Mrs. Wood who held the po sition ZVi years, wearied of the petty squabbles which came before her. During her term of office Mrs. Wood performed one marriage and presided at countless traffic vio-altion and intoxication hearings.

Her husband is 83. They have been married 61 years. ed. Women got busy copying designs out of satin, velvet and taffeta, all with elaborate trimmings. Former milliners were found to create the hats.

Dye Underwear Long suits of underwear were dyed in varied brilliant shades for tights; silver leggings were cre ated for the riders; buttons were rescued from many of the button boxes in town for the women's bodices of many shades of velvet. Much of the material came from Madison but when searches there were unfruitful, mail order catalogs were studied. The result of all these many hours of work was a group of gorgeous costumes. The next year the women again worked faithfully at 22 authentic costumes for the girls representing the cantons of Switzerland. These girls entertain between acts with foiK dancing.

Last year over- blouses made from lace manufac tured at New Glarus were constructed to wear over the black gowns of a group of choir boys.

Loomis, Progressive candidate for governor, received the largest number of votes cast for a gubernatorial candidate. Complete returns from four wards gave Loomis 265 votes, while Heil received 129 votes. The combined votes received by the three Republican candidates, Heil, Murray, and Robinson, was 260, less than the total polled by Loomis. Stoufihton's fourth ward was the only ward giving Heil a greater number of votes. Heil received 72; Loomis, 50.

Lack of interest in the election was evident throughout the day. Up to noon, only 24 votes had txen cast in the first ward, 26 in the second, 12 in the third, and 35 in the fourth, making a total of less than 100 votes during the morning of the primary. The apathetic attitude on the part of the voters was believed due to interest in the war. When the polls closed, a total of 591 votes had been cast. Ac cording to wards, the number is first, 115; second, 119; third, 171; and fourth, 186.

VACATIONS HERE Mildred Ellickson, senior nurse at Columbia hospital in Milwaukee, has arrived for a three weeks' By MRS. A. J. THEILER (State Journal Correspondent) NEW GLARUS Thousands al ready have seen the nine presentations of the Wilhelm Tell play given here, and thousands more are expected to see the English performance Sunday afternoon, postponed from Labor day. few of these spectators realize all that goes on behind the scenes during the plays or know about the small town cooperation that makes this project a success.

None of the performers, direc tors or workers on the grounds are paid, but all of the work is done by volunteers interested in this community undertaking. For weeks rehearsals are held every night, first in the Zwingli House, parish house of the Evan gelical and Reformed congregation, and then, as the time of the production nears, in the woods at the scene of the Wilhelm Tell grounds. Rehearsals the first few years were by the light of car headlights, but recently large floodlights have been installed by the village. Have Other Duties, Too Although definite hours are set for rehearsal of certain scenes, it is sometimes impossible for the actors to be there on the dot. Her man Feller, for example, who takes the part of Rudenz, the young nobleman in the Swiss cast, is a cheesemaker and each night first must make his quota of cheese.

Ed Vollenweider, who plays the part of Tell in the Swiss version of the play, comes home certain nights when he can get off his strenuous job at the Badger Ordnance Works, and Gilbert Ott, the other Tell, is a busy lumber dealer, member of the school board, and president of the Wilhelm Tell Community guild. Paul Grossenbacher, the Swiss Gessler, is a busy farmer who does oil paintings in his few leisure hours. He, Vollenweider, and Jacob Kopp, the Swiss Attinghausen, were educated in Switzerland Kopp is familiar with five lan guages. They and many others in the cast became familiar with the story of Wilhelm Tell in the schools of the "old country" and played roles in small productions over there. Teachers in Cast Ed Scharer, Ray W.

Meythaler, and Richard Schuster, of the high school teaching staff, but none, of them Swiss nor native-born at New Glarus, are members the cast and work as hard as the others. The director of the English play, Edwin Barlow, was raised this community but later appeared on Broadway, and has traveled extensively in Europe and South America. After witnessing the Interlaken Tell play, he conceived the idea of starting the same kind of a project in this Swiss community. Few were interested at first but interest grew. Mrs.

Belle Streiff, Barlow's aunt, who directs the Swiss play, is a native of Switzerland, a grand mothers six times over, and a busy farm housewife. And, so one might go on men in the cast are hard-working farmers, business, and professional figures, and the women are busy housewives and mothers. They Work Up Many of the younger people In the group started in with minor parts in the mob and are already taking more important parts. Some day they will be the principal actors Very few of the original cast have dropped out except for reasons of ill health. But those in the cast are not the only ones who work for the play' success.

The first year, costumes were rented from a professional company but were not at all satisfactory, so the following year Barlow did intensive research work about the authentic wearing apparel for the play. During the summer he challenged the women of the community to make these elaborate affairs.
