we consider as home news; for, after
all, Wisconsin will always be our
home, although it looks as though we
were going to reside here for an indefi-
mite period of time. We have built
us coy house and are enjoying our
selves as we'll as possible; and we are
in shape to offer our friends chance
at bed and board, should any of them
ever stray down this way. We have
found many Wisconsin people here
