From Barron County.
CLINTON, BARRON Co, Wis, !
March 2O ISSS


Mr. EDITOR: All old lumbermen agree
in saying that this has been the hardest
winter for their business they have
ever known. There is, and has been
for the last two months, something
more than three feet of the "beauti-
full, and the weather remains so cold
that it settles very slowly. w. B..
Judd, of Barron, has just commenced
putting his logs on j. Zeller's place,
100000 it. into the mill yard at Clin-
ton Center. Geo. Parr, of Barron, is
also putting a large number in at the
same place. Clinton Center is the
name given to the vicinity in which
new saw.mill has been located by W.
ii. Rowley & Co.. who have purchased
a tract OF land of o. A. Warren. One
new dwelling house has been ell ected,
and Mr.. Warren intends to build one
on his land near the mill; also, a
school-house in the Marsh district was
built last fall 1T the Center. The
Marsh Bros. have been doing con-
siderable logging in hard wood and are
now shipping lumber to Chicago.
Geo. n. Campbell is also shipping
hard wood lumber this week.
Services are held in the church ev.
cry Sunday afternoon, at three O'Clock;
and Elder Erwin intends to organize a
Sabbath school as soon as weather and
roads will permit. The young people
are trying to have good time and,
judging from appearances, are succeed

Bogus Baking Powder Tests.

Rather ingenious but not less fraud
ulent are the pretended tests of hak-
ing powder being made in many of our
kitchens by agents who are trying to
further the sale of Chicago article
These so-cailed tests consist in mixing
separately, with water, sample of
the baking powder found in the house
and of that carried by the agent.
From that found in the house, if pure
article, the bubbles of gas will rise
and burst on top like those from a
glass of champagne. The Chicago
baking powder which they carry,
when mixed with water, will show an
extra froth upon the top of the mix
ture which is claimed as evidence of
superiority. On the contrary, how
ever, it is not only the exhibition of
trick, but is absolute proof that the
baking powder which 50 acts is adulter-
ated. The chemists have ascertained
that the adulterant used is a chemical
added for the express purpose of pro-
ducing this action and deceiving house
keepers as to the value of the baking
powder This is not only dishonest
trick, but dirty one, for the chemi-
CCtl 10 NiiG DAOauOb VI OtiC lliIill lGluNC
of the slaughter house, and if this bak-
ing powder is used in the preparation
of food passes into the biscuit or cake
without change. OF course, any state
ments made in reference to other bak-
ing powders, by parties caught in prac-
Using such tricks as these for the pur.
pose Of deceiying the public, will be
entitled to no credit.
1t is probably wisest in the interest
of our families, and to prevent our
food from being contaminated by
tramps of this kind, to turn all persons
who wish or attempt to tamper with
it unceremoniously from the door, and
to use those articles only which ex-
perlence has proved satisfactory, or
the official tests have established as
pure and wholesome.

A stormy session of the next general
conference of the Methodist Episcopal
church, which meets in May next, is
predicted by some persons. The ques-
ton, for the first time in the history
of the church, on the admission of
women deiegates as members of the
conference, will come up. Women
have not thus far been recognized in
the ecclesiastical bodies of the leading
evangelical churches. Methodist wOm-
en- have always enjoyed large liberty in
speaking in the churches, but have
never participated in the business
matters of the General Conference.
Some distinguished Methodist women
have been elected delegates, and among
them Miss Frances Willard, of Chicago.

country. What viii be done in her
case and others is the question.

The month of May is rich in birthdays
ofillustrous men. Can you not use them
to some good purpose in your school? If
of an author, write his name with the
year of his birth on the board in the
morning. Ask your pupils to repeat it.
Thus on the first day of May write the
name of Joseph Addison ON the board
with the date May LIST, 1852. Ask sepa-
rate pupils to read it thus-"To-day or
May LIST, 1892, Joseph Addison was born"
At the first recess write underneath the
date-"He was an English author, essay
list, humorist, moralist; wrote the poem
"The Campaign, which won him a gov
eminent office" At noon write some
good thought from his works or what
some one has said of him, for example.
johnson says of him-"Whoever wishes
to attain an English style, familiar but
not coarse, elegant but not ostentatious,
must give his days and nights to Addison"
Five minutes before closing at night de-
vote some attention to fixing the fact in
the minds of the pupils, also to gaining
definitions of the words descriptive of
him. On the 2nd, Rev Robert Hall Of
England was born, 1894. "At niue, had
read and could discuss some deep works
on the mind" On May Sd, review and
ask what the pupils have found out of
these men. If their investigation of a
necessity has been meager, read 10 them
something from or of these men or tell
them something interesting in order that
they become little acquainted with
them. On the 4th, Horace Mann Of
Mass. (1796) will do for an excellent sub
ject. "He was a great educator and
friend of popular education; studied the
educational systems of Europe. His an
nual reports as Secretary of Education of
Mass. are widely known.
On the 9TH, (Mondayl review again.
Ask them to repeat the thought about
Addison, etc. This can be brought in at
any time during the day when a general
dullness seems to prevade the room. The
review must be spirited, enthusiastic, and
enjoyed fully by the teacher u order
that the pupils may become fully inter
ested.
On the 18th, 1855 Gabriel Daniel Fair
enheit was born. He invented the Their
morneter which bears his name. On the
Is, qs0l) W. II. Seward Of Florida was
born. This brings up naturally the as
sassination of Lincoln. Thus during the
month the names Of Thomas Hood, Stew
en- Girard, Emerson, Nathaniel Green,
and Charles the Second would come up.
Try it. If you attempt it at all. do it
with determination to make something
of it.

Deal Fairly With the Fair.

1t is not right that an enterprise de-
signed for the public good and promo
tive of the public interests, should be
sustained by a few men. OF such
character is the..San Antonio fair. or
this institution, were it productive of
beneficial results to it's inaugurators
solely, then the inaugurators should
alone sustain it. But this is not the
case. Every business man, from the
peanut vender to the merchant prince;
every property holder from the owner
of a town lot to the land king; every
man in every department of labor and
industry is vitality interested, for all
are proportionately beneticiaries.
When the Dallas fair was inaugurated
a few enterprising men st0od
at it's helm. When its results
were demonstrated the citizens OF
Dallas rose above the twaddle, always
incident to such great enterprises,
about a corporation of men wanting 10
make money, and all joining handsssn
q common work for the common good.
Today Dallas is the best advertised
town in Texas, and she has pouring
into the channels of her trade an an
nually recurring autumnal stream OF
gold-all through her fair. History
repeats itself in the affairs of COM
merce as we'll as in the affairs of ma
tions. The intelligent citizen of san
Antonio is tempted to ask ',why can t
San Antonio do with her fair all that
Dallas has done with hers" and the
progressive citizen straightway an
swers, there is no good and sufficient
reason why San Antonio should not.
Today committee representing not
the San Antonio Fair Association
so much as the vital interests of san
Antonio and the southwest, are So
Letting subscriptions of stock. Put
aside your squeamishness, come up TO
the requirements Of the emergency
and the hour, and do your whole duty
to yourselves, your town and your
section, by meeting these gentlemen
upon the high and progressive
ground of the common good, and help
this enterprise to permanency ana
lasting success.

Inscribed 10 my Old Frend
f. p. c.
Where few persons grieve
And thirsty ones nod,
A dry son of Eve
Sought deep-water tod;
Twas apparent, alas
That his vision was weak
AS he reached for a glass
To emblazon his beak.
The glass sought his mouth
In the old-fashioned way,
To extinguish the drouth
OF a long summers day;
But his arm got nudge
From dude on the sly,
When, spillng, the "budge"
Formed lake in his eye.
AS it welled in his eyes,
Which were blind until then,
He saw with surprise
He had vision again
The darkness had flown,
He could see like prince,
So whisky's been known
AS "eye-water" since.
