AN observing person scarcely ex-
lists day without seeing a horse or
team illtreated. While some men
are naturally cruel and tax e pleasure
in inficting pain, they are few, the
majority injuring horses under their
care do so more from ignorance
than intention. The proper treat
ment of horses preserves their health
and strength and prolongs their use
fulness and also proves economical
PROBABLY more of the tubers are
grown in Waupaca county than in
in any other territory of equal area
in the world. The annual crop of
potato bugs is correspondingly
large and in consequence Waapaca
is the biggest retail market for Paris
green in this country. Waupaca
druggists purchase the poison by
the ton, but just now they cannot
get their orders filled because some
one has apparently cornered the
Paris green market.
The subject of the following
item taken from the Des Moines,
Iowa, Register of recent date, was
born in Mineral Point, and although
quite young when he left here, will
be remembered by many: "Among
the graduates from Harvard in the
class of 1913 are William Anthony
Clark and Arthur Tate Brown, of
Des Moines. The former is the son
of William II. Clark, of 9l4 Ninth
street, and has persevered with his
struggle with i'll health until he has
been awarded a degree by the great
university. His father is connected
with the Des Moines Insurance
Company. He will remain in Boston
for the present and will study for
the ministry"
THE tornado which passed through
a northwestern section of Iowa on
the evening of the 9th inst. proved
the most destructive in the history
of that state. About eighty persons
lost their lives in consequence, over
one hundred and twenty-five were
crippled, mangled or badly bruised,
some of whom will die, and about
two hundred and ten residences
were swept completely from the
face OF the earth, not board being
left. Aside from all this dire des-
truction there's the loss of stock,
barns, outbuildings, etc, and dam
age to crops, which is certainly very
great. The distance covered is said
to be fully one hundred miles by
one-half mile wide.
SUGGESTIONS thrown out by the
TRIBUNE bear fruit sometimes. The
board of review which was in sit
ting last week for the purpose of
equalizing assessments in this city
proved industrious and painstaking
to a degree seldom equalled, and
their efforts are worthy Of praise.
Those who have been burdened
with assessments on real estate to
about one-half Of its value, through
the mistaken idea that all were
receiving the same dose, will learn,
if they have not ere this, that the
boards action was no detriment to
them, and those who have escaped
paying what they ought, through
oversight Of the assessor or because
Of misrepresentation to him, have
had raise slapped on, such as was
