This reclamation district has been
without organization for some time. and
the new board intends to push matters
along. The leyee will be strengthened a
drainage way excavated and pumps
placed to reclaim the land of sipage
water. IF harmony prevails in the dis
trict, there is no reason to doubt that
every acre will be in cultivation in 1894.

The Mouth

The mouth is the front door of your
face. 1t is the aperture to the cold
storage of your anatomy. Some mouths
look like peaches and C cam, and some
look like hole chopped into brick
wall to admit new door or window.
The mouth is hotbed for toothaches,
the bung. hole for Oratory and a baby's
browning glory. 1t is the crimson
aisle of our liver and natures appara-
tus for blowing out gas. 1t is patri-
otism's fountain head and tool chest
for pie Without it politician would
be a wanderer on the face OF the earth
and the cornetist and the chorus girl
would go down to unhOnOred graves.
1t is the grocer's friend, the orator 8
pride and the dentists hope. 1t puts
some men on the rostrum and many
on the stone pile. 1t is temptations
lunch counter when attached to maid
en-, and the tobacconist's friend when
attached to man. without it marTi-
ed life would be a perpetual summer
dream and the dude would lose half
his attractions. And most OF all and
greatest of all, if there were no mouths
there would be no good byes or happy
greetings no words of comfort or hope,
no laughter full of sunshine or songs
full of praise. The hired man could
not be called to dinner and no one
would sing Boon de ay. "-Ex.

a Bread Contest.

The difference between these times
and one year ago is forcibly portrayed
by Alex. Gingles. the well-known
street contractor of st. Paul.
Il tell you." he said, "these times
are not much as they were last
fall. Why was paying common lab
orers 81 % day then and had to
handle them with silk gloves and
honeyed words to keep them from
quitting for an easier job. Last week
l wanted a few men TO finish up a
street grade at Sl.25 a day, | put a
line or two in ~ evening paper, and
the next morning there were han
bred laborers at the diggings, when |
only needed a dozen or 1ifteen,-al
desperate for the places. L didn't
think anything particular about it and
threw out few shovels from my
wagon upon the ground. Those poor
like street urchins after pennies, and
actually got almost into riot to get
possession of the shovels and thus, as
they thought, make sure of job.
Two or three fellows would be tumb-
ling over each other in a hand to hand
encounter, and one poor fellow even
got knocked down in the scramble. 1t
was just a battle of the survival of
the strongest, and all for the privilege
of working "a short time for Sl.25 a
day. Had L the heart | could have
gotten all the help L wanted for 90
cents ~; and mind you | never had
men Do SO much work aud do it so
willingly as they did. They kept a
cloud of sand pouring into the cars.
1t is a wonderful contrast from one
year ago" said Mr.. Gingles; "but it
makes my heart ache to see the thous.
ands of poor fellows who cannot find
employment at any price. Give me
the good old times and plenty of
work"

Yours very truly,
Wisconsin Weather Crop Bulletin.
MILWAUKEE. Aup. %. 1906

MILWAUKEE, Aug. %, 1898.
Weather conditions the past week
have been generally favorable to the
growing crops, and at the same time
quite as favorable to threshing and
housing cut grain.
The shower period of the 15th-16th,
with scattering showers the 18th, was
of great benefit and an average of
nearly an inch of rain fell over the
state; heavier in the southern and
central counties and quite light in the
northwest. Following the showers
the weather remained clear and cold
and late potatoes, corn, millet and
buckwheat have all been doing well,
as also pastures.
The rain freshened vegetation, re-
lieved the depressed spirits of the
farmers and placed the corn crop so
far ahead that throughout all of the
southern and central counties the crop
will be past danger of early frosts in
ten days to two weeks, with a large
yield in many cases. Potatoes were
improved by the rain and except in
the north and northwest counties will
not fall very far short of an average
crop.
Threshing continues general and the
reports of the past two weeks regard
ing light yields are confirmed. In a
few favored southern counties the
grain is above expectation.
Buckwheat was much benefited by
the rain of last week and is doing
well. The prospect of showers over
the state tonight and Wednesday
morning will also add to its condi-
tion.
Tobacco is being cut but is proving
small; the drouth shortened the
growth and forced the plant to ma
turity. Western counties report the
plant small aud uneven.
Fall blowing has begun in many
counties.
Cranberries are doing well and only
need rain for the reservoirs as a pro.
lection against frost.

The Situation.

Hard times are not the creation of
a day. Like great wave the finan.
cial condition of a country rises and
falls, and time is an essential element.
The election last November chilled
the business pulse and to-day the ac-
tual result is coming to view. When
the telegraphic reports announced the
election of Cleveland upon the free
trade platform, investors and money
lenders hesitated to place their money
in contemplated enterprises and manu-
facturers and wholesalers curtailed
their business. The country at large
did not. at once, wake up to the actual
condition, and prosperity apparently
continued for time. But the great
wave thus started gradually spread
over the industries of the nation until
the height of panic was reached.
The early want of confidence in the
administration was the primary cause.
This want of confidence rested upon
the declarations of the Chicago plat
form and free-trade theories of Grover
Cleveland. And just such result
must be expected when any radical
legislation affecting business interests
is threatened or enacted.
Mr.. Cleveland has done much to as
sure the country of the good intentions
of the administration by the position
taken on the money question, which
while over rated as to its Importance
is doing much TO check the scare.
But the one great need is to restore
confidence at the point where it was
lost, viz: upon the question of tariff
legislation. This must be done before
the reaction toward prosperity will be
healthy and effective. and it is the
duty of Mr.. Cleveland and his party
in Congress to sink the partisan in the
patriot and assure the country that
they will not keep their bad promises
made in the Chicago platform. At
least let the President urge upon
Congress that, owing to the present
condition of the country, no tariff
changes will be made for the period OF
two years. Let Congress adopt such
"a resolution and confidence will be full
Iy restored. money will return to tbs
channels of trade and the wheels o.
industry will resume their old-tim'
whir.-7Hs Eafsriag Wedge.

1t is doubtful il the Bearing Sea de-
cision is one that either the Ameri-
can or British can afford to rejoice
much over, because it is going 30 re-
quire both governments to maintain
expensive fleets in Attic waters to
prevent poachers from taking seals
where and how they will, and that
brings up the question whether the
seals are worth all this trouble. The
policy of spending the money of sixty
five millions of people to protect game
that can be enjoyed by comparatively
few aristOcrats, and that is entirely
beyond the reach of the masses, may
well be open TO objection.
