GOOD LIVING DESIRED.

One of the commoncst ami one NJ
the worst mistakes on the farm is The
lal'urc TO look upon comfortable AID
wholesome living as a thing as much,
II not more to be desired, than making
money. Farming in this country is
gradu lily getting away from its old
wo kings, says The Ili-sStote Farmer
a generation or two ago, a period. bv
the way, that is often referred to as
the "aood old times.n farming was
looked upon primarily as a way 10
luakc Il living. Almost everythlno
consumed upon the farm was made
there, of both food and clothing, and
largely, TOO, the carpets, and house
hold furniture. The expenditures for
all these things were extremely small
and yet, people on the farm lived in
tie greatest comfort, enjoyed the most
robust health and though the prices of
farm products were very low, almost
all OF them made some money. More
over, though farming was then in no
sense Il speculative enterprise, and
though then land was to be had free.
to a larger extent than now, land
values were higher higher and for the
purpose of making loans farms were
considered the hes: security that could
be Offered. OF course, we cannot now
go back TO primitive methods in every
respect. 1t will not pay to weave
cloth and do many other things that
our g:andfathcrs did; but we could
WIN great profit to ourselves raise al
most everything we eat and give more
attention to doing it lhan in raising
what Is known as the "moncy crop.3
And what is to be specially considered
Is the fact thatfhe farmer who does so
VIII seldom ever come TO be the victim
OF debt, the worst slavery on earth.
Anew farmers growinga "speciultyn
n buying everything for home con
sumption succeed and do well; but as q
rule, the average farmer" who farms
Tor Il living gets far more satisfaction
Out OF life than the one crop man. Now
at the beginning of anew year is a good

lie Wanted to lie Remembered to IA
Friend in Heaven.


A wcll-llnown literary man whose
identity may as well be lost in the ficti-
tious name of Prof. k, but who lives
in an eastern city. affords his friends no
littie amusement by reason OF his for
Getfulness and the ''wool-gu thering"
state of his mind to have his wits about
him, says the Detroit Free Press. This
failing leads him into doing and say
ing come very funny things.
Ore day recently he was talking to n
party of his friends, and he said:
"Do you know that | have byen TO the
funeral of four of my old friendG within
ten days, and it-wcll, it rather de-
presses me, you know. Now, on Mon
day, | attended the funeral OF old Mrs.
l., n good soll she was, n good soul.
Then on Wednesday | went TO the
funeral of another old friend thought

went to old Mr.. BIS funeral. Then

me, dear me, what am | talking about?
Mr.. Nj isn't dead yet; but then he's
very low and I'm going to his funeral,
which will make four in a very short
tinie!'
At another time the professor was

by a lady who evidently knew him, but
whcm he could not remember having
met before. Too kind and polite to ac-
knowledge his ignorance of the lady's
name he sa.d. in his most afrablc man
rcr: 'DClirhted to see you, del GIFTED.
Is your husband herc?''
"My husband ?" said the lady, soberly.
"Ny husband is in Heaven"
"Oh, 10 be sure; to be sure" said the
professor, with his thoughts far away.

The state board of equalization, con-
sisting of Secretary of State Casson,

equalization of the assessments in the
several counties in the state upon
which taxes will be levied. The total
assessment as made by the local boards
in the state aggregated 1928, 5O4, oil;
this is reduced by the state board of
equalization to $600,000,000, the same
as last year. The reductions, however,
we're made only in fourteen counties of
the state, while the assessments in the
other ffty-six were increased. Mil
Naukee county was favored with the
largest reduction, its local assessment
of $164.052, 1886 being reduced about
$33 100000. Douglas county got tie
next largest reduction, about $4,000,

There has recently come to our
knowledge striking instance of the
forethought and forehandedness dis
played in keeping supplies well up to
the front during the operations in
Cuban waters, which Is worthy OF
special mention. During the operations
off Santiago, certain parts of the
mechanism of turret gun on one OF
our battleships showed signs of failure,
and a dispatch was sent to Washington
reporting the circumstance and asking
that duplicate parts be sent. Allow
ing for the time necessary for securing
or making these parts and shipping
them to Santiago, the captain OF the
ship expected to receive them in about
thirty days. As matter OF fact, thoy
were received in nine days after the
resuisition was made. This expedition
was due to the fact that the ordnance
officer at New York had anticipated
such occurrences by shipping to Key
West and keeping in store a reserve OF
such parts of our guns as were most
liable to failure; and six days after the
failure occurred, word reached the
battleship that the duplicate parts had
left Key West.
In respect of the supply of ammuni-
ton Ia most vital considerations these
days of rapid fire guns), it is greatly to
the credit of the department. that the
ships, including those under admiral
Dewey, in the far east. were always
fully supplied, while the vessels OF
Simpsons squadron came back to New
York with their magazines completely
filed.

1t was announced this morning that
Hon. John F. Reynolds, Assemblyman

The fight for Senator is becoming

division among the Racine county Re-
pubiicans and so much so that COM

decided upon.

KEMPER HALL OPENS.

Large Attendance.

Large Attendance.
Kemper Hall re- opened its doors for
the year on Wednesday afternoon, and
everything points to large attend
ance. Many of the old girls have not
returned, but their places have been
filled by the great influx of new stud
ents. Kemper Hall is gaining a great
reputation, and the new students come
from nearly every part of the United
States. During the past year the
buildings and grounds have been
changed and beautifed, and many
changes will be noticed by the students
who we're in attendance last year.
There have also been some changes in
the faculty. Miss Braislin who was for
some time connected with Kemper Hall
has returned, and will have charge of
the work in Latin, Greek and mathe-
matics.
During Miss Braisiin's absence from
Kenosha she has been in charge of a
private school for young ladies at
Bordertown, N. j., and has gained a
great deal of valuable experience. The
new instructor is we'll and favorably
known in educational circles and her
addition to the faculty of Kemper Hall
will be hailed with JOY by the friends of
the institution.

THE WHIST CLUB.
Old Southport Club Rooms are Secured
as Rendesvouz of the Club.

as heuUeSVOuI VI Gu0 C1uD.
The success of the organization of
the Kenoeha Whist club seems to be
assured, as on Wednesday afternoon
William Fisher rented the old South
port club rooms for the use of the club
during the coming winter, and from all
appearances the old rooms will become
the scene of many exciting contests
The organization of the club is as
yet in chaotic condition, but a meet
ing will be held next week to complete
the formal organization. Mr.. Fisher,
who is at the head of the movement is
great lover of good whist and he said
today that he saw no reason why a
large club should not be organized
here. The whist players of the city
have had a sort of half way organiza-
ton for some time, but the plan now is
to make the organization permanent.
