In the matter of inducing sleep much
depends upon tho individual. One per-
son ill find hearty meal before bed
time conducive to sleep, while another
thinks that an empty stomach is the
best plan in order to obtain sleep. A
cold bath, rubbing the hands in cold
water, wet towel applied to the tenn
Piles are all helpful to a good nights
rest. Some persons think that the only
way to insure sleep is to fix the mind

Will We Have Beet Sugar Plant?

A large number Of our business mon
and persons from out of town held
meeting here Friday afternoon to
take into consideration the desirable
ity of the erection of a beet sugar
plant here. Several years ago the
Experimental station at Madison made
a test of the sugar beets raised
in this vicinity and demonstrated the
fact that they contained larger per-
centage of sugar than those pro-
duced in any other section of the
Union. This being the case, Water
town should be an ideal location for
a beet sugar plant.
w. H. Wheeler, of Beloit, ad-
dressed the meeting, and showed that
the failure of the Menominee Falls
plant was due to poor machinery and
the lateness of its construction. He
would erect a plant costing about
$275, 900, 100000 to be raised in this
vicinity, $780, 900 in the surrounding
towns and the balance by bonding the
plant.
Here is an opportunity for our
farmers to raise a more diversified
crop, and besides net them from $40
to 500 per acre. Mr.. Wheeler is a
man of energy and experience, and
will locate plant here if given proper
encouragement. Don't throw away
the opportunity.

The Salary Question.

In raising the question of salaries
for our mayor and aldermen, The Ca
zette last week said: The time is
coming, if it has not already arrived,
when it will be almost next to impos-
sible to get good men to serve the city
as aldermen unless they are paid for
their services The Gazette casts
reflection perhaps Internationally
on the ability Of our present council,
which, everybody must admit, con-
tains some very excellent members,
who seem perfectly willing to serve
the city without pay. This idea of
allowing these officials salary is ali
right in one way,-We mean that they
would undoubtedly earn it,-but it
would be pretty tough proposition
for lot of conscientious public
servants to vote themselves a salary
after induction into Office. And
again, We do not think that a paltry
compensation would be any induce
ment for certain of our citizens to
strive for these offices. On the other
hand it would only be an incentive for
the undesirable class to pose as can
didates, and it is a matter of history
that some of these are not always de-
feated at the polls. 1t would perhaps
be wi, : to ''let well enough alone" in
this instance.

THE UNIVERSITY COURSE.
The Last of the Ssries-The Election
and Inauguration of Our First
President the Entertain
ing Subject


The sixth and last lecture of the
series was concluded at the high
school last Friday evening before the
largest audience Of the season. Pro-
lessor Sparks gave highly fascinat-
ing sketch of the characters and
historical places SO intimately asso-
ciated with the election and inaugu-
ration of our first president, and devel-
oped many amusing and even pathetic
incidents in the life of Washington.
His susceptibility to the influence of
the fair sex; his first attempt at love-
making, and his subsequent acct
dental meeting with the widow Gus
tbs, and his brief courtship and
marriage. Washington was of very
domestic disposition, and much pre-
ferred the quiet happiness of home
life to the exalted and responsible du-
ties which his patriotic nature had
compelled him to assume. We follow
him from the time he leaves his home
at Mount Vernon until he reaches the
capital city of the new republic, and
witness the ovations accorded him by
the people as he rides his trusty
charger over the almost impossible
roads of those early days.
The life of President Washington
during the closing months of his second
term was harrassed by the unmerited
attacks Of carping critics, who at
tributed to him a desire to subvert
the liberties of the people and pro-
claim himself dictator. Lady Wash
ington also came in Tor her share of
abuse, and her method of entertain
ing, though simple and fully in keep
ing with the democratic spirit of the
age, was harshly censur and brought
much unhappiness to the president
and his wife President Washington
was only too glad to retire to private
life at the end of his second term,
broken in spirit, and bitterly realizing
the ingratitude of man.
The magic lantern, kindly loaned
for the occasion by the Northwestern
university, and operated with precis-
ion by DR.. OFT, Of that institution,
was a very valuable aid in keeping
the audience in touch with Professor
Sparks unusually fine illustrations.
Professor Viebahn prefaced the
exercises with a well-merited COM
mendation of Professor Sparks and
the benefit resulting from the course.
He urged his hearers to help con-
tinue the good work should opportu-
nifty offer, as he felt that these lectures
were valuable aid in the cause of
education.
