year than ever.
Miss Henkel is guest of her
cousin, Miss Lena Jeide.
-Fifty-six tickets were sold at this

1t is easy to have too much of a
good thing; two sweethearts at the
same time for example.
You might as we'll get your sweet
tooth pulled for the candymakers
have gone irto trust.
The people who are perfectly sat-
listed with themselves are the ones
who make the photographers rich.
"A newly married couple always
imagine they are living on love until
the first butchers bill is handed in.
A card received from w. j. Miller
requests the change of his address
from Cedar Falls, Ia, to Goblesville,
Mich.
Nothing is so bad that it couldn't
be worse. We can't suffer from in
somnia and nightmare at the same
time.
A dance was given in the large
new barn recently completed on the
Muench farm west of town Friday
evening.
Henry Gerlach who has been en-
ployed on the Muscoda Waterman for

If a man should drive along a
country road in rubber tired hack,
pulled by four horses, how the people
would rubber.
1t has been proven and is a mat
ter of fact that no difference what
mans business, if he has anything TO
sell the newspapers can help him sell
it. There is no other way of pushing
a business that counts so much for
the money as advertising in the local
paper.
Rural mail delivery is so desirable
that the Postofice department is
fooded with petitions for the estab-
lishment of new routes. These petit
ions cannot all be granted but it is APP
parent that the delivery of letters in
the rural districts will become the
rule instead of the exception in a
paratively few years.
The lark was up to meet the sun
and carol forth it's lay; the farmers
son took down his gun and at him
blazed away. The busy bee arose at
five and hummed the meadow DER;
the farmers wife went for his hive
and robbed him of his store. The lit
tie ant rose early too, his labors to
begin, greedy sparrow passed that
way and took his antship in. Oh,
birds and bees and ants be wise; in
proverbs take no stock; and like the
mossback do not rise till half past

As far as kissing at the railway
stations is concerned the farewell
warnings and advice given at tn. de-
pots cause more delay than the kiss

are down in case of Storm" and
1'now you let me hear from you" and
so on and on. If the railroad folks

ter shut off the gabfest instead of the
kissing for kissing is short and sweet
and the other is neither.
We are dismayed by the action of
a jury who recently decided that
hug was worth only cent. Besides
the fact that it was lie it is an awful
>cheapening of valuable asset. Just
think of it. One hundred for dol
lar. A man could go out this beauti-
full bright weather and hug his collar
bones loose for fifty cents. Everybody
knows a hug is worth more than a
cent. Most of us would willingly
pay as high as dime. But now here
comes jury and awards woman
who has been Rugged one cent. If
this is fixed by law as the ruling price
there won't be any other work done
this year.
An Iowa county father who is so
fortunate as to have two or three
daughters of a manageable age re-
Gently took occasion to have his sofa
upholstered and here is what he found

Forty hairpins, thirty mine col
