Work on the sewer contract has
been good deal handicapped Of late by
the rainy weather and delay in securing
pipe as fast as was needed. The Hayes
Bros. were compelled to lay off one gang
for these reasons so that not over half
the job is completed yet. About doz-
en- car loads OF pipe are yet needed in
this work.
For the past few months the st.
Paul road has been making experiments
at Morrisonville and DeForest by taking
out the telegraph keys and putting in
telephones. Messages are telephoned to
Madison and Portage and then sent to
their destination. The plan works ad-
mirably, and probably most of the small
er stations will be cut off later and this
system introduced.
The High School foot ball team
bumped up against pretty hard propo-
sition at Evansville Saturday when they
met boys several sizes their superior in
weight and age. They had no show TO
win but put up plucky game, holding
the score down to IS to 0. They met the
Academy team at Albion Wednesday
afternoon, which were more equally
matched and a snappy game followed
in which neither team scored.
The excessive rain falls of late have
been bad for the beet growers, coming
just as it does when the crop is being
harvested and some dry weather is
needed. The result is that the beets
carry too much dirt and will be subject
to heavy tares. Besides, growers cannot
haul the usual sized loads over muddy
roads. On low lands it has been diff
cult to get onto the fields, much less to
make any Roadway with the harvest.
Gus Drager came in from Boscobel
Saturday night with a string of horses
which he has been campaigning at the
county fairs for several weeks past. A.
Borns stallion, "Dr. Hardie," has quite
snug sum of winnings to his credit
from the trip. This horse has developed
we'll during the first seasons training
and promises we'll. He is not only a
trotter himself, but producer OF trot-
ters, for three OF his get have gone into
the 80 class this season.
The anniversary OF the End birthday
of little Dola E.. Parr, daughter of Rev.
and Mrs. Parr, was celebrated at their
home last Monday. About twenty
babies, accompanied by their mothers,
were present to help make the affair a
most enjoyable one. The rooms were
prettily decorated with national flags,
autumn leaves and flowers, and as SOU
venirs of the occasion bon-bons were
handed each of the little guests. Sup
per was served and before departing for
their homes the guests presented little
Dola with many pretty gifts as remind
ers OF her second birthday anniversary
While digging a hole in the yard
back Of his house in Porter last week,
Aaron Wallin found Spanish shilling
bearing date OF 1917. Just how this old
piece of foreign money came there will
in all probability remain a mystery. Mr..
Wallin has lived there nearly fifty years
and to the best Of his knowledge this
kind of money was never handled on the
place in that time. Away back in the
'3O's Spanish money of the same demon
nation was the principal coin used in
New York state by traders and Indians
