Mothers Love Strong.

After having lived at the Rock county
poor farm for nine years with her
daughter, Mrs. Julia Swinson has taken
her departure rather than be brought
before Judge Sale and show cause why
her little girl should not be taken from
her.
Mrs. Swinson formerly resided in the
town of Fulton and after the death of
her husband she was obliged to have her
children turned over to the care of the
state. She was then obliged to go to the
county poor house, taking with her a
baby girl only few months old. That
was nine years ago and all this time Mrs.
Swinson and child have remained to-
gether at the farm; --~s 49,.
During visit of member Of the
state board of control two years ago the
case was called to his attention. He at
once decided that the child was growing
up in ignorance and that it was high
time she was sent to some school to learn
to read and write. But the mother
would not part from the child and all
efforts on the part of Supt. Killiam failed
to convince her that she was in the
wrong. The strong arm Of the law then
made it's appearance and the case was
to have been brought before Judge Sale
this week. Now it appears that Mrs.
Swinson and daughter. rather than ap-
pear in court, have suddenly taken their
departure from the county farm for
parts unknown.

Oldest Dane County Man Dies.

George Dow of Cambridge, one of the
pioneers of Dane county and believed to
be the oldest man in southern Wiscon-
sin, died at his home Tuesday at 5:45 in
the afternoon. He was in his 9th year
and had been sick for six months death
being due to general breaking down
consequent upon old age. The funeral
will be held Thursday afternoon.
The deceased was born in Perthshire,
Scotland, January 9, 1908. In 1880 he
came to America, and ten years later re-
moved to Dane county, purchasing gov
eminent land in the town of Christiana
at Cambridge, now village. In 1847 he
built hotel at Cambridge, the first one
constructed in the eastern part of Dane
county. In 1854 he acquired sawmill
and also Touring mill at Cambridge
The latter was profitable Investment
In 1868 he erected wooden mill and in
1874 built cheese factory. Three years
later he purchased a half interest in the
Stoughton Touring mills and became
heavy stockholder in the Stoughton
State bank In 1867 he entered into the
mercantile business with A. B. Carpen-
ter.
Mr.. Dow was probate judge of Jeffer-
son county 1918, and county treasurer
in 1849 In connection with ex-Govern-
or Taylor he purchased the site and
erected the Dane county poor house.
He was married to Miss Janet Black iI
New York City in 1882. They had six
children, three sons and three daughter.

stoughtOn to Have New L. D. Building.

Postmaster G. A Hanson and Cashier
Robe Dow Of the Stoughton State bank
have received notice from Washington,
D. c., to the effect that the bid of the
Bows for the leasing of building in
which to accommodate the Stoughton
postoffice, had been accepted by the de-
partment. 1t will be % by II feet inside
space, two stories in height and erected
on ground adjoining the bank, which
ground is now occupied by a millinery
establishment. It must be ready by No
vember l and the work upon it will be
rushed. The point in favor of this loca-
ton is that it is central, being just in the
middle of the mailing district. Such was
the decision of the government inspect
ors, who recently paid Stoughton visit.
AS nearly as can be ascertained the in
corporate limits extend nine blocks east
and nine blocks west from the Slough
ton State bank. Many years ago the
postoffice was located few doors east of
the bank building. 1t is said that the
inspectors took into consideration the
advantage of having abundant space and
light, which they claimed were lacking
in the present quarters. The new struc-
ture will be brick.

Public Taste Undergoes a Change.

The Monona Lake Assembly, which
closed Saturday the 25th encampment,
scored smaller attendance this year
than last, but the management think
they played about even. The program
cost 55OOO of which $4,000 was paid to
Creatore, whose band was indeed the
drawing card. In reviewing the season
Secretary Mosley says:
"The public taste has undergone a
striking change in late years in the quail
ity of the programs offered at Chautau-
quas. In former years lectures were the
common attractions. Today entertain
ment in lighter vein is necessary to win
a profta BILE patronage. Men like Sam
Jones and Tillman, who can amuse as
we'll as give their audiences the weight
of their convictions, are drawn upon to
satisfy the changed public taste. At
fractions of vaudeville nature appeal
to the people of today, and to these as
sembly managers must turn to please
the masses upon whom they depend for
support"
but there are better reasons than
that" said one who had been a camper
for years aside from the band their
attractions were not the kind that at
tracted. Their lectures we're not big
enough or they had subjects that few
people cared much about. l never saw
such small attendance at the lectures be-
fore. They must get men of big stand
ing and who talk with authority on their
subjects. You see there are so many
glib lecturers whose tales are nothing
but lot of funny stories strung togeth-
err. While they are entertaining enough
to listen to, you bring away nothing at
ter hearing them. They are not people
with a message and do not draw after a
while. Then too they raised the prices
this year the last three days and it is be-
coming expensive to camp over there it
you don't take any supplies along and
have to rent everything
