SELF OPERATING FEED BOX.

There are experienced poultrymen who
believe that the best results in feeding
poultry comes from having grain before
the birds at all times and permitting them
to help themselves. OF course if his is
done some plan must be contrived where
by the grain could be mixed for it would
not do to set one kind of grain before the
birds for them to eat as they would. 1t

II has been a custom in u lit
tie burg every year, on the 2Sth
day of September, to hold a cele-
bration on the day of St. Wenees-
laus. the patron of Bohemia.
Doubtless there are many of our
English speaking friends who are
not acquainted with the history OF
Bohemia and the origin OF this
celebration. St. Wenccslaus was
the ruler. of Bohemia in the ninth
and a part of the 10th century and
through his yirtuous life and bene-
violence to the poor was, slain by
his brother Boleslav who through
motives of jealousy seeked the
throne held by his senior brother
Wenccslaus. Thus this noble
prince died a martyr. Because of
this the Catholic element OF Bohe
mia yearly gays tribute in COM
memoration of this their great
saint. original Y, the celebration
was purely religious; the people
partaking in divine services in the
many Catholic churches, and re-
ligious wakes to sacred places,
which habit is praised up to the
present time. Ii is a tradition in
herited from forefathers and con-
veyed upon younger generations
Here in Tabor, like in many
other congrega atoms OF America
of the Catholic denomination in
which the church is named alter
this saint, this day is observed by
the Pensioners from a Two fold
motive; primarily because this
saint is the patron OF their native
land and secondly of their congre

WOLVES ARE
KILLING DEER

Unless some action is taken by the
state legislature this winter deer
hunting in Northern Wisconsin will
soon be thing of the past. This is

timber cruisers that come down from
the north. Owing to the work of
thousands of wolves that are roam
ing the woods, in ever increasing
number. hundreds of deer have been
Killed by these animals Hunters in
That part of the state favor an IN
crease in the wolf bounty so that a
man trapping the animals will receive
at least $4,000 per head for his work.
At the present time wolves skins are
worth about $500 hut the bounty
seems too small To stop the increase
Of the animal.
The timber wolf of Northern
wisconsin and Northern Michigan is
a large ferociouS animal. 1t has
great power of endurance which makes
it an easy matter TO capture the

doubling OF the bounty, II is probable

The graphite manipulation of the
Cooley EmmonS Combination had
few connption fits this week because
OF certain editorial i'm the REPORTER
last Friday relative to the u. S.
Senator situation. Fhe poor demented
creature who has neither a political
or moral home is using every effort
known to diSreputable journalism to
bring himself into public notice and
we crafty his vanity to the extent Of
noticing his splenetic outburst. but
briefly: First, if the editorial referred
to was in the least inspired it was
inspired by healthy public opinion
and expressed the views of a large
majority of Gov. La Folette'S friends
friends who were bending every
energy they possessed to secure the
election Of the governor at a time
when this character wrecker was do
ing all he could to defeat him: friends
who are still loyal to him and will
remain loyal as long as the governor
is true To his pledges to the people:
friends who look upon the governor
as among the greatest statesmen of
our nation: friends who would rejoice
TO see the governor elevated to the
high position of United States
Senator; but friends who do not want
to see him invite and court certain
political death by unwise haste in his
efforts TO reach the coveted goal;
friends who would save the governor
from the advice of such political
ghOulS as the author of the article in
answer to the REPORTERS editorial.
Gov. La Toilette is all right and the
REPORTER stands by all the good it
has said of him and stands ready to
defend him against his psuedo friends
who few brief weeks ago could not
find language expressive enough to
denOunce him to their satisfaction.
and who, even now, would rejoice if
they could by any means accomplish
his political downfall.

VETERANS WELL BEHAVED.

'The conduct of the great body of the
80, 900 old soldiers who are inmates of
the national soldiers homes is excel

president of the board of managers of
those institutions, at the Arlington, ac-
cording to the Washington Post.
only about three per cent. of the vet
Grams give us any trouble, and these are
not nearly SO annoying as the well mean
ing, misguided contingent Of outside
cranks and temperance fanatics who are
continually trying to tell the president
and congress how the homes ought to be
run. For instance, this outside band of
philanthropists would abolish the can
teens established in the homes, despite
the fact that experience has proved their
great usefulness These canteens, or
beer halls-since nothing but beer is sold
in them-make directly for the good of
the inmates and are in the interest Of
sobriety and decent conduct The
amount of beer sold to the individual is
strictly limited, and no one who is in
toxlcated is allowed to enter the beer
hall, HOI Cdu uTIuhS D0 ODtdlueu alter
five o'clock D. m.
''The evils of intoXication on the part
of veteran inmates came from patroniz-
ing drinking resorts in the vicinity of the
grounds, where the old soldiers can buy
cheap whisky, and where they are often
drugged and robbed The abolition of
the canteen would simply increase the
patronage of these resorts Instead of
reducing temperance. such policy
would promote it and would make drunk
ards out of many now leading respect
able lives"
