Postmaster L. G. Whittet and his
assistant, Lawrence Hutson, went to La
Crosse Monday to give testimony for the

While returning from Sun Prairie to
Madison Thursday night Harry B. Cor
man of Madison was seriously injured
by running into an automobile trap. 1t
consisted of wire suspended across the
road between two telephone poles, high
enough to catch the occupants. 1t is
believed to have been set by malicious
farmers, who dislike to have machines
travelling on their roads.
Tons of cigarette paper have been
dumped into the state recently through
the mails. Two large sacks were receiv-
ed at the Edgerton postoffice, being ad-
dressed to nearly every male person
whose name appears in the directory.
The packages, it is alleged, were sent out
from the eastern headquarters of the
trust with the purpose Of giving resi-
dents of this state an opportunity to cir
cumyent the anti-cigarette law, which
prevents the sale of cigarette paper as
we'll as the made cigarette.
For shape that is peculiar and flavor
rich Andrew Erickson has variety of
tomato that ought to capture the prize
at any fruit and vegetable show. Sam
Piles of this variety have been on exhibit
ton at his place of business and many
orders for seed have been placed for flu
ture delivery. The tomatoes are grown
on Mr. Ericksons Hillside farm and the
entire crop this year will be harvested
for seed purposes only. Those interest
ed in tomato culture should call and
take look at this new kind.

Nine prominent business men of
Edgerton were subpoenaed to testify as
Ford.-Recorder The Recorder is par
ticularly discriminative in determining
the class of society to which the wit
nesses are shining lights. The Recorder
must have judged the witnesses accord
ing to the GAINESVILLE standard of promi-
nent business men and under those cir
cumstances Edgerton cannot complain,
as we were always of the impression that
the Edgerton White Light Club com.
pared favorably with Janesville's organ
ization that bears that name.
