Experiments in Sugar Beet Culture.

About 5000 pounds of Sugar Beet
seeds have been distributed in the
vicinity of Prairie du Chen this
spring, all of which have been plant
ed, though the weather conditions
have not been the best for the
termination of the seed it is ex-
pected that they will make rapid
pre- gross from this time on. The
culture of the sugar beet will be
watched with considerable interest
for upon the success of raising beets
rests the question as to whether we
got factory in this vicinity.
Enough seed has been planted,
about 200 acres which will or ought
to give the farmers of Crawford
county a comprehensive idea as to
the value of the crop and whether
they can be grown successfully.
This year the acreage put in by
each is small as the farmers desire
to experiment before contracting
for many acres.

An exchange asks: "What has
become Of the boy in patches"
Why, bless your soul, he is on the
farm hopping clods sixteen hours a
day. He will come to town after a
while to run the banks and the
stores and be the successful lawyers
and preachers and physicians. Don't
worry about the boy in the patches.

The Catholic Citizen of Mil
waukee celebrated the 35th ami
versary of it's founding Friday last
by issuing splendid souvenir edi-
ton of twenty-four pages, with an
illustrated cover, showing Progress
drawn by her winged horses through
the air. The number contains ex-
cellent portraits of leading city
officials, county officers and judges
and federal officers of the city, as
well as illustrations of prominent
men in various walks of business,
and of former editors aud pro-
prietors of the paper. A special
feature is the number of letters re-
ceived from bishops, priests and
laymen, congratulating the Catholic
Citizen upon it's work and achieve
ments during the thirty-five years
of it's existence. Among them are
letters from Cardinal Gibbons, the
archbishop of Dubuque, the arch
bishop of San Francisco and many
others. The issue is replete with
interesting matter.

PLEAD GUILTY.
Menzemer and Cohen, Cassville Burg.
lars, Get Is Months at Waupun.

Weary of the thoughts of passing
the summer months in county Jail,
awaiting trial at the October term
of circuit court on charge Of burg
larizing the stores of Kleinpell Bros.
and Kind, Geiger & Co. on the
night of May 10th last, Glenn
Menzemer and Adolph Cohen, the
two young men charged with hav-
1 ing committed the crime, made ap-
plication through their attorneys,
Brown & Brennan last week for the
privilege of going before the court
and pleading guilty to the charge
as alleged in the complaint.
Dist. Atty. Kopp acquiesced pro-
viding the penalty prescribed be
not less than Is months at Waupun,
and it was agreeable to all parties
concerned that this should be their
medicine" Judge Clementson was
willing to attend to the case, being
present in the city, and in the
library room of the court house in
presence of the judge, Atty. Bren-
nan, Atty. Lowry who appeared
for the district attorney, Clerk Hast
ings, Sheriff Glenn, Under Sheriff
Calls and a Herald representative,
the prisoners we're brought in
Saturday.
Clerk of Court Hastings read the
information that had been filed
against the accused, whereupon the
judge inquired Of them if they de-
sired to plead at this time. Both
answered in the affirmative. The
question was put to them as
to their guilt and both answered
guilty"
Judge Clementson then followed
the usual procedure customary,
that of inquiry why sentence should
not then be pronounced upon them,
and responding readily that there
was none the court proceeded to
render the penalty. The sentence
is Is months at hard labor at Wau-
pun with one day in solitary con-
finement.
The judge inquired into their past
lives through interrogations and
apparently formed the opinion that
this was the first criminal offense
the prisoners had committed-at
least he had reasons so to believe.
He gave the young men some
good fatherly advice as to future
conduct and closed his remarks
with the hope that the lesson re-
ceived would lead them to follow
more honorable lives.

Does it Really Payp

Many local merchants go upon
the assumption that there is NO
money in the country during the
summer months and consequently
do not advertise. They are satisfied
to receive the little that comes their
way, hoping to make good after the
crops are harvested. The catalogue
houses, however, are never caught
mapping. While the retail merchant
is resting on his oars the city deal
ers are buster than ever, flooding
the country with their advertising
matter and preparing in advance
for fall orders. And they secure in
these summer months considerab BILE
that should have gone to the home
merchant, and would have gone
there had the latter been as diligent
as the catalogue dealer. Does it pay
the mail order house? One Chicago
concern last year did a business of
thirty millions of dollars and did it
on advertising alone. If the home
merchant would follow the same
course he would have good part,
if not the whole, of this trade.
When freight and express charges
have been added to the cost
of an article purchased at distance
the local merchant can ninety nine
times out of a hundred undersell the
outsider on the same quality of
goods. He also has the advantage
of beng on the ground and know
ing The wants Of the people; of hav-
ing a personal acquaintance with
them; and further, he has access
to the advertising space OF the home
papers which is denied these large
houses. These great concerns reach
the local customers through adj
vertising and the merchant must
employ the same tactics if he pro-
poses to hold the trade. The buyer
also owes duty to the local mer
chant. He should remember that
the prosperity of any community
depends upon the success of
the home concerns; that it is
better to keep dollar in circula
ton at home than to send it away
to help build up great corporations,
that the interests of the buyers and
home dealers are closely allied and
that the home merchant has a
greater interest in supplying him
reliable goods than the mail order
house, whose chief interest in life is
to grow at the expense of thousands
of smaller concerns. In building up
your community and your home
town nothing counts like little re-
ciprOcity in business.

Sitting Up With Johnnie.

An exchange says a man in a
western town whose small son was
sick wrote the following note to a
merchant of the same place.
Dear Jim:-When you come out
of the store tonight I would like to
have you come over and sit up with
Johnny. He is worse and we are
all worn out. Yours, John"
On the back of the letter the
merchant replied as follows:
Dear John:-Have your cata-

your last bill of goods out of it, not
out of my store. Yours truly, JIM"

COMMENCEMENT WEEK.
Program for the Last Week of the
The School Year.

commencement, will be taken up
with preparations for Fridays exer-
cises. The final examinations have
been held and everything is in
readiness for the close of school.
The Juniors are in charge of the
decoration of the hall for COM
mencement and are also busy ar
ranging for the annual reception
given by their class to the grad
uating class. The Seniors have
sent out all their invitations for
commencement and the invitations
TO the Junior reception are also out.
The musical part of the program
has been arranged for and will be
furnished by the High School CHOIR
us and the Burkhardt orchestra.
The orchestra will also play for the
reception.
The weeks program started Sun
day night with the baccalaureate
sermon which was preached by Rev.
Morgans at the Methodist church,.
Rev. Morgans was assisted in the
service by Rev. Sprague and Rev.
Ralph. The sermon was an especi-
ally good one and was enjoyed by
all. Rev. Morgans unconsciously
built part of his sermon upon the
class motto, 1--WE finish but to be-
gin," and dwelt upon the truth Of
this motto. He spoke also of the
responsibilities of the class who are
soon to graduate, saying that their
responsibility does not end with
graduation but that they are still
responsible to the school through
out their lives. The music for the
service was also very good being
furnished in part by union choir
and in part by the Congregational
choir which furnished several very
well rendered special selections.
The only regret that the class had
was that the whole class did not at
tend. One member of the class was
unable to attend on account of liv-
Jig too far from town but about
five others who did not come had
no such reason. Soreness at other
members of the class over some
squabbles in class meetings which
should had nothing to do with their
attendance at a class affair was
their reason for not attending. They
certainly missed very fine sermon
and hurt none but themselves.
The commencement exercises will
be held Friday morning at ten
o'clock in Reeds opera house. The
program will consist of music and
orations by nine members of the
class, the rest having been excused
from speaking. In the evening the
Junior reception will be held. The
high school baseball team will have
it's last game in the afternoon with
Bloomington and a good game is
assured. The high school annual,
the "Storm Center will be put on
sale Friday morning. All who have
ordered copies can get them from
Paul Howell just before or after the
commencement exercises.

Special to The Herald.
NEW YORK, July Magistrate
Barlow has put It squarely up to the
board Of health to place ragtime on
the list with diphtheria and other
plaques, and act accordingly. He lent
judicial ear in West Side court the
other day to the plaint of Charles E.
Butter Butter said that six hours
of ragtime issuing every night from a
cafe adjoining his home in the Knlck-
erbocker apartments, Broadway and
Ninety-seventh street, has bred in
somnia germs, with which he is now
nearly distracted.
Butter volunteered to put up with
THE Darkeys Barbecue" "In the
Shade of the Old Apple Tree" and
other syncopated hotshot as late as II
p. m. All that he asked was leave to
go to bed at that time without being
Knocked by please Go Way and Let
Me Sleep" or the Creole Lullaby"
There's constant succession of
popular tunes until midnight" Butter
told the court. mo one in the apart
ment can sleep. This ragtime music
will squeeze through crack that
would choke a mosquito. Even during
the warm weather tried closing the
windows until the bedroom was like a
Turkish bath. 1t wasn't any use. In
came the ragtime. until now can't
stand it any longer.
"It has got so that when I try to
sleep ragtime rings in my ears. 1t
wouldn't surprise me to get up some
morning now after a sleepless night
and try to express syncopated ideas in
scrambled words. I've got ragtime-
osis in the tertiary stage, and some-
thing must be done to save me-"
Butter said he was first attacked
last fall and he reported his case to
the board of health. They sent an in
spector three times to get samples of
the ragtime, but by the time the
germs had been Isolated and passed
upon it was too late in the season 10
make a complaint. Butter summoned
Detective Sergeant Monahan to expose
himself to the ragtime before bring
ing the case into court. Monahan SYM
pathized with Butter, but said he was
powerless to act.
Magistrate Barlow told Butter to
take his case to the board of health.
G. Stillebauer, proprietor of the cafe,
was in court, but did not give his side
of the story in view of the magistrate
ruling. Butter will plead with the
health board for prompt relief
