The strawberry crop which is well
advanced in this section. never looked
better or gave better promise, not for
an unusually large yield but rather for
a large healthy berry. The vines are
full OF color, have spread we'll and are
laden with blossoms. Owing to the
great damage by frost to the berry crop
In Illinois and Iowa early in May, good
prices are looked for by Wisconsin
raisers, whose vines were not far
enough along to be injured.

We are not given to boasting
but we are proud of the farmer
boys of this vicinity. They are,
with rare exceptions, a healthy,
intelligent and happy class of
young men. We feel like taking
our hat clear off when we meet
them upon our streets, and no
class is more welcomed to our
office. Too many boys leave the
farm where they would have
made substantial and good
citizens, and 60 to the city where
only one in a thousand succeed in
life's battle. There are farmers
who fairly drive their boys away.
There is no excuse for this. The
farmer boy is entitled to his
vacation, to several relaxations,
his visits to the city, good books,
magazines and his home paper.
10 the observing one it is plain
to be seen that the old farm is
the best place in the world for
the average young man and
never fails to bring happier
and more useful life than the city.
Young men, you who till the soil
and earn your bread by the
sweat of your brow, we are
proud of you; our latchstring is
always out to you and you will
always have a friend in this
paper. Come and see us and
give us the news from your
neighborhood.

FOR DISTRICT ATTORNEY
OF Wood County, Wisconsin.
Ross e. Andrews. of Marsh.
field.

Ross E. Andrews, candidate for
District Attorney on the Republican
ticket, is a lawyer of we'll known
ability who has practiced law in
MarShtield for the past six years. A
few months after locating in the city
he was elected Municipal Judge and
served in such capacity during the
years 1901, 1902 and part Of another
term in 1904. If elected to the Office
of District Attorney he is certain to
serve Wood County with marked
ability and faithfulness.
Mr.. Andrews was born on a farm at
Mukwonago, Waukesha County, Wis,
thirty-eight years ago, and remained
there attending the district school
and working on farm until his
eighteenth year. when he entered the
Whitewater Normal school. He COM
pleted the course at that institution
in the spring of 1895. In the fall of
the same year he entered the State
University of Wisconsin, taking the
English course. This he completed
and took his degree of Bachelor OF
Letters in June, 1897. He then
entered the law college of the state
university and in June, 1900, COM
pleted his course in law.
These years were not free from
hardship and privation, for he de-
termlned to be under no obligations
to anyone in obtaining and education.
He did lanitor work, sawed wood and
acted as waiter in a restaurant while
at school and during vacation wrote
life insurance for the Northwestern
Mutual Of Milwaukee. He held con-
tracts with that company for a period
of six years. In this way he paid
every dollar of the cost Of his educa-
tion, coming to his professional work.
as be says himself, stronger mentally
and physically for the reason Of
having to work during his college
days.
Mr.. Andrews is a man of the
stricteSt honesty and integrity, a
student of political affairs and one
who has the respect and confidence of
the people. Considering his quail
tications and the length of time he
has been practicing in Wood County
it would seem that he is the most
logical candidate for the office Of
District Attorney.-Marshfield News.

FIoridians Should Cooperate.

Why can't Florida organize and
procure foreign white labor as well
as Georgians? The Georgia papers
say that extensive plans have been
begun for securing sufficient immi-
grant labor for me manufacturing
concerns and planters of that state,
who are seriously affected by the
scarcity of employees.
The initial movement has been be-
gun by the Savannah board of trade
and the chambers of commerce OF
that city, who, under the discretion
of a state immigration commissioner,
have sent an immigration agent to
Scotland and other countries of Eu-
rope to find the necessary class Of
employees.
Other agents will be sent out in
the near future, and Germans, Scan
danavians and Norwegians. will be
brought TO Georgia as rapidly as pos
sible.
The will come directly to Charles
ton and Savannah from the different
countries and will not pass through
New York, as has been previously the
custom.
There is a great demand among
the sawmill men and planters of
Georgia and Florida for labor of this
class, and the former have appointed
committee to confer with the immi-
grafton promoters.
Start a similar movement in Flor
ida. or cooperate with the Georgians,
and stop this eternal cry about lack
of labor to do anything in lines of
industry. Jacksonville Metropolis.

Not Alarmed a Bit.

Editor Frank Harris, of the Ocala
Banner, now pleads that Governor
Broward's Everglades drainage
scheme to be practical test, espec-
tally as Marion county will have no
tax to pay for it. Please examine that
proposed amendment and see if ii
will not permit the drainage board to
establish drainage district in Mar
ion county and apply the taxes de,
rived therefrom to draining the Ev'
erglades. If. in actual application OF
the project, the taxes derived from
this southern district should prove
insufficient for the purpose, there is
nothing in the amendment to prevent
the drainage board from laying out
districts in other parts of the state
and using the taxes from them tc
push along the work in the Ever
glades.-Punta Gorda Herald.

4The Wine of the Lords supper"

Some weeks ago we printed an ex-
tract from an article by Prof. F. B,
Noodle, of Lake City, under the above
title, which was reply to an ar.

weeks before and we are requested to

The following is the gist of Mr.
gist of Mr.. Turnley's reply" eve
haven't space for the whole article J
He says that the germ of ferment is
in the air and that no chemical
change can take place in the grape
until it is exposed to the air: the
fact is that fermentation does not
take place until after the juice of the
grape has been exposed to the fer
ment in the air. Alcohol is the pro
duct of fermentation and distillatior
and not one of the component parts
OF natures juices. In other words
fermented wine is universally known
to be alcoholic and unfermente6
wine, non-alcoholic.

nection with the adjective new

FLoRIDAs CATTLE RANGES.
Room in This State for 100000 Head
Cattle.

OF the nearly 35,000,000 acres of
land service in Florida, about 4,100,-
OvU acres are included in farms, Inn
proved and unimproved, thus leaving
over 30,OU0,0U0 acres available as
grazing lands for cattle and sheep.
1t is not to be inferred from this
that no cattle or sheep are raised in
Florida, but in reality there were on
the ranges last year, in round mum
bers, about 100000 cattle. What we
want to show is that there is abun-
dant room for 100000 head in place
of the comparatively small number
noted above. 1t is for the purpose of
demonstrating to the thousands of
people who are interested in stock
raising outside of Florida that we
make these statements to prov to
them that it is not necessary to go
to the bleak northwest or to the far
southwest in order to make stock
raising successful and highly prof.
table industry. Having the vast area
above stated, unsurpassed in extent
and suitability for the raising of live
stock of every kind, it would seem un.
accountaDle that this industry should
SO long remain in comparatively
chaotic or passive condition. A rea'
sonable solution of the trouble would
seem to be two-fold: First, ignorance
of the true situation on the part OF
those people in other states interest
ed in such matters mainly bacauae the
real conditions have never been plac
ed before them in a proper and at
tractive form, Second, because OF
a certain sort of prejudice that ex
lists in the minds of many persons tt
the effect that the growing of stocl
cannot succeed in what they arc
pleased, though enormously, to cal
a hot climate, scouraged with in
sect pests of every kind fatal to ami
NAL life. In the first instance, peo
pie cannot know the real truth simpl.
by intuition, and in the second there
is absolutely no foundation for sucl
belief The truth is, the climate o
Florida is an ideal one for stock rails
ing. In southern Florida is found th'
greatest grazing region east of thu
Mississippi; the climate is perfect
never cold enough to kill the grasses
which grow as green in January as il
June, and where good water is il
bountiful supply at all seasons of TIL
year; even the longest drouth know
has failed to prouuce scarcity o
water; it is never hot enough to in
jure stock. and insect pests are onl
trouolesome during parts of tn
months of May and June. after whicl
time they disappear.-Kissimmee Va

PASTED HIS OWN BILLS.

The Nest Memorable Engagement
Edwin Bo0th Ever Played.
Edwin Booth once told a little com.
pany Of his int1mates that the most 70
mantle, memorable and delightful n
gagement that he ver played in his
life was one in which he was obliged to
paste his own bills.
1t was In the early years Of his ca
reer, long before his famous hundred
nights run Of "Hamlet" at the Winter
Garden in New York, and at a time
when romance and enthusiasm were
still young In his heart. He had played
with varying success in many parts Of
tho country, journeying ever to San
Francisco and the few camps in the
gold bearing country that were large
enough to supply him with audiences.
Here he had done 80 well that he felt
encouraged to try his fortune in still
remoter climes and accordingly en-
barked from the Golden Gate for tho
Hawaiian Islands, where, In the Homo
lulu theater and under the direct pat
ronage Of the dark brown royalty that
then held sway, he played an engage
ment to which he looked back In after
years with much pleasure and salts
faction.
But after the play was over" said
Booth, II found It necessary to climb
down from the high plane of art to
common ground and take steps to an
nounce my repertory to the public.
This was done almost entirely by way
Of posters. and I could not trust the
Job to the native boys, because they al.
ways ate the paste and threw away
the bills. Ny actors would not do It,
because they were such eminent artists
and thoroughbred gentlemen. 30 I had
to do it myself. Many a time have I
taken of the costume Of Iago or Ham
let or Othello and gone out with 6
bucket Of paste and a roll of paper to
bill the town. as we say here in Amer
