Under the iBfiaencs of higher ideals

Hicks Names Dates for Severe Weather
in May.

In his weather report for May Rev.
Hicks says that sections having little OF
rain or storm, with tendency TO excess
of warmth or GOODNESS, may look for
prolonged tendency to such conditions.
A regular storm period on the 8,
covers the 9 to 10. By the s low baro-
meter and much warmer will be al
vancing from the west, attended by
very decided storms. TO II series
Of storms will sweep most parts Of the
country. Rapid change to high baro-
meters, westerly gales and much cooler
will follow this series of storms, and
frosts will visit many central and north
ern sections from the 10 to H. Indi-
cations point toward violent and dam
gerous storms about the IA, l5 and 16.
A regular storm period runs from the
10 to 80. This promises to be the most
active and effective to violent period in
May. The moon is on the equator on
the 10 and q new on the %. These
things combined indicate that low baro-
meter, very warm, humid atmosphere
and electrical storms of marked severity
will prevail et the fret and continue to
the end OF this period. All through the
central part Of May there is great
tendency at the storm periods TO daily
cyclones of storms for number Of days
in succession, breaking up as a rule in
general and very violent storm. The
whole of this period is threatening, but
we will name the 81, % and % as the
rnoet seyera days. Clear and much
cooler weather will occur about the "a
and 90
The reaclionary storm period is cen
tral on the 26. 27 and %, with strong
probabilities that the combined Mars
and Mercury influences will cause pro-
longed threatening. if not stormy wealth
or into this period. The general charac-
ter of these storms during this period
win determine the kind of storms to be
expected to the end OF tho month. A
decided change TO cooler will spread

With the buoysnt heart of a child,
and the beautiful faith of saint loving
the brightness and the beauty of life,
and trusting in the love that doeth all
things well, Mrs. Dora Hendriekson
walked in the paths that Gods finger
marked out for her even 10 the verge Of
the great beyond without rebellion or
complaint With unsandied feet she
walked along the shadowed ways that
lead to motherhood, clasping with the
faith that was born of love the hand
that was guiding and leading her With
the longing of the mother heart and
during The preparation of those fluffy
bits of wearing apparel in which every
stitch IS prayer and JOY she was sus-
tanned by the mighty arm Of God. She
was not only patient but joyous in the
companionship of the devoted husband
and parents. Then came the day Of
suffering and weakness, The flower
TINT God gave was sepulchred in a
beautiful casket clothed in the tiny
dress made for life and not for

the childless mother was to abide in the
earthly home, but God had prepared
another home for her and to it, escorted
by angel hosts he took her. The death
summons came on Friday morning at

Dorothy A, only daughter of VIM

She thhn taught school for two years
On JEne IS, 1901, she was united in

who with the parents, two broth srs,

down with unspeakable grief. Mrs. Hen.

TOBACCO ACREAGE WILL BE LARGE
But Will Probably Be Confined to Pre-
sent Shed Capacity.

The Edgerton Reporter says the pro-
spective acreage of the coming tobacco
crop seems very likely to be confined to
the shed capacity growers already pos
ess in the older growing sections of the
state. This might not be true if it were
not for the high price of building
material which each year rises higher
in the scale and will continually prove q
serious obstacle in the way of increasing
tobacco acreage in all the cigar leaf
states. And the construction of the
curing sheds is generally made of the
cheaper class of soft lumber, bu. even
these grades have gone up steadily 100
per cent in the past few years, until
this item is now to be reck ned with
when increased curing capacity is con-
sidered OF course there are q great
many unused sheds in some Of the older
growing counties which may again be
utilized in extending the acreage devot-
cd 20 tobacco. Growers. too. will re-
pair their old curing houses and put
them in shape for the coming crop and
doubtless plant all the aeerage their
sheds will accommodate, but few are
disposed to build new curing houses
even under the encouraging prospects
of extra large profits the coming few
years. In some of the newer growing
sections in the northern portion of the
state. where building material is nearer
the source of supply, considerable new
shed room may be constructsj init the
fact remains that the acreage will not
he increased so largely as the conditions
~=cald warrant were building material
not 30 expensive There WAS time
when the curing sheds ia Wisclnain held
over 40, 600 acres Of tobacco lloW many
of them are yet in existence. or how
many have since been added ia rather
ditficnlt to say.

AS home town Viroqua can not be

her people are progressive in all things,

that has not been as thoroughly attend

inc Of trees. To make an artistic town
the uniforms planting of shade trees, by
citizens and public authorities, is essen
tial. This is the time to do so. The city
council should take the initiative in the
matter by placing trees in front of every
piece of public property, and it should
go farther and insist on private proper
ty owners doing the same.

IowA's New Strone Road Law.

The Iowa Legislature has passed a
law which provides that road taxes
with the exception Of the poll tax which
may be worked ont, shall be paid TO
the county treasurer in money. 1t also
provides that each township shall be a
road district and the appointment Of
one or more road superintendent lit is
usually one:-who has control of all
work done within his township This
law is the same in effect as the one
adopted by voters Of the town Of Kosh-
konong a few years ago. While it con.
tinued in force more and better work
was done on the roads for the expense
involved than ever before
Every one who travelled the roads
could see the great advantage but the
voters voted it down and we went back
to the no road system, Such law as
Iowa has, should be enacted in this
state Then there would be something
done for the roads in a sensible, practi-
cable way. There is no more reason
why the tax payers should wo-s ont
the road tax than any other tax. We
firmly believe that the farmers are
standing in the light of their best in
terest where they oppose the payment
Of road tax in cash and the expending
Of the same in q truly practicable way.

making was done away with
