To be on a Large Scale.

A floating news item Is to the effect
that next year sugar beets are to be
raised near Prairie du,Chien by stock
company, composed of nineteen mem
bers, who subscribed $500 each or a total
of 50, 500 to carry ont the project on q
large scale. Since 1t has been demon.

money makers even when all labor is
hired and the acreage is leased, the idea
of organizing this company was develop

eight separee fields averaging forty

that the sugar beet industry will de
velop rapidly among the farmers from

A POLITICAL COMMUNICATION.

EDITOR CENSOR: You ask the ques-
tion, shall we call it humor or serious
ness-the appeal of DR.. Schreiner in
another columnI"
BY all means call it seriousness, Mr..
Editor Without word of disparage-
ment concerning the republican candi-
date, feel we have in the democratic
candidate for assembly gentleman of
highest and broadcast culture, a gentle
man who has been for quarter century
a close and deep student of our state and
national political questions and one who
is able to make his influence telt for
good IL elected to the assembly. DR.
Schreiner is one of the brainy men of
western Wisconsin Educated in the
university of Christiana he came here a
quarter century ago aud, though part
German, became the Norwegian" doc
tor of Vernon county. He has worked
hard ever since and is now one of the
hardest worked men In the county. DR.
Schreiner has all along dwelt in har-
mony with his brother doctors The
doctor is known in a thousand homes in
the county. There will be young men
voting for him at whose birth he was
present to introduce them into this cold
WOIIls uc uhb DbaubAl III
home His wife is cultured and
queenly woman whose gentle ipfluence
has done much for the good socially and
morally of her village. A few weeks
ago the Coon Prairie Temperance asso-
citation celebrated its twentieth ami
versary in the doctors beautiful lawn
and the president of the society, Mrs.
Schreiner, read history of the sssocia-
tion to an audience of six hundred peo-
pie.
Schreiner will be all right and If
elected will sta-ad high among the as.
semblymen of Wisconsin and be cred
it to his constituency. The lobby can
not buy him, and bad society will not
corrupt him / would like to vote for
him but expect to be !. 400 miles away

DIR. Schreiner and Mayor Murphy Of
Platteville, are elected, the latter 10
congress in place of Mr.. Babcock who
allowed such an infamous circular to be
sent over his district as that one headed
Tobacco Growers Attention, I'll shout
GLORY to God" until the old mountains
echo back the sound to me IL is toe
bad that Babcock should get to con
gress on such falsehood as that circu
lar contained | suppose thousand
voters in his district really and truly
believe that he was, in Gods owI
hands, the only instrument that raised
the price of tobacco from ten cents las
year to fifteen cents this year. Tha
circular said this is what CongressmaE
Babcock did for you, and they belieYe(
the falsehood and voted for their sup

The Kind Of Town Sought For.

You can't fix up town too much for
its own good. Tfa more you improve it
the more people are going to want to
come there to engage in business or to
live" The man who made the fore
going statement spoke the truth in
mighty chunks When stranger Wis
its town, whether he contempistes a
change Of residence or not, he always
nses his eyes If he sees the streets in
good condition, fine residences, good
business houses, nice trees and well-sept
lawns he naturally concludes that bust
ness conditions in the town are good,
and that citizens are prosperous and
enterprising If he is looking for To-
cation he will want to move into that
town, and if he is not he will mention
the place to some of his friends who
are and will speak a good work for it.
1t takes but little extra work to keep
up the town ard that little work is a
powerful factor in building up city. =

WHAT TO EXPECT THIS MONTH.
October Will be Rough and ChangeabIe-
Storms Cold.

Rev. Hicks predicts that the first
storm in October will be in progress at
the opening of the month, and will reach
its elimination about the 2. The regular
storm period chartered from the TO Z,
will take up the disturbances and re-
new and prolong them during the first
week of the month Taking the country
as a whole, every variety OF storms from
tropical and tornado southwark, to
boreal with early sleet and snow in the
extreme north and northwest are
among the probabilities at this time.
Very disagreeable storms may be ex-
pected at this and following periods.
Look for high barometer, northwesterly
gales and change to unseasonably cold.
The boreal wave will be on in the north
west as early as the and s. This cool
wave will spread to most parts of the
country with frost northward.
A reactionary storm period Is central
on the 10, II and 12. Look for a re-
turn of storm conditions rising tenn.
perature and autumn rains and gales.
chis period will bying extremes cf tenn
perature, with storms all the way from
vicious lightning and thunder to sud
den changes into almost winter storms
and temperature.
A regular storm period covers the 16
TO 20, having new moon at its center on
the H. Iu all probability this will
prove one Of the worst periods of this
month, if not the whole autumn Tropi-
Cal storms with high temperature and
lightning will be natural on and about
the IS. As these conditions pass east
wardly, many sections will be visited
with high and violent gales, followed
with snow and marked change TO cooler
over the northern sections Frost will
work into central to southern sections
from the Is to %.
A reactionary storm period will oc.
cur about the 90 to %, at which time
change to warmer, with cloudiness and
more autumn rains may be expected
The last storm for the month will oc-
cur the last five days Change to
warmer will appear in the west, storm
areas will develope in the same regions
and during the 2S TO 81 wide stretches
of rain and snow will pass across the
country The culmination of this per.
iod will center on the 81, ON or about
which date cold wave, with decided
daspes of autumnal snow and gales will
be well on their sweep from the north.
