Everyth,ne Ju.t a Humnin,

Weather conditions have been more
favorable for a month pasl and no per-
son has ever witnessed more rapid de
vel0pment than has been attained by all
kinds of growing crops. Things have
come along so fast that farmers are
swamped with work of various kinds
Hay harvest, corn blowing, tobacco
cultivation, rye, barley ana wheat har
vest, etc. Things generally augur well
for bounteous crops except in oats, and
in this there is apprehension because of
rust. The last of tobacco setting did
not come till the latter portion of last
week. The early set plants have made
wonderful progress, and IN fact some
portions of fields have advanced to such
a stage that it is not safe to work with
a cultivator. With reasonably late
growing weather the prospects are am
pie fer a good tobacco CROP.
The Edgerton Reportee has this to
say concerning conditions aid prospects
elsewhere in the state:
1.-THE weather conditions of the week
could scarcely be more desirable for a
satisfactory growth of the tobacco
crop, which is now transplahted TO the
fields in all sections.
Very litCle has occurred in the cured
leaf market to demand attention. A
10O-case packing of '06 put up by Hen
ry Wileman has been sold TO A. Wal
lach of Chicago Mr.. N. Gillen OF
York, Pennsylvania, has picked up a
carload or so of '06 from first hands
during the week at prices below that
paid earlier for bundle goods. The
shipments out of storage do not exceed
500 cases from this market to all points
for the week past.

WHITE sox GET BACK AT W. B. us
Now Game 10 Credit of Each will
Have to "PIay for the Rubber"

The crack w. f. u. Athletes ball
team of La Crosse, wendell their way
into the confines of our beautiful little
city, last Sunday morning, imbued with
the purpose and desire to initiate the
White Sox into the many and manifold
mysteries of the ball game The heavy
rain at the noon hour put the grounds
in such shape that it was ruled not feas-
ible to attempt to play. However, as
the Athletes were unable to return to
their homes on Monday, a game was
had in the afternoon of that day.
Viroqua put forth as slab artist John
son of Lone Rock, twirler of renown
whom the boys hope to have with them
the rest of the season. Opposed to him
was Kohn, the Athletes south paw.
The former had the call over his oppo-
nent, allowing only two safe swats as
opposed to about fifteen.
Neither side scored until the fourth
frame. Weigle of the home team hit
safely and reached first. "Pete" Chase
then met the sphere squarely on the
nose and hid it under some loose hay in
the left garden. To see Fielder HERNIA
SEX work like demon in scattering
the waste fodder about to locate the
leather, furnished vast amusement to
VIC Aoaics w hNlA NhlC Odli was ak gill III
play, the Sox were credited with two
runs. In the sixth Weigle again reach
ed first on hit, second on another by
Chase and scored on Briggs timely
two-bagger. La Crosse was easily
blanked until the ninth. A bet that
they would scored then would have
been looked upon as easy money-but
score twice did they. With one man
out Mueller reached the first sack, hut
retired in favor of kircheis. The latter
stole second handily and camped on
third on an infield hit by Burke. Burke
fits down to second. Right here Swan
dribbled a punk hit towards third
Chase failed to ''eat it up in his usual
faeile manner, and not only did Kir-
chefs score but no put out was secured
at first and Burke landed at third
Swan went down to second on the first
thrown ball. Catcher Weigle erred in
trying to nail him, for Burke beat out
the return throw home. Swan kept
moving right along but was put out at
third. Riley now comes out of his SOM
noleney and gets clean two-bagger to
center field but dies on second, and it's
all over but the shouting. Score by in
nings:

tai day, July Ia, when they tried for

the game little this year, we believe
they will be able to make the White

LOVE IN A COTTAGE.

The practice is more prevalent th8a 1t ought to be of polling fun and mak- ing light of the Hove in a cottage"
 idea, a theme, it is true, which may now and then have been overdone in poem and song. While we take no stock in the idea that a newly married couple should start out in life with nothing but their marriage license, a fifty cent piece and the clothes which they may happen to have on their backs, the mistake is more often made of waiting too long for the accumula- ton of a pile sufficient to give them most or all of the comforts of folks who have labored long and have ac- quired a competence. There is no time in life when married people a.'e in a condition to enjoy life together, to work harder or undergo larger measure of self sacrifice than in the years between twenty and thirty. We fully appreciate the position of the young man who feels loath to ask the girl of his choice to put up with less comfort and convenience than she has been used to or that he would give her could he have his own way, but on the other hand he would class any young woman as unworthy of his love and devotion who was not willing to share with him the inconvenences and self denial incident to starting out in mar ried life on a modest scale. And we believe that most young women will rise to such an occasion. While there is considerable risk in the girls marry ing young man who does not seem to want to be decent and saving on his own account, we have known of many cases where just such fellows have married and turned out to be fine hus- bands and willing to work hard and save all that was possible. There is no safeguard that any ma:. can have which will serve to keep him out of dissipation and immortality more than the subduing and ennobiing influence of a wife and home of his own. It is the type of love and home life to be found In the cottages rather than the mansions of the land that has made US great as a nation. We need more and not less of Hove in a cottage"

THE COST OF INSECTS.

Figures compiled by the federal de- partment of agriculture place the total damage to the seed crops of the coun- try from the different insect pests at $7O0,00O,000. It is little wonder, in view of such figures, that great impor- tance is being attached to the work which is being done by the different state experiment stations and the United States department of agricul- ture along the line of lessening or en- tirely preventing the enormous damage mentioned. There has been no time in the history of the country when the quality and value of the service ren- dered by these agencies have been more apparent than at the present and no time have they been deserving of more generous assistance. While not all people are financially so situ- ated as to afford to wear silks, broad cloth and jewelry, there is no excuse for any person, however poor, going In dirty or shabby condition, with wa ter free as air and soap obtainable at cents cake, and yet, in spite of the simplicity of this proposition, there are altogether too many, and some of them we'll fixed, who appear to be practical ly oblivious of the merits of soap and water. They not only deny themselves ries, but are equally inconsiderate of the feelings of those who are compel led to associate with them.
