BRoDHEAD, WIS.,, Aug. 30, 1907.

Tobacco in this section is in nearly all
stages of growth. A few acres have al
ready been shielded, some has just been
topped, some approaching the topping
operation and some that may never
amount to anything. The rain of Mon
day evening was indeed very opportune
as it will do much toward broadening
the leaf and bringing to maturity the
later fields. An exchange suggests that
present indications point toward filler
rather than binder crop with good
prices, and we incline to the same idea
after consulting number of growers.
There is considerable fine tobacco here,
however, of binder quality y.-Indepen

society Reporter at Lac Pine

The regular reporter waa taking a
vacation and the editor was busy in the
office, so when it was learned that on
the previous evening there had been a
fire in remote part of the city the
young woman reporter who writes the
society news was sent to bring in a re-
port of it for the paper. She came in the
office an hour later with the following
interesting account:
t.2uite numberof people in this part
of the city attended fire last night at
the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Blank
in Thirteenth st. Some went in car
riages and buggies, but q majority
walked. The alarm was sounded about
half passed nine, and many who at
tended the fire had just returned from
church, consequently they were already
dressed for the occasion.
tfMF. Blank was not at home, being
out of the city on business, hence the
affair will be quite a surprise to him
when he returns. Mrs. Rlank wore a
light percale kimona and had her hair
done up in kid curriers'.
''Firemen responded readily and work
ed heroically to subdue the seething
flames. Most of them We're young and
fairly good-looking. They were dressed
inoilcloth coats cut short, with trousers
to match. Their hat rims were narrow
in front and broad behind, and sagged
down in the rear. The chiefs hat was
ernamente with an octagpnal brass spike
which stuck up above his head like g
horn, giving him the appearance of 6
unicorn.
''When the flames broke out through
the second story and cast lurid hue
over the surrounding buildings the view
was one never to be forgotten. At :
late hour the sightseers went home
and all felt that they had passed an eve
ing full of interest and excitement. ,

Fer the day had been far spent
Two men straight northward went
AS if on some strange mission bent;
And some folks their clothes they rent,
And lookt on in great astonishment,
For one of them was "Fessor Kent.
AS to what was this mans intent
Was clear from the cloth of the other
gent,
For he:marries people quite frequent;
This fact to the occasion intrest lent:
Sure now he's going to pitch his tent
And ease his feelings long been pent,
And now since he has his girl
''fanent",
We hope that he may neieErepent,
But grow more and more grandilo-
quent,
This sly old cunning s'Fessor Kent
We hope he'll always pay his rent,
And. if she rules the establishment,
He'll not show up beligerent,
But when the storm comes keep silent,
For then he'll sure not have to relent,
Nor will he have to circumvent
And hide around behind the tent,
Till all her fury she hath spent
A wishing he'd been obedient,
Or was far away in the Orient
And had never set foot on this CONT
nent.
Now if you would be content,
Keep sweet, keep sweet, old "Fessor
| Kent,
And your married life will bring you
| glory,
Same as you get in your labratory.

buggies and wagons would be paying industries In this section of country. For For, the ,S,a iSeation o of factories of this his have the finest hickory and oak in the world It is not brash and brittle like the oak and hickory which grows in the tn North h, and West: A-homc. made axe of the handles which are shipped here from the North and West. Buggtes and wagons made from our fine timber much longer than the Western and Northern makes.
 The Headlight is on the right track. With a somewhat intimate knowledge of Clay county's timber wealth we un- hesitatingiy say, that 1t will be little less than shame if that wealth is wasted. With the present great ana increasing demand for building lum- Der nothing can be expected but that. as railroads reach out into and across that country. the rich pine forests will go the way of all other pine timbereo South. This is a natural result and one which cannot be avoided. The tm- mense pine forests of all other sec- tions are falling like grass before the reaper and Clay county will follow in the wake of the others as soon as transportation facilities furnish the means of removing the product.
 But while all this is inevitable, there can be no good excuse given for fail ure to preserve the finer varieties of timber yet standing, In Clay county there is much fine oak. hickory and poplar. with some beech, birch and maple. all of which is valuable and will continually become much more so To cut down and burn such timber in the rieidS Is almost a crime, and is cer- tainly grave mistake. It is as if the farmer should cut down his stand ing corn and use the stalks and ears to fill gullies or wash-outs. The value of these hard woods Is not properly understood and appreciated by the farmers of the rural sections, and they do not yet comprehend that in these reserves of standing timber they have mines which are continually growing richer
 And We fully endorse The Headlights suggestion about having mahufactur- ing enterprises at home to work up the hard woods into articles that are need~ ed and for which there is always demand. We have no doubt but that the people of Clay county, as they do in other parts of the country. buy most of their furniture, wagons, buggies and other needed articles from other sections, some of them probably ship ped hundreds of miles to be sold to those who have a wealth of raw ma terial all around them. If shops should be erected at Lineville. for example, where all articles of wood material could be made the enterprise would serve the double purpose of keeping the money at home and of furnishing the farmer home market for his timber In short. wasting good timber these days is simply throwing away money.
