Vile mas Do6n WISHING IducdSI0r
friends and relatives the past week.
-Robt. Brooker and son Eugene
arrived home Sunday from Cham
berlain, s. D.. where they recently
completed the commodious sanitar-
1um.
John Lenberg, stranger who
drifted in town the other day, was
arrested by Marshal Pierce Monday
on charge of vagrancy, after hav-
ing been given plenty of time to
continue his journey. He was re-
Gently liberated from Waupun.
Local authorities are looking up his
record.
-Janitor Duncalf burned a lot
of waste paper in the furnace at the
primary school Monday and stray
cinder ignited the dry single roof.
An alarm was turned IN, the fire
department responding promptly,
but their services were not needed,
Tom and his garden hose having
extinguished the flames.
-Janesville BARRIERS have agreed
to increase the price of shaves from
ten to fifteen cents, and as a conse-
quence there is said to be an unpre-
cedented demand for razors in that
city. By the time the BARRIERS find
they are losing good share of their
trade they may be very glad to get
back to ten cent shaves.
Ladies of the w. c. T Z. re-
member the regular meeting at
chapel of M. E. church Thursday,
Aug. 18th at usual hour. All are
expected to be present as final ar
rangements must be made for enter
tanning delegates to our convention
on the Goth and 21st. Let us all do
our best to make this meeting a
grand success.
Every property holder and ten
ant should take the greatest of pride
in cleaning up and keeping their
holdings and homes in an admitted
sanitary condition. Health is hap
piness. We have the reputation of
having the healthiest climate and
neatest city of its size in the state.
Let US keep that reputation by all
means.
AT the prices which prevail at
the present time, the farmer who
has good herd Of dairy cows or
good lot of well finished hogs, a few
draft horses, or a good flock of
sheep or hens, will have no occa-
sion to say that farming doesn't
pay. All these animals are COM
manding fancy prices and find
lively demand. Each farmer may
well ask himself il he has them for
sale, if not, why not?
The boy who leaves a good
home on the farm to seek a soft
snap in the city very quickly has
his eyes opened. Hanging to a
strap in car packed with human
beings as he never saw cattle car
so packed; living on salary that
barely pays the cost of a cherries
box OF a hall bedroom at a cheap
boarding house; without friends and
up against fiercest competition the
world has ever seen-these things
are likely TO produce a serious case
of remorse in most boys.
The United States park COM
mission made tour of the north
west last month and are said to be
favorably considering the advisable
ty of establishing a national park
and reserve at the mouth of the
Wisconsin river on the spot where
Father Marquette planted a cross
when he discovered the Mississippi.
About $500 acres are desired in the
town of Wyalusing bordering along
the high bluffs adjacent to the
rivers. Tie spot has some of the
most beautiful scenery in the world
and is owned by Ex-Sheriff Glenn of
Lancaster.
Have you stood quite close to
the railroad track as a modern, mon
ster locomotive and its heavy drag
went whizzing by? If you have,
and are not too familiar with the
sensation, you will wonder at the
strength of the slender steel rails
and how they keep the putting, fiery
giants from blowing an erratic but
short distanced furrow into the
right of way. There are many
small engines still in use, especially
on the way freights, and these look
safe enough. But the latest and
largest engines are something for
the fortuitous observer to contemp-
late with awe. Their length, height
capacity and soliditY OF construction
