The short course in agriculture at
the University of Wisconsin college
of agriculture opens on Dec. Z, and
h e present registration indicates
that the entering class will be the
largest in the history of the college.
Applications for admission have
been received not only from nearly
every county in the state, but also
from Missouri, Kentucky, Illinois,
New York, Minnesota, North OAK ota,
Ohio, and from Canada, Mexico
and the West Indies. Many mature
men are planning to take the course;
one has just registered who is fifty
years of age, and another, fifty seven,
who came from Georgia last year
for the work, is returning for the
second years work. There are sew
eral whose ages range from thirty
five to thirty seven years, though
the average age OF the students is
about twenty. The steady growth
of the short course student body is
due largely to the influence OF for
mer students who induce new men
to take the work by showing what
an education will enable them to do
on the farm, demonstrating the sue
cess attending systematic and well
directed effort.

CURE YOUR KIDNEYS
DO Not Endanger Life When Lady.
smith Citizen Shows You
the Cure

Why will people continue to suffer the
Ills of kidney complaint, backache,
urinary disorders, lameness, headaches,
languor, why allow themselves to be-
come chronic invalids, when certain
cure is offered them?
Doan's Kidney Pills is the remedy to
use, because it gives to the kidneys the
help which they need to perform their
work.
Ii you have any, even one of the symp-
toms of kidney diseases, cure yourself
now. before diabetes, dropsy or Bright s
disease sets in. Read this Ladysmith
testimony.
Mrs. Ed. Phalen, living in the eastern
part of Ladysmith, Wis, says: Il was
in run down condition as the result
of kidney trouble. | suffered from in
tense pains in my back so severe at
night as to prevent me from sleeping.
My kidneys were disordered and the
secretions very scanty and painful in
passage. At times | suffered from
headaches which caused me a great
deal of discomfort. D ms Kidney
Pills had often been recommended to
me, and when saw them advertised at
the Mooney Pharmacy, | procured a
box. They gave me such great relief
that l obtained further supply and
the change in my condition was most
gratifying. To anyone suffering from
similar trouble, l heartily recon-
mend Doan's Kidney Pills. y

are coming To them. OF course eyEfS
year there Is alarge exodus OF foreign
born people who have made enough
money through the year to enable
them to go to their native land to
spend the winter or enjoy Christmas
with their kinfolk. But this year the
exodus is much larger than before.
one main cause being the temporary
shutting down, because OF the finan-
cial stringency, of mills and factories
in which many OF these people
worked. OF course the majority OF
them will return in the spring yet
their going, whether it be temporary
or permanent, presents a serious
monetary problem.
Steamships have hurriedly brought
to this country many millions OF
gold to relieve the market, while at
the same time people have gone from
this land by the thousands, each one
taking with him an average OF 1900.
When we reflect that the authorities
estimate that in the last two months
of this year not less than $4,000 to
100 900 people will have left for their
old homes across the water, it is
easy to figure out the drain OF gold
this country is suffering. In many
cases the people who have gone will
never return, but will olive like
lords" in Italy or Hungary or some
other country on the interest of the
few years savings they have accumu-
lated. What with the winter exodus
of the masses and t h e summer
exodus Of the classes, and the millions
of dollars that 60 to buy titled hus-
bands for American heiresses, this
nation seems to be lavishly giving
of it's wealth to enrich Europe.

Portugal is little kingdom down
in the southwest corner of Europe,

rest OF the continent and SO seldom

that in the near future it will emerge

shown itself for some time and it has
become more intense since the es-
Establishment of dictatorship. L h e

Disastrous as was the recent panic
to some people it is likely to be re-

will be that if it leads to wise con

been caught unawares and over

WHO HIT THE BULL'S-EYE?
A Chance to do Ciphering Over the
Scores of Four Marksmen

Scores of Four Marksmen.
Four crack shots at Puddlebury com.
peted for the annual Pewter pot
trophy. They were allowed six shots
each Encircling the bulls eye were
eight rings. The bulls-eye counts 100,
the ring next to it so, tr% next %, then
90, 10, 5, 3, 2, and l.
Now Jones scored 1876. Brown 1913,
Robinson 121, and Macpherson 106.
The curious puzzle is to discover from
these facts and from the twenty-four
actual hits recorded on the target,
who hit the bull's-eye.
1t is known that the only hit that
scored was made by Brown. The
outer or eighth ring was hit times,

times, the 10 ring once, the 20 ring 3
times, the % ring l time. The so
ring scored shots.
And we know that one bullet
pierced the bull's-eye. The great ques-
ton is, Which of the crack shots hit

People hoard money in this country
and a good deal OF it has been with
drawn from the banks and secreted
during the past few weeks to the
checking of business and a positive
loss to the hoarder. But what is the
