BANKRUPT STOCK SOLD.

Dennis Healy who is in charge, as
trustee, of the bankrupt cooperative
store of the south side, completed the
work of taking an inventory last week.
The stock inventoried S13, 300 and was
sold by the trustee to Chas. Bruss of
Brillion for 20 cents on the dollar. AT
a meeting of the stockholders last Satur.
day the sale was confirmed. The book
account is $4,000 and it is Figured out
that about $1,000 of this can be collected
This, with the amount received for the
stock, will make the assets approximately
S11 900. The liabilities are Sl5, 600, so
there will be deficit of $4,000 which
the stockholders will have to make up.
The creditors will be paid in full. There
are SO stockholders, 90 of whom are
farmers. 1t seems the concern was a
defectively incorporated association and
the shareholders are liable as partners
for the obligations of the company.

SERIOUS ACCIDENT IN NEWTON.

Xavier Bonk farmer living in the
town of Newton, met with a serious ac-
cident last Friday as he was moving his
traction engine over a bridge across
Seven Mile Creek The bridge had been
repaired and it seems had been pro.
nounced safe by town officials. The
bridge gave way and the engine fell
into the creek Mr.. Bonk was caught
between the engine and the tender and
held fast. While efforts were being
made to release him, the fire from the
engine made an intense heat and water
had to be used to protect the man from
being burned to death.
Mr.. Bonk was taken in the train to
st. Nicholas Hospital at Sheboygan
where his leg was amputated below the
knee. Reports show that he is improv-
ing. Sheboygan papers state also that
a suit is likely to be brought against the
town of Newton for the loss of the limb
and also for the loss of the engine. Mr..
Bonk is GA years of age and has a family.
He has been running a threshing ma
chine for 80 years.

CAN'T MARKET ROTTEN EGGS.

The day of safely marketing rotten
eggs and eggs about ready to hatch
is over and both farmer and merchants
have ample reason for being exceedingly
careful of the hen frui they dispose of,
as otherws the consequences may be eX-
ceedingly unpleasant. A government
inspector recently hung around store
in an Iowa town, anu when farmer
brought in some eggs, he said he want
ed some fresh eggs and took the lot.
Several of them proved to be rotten and
the farmer was assessed $l20 hy Uncle
Sam under the pure food law If the
merchant had taken the eggs and dis.
posed of them to his customers he would
have been liable to the same fine. The
only safe rule now for both farmer and
merchant is to candle their eggs so that
they know they are giving the purchaser
what he or she pays for. -EN.

patton for several years He was ii live,

deep interest in educational affairs in
years gone by. He served as clerk of
the North Side School for number of
terms and always worked for the ad.
vancement of the school Owing to his
advanced age he has led retired life for
some years. His body was removed from

WHEN DEBTORS WE'RE JAILED.
Evil Practice Existed Until Compare
lively Recent Times.

In nearly every country until com
paratively recent times, debtors have
been subject to Imprisonment. After
the panic of 1925, 101 900 writs Nr
debt were issued in England. In 1880,
1000 persons were sent to London
prisons for debt, and on January |,
1910, 100 persons We're held for
debt in England and Wales. 1000 in
Ireland and less than 100 in Scotland.
From time to time notifications in
the laws governing the Imprisonment
of debtors have been made, so that
fewer debtors are imprisoned for this
crime each year In 1929 there were
3,010 debtors in prison in Massachu-
setts, 10000 in New York, 1000 in
Pennsylvania. 5000 in Maryland, and
like proportion in other states.
Many of these persons were jailed for
debts of one dollar. The law provid-
ing for the Imprisonment of men
who could not pay their debts was
shown to be impracticable by stats
tics taken from Philadelphia, where in
1928 there were LOSS debtors impris-
oned for debts amounting to $4,000.
The expense of keeping these persons
in confinement was 1862 900. which
was paid by the city, aud the amount
recovered by this method was $295.
Imprisonment for debt was abolished
by congress in the United States In
1898, though this measure was not
fully enforced until lS39.-Montreal

SmiIino,

A smile IS not a cOntortion. This
sary were it not for the fact that one
so constantly sees men and women
distorting their faces in a spasmodic
effort to seem friendly or witty. Ri.
dfculous as it sounds, there is a proper
way even to smile First of all, do not
sion for 1t. Next, smile slowly. Next,
do not grin And last, do not simper.
Abolish the sarcastic smile Of con.
tempt or patronage, the smile Of sy.
cophancy. That is to say, realize that
sweet, amiable smile can come only
from a sweet, amiabe personality
and go thou and do likewise"

The Uses of Worry.

Worry of one sort and another Ia
necessary to the complete health OF
the spirit; worry Is as surely related
to content on one side as It is to mis-
cry on the other II is as wholesome
an exercise for the spirit, and as re-
freshing, as the physical exercise
which the man finds 50 necessary to
his well-being. The spirit must have
its peculiar gymnastics; the soul can
not afford to become stagnant: its
waters, If one may say SO. must be
stirred occasionally If they would be
kept fresh and sweet.-Joel Chandler
Harris In Uncle Remus' Magaziue.

THOUGHT klM \ GUEST, TOO.
Drummer's Query Quite Natural, Un.
der the Circumstances.

A story is told by a drummer of
his experience at a country hotel in
North Dakota this last winter. He
arrived late in the evening, and, al
though the weather was intensely
cold there was but one fire, and that
was in the office. After yainly shiver-
ing over the diminutiye stove, he con
cluded he would go to bed and get
warm AS the landlord conducted
him through the dark and cold hail.
he inquired if there were any warm
rooms, and ia answer was uShered
into a room into which there never
had been fire, but which had one
little window, on which was a storm
sash with no yentilatOr. Il calculate
this will fill the bill, as there cant no
cold git in it, said the landlord, de
posting the smoky lamp on the only
piece of furniture in the room. After
spreading his overCoat on the bed,
the drummer, with all his clothes on
except his shoes, crawled between the
icy sheets, where he shivered till
morning. Going downstairs, he
found the landlord nursing a sickly
blaze in the wheezy little stove, and
with his teeth chattering, the dram.
NOR stood over the stove trying to
rub some life into his hands, when
a farmer, who had driven 20 miles
across the country, came Ia. He
was covered with frost and the icicles
hung down from his mustache and
beard Eyeng him curloUsly for
awhile the drummer exclaimed:
(which room did you sleep in last
night?"

PUSHED THE BEAR ASIDE.
Surveyor Tells of Experience He Doof
Not Care to Repeat.

To walk right up to a monster bear
and try to shove it out of the way and
then escape without so much as a
scratch is an experience of lifetime.
Harry | Engelbright found 1t so a few
days ago in Diamond canyon, above
Washington, says a Nevada City cor
respondent of the Sacramento Bee.
The young man, son of Congressman
Engelbright, has just returned from
the upper country. where he has been
doing some surveying, and relates his
thrilling experience. 1t was coming
on dusk, at the close of the days work,
In the brush-lined trail he saw pro.
truding what he thought were the
mind quarters Of some stray bovine.
He walked up and gave the brute a
a snort that made his hair rise and
caused him to beat a hasty retreat.
The big brute looked around and then
shutfled off into the woods It was
either asleep or else so busy eating
ants from an old log that it failed to
hear the young surveyor. whose foot
steps were deadened by the thick cHr-
pet of pine needles. Later it was
learned that the same bear, monster
cinnamon, had killed a dog earlier in
the day. The dog ventured too close
and with one blow Of its paw the big
beast sent it hurtling yards away,
dead as dOornail

ALL RELIGIONS IN LONDON.
Faithist Community Latest Addition
to Its Queer Sects.

The Faithist community which has
established modest footing in Bal
ham, and whose comprehensive gospel
ranges from the creation Of man to
the glory and lators Of the gods and
goddesscs Of the EtheTian heavens" is
the latest addition to the long list Of
London's religious sects, which are
now almost as many as tha days Of
the year. In London the Chiuaman

one JOss-housc in the east end, the Ma
hometan has his mosque, the MaIayan
his temple, near st. Georges street
east; the Parsces worship the sun in
Bloomsbury, the Mormons have a mis-
sion in ls1ington, ard in many parts
of the metropolis the Buddhists and
Ancestor Worshipers perform their
strange rites. OF Christian seCts in
London there are at least 300, inClud
ing the Cokclers, the disciples Of VIII
liam Sirgood, the Walworth shoe
maker; the Peculiar People, who pre-
fer prayer to physicians; the Sande-
manians, the followers OF Joanna
