geography class asked one of the
youngsters the following question: "If
theemperor of Russia is called the Czar
what would you call the empress?"
"Sardine," replied the little fellow
almost before his teacher had finished
the question, and he came as nearly
being right as the average reader
would.

By vote of 20 to it was decided to
defer the training school matter until
another session. There is a desire on
the part of few members of the board
to discontinue the school after the
period of five years has expired. The
question is being considered but no
doubt the friends of the school are in
such force as to insure it's continuance.
The matter of the location is, of course,
in the air.
AS to the new location of the asy-
lum, there is also much discussion.
The two reports of the committee have
been discussed and Ell. Grotophorst, a
member of the board of control, ap-
peared and urged that something be
done to improve the institution. He
advocated the purchase of a location
on the railroad and the erection of
new buildings. The special committee
was discharged.
No definite action has been taken.
1t was decided to allow $50 each to
the following blind residents in Sauk
county:
Edward D. Lee, Baraboo
Emily D. Mercer, Spring Green.
Jennie M. Holden, Baraboo.
Henry FL. Huber, Baraboo.
Thomas Luetscher, Troy.
The application of Henrietta Klein
schmidt was disalloWed.
On petition of George w Andrews
he will be paid $5.75, which amount
he has paid to the county in taxes.
The report of the sheriff and sheriff7s
accounts as presented by the commit
tee was accepted.
The Jail will be repaired and new
walks built not to exceed in cost the
sum of 5000.

LEFT ITS MARKS
Automobile of William Schneider
Makes Light Charge on Telephone
Pole Somewhat Damaged.
(From Fridays Daily.)

There is an inauspicious aperture in
the telephone post at the National
bank corner. When it was made there
was a sickening thud and it is said
some of the buildings around trembled.
It was caused by light charge of
William Schneller's automobile while
his son, Rello, was turning the corner
this morning. The speed was moder-
ate or else the results would have been
more disastrous As it was lonly the
raditor was jammed, the axle bent and
few other minor considerations which
will be attended to by the garage man.

 Conditions are So varied in differ ent localities, hover. that it is quite impossible to lay down speoi- fic rules. Certain sections of a roadway will require more at tentions than others, because of steep grades, wet weather springs, soil conditions, exposure to sun and wind. washes, etc. There is one condition, however, in which spec ial attention should be given. Clay roads under persistent dragging frequently becomes too high in the center. This may be corrected by dragging the earth towards the center of the road twice, and away from 1t once.

Chased by Panther.

Mrs. Stella Troy and Misses Hattie. Matte and Willie Jones while returning home from a neigh bor's one and half miles north of Culbreath's Logging Camp, No. 9, on last Tuesday evening, were bad ly frightened by the screams of what is supposed to lave been a panther, which they saw by the roadside. In their fright the little party fled to the camp as fast as possible, being followed by the panther short distance, but all reached home in safety, but were considerably fatigued.

face of the front slab for cutting blade and to prevent ths drag from wearing. The drag may be fast ened to the doubletree by means of trace chain The chain should be wrapped around the left hand or rear stake and passed over the front slab Raising the chain at this end of the slab per mits the dirt to drift past the face of the drag. The other end of the chain should be passed through hole in the opposite end of the front slab and held by pin passed through link.
 For ordinary purposes. the hitch should be made so that the un- loaded drag will follow the team at an angle of about 45o. The team should be driven with one horse on either side of the right-hand wheel track or rut the full length of the portion to be dragged. and made to return in the same over the other half of the roadway Such treat ment will move the earth towards the center of the roadway and raise it gradually above the sur rounding level
 The best results have been ob- tained by dragging roads once each way after each heavy rain. In some cases. howevee, one dragging every three or four weeks has been found sufficient to keep road in good condition.
 When the soil is moist, but not sticky. the drag does it's best work As the soil in the field will bake if ploughed wet. so the road will bake if the drag is used on it when it is wet. If the roadway is full of mud holes or badly rutted, the drag should be used once when the ground is soft and slushy. This is particularly applicable before a cold spell in winter, when it is possible to so prepare the surface that it will freeze smooth.
 Not infrequsntly conditions are met which may be overcome by a slight change in the manner of hitching. Shortening the chain tends to lift the front slab and make the cutting slight, while a longer hitch causes the front slab to sink more deeply into the earth and act on the principle of a blow

The dearth of local news often leads to murmurs on the part of those who prize local gossip above all else, and it is not all the fault of the publisher. Any live publisher will not fail to give all the local news worthy of note, therefore, when the local department is short you should not rail at the editor. but remsmber you might have committed suicide. got married. quarrelled with your neighbor. stole chickens. let your team run away, or done a hundred other things to make a local item. and him not heard of it when line or word from you, unless you should per- form the first named stunt, would have caused mention to have been made of the ocourance.
