Hot Weather Hints.

An exchange offers the following
timely suggestions to farmers Now
that the hot weather that we have
been wishing for has come and
frequent showers of rain keeps the
atmosphere charged with moisture,
there is great danger to both persons
and work animals Of being overcome
with heat, so it behooves every one
to be on their guard. In the first
place, it is very dangerus to drink
large quantities Of cold water, few
swallows slowly taken is much better.
Acid drinks as lemonade or orange
ade are good, in fact the juice of a
lemon or an orange put into gallon
or more of water will allay thirst
readily. Avoid coffee drinks at
meals or at any time; it is regular
thirst creator. Water used on the
surface will cool the person and
quench the thirst readily. Water
poured on the head, hands and arms
cools nicely, but while you are think
ing of yourself and caring for your
self, do not forget your faithful friend
your horse, he needs fully as much
care as you do. We have a pail at
the we'll and hot days when we sweat
and get tired out horses do the same
and they should get few swallows
of water same as we do We take the
water out of the tank where it has
been standing for some time and it is
not very cold, if the horses are sweat
ing we dash little water over them
being careful to wet the top of their
heads. 1t is only a few minutes
work to take off the harness at noon
throw pail or two of water over
them. feed them out of doors under
the shade trees, keep them out of the
hot barn, where they will be SO hot
they cannot eat and sweat just run
ming off them, their incoming did
them no good. Be thoughtful of
your horses. If you have never done
as we do, try it in small way and
prove it for yourself.

"A Word About the County Clerkship.
Contrib uted,

Contrib uted.
AS general proposition a county
officer should be intelligent, in
dustrious, painstaking, honest, and a
man of good habits and good morals.
He should be intelligent in order
that he may fully understand the
official duties devoping upon him |;
industrious in order that those duties
may be promptly performed; painstak-
ing in order that they may be proper
ly performed; affable in order that
people having business in his Office
may be assured of courteous treat
ment, and man of good morals and
good habits if for no other reason
than to set an example to others. Elk
perience adds greatly to mis- efficiency
and should be considered one of his
chief assets.
When any county has such qualities
combined in one OF it's officials, it is
sheer folly and poor business judgment
to retire him from Office simply be-
cause he has served two terms and be-
cause a foolish custom has in the past
prescribed two terms and out. -
No farmer, merchant, banker or me-
chanic would think of discharging a
man from his employ who had served
him faithfully and had become pro-
ficient in his work on the ground that
he had already been in his employ
four years. As business proposition
he would prefer to keep him in his
employ because of his superior train
ing for the work he has to do.
Is not the county's business as i'm
portant as the individuals? And. if
so, why should not the same principles
apply regarding hired help?
The present incumbent in the
county clerks Office, G. E. Tufiey,
makes an ideal officer. For the past
four years be has been a faithful,
efficient servant of the people. His
past experience in the Office is greatly
to his advantage, and instead of be-
ing used as an argument against bis
election, should be one of the
strongest arguments in his favor.
Can any one give good reason why
Mr. Tuffiey should not be retained in
the office of county clerk? :"

The accompanying picture is that

IS. A. Cook? You Bet Your Life. "

Contributed.
1t was at the home endorsement
rally at the Neenah Armory on Thurs
day evening, July Is, that this some
what slangy campaign slogan for one
of the candidates for the Republican
nomination for United States Senator
was adopted.
W. G. Cowling, of Oshkosh who
has been associated with Mr.. Cook S
campaign for several weeks past had,
in an inspiring address, told the large
audience of the candidates friends
and neighbors how Mr.. Cook had
asked him, before trying to enlist him
in his campaign, whether he could
support him through conviction and
could conscienciously work tor him.
''The message came over paone, :"
said Mr.. Cowling, 'andI answered,
You bet your lifel Come light over
and see me-.
''And that's just exactly the support
Mr.. Cook wants throughout the entire
state" continued Mr. Cowling, 'men
who believe in him, men who are
with him through conviction, men
who can support him conscientious
ly."
P. Y. Lawson of Neenah was one of
the speakers who gave enthusiastic
testimony of the worth of the candi
date, and recalling Mr.. Cowling s
exuberance in expressing approval
of the candidate, suggested that IS.
A. Cook You bet your life, ;" be there
and then adopted as the slogan of the
campaign.
The idea struck the fancy of the
audience and the new battle cry was
sounded throughout the hall and
down the streets, and until long after
the meeting, the streets of Neenah
and Menasha rang with the slogan,
S. A. Cook You bet your life. +"
Now it is heard in every county in
the state. "~

State Aid Great Thing.

The following by ExGov. Hoard
should be read by every Grant County
citizen.
In my Judgment, nothing has
come before the people of the State 10
many years which means more to the
future progress and development OF
our commonwealth than the question
of State Aid.
The farmer is especially interested,
if he can but see the question in les
true light. There is a powerft
pressure of public sentiment for the
improvement of our roads. The
farmers have resisted this pressure be-
cause, as matters now stand, the main
burden of construction would come on
him, but if the proposed amendment
to the constitution is carried, then all
the property of the state is placed
under contribution for this important
object.
Then again, there is no man in the
State who is more vitality interested
from the hard cash standpoint, IN
having good roads to his market
town, than the farmer The nearer
to town his farm lies the greater its
value, and the more it will sell for pei
acre. A good macadamized road that
can be used in all kinds of weather
and all times of the year for the
heaviest loads, practically reduces
distance fifty per cent for, double the
load can be hauled and, if need be,
the distance can be travelled in half
the time. Wherever such roads have
been built, the effect has been to at
once increase the selling value of
the farms adjoining from $40 to $40
per acre.
These are hard practical reasons
looking to an increase of farm value
wealth, and l believe they lie within
this proposition of State Aid for
roads.

Ship With No Upper Berths.

The new steamer PrinZ Friedrich
Wilhelm, which recently arrived at
New York from Bremen with the new
crew for the imperial German cruiser
Bremen, is the third largest liner OF
the North German Lloyd passenger
fleet and is equipped with all the latest
improvements for the comfort of ocean
travellers. She is 613 feet in length,
6S feet beam, ~ feet depth of hold
and 1850 gross registered tonnage.
She has accommodation for 425 first
class, 33S second and $50 third class
passengers and a crew of 401 hands
There are two innovations in the first
class cabin These are the practical
elimination of the uncomfortable "up-
per- berths and INSIDE cabins. There
are a great many single rooms on the
new ship, and in the double cabins the
berths are at right angles to each other
or side by side. The dining room seats
324 passengers, and the Vienna cafe in
the promenade deck has an open air
veranda at the after end which is fit
ted with easy chairs and teakwood
tables so that passengers, protected by
wind screens, may enjoy their coffee

SPARKS FROM THE DIAMOND


Platteyille today again.
The team goes to Platteville to-
morrow for two games and on the
next two days plays at Galena.
Galena plays here next Tuesday and
Wednesday.
Eggers had busy day at Highland
in left field. during the last game
played there. He got put outs, and
not an error was chalked up against
him.
Ernie Ovitz, who was with Lancas
ter short time this season, and who
is now one of the star twirlers of the
Dubuque Three Eyes team, won his
game Saturday after being injured by
a pitched ball. 1t was thought for
time that he was badly hurt, but
after doctor had dressed the injury,
Ovitz finished the game, winning it
by a score of 1 to 0.
It is up to the fans to support the
team here by attending the games and
pulling for the locals to win. If an
error is made or a game is lost dom
kick the players or management.
They are doing their best.

solve his delivery at any time during
the contest.
