Inquiries From Prospective
Students.

Pres. G. E. Spohn, of the Capital
City Commercial College at Madison,
says: 1--WE have received more in
quiries from prospective students up
to this time of this year than we ever
did through the summer months be-
fore. The abundant prosperity of
Wisconsin and the adjoining states
will make it possible for more young
women to take advantage of college
education than ever before. We have
practically just begun to mail out our
new 32-page catalog in answer to
inquiries received, and the demand
has been far greater than we ever an
ticipated. The fact is, there is hardly
farmer or wage Garner in this state
who cannot at least send his boy or
girl to business school for a practi-
cal education. During the past year
the Capital City Commercial College
has enrolled over 500 students, and
the enrolment for the coming season,
opening with Sept. l, is believed will
near 600 students.

1t should be understood that the

way concerned with the recent Mime

The slight similarity in names has led
to some confusion.
One need have no fear that 1he

We shall see them the same as ever.

question is most unfortunate, it does
not by any means concern all Mime

THE FAIR OF FAIRS
The 1908 Exhibition Sustains the
Reputation of Former Years.
ALWAYS FIRST AND BEST
A Great Industrial Exposition,
and a Large Field of Running
and Trotting Horses.
PAST AND PRESENT.

The first fair of the Southwestern
Wisconsin Industrial Association was
held in September 1871, since which
time industrial exhibitions have been
held annually in Mineral Point and
premiums have always been paid in
full. The association has steadily
adhered to it's purpose, namely en-
couragement Of the agricultural and
mineral resources of Southwestern
Wisconsin. That our fairs have
tended to advance the material inter-
ests of the people Of a wide section of
country is beyond dispute. Exhibits
made at these fairs prove the blue
grass region of Wisconsin to be the
natural home of the stockman and
dairyman; and stock raising and
dairylng are industries which are
bringing rich returns to the people.
Other interests have been developed
and encouraged, and ours is now one
of the most pros porous sections of our
progressive state. We have kept full
ly abreast with the age in things which
make for the happiness and welfare of
the people. The fair now in progress
proves this beyond dispute. These
annual reunions are helpful to all who
participate in them. The officers of
the Southwestern Wisconsin Fair are
entitled to credit for the excellent pro-
gram which they have provided this
year, and there can be no doubt that
all who attend will be well satisfied,
and the fair will sustain it's we'll earn

Economic Civic Tidiness.

From every point Of view the idea Of
using vacant lots for gardening pur-
poses is a good one, even if it is hedged
around with limitations Of one kind or
another and more particularly by the
fact Of the uncertain time limit on their
availability. There are many improve
ment associations over the country ac-
tive in organizing and encouraging this
work, and as to the benefit to be Sc
cured by both old and young, wheth-
er the districts be open or cOngested,
there is little doubt. Moreover, the 9th
er side of the question, the improve
ment in appearance of the great ma
jority of vacant lots and the cOnse-
quent effect on any locality thus i'm
ing q liberal acquiescence on the part
of property owners in efforts so mutu-
ally beneficial. The moral agency Of
gardening in its uplifting influence on
human nature is in itself a powerful
incentive to pin faith to gardening
wherever opportunities offer. To some
the development in growth and frui-
ton excites absorbing attention, and to
others their products are most allur-
ing To both classes there is that partic
ular fascination which tends to encour
age qualities highly beneficial to the
gardener as we'll as especially SO to the
community. Much benefit may be de-
rived under proper organization and

of vacant lots either for profit or pleas

WANT A FLOUR MILL
 IN THE PASS CITY
Chamber>of Commerce Takes
 the Matter Up There.

At a meeting. of the Fl Paso cham Der of commerce held this week there was considerable discussion of the proposition to secure a houring mill in that city. The following extract rom what was said concerning a fiouring mill in Fl Paso is reproduced for the benefit of those who may be contemplating a similar enterprise in this city:-
 TO the members of the board of directors of the chamber of com merce Mir. Brown became serious, when smiles were noticeable on the faces of some of the dirctors, and he proceeded to explain why a four mill would pay out here as well as being a good thing for the city, and before he concluded the directors were all of the opinion that Fl Paso should have four mill
 less freight rate than four, there, fore can be shipped in here at diff ferential from five to seven cents un-
 der flour, and by-products of flour have even a less rate than wheat. Output Guaranteed. Flour has to be shipped into El Paso and Director Brown contends that if the city has a flour mill that mill, which would have to be equip ped to turn out a product from hard and soft wheat, would get the busi ness. Soft wheat flour is now shipped from Colorado, while hard wheat flour
 comes from Kansas and Oklahoma and there is a big sale of both in the Pass City.
 "Mr. Brown contends that a foul mill in Fl Paso has it's product guar
 anteed and says that the market for ! by-products is no better in the Unit
 ed States than here.
 Tt was also mentioned that a flour
 mill here would create a market foI
 wheat raised in the Estancia valley
 and that a mill here could take the entire amount of wheat grown in this I district and would likewise encour age wheat growing.
 Milling and Transit Rates. ''Mr Brown stated that if a mil happened to be located in Fl Paso | considerable distance from whea belts, it would not be a disadvantage to it, as 1t could get milling ana l tansit rates, the same as the loca
 elevator has elevating and transit
 rates By this system it could ship 1T | wheat at a less rate than flour, and
 after milling it, could reship into it. territory, and still get the benefit c

B. N. FRANKS WANTED
 OH CHARGE OF FRAUD
Deserted Wife and Two Small Children at MeSa-So!d
 Cattle He Didn't Own.

PHOENIX, Ariz., April 29.-Desert- ing his wife and two small children, whom he has left to others to provide for, R. N. Franks, who is wanted in Mesa and Tempe for selling mort gagged property, is now fugitive from justice, with officers in all parts of the territory searching for him.
 Franks left Mesa April F and since that time nothing has been heard ot him. There is a warrant out for his arrest, and officers will be asked to keep a sharp lookout for the man who spreads his misdeeds over large part of the south side.
 Borrowing the white mule of C. B. Turner, with whom his wife and two children were stopping, Franks is al legged to have gone to ]. D. Attaway and asked for a loan of $50. offering to give a mortgage on the white mule as security.
 Attaway had known Franks at Globe as a hard working, honest citi- zen, with 6 family. and told him that If he would get the endorsement or W. N. Underwood he would also sign a note for $30 This Franks did, ana when he accepted the note went with it to J. V. Guthrie, who cashed the paper, and took mortgage on the white mule that belonged to Turner.
 Evidently not having enough money Franks is charged with having gone to Tempe and purchased a small herd of cattle from Bill Mouer. He made a partial payment and gave A mortgage on the cattle for the rest.
 With this asset. Franks had little trouble selling the cattle to c. Full.-r. from whom he received $400. it Is said.
