ADOPTED A LARGE CLASS
NJ. W. of A. Feast on Elequence
and Goodies.

Fully four hundred Wood County
Woodmen gathered in this city, at
the Grand Thursday night, for the
purpose of adopting fully sixty-five or
seventy new members.
Before the regular camp work was
taken up, an address was delivered by
G. E. Whelan, of Madison, who was
introduced by Atty. Louis Bauman.
This address was an excellent one con-
tanning much fire and eloquence. Mr..
Whelan is an orator of well known
ability, and as supreme lecturer for
the M. w. A, he is power for good
His arguments are convincing, and
his manner of speaking particularly
pleasing.
After the camp work an adjourn
ment was taken to ForeSters hall
where bountiful feast had been pre-
pared by the Royal Neighbors. Music
aided in the truly enjoyable feast.

BIBLE SCHOOL CATALOGUE

The Congregational Bible school is
about to publish a catalogue, pro-
fusely Illustrated with half tone cuts
of the church, the officers. the teachers,
and the differnt classes, and contain
ing an outline of their course of study.
Many interesting facts connected with
the school will be therein contained,
and the whole will be similar to the
catalogues issued by schools and col
legeS. Prof. M. III. Jackson is pre-
pairing the catalogue, while A. Decker
will superintend the makeup.
This is perhaps the first catalogue
ever issued in the state for Bible
School, and the innovation is de-
parture of much merit.

MORE WORK FOR LAWYERS
Clerk of Court A. B. Bever Re.
ceived New Divorce Blanks.

If the new marriage license record
required by the state board of health
was an infiction upon the county
clerks of the state the report required
of the clerks of the circuit court re-
garding divorce principals is even
more SO as it affects more persons
Not only will this mean more work
for the clerk, but the attorneys act
ing for applicants for divorces will
have to include in their pleadings to
the court the information which is
now required by the clerk, for this is
the only way he will have of collect
ing it, as he makes personally no ex-
animation of the divorce principals.
Clerk of the court, A. B. Bever, re-
ceived the blank for this report this
week. The law has been in ef-
feet since last September, according
GO his information, but the state
printing department has not been able
to turn out the new blanks sooner.
The law is one of the last session
measurerS.
In the first place the report must
show which court the action was
brought in, the county and the record
number, and following this the per-
sonal particulars concerning the plain
tiff and defendant in each divorce
suit. The attorneys in such suits
must include in their pleas to the
court for divorce the following in
formation about the plaintiff: Name,
age, lin years. color. birthplace,
country occupation, nationality,
residence at time of marriage state,
(state or country residence at time of
suit, (P. o. address, place of marriage,
date of marriage. date of separation.
manner of service of summons was
suit contested, alleged cause or causes
for annulment or divorce, kind of re-
lief prayed for, nature of decree, was
alimony asked, number of children by
the marriage, was cross bill filed by
the defendant? OF the defendants
the name, age, color, occupation, resi-
dence at time of marriage and suit,
birthplace, and nationality are re-
quired the same as of the plaintiff,
but the queries which follow are not
so numerous or the same. They are
the date OF decree, date of filing ac-
tion, was it granted and number of
children affected by the decree?
There is margin on the report re-
served for binding, and the clerks are
instructed to write plainly with un-
fading ink as the report is to be per-
manent record Items that cannot
possibly be obtained are to be marked
unknown, and the report of each suit
for annulment of marriage or di vorce
must be sent to the State Register of
Vital Statistics on or before September
13 of each year. Where cross bill is
filed by the defendant in suit
similar return relating thereto is to
be made.
The principle information which at
torneys will have to include in their
pleas, and which they have not in
cluded heretofore, is color, birthplace,
occupation and nationality of the
plaintiff and defendant. Most of the
other questions can be answered by
the clerk and such other information
is included in the complaints in the
divorce actions as they have been
filed heretofore.

The annual dues for active member
ship in this organization was reduced

it was more desirable to have two hun

PLAIN LOGIC.

While passing through Kansas Mr..
aft gave the people some logic easily
understood. At Dodge City there had
cen placed on a grain elevator q large
sign which read:
Wheat. 1908, 80 cents-Republican
rule; wheat. 1896, IS cents-Democrati
ic rule"
Taking notice Of the sign, Mr.. Taft
said to his large audience:
Il have statistics a little more com.
plete than that. The average price OF
corn in Kansas in 1896, after four
ears Of democratic rule, was IS cents
per bushel. Now 1t Is more than "A
-ents per bushel. This republican
price of A cents for corr in Kansas
gave to the farmers of Kansas for
their corn crop Of 1907 more than $40.
900 900 in excess of what they would
have received If they had sold at the
democratic price Of Is cents.
with respect to wheat, in which ]
think this community fs rather more
interested than corn, the average
price of wheat in Kansas for the foul
democratic years was 40 cents per
bushel. At present 1t is over "a cents
per bushel, and If your present wheat
crop had been sold at democratic
prices, 1t would have left you $21, 600.
900 less than you have today.
For oats the democratic price was
16 cents; for barley 20 cents, and for
potatoes 81 cents, and for hay $2.70 g
ton. The republican prices gave tc
the farmers of Kansas for the crop Of
oats, barley, potatoes and hay In 1907
over $18. 900, 900 in xcess of what they
would have received il they had sold
chose CROPS at the democratic prices
which prevailed all over Kansas In
1896, after the democrats had run the
government four years.
you have increased the value Of
your horses over what you had ir
1896 from about SIG, 900, 900 to 500.
000, 900, five times in value what they
were In those days. The present val
ue of your mules is $1S, 900, 900, I'VE
times what 1t was in 1896.
THE same Is true OF Kansas COWS
oxe and other cattle, the presen,
value being $92, 900 900, or nearly twice
what 1t RAJ in 1896.
With respect to sheep and hogs,
the, present value Is SIG, 900, 900, or
more than twice what 1t was In 1896
Hogs today are worth something over
Sc, while in those days it was about 50.
"Of course the arument Is that thai
was not due to democratic rule, but as
| a matter OF fact, in Harrison's admin.
istration you had no such prices. Yon
had them in C~leveland's administra
ton, after the Gorman-Wilson tarin
bill. and just as soon us the repubh-
cans came in again and passed the
Dingley bill, the prices began to raise,
you had a good market, and you have
been prosperous ever since.

made such prosperity and put 1t in the

Bryant Labor Question.

William Jennings Bryan in the
course of his Labor day address IN
Chicago exclaimed:
The labor question n It presents
itself at this time Is chiefly a ques-
ton Of distribution"
In that brief proposition Mr.. Bryan
discloses one Of his favorite remedies
for the ills Of the Democratic party.
Distribution ID needed and needed bad
ly-by the Organised Democracy. The
Nebraska pretender. who insists that
wealth is created BY legislation rather
than by labor. calls upon the grand ar
my Of American toilers to distribute
their earnings among the managers Of
the Democratic campaign fund.
The farmers were first invited to
step forward and turn their money. In
sums from 81 upward, into the treas
ury of the party which stands for free
wool. free silver and convict labor.
The farmers having h~eartlessly ig-
nored the appeal Of the Nebraska pre-
tender. he Is willing that all others
may distribute their money among the
directors Of his campaign. ever on the
modest basis OF 80 cents per head.
