The Wild Oats Crop.

One of our friends urges me to " Keep before the readers of the home pages the fact that boys, any more than girls, should not be excused for sowing wild oats; that one should be held equally accountable with the other, not withstanding the fact that GUS tom and society condones the boys escapade, while it crucfes the girl This is too often true and it should be urged upon the young people that, if they SOW this dreadful crop, there will be no haphazard seeding every grain will germinate the growth will be sure and the harvest plen- teous and bitter. Wild oats, un- like the domestic kind, never fail, but the pity is that the sower is seldom the only sufferer; others, innocent ones, must eat of the bitter huskS, and often tho direSt effects of the recklessness will fall upon the shoulders least de serving of the pain. If the result of the matter hurt only the doer, it would be bad enough, for the consequence would be but just, but too often the conscience is scared and the feelings blunted by evil doing, and the shareness of the sting is not felt.
 Love alone should be inexor- able," and should require of an other the purity that is required of it. When girls women cease to excuse the lapses from virtue of the men they associate with, then will men begin to count the cost of the sowing of wild oats. Men tell us that they are what the women they asso- ciate with make of them. If mothers and daughters would join hands in their requirements, and young women would cease to associate with men of loose hab- it's, the world would b e a health fer, happier place in every re- Spect.

Never before has such a large number of immigrants returned from America to Europe as the past year. They are not the de parted immigrants, but forei- gners who have been admitted and who commonly given is that high prices and the decline of business have driven them away But if they were not fairly pros porous they could not go back. Perhaps they fear that harder times are coming, and that they had better get out with what they have scraped together. Later some of them may receive reports from their friends in this country whieh h will make them wish they had stayed.

cial.
 For some time past the Com, mercial has been asked by many persons, to give it's choice; if it had any, for chief executive of the State.
 From the start, in so far as the four pronounced candidates were concerned, this paper was, and is today in favor of George w Donaghey above either of the candidates now in the race. And in this connection it must be un- derstood that it is not the desire of this paper to be the vitupera- tive, nor will it be drawn into an ungainly and undignified dispute touching the question at issue, if possible to avoid it.
 We do not pretend to say that he Is an orator-on the contrary he is not. But We will say, and say it knowingly, that in any matter in which he becomes in terested he is a practical tall1er, man of fine sense, who possess es not only a logical but an ana lytical mind and MT. Donaghey has sufficient education to write and say just the proper thing at the suspicious moment, not in beautiful word painting, but in good English language; and he also possesses fine executive abil- ity. This is clearly shown when it is known that he grew to man. hood, learned the carpenters trade and later became d con tractor and builder, many times building houses in different parts of Arkansas and Texas at the same time and frequently having more than a thousand workmen to look to and manage at differ ent times, while educating him self at the same time.
 So well has he succeeded in his own administrative affairs that The Commercial believes that he is fully competent to at tend to all the executive duties pertaining to the Governors of flee of grand old Arkansas. And if we did not so believe The Com mercial would not lend it support to him which it does most ear nestly, so earnestly that it will have more to say of him from time to time, as occasion seems necessary and time and other topics will permit.

They Plead Guilty

"Tbe pleading guilty of Nowack &
Meyer Of WATERFOWL in the circuit
court of Jefferson county on the
charge Of having sold oleomargarine
in imitation Of yellow butter, after
having carried their case to the SUI
preme court, is victory for the
dairy and food commissioner Of this
state and an indication of the practi-
cal surrender of the manufacturers
after a long and persistent contest"
said the state dairy and food commits
sioner at Madison yesterday.
year ago last February, F. H
Meyer and NJ. G. Nowack were SEN
fenced to pay a fine Of $50 each by
Judge CT imm. Owing to slight tech
nicaI errors in the admission Of testi-
mony and in the charge to the jury
the case was remanded to the cir
cult court for re-trial. The interpre-
tation which had been placed on the
statute by the court, however, rem
dered further litigation useless, and
the two defendandts plead guilty and
each was fined $50 and half the costs.
The case for Nowack & Meyer was
defended by the manufacturers who
wanted to make test case of it.

VARIED TELEPHONE SERVICE

Since the telephone came into almost
universal use one of the hardest prob
lens the Bell people have had to solve
is how to provide each telephone user
with exactly the service best suited to
his needs, all things considered. The
Wisconsin Telephone Company has
many kinds Of service-One to meet the
requirements of the very large user,
another for the very small user, and
others for each of the different classes
of subscribers that come between the
two extremes There are special lines
and party lines; private branch eX
changes and extension sets; business
service and residence service; farmers
lines, public pay stations, and so on.
When a person subscribes for tele-
phone service for the first time it is
quite likely that he does not know eX
actly what he ought to take in order to
meet his needs at once satisfactorily and
economically. Mistakes made through
lack of knowledge or miscOnceptiOn in
such circumstances have sometimes
caused dissatisfaction which the COM
pany was not responsible for and
would have prevented if it could have
done so. The company is particularly
anxious that its patrons should have
the kind of service best adapted to
their individual requirements, and is
only too glad to put at the public's els
posal it's expert knowledge gathc -ud
from years of experience.

DOINGS TUESDAY,
Barley Elevator in Operation

The barley elevator of the Water
town Grain company, which was re
moved from West Main street, near
the North Western railroad, to the
faCt Of Rock street at the terminus
u the North Western railroad spur
ira K, vas started up today. The
elevator was partially remOdelled and
new machinery OF up to date pattern

I t. the work Of handling the large
amount Of barley received each sea
son at this plant. The elevator has
been placed on permanent founda-
tons and the approaches to the I'M
loading bin are graded so that ii is
an easy matter for farmers to unload
their grain, while there is ample
yard room to care a large number of
teams in the busy season without any
danger of horses becoming frightened
at passing street cars or trains. 1t
is located in a central portion of the
city, easily accessible to the farmer
from all directions.
The capacity of the elevator is
DU,DUO DuOlClO anu Tic dDiOullL Vi Dali
ley handled during the season runs
well up into six figures. An elevator
at Clyman with a capacity of 5000
bushels is also owned by the Water
town Grain company, which is officer
ed with H. Wertheimer, president,
and Oscar E. Wertheimer, secretary
and treasurer. The product Of the
Watertown Grain company finds a
ready market in Cincinnati, Louis
vile, Chicago, ST Louis, Kansas City
and other points, and the grain is
supplied from a territory within a
radius Of fifteen miles of Watertown,
besides a considerable amount of bar
ley which is shipped from Minnesota.
A twenty horsepower electric mo-
tor furnishes the power for operating
the elevator while a two horsepower
motor is used Tor loading the grain
into cars for shipment. This is done
by means of a patent loading device
which is simple in operation. In the
basement is placed the conveyOrs
which feed the elevators which in
turn carry the grain to the bins
above. The electric motor and other
necessary machinery is also placed
in the basement which has a cement
floor. The cleaning machinery is on
the ground floor while the grain bins
tower above. The elevator is in
charge of William Nickels, who looks
after the work of taking in and handl
ing the grain, while the offices of the
company are at BIT Main street

Monthly Fair

The monthly stock fair held today
drew a large number of farmers to
the city as we'll as people from near
by towns, bent on doing shopping.
The November fair under favorable
conditions is considered the best of
the year by the local merchants as
many winter wants are supplied at
this time.
Prices for horses were lower than
at the October fair, but buyers say
they are still too high in view of the
prices in the larger cities. There
were many offerings. Garden herbs
and truck was in demand. Onions
sold at 80 cents to 81 a bushel, and
cabbages brought 4 cents for small
size. A large number of live ROSTERS
were offered for sale, prices averag-
ing about IS cents each for certain
strains. Young pigs sold at $3.50 to
$500, according to size.
