Do You Approve of Business
Enterprise2

Perhaps there are times when you
feel that some of the business men of
the city are not progressive enough.
Ingrained in your nature is an admi-
ration for the hustler" for the per-
son who does things who improves
whatever he touches. You admire
the merchant who, in brief space,
takes a moribund store and makes it
glow with life credit to the city.
You are sure that, if we had more
such men, the city would benefit
amazingly.
A careful observer once noted the
coincidence that most large cities
were located on the banks Of rivers.
1t is equally certain that most large
stores "happen" to be enterprisng
advertisers.
In fact aggressive advertising is the
one infallible test Of enterprise in a
merchant. 1t stamps him progressive
-alive-wise. All other "signs of
life" about store are misleading if
a store is not aggresisvely advertised.
The merchant knows this.
This editorial is to urge all those peo-
pie who believe in progressiveness,
in enterprise to be consistent to pat
ronize the progressive and enterpris-
ing stores. The safe test is the
stores advertising. You can buy ad-
vertised things and know that you
are helping to make enterprise worth
while and know too that you are saw
ing money for yourself. You can buy
of the non advertising merchant if you
want to encourage and reward non
progressiveness in business as we'll as
to run the risk of securing for your
self very doubtful bargain. Pro-
gressive people should patronize pro-
gressive merchants.

THE VENEZUELAN DICTATOR

Don Cipriano Castro, known by his enemies
as the Andrean cattle thief and by his friends
as the president of Venezuela and the champion
of Venezuela for Venezuelans, is now in the
international limelight, having recently aroused
the ire of doughty Holland, which country may
administer wholesome punishment with the
Dutch wooden shoe before she is done with the
irascible little South American upstart.
Ten years ago, when the present dictator OF
Venezuela, who so often before. as to-day, has
succeeded in endangering the peace OF the
world, was 40 years of age, there were at least
five score selfstyled generals in the republic
more prominent than he. Ignoring the etiquette
of the revolutionary game, by assassinations ex-

Thought Girls Are Being Held for
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT Is Hfnted.
The towns of Somers an6 Paris, in
kenoSha county, are greatly wrought up
over the alleged kidnapping of Gertrude
and Dorothy Biehn, daughters of Jacob
Riehn. & farmer, who disappeared from
their home at 10 o'clock on a recent night
and of whom no trace can be found. Mr..
and Mrs. Biehn had retired an hour be-
fore the disappearance of the girls, and
had left them sitting in a hammock on
the lawn. 1t is declared that closed
carriage pulled up to the house and that
a man was heard to demand the two
young women to enter the carriage, which
they did. The case is the more mysteri-
Gus on account of the fact that no motive
can be found for the alleged kidnapping.
The father of the girls came to Kenosha
and appealed to the county judge for aid
in locating his daughters, but the judge
declared that he could do nothing in the
matter. and Biehn sought an attorney to
secure the service of detectives The
Biehn girls are aged IA an II years.
Their mother died several years ago, and
the father a year ago married Mrs. Anna
Schenkenberg of Milwaukee. During the
last few days warning was sent to the
stepmother that plan was being hatch
ed to kidnap them, and the parents kept
a close watch. Il am not certain that the
girls We're taken away in a carriage Mon
day night and that they did not leave
their home of their own volition," says
Mrs. Biehn. 1--WE believe they have been
taken by some relative who has secreted
them. I do not know what the motive
could be in spiriting the two girls away"
As Mr.. Biehn is wealthy many people in
the neighborhood believe the girls are be-
ing held for ransom.

Chfca goans Meet Death on Pleasure
Trip on Wisconsin River.
Four Chicagoans who had been spend
ing their summer at the Dells, drowned
in the Wisconsin River when tie launch
in which a party of nine was riding,
was capsized by the swell from an excur-
sion steamer within a few hundred feet
of the dock. Many people on the banks
of the river and on the big railroad bridge
which spans the river here, witnessed the
accident. and although heroic efforts were
made at rescue, only five Of the party
were saved. Those drowned were: Emil
G. Pfeifer, Ralph Pfeiffer, his son, III
years old, Miss Mabel Ward, and Mrs.
Esther Heath, Mrs. Pfeifer and her
daughter Rosalyn, W. G. Heath, Miss
Gertie Ward, sister of Mabel Ward, and
Jacob Writ, owner and pilot Of the
launch, were rescued. The gasoline launch
in which the party was riding was head
ing for the shore when the large excursion
steamer Apollo crossed in front OF It.
The swells from the steamer tossed the
boat around and the pilot lost control.
The boat rapidly filed with water and
sank almost Immediately. Rescuing par
ties put off from shore, but when they
reached the scene of the accident the four
unfortunate victims had sunk to their

Give Pigs Strong Body.

The pig should be taught to rustic
and develop stamina and trait of char
acter and also to make the best Of his
opportunities. By this it is not meant
to starve him, but make him healthy
and vigorous. The highly-coLditioned,
pampered pets that we see at theshows
are fine things to look at but they
would be little practical utility to the
average pork grower who does not find
it profitable to stuff his animals on
high-priced concentrated rations. In
most instances the prize winners at
six months of age are physical wrecks
when yearlings. OF course there is a
great temptation for us to show great,
big, overgrown and highly-ftted pigs
at six months of age. We don't want
some other breeder TO scoop all the
prize money, and there Is always a
demand for that kind of highly-pam-
pered pigs. But the sooner we wake
up to the fact that the grass-grown
pigs are the ones that make the best
breeders the sooner will we be on the
right track to success.

XIII OF the ROosters.

Raising ROSTERS doesn't pay. The
pullets are what we are after, and we
should bend our efforts to raise as
many and as fine pullets as we possibly
can. In most all flocks there are about
90 per cent of young cockerels flying
and scrapping about and eating their
heads off. Now, pullet won't do this,
for she will pay it all back, with
goodly profit as soon as she reaches the
laying age. But the ROSTERS eat and
grow and grow lanky and muscular and
stringy, and when they arrive at 8
months of age they represent very lit
tie, If indeed any more at all, than they
did at weeks in the way Of profit. Be
sides, some die before maturity and are
thereby total loss, although they
passed<the frying size in safety, The
proper thing to do now is to apply the
thinning-out process and get rid Of ali
the ROSTERS, young and old, but very
few of the finest.

Breeding Sheen.

The poorest class of sheep on the
market to-day is the ill-cared-for lot
raised in the agricultural states, says
II. A. Chandler in the Breeders Ga
zette. These breeders, as a rule, use
good rams, but they fall far short of
giving the flock proper attention. The
whole bunch is put in a pasture in
the spring and allowed to remain there
until winter, while with a few hours
work a patch of rape could have been
planted or the fence repaired so they
could have had change of pasture.
Sheep need little attention, the same
as any other stock or business. When
they are well cared for they cap the
climax for profits. Farmers in the
Middle West should breed more regis
tered sheep of the mutton breeds. The
rangemen come East for their rams,
and we should be producing fifty head
where one is raised now.

The woodchuck, sober monk in russell

The dragon-hy athwart the culverkeys
Shall wake his love of things and make
him glad.

GROWING FEELING AGAINST GAMBLING.
By Gov Hughes of New York.

Public gambling Is an unmidgated
evil. It is an evil which thrtves or
has thrived because Of the selfish de-
sire of the luxurious and idle, and
because Of the vain ambitions of
those who want to live without
work. But nothing is more instruc-
tive or encouraging in the history of
the last centuries than the changes
that have been wrought in public
sentiment In regard to this vice.
There was q growing sentiment
that this gambling fever was dan
gerous, that 1t should not be en-
couraged, and that everything must
be done to stop its growth; and 80
