Looking Backward at Life j..

OF doubt and despair The most joyous
moments of life, the high-lights in the

trifies of kindness, fine expressions Of
love. simple tributes of confidence and
trust that make the very heart smile as we

Nature is constantly giving us these
turns in the road to see living in true per-

THE FARMERS WIFE.
What ex-Presidenf Roosevelt Says
About Her.
correct.

What ex-Presidenf Roosevelt Says
About Her.
Ex-President Roosevelt has said that
there is no more important person, meas.
uring her influence upon the life OF the
nation. than the farmers wife. and no
more important home than the farmers
home, and it is of national Importance
that the best be done for both.
Those words should be an incentive to
every farmers wife. She knows her life
to be one of sacrifice; she has willingly
given up educational opportunities, social
| pleasures, conveniences in the home, and
much more, that her children might be
educated tor the hattie of life equal with
the city woman's sons ana daughters. 1t
I is not her husband and sons who inhabit
iails, nor is it farmers wives and daugh-
tiers who are seeking divorces from their
| husbands. Every woman who has lived
on an isolated farm for fifty years deserves
pension just as much as any man who
ever went to war, for one sacrifice was as
great as the other.
The beauties of the American dollars
are to many people greater than the songs
| OF birds, the hum OF bees. pure air and
beautiful sunshine, hence the crowding
of the cities to the neglect Of the farms.
If farmer has good wife, he can, by
paying strict attention to business, live
better and far happier than in town.
The grange, the farmers organization,
is said to be the great educating force for
the making Of more liberal, earnest and
| intelligent womanhood of the country.
1t is trying to develop broader senti-
ment that shall make the farm home more
| attractive. If a general system of land
scape gardening could be conducted, util-
izing the native shrubs and flowers. the
farm value would be increased at very
small expense.
| No words can httingly describe the
power of beautiful home. Once begin to
beautify the farm home and you have more
respect for it and your boys and girls will
love and reverence it and be stronger. purel
and better. The success of the farm does
not depend any more upon the crops
which it produces than it does upon the
intelligence, contentment and Happiness,
of its people.
The New Highlander, no matter how
much he may be Westernized or where h,
has travelled, keeps an unexpected fund o.
sentiment for the New England home
which is not excelled anywhere in tn,
county. We have some of the larges
manufacturing establishments in tn,
world and no finer fruits or vegeta bles ar,
raised anywhere. An exposition O
worlds fair showing the resources of New
England would cost money and effort, bu
would not the increased prosperity b,
worth it? We have abandoned farms ant
manufacturing plants which should b.
utilized to produce the things we consum
instead OF paying transportation com
panies to bring them to us.
! The greatest products OF New England
, are not from her shops, factories or mer
camille establishments, from acres unde
: glass or wide stretches of country, blu
rather her splendid men and women VIII
, have gone into all sections OF the countr
with that typical education-one OF tn
leading principles Of which is ssobedienc
to law is liberty.

When looked upon from the surrounding
cliffs this color is OF the deepest possible
blue, except close to the shore, where II
blends into rich turquoise. Seen from its
surface, the remarkable blue deepens and
assumes brighter hue.
Usually in the early hours Of the morn
ing the surface of the lake is like glass
and in its depths is reflected every object,
which the earth and sky contain. Al
night, when this condition prevails and
the moon is full, the view that is reflected
in the stilled depths is beautiful beyond
description, as well as awe-iDspiring
There can be seen, more clearly than in
a mirror. the milky way with its myriad
of stars unknown to a less clear atmo-
sphere, the consultations which shine
with brightness undreamed of in other
climes, and the moon, which seems bigger
and more brilliant than anywhere else,
and all the other glories OF the heavens.
The region about the lake is full of his
toric and legendary interest. In the mys-
terious depths of the lake, SO the Indians
believe, dwells the great spirit, and until
recently no Indian dared scarcely look
upon it for fear that the giant craw-fish or
dragon which guarded the great Lao, or
spirit. would, in its wrath, reach up its
arms even to the tops of the cliffs and
drag into the cold depths OF the lake any
who dared to invade its mysterious realm
The lake was discovered fifty years ago

SCHOOL MEETINGS POSTPONED.

Through inadvertency the clerk of

the Third, Fifth and Seventh wards,
failed to post notice of the special
school meeting on the door of the school
house, and consequently the meetings
which were to have been held tonight
had to be postponed, as the require

Mayor Grotfman learned of the clerk g
oversight he issued the following notice
Whereas special meeting of School

HOLDS LAW CONSTITUTIONAL.

BY affirming the decision of the low
er court in the case of A w. Starks of
Milwaukee, the Wisconsin Supreme
court holds that the Sunday closing law
for barber shops is constitutional.
Announcement of the decision came
from Madison Tuesday morning. A
to keep open Sundays, but the Milwau.
kee branch of the Wisconsin BARRIERS
association will now again assume the
aggressive and close them.
The Stark case has been wathced with
interest ever since the organization turn
ed its guns upon the proprietor of the
Plankington house shop. The associa-
ton caused Stark to be arrested and the
defendant obtained an injunction re-
straining it, the district attorney and
sheriff from enforcing the newly made
law and making prosecution.
The three defendants in the iDjunc.
tional action moved for vacation of
the order and Judge Bnrnell, Oshkosh,
was called to hear arguments. He dis.
solved the injunction on the ground
that the law was constitutional.
Stark, upon the decision of Judge
Burnell, appealed to the Supreme court
and obtained stay of proceedings on
the part of the Milwaukee complainants
pending the action of the higher tribu-
al. By affirming the action of the Osh
kosn Judge, the law of the last legisla.
ture is held constitutional

MEETING OF THE H0RTI-
CULTURAL SOCIETY.

Reinforced by the presence of F. Crane
field secretary of the state horticultural
society, members of the Manitowoc Hor.
ticultural society which held meeting
in the city have every reason to feel
that their gathering was prolific of good
results and was interesting to the large
attendance present. Mr.. Cranetield de.
livered the principal address. There
were papers on various subjects and a
general discussion of topics germane to
the meeting In addition samples of
the different varieties of fruits princi-
pally apples, were on exhibition, and
their good points and faults were discus
sed at length. Fruit for commercial
and domestic purposes received II gener'
al discussion and there was not person
present who did not receive some point
ers that will be of immeasurable benefit
to him in his own orchard
Mr.. Cranefield who has been here so
frequently and who has grown to know
the local growers personally gave fine
address in the afternoon. He announced
at the opening of his talk that he would
continue to drill into the assemblage in
the same manner as he has on SO many
occasions here, the possibilities that ex-
ist for fruit growing in this county and
how neglected appears to be this indust-
Il, IN ,tl> ,rtlt, ,nIt
proved so profitable He showed what
had been done in counties where the op-
portuntes were not so good as here and
gave data on the growing especially OF
apples in Rchland, Sauk, Dane, Chip
pewa and Waukesha In some instanc-
es orchard owners made as high as $500
per acre gross from their trees. Such
an opportunity lies here declared the
speaker The Duchesse, McMahan and
Wealthy were declared to be the pest
apples suited for the territory.
Fruit spraying, cultivation and like
topics were discussed by Mr.. Cranefield
at some length He said that there
ought not to be an orchard planted
which the owner did not intend to cul-
tivate. To grow apples or any other
fruit, for that matter, successfully, the
owner had to cultivate the trees. Sue
cess along this lire was contingent al
most entirely upon this and spraying
for the insects. Along these lines, the
speaker dwelt at length upon the best So
luton to combat the pests. -Mapitowoc
