you know what a woman she is for every new thing that comes up. When 1t came out In the papers that New Thought was the real thing for every weakness of body and mind she got a lot of books and read them morning, noon and night and tried the treatment, or whatever they call 1t, on her husband who is a good man but he will take his drink of liquor any time he gets the notion. There was something wrong, for 1t didn't take with Mir. Jeffreys, but when she heard of the music cure for boys she decided that she would use 1t as a means of pulling her little Edwin as a brand from the burn ing. She thought 1t over and finally de- cided that she should have the base drum from the village band and the cymbals to kind of tighten up the tones. and she brought Mir JefRreys' accordion that he used to play at dances from the garret and when Edwin did anything wrong she would rig Mir. Je1reys up with the drum on his back and the accordion in his hands and she would put the boy on the best chair in the sitting room and would take the cymbals herself and ham mer away, Mir. Jehreys wearing himself out and the boy sitting there grinning for dear life at all the antics. Of course, it didn't work with the boy, but Mir. Jeffreys began to think his wife was go- ing crazy and one night he got real mad and threw the accordion out of the win dow and gave Edwin good whipping. Mrs. Jeffreys has never said anything about music cure since.
 Old fashioned folks won't pay much at- tenfion to such a fool idea right away. They will continue to stick to the slipper and the birch rod as they know from ex- perieice the proper quantities to ad- minister.

 The figures used in determining the value of turpentine and rosin for the two years are based on the market quotations at Savannah, the recognized naval stores of the United States. The average price received for turpentine manufactured in 1908 was $0.3S57 per gallon, and in 1907 was S0.5349 per gallon. The average price received for rosin in 1908 was $4.14 per barrel and in 1907 was s4.33 per barrel.
 The number of operations for the two years were distributed among the eight states as follows:

While these figures show an in crease of 2,4Os,2OO gallons of turpen- tine and 2SS.962 barrels of rosin for 1908 over 1907, there was a marked de-
 crease in the value of the product for 109S as compared with the preceding year. This was due to the great de- crease in the prevailing prices for tur- pentine for 1908 and the slight de- crease in the prevailing prices for rosin during the same year. The value

The increase in production for 1908 over 1907 was due to more favorable weather and labor conditions than to increased operations. But few Oper- ators increased their operations, owing to the disorganized condition of the market at the time operations com menced. Figures upon which the re- port of production for the two years

BIG SIOUX ON RAMPAGE,

The Big Sioux river went on ram
page near Vermillion last week and
destroyed hundreds of acres of grow

it does in this county. The Vermillion

the Big Sioux inundated much of the
valley lands last week, running hun
dreds of acres of growing grain. E.
w. Sargent of this city, who is an
extensive owner Of land, both bench

NO MERIT IN CONTENTION.

There is really no real merit in the
contention that the good roads move
ment is in the interests of the auto
mobilists. OF course the owners of
automobiles will get the benefit of
good roads, but the man who will
actually derive the profit from the in
vestment is the farmer This is as
easily demonstrated as the simplest
mathematical proposition. In time,
horseflesh and comfort he will derive
dozen times over all the good roads
will cost him. 1t is too mistake to
assume that the cost will all fall upon
the farmer. Every bill for good roads
yet considered has provided that all
property shall equally bear the
burden. That is the city property is
taxed to keep up the local streets and
in addition carries its full share OF
the general road tax.-Canton News.

A COMING ATHLETE.

The Milwaukee Evening Wisconsin
of July has the following to say of
the arrival of a son at the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. w. J. juneau:
athletic scouts of the middle west
ern colleges have turned their eyes
toward West Allis, and incidentally
the Beta Theta Pi chapter of the
University of Wisconsin is polishing
up shining pledge button, for on
July 4, in fitting celebration of the
great national holiday, there arrived
at the home of William J. Juneau on
Seventy-second avenue, a bouncing 10
pound lad, who in the three days of
his existence, has given promise of
outdoing his famous father in the
realm Of sport
"The little tot lying in the cradle
at the Juneau home doesn't know of
the distinguished line Of ancestry
back of him, but some day, when he
grows older, glance at the Univer-
sity of Wisconsin ANIMALS for the
years '99, 90, '01 and '02 will tell
him that his proud dad was one of
the greatest football players who ever
attended the Badger university in the
palmy days when Phil Kings warriors
swept everything before them ON the
western gridiron
Reading back further in the his
tory of Wisconsin, and particularly
that of Milwaukee, the lately arrived
Juneau will discover that his grand
father, Joseph Juneau, who first saw
the light of day in June, 1887, was
according to chronology, the third
white child born in Milwaukee. Jo-
seph Juneau was born on the site of
the present Milwaukee postoffice and
has been resident of the city all
his life. His father, Peter Juneau,
was a brother of Solomon juneau,
first mayor of the Cream city.
Mrs. William j. Juneau was, be-
fore her marriage, Miss Mona Muir
ply of Brookings, s. D., where "Bill'
Juneau first met her while he was
director of athletics at the South Da-
kota college. Mr.. Juneau is, at the
present time. head of the athletic de-
partment at Marquette university"

Ellmurry, in which Cole sued for pay
ment of the PAGER, Canute Mix, which

and he was given a verdict for $242.
Canute was one of string of horses
which McElmurry bought from Cole,
and he claimed that Cole guaranteed
the horse to be sound whereas he
was found to be afflicted with a spawn,
rendering him worthless for racing
purposes. The jury seemed to be of
gain in horse trade, and gave iudg-
ment for Cole. In connection with
this case it developed that the Brook
ings county bar has q spring poet of
no mean ability in the person of Judge
Alexander of Elkton. While listening
to the evidence the Judge dashed off
the following lines, which so pleased
Judge Marquis when shown him that
he ordered the verse Incorporated in
