Naval Base Ball Trophy.

At the suggestion Of the commander-in-
chief of the Atlantic battleship fleet, the
Navy Department has decided to resent
to the United States National Museum in
this city the handsome gold cup won by
the base ball team of the battleship Ken
lucky at Annoy, China. while a portion of
the fleet was there on the trip around the
world. The cup is highly decorated and
is typical of Chinese art. 1t is valued at
about $3.50. 1t was deemed inadvisable
to retain the valuable cup in the feet and
the suggestion that it be placed in the
National Museum was approved by Sec
retary Meyer. In that institution it will
serve as a record of the kentucky's base
ball team and a memento of the cruise

The target practice will continue for
several weeks being a combination of
spring and fall practice. and during this
work the fleet will probably move on the
Virginia and North Carolina capes In
search of rough water. Reports indicate
that not more than half of the ships can
leave their yards even by June ~. owing
to this delay 1t is considered doubtfui
whether much work OF value 10 the nee. j..

Anent Government Building

Last yesr, the sum of sos, 600 was
app opriated for the erection OF
government building in this city, the
site having already bsen secured and
paid for out of previous approprla-
tion. The buildings were removed
from the site leaving holes in the
ground and debris which is not very
pleasing to the sight, especially on
one Of the best corners IN the city.
1t was expected, that work would
have been begun early last spring on
the foundation of the building and the
superstructure rushed with all possible
dispatch. Nothing has been done and
not likely to be this season. There
ar. many conjectures as to the cause
of the delay which may be right or
wrong, but one thing is evident, that
for some reason the authorities at
Washington, D. c., are manifesting a
disposition to let the people of this
city become tired waiting. If the
delay is occasioned for political
reason, it will not deceive ANYONE
and if for any other reason, it will be
made known in time.

Give the Farm a Name

An exchange in discussing the subject
says: 'It will pay any farmer to make
his farm attractive. 1t is a valuable as
set. The man who goes out to buy a
farm is pretty likely to estimate it's
worth to considerable extent upon its
physical appearance. In the meantime
you are respected in the community be-
cause you have farm house and
grounds that people like to look at. And
choose name for your farm and have a
neat sign or two displayed to advantage
where the passer can readily see it. In
a great many ways it is a good invest
ment to have distinctive name for your
farm" Then get some stationery and
print the name of your farm on the letter
head and envelopes. 1t will give char
acter to your possessions and help in
many ways"
1t certainly gives the farm more char
acter individually and is more easily
identified by strangers who may wish to
visit it. And then it would not be bad
idea for the owner to have stationery
giving the name of the farm in the letter
heads and envelopes which would give it
a dignifed, business appearance.

Things to Think About

The writer has been thinking and has
come to the conclusion that the people
of this city are mighty easily imposed
upon and where Ignorance is bliss it's
fully to be wise" If correctly informed,
the Southern Wisconsin Power Co. erect
ed its towers across the city before it re-
ceived a franchise. Its conveying cable
crosses twenty-eight streets endangering
life and property-and what does the city
get for the privilege? Not cent. The
mayor and aldermen we're an easy lot
when the franchise was granted. 1t be-
gins to look as il outside corporations
now owned Watertown and that the in
habitants were to be exploited for the
benefit of a few who have been getting
good deal for nothing. 1t might be a
good thing for the members of the cOun-
Gil to sit down and see ''where they are
at before giving away franchises and
then do something for the people as the
corporations can take care Of themselves.

Great Wisconsin Farm Paper

No agricultural paper in the United
States has made such remarkable pro-
gress during the past year as has been
shown by The Wisconsin Farmer,
published weekly at Madison. Every
department of the paper has been
made brighter, fresher, more attrac-
tive. and more representative of the
agricultural, horticultural, dairying,
stock raising and other farm interests
of the great state of Wisconsin. The
Wisconsin Farmer is especially surong
in its editorials. which cover every
phase of farm life and thought in this
state. It has, also, a large corps of
special contributors from the expert
ment stations of the N0rtheasu and
among the successful farmers, dairy.
men and other specialists in agricul-
tural and semi-agriculturlal lines.
1t maintains, in addition, to an ex-
tremely able editorial department,
special departments devoted to dairy
ing, horticulture, poultry, sheep,
handy farm devices, farm law, veter-
mary matters, current events, home
and Sunday school. Its home depart
m.nt, edited by q lady who is famil-
lar by experience in farm life, is an
exceedingly valuable feature. The
paper is attractively illustrated and
being edited by bona fide farmers,
who live on and operate their own
farms, is intensely practical The
subscription price is $l.0O a year.

pany, Tenney Block, Madison, Wis.

clubbing rate for the Wisconsin

FiQhtinq the White Plague

The Wisconsin AntiTuberculosis
association has added another unique
feature to the splendid educatlona
exhibit which is now touring the
northern part uf the state.
For the purpose of getting the
message that consumption is both
curable and preventable hume to those
who need it most, the association has
decided to add materially to the
attractiveness of the exhibit. A large
graphophone, the largest and most
perfect concert instrument obtainable
has been purchased and is now IN
operation.
Every evening and during each day
the demonsrator in charge OF the
exhibit, gives an open-air concert of
band and other instrumental and vocal
numbers, interspersed at intervals by
very snort, striking talks On the sub
ject of tuberculosis which point out
the dangers of splitting on sidewalks
and in public places and the folly OF
delaying the systematic out door
life when the signs of disease first
show themselves.
Those in charge pf the educational
work of the association appreciate the
fact that the individuals who are
willing to study and read are the ones
who least need the assistance OF the
educational campaign. The exhibit
itself interests and attracts them, and
the association has certainly hit upon
a happy method by the graphophone,
of reaching the large class who prob
ably would not otherwise visit the
exhibit.
At Amigo recently they not only
packed the store b1ilding where the
exhibit was, but a crowd stood in the
street in the rain listening to the
voice of the machine as it reiterated
the tuberculosis slogan:
"Don't be- careless sp tier.

A Hint or Two

Ghe attention of the editor of the
Lea Ter has been called to the necessity
of sidewalk on the sOuthside of the
road to the main entrance and west gate
to Oak Hill cemetery. Our Outdoor Art
association might take the matter up
and should there not be sufficient funds
in its treasury, borrow the requisite
amount from the cemetery association
which has quite surplus in its treasury.
Then, it would not bea bad idea if the
Outdoor Art association cause trees to
be set out along the road to the cemetery
so as to make the drive or walk to the
silent city Of the dead" one of comfort
as we'll as duty to loved ones resting
there.
