Let the Band Play

Arrangements are we'll on the the way
for the people Of this city to enjoy a
wholesome recreation, not only in the
matter of free parks, walks and bathing
but also the wholesome diversion of
listening to free brass band concerts in
comfort and amid beautiful surround
ings. Director Wheeler has conferred
with the mayor relative to this innOya-
tiOn. Perhaps, band concert may be
arranged, if the Park Commissioners
consent, in the City park in the First
ward during next Sunday afternoon at
such hours so as not to disturb any di-
vine service Of the city. At this partlc-
ular time, Oh holidays and weekday
evenings, it would be boon to the
greater mass of people as means OF re-
cuperation Of body and soul.
The New World is surely moving: Be-
hold the city of Chicago !! Besides It's
maintenance of hundreds of play
grounds, of parks, walks and drives, 1t
now has the most superb, green and well
furnished parks under the very shadows
of the stacks of "Packingdom" where
the workingmen most need such bless
ings and they are most numerous. That
city furnishes to children in such parks,
besides games and sports, ice cream at
actual cost and any child may buy dish
of the frozen delicacy' for the wee sum
of a nickel with five spoons to supply
little brothers and sisters, to wnom the
nickie is as big as dollar. Parents
may have the use, for private parties, of
elegantly furnished quarters and all ed
ibles at actual cost, for such festive occa-
sions.
Just little longer lease on life and
we will see the millennium.

Barley Contest at County Fair

A barley growing contest will be
one of the features arranged in con-
nection with the Watertown Inter
County fair. The agricultural depart
ment at Madison has furnished the
seed for the contest, which will be
along lines similar to that of the corn
contest last year and which proved
so successful. The object of these
contests is to furnish the farmers
with new and pedigree seed. Last
year there more than 25O entries in
the corn contest and it is hoped that
the young farmers will show the same
interest in this contest. There will be
two first prizes, one for threSher
grain and one for sheaf grain. These
four prizes will consist of a week S
course at Madison, for which the fair
association will pay railroad fare and
other actual expenses of the winners.
Last season this scholarship was won
by Arthur Ziemer who wrote Secretary
Mulberger that he was well pleased
with the course and that Prof. Moore
took great interest in the boys and
showed the boys how to become scien-
tifc farmers. One quart of seed for
this contest may be obtained from
Simon Molzahn or the Watertown
Grain Co. Following are the rules of
the contest:
The contest will be open to boys
and girls from ten to twenty-one years
of age.
The barley used will be the Wiscon-
sin Pedigree furnished free by the
Wisconsin Experiment Station.
The barley can either be sOwn in
drills or broadcast, and one quart of
seed will be given each contestant
to SOW at least one square rod.
In the early spring as soon as the
ground is sufficiently dry to work
well, have the plot thoroughly disced
or spaded. A fine surface should be
secured with small tooth harrow or
garden rake. If the barley is planted
in drills the rows should be about
eight inches apart and the barley ker-
nels dropped about two inches apart
in the row, covered from one to two
inches deep. If sown broadcast, it
should be scattered evenly over the
ground and thoroughly raked in.
Barley requires a rich, well sub
dued soil; it does not do well on sod
or newly cleared land. Land that has
grown corn, potatoes or vegetables the
previous year, preferable.
Barley can be sown as early as any
of the small grains, but it should not
be put in until the ground works well.
One quart of kernel barley consti-
tutes kernel sample and exhibited in
the straw should be at least four
inches in diameter.

CONSUMPTION Evils

Unusual interest has been aroused by
the action of the Racine Wis., common
council in granting the Racine Anti-Tu-
berculOsis society permission to erect a
hospital for advanced cases Of cOnsump-
tion, to be maintained in connection
with the existing isolation hospital.
Outside of Milwaukee, Racine is the first
city in Wisconsin to provide hospital
for advanced cases, but this step is In
process of formation at Madison, La
Crosse, KenOsha, Oshkosh and other
large cities.
The Survey, in other words getting
the facts concerning tuberculosis, begun
by the Wisconsin Anti-TuberculOsls as
sOciatiOn, is meeting with gratifying
support all over the state. although the
investigation is Ouls in its infancy. All
cities having visiting nurses associa-
tiOns are starting Investigations with
the assistance of the state association.
The work is progressing in Milwaukee
with much greater facility than ex-
pected, under existing circumstances
and as soon as the survey is we'll under
way in the metropolis, Miss Kathrene
Gedney, graduate Of the State university,
who is in charge of the work, Will start
through the state, which will be fully
covered as speedily as possible.
Under the direction of Mrs. Hooper,
one of the leading members of the
WOmen's club at Oshkosh, the conditions
are being investigated in that city and
Miss Gedney has been called upon to as
sist. All deaths from consumption in
Oshkosh will be located on large map;
the conditions surrounding each case
ascertained, and steps formulated to pre-
vent further progress of the disease.
Meanwhile existing cases will be taken
care of.
A bureau of information has been es-
tablished by the association at Milwau-
kee and is ready for all inquiries and in
formation. The general offices are in
the Goldsmith building, Milwaukee.

Will Assist Towns

The letter published herewith has re-
Gently been sent to all town chairmen
in the state. 1t contains an offer OF
assistance which all towns having
roads or bridges to build this season
should take advantage of without
fail 1t is beginning to be recognized
by everybody that if we are to get
the best results for our money spent
or roads and bridges we should do the
work according TO the best knowledge
of the times The road building meth
ods of our fathers have proved a fail
ure when modern conditions must be
met With the present high cost OF
everything we buy it behooves us to
get the most for our money. We can
not go on building expensive roads IN
such a manner that they last but
short time; and when we build
bridge it should be of the most sub
stantial, permanent character so that
it won't wash out with the freshets it
is subjected to- Every new bridge
should have a concrete floor, SO ex-
pensive replanking will be unneces-
sary. The Highway division of the
Geological Survey has saved many
towns considerable money on roads
and bridges. Their last report gives
picture of a fine bridge in Barron
county on which the town chairman
states they saved the towns $500.
The good roads about the state which
they have assisted in building are
highly pleasing to the communities
where they have been constructed.
With such a record of helpfulness and
money saving as this division has it
would seem that every chairman who
does not ask for their free assistance
when ne has road or bridge to build
is doing himself and his town a great
injustice Following is the letter:
The season for actual road and
bridge construction is upon us and
the Highway Division of the Geolog-
ical Survey takes this occasion to no
tify you that its services are available
to any town which has any road or

Oh! What Fools We MOrtdlS Be

Sunday afternoon, young man whose
Dame it is unnecessary to mention, as he
is quite sensitive ordinarily, started out
in the afternoon to have good time

of the livery stables in the city In which
he drove from one saloon to another un
til he became exceedingly tired, so much
so that he finally fell asleep in one If
the saloons unmindful of his rig which
was hitched in front of the wet parlor to
! which he had sought rest and sleep. A
couple of his crOnies then took the rig
and started for ride, stopping Occa-
sionally, now and then, to wet their
parched throats. After awhile, he who
had hired the rig awoke and going out
! upon the street made the discovery that
his rig had disappeared and rushing to
telephone called up the livery stable
man only to learn that the rig had not
been returned to the barn, and then
| there was trouble and it was reported
| that the pulice were notified that the rig
| had been stolen. About this time the
crOnies returned with the rig and they
were too full (?) for utterance, and the
team was sent to the barn after which,
it took half of an hour to make salts
factory explanations to the officers.
Along Toward 8 o'clock, the subject of
our story was found sitting upon box
| in the rear of a saloon and being aroused
and asked relative to the whereabouts of
his comrades, replied. Dead and that
