dead sore on Lady Meddleheimer
and she on us. We hadn't thought
of her, and now here she was to
spy on us and give us dead away
to everybody as fourflushing about
going on trip. 1t nearly made
us sick. There wasn't nothing to
do but stick it out and not even
make a noise that would get her
to nosing in. Even If we'd pre-

have something on us to talk about
for year.

THE 20 PER Gent LAW
SUSTAINED BY COURT
Democratic Candidates Must
Run as Independents.
Cannot Have Their Names Certified 10
Appear Under Party Heading
on Election Ballots.

With two justices, WInslow and
T1mlin, dissenting, the Wisconsin
supreme courU has decided that the
so-called go Per Cent Law" passed
at the last session of the Legislature,
providing that where any political
party casts at the primaries less
than one-fifth Of its party vote, as
shown at the last general election;
the candidates Of such party cannot
have the names of it's candidates
appear under the regular party
heading on the official ballots at the
NOvem Der election.
In 81 counties of the state, of
which Grant is one, this will mean
that the democratic nominees will
be compelled to have their names
appear as Independent candidates,
which will lead to more or less con-
fusion and probable loss of votes to
such candidates. In Grant county
every county officer failed to re-
ceive the necessary 20 per cent, and
also the legislative candidate in the
first assembly district, but in this
assem- bly, district, the second, Nc
Spaden, of Boscobel. received a
trife more than the required % per
cent, and it is understood that his
name can GO under the party head
ing.

A Narrow Escape.

The other evening Mrs. John Petty
went to attend her fve-year old

Lucinda picked Stella up and put her

Mrs. Petty ran out and snatched the

very happy one and blessed with four

for friends. The welfare of her
children and a good moral training

her children might stand as men and
women in the church and society, and
for the better life and world.
About year ago her health began to
fail but she would always be work
ing, till this last summer, when she
did all very much, but it seemed as
though there was hopes Of recovery.
The load of pain was borne with pa
thence and quietude until last Thurs
day morning, Oct. 18th, when the
death angel called her away. She
had reached the age Of so years, NO.,

two daughters, two sons, one sister

JERSEY BREEDERS
FORM ASSOCIATION
Meeting For Purpose Held Here
Last Saturday.
Association Startes Out With a Charter
Membership of Fifteen Progress
sive Farmers.

A very successful meeting was held
by the Jersey Breeders Saturday after
noon in the rooms of the Country Club
Hon. C. Il. Baxter on behalf of
Mayor Bennett and the citizens Of
Lancaster welcomed the Breeders to
the city with few appropriate re-
marks. He said in part that there
was great need Of improvement in
dairy methods. We needed more
milk and cleaner milk, better cows
and cleaner, more sanitary barns and
surroundings and hoped that the
Jersey Breeders association might &C.
complish sumo of these things.
Prof. Humphrey of the Department
of Annual Husbandry of the Univer-
sity next outlined the work of
organization. He told what was
done in the station herd and what
other associations were doing He
told of the great need of having good
cows and good methods or it would be
a question Of keeping cows instead Of
having the COWS keep you.
Mr.. Harvill read a constitution and
by laws he had prepared and which
was accepted. The name adopted was
that of The Grant County Jersey
Breeders Association. The object to
promote the interests Of the Jersey
cow. Any farmer may become a
member who will agree to use only a
pure bred Jersey sire at the head of
his herd and the payment of a small
fee.
It was moved and seconded and
carried unanimously that vote of
thanks be extended to the Country
Club for their kindness, also to Prof.
Humphrey.
The association starts out with a
membership Of fifteen charter mem
bers. The fact that everyone seems to
be enthusiastic and the great field in
which to preach the Jersey gosple
makes the outlook at this time very
bright. Jersey COWS or grades always
demonstrate their ability to make
good. At auction sales it is usual
that any kind of a Jersey COW brings
the top of the sales. Now when men
ara so anxious to buy Jersey cows
why will they not breed them them
selves. This is the work the Associa-
tion has laid out for itself; to educate
the farmers and dairyman to the
value OF Jersey cattle.
The following officers were chosen
and the meeting aujourned

been called to the fact that it was
extremely dangerous.
After several witnesses had been
sworn the defendant attorney moved
that the case be non suited. The

Apples AS Cure For Intemper-

The forbidden fruit of the Garden of
Eden which brought sin into the world is
now looked on as the means of driving
sin out of the world No less an august
body than the Iowa State Horticultural
Society is standing Sponsor for the move
ment to remove the stigma from the
apple.
When Eve, sorelv tempted, partook of
the luscious fruit which she had been for
hidden to touch, she all unwittingly cast
a blight on the apple which centuries of
cultivation and two national shows at
Spokane have been unable to remove.
1t has remained for an apple-loving
country doctor to discover that not only
can the world be fed until it has secured
the necessary calories of energy, but that

| can be eradicated from the human body

The use of apples as an article OF diet
will very much diminish, decrease and
ultimately abate the appetite for alcoholic
stimulants, declares DR. Samuel Bailey
Of Mt. Ayr, Iowa. That this is fact
could be proved in many instances if a
little care, caution and vigilance were
taken to thoroughly investigate condl-
tons. AS a rule, tie habitual user Of
alcoholic stimulantS is rarely lover or
consumer OF apples. There seems to be
a peculiar combination in apples, in the
acid in them, or in the peculiar chemical
combinations of the apple, that allays the
irritation or so-called appetite, produced
by the use of liquor. am also of the
opinion that the keen appetite for tobacco
IS limited by the use of apples. | an

is lover of whisky and is in condition

Didn't Lose Her .

A young man was timidly counting a
pretty, young girl. One afternoon, in
the garden, he scraped up courage
enough to ask in a tremulous whisper
for a kiss.
"a kissp' she said. "You ask me for
kiss? Now, applied to the hand kiss
signifies respect. On the forehead it
denotes friendship. Upon the lips it
denotes all things-or nothing" She
paused pens'vely, and then went on:
you may, since you wish 1t, kiss me.
You may express yourself in one kiss.
Proceed. "
The timid young man, red and con-
fused, pondered. 81 must not lose her!'
he muttered to himself "Where, then
shall kiss herr"
His meditatons were interrupted by a
pretty whistle. 1t was his divinity, her
red mouth puckered into the shape of a
rosebud, her hat pulled down over her
eyes, hiding her forehead completely,
and her hands were thrust up to the
wrists in the pockets OF her jacket
