Binder Irvine Issue Discussed at the
Farmers Picnic.


The annual picnic under the auspices
of the local unions of the Society of
of Equity, held at Murray's grove west
of town last Thursday, was attended
by over 900 people and proved most
entertaining outing for the farmers in
that locality. The principal address
was delivered by State Secretary Tubbs
of Madison, who launched into the
binder Irvine issue at length and in the
course of his remarks took occasion to
criticize Assemblyman L. c. Whittet
for his vote in the legislature upon the
proposition. Mr.. Whittet was present
and at the close of the address was in
vited to reply to the charges of the
speaker, which he did in a way that
shattered many of Mr.. Tubbs' argu-
ments. Mr.. Whittet was armed with
facts and figures on this subject, taken
before the legislative committee, of
which he was chairman, showing up
the proposition as unwise as a state in
vestment. And he convinced his lis
teners that he was right about it, too.
The Albion band furnished music for
the occasion and ball games and other
sports helped complete the program of
the days entertainment.

"A large amount of grain, hay and
other property has been destroyed Dy
fire set by trains along the railway
right of way in this section the last
few weeks, while everything was as
dry as finder from the long drouth.
The damage which the railways Will De
called upon to meet must reach a large
sum.
Evidently, the Wisconsin State Far
to be held in Milwaukee, September
1916, will be digger and better" tnan
ever. A new machinery pavilion, 35Ox
100, is completed; new speed barns, a
swine judging amphitheater and an
additional toilet are being built, at an
expense Of some $50, 900; all are SUBJ
stantial, up-to-date buildings. More
than $500 is offered in cash prizes to
exhibitors and contestants and there
will be special attractions in variety
and extent to suit all.
The free entertainments at the big
picnic August 10th will be worth four
times the price of admission to the
grounds. The two club house per-
formances will certainly amuse all; two
ball games, just what everybody likes;
three horse races, all fast ones, and
lot of other amusements. Everybody
will come to the picnic and everybody
will have good time. A play at Roy
al hall and dance in Academy hall in
the evening will help to round out the
day good and full.
Don't fail to see the Siberian
wolves, which will be seen on the
streets next Wednesday, Aug. 10, to
be used in the big production of "Dan-
lei Boone on the Trail" at the Royal
hall. This company also carries den
of bears. The company numbers 20
people who are all metropolitan players
in their respective parts. The play
surrounding the pioneer days of this
famous old historic person, is staged in
a thorough manner, and his many ex-
citing adventures are produced in
most realistic manner. The feature
climax is when Boone's daughter is
thrown into the cage of man-eating
wolves and is rescued by Daniel Boone,
who has very thrilling fight which is
a true one in every sense of the word.
There are also several first-class vaude-
vile artists with this show. Prices

Bumper Crop of Oats.

While some farmers are complaining
Of the drouth and resulting poor crops,
there is one who has a golden field of
oats that has produced bumper crop.
And the peculiar part or it is he does
not know what variety of oats he
planted. He purchased bushel of
seed oats at the State fair in Milwau-
kee last year to experiment with. The
result has been most pleasing sur
prise to him.
The farmer in question is Frank
Hudson, whose land is located one mile
out of Milton. He has thirty acres of
oats and it is claimed by him and 9TH
ers that they will run 100 bushels to
the acre. They are so heavy, and the
stalks so thick, it is said, that trouble
has been encountered in harvesting the
crop. The heads are long, abundant
and completely filled out with oats.

Obituary.
LUCY HUBBELL SCOFIELD.


Mrs. Lucy Hubbell Scofeld has fallen
asleep to wake no more in this life.
She had been gradually failing for sew
eral months and her family and friends,
while grieving for themselves at her
loss, feel that it was better for her to
be spared the suffering of living on.
Fond memories of her will live as
long as her dear ones survive her. Her
marked individuality, her uprightness,
her love of flowers these remain a
legacy to the entire community.
Lucy Hubbell was born January 20,
1922, at Queensbury, Warren county,
n. Y. She was married to John SEQ
field March 81, 1912. Mr.. Scofeld died
in 1877, and three of her children had
also gone before, William H. in in
fancy, Mary A. at the age of II, and
Jane, wife of James Stewart, at 80.
Her home for many years has been
with her son, Franklin H., and she has
been very tenderly loved and cared for
there.
Besides her son, she leaves three
granddaughter and a grandson and six
great-grandchildren. Two sisters sur
viving her are octogenarians, Mrs.
Elsie Fuller of Center, Rock county,
and Mrs. Lavisa West of Glens Falls,
N. Y. Her brother John of Glens Falls
has died within the year at the age of
"a, and her brother Alfred of Fulton
died in May, aged 80. Full of years
these brothers and sisters are going,
yet we would detain them little long
er for the comfort of the sweet inf1u-
ence radiating from their lives. But if
it may not be so, blessed be memory
that gamers happy remembrances OF
the loved ones.

Completely Pauperlzed.

Albert w. Hebbard, New York's
charity expert. said at recent din.
ner:
The great danger of charity is its
pauperizing effect. This effect must
be avoided, or the recipients will all
become Jack Ranches.
Jack Hanch, on the score OF bad
health never worked, and the pastor
of the Methodist church, man whose
heart sometimes outran his head, sent
the idler and his family weekly gifts
of food and clothing-supported the
whole crew, in fact.
"A church visitor, after listening to
Jacks complaints one day, said:
eyes. of course. you have had bad
health, we know that; but one thing
at least you ought to be thankful for,
and that is our pastors kindness in
sending you all this bread and meat
and jelly and blankets and SO on.
Don't you think it is good of him to
look after you SO well?"
"'Good of him?' said Jack, impa.
tiently. Why, what's he for?'"

WISE WORDS.
A Physician on Food.

A physician, of Portland, Oregon,
has views about food. He says:
II have always believed that the
duty of the physician does not cease
with treating the sick, but that we
owe it to humanity to teach them how
to protect their health. especially by
hygienic and dietetic laws.
with such feeling as to my duty
I take great pleasure in saying to the
public that in my own experience and
also from personal observation have
found no food equal to Grape-Nuts.
and that find there Is almost no limit
to the great benefits this food will
bring when used in all cases Of sick
ness and convalescence.
ut is my experience that no physi
cal condition forbids the use Of Grape
Nuts. To persons in health there Ia
nothing so nourishing and acceptable
to the stomach, especially at break
fast, to start the machinery Of the hui
man system on the days work.
.In cases of indigestion know that
a complete breakfast can be made OF
GrapeNuts and cream and think it is
not advisable to overload the stomach
at the morning meal. l also know the
great value of Grape-Nuts when the
stomach is too weak to digest other
food.
