1t is Captain Beaumont's idea to
make the event as big one as the
circumstances will permit, and he be-
lieves that it can be made to surpass
anything heretofore attempted If the
citizens of Hattiesburg will enter ac-
lively into the spirit of the occasion
and help along in the preliminary
work.
He intends. if possible, to have a
full regiment of the National Guard
In the city during the three days OF
the reunion, and, if it is found i'm
practicable for the entire regiment
to attend. feels confident that he can
at least secure battalion of infantry
These National Guardsmen will take
part in the parade and execute drills
and maneuvres, and it is probable that
sham battle at Hamper Park will
be one of the features of entertain
ment furnished by them.

A Novel Idea.


Another idea of Capt. Beaumont's lis
to take a company each Of young men
and young women and drill them ur-
der his own direction, the former to
be made familiar with the method
of drilling used by the Confederate
soldiers, and to be supplied with uni
forms and arms similar to those used
during the civil war. 1t is proposed
to begin training this company Of
youn men some time in the
near future, so that they may give
the old veterans a demonstration Of
the old-time regulations.
The company of young women Capt.
Beaumont proposes to instruct in fan
cy and calesthenic drills, under Butts
manual of arms, every movement in
the various drills being made to the
&C compartment of band music and the
young iadIea IN be supplied with suita-
Bile equipment for tsis purpose.

Bishop Eats His Own Boots.

Few bishops have to lead such a
strenuous life as Bishop Stringer. In
company with a missionary companion
he made tour recently to Herschel
island, in the Arctic ocean, and back
to Dawson City, where the bishop re-
sides.
Their small supply of food becoming
exhausted, they were obliged to eat
their muckalucks and moccasins.
These, made of raw sealskins, were
soaked until they became glutinous,

MN. Opposes Extension.

The Milwaukee Northern road ap.
peared before the railroad commission
to oppose the granting of certificate
of convenience and necessity to the
Fox River Valley company for the
construction of a line from Cedarburg
to Milwaukee. The Milwaukee North
ern contends that the proposed line is
not needed to support that part of the
line north of Cedarburg and that the
Milwaukee Northern adequately fills
the transportation needs of the terri
tory south of that point to Milwaukee.
The commission continued further
hearings on the application to May %
and 26, the attorneys for the applicant
road not having completed their brief.
It is understood, however, that the
Fox River Valley company proposes
to build an electric line from Fond du
Lac, skirting the east shore of Lake
Winnebago, to Taycheerah, Stock
bridge, Sherwood and Kaukauna and
thence to Appleton and Menasha. At
Stockbridge line will branch off to
Chiffon, Kiel, New Holstein, Elkhart
Lake, Winooski, Cascade, Silver
Greek, Newburg and Cedarburg, where
it will cross the Milwaukee Northern
and the Milwaukee tracks and then go
on to Hamilton, Fox Point, Whitefish
Bay and Milwaukee.

AN INTOLERABLE ITCHING

Just about two years ago, some
form of humor appeared on my scalp.
The beginning was a slight itching but
it grew steadily worse until, when l
combed my hair, the scalp became
raw and the ends of the comb-teeth
would be wet with blood. Most of the
time there was an intolerable itching,
in painful, burning way, very much
as a bad, raw burn, if deep, will itch
and smart when first beginning to
heal. Combing my hair was positive
torture. My hair was long and tan
gled terribly because of the blood and
Bcabs. This continued growing worse
and over half my hair fell out. I was
in despair, really afraid of becoming
totally bald.
Sometimes the pain was so great
that, when partially awake, I would
scratch the worst places so that my
finger-tips would be bloody. / could
not sleep well and, after being asleep
a short time, that awful singing pain
would commence and then I would
wake up nearly wild with the torture.
A neighbor said j. must be salt rheum.
Having used Cuticura Soap merely as
toilet soap before, I now decided to
order a set OF the Cuticura Remedies
-Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Pills.
I used them according to directions
for perhaps six weeks, then left off,
as the disease seemed to be eradi-
Gated, but toward spring, eighteen
months ago, there was a slight re-
turn of the scalp humor. I CON-
menced the Cuticura treatment at
once, so had very little trouble. On
my scalp I used about one half cake
of Cuticura Soap and half a box Of
Cuticura Ointment in all. The first
time took six or seven bottles of Gu
ticura Pills and the last time three
bottles-neither an expensive or to-
dious treatment. Since then I have
had no scalp trouble of any kind.
Standing up, with my hair unbound, it
comes to my knees and had it not been
for Cuticura I should doubtless be
wholly bald.

timonial and take pleasure in writing

How He EXPRESSED II.

Every small boy-the right kind,
anyhow-thinks his own mother the
symbol of all perfection. Few, how
ever, have the ability to express their
admiration as prettily as the little
hero of the following anecdote:
Richards mother was putting him to
bed, and as she kissed him good night,
she said: do you know you are the
whole world to mammal"
"Am II" he answered, quickly. "Well
then, you're heaven and the north pole
to me!"-Youth's Companion.

Picks Sparta for Range.

The federal military board sent to
Sparta to select suitable site for a
national target range to be located at
Camp Robinson has recommended
that the plateau at the south end of
the range is ideal.
This plateau was used for the field
artillery practice during the encamp-
ment of the troops here last year
and is said to be superior to Camp
Perry, o.
1t is surrounded by hills on four
sides which will act as wind shields.
If the government accepts the rec
concentrations work on the target
range will be started as soon as the
contracts can be let and the range will
be in readiness for the 1911 national
rifle competition.

Snow Saved Strawberries.

Snow Saved Strawberries.
The monthly farm report of the
state board of agriculture says:
From an agricultural point of view
the early part of the present year
has been full of perplexity and disap-
pointment
1.-THE snowfall of the past winter
gave ample protection to growing
crops, and with the apparent opening
of spring early in March, grasses and
grains at once commenced growth at
least one month in advance of average
seasons.
Favorable conditions continued un-
til the middle of April, when grasses
and grains had reached ordinary June
standards and tree fruits were in full
bloom. The disastrous freeze of April
showed the respective records of 80
degrees and "a degrees above zero
killed nearly all fully matured bios
SONS of apples, cherries and plums,
seriously injured the chances of crops
of brush fruits and strawberries, and
upon forest trees. In exposed loca-
tions spring grains and young clover
were killed back, but were not perma-
nently injured.
"The fall of snow about the time of
this freezing weather did much to
prevent loss to strawberries and
spring grain crops. We estimate the
loss to apples at 80 per cent, cherries
and plums at 80 per cent, brush
fruits at IS per cent, and strawberries
at so per cent Notwithstanding these
unfavorable conditions, the present re-
port shows farm crops to be in better
than usual condition on May 1.
Our reports from the state at large
give the following estimates, 100 rep
resenting normal:
Winter wheat. .95iOther meadows. 90

Disciplined Students Light Weights"

That college students detected in
dishonesty in their work are really
physically deficient, compared with
the normal student, is shown by
statistics of the medical examiner of
the mems gymnasium at the Uni
yersity of Wisconsin.
Comparison of SO disciplined stu
dents with 5000 of their class mates,
in an investigation conducted by DR..
]. c. Elsom for several years, shows
that they fall short in height, weight,
strength tests and other physical
measurements.
1T is undoubtedly fact" says Doc
tor Elsom, that the poorly developed
and badly nourished individual cannot
be as strong either physically, morally
or mentally as his better developed
brother. The student who resorts to
dishonesty in his university work I'M
doubtedly, in most instances, does so
under stress, and because of his fear
of failure. He is not so well prepared
for the mental work put upon him;
and with a somewhat weakened con-
stitution he falls an easy prey to
temptation of every sort"

Nearly 5000 Students.

An actual registration of 4,947 stu

Wisconsin is shown by statistics in
the new catalogue, an increase of 426,
or ten per cent. over last years en-
rollment. This brings Wisconsin up
seventh in the list Of universities.
There are 1887 women to 1850
men. In the college of letters and
science there are 1906 men and 977
women. In the school of music there
are 143 women to 10 men. In the col
lege of agriculture there are seven
