The Leader in Advance

The editor of the Leader is generous
and would not withhold from others any
credit which might be their due for
helping the poor in the city, but it is a
fact nevertheless that the matter was
first brought TO the attention of the peO-
ole of Watertown by the Leader and con-
siderable money and supplies received
which has been turned over to the de-
serving poor, who have been made COM
Portable There has been no blare Of
trumpets, the editor remaining in the
background as much as possible doing
what good he could in quiet and unos-
tentatiOus manner, and in closing this
article wish in behalf of those who have
helped, to thank those who have so gener-
Ously responded to the appeals which
have appeared in the Leader for their
contributions of money. clothing, shoes
and food, and to the kind lady who left
her luxuriant home to care for sick
woman in a home of squaler and poverty
They will surely have their reward.

Boys and Urls Agricultural
Clubs ~ 1'~

Within recent years new method of
aaricultursl edIcat ton has been devised
in the form IT bays and girls clubs.
nch nbs have various objects, but usu-
ally they provide for prize contests
among the mem!ers. Corn growing con-
tests are probab the most common
a,n"ng the h.!s. although many ether
crops have been tried, while the girls
compete in bread making or sewing, or
even test thei' skill against that Of the
boys in gardening. .a- ii
The U. S. Department Of Agriculture
has Information of 395 counties in %
states in which such clubs are organ
izrd, with a total membership of about
144OOO. New York has about $1,000
members; Nebraska, 5000. and other
states smaller numbers. One county in
Pennsylvania has 1900 members. In
most cases these clubs are organized
under the auspices Of some state author
ity. such as the commissioner of agricul-
tnre, the superintendent of public in
F
struction. the agricultural college, or a
society, like the State Corn Growers as
saciation OF Delaware. But in MANY
cases the county superintendent takes
the initiative. while in many other cases
the rural teachers ar ange contests
among their own pup lis. - ss
The q. s. Department Of Agric ulture
also gives assistance through the Office
of Experiment Stations. by furnishing
advice and sngges IONS. Through, the
Departments Farmers Bulletins, the
most practical instruction in the grew

by the boys, while the girls may obtain

VOLUME xxx
Let Us Be Honest

Ex-Mayor Wertheimer is not seeking
the mayorality neither as democrat nor
as a republican, nor as a stalWart or
half breed, but simply as citizen on his
merits as man, and every man who is
fair will admit, that he is one OF the
most enterprising and public spirited
men in the city, to whom we are indebt-
ed for much OF our material prosperity
the past few years, for he has been ready
at all times, to give literally )f his time
and energies to advance each and every
interest having for its object the better
ment of WatertOWn, and today, we are
enjoying to large degree the fruits Of
his unselfish labOrs which richly entitle
him to words Of praise and cOmmenda-
ton,
We hear men condemning the Mil
waukee Light, Heat and Traction COM
pany, which Mr.. Wertheimer was instru-
mental in large measure in securing
for our city, which put it on the map
and will give Watertown further and
greater prominence when the trolley
lines are extended south, north and west.
We do not believe that there is man of
ordinary sense in the city that would
have the interurban taken up and dis
continued. Then why howl against the
men who labored for its coming to the
city? The fact is, it is only the cry of
men who use it for a personal purpose
and to prejudice the voters against
man worthy Of their support aud best
efforts fOI his election.

The people Of this city will not be

The Place to Trade

People are taking advantage OF the ex-
cellent bargains being given at the
store of Charles Fischer & Son Co., at
the west end of Main street bridge.
Customers are surprised at the bargains
they are giving in dry goods, ladies suits,
underwear, gents clothing and furnish
ing goods. Their prices are away below
those in Milwaukee or Chicago for the
same quality of goods, and they have one
price for all, and it is real pleasure for
them to wait on customers. Do not for
get the place.

Give Him a Trial

Irving Brendel is still slaughterlng
groceries and underselling all competi-
tors in the city. He is demonstrating
practically that groceries, dry goods,
tinware aud novelties can be sold for
less prices than have been asked hereto
fore. He believes in quick sales and
small profits, and those who are looking
for real bargains will find them at his
store, 112 North Water street, Watertown.

cent man is accused of the crime. In
this predicament the guilty one is called
upon, attorney. to defend the in
nocent and succeeds in freeing him by
4. dramatic incident The fact that both
have been in love with the same woman
