Wintergreen distilleri"s in the midst

and wintergreen plants gat hered from
the forest by their tribesmen is the
plan of Prof. Edward Kremers of the
University of Wisconsin to furnish
employment for the thousands of red

at present is picking cranberries, job
which lasts only few months every

Congressman J. j. Esch has given

DELLS IN FILM SCENE
Picture Company Use
Cliffs in Staging
Story.

With the wonderful scenery of the
Dells of the Wisconsin river for back
ground, the American Feature Film
company of Chicago, is making what
it expects will be one of Jhe most
striking and popular films in the
country Since beginning the work it
has found unusual opportunity for
story of marvellous attraction, the
peculiar natural formations of the
vicinity affording thrilling pictures.
In the story on which the company is
now at work a convict is shown in
prison with guards and convicts, every
detail of big state prison being acted
out, the buildings being admirably
adapted from the walls and buildings
of the big dam and power house. The
convict is led through thrilling sit
uations, in the wild scenery of the
DelIs. The careful attention given to
details, the selection of scenery, and
ingenious posing, will make
this a moving picture that will delight
audiences wherever moving pictures
are shown. When completed the pic
lures will be thrown on screen in
and as many people of the
town are shown in various groups it
will be an interesting exhibit there.

CARROTSBY THE CAR LOAD
Ernest P. Nc Gilvra The
Largest Grower of the
Roots in County.

Ernest P. McGilvra is harvesting a
thousand bushels of carrots and he Is
acknowledged to be the largest grower
of this vegetable in Sauk county. He
grows a number Of varieties for several
purposes. The bulk of the crop is
grown under contract for the big Bar
aboo circuses and they will be fed to
the deer family at the Ringing and
Gollmar winter quarters. Mr.. Nc
Gilvra took the first premium at the
state fair and was also winner at the
county show. Carrots are not only
fine for stock but are good eating for
the human race when properly cooked.
People should always eat something
that is grown in the ground if they
ould be healthy, and there is moth
ing better than carrots.
Mr.. McGilvra raised the carrots on
the ten acres which he purchased of
the Tuttle estate.

MUCH GAME IN DAKOTA
President of the Great
Northern Nursery Re-
turns From Trip.

M. F. Foley, president of the Great
Northern Nursery, has returned from
a trip to North Dakota where he went
to look at section of land which he
has owned for some time and which he
had never seen. 1t adjoins another
section owned by Attorney +. r. Bent
ey. Mr.. Foley reports that the crops in
hat state were good the past season
and says that most of the people have
too much land. If they had less and
would give it more attention the re-
suits would be better. Although most
OF the owners of land have too much,
yet they desire to purchase more so
that the demand is brisk.
There has been an abundance of rain
this fall and good crop in 1912 is as
sured. Mr.. Foley reports that all the
sloughs and other low place are full of
water. This makes fine places for
wild geese and ducks. On one lake it
was estimated there were over $4,000
geese at one time. From almost any
corn shock one can bring down fine
ducks or geese. The game laws are
very strict and one is usually taking a
chance when shooting as the game
wardens are liable to arrest on some
pretext. Boats cannot be used on a
lake, birds cannot be shot within
certain distance of the water and there
are strict regulations about shipping
game out of the state.
Some of the wheat fields were not
cut and these make fine feeding grounds
for all kinds of migratory birds. To
these field the ducks and geese
have been attracted by the million.
Mr.. Foley has number of statesmen
in the Dakotas who are spreading the
name of the fine fruit trees and plants
sold by the Great Northern nursery.

From the Madison Demccrat.)
The recent high water on the Wis
consin river that was at its height
about the 18th of October and which
threatened an overflow o, the levee at
Portage, gave the villages Of Merri-
mack and Okee foretaste of the con-
ditions that will prevail after the COM
pletion of the dam at Prairie du Sac
by the Wisconsin Water Power COM
pany. The dam will cause the water
from Wisconsin river to back up into
Spring creek, a small stream that
empties into the river just below the
Chicago 81 North western Railroad
bridge that crosses the Wisconsin at
Merrimack, thus forming lake at the
junction of the river and the creek.
This lake will extend south from Mer-
rilnack to Okee, a small village on the
line of the Chicago & Northwestern
road some three miles away. At the
latter village the old grist mill owned
~
commission and no doubt will be
bought up by the Water Power COM
pany. The road on the bank of the
creek will have to be raised several
feet and a bridge crossin the creek
must be raised to the level of the lower
teir of windows now in the mill. Be-
tween Okee and Merrimack there are
said to be three places at least here
the track of the road will have to
be raised a number of feet in order to
be above the level of the water. One
difference in the condition of the water
during the recent overflow and the
| permanent raise due to the Prairie du
| Sac dam will be in the current. Dur
| ing the recent high water the current
was swift, the waters rushing along al
a tumultuous pace, while when the
dam causes the high water the current
will be sluggish and the waters placid

YOUNG LADY IN PLAY
Miss Alice Ringing of Bar
aboo in the Spirit of "The
Intruder"

Concerning the presentation of "The
lntrudern in Milwaukee and the part
so we'll taken by Miss Alice Ringling
daughter of Mrs. A. G. RingIing of
Baraboo, among other things the
Milwaukee Sentinel says:
Given with a dignity, a subtle y,
and an interpretative skill unexpected
in the work of amateurs, "The Intru-
DER" ore act play of mood rather
than Of plot by Maurice Maeterlinck,
served to inaugurate the seasons work
of the Wisconsin Dramatic society in
Milwaukee at the Davidson theater.
1t was an occasion of Importance and
genuine significance. The audience
was representative of the city's most
cultured circles, and the value of the
performance, which was given by
members of the Madison Producing
society, can scarcely be overestimated.
From the momeat when the curtain
rose on the family group sitting in
tense silence, the spirit of this little
drama of the soul cast it's spell over
the audience. Not once was the spirit
of the play lost by any member of the
small and excellent cast. Miss Alice
"first sister" is a portrayal
of genuine beauty, rich in poetic
charm, wonderfully sympathetic, and
revealing in really remarkable manner
the spiritual sensitiveness which gives
the character much of it's appeal,
