ETY. will conduct the first real apple
show in the state history. Secre-
tary Cran6eld has notified the
State Board of Agriculture that the
society will this year bend all its
energies towards proving to the far
mer of the state that the Wisconsin
grown apple is just as luscious and
attractive as the apples of Wash
ington, Idaho, and New York states
and that it's commercial market val
ue is greater.
Secretary Cranfeld and his assist
ants are now preparing to exhibit
and they expect to bring to the
State Fair not less than 800 exhibits
in bushel and barrel lots. ready for
marketing. These will include
every variety grown in the state and

Door county district that will at

large tent and will be in charge of
Secretary Cranfeld. 1t will be To-
Gated alongside the horticultural
exposition building but will be in

What have the town officers been
doing in regard to securin 6 state aid
for permanent road Improvement?
We have not been able to ascertain
how our country friends view or re-
gard the new state aid law, but do
not think that it will take much in
tellect to see that good roads bene-
fit all classes, and any movement to
secure this aid should be heartily
encouraged by both city and country
folk whose cooperation is essential
in general results for betterment in
a cause that any reasonable mind
must approve. The arguments by
a few in opposition that the move
ment is in the interests of only the
automobile owners, do not seem to
be sufficiently weighty to meet
with any appreciate favor in any
reasonably fair mind, and we hope
to see those towns that did not take
advantage of the situation this year
fall in line and do what is required
of them to obtain their share of the
state aid for bodybuilding next
wear,

VIM. r. Donald of the Marshall
County Sentinel at Britton, S. D.,
has been trying to reform wife
beater of that metropolis for some
time through the columns of his
paper, but what success he has met
with we are at loss to know Dep
uty Sheriff Lehman of Milwaukee
seems to have hit upon the right
remedy for cure of this evil and
we would advise Bro Donald to ap-
ply the dope as prescribed in the
Evening Wisconsin few days ago:
For long time he is said to have
bullied his little wife, and bullied
the neighbors and others in the vi
cinity of his home in Wauwatosa,
but he could not scare Deputy Sher-
if Fred Lehman with his threats.
On Tuesday night when Paul
Gauger came home and proceeded
to abuse his wife, Deputy Sheriff
Lehman was called to the home.
Here he found that Gauger had
frightened his wife almost into hys-
terics, and the neighbors in the
vicinity were afraid to come out
doors.
Whats all the trouble?" asked
Fred.
You mind your own business, if
you don't want to be licked" Gauger
remarked to the deputy. You men
are brave when you've got that billy
in your back pocket, but without it
you could do nothing "
Without another word Fred peeled
off his coat, rolled up his sleeves
and handed over his club to Gauger.
Now you have your wish. Here
is the club. Use it, for I am going
to give you the best beating you
ever received"
Both men were powerful, but soon
the hammering blows of the deputy
told and Gauger was lin for it.
He was pummeled until his eyes
were blacked and his body was sore.
Enough" he cried.
In district court this morning
much shame faced and docile
Gauger faced Judge Neelen.
you got just what was coming to
you" said the court, and l believe
it will do you for time"
He was put on probation for two
months, and must report every
week to the deputy sheriff who lick
ed him."

The Postal Savings Bank system
instituted in this city, Hudson and
at New Richmond is much maligned
by some who do not seem to under
stand its purpose, and many are
led to believe misleading statements
made in some newspapers where
conclusions appear in print void of
a single fact. The Spring Valley
Sun, with it's physical impossible
ity to state fact correctly" as the
Glenwood Tribune puts it, has the
following to offer its readers:
The combined deposits of the
postal savings banks at New Rich
mond, Hudson and River Falls are
less than ST, 100000. One thousand
dollars is not enough to pay Uncle
Sans printing for the blanks nee
essary to open business there. But
this is right. These postal savings
banks are a scheme of the big banks
to get money out of the country into
the cities, where it cannot be had by
farmers and others who may need a
loan. They should not be patroniz-
ed in the country; they are all right
in the big cities.
Why they should make such a
statement we have not been able to
ascertain. But papers that will
print such stuff and give it publicity
as information must be rather
strained for news.
These savings banks are estab-
lished throughout the country for
the purpose of training children in
the practice of thrift and economy,
and for the benefit of large num-
Der who are afraid of the banks and
as a consequence bury their money
at home for safe keeping. In estab-
fishing the Sayings Banks the I'm
tied States Government stands back
of depositors with guarantee that
their money is forthcoming at any
time upon demand and there is no
fear of losing it through bankruptcy.
Furthermore at the end of years
time it draws two per cent. interest.
The deposits are handled by the To-
cal bankers who are under secure
bonds; thus the money is not taken
out Of the country away from those
who may need loan. The Savings
Bank affords an excellent opportun-
ity to teach children economy and it
is a wise policy of parents to en-
courage their children to patronize
it. Children now days are, as rule
permitted to spend money too freely
for their own future good, and by
means of the Savings Bank they can
be persuaded to start savings ac-
count and become interested in it's
growth. The spending of money in
every locality for things not needed
nor particularly cared for soon be-
comes habit which is responsible
for a large part of the want and pow
erty of to-day. Bear in mind the old
saying "The child is father to the
man." We see nothing but good in
the Postal Savings system.

No More Poor Bridges

With the beginning of the thresh-
ing season, news items recounting
the details of accidents caused by
weak bridges and heavy engines
will begin to appear.
The size of traction engines used
in thresbing has been steadily in
creasing, and with this increase in
the size of engines has come an in
creased number of accidents due to
weak bridges. The Legislature of
1911, recognizing this, has enacted
several laws designed to make the
strength of bridges built in the fu-
ture ample to take care of any in
crease in the loads they may be cal
led upon to carry.
One of these (Chapter 642, Laws
of 1919 provides that all iron, steel
or concrete bridges with spans OF
more than four feet built or repaired
in the state shall be designed to
carry, without planking, all loads
up to fifteen tons. All iron, steel or
concrete culverts of four feet span
or less, must be made safe for all
loads up to eighteen tons.
The state aid law (Chapter 337,
Laws of 1919 also contains provi-
sion designed to improve the grade
of bridge work. This law provides
that the state shall contribute to-
ward the cost of bridges built on
state aid roads. In order to obtain
state aid these bridges must be de-
signed by the State Highway Com
mission. This law also requires that
the plans of all bridges built under
county aid shall be approved by the
Commission.
Another enactment 1.-THE amend
ment of Sec. 1919 of the Statutes)
puts the cost of bridges entitled to
receive county aid at such a low
figure $500 in towns valued at
$500, 900 or more, and one-twentieth
of one per cent in towns valued at
$500, O0O) that practically all bridges
built in the future will be entitled to
to receive this aid.
By these enactments the Leglsla-
ture has imposed upon the Commits
sion the duty of inspecting the
plans of every bridge built in the
state. With this supervision the
grade of bridges built must i'm
prove. with a definite standard of
strength ample for all loads, fixed
by law, the Commission will be in
position to demand good work. The
old wooden bridges, which cause
most of the accidents, are rapidly
becoming thing of the past. Re-
placed with structures of the
strength demanded by the law, it
should be only a few years until
bridge accidents, now so frequent,
will be entirely unknown.

WARD COUNTY FARMERS
CAN'T PAY SEED GRAIN

1t will be remembered that the Stark
county commissioners last spring did
not think it good business to buy seed
grain for farmers. They reasoned,
perhaps, better than they knew. Here
is the way the business worked out in
Ward county. according to dispatch
sent out from Minot the past week
From present indications 1t looks as
if many people who were helped out by
Ward county last spring with seed grain
are goine to be unable to pay this fall.
County Auditor L. A. Larson has been
trying to get the elevator men to assist
him in making collections. but thus far
the returns have been very small. Many
WHO got seed grain and gave a lien on
their crops lest spring have no crops
this fall. they are naturally in no con-
dition no pay the county.
Mr.. Larson was compelled to have a
man arrested last week for trying to
beat the county out of its money. The
party had written Mr.. Larson several
letters condemning him for being too
active in trying to collect money. and
said that at the time Mr.. Larson ran for
Office the county auditor had said he
would treat the voters right. Mr.. Lar
son wrote back and said that the only
way he could treat the voters right
was by doing his duty in every
instance. Later on the man disposed of
his grain and refused to pay.
The county is bonded for this amount
of money paid for seed grain, and il
those who got seed cannot pay. the
amount of the bonds to be paid will
have to be added onto the general tax
list. -

lie FIees From Fight;
 Bruiser Brought Back

One Jack. Fogarty will be remember cd by Yuma people, as the man vhc was going to operate gymnasium and Natatorium in Yuma.
 Also it was noised about when Fo garty was here that he was an FIX prize fighter.
 He must have been an ex-somethine for listen to the following from the Fl Centro Standard:
 "He who fights and runs away, r May live to, fight another day"
 Thus runs the old saw; but nothing is said of te man who is matched to fight and then runs away.
 >Brawley had just such an expe,i ence on the Fourth of July that pre- sents some amusing features. /
 As one of the spectacular stunts for the Cantaloupe Fiesta,~a boxing con test between Jack Fogarty and Young Cannon, of Los Angeles, was advertis- ed. Tickets sold readily at s1 eacA. and when the time came for the bi-, event the place was crowded-but J. garty was nowhere to be found.
 Some preliminaries were pulled of' but the crowd wasn't satisfied and wanted it's money. back. The manage mentr paid out all the money they had on hand and then announced that per sons presenting their tickets at one of the local pool rooms would be paid later. The management played square with all patrons of the game and re- funded money on all tickets presented
 But while this assuaged the s-,re- ness of the public. it still left a raw spot with the managers and quiet investigation was started to locate Fogarty. Yesterday it was ascertain. cd that he was enjoying the summer climate oS Indio, and a mar was sent up to place him. under arrest or a charge of obtaining money under false pretenses.
 Fosarty was taken back to Brawley this morning. The word had been passed around that here was one prize that, could "cCme back" and as result there was a great crowd at the Brawley station to greet Fogar- ty with cat calls, jeers and offers to place their money on him if he would not run away.

San PasCuai Valley
 Raises Early Melons

A. M. Wilson, who owns unit thr ae miles from Bard on the road to Yuma has made a pretty fair record on a melon patch consisting of less than three acres of land. The land was never leveled, simply planted and irri- gated as it stood. No special attempt was made for early melons, but the first melons of the season were taken into the city of Yuma on the 18th day of May, by MT. Wilson, for which he received a fancy price from the mer- chants.
 Both cantaloupes and water melons are of Superior quality. During the month of June the patch netted $7O0. This amount does not cover the M ty produce or that of July, and 300 to 400 melons are still being picked daily from the field and hundreds of can taloupes are going to waste. Most : the melons are sold in Yuma, some from the field and small percentage shipped to Arizona While the Wilson unit is without doubt one of the best on the reservation, the sail here is so wonderfully rich that few people as yet realize the value of their posses sions This year has been but year of experiment and the greater major ity have had no income from their land, but those who had tie foresight to plant the right thing at the right time, have found ready market for everything From a small garden of string beans MT. Wilson realized S75 in the spring. In another year he feels confident he can produce several weeks earlier, and it is the early stuff that swells the bank account.
