BUY MORE LAND
U University People Purchase
An Additional Tract
At Junction

The agricultural department of
the state university at Madison clos
ed a deal last week for the purchase
of twenty-three acres of land at Ash
land junction which joins the piece
purchased for the State University
by the counties of Ashland & Bayfield,.
The twenty three acres was owned
by the Dalrymple estate of Bayfield,
and lies between the piece purchased
by the two counties and the Junction
The price was considered rather high
but the University people were anxi-
Gus to get this particular tract.
The university people are PLANNING
on making the station at the juno
ticn one of the largest in the state
and men are now at work clearing
the land and getting it ready for
crops. The location of this big sta
ton at Ashland Junction means much
to this section of the state and
especially to the Chequamegon bay
region. 1t was wise move on the
part of the two counties in joining to-
gether in the purchase ofthe land.

Two VISITING Cards.

Visiting cards differ In style accord
ing to latitude. and as an example a
Paris contemporary recalls an incident
in 1874 when NJ. de Lagrene was sent
under Louis Philippe as minister ex-
traordinary to China. The courtesy OF
the ambassador greatly impressed the
Chinese statesmen, particularly their
"doyen." When the negotiations had
been completed and NJ. de Lagrene was
ready to embark delegation brought
him q great roll of paper. The ambas-
sador seeing this parcel at once thought
this was q present, knowing Chinese
methods, but to his surprise they start
ed to uDroll the cylinder, which extend
ed to about fifty meters Of paper. over
1852 feet. Then he learned that 1t was
the visiting card of the "doyen." In
returning his modest little bristol
board the Inundated ambassador add
ed few words, which read, THE am
bassador of France regrets that he IL
able to offer only these simple words
to your excelIency."

door Of the foreign minister's Office
for M. de Selves himself. As they
were brought into the anteroom the
usher was standing with his hands on
the door handle ready to announce
them. But at the sight Of his silver
thain his medals, his sword, his gold
topped cane and his three cornered
hat the Abyssinians could not be ex-
pected to know they were In the pres
ence OF a mere servant. So bowling
low repeatedly. they approached him
slowly and with great respect until
they were within reach Of his coattails,
which, one on either side, they seized
In their hands and kissed. The usher
did not know what to do, but the up
pearance Of the minister relieved the
situation.

II Has Many Symptoms and May A..

| Il Has Many Symptoms and May AZ
feet the Whole System.
Chief among the symptoms Of eye
strain are watering of the eye, q glu-
ing together Of the eyelids on awaken
ing in the morning, headache, the posi-
ton and character of which vary with
each individual. 1t may be neuralgia
or it may be deeply seated, as was the
case with Wagner, the musician, who
was complaining constantly Of "the
nerves Of his eyes,"
The headache is often replaced by
an Inflammation of the eyelids. espe-
cially in young and healthy persons.
who also have a little conjunctivitis.
with a feeling of tension or fullness In
the eyes which may become real pain
of dull aching character. the eyeballs
being very tender on pressure.
Sometimes there are vertigo and
sickness, with dyspepsia. palpitation
and even difficulty In breathing.
Sleeplessness is very frequent symp-
tom, due in, part to the excessive fow
Of blood to'the brain and In part to the
low tone Of the whole nervous system.
The symptoms of eye strain appear
sooner in those who lead confined
and sedentary life, who follow occupa-
lions which need constant use Of the
eyes in bad or unsuitable light and In
those who are debilitated from any
cause. The symptoms appear later In
those of coarser fiber, who pass much
of their time In the open air or who
follow occupations which do not need
prolonged use Of the eyes for close
work.-London Lancet.

The base ball game played on
the home grounds last Sunday
afternoon between the Wash
burn and Glidden teams was
rather farce comedy far as
the playing of the Glidden team
was concerned for they were
no match for the fast Locals ag-
gregation, The game had not
gone..far when it was apparent
that the Glidden bunch were
due for a bad ming for after
the locals had piled up few
runs the Glidden boys seemed
to loose all interest in the game.
The score was seventeen to three
at the close of the game and had
the locals desired they could
have run their score up much
higher.
When the Glidden team were
scheduled to play here it was
supposed that they had a team
that would be some kind of a
match. 1t had been tated that
they had been playing good ball
during the forepart of the. sea-
son but from the game Sunday
it was apparent that they had
either been over estimated or
had lost all knowledge of the
game. The contest was witness
ed by fairly good sized crowd
but there was very little in
terest taken in the contest.
