Mr.. Southwick has set out quite a

basing his expectations on the expe-
rience of his grandfather in New York

industry. knowledge of how and
when to act is as necessary for the
farmer as it is for the general of an

applies even more to the practice or
agriculture than to some other lines.

Mr.. Southwick is doing on his ranch
what any man of equal brains and
energy can do on land of the same
character. He is one of many men
who are meeting with success in farm

is not finding success in that line in

fault of the valley.

GROWTH TO LEAD THE STATE
Careful Estimates Made by Men En-
ployed by Wisconsin Telephone Com
pany Shows Estimates Of Future
Population of Wisconsin Cities.

F. M. McEniry, commercial superin-
tendent of the Wisconsin Telephone
Company, has made up some interesting
statistics in regard to cities in what
is known as the Green Bay district Of
the business of the company and he
shows that in this district Kenosha has
a greater future than any of the other
cities. He shows that in twenty years
Kenosha will be second only to Racine
in the district and estimates the pop
ulation of Kenosha at the end Of two
census taking periods at $4,000. In his
estimate he gives to this city greater
growth than to any other city in the
district. 1t is claimed that he figures
given out by the telephone company
are based on the most carefully prepar
ed estimates and that the company is
now building all of its lines to apply
to these figures. Special men have been
sent into the various cities to study
the characteristics of growth and it is
declared that the figures finally obtain
ed are based on actual conditions of
growth in the various cities. The com
pany gives Kenosha population of
q, 800 in 1914 and sees greater growth
for it in the twenty years than has
been shown in the past ten year
periods. The figures as given relating
to the various cities in the district fol

The arrangements made by the Home

The arrangements made by the Home
Telephone Company to. put large per-
centage of it's wires under ground are
long step in the right direction and
we wish that it were possible to force
every overhead wire off the streets of
the city. A plan was proposed some
time ago whereby every overhead wire
in the city would have had to go under
ground within five years from the pas
sage of the proposed ordinance, but
with the tender regard for the public
service corporations which distinguish
ed our city council at that time the plan
never got much further than a sugges-
ton. But if Kenosha is ever to re-
quire the wires to be put under ground
action along that line cannot be delay
ed much longer. Every block Of pave
ment put down on any street or any
alley in the city makes it just that
much more difficult to order the wires
buried, but if this great Improvement
is ever to be made start on it will
have to be made some time and with
one of the great corporations Voluntari-
1v going ahead with this work measures
should be taken to force the other com
panies having overhead wires on the
streets of the city to make some kind
of start towards getting their danger
Gus overhead lines under ground. 1t
would impose too much of burden on
the companies to require them to place
conduits on all streets at once and there
would be strenuous objections from
property owners against having any of
the pavements torn up for this work,
but if rule were made that all
wires must be buried on every
street that is to be paved from
now on just as service pipes for
water and gas are ordered in be-
fore the paving is commenced5 the ex-
pense of making these Improvements
would not fall too heavily upon the
companies and wires would disappear
III inc couIo0 VI tIAhe' 1HIS Is one OF
the problems in municipal improvement
that it will take years to work out, but
it will never be solved unless a start
is made on it in some way and the time
to start is row. 1t is pity that an
ordinance requiring underground wires
could not have been forced through the
council two or three years ago before
all the new paving went down, but
that cannot be helped now.

along. Why, even one highbrow can't
get along"
But he doesn't approve Of Sinclair s
dietary ideas. II never know" said
he, when I take meal with Uppie,
whether he will declare that the only
sane diet is to chew prune 400 times
and then rub the stone In the hair, or
whether he will want forty pounds Of
raw meat and couple of unlocked
cabbages. He doesn't run true to form,
one might say. He never has the
same idea about food twice in success

where he had planned a sort of So
cialistic Garden of Eden. BY and by

when do we eat?' | asked Uppie,
There said he, is loaf of whole
wheat bread, and the spring is only
200 yards away He began to tell me
that this sort Of cold poultice was all
my stomach needed.
That may be all right for your
stomach said I, but my stomach has
been pampered When does the next
train leave?'
In which direction?' asked Uppie.
Amy direction said I.
But before | left I did one good
deed. I'd noticed peaked kind of e
pup leaning against the wall OF Up

the dog was 'stubbohn.'
He jes' won't eat his tomatoes,
says this dinge. An Mistah Sinclair
says tomatoes is a puffect food for a
dog
Il guess that's right says l.
That's all they're fit for. But before
| go me and the dog are going to have
feast
SO sent out and bought five
pounds OF steak, and I broiled it over
an open fire and the dog and me eat
the whole works. The fragrance OF
the broiling brought Uppie out Of his
tent. He stood there looking at us,
with tears In his eyes and water on
his lips.

the moral OF this lesson has been

Oxygen is rs necessary to the body

any other time. Perhaps in the case
Of children it is even more necessary.
For them sleep means the time of
anabolism, growth and repair. The
old prejudice against open windows
still exists, in spite of the campaigns
OF education in the newspapers and
In the schools Dust in the rooms,
an imaginary draft, the fear of colds,
and many other stupid reasons are
advanced in excuse of this pernicious
prejudice.
The organs of the body also should
be considered, and no excessive work
