r ReedSburgHen
Must Be
Great.

In previous issue this paper con-
tanned an item from the Reedsburg
Times which said hen in that
town laid an egg SIX and one quarter
inches in diameter. Mrs. Eugene
BonnelI of North Freedom writes that
the hen must be a wonder and adds
that she has an egg which measures
six and one-half inches in circumfer-
ence and weighs four ounces. She
also has a number of other eggs which
roll in the same class. Having never
heard of an ostrich farm at Reedsburg
it is possible that the citizen in that
town picked up the tare measure at
the wrong end.

A number of large foreign corpora

ments as required by law in order to
secure a license from the secretary of
state to do business are waking up to
the fact that they are open 10 PEN
atty of $500 for failure to file a state

OPERA HOUSE is MENTIONED

Some days ago a Chicago Tribune
man came to town and made a dis
covery. The article was illustrated
with pictures of the Ringling homes,
the winter quarters and the vacant
lot where the opera house is to be built.
OF course he found no circuses here,
they always go when spring days
come. The families, too, seek lake and
sea-shore, so the Tribune man probably
looked through the wrong end of his
camera lens when he came to Baraboo.
So many have asked what the Tribune
said that the article is here reproduced

story of the exodus of the Ringlings
