The Dog Came Back.

About March 1St Oscar Reaklen-
walt moved from Lilly. Illinois.
which is near Chicago. to the neigh
borhood of Hazard about S miles
east of this city.
Mr.. Reaklenwalt shipped his goods
in freight car and among his be-
longiDes were two dogs. a shepherd
and collie. A few days after his
arrival one OF the dogs, the shep-
herd, left lis new home and in
about a week arrived at his old
home in Illinois.
Something like week after the
departure of the first dog the collie
became home sick and cleared out
but for some cause after wandering
about several days came back ap-
parently satisfied to remain.
Later, the dog back in Illinois,
possibly on account of his recent
experiences in travelling, took to the
road again and hasn't been seen
since 1t is supposed the dog has
attained the rowing habit and con-
cluding that Missouri was so much
better place than Illinois decided to
to return and Mr. Reaklenwalt looks
for him to arrive most any day.
The strange feature of the case
is how this dog ever found his way
back to his old home The distance
is nearly three hundred miles and
in shipping to Missouri the dogs
were tied in the end of a box Car
and it was impossible for them to
enjoy the scenery along the route.
Owing to their position in the car
the dogs could certainly not dis
tinguish directions or know but lit
tie of the country over which they
travelled; and it would be interest
ing to know by what manner of in
stinct or knowledge the dog was
guided to his old home
Many stories were related by the
early settlers of Missouri of the
wonderful feats performed by dogs
which went back to Kentucky and
other distant points, but in those
cases the dogs were moved over
land which would make it easier to
retrace their steps. The sagacity
of the dog is we'll known and it is a
fact that he becomes homesick the
same as human being, but what
is the mysterious instinct that
guides him back to his native heath?

Ismay.
Men felt their vessel sinking into
the icy wave and calmly and un-
shrinking they gazed upon their
grave; no coward cries of panic the
winds of midnight bore from out
the doomed Titanic and Ismay
came ashore. The peasant, rude
and loWly, sank fearless in the foam
repeating prayers holy, his eyes
toward his home; the Croesus died
serenely and sank to oceans floor,
and no one perished meanly but
Ismay came ashore. Men faced
their doom as Stole faced death in
days of old; oh. human souls heroic
oh, hearts of tested gold! The wild
dark waves forever your requiem
will roar! Your fame will perish
never and Ismay came ashore.
The bride and groom were parted,
the parent died alone, and children
tbroken-hearted. can only mourn
and moan, and dream about the
faces, the smiles they'll see no more
in old familiar places and Ismay
came ashore. All. ne'er was such a
story on poets pages placed, the
triumph and the glory of manhood
undebased! Of manhood strong and
tender, of hearts of virgin ore, of
death when death is splendor and
lsmay came ashore!

They Have Of Set Against Crilley.

Members of the Cleary, White, New
man Company, contractors for the
trunk sewer, were in Kenosha on Sat
urday afternoon and they declared to
the city engineer that the machinery
which was claimed by the Crilley COM
pany was mortgaped to them in the
amount of $4,000. The members of the
firm took up with the city envineer
the question of the trunk sewer and
they declared that it would be neces-
sary to rebuild the arch of the tun-
mel for ten feet on account of the fact
that the concrete was not thick
enough. It was alleged by the con-
tractors that they had found that the
concrete was but four inches thick on
this small portion Of the work. 1t is
claimed by the officials that the de-
feet is not serious one and that it
will be an easy matter to make the
change. 1t is said that the remainder
of the sewer is satisfactor to the con
tractors AS yet no inspection of it
has been made by the members of the
common council.

SEEK BANNER YEAR
Wisconsin Farmers Expect
Coming Potato Crop Will
Break All Records.
BIG MONEY IN POTATO CROP

Wisconsin farmers are intending
to make greater banner records in
production Of potatoes than ever be
fore this year, = declares e. w. Sell
ers of Stevens Point. He adds that
the records Of previous years yields
are creditable, in many instances
reaching over four hundred bushels
per, acre, and he also insists that
Stevens Point is the center of great
and growing potato industry, saying:
POTATOES have been selling in this
market this winter as high as $l.10
per bushel, and the last statement of
the local banks in this county shows
that their deposits increased this win
ter to the extent of over 100000, as
compared with 1911, principally from
potato culture, which proved a YER
liable bonanza to many of the agri-
culturists. v. P. Atwell raised 400
bushels to the acre.
"a Buena Vista farmer, who had
paid $4,000 for his farm three years
ago, harvested $4,000 worth Of .pota-
toes in 1911. His crop from another
farm brought him additional revenue
and he cleared altogether from his
years efforts over $4,000.
sEJohn Gosh Of Custer, raised 507
bushels in 1911 on patch containing
one and one-quarter acres, while
John Kubisiak Of Amherst Junction
secured AIS bushels from one and one
half acres. Frank Richter Of Polynia
harvested 426 bushels to the acre off
patch containing three acres. Aug.
Oesterly Of Sharon, who paid particu-
lar attention to a patch of one acre
and ten square rods, sacked therefrom
at the rate of 517.36 bushels to the
acre. =
The crop of last year is reported
from all parts of the state to have
been practically cleaned out of the
producers hands, while but small
stores are remaining in the ware
houses of the wholesale dealers in the
principal cities and towns.

as TO just how the towns should act
as to the levying Of a tax for county
and state aid highways for next year,
give below the letter received from
A. R. Hirst, state engineer on the
subject.
Madison, Wis, Mar. 81, 1912.
Russell Jones,
Kenosha, Wisconsin.
Yours of the oath inst in regard to
form Of resolution TO be voted at town
meetings this sprirg is received. ]
believe that forms of resolutions we
sent out are in compliance with law,
and that a vote should be taken by
| the town on whether or not to adopt
a resolution stating the amount of tax
voted, and the character and place of
the improvement. If that resolution
is lost for the amount stated in the
resolution, new resolution can be put
with different amount or with a diff
ferent road until it is finally decided
! just what the town wishes to do.
| | believe it would come within the
law, however, if the resolution gave
the amount of tax and specifically
stated that the voters of the town left
the character of the Improvement and
its position to be decided later by the
town board This would probably be
construed to mean selection within
the meaning of the law.
| The law was, however, drawn so
that towns would have a chance to
place these Improvements just where
the voters desired. If they wish to
waive this right in favor Of the town
boards, however, | can see no OBJ
lection.
Yours very truly,
