That more than fifteen million per-
sons in the United States will record
their votes for President In the cam
paign of the present year is evident
from the official statistics of presiden-
tial vote published in the Statistical
Abstract of the United States, which
has just been issued by the Bureau of
Statistics, Depart ment of Commerce
and Labor.
John Davis, Winnebago Indian
residing on farm near La Crosse,
brought wolf scalp in to the county
clerk there last week, drawing boun-
~ of $40 from the county as we'll as an
equal amount from the state. Davis
declared that he killed the animal,
which was of large size, with a club
several days ago. While out fishing
with another Indian, the dogs tracked
the wolf to pile of brush and logs
where they attacked him. Worn out
by the fight, the Indian was able to
finally Kill him with club.
While William Terry was enjoying
! few hours in the city cell he pro-
/ ceeded to keep busy. Like a strong
man he yanked the radiator from its
moorings and attempted to smash his
way to freedom, Portions of the win
dow casing and parts were broken and
pulled off. During portion of the
time the board of education was at
tempting to hold meeting lasting I'M
til late but the racket in the cell was
so great that it sounded much like
locomotive blowing its way through
a hardware store. Finally the police
were called and hilarious Terry was
taken TO the county Jail. Afterwards
he paid his fine and for the damage
done.
Load after load of strawberry plants
are being shipped to many points in
the country. The business is increas-
ing every year and has become an inn
portant factor in the business at Bara-
boo. The leading shippers are M. F.
Foley, &. r.. Pearson and w. j. Harri-
son. The nursery business of the
Great Northern Nursery, of which .
Mr.. Foley is president, is growing
year after year.
William Toole & Sons report that
they shipped about 5000 pansy plants
this week. They never had so many
orders to fill at this season of the year.
Many plants died last winter in other
localities and this, together with the
increased advertising of the firm, has
added to the sales.

RULING FACTOR :. !. :. :. !.
HERE IS MONEY

There are many people, especially in
large cities, who complain so much oil
foreign immigration and believe til at to
be the chief cause of low wages, high
prices and hard times generally, but
there are other conditions that make
the situation more complex. 1t is as
much the way foreign workers are
treated after they come here that
makes trouble as that too many are
here. The idea that fellow mortal is
ignorant because he does not know the
same things in the same way another
one does is erroneous but very COM
mon.
Foreigners come here and find
money the ruling factor. If the law
grips them they have only to raise the
money and all's we'll. They pay their
way out of trouble and begin again,
not more honest but more careful.
Their silence is assumed to be ignor-
ance when in fact it is caution and
they are learning how the law is Jug
gled to favor the money holders. These
conditions will exist as long as money
is the criterion of responsibility.
More examples of honesty and fair
dealing, less teaching and preaching
without practice would insure a far
more harmonious, happy life for all.

Swearing in Public.

The use of profane and obsence
language is never excusable, but the
use OF 1t where women can not help
from hearing it is especially objection
able. All men, who have this disgust
ing habit are too careless about when
and where they indulge in it.
Men when they gather in groups on
the street often swear vigorously.
Women passing by can not help from
hearing the foul language. Also men
at times in their place Of tu int IS
when no women are present use foul
language and speak so loudly that
women in adjoining buildings and
even across the street can not help
hearing it.
While we are certain that this is
usually due to care essness and
thoughtlessness, still it is often i've to
the women and degrading to the men
There Is no habit that grows on one
more than swearing. Some men are
so addicted to 1t that they can hardly
express themselves without using All
oath in almost every sentence. When
foul language continually comes from
the lips, the thoughts must become
foul. The use Of such language is
certain to lower the moral standard
OF the user. 1t also lowers the user
in the estimation of all who come in
contact with him. Think of the peo-
pie you know, who are given to this
habit and while some Of them are men
Of high standards, high ideals and
strong character, is it not true that
they are generally men of low thoughts
immoral and have weak characters,
And we all Know that an oath never
added anything to any statement,
never made any statement stronger.
Women are entitled to walk or drive
along the streets, work in offices and
places OF business without being in
suited, without being frequently en-
barrassed by hearing foul and obscene
language.
AS we walk along the streets we
frequently hear men who are talking
on the street swear awful oaths or
hear them from people inside Of build
ings. These men can not know that
no women are around, all they know
is that they are not talking to women !
Even the man who swears condemns
1t in others and knows that 1t is an
injury TO himself.
1t is a senseless disgusting and de-
grading habit. 1t is offensive to Others
and some means should be devised TO
put stop to it at least on the public
streets and in places Of business, where
women can not help hearing It, 1t is
violation Of the law to use profane,
obscene or indecent language and the
law should be enforced.

minute description of the various mod
els. The new models, which were placed
on exhibition in the local salesroom OF

touring car. five-passenger six-cylinder
touring car. known as the Little Six. "
and seven-passenger Six-cylinder tour
ing car, known as the Big Six" These
cars represent the labor Of eleven years
and the experience of threS-auarters Of
a century. 1t is over seventy-seven years
since the Mitchell manufacturing inter-
ests first engaged in the building of
high-grade vehicles Thus the accumu-
lated experience and the special facili-
ties and methods that have been en-
ployed during more than a decade con-
stitute the basis upon which they have
founded a business and engineering sue
cess that Is said to rank second to none
in the automobile industry.
The new 1912 cars are the latest and
most approved examples Of their respec-
tive types, designed and manufactured
by an organization that for years has
been committed to a consistent policy
of creating the highest value for the low
est cost.
In taking the agency for the Mitchell
car Mr.. Leary announces that the service
feature will appeal to the purchaser. and
that when q. customer departs from his
store he considers that he has purchased

RADIO. In its official announcements these
quotations are featured: Between seed
time and harvest let's discuss the good
roads question; "Boulevards between
the states and the cities will make trave
easy and trading profitable; will save
many gray hairs and more horses" and
finally, National assistance for good
roads in the intermountain states won't
hurt the nation and will help every.

A subject which greatly interests the
intermountain association Is that of
opening up Yellowstone Park to automo-
bile travel. and the Montana good roads
congress is likewise concerning itself In
the same direction. Recently Senator
Hepburn of Idaho. who frankly says he
is in favor of federal aid for the con-
struction of interstate roads, introduced
a resolution in the Senate calling upon
the War Department for informal ton In
regard to the probable expense of re-
constructing the roads for the better ac-
commodaton of motor-driven vehicles. Ii
has been asserted that the presence OF
automobiles on the roads in the park
would interfere seriously with horse
drawn travel, which method of transport
is still employed by the stage lines hav-
ing the park transportation concession.
