Pipe Calabashes May Be Raised.

Calabash raising may become a new
industry to compete with tobacco, sugar
beets and No. corn in Dane county if
the visions of Rasmus B. Anderson are
to be realized. The calabash is an At
rican gourd used in the making of
pipes. Its natural color is white, but
it takes on rich brown hue from use.
1t has been demonstrated that it can be
grown in this latitude and Mr.. Ander
son has obtained fifty seeds and piece
of ground on the T. K. Reindahl farm
in the town of Burke and will raise his
first crop of pipes this year. These
pipes sell anywhere from 81 to $40 each
and Mr.. Anderson figures that from
these first fifty seeds he should get 200
gourds and enough seeds to plant sew
eral acres and with pipes at from 81

Genuine Old Country Green Soap
The Wizard Soap of the World

To the Soap Using Public:
We present to the soap users of this
country their first opportunity to OBJ
tain and use Old Country Green Soap.
This is not mere advertising declara-
ton, but fact. One, too, that will be
verified by every Scandinavian, Ger
man, and by the many other Old Coun-
try people who are familiar with the
green soap they and their parents used
before coming to this country.
The manufacture of green soap be-
gan in Denmark in 1853, when Profess
sor Waitlow, noted chemist, discover
ed this formula From that time to
the present, this formula has remained
in the same family, passing from one
generation to another until it reached
the family OF Mr.. George Norgaard,
the President of this company. 1t is
as remarkable as it is true, that here
we have one business in one family for
more than one hundred and fifty years.
When soap users learn from actual
experience the various uses of which
this soap is so admirably adapted, or in
other words, when they learn to know
that the wizardry of Old Country Green
Soap covers the entire field of soap
using from washing the coarsest clothes
to the finest fabrics; from scrubbing
floors, including linoleum, to cleaning
the most highly finished woodwork and
highly polished furniture, and that it
performs this work like magic, they
will then know the economy in its use
and will use no other.
A knowledge of it's various uses will
convince anyone that they can dispense
with all other varieties of soaps, cleans
ers, and especially prepared compounds
for Old Country Green Soap does the
work of all of them, whether in the
family, in dishwashing, scrubbing,
washing linoleum, or in cleaning highly
finished woodwork, furniture, bathtubs,
rugs, window shades, etc. In fact, the
uses to which this soap can be applied
successfully are limited only by the
washing and cleaning necessities of all
soap users, which means it's every day

Objectionable Culvert Blown Up.

The culvert that Jerome Bixby built
about year ago across the highway
in front of his farm on the Oregon
road, was Friday evening blown up
with a charge of dynamite, but by
whom is not known. Mr.. Bixby had
the culvert built ostensibly to be used
as a run for his hogs and cattle, as he
owns land on both sides of the road,
but the real reason, say those who
know Mr.. Bixby pretty we'll, was to
give automobile owners a little jar,
should they fail to slow up when cross
ing it. We understand that steps may
be taken to prevent the rebuilding of
the culvert. Stoughton Courier

The legislature has enacted law
which provides that all elections here
after in Wisconsin cities for mayor and
other city officers shall be of nom
partisan character. The law forbids
the party name being placed at the
head of the ticket and by implication
at least. forbids parties from making
party nominations for such officers.
This will compel all nominations to be
made by petition.
There are difficulties enough in the
way of looking after the interests of a
city without having them added to or
manipulated by political considerations.
But it is well for every citizen to re-
member one thing. No law will run
his business for him. In city affairs,
as in his own business, he must take
some personal interest in the way
things are going. We need place
where we can assemble about once a
month and discuss the affairs of our
city. Every good administration would
be glad of such help.

JOHN DEITZ, the Cameron dam de-

the opinion of the court when in con

suit of the defendants defiance of law,
Oscar Harp, who was innocent of
wrong, went to his death without warn

defendant has been found guilty of that

defendant as we may, we have no

Matters of the Memory.

Savages have good memories. They
rarely make false or erroneous mo-
ton. They have mastered their sur
roundings and there are no new
things to distract their attention.
They keep their memory cells un-

great Disadvantage He sees some
new thing every hour. His brain cells
are a veritable, dancing, whirling,
seething nest of memories. It is not
any great wonder that he cannot re-

Talk for WOmdn'S Suffrage.

Friday evening of last week, Mrs. Ella
Stewart of Chicago, spoke from an auto
mobile at the corner of Main and Third
streets to quite an audience which had
cOngregated to hear her argument in
favor of woman suffrage. Mrs. Stewar
who is an interesting taiker, said that
the right of women to vote was world
movement and nothing could stay it.
Already the right has been given in six
of the states and in many municipalities
abroad, and was now being agitated in
several foreign countries. She called
attention to the elective franchise i'm
this country at an early day in its MIS-
tory, right which has been extended
until all vOte-and she might have said
except criminals, lunatics and women.
She said that woman suffrage was the
next great step toward pure democracy
and that the movement has received the
endorsement of thousands Of women re-
presented in their clubs throughout the
country and when they obtain the right,
they do vote, as has been demonstrated
in the states where the right has been
granted them and she might have said,
they vote almost invariably for the we'll
being of society and the protection of
the home.
