CHEF EVENT or THE DAY
Passing Of the Milk Train, Not Charge
of Buli, Caused Young Farm
er's Haste.

In rural New England the passing
of a railway train is still matter
of public. interest quite astonishing to
visitors from the city. Last summer
three ladies from Boston hired an
abandoned farmhouse In northern
New England, in q region devoted to
dairying One warm August day they
walked through the rocky pastures
to a farmhouse three miles distant,
in quest Of a two weeks supply Of
butter.
On learning that they had come
through the fields, the farmers wife
exclaimed: "Why, you can't DO back
that way alonel Our bulls out there
in the back lot, and only day fore
yist'day he freed my son-inlaw on a
stun for two hours. I'll have him go
home with you"
With some misgivings on the part
of the women, the little procession
started back under the guidance Of
the young man, the ladies carrying
the butter. All went well TIL they
had gone about a quarter of a mile,
when the escort suddenly called, ex-
citedly: "Come on" and started on
a run toward higher ground.
Thinking that they understood the
occasion of his activity, they needed
70 urging to follow him. On and on
they sped, throwing away their but
ter as an impediment to their speed.
Finally, bathed in perspiration and
gasping for breath, they sank ex-
hausted on a rocky ledge whittier
their guide had led them.
Standing just above. he waved his
arm in dramatic gesture toward the
valley below. where a freight train
could be seen crawling slowly out
from between a cleft in the hills. and
shouted: There she goes-the milk
trainl "--Youths Companion

DIDN'T TRUST HIS LAWYER
Shrewd Client Paid Fee in Advance to
Learn If He Had Reasonable
Chance of Winning.

It was told at luncheon at the Law
yers' club the day before the Equit-
able building burned down. A group
of legal luminaries were gathered
about a table discussing the apparent
impossibility of insuring the honesty
of any man, and It was contended that
there was no remedy for 1t save to
pick out your man and trust him abb
solutely. No matter what safeguards
you might hedge him about with. IL
he was dishonest he would contrive
to cheat somehow. One of the law
yers told this story to emphasize his
point:
A client went into a lawyers office
in Fulton street and said that he had
a grievance with his neighbor and
wanted to go to law. He stated all
the circumstances of the case and
counsel listened attentively. The case
fully stated, the client asked
well, those are the facts. Do you
think I'm in the right safe enough to
win if go to law with him?"
IF the facts are as stated you GER
talnly have got a case. If were in
your case l should begin suit" an
swered the lawyer.
And how much would your fee be
for taking the case and pushing 1t
clear through"
"Oh, I'll see it through for you for
a hundred dollars"
The shrewd client produced from an
inside pocket well worn wallet, from
which he extracted a roll of bills and
peeled OF one hundred dollars.
There" said he, that's yours. It's
your fee. That's all you'd get If you
tried the case. Now. without doing
any work on it at all, just tell me,
honestly, whether I've any chance of
winning the case"

A WISCONSIN game preserve of
10000 acres for the protection and
propagation of moose and elk may be
established in Villas county. State
authorities are looking with favor
upon the project and will visit the
proposed location this week. North
ern Wisconsin is becoming famous
for its game, its inland lakes and its
productive farming lands. On Plum
lake, Chicago people have a resort
where upwards of 100 boys are taken
every summer for an outing They
have base bali and tennis grounds:
tents are used for the boys, and cot
tages for all parents who care to use
them. One man is in charge of each
squad of sever boys. They have
launches, canoes, boats, etc. Boys
are taught how to swim, how to use
boats; how to shoot, etc. At the end
OF the season these boys are full of
health and brown as Indians. There
is another like camp for boys on
Tomahawk lake. We understand
that there is to be another at Hazel
hurst with resort that will cost
$4,000. The Shryners are preparing
to build summer resort for members
of the order and their families on
some one lake in northern Wisconsin.
Of the hundreds of little lakes
north of us, there is not one
but what has beautiful surroundings
and it is only question of time
when all the property about these
lakes will be purchased.

DEMOCRAT FREE SUGAR
TRADE PLAN STIRS
PLANTERS.

louisiana sugar interests ARD
aroused because of certain para
graphs in the Democratic "Text-
Book" for 1912, issued by tha
Democratic national committed
and the Democratic congressional
committee. One paragraph
states
$50 far as the domestic inter
ests are concerned, the profits IRE
ferring to protective duties on
sugar. go directly into the poek-
cts OF certain planters and the
promoters of beet sugar plants.
They are not divided with labor,
for louisiana pays lower wages
than Cuba; in the beet fields OF
the Vest Japanese, Mexicans and
Hindrs are chiefly employed, and
upon a labor contract basis"
The paragraphs most offensive
to Louisiana sugar planters fol-
low:
"After receiving subsidies both
throug Oh direct bounties and indi-
rectly through the tariff for more
than 100 years, the sugar industry
of Louisiana If 1t cannot stand
alone, has no further claim upon
the American people, 1t is alb.
srrd to ask the government to tax
consumers through the tariff
1926, 100000 annually, so that
Louisiana may produce q crop,
the yearly value of which is aheut
$25, 100000. We should look to ip.
dustries that could be of service
to the American people, and no.
to industries that the American
people must serve.
"The absurdity of attempting
to frame tariff on the differ
ence Of cost Of production be
tween here and abroad theory is
shown first By the vide range in
the cost Of production at home.
The beet sugar factories In Cali
fornia, by their own reports, pro-
duct sugar at go cents per
pound.
"Tbe Hardwick investigating
committee found that the average
cost to produce beet sugar in the
United States was 3.54 cents per
pound. Louis'ana claims that it
costs 3.75 cents per pound. The
Hardwick investigating commit
tee found that the average cost
to produce beet sugar In the
United States was 1874 cents.
Louisiana claims that it will cost
so cents more to refine and mar
ket the product, making the cost
4.35 cents per pound. I"
"It would mean the ruin of the
sugar industry Of Louisiana and
dependent industries, and work
hardships on thousands of Louis
lana residents.
"The adoption of free sugar
platform by any political party
would mean naturally the judicial
execution Of Louisiana s hopes for
the future. For years and years
we have striven, many times
against heavy odds, to build up
the very industry now sought to
be destroyed by other interests.
The writer Of that alleged text
book, incidentally, overlooks the
fact that, under present condi-
tions, the government is receiving
500, 900 900 revenue annually from
sugar importations.
Free trade should not by any
means apply unfortunately.
Louisiana $ sugar industry still
needs protection. The fact that
the South, since the Civil War,
has been slow to develop, should
