PLAY IS BOTH GOOD AND BAD.


One of the most indefinite and mis-
leading words in the English language
is the word "play," according to
Prof. e. J. Ward of the University of
Wisconsin, who lectured in BaraboO
recently before the County Life con-
ference. He says we use the word
"play" to describe the worst, most
degrading and brutalizing of all our
activities on lhe ore hand, and we use
the same word to uescribe the best and
noblest activities on the other.
eve describe the hectic gambling
that leads to insanity and suicide as
play and we describe the production
of beautiful music as play"
"The two kinds of play are alike
In that they are both free activities;
but one is the freedom of destruction,
of dissipation, of conflict, while the
other is the freedom of harmony and
cooperation.
"The essence of such so called play
as gambling or pugilism is the express
sion of the brutal desire to win at the
expense of another. The essence of
the other sort of play is the idea of
harmonious cooperation. This is the
principle back of every beautiful work
of art; the principle expressed in
music, drama and architecture. 1t is
the principle of utility as expressed in
every invention and development of
labor-saving machinery. It is the
principle of life and health in both the
individual and the whole community,
and only on this principle shall
progress be made.
"Health in the individual is har-
monious coordination and unified
progressive functioning to a common
end. Disease, in the individual, is
disorganization and strife. The same
is true of the community as whole.
"The one great embodiment of the
principle of cooperation in America
is the public school. It is the one i'm
portant beginning of progress toward
that coordination which is not for
the advantage of the few, but for the
whole future and for the common
good.
"The schoolhouse everywhere, both
in the city and in the country, must
be made the headquarters for organized
citizenship if democracy is to be
maintained, and there must be en-
gagged in every community, with his
office in the schoolhouse, civic secre-
tary to be at the service of the people,"

And all the wondering payroll fleet
their public duties shirk,
And murmur, "Gee! just go and see!
Bill Byran's gone to work."
Until Bill shed his platform clothes
and took up his new cares,
The people hereabouts discussed their
little own affairs;
But now the State Departments filled
with many curious throng,

A few evenings ago burglars pried

weeks delay in the work on the dam

At Prairie du Sac the toll bridge
was badly damaged, several spans
being carried some distance down the
river. The high water, in connection
with the outgoing ice, was the cause.

Mrs. Frank Cleveland was instru-

The special election held in the viii
lage of Prairie du Sac for the purpose
of determining whether or not that
village shall construct a new water
system, resulted in a vote of IS to % in
favor of constructing such water
works. Prairie du Sac voted to install
a water system and issue bonds for
the payment of the same only short
time ago, but as there were a few
! technical errors in the procedure of the
board this second election had to be
held. The first election did not deter
mine the amount of money to be raised
to be utilized in construction of the
plant. This, according to the statutes
which govern such procedures, will
have to be done at another special
election

Bill Brgan'S
Gone to Work

Don't talk about your thunderbolt that
drops from clear blue skies,
That's quite tawdry commonplace,
an everyday surprise;
just wait and gather breath to gasp,
for here's piece of news
That's jolted half the whiskers off of
Justice Charles e. Hughes;
That's staggered G. F. Murphy; that
has turned Joe Bailey pale,
And made a lot of senators forget
their Archbold mail,
That's stopped Bill Suffers talking
with short and shuddery jerk.
You've heard it-what? You amt?
Great Scott! Bill Bryan's gone to
work.
That's right. he sure has gone to work,
the capitals a-throb
With shouts that sound through every
street; Bill Bryan's got ajob.
No more he fits from stump to stump
and hands out vibrant chat
About the way they ran things on the
dear old yellow Platte;
But with his fountain pen in hand he

"Isn't it odd how unconVinced we

An aged couple in Iowa recently
sold for SIS, 900 the farm whereon they
had lived for many years. In due
course the purchaser called with a
notary to close up the sale. The notary
had prepared deed which the farmer
signed and passed to his wife whose
signature also was necessary.
To the surprise of everyone the
woman declined to put her name to
the document.

thirty years." she SAID, "and am not
going to sign away my rights unless I
get something out of it that can call

immovable. The purchaser evinced
signs of nervousness, since he felt that
the woman's demands might be I'M

Finally, after further parley, he
steeled himself to put the momentous
question, "How much will you take
to sign the deed?"
