THEY SERIOUSLY OBJECT

Recently the st. Paul road placed
large searchIights on two of their
night trains and trouble has arisen
along the Mississippi river. Lovers
in boats, hammocks and secluded
spots object to the bright light being
poured upon them and would like the
innovation banished at once. The
passengers on the trains like the
novelty and no doubt travel will In
crease in order to enjoy the continuous
vaudeville along the river scenery. The
light is so strong its rays penetrate
the darkness for three miles.

THE BILL BOARD NUISANCE.

A Baraboo resident, who has bet n

he came he was impressed with the
beautiful scenery about the town and
remarked upon the fact that.there
were but few billboards. The absence
of the boards along the drives

City officials have made a contract

There should be a tendency on the
part Of not only the city officials but
of all to make the city more beautiful.

Banana Eaters,

Americans used TO be called nation
OF pie eaters. Today a more appro-
pirate term would be nation OF ba-
mana eaters. The United States takes
more than two-thirds Of the bananas
shipped to the handlers in the world.
Part of this preeminence in banana
consumption is due to geography; the
source Of supply on the Caribbean is
almost at our doors. Part is due to
accident; a Boston skipper introduced
the American public to this tropical
fruit while it was still unknown in
Europe. Whatever reason one may
choose to give, the United States Is
the worlds chief banana market, and
though the use Of this fruit is increas-
ing abroad, the American boy remains
the Jamaica growers best friend.
