Why Bonnie Reasoned He Had Just
Come In Time to Save the
Baby Brother.

Five-year-old Bonnie, who, since the
arrival Of his baby brother three days
before, had been on tip-toe for a sight
Of him, was at last admitted to the
chamber.
AS he entered the dim room, he
saw behind screen the pink body
lying on the lap of the white-capped
nurse, who, having just given it 9
bath, was shaking powder over 1t
from perforated box.
At the sight a look of horror over

goin' to eat little bruvver; she's put
tin the salt on him now!"-New

The report says:
1.-THE year 1913 has been highly pro-
ductiye to the farmers of Wisconsin,
this state leading all other states in
the Union in the production of grains
and grasses. This is accounted for by
favorable climatic conditions and the
fact that Wisconsin farmers are CIV
ing more attention to the selection of
seed and the preparation Of the soil
throughout the season.
''The corn crop has been particular
ly good. Monroe county reports the
heaviest yield of corn in the history
of the county, and several other coun-
ties equal or exceed the production of
any previous year.
"The average yield of wheat for the
state is 1872 bushels, the central and
southern divisions showing a yield of
1914 bushels, as against 1877 bushels
for the northern section.
''The average yield of rye in the
northern division is 17.9 bushels, cen
trail division 17.5 bushels, southern di-
vision 1872 bushels, the general aver
age for the state being 17.9 bushels.
THE average yield per acre of bar
ley for the entire state is 1877 bushels,
each division Of the state showing
about the same yield per acre. This is
also true of oats, the general average
yield per acre for the entire state be-
ing 1913 bushels.
THE yield per acre of corn (shelled)
is 38.1 bushels, the northern division
Of the state showig a yield of S6.8
bushels, central division, 1873 bushels;
southern division, 1872 bushels.
'The average yield of buckwheat is
1873 bushels per acre; flax, 146 bush
els per acre; beans. 15.9 bushels per
acre; peas, 1919 bushels per acre.
Blight and early frost damaged
potatoes to a considerable extent in
some of the larger potato producing
counties. The average yield for the
entire state is 1904 bushels.
"The yield in the principal tobacco
producing counties of the state is as
follows: Dane county, 1875 pounds;
Vernon county, 1,150 pounds; Rock
county, LOO pounds; Columbia coun-
ty, LOO pounds; Crawford county,
975 pounds.
Cabbage yielded at an average of
81 tons per acre. The southern di-
vision of the state shows an average
yield of 1873 tons per acre of sugar
beets. The average yield for the entire
state is 11.5 tons per acre. The aver
age yield of tame hay is 20 tons per
acre; alfalfa, 2.9 tons A total of 27.9
per cent of the total corn acreage was
cut for silage."

State Tax 100000 Larger.

Secretary of State John S. Donald
said that he would announce the state
tax levy next week.

necessary for him to make an addi-
ton to the levy of S1,989,O0O, that part
of last years state tax that had been

not improbable that we will come
overland ON the proposed north and
south highway route. We want q
good road connecting the north
with the south and some of this high

would seem that the logical route
would be from Lewiston south via

iLo-vOLLMER DISTRICT DIVIDED.

The school election for the division
of the Ilo-Voilmer school district held
last Friday, went overwhelmingly for
the division OF the district, the vote
being 264 for and against division.
The result was a complete surprise
to both sides of the controversy
while division was expected to carry
the almost unanimous action in IA
vor of the change was a revelation
to all concerned. The vote represent
ed about 20 per cent of the voters In
the district. The plans provide for
the calling of a bond election for
the construction of a new school build
ing for the Ilo citizens, and will be
called as soon after the appointment
of the new trustees by the county
commissioners as practicable.
This enforcement of the school in
terests of the two towns should have
a tendency to abate the acrimonious
contest which has been under pro-
gress for years. as each side can now
build up their educational interests in
accordance with their own individual
ideas of the needs.

TIES FOR HIGH LINE.
John Atkinson Sells 10000 Ties to
Contractors MuIiedy & Co.
of kooskia.

Last week John r. Addison, living
west of town, contracted $4,000 ties
to Mulledy & Co. the Kooskia tie
contra ctors. for use on the Camas
Prairie line, which it is expected
will this season greatly improve the
roadbed on the Prairie run. The pro
mise was made many months ago
that as soon as the company could
get to it the Prairie line would be
put in to as fine shape as any portion
of the main line, and no doubt this
means a redemption of that promise;
and possibly there have been other
promises made, from the action of the
Lewiston people in withdrawing their
support from the johnson line as
they did recently. after almost rails
ing the sum which they had pledged.
Mr.. Adkison sold the 10000 ties
standing timber on his timber land
just above his ranch, which he has
held for years. His contract calls
for $5 per hundred or a total of 3d.
900, and he does not turn hand. He
says there are almost double that
number of first-class ties on his 200
acre tract, besides world of fine
saw timber. The contractors have
several men already at work get
ting out ties, and will soon increase
