The efforts of the Baraboo CONNER
cial club have at last been successful and
the city has been discovered. In other
words it has arrived and tango song,
which will make the city known
throughout the length and breadth of
the land, has been woven about the
municipalities poetic name according
to number.
1t was written by an anonymous con-
tributor to Golfers Weekly as a sug-
gestion for war song, but has become
popular for other'reasons.
L. S. Van Orden Of the Commercial
club is satisfied that genius has arisen
in the land and says that if Baraboo
only knew what tune to sing it to, it
would be adopted as the official song of
the city.
The song is as follows:
Gust before the battle let me tattle
something that'n
Keep a jig, jig, jigging in your heart
so true
'I'm thinking of you, honey, amt it
funny? Life is sunny
''And I'd give lot of money to be safe

1t has even been suggested that the
city's business associations offer a
prize for lifting melody for this song,
if none exists, TO popularize the city
through the power of ancing feet.
Mayor George T. Thuerer has said that
the song might be all right, as far as
it goes, but the principle objection is
that it is not complete. F" He would
have chorus and other verses while
President H. E. Cole of the Sank Coun-
ty Historical society thinks the muse
who furnished the inspiration of this
verse would tire before any chorus and
other verses could be written.
