FINE NEW LAUNDRY
At COUNTY FARM

During the past summer mum arous
improvements have been made at the
Sank County Hospital near Reedsburg
which is under the capable management
of Mr.. and Mrs. G. Christensen. Mr..
Christensen is always alert to the COM
fort of his patients and has done much
in the way of improving conditions their
during his superintendent. The latest
addition is fine new laundry built of
brick and without expense to the county
except for part of the material, the
work being done entirely by the in
mates. The building is commodious
and we'll equipped for handling the
enormous washings, each piece of m a.
chinery being made as near fool proof
as can be to avoid possible injury to
those doing the work.
A twenty foot extension has also
been built this summer to the dairy barn
and the building has been fitted up
with humane COW stanchions, cement
floors and cork footing for the indivjd-
ual stalls and a yentilating system has
been devised to render the cattle house
as sanitary as possible. The building
will accommodate 40cows. A fine tile

At recent meeting of the state
board of control at Madison the plan
of selecting one of the county asylums
for the accommodation of the tubercular
insane patients throughout the state in
order to isolate them was discussed and
later some of the institutions visited
with this end in view. Among the
places visited was the Sank County
hospital and this was reported upon
favorably as a suitable location, the
board commencing Mr.. and Mrs.
Christensen very highly for the manner
in which the institution was conducted.
A visitor to the hospital cannot but be
favorably impressed with the efficiency
exhibited everywhere.

Judge Calkins
Declined Expenses

Judge Calkins has been in Port
land for the last two weeks, exchang-
ing places on the bench with Judges
Cleeton and Morrow of the MuItno-
nah circuit The Portland Journal
of yesterday contains the following:
Circuit Judge Calkins does not
believe in increasing the poor mans
burden of taxes by drawing expense
money, for he would accept no eX-
penses from the state during the past
week. Judge Calkins spent two
weeks prior presiding over the courts
of Judge Cleeton and Morrow and,
although they offered to pay his ex-
penses, he declined to accept. When
it came to expenses from the state for
the past week to which he was enti-
tied he said that inasmuch as he had
declined to accept expenses from the
other judges he did not feel justified
in accepting them from the state. AS
a rule the expense account of visit
ing judge averages s. a day"

Portable SaW1nill
To Be Operated

T. II. Johnson of Dallas, Texas, has

pine, fir. cedar and hard wood on
eighty acres of land described as the
north half of the northwest quarter
of section six, township thirty-nine
south, range one west. Mr.. Johnson
is here and will at once install a por-
table sawmill for working the timber
up into lumber. He expects to have
crew of ten or twelve men. Mr..
johnson will not only work up this
tract of timber but is engaging other
small tracts to be turned into lum-
Der. He is an old hand at manipulate
ing the portable sawmill which is so
popular in the south. He says they

ing machine and frequently move
within a few hours from one job and
start in on another. The deal for
this was put through by the Beaver

Rogue River Apples
In Every Southern Market

In every one of sixteen states Wis
tied by H. G.. Enders and wife on
their extended trip south they found
Spitzenberg apples on sale. Not a
single city of prominence was visited
in the entire southern trip but Rogue
River apples were found.
The only drawback to our fruit
is the fact that they are shipped di-
rect to New York and reshipped to
the southern states. This makes
them sell at such a price that is be-
yond the reach of many, and but for
this reason they would meet in COM
petition with fruit from the entire
world. The Rogue River apples are
recognized as the very best, and if
shipped in such way as to command
smaller price could find a wide
market. AS it is they are found only
at fruit stands and the higher priced
hostelries.
Potatoes from Oregon are found
with almost the same frequency, and
this country is being widely adver-
tised by our products"
Mr.. and Mrs. Enders attended the
races at Juarez, Mexico, and speak
entertainingly of conditions along the
border. He found no place, he says,
to compare with the great Rogue
River in either productiveness or eli
mate.

Local Police
Have Uniforms

Ashland can feel at rest as to safe
ty, for our police are now provided
with brass buttons, blue coats. clubs,
and various shiny articles which help
to dignity them. This protects the
citizens in many ways-especially the
auto drivers. They can catch the
CLINT of the sun on the brass of the
officials and reduce their speed be-
fore the enforcers of the law step
into the middle OF the street and de-
mand Halt, in the name of the
city council" This will increase
their vigilance in protecting the lives
and property of our people. for brass
buttons are weighty with responsible
ity and regard for the hundreds of
lives and the thousands of dollars
which are so trustingly given over to
their care. Chief Porter is disap-
pointed, however, because the admin
istration in its thoughtfulness for
economy got all the cloth they could
get for the same price made into his
trousers, and before they can appear
for duty must have tuck. However,
we hope to see him in all his glory
before long, as the tailors are at
work.

Boys Club Will Hold
Regular Political Election

Boys Club meeting Thursday
night was one of special interest and
instruction. The meeting was opened
by a talk from Professor Vining and
a violin solo by Riley Davis. Then
followed a talk by j. w. Mccoy,
which was appreciated by all as il
had a direct bearing on future COM
mercial life. The meaning of legal
tender" was explained and different
coin values-how of much of real
value there is in the silver coins and
gold coins. The method of cheating
the government by sweating" coins
was referred to, together with the
penalty imposed on those engaged in
it. The values of the Canadian and
Mexican coins were compared with
the corresponding coins of American
denomination. The different paper
moneys were shown and explained,
and the restrictions placed upon the
treasury in issuing money. He eX-
planned the method used by Chase
during the civil war in issuing cur
rency and the results.
Mrs. Clyde Cunningham next gave
a piano solo which was heartily en-
cored.
E. v. Carter gave an address in
which he interpreted the qualities a
boy must have to go into bank and
to take up the banking business. He
emphasized the fact that it takes
one of only average ability and it is
not such an isolated enterprise in
which only men of unusual intellects
can engage. Honesty was given as
the chief requisite of banking. He
gave the boys many hints as to the
way of making them fit for the after
business of life; keeping an expense
account of all earnings and disburse-
ments, avoid profanity, and keep
away from liquor and all things
which tend to lower the moral and
Intellectual standard of the man. Mr..
Carter gave several very laughable
incidents of his banking experience
which showed the unfamiliarity OF
people with banking systems.
Professor Vining came in with a
convincing and stirring definition of
real honesty. He told the boys real
honesty was doing the right thing
because the inward conscience de-
manded it-not because they were
afraid of the consequences of doing
wrong.
The nominations for mayor, re-
