4 VISIT TO FORMER
BARABDO PEOPLE

We left Los Angeles March Is at
9 O'Clock and got to Ontario at 10.
We were met by Mr. and Mrs. Will
liams, formerly Of Baraboo, with their
Buick car. Both Mr.. and Mrs. Williams
are looking fine. They took us to their
home on the outskirts of the city,
where they own five acre orange
farm, and the trees were loaded. They
have pretty, seven room cottage, also
a barn and chicken ranch with White
Min orca, Buff Orpington, and Rhode
Island Red chickens. The front yard is
full of geraniums and garden flowers.
They took us for ride after dinner
on Euclid avenue, which is fourteen
miles long, street car line on either
side, with shadetrees on both sides; the
best avenue in California. They also
took us to see the plant where they
make the crates, sort, pack and ship
the oranges by the car load, all done by
machinery. Mr.. Williams owns
fourth interest in the factory and it is
quite sight to see all those men and
women at work. The orange, lemon and
grape fruits are citrus fruit and besides
these Mr.. Williams has the camphor
plum, apple, peach, apricot and prunes,
a couple of trees of each of the last
named fruit. In his orchard he has Fl
tanks of oil of 125 gallons each to use
in case of frost, but did not have to
use any of it this year. They also heat
the dining room with an oil heater, with
a fifteen gallon tank on the outside to
supply the crude OIL
Mrs Williams is quite an artist and
musician and does all her own work
She is expecting her sister. Mr.. and
Mrs. Williams are both enjoying good
health and have lots of friends in Cali
fornia, but want to be remembered to
their many friends here.
We found everything all right in our
home here when we got back, which
shows what good neighborhood we
live in.

BANK TALKS
BY the First National Bank
of Baraboo.
Bank talk No. III

THE CAPITAL and Surplus of the
First National hank is owned by those
who have money to loan and not by Dor
rowers. No bank can have prosperous
career if its stockholders take out in
loans, the money they have paid in as
capital, for such bank, being rendered
unable to accommodate the business
public outside of its owners, deprives
itself of one of the principal elements
of success.
The Board of Directors take per-
sonal interest in the officers and their
methods OF discharging their duties
and in the most important matter of
looking after the investments of the
bank, not to favor granting loan that
they would not make from their own
funds.
This bank is home institution. Our
loans are made right here at home to
our good farmers and business men,
1t is a home institution for our home
people. Your money is safe in this
bank to your credit. If you carry it
in your pocket or leave it at home it
may be lost or stolen. Come in and
let us talk these matters over with
you.

NEWSPAPER MEN
ARE ENTERTAINED
Yakima Valley Editors Banqueted at
Grandview-Organize Press
Association

Editors from every town in the
Yakima Valley from Ellensburg to
K ennewick were invited to Grand
view last Saturday as guests of w.
w. Butler, president of the Grand
view Farms Co. To acquaint the
various scribes with the scope of
the dairying business of that section
was the main object of the gather
ing.
After trip to several of the big
dairies of the section, a royal ban
quet was served, which was followed
by meeting, at which the news
paper representatives formed a press
association, comprising editors of
papers within Yakima and Benton
counties.
At the Grandview Farm where
the first stop was made twenty head
of high grade Holstein COWS and
heifers were on exhibition. Experts
pronounce this herd the equal OF
registered stock in everything but
the pedigree. Aside from the ex-
cellence of the stock one ex-
ceptional feature was noted. Mr..
Butler explained that the entire
herd had been fed, with the aid OF
a sixty-ton silo, from three acres oi
alfalfa and one acre of corn. A
portion of this herd will be for sale
the last of the month to make room
for the increase.
A stop was made at the Erly ranch
where a herd OF over thirty fine reg.
istered Jerseys are making their
owner rich. A milking machine al
work was the feature of most par.
ticular interest here, and those oi
the editors who had served as at
tendants to herd of cattle in Their
boyhood days, heartily endorsed the
contrivance. All except Editor
Muroney of the Granger Enterprise
He disagreed with the bunch simply
because he is Irish to his backbone
and was pining for a scrap.
Grandview has some exceptionally
fine orchards, and their roads are
quite out of the ordinary for this
country and as hosts they have nc
equal. But, in spite of their fine
fruit trees they look to the stock.

BANK REPORTS GOOD BUSINESS

The annual meeting for the elec-

Emery Olmstead, vice president OF
the Portland Trust Co., was up from
Portland to be present at the meet
ing. The same officers were re-
elected for the coming year with the
exception of H. G. J. Tweedt as

from the country. to make his per-
manent home in Honolulu, Ingwal]
Smith was elected to serve in his
place.
In review of the years business,
the officials in the bank express
themselves well satisfied with the
substantial increase. Min etee n
thirteen has been the best year that
this bank has ever had, said Cashier
Mattecheck yesterday. 1t was a
very good year with us but we con
fidently expect an even larger show.

LONG DISTANCE PHONE
TOLLS ADVANCED

The Public Service Commission
of this state has allowed the Bell
Telephone Co. to change their long
distance calls to an air line basis
during such time until the commits
sion can set valuation upon the pro-
perty upon which to base final rate.
The local exchange is operated
upon the Bell system and the charges
will apply at this point. Substan-
TALLY, the new charges are five mills
per air line mile. plus five cents ter
,minal charges; This for the first
minutes use; one half the above
charge for each successive minutes
use.
The new rates are a reduction on
the entire system of 65%, while 14%
of the tolls remain the same.
Twenty-one per cent of the rates
are increased. This charge applies
only to calls within the state; all
interstate calls are to be charged as
heretofore.
The new rates make it con-
siderably more expensive to talk
to Spokane and Seattle" " said Man
ager Brown, and we don't want to
bear all the blame. On calls further
than fifty miles the price goes up, but
J on lesser distances there is notice
able reduction. The theory is good
and will no doubt work out we'll. "

DON'T FEED THE HOBOES

I The city administration is making
an earnest effort to discourage un-
employed tourists" from begging
on the streets or from house to house
for hand OUTS" and request the
cooperation of citizens in breaking
up the practice.
Whenever you are the recipient
of a touch" from one of the wan
dering gentry you are requested to
gently but firmly refuse and to di-
rect the applicant to the Office of the
mayor or the chief of police. Here
he will be registered, given a shovel
and put to work on the streets for
two hours, after which he will be
given an order for one square meal
and then ordered to get out of town.
This seems altogether to be an
humane and reasonable policy and
if adhered to by citizens and police
alike, should abate the begging nuis-
ance to a great extent. OF course,
any householder is perfectly at
liberty to give applicants employ
ment in exchange for meals or
money if he sees fit.
