Mr.. Cary cited Grand Rapids when
not under normal conditions as an
illustration of the growing laxity
of parental control over children,
which is not only evident in any
one particular community, but every
where. When he stopped off at

Life is what you make it, this

ping bags and belts at the Johnson

all his five senses, but was taken i'll
with spinal menengitis and recoV
cred from that disease to.ally blind.
All Of his work, which is remarkable,
is done by the sense of touch alone
Mr.. Buggy said that when first
stricken he was not only discour-
aged but thought that life was not
worth living. He has learned this
trade of making hammocks, nets, and
these novelties and goes from city to

NEW ZEALAND
BUTTER IN STATE
Quality a Little Deficient--Price
Is No Lower

"MilWaukeeans for the first time
have the novelty of seeing and tast-
ing New Zealand butter said J. c..
Grell, commission dealer who has
just received a consignment of $50
pounds direct from the islands off
the coast of Australia.
lone objection to getting butter
from such a distance is that the
market can do several flcps and
turns before it arrives. We bought
this butter in New Zealand at 2S
cents a pound. Adding the cost of
transportation, the total cost is
81 cents a pound. Since the Elgin
price is 80 to 81 cents at present,
this butter will not be any cheap
er than first-class American butter.
This New Zealand shipment
comes in the form of one solid chunk
packed in a white box, each brick
weighing nearly 60 pounds. The regu-
lar American tubs Will not be &C
cepted for export, as, they take up
too much vessel room. Hence, the
box.
The quality of this butter is a
little deficient 1t would grade about
firsts, or one grade under the best.
However, it seems to evaporate in
ones mouth and to lack body. The
taste is not offensive. Wisconsin
buyers may take New Zealand butter
for a novelty, but after that they
will want good, yellow Wisconsin

(From Mukwona.go Chief. }


Much comment and speculation is
being made by newspaper correspond
ents. business associations and other:
as to the probability of what the
contemplated "cut Of between Grand
Rapids and Mukwonago Will be,
First The Chief desires to tell
our good friends, in various !ocad1-
ties, that when this section OF road
is built, that it will so just exact
" where the 500 Line officials con-
template putting it. We believe they
know, and further, that outside OF
those officials none others do know.
When built it wild be wholly on the
basis Of what will be for the best
interest of that road But We are
aware that there is a necessity.
The great 500 traffic of the great
northwest is the question, and
how best to handle it and at the
Least expense. If the road builds to
MukwonagO it is because that point
becomes a feature in the economy
Of transportation, We know, you
know and every one knows that Muk'
wonago has a grade that costs the
500 Lime five cars of freight ON eV-
cry train. With this grade elimi-
mated train of forty-five cars can
easily pass where now it is only
forty. This is not supposition, it
s cold hard fact and has always
been swearing stumbling block.
This grade is not a single straight
raise OF nearly so feet to the mile,
but it is a double curve, a ram s
horn in which hundreds of trains
are stalled, where passenger trains
are held up and where greater CON
fusion exists than On any other sec
ton of the line between Chicago
and st. Paul.
The prospective new track which
has been surveyed passes through
this village so as to change the

ticaIly no rise, thus giving a full
train and no confusion. Can any
one estimate this immense saving OF
freight on the thousands of trains
that pass yearly? None but the 500
Line officials. And again this sur
vey from Grand Rapids to Mukw ona,
go shows a saving distance of near,
ly fifty miles, besides passing thru
a rich agricultural district with
numerous thriving villages and the
lakes of OconomoWoc. To cut this
MukWonago curve and grade and
save the immense loss-covers the
whole proposition. 1t is a business
transaction and when the cutoff
is built It will be the straight lime
from Mukwonago to Grand Rapids.
