gay-plumaged songbird as she sat
perched upon the green bough and
merrily trilled her little song that
cheered the heart of the lonely
pilgrim on his weary journey.
Millions of our kind have given
their lives that the world might
be made brighter, and l refuse
to believe that God would create
us and compel us to live as we do
and then condemn us to a grave
eof oblivion in the end" But
after a lengthy debate they de-
.cided that the life was not worth
living and each wound himself in
his little winding sheet to die.
Winter came with it's sleet and
snow, and at last springtime with
its warm sunshine and showers
bedecked the beautiful fields with
sweet scented flowers, and from
petal to petal were seen two gay.
colored butterflies as happy as
could be.
If God in His wisdom can take
two caterpillars, the ugliest and
lowest form Of His creation, and
resurrect them in the forms Of
two beautiful butterflies, what
will be the future state of man!
There is a future for us all, and
let us train ourselves by deeds Of
charity. by leading good, clean
lives. and by thinking pure, clean
thoughts, better prepare our
selves for that life to come, what
ever it may be.-Ex.

SAM o. NUCKOLLS ELECTED
JUDGE.

Despite the storm of last Tues
day morning which had a tenden
cv to overflow the public roads
and bridges, there were more
votes polled IN the second pri-
mary for the selection of City
Judge last Tuesday than the pre-
ceeding election when there were
seven active candidates in the
field. This was a surprise to
many and showed the interest
taken by the voters in making a
selection for this very important
office. From the opening Of the
booths there was not at any one
time five minutes Intermlsslon
when some voter did not present
himself for a ballot and until
seven in the afternoon it was i'm
possible for any candidate or SUP
porter to have any conception as
to whether DeB,anc or Nuckolls
stood first. AS for bets there
were but few who would take the
risk in backing their choice.
When the Commissioners con-
cluded the task of making a
count to see whether the number
deposited tailed with those IN
the box, it was discovered that
there were six hundred and for
ty-three votes which would have
to be compiled and the spectators
bv the hundreds stood around the
Court House door eager for the
work to proceed. While the first
two votes out of the box were IN
favor of Mr.. DeBlanc, his oppon-
ent Mr.. Nuckolls then took the
lead which he retained until the
final count which showed him
having 332 votes as against De-
Blanc's 294. There were not less
than II spoiled ballots and from
what we understand, Mr.. Muck !
oils had majority of that num-
Der.
1t was not manv minutes after
this before hundreds of the
friends of the victorious winner
commenced to congratulate him
and for hours you could hear
but Nuckolls, the Judge.
The campaign was one free Of any
bitterness whatever and while
we doff our hat to Mr.. Nuckolls
for the manly and gent1emanly
manner in which he made his cam
paign the same can also be said
Of Mr.. Leopold DeBlanc, who,
had he been victorious would
have also striven to give the peo-
pie of New iberia a satisfactory
administration.
The general election which
egalizes Mr.. Nuckolls' right to
The office will be held on the 2lst

,eive his commission from the
Governor about August LIST. We
IAN assure our readers that Judge
Nuckolls will not only make an
efficient officer, but he will en-

vince all ordinances on the
statute books. Let all join hands

PROFITABLE.
Mr.. Editor:

Efforts looking to the perm
anent organization Of an as
ISOLATION the aim Of which, in the
main, will be the Improvement Of
the poultry industry Of our part
of the State, have been made by
a few of our citizens This move
ment should receive the support
of all of us and especially those
of us who realize what this indus
try means. For this reason, il
behOOves those interested to lend
what aid they can to the cause
and help make it success.
Throughout a great part of the
United States, the north and west
principally, the poultry industry
is of such magnitude that agri-
cultural colleges are devoting
9th considerable time and
money to it. 1t has been proven,
beyond a doubt, that applied
science in this business means
something, and that there is more
in Standard Bred than the ave-
rage individual thinks. Perfec-
ton is attainable and with the
standard bred a factor, no mat
ter what sphere considered, sat
isfaction is in sight. Whether
he animal world or the vege-
table world has been success
fully effected, one has but to in
vestigate to be convinced. Ideals
may be considered "rainbows"
by some. but a desire for i'm
provement and perfection should
prompt our efforts: without these
views and hopes we would hard
ly advance.
A great part of the country
recognizes this, and in conse-
quence are reaping the reward.
If one will scan the pages Of our
best poultry journals, they cam
not help but be impressed by the
claims of the fancier's advertise
ments, and especially by the price
these advertisements ask for
eggs. Some may claim the val
uation fictitious, whether eggs or
poultry, but the intake" Of
these fanciers in dollars and
cents confirm a supposition that
there must be something in the
"game. AS the saying goes
dollars talk"
Now what's the matter with
us-'whv cannot we do likewise?
If the poultry industry pays all
over the United States, and I do
not believe this can be denied,
why cannot it pay here?
The writer asking the price Of
a fowl the other day, while talk
ing to one of our local merchants,
was told "wait. let me see how
much she weighs. chickens are
sold by the pound now.'' How
different to the old days when a
chicken was a chicken" and
sold at so much a chicken! Co.
ing, all of it, to prove that there
was something in the size. Ask
ing the price of eggs. I was told
that fresh eggs and those special
w of large and uniform size
brought price which was above
Just eggs proving that there
was some discrimination even in
eggs. The point / wish to make
is that nerfection was worth
while. and that idealism was a
factor looking to the satisfaction
Of both nroducer and consumer.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

Last year Clippinger's Imposition
text book was used in Freshman Eng
lish in the local high school. When
the publishers were reaching for ex-
amples of the actual class work re-
sulting from the use of this text
book, numerous themes giving ex-
cellent proof of the value of the book,
were found among the local classes.
Themes of Clara Gerhard, Media
Munger, Ruth Lombard and Aida
Miller and George Heitl were pub
1ished.
Visitors galore roamed the halls of
the high school last week. 1t APP
pears as if the graduates of last year
are unable to break away from their
old haunts as yet. They do enjoy
rapping on doors and in doing other
Freshmen tricks. Next year we Sen

SEED CORN.


Wherever corn is raised there is a
demand for Wisconsin grown and
cared seed.
A wide market Is open to Badger
state farmers, as the annual sale of
pure corn and grain seed to very many
states and foreign countries shows,
but many farmers who could grow
superior seeds as yet, have not en-
deavored to supply any of this trade.
To produce high yielding seed corn
the type that has won merrited rep
utation for purity and vitality is
not difficult nor does it involve any
great expenditure.
Moreover, there are but comparativ-
lY few farms in Wisconsin where the
raising and marketing of seed corn, as
side line or as one, of the specia.lties,
could not be carried on to advantage.
This year, especially, when there is
a scarcity of seed corn in many sec
lions of the United States, the bust
ness appears to offer unusual oppor-
tunities.
Here's the whole story-g get good
corn to start with, select the best
ears, cure them properly, grade ARD
pack well, and then let people know
that you have some seed corn that is
guaranteed to grow and give big
yields. The odds are all on your side.
Try it.
The University Agricultural Ekper-
iment station. Madison, supplies bulle-
tins describing good methods of select
ing and curing seed corn.

Der 7th. Mr.. and Mrs. Stolze stood
the trip over to Europe very well, but
coming back Mrs. Stolze was very sea-
sick. Mr.. Stolze was well on the re-

trunks and travelling cases inspected
they went to hotel and stayed until
the next day and then started for
home arriving here as above stated
and feeling good to be back in
Wausau again. The Liederkranz, of
which Mr.. Stolze is member, seren-
AIDED them the same evening of their
return.
Mr. Stolze reported the crops in
Germany being very good excepting
fruit. like pears, peaches and grapes
were poor. Holland raised the best
fruits. Mr. Stole said, There are
abent sixty to seventy thousand
Americans still in Germany, and they
would almost pay any amount of
money for a passage back to America.
About forty American teachers want
ed to get back to this country at the
time We sailed, but were advised that
it would be impossible for them to
get passage until the 3rd of October. .

The strangest shark story which ever
came to the writer's ears was of a
shark that charged a steamer. This
was in Queen Charlotte's sound. and

a Vancouver paper. The captain OF
the steamer. which was a small craft
OF only fifty tons or so. saw the shark
on the surface on the port bow and
