Prof. Milward his job OF picking the
prize winning stock. Vegetables ga
lore consisting of onions, beets, car
rots, rutabagas, squash, pumpkins,
cabbage, kale, kohl rabi and many
other articles again prove that Villas
Co. has no peer as a producer of ev-
erything in the line of root crops.
Several good exhibits OF dent and
flint corn are on exhibition well rip
ened too. A nicely cured sample of
tobacco showed that that great mon
ey crop is also adapted to this eli
mate. In fact when you get right
down to hard facts, Villas County can
and does produce every variety of
farm crop grown in Wisconsin,.
We wish to congratulate the busi-

waters since the middle OF July aud

They were at Tampico az the time
OF the rebel assault upon that seaport,

The Michigan was the vessel that
received on board the fleeing Felix

the party TO the Ward liner Esperanza.
The episode has been told with cable

fuller detail by the officers OF the bal

On the outskirts Of Vera Cruz was

would be an occasional ball game
This, with bout sailing and games

But all OF these long ago palled

other divisions of the battleship feet
had had on the recent jaunt to the
Mediterranean, and of the long fur

lucky ones on their return TO their
home, furloughs that lasted over tho
holidays.
Having been deprived OF all OF these
good times, the men or the Michigan
we're thinking OF their own well-earned
period OF relaxation. They did not
anticipate any hurry-up orders TO join
the feet which is now at Culebra for
drill purposes. Tneir vessel had twice
undergone inspection by division com.
manders and the reports had been so
flattering that Admiral Fletcher had
directed the commanding officer to fur
nish the names of the officers who had
been responsible for bringing the YES
sci TO such a nigh state OF efficiency.
He told the navy department chief
that he was unable to select any who
had been more responsible than anoth-

10 the department that every officer
OF the vessel be- specially commended
