The ice harvest in the county this
season was great success in more
ways than one. No only was a crop
of the finest quality stored in the
houses in record time, but there was
less trouble with the army Of work
men which annually invades the county
to work in the fields than in any year
since the business was first started in
this county. There were but two ar
rests made among the men engaged in
the harvest and those for a minor Of
Tense; there was but one case of a
serious contagious disease developed
among the men and the victim was TAX
en- care of without alarming the Ia
borers in the fields or causing any I'M
easiness among the people of the
county. The peace and quietness
which marked the harvest this year
were in pleasing contract to the condi-
tions in other years when riot calls and
constant rumors of the outbreak of an
epidemic among the men kept the Of
icials Of the county on the anxious
seat all of the time the men were in
the county. The county officials real
ize that sanitary conditions in the
boarding houses during the harvest and
the general supervision of the men
brought into the county are improving
every year, but the possibilities of
serious trouble breaking out are so
great that the county officials are al
ways relieved to see the army depart.
1t was lucky year both for the ice
companies and the county.

GO BACK TO FARMS.
Student Taking Recent Trial Course
Put knowledge to Practical Use.


1t is estimated that between eighty
and ninety per cent of the one humid
red and fifty young men graduating
this week from the short course in
agriculture at the University of Wis
cousin will return to the farms of this
state to actually engage in farming.
The successes of former students as
dairymen, stock raisers, poultrymen,
orchardists, grain growers, and market
gardeners are yearly attracting an in
creased number to this practical farm
ers' course. 1t has grown from nine
teen students in room on the third
floor of an old building in 1885 to in
clude four hundred and fifty young
men from sixty-fve counties of the
state, from eleven other states and two
foreign countries in 1918.
Besides obtaining practical training
in general agriculture, the young men
graduating this week have acquired
considerable information upon special
lines of farming which they expect to
pursue.
In addition to the knowledge ac-
quired they have developed love for
the farm and farm life. Almost with
out exception they have expressed a
desire and determination to earn, buy,
or hew out farm in this or some other
state where conditions are similar.
That +hic dn+arp,in q ton iS not tho
mere expression of boyish wish is
evidenced by the fact that upon every
agricultural board or organization in
this state and in every important agri-
cultural movement carried on in Wis
consin, the short course is well repre-
sented by graduates, now prominent,
respected and prosperous in their chos-
en- lines of farming.
OF the two thousand graduates from
this course since its inception in 1885,
the following are from this county:
Graduates, 1914: G. II. Rhodes, Kansas
vile; Frank L. Rhodes, Kansasville.
Former Graduates: j. F. Bradley,
Somers; j. w. Brook, Salem; r. G.

English Children Different.

The English child under ten is not
intimate with his parents. He never has
his meals with them. 1t is his nurse and
not his mother who puts him to bed at
night and bathes him in the morning. The
scarcity of good servants in this country
may account for the constant care that
the American mother gives her baby, but
the fact remains that she gives up her
tune TO it as the English mother does
not dream of doing. The American
mother gives up two years of her life to
each child where the English or CONT
Mental mother gives but one. and the
smaller American families are a natural
consequence.
The American father takes personal
interest and responsibility in the bring
ing up of his family that the Englishman
never does. The walking -the-foor-with-
the-baby joke is never heard in England
simply because no Englishman would
dream of doing such a thing. He loves
his child, but he knows far less OF the
intimate details of its life than the
american father knows. The. American
child, as far as an outsider can judge, is
not spoiled by this intimacy.
He is quick and observing. but he Is
apt also to be well hammered and well
bred. He is 100 per cent better behaved
than | expected to ind him. And the
fact that his father, instead of 4 COVER
aess, helps him with his lessons seems
to entail no loss of respect. but rather a
conviction that daddy knows everything

customed to do. and has consequently had
an opportunity to become intimately &C.

lean child whom one meets in foreign
hotels had added to the idea that he Is
neglected. On the contrary, I find, after
visiting American homes. that he enjoys
more of his parents society and occupies
than any other child In the world. l do
not believe that any other weli-to-do
woman in the world gives the same per-
sonal. physical care to her little children
than the american mother gives And
doubt whether any other father gives as
much time to reading and playing with
his children
