Dane County Does Big Things.

Dane county alone, the second larg-
est county in the state, leads all coun-
ties in Wisconsin in the annual value
of farm crops, with total of $1,000,
900. Dane county produces more OF
some of the staple crops than are pro-
duced by other entire states. The
intensity of farm development in Dane
county is illustrated by the fact
that the average number of acres per
farm is 122, and the average improved
acres per farm SO. Over IS per cent of
Dane county's area is in farms and II
per cent is improved lands. In 1903
Dane county produced more corn than
California or Washington. The value
Of an acre of tobacco in Virginia is sos,
in Dane county close to 5000 this year.
More of this crop was harvested in
Dane county in 1909 than in Alabama
and New York combined Live stock
values increased from five millions in
1900 to eight millions in 1910, and dur
ing the same period the value of farm
buildings increased from eight millions
to fourteen millions. All of this de-
velopment was accomplished by an adj
vance in land values from 80 millions
to 81 millions.

Farmer Thrown From His Buggy and
Killed.

Paul Krebs, a young farmer who re-
sides on the ASH Lone place near Ava
Ion in the town of Bradford, was
thrown from his buggy and killed at
about 7:30 o'clock Friday night when
the horse he was driving climbed an
embankment near the Otto Drager
farm, two and half miles south of
Avalon. His neck was broken and
death must have been instant. He was
found within half hour after the &C
cident by physician who happened to
be passing that way. The horse had
made no effort to run away and was
standing on the high bank.
Krebs went to Clinton Friday after
noon, taking his wife, bride of sew
eral months, to the home of her par
ents, Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Hemp, three
miles west of Avalon, before making
the trip. He was returning home
when the accident happened which
caused his death.
Besides his wife, Krebs is survived
by his parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Herman
Krebs, and one brother, Otto, all Of
whom reside in the town of Bradford.

More School Room Needed, Says Holt.

More School Room Needed, Says Holt.
At the last annual meeting held in
July, 1913, a motion was carried that
the school district appropriate ten thou
sand dollars to be used for the purpose
of constructing twenty thousand dol
lar addition to the high school building,
the appropriation being conditional
upon the receipt of ten thousand from
private subscription. The ten thousand
dollars to be appropriated by the dis
trict was to be borrowed from the state
and paid off in ten annual installments.
It is a well known fact that the high
school building is much too small for
the present needs. The seating capac-
ity has been insufficient for two years,
it was necessary to transfer the man.
ual training department to the base
ment of the school building, the do
nestle science department has insult
ficient quarters. About the imperative
need for an addition no question can be
raised.
When the board of education became
definitely certain that the ten thousand
dollars from a private source was to
be had, approaching the splendid op-
portunity, it took action to secure the
ten thousand dollars from the state in
accordance with the resolution passed
at the annual meeting. A committee
of citizens has been appointed to act
with the board in making plans for the
addition which will be placed in readi-
ness by the opening Of school in the
fall.
1t is the desire of the board to build
we'll for the future by SO arranging the
educational system of Edgerton that it
shall assume position Of leadership
among school systems of the state and
nation. To lay we'll the foundations,
the board means to so plan the cree
ton of the addition that, insofar as it
NAV, it shall establish a constructive
policy looking toward the highest well
fare of the youth of the local commun-
ity.
In pursuance of this ideal, the advis-
ability of establishing six year high
school course, the course to begin with
what is now the seventh grade, is be-
ing considered. This movement is be-
ing generally favored in the best edu-
cational systems of the country. 1t is
in vogue in the high school of the Uni
versity of Wisconsin. To the princi-
palship of that school has been elected
one of the foremost among high school
educators of the West-Dr. H. E. Mil
Ter of Kansas City. Mr.. Miller has
been secured by the Board of Educa-
ton to talk to the citizens of Edgerton
on the six year plan. He will talk at
the high school building on Thursday,
Feb. s. Every citizen should feel it
his duty to be in attendance at that
meeting anG to investigate thoroly
matter which so vitality concerns TIE
welfare of the community.

very little difference between the

carry too high heads and persist in
demonstrations of affected superior
ity are apt to court their own undo

told to the House by Represen-

on his resolution calling for Con-
gressional investigation into the
financial and physical condition of The
road.
Early in 1902" he said. there were
formed two holding companies-the
Chicago. Rock Island and Pacific Rail
road Company, to hold the stock Ct
the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific
Railway Company, and the Rock Is
land Company, to hold the stock of
the fl holding company.

THE promoters Immediately raised
the stock from $50 100000 to $75, 900
600 They then issued per cent
bonds to the amount of $t1,OOO.OOO OF
the railroad company and $11,0OO,00O
common stock and $50000,000 pre-
ferred stock of the reorganization
company. The bonds of the railroad
company were secured by an equal
amount of stock of the original COM
pany pledged as collateral This $12l.-
900, 600 of water was poured not eN-
actly into. but upon the railway com
pany's stock and bonds. AS an irri-
cation feat, this ought to recommend
those who planned it to the Reclamd-
ton Service or the Committee on Arid
Lands"
Green went on to show that the
promoters then bought about 5000
miles of other roads, most of it of
questionable character, and which
since has been a burden on the orig
inal property
Information as to the cost of the
property acquired" he continued,

which is estimated to have Melted a
loss of $17,000.000, their cost is not
known. and only an investigation can

coats and draped and ruffled and

BUILDING BOOM

Metropolitan Building Co. Starts Ten Story Structure at Fourth and

SEATTLE, June 1.-The Metro politan Building Co. will erect ten story office building at the corner of Fourth and University streets at cost of $45O,000. The excavations for the foundation has already started and the work will be pushed as fast as it is possible to do so.
 A building boom has struck this city since the passage of the bill for the construction of railroad in Alaska and many new structures are contemplated. Many businessmen fear the boom will do. more harm than good, as the erection of large ten-story buildings before there is a necessity for the rooms and offices will only result in cheapening rents.

FL PASO, Tex, June 17.-Geheral Villa, the cebel commander. today resigned his commission in the con- stitutionalist army and has opened tip headquarters 6f his owh. Follow ing the resignation, which was sent to General CarranzA, Vifla had his troops seize all the railroads, all the telegraph lines, the national rebel treasury and the custom house at Juarez.
 The break between Villa and Car ranza. is serious and threatens to break up the rebel forces in north ern Mexico and prevent the estab- lishment of a stable government. The advance to Mexico City has been abandoned.
 The break is due to the appoint ment of Gen. Natera as commander of the rebel troops in the military zone about Zacatecas, where Villa wished to operate himself as the country has not been plundered and many rich Mexican families and for eign concessions have vast interests in that region. General Villa refused
