hands on her breast she shook the grey
bennett on her head and murmured,
Il knew your mother 80 well. "
The band furnished music here and
Rev. E. C. Henke delivered short ad-
dress to a goodly number of farmers.
Rev. Henke said the farmers and bust
ness men Of Baraboo should take for
their motto the words: Live and let

Mayor Speaks, at Merrimack.
The cars then headed southwark and
passed the OWLS head and arrived in
Merrimack shortly before noon. A
large crowd of people gathered in the
village. The machines lined up in the
main street and after the band played a
few pieces, Mayor G. T. Thuerer gave
a speech. He said the Baraboo bust
ness men did not come to Merrimack
to take away the trade of that place,
but to get ideas and to promote the
welfare of both Baraboo and Merri-
mack. He said the prospects were
good. for Merrimack being a pleasant
resort soon on account of the lake
caused by the Prairie du Sac dam. "At
this time especially the people of all
United States should feel contended
and happy to think that We were not
engaged in a great war as in Europe, !"
said the mayor.
Dinner at Prairie du Sac.
The Booster party arrived at Marian
park in Prairie du Sac at 1890 o'clock
where a sumptuous dinner prepared by
the ladies of Prairie du Sac was await
ing them. Here the real American
spirit prevailed. Cobbler and milk
dealer sat down to dine beside the
banker and professional man. The
lion and the lamb of daily competition
in the business world brushed elbows
and uttered words of good cheer to each
other. There was no rehashing Of
business troubles and all were light
hearted. The band gave short con-
cert. Attorney E. A. Evans and
County Superintendent &. W. Davies
spoke following the dinner. Mr..
Evans stated that the purpose of the
Booster trip was not to take the
trade away from Prairie du Sac mer-
chants but he said the Baraboo bust
ness men solicited the second choice of
the Prairie du Sac people. THAT is, ,"
said the speaker, "By all means boost
Prairie du Sac first, but we ask you to
consider and boost Barabo0 second. J"
He called the attention of the Baraboo
people to the many well cared for
lawns and beautiful gardens in and
near the villages of Sank City and
Prairie du Sac.
Mr.. Davies said the great fault
between the city and country folks
was the misunderstanding that existed
between the man behind the pillow and
the man behind the counter. "When
this is cleared up, said Mr.. Davies,
there will not be such great waste
in efficiency"
Trip Over Prairie.
After short stop in Sank City the
tour across Sank Prairie to the Metho-
dist church in Sumpter was made.
Here music was furnished to gather
ing of country folks and the journey
westward through Stones pocket to
Denzer was taken up. 1t was a de-
lightful trip across the country The
crops on the prairie are looking fine
and daisies and golden rod nodded a
greeting to the passing cars from the
roadside.
At Denzer it began to sprinkle little
and auto drivers put up the tops on
their machines. A light rain fell, just
enough to settle the dust. After a
brief concert at Denzer the party roll
ed along over the Baraboo ridge to La
Rue where the band played again.
Supper at North Freedom.
From LaRue a very pleasant ride
was taken through the rich farm land
of Freedom and Excelsior to Ableman.
A concert was given at Ableman and a
call was sent out that supper was
awaiting in North Freedom. Another
bounteous meal was served in the town
hall by the Methodist church women
of the village of North Freedom which
went far toward making the trip sue
cess as far as the inner man was con-
cerned.
Following the supper r. B. Dickie,
Republican nominee for the assembly,
gave an address of welcome to the Bar
aboo people. Mayor Thuerer then said
