Mother Shipton's Last Prophecy.

Mother Shipton was born at Knav-
eSborough, says tradition. and was
generally regarded as a witch, the
popular belief being that she sold her
soul to the evil one in return for the
power Of lifting the veil shrouding
the future. Although universally be-
lieved TO be dealer in black art, she
died quietly in her bed, and in the
church yard near by headstone bore
this inscriptions:
Here lies she who never lied,
Whose skill often has been tried; y
Her prophecies shall still survive,
And ever KEEP her name alive"
IT is said that each morning of her
life was signalized by the utterance
Of some remarkable prediction of
veal or woe to her neighbors or her
country. To Henry VIII she foretold
his suppression OF the monasteries,
his marriage with Anne Boleyn, VOL
sey's downfall and death, and the
fagot fires Of Smithfield. To Eliza
beth she also made equally true pre-
dictiOnS, and also to King James. 1t
is recorded that in her last public ut
terance Mother Shipton gave forth
the following prediction, which has
been thought to have reference to the
present century:
The time shall come when seas of
blood
Shall mingle with a greater food;
Great noise shall there be heard,
great shouts and cries,
Ard seas shall thunder louder than
the skies.
Then shall three lions fight with
three, and bring
Joy to people, honor to king.
That fiery year, as soon as DER,
Peace shall then be as before;
Plenty shall everywhere be found,
And men with swords shall till the
ground.

State Superintendent j. S.
Lean Of the Wisconsin Anti
Saloon League opened the cam
paign for no license in this city
with an address at Temperance
headquarters on Thursday even
ing Of last week. Owing to the
cold weather only a small crowd
was present at the meeting but
the remarks proved interesting
to those in attendance.
The anti-saloon people of this
city expect to wage a vigorous
campaign from now until the
spring election in the hope of
putting Washburn in the dry
colamn. During the next two
months number of prominent
speakers will be here to deliver
addresses upon the question.
During the month of March the
Civic League, the w. G. T. U.
and the churches of the city will
devote the entire month to the
campaign.
Even at so early date there
is a good deal of interest in the
coming election and the liquor
question is the main topic of
discussion. During the past
two campaigns the vote has been
getting closer and the antis hope
to wipe out the vets majority. in
the election in April.

Made a Big Record

Washburn and vicinity has
more than one person who knows
how to raise chickens and keer
them laying during the winter
months when eggs are high
priced. Last week we run a
short article telling of the sue
cess that d. M. Maxcy was
having with his chickens and
now A. J. Fraser, who owns a
nice farm west of the city, comes
in with a record of his laying
strain of hens which is even
more promising than the record
made by Mr.. Maxcy's hens.
Mr.. Fraser has pen of 33
Rhode Island Reds and II half
breeds. The first setting was
hatched on May 10Th, 1913, and
the last setting was hate he'd on
June 18th, 1913. These chickens
were given fine care and by care
full feeding began to lay on
November 10th.
During the month of Novem.
ber the "A hens laid 5 dozen
eggs, during the month of Dec
ember they laid 43 dozen and 81
eggs. and during the month If
January the record month was
reached when 60 dozen eggAI
were laid. The total for the|
two months and a half was 108I
dozen and 8 eggs. The average
price for which these eggs we're
sold was 35 cents per dozen and
the total price received for the
eggs was $38.O3 or an average of
96 cents for each bird.
Mr.. Fraser's feeding plan
differs somewhat from Mr..
Maxcy's. A mixture of three
parts oats and one part wheat
with just enough corn to keep
the hens warm is what Mr..
Fraser feeds, with ground meat
enough to make mixed ration.
Dry bran and bran mash is also
led.
Mr.. Fraser's advice is "keep
the corn away from the hens if
you want to produce eggs" His
plan seems to be pretty success
full.

Meeting of Council
Some Talk of Abolishing a
Number of Offices to cut
Expenses.

Ihe question of changing the
salaries of the officers of the CITY of
Washburn will come up at the meet
ing to be held next month. The
question came up before the council
at their Tuesday night meeting and
the meeting was adjourned for one
month in order to give the aldermen
an opportunity to study up on the
question and to determine if any of
the offices can be discontinued.
There is some talk of disseminating
the office of city attorney. Some of
the members of the council favor this
plan, believing that a saving can be
effected. The present salary of the
pity attorney is $250.OO per year,
Iut an additional sum is paid when
yer case is taken into court. The
sFvice that the city attorney renders
