Members by MRS. A. r.
Taylor Of Portage

At the meeting Of the KIover Klub

evening, Mrs. A. R. Taylor of Por~
tage addressed the members on the
pleasures and advantages of such an
organization. She said they had many
clubs in Portage but one that was

Gently daughter Of President Wilson
and others Of note visited her city and
made fine addresses but they departed
on the early train the following day
and left naught but pleasant memory
behind. Active work such as many Of
the clubs in Sank County are doing is
what brings results to the members of
the community. Mrs. Taylor gave a
beautiful story in which she brought
out the factsthat what we do may not
seem to US as accomplishing the de-
sired result but the good is in that it
enables others to build and extend the
range of truth. The speaker was &C
companied by a number of young men
who gave several timely yells on be-
half of the Klover Klub and vigorous
applause followed.
RolIo Cobleigh told how to improve
sandy soils by the rotation of crops
and the blowing under of vegetation
in order to increase the amount of
humus in the ground. Frequent cult
walton was urged, especially during
dry weather.
In telling of current events, E. r.
Thomas spoke of the work of the
county board, the latest moves in the
war in Europe and the recent advance
in prohibition as the result of the
elections here and the imperial edict
in Russia stopping the sale of liquor
throughout the empire.
H. S. Porter told two stories which
brought loud applause, Earl Thomas
provoked much laughter when he read
the Klover Klub News, H. E. Cole
spoke of some of his experiences in
Europe and exhibited few objects
obtained and music was given by
Edith Green and the members.
Mrs. Taylor was accompanied by

This is an external application to
enable the abdominal muscles to become

undue pain from the strain upon cords
and ligaments.
In almost every settled community are
women who have enjoyed the blessing of
this famous remedial and helpful er1bro-
cation. Their daughters have grown up
to learn Of it's splendid assistance.
Applied as directed upon those muscles
involved it soothes the fine network of
nerves with which al the muscles are
supplied. Thus a great share of the pains
so much dreaded may be avoided and the
period of expectancy passed through in
ease and comfort.
Anything that adds so much comfort
must be counted as a blessing indeed

No unfCiES

Mrs. Mile Doty, 1872 Eighth street,
has received a letter from her niece,
Miss Annie Hardwell, San Bernardino,
California, which tells of the death of
Mrs. Doty's brother, L. c. Wardwel.
He died on Friday, the 18th of Novem-
Der, after being i'll for about week
with paralysis. The letter says that
he had at least 100 commissions and that
he suffered great deal. The news comes
as a shock to his relatives here as they
did not know that he was Ill.
Mr.. Wardwell was born at Spring
field, Massachusetts, about rs years
ago and came to Wisconsin when a
youth. He left Baraboo about sixty
years ago to seek his fortune in the
great southwest, becoming a sCasl
driver on the famous Santa Fe trail.
When Mrs. Doty visited him some
years ago he recounted many adven-
lures while engaged in this exciting
employment. On many occasions his
stage was held up by bandits or at
tackled by the Indians. His wife''
first husband was killed by the Indians
in the Rocky mountains.
Mr.. Wardwell leaves two sisters and
brother. Mrs. Mile Doty, Baraboo;
Mrs. Hattie Billiard, Baraboo

Christmas Tree Support Keeps
Needles Fresh

A christmas tree holder which keeps
the tree green and prevents the leaves
from falling, has been devised. 1t con-
sists of a japanned pan which has con-
icle receptacle fitted in the middle of it
into which the tree is set. Three metal
braces, which may be folded down when
not in use, extend from the rim of the
pan and are screwed to the trunk of
the tree. When the tree is in place,
water is poured into the container, pre-
venting the tree from drying out and to
a degree making it less lnfammable. =
