. INE BLUFF E ROGRESS : RosPERITY
GIVING TO PROSPERITY.

MT. George H. Hermann a. pioneer .ssident of Houston, has given 2S' acres of land to that city to be used as a park. The land is said to be worth $500 an acre, which makes the value of the gift s427,50O. Tn point of # value. this philanthropy ranks well with any record in this state. Indeed, 1t is probably rivaled in this respect only by that of Colo l ffes,l Breckenridge, who gave tnagni- ficent park to San Antonia, and by that of the Cameron estate, which bestowed similar benefaction on the people of Waco. Doubtless there are other cities in Texas that have been the recipients of gifts of this kind, but none that has received gift riyaling these both in kind and value. Houston's new park will be named after it's donor. just as those in San Antonio and Waco have been named after their donors. and so MT. Her man has memorialized himself to the future more endurably and more richly than a shaft of marble or q monument of bronze would have done 1t. Incidentally, we imagine these gentlemen regard the satisfaction they have derived as an ample com pensation for their generosity.-Gal- weston News.
 The impulse to give is one of the noblest and at the same time one or the commonest of impulses. The say ing that it is more blessed to give than to receive is not merely rell- gious taching. It is a trite state ment of fact. The man who gives for the relief of immediate wants gets a keener satisfaction out of the giv- ing than the man who endows g library or college or gives park or a playground to his fellow citizens but the man who makes the more en' during charity gets more out of it 1T the long run, for he perpetuates hls name and his generosity longer.
 There is never lacking field fol the philanthropy of the Herman type which is worthy of the highest praise There. are never too many public parks and public playgrounds. There are never too many public libraries hospitals and endowed schools. The citizen who gives his name to grea library in his home town where ther' is no library. or gives his name to public park. or to school or hospita endowed with his moaey. builds him self monument that will keep his name alive longer than any creation of any sculptor, architect or painte who ever lives could. And 1t is worthy human ambition to desire tt perpetuate one's name. It is the am bition that is akin to the longing fo. immortality. the best evidence, accord ing to Ulata. that there is an i'm morality of the soul.

THE LOW PRICED AUTOMOBILE.

This summer any man who can af- ford to keep horse and carriage can afford to have an automobile. Rea- sonably comfortable machines capable of good honest work can be had for but little more than good team costs. And gasoline and tires need not cost as much as hay and oats.
 But the purchase Of an automobile is an extravaganza for a great many men. because they demand relative ly higher degree of comfort in the machine than they formerly expected with, the horse.
 A few years ago man might have been satisfied with lazy old beast approaching sulerannuation. His buggy would be second hand, rickety in the j'ints, with a rattle that could be heard 300 yards away. Yet to- day the same man is discontended with an automobile costing less than a thousand dollars.
 This is one of the many signs or the decline of the pioneer spirit. Discomfort is dreaded more and more The slight jolting one gets from low priced machine. it's inability to climb hills at a, high rate of speed' are too annoying for these pamper- ed times. Il.

Harry Tabor of Prairie du Sac de-
cl lied TO start the New Year right.
This was made evident when he ap-
peared before Justice of the Peace
AdoIpn andre on Wednesday and
pleaded guilty to charge OF assault
and battery. Young Tabor was feel
ing little gay at one of the dances at
Efinger park last summer and for
some reason he struck Miss MARSHA
Hathaway in the face. Immediately
after committing the assault he de-
parted and the officers were unable to
loeate nlm. Undoubtedly the couing
of Christmas and the New Year
played its part on Tabor's conscience.
He was fined S. and costs amounting
to $14 "a. Miss Hathaway, the COM
planning witness, mas been employed
at the New Warren in Baraboo for

FIRE ON WEDNESDAY
Barn and Large Straw Stack
Belonging to Arthur
Hill, Burn.

An improvised fire department, con-
sisting of over 100 neighbors turned out
Wednesday evening to quench a large
confiagration which threatened to de-
stroy every building on the farm
owned by Arthur Hill about one and
one-halt miles north of Merrimack.
The fire started, no one knows how,
and was first noticed by farm en-
ploye who was coming out of the barn
and observed some sparks falling from
above and gave the alarm at once. The
barn was an old one, which had at
different times been enlarged by a
"lean to" on each side. A long straw
stack jsined the barn and this az well
as the latter was completely demol-
ished. The barn contained a large
amount of grain and hay as we'll as
four horses and other live stock, all of
which was saved. It was feared that
q large new barn and house adj Acent
to the old buildings would be burned
but the energy of the fire department
prevented this.

Creamery at LaValle Has
Most Perfect Coopera-
tive System.
ALL TAKE AN INTEREST
Homogeneous Population
Work Together For
Common Good.

Again have the praises of Sauk
county been carried to other climes.
This time the cooperative creamery
system in La Vale is held up as a
model. The Courier-J Journal of Louis
vile, Kentucky, has published an in
teresting account from the report of T.
j. Coates, state inspector of rural
schools, who made six weeks trip
through Wisconsin and Minnesota
studying conditions. The item was
sent to Superintendent A. G. Kings
ford and among other things contains
the following:
The most perfect cooperative system
is the creamery as La Vale, Wis. in
which the organization gives one vote
to each stockhoIder, regardless of the
mum ber of shares he holds, the stock
dividend is limited TO 6per cent and
the net profits are distributed monthly
in proportion to the pounds of butter
fas delivered to the creamery by the
members In connection there is
COW testing and stock raisers' associa-
ton and Prof. Coates said he observed
that wherever a cooperative enterprise
of this kind is established there is a
tendency toward standardization of
stock in the Community, improving
the grade and the market. Fifteen
years ago, he said, Buck wheat Valley,
in which La Vale is located, had
raised wheat until the productivity
had fallen from fifty to eleven Bushels
the acre. Then they went into CO.
operative dairying and all are prosper
ing, He said the small community
cooperative plan is most successful.
They have standardized and improv-
ed the quality and reduced the varie-
ties OF whatever product their coopera-
tive enterprises have taken up, said
Prof. Coates They raise like qualities
in community and sell together and
take all the profits. The schools take
an HCUAV6 DhIU bAC AAACS
the university extension department
helps organize farmers clubs and the
people work out their own problems.
Gradually the whole rural population
is taking up the new order and pros
pering wherever 1t is undertaken. In
a sixteen mile drive on which passed
five creameries, counted 512 wagons
hauling milk. The division Of the
profits of these creameries on basis of
patronage instead of shares of stock,
has a tendency to improve the live
stock, because the more butter fat a
farmer produces from his cows. the
more he gets from the creamery.
Finn, Russian, Dane, Swede. Nor
wsgian, Irish and American have gone
together into these cooperative asso-
Citations. A less homogeneous pepula-
tion could scarcely be conceived.

TWO ARRESTS ARE MADE

at Lodi.
TWO ARRESTS ARE MADE

Christmas festivities on the Colum
ola county side of the big Prairie du
Sac dam In the town of West Point
where the lsborers employed on the
dam have their shacks, were rudely
interrupted when Sheriff Mackenzie,
reinforced by District Attorney BOgue,
Justice of the Peace Kiefer and Under
Sheriff Laughlin of Portage and Dep
uty Sheriff Chase and his son of Lodi
swooped down upon the blind piggers
that were dispensing joy water to the
foreign population there. Eighty
cases of beer and many, many gallons
of fish bait were confiscated and two
arrests were made.
No opposition was encountered at
the viiIsge of bunk houses although
the laborers that are employed there
are mostly foreigners from the south
of Europe, quick of temper and many
of them armed with knife Or revolver,
reader for scrap. Ever since the
camp was established shooting and
cutting rows were Of not infrequent
occurrence and the complaints of dis
order and Sale of liquor without hcense
impeIled the officers 20 interfere.
The two accused of conducting the
blind pig were taken to Portage where
their names appear on the urt
records as Mike Milsch and Matt
Niebkovic. A plea of guilty was en-
tered and $1,000 was she ar'2uet
necessary in each case to settle the
fins and defray the expense of the
auto journey made by the party.
Justice Kiefer ordered the beer de-
stroyed at Lodi. That town has been
s'dry" in more senses than one and
the contents of those eighty cases will
be used to help lay the dust in the
street.
When the officers arrived at the
camp, according to the Portage Demo
crat, over half dozen campfires real
pigs were being roasted whole for the
Christmas feast. Each carcass, drawn
but not halved, was spitted on long
pole and a COOK was stationed at each,
turning the roast in regular barbecue
fashion. Big dripping pans were set
underneath to catch the sizzling
grease.
