Up and up and up the tree climbed
Mr.. Caterpillar, higher and higher and
higher. Till he passed the bumps
where the branches had been trimmed
off; till he. left the first branches far
behind and found in front of him the
biggest, strongest branch of the
whole tree. Then he stopped to get
his breath and decide on the next
move.
"A very fine tree" he said, nod
ding his head approvingly.
couldn't have found a better if had
hunted the world over. And now for
choosing the particular spot"
He wiggled his nose, squirmed
along the tree trunk bit; and then,
for no apparent reason, started out
on the second branch. This is the
best branch on the tree" he said de-
cidedIy, land right here is where I
spend the winter"
should he see coming towards the
tree but Tommy Sparrow. And of
course he spied Mr.. Caterpillar at
once
How do you do. this fine autumn
day." he asked politely. Il thought
you and your family were all dead"
"Dead?" asked the caterpillar in
amaZement. What a queer, queer
thing to think We are none of us
dead. Whatever made you think we
were ~
Because I never saw any of you
about the garden" replied Tommy
Sparrow. "And it has been my ex-
perience that when 1 fail to see gar
den creatures for several days. they
are generally dead-otherwise they
would be around
We'll. that rule doesn't apply to
us, as you see.'' laughed Mr. Cater
pillar.
'Then where have you been all
this time ?" asked Tommy, who as you
well know is of an argumentative turn
of mind and always wants a reason
if he is mistaken in anything. IF
the caterpillars are not dead, where
are they? Why are they not around

On the Spur
of the Moment
By ROY K. MOULTON-

Sleep.
I've heard a lot of twilight sleep
And its results, ahemi
But what most of us like the best
Is sleep at a. m.
Out our way twilight sleeps a myth,
Or sleep at any time.
The way the neighbors whoop it up
Is something of a crime.
We grab a snooze when e'er we can;
We may get forty winks,
When suddenly we're awakened by
The motorcycle ginks.
Yes, sleep may be a blessed thing,
We've often heard as much;
But, far as us folks are concerned,
There isn't any such.

INC, of course you don't" said the
caterpillar patiently, because they
cover themselves up for the winter
Nice butterflies we would make in the
spring il we didn't protect ourselves
through the long cold winter! Watch
me make my cocoon, and then you
will know how it is done"
So Tommy perched on the next
higher branch of the tree and watched
while the caterpillar began weaving
his winter home. OF course Tommy
couldn't wait till the cocoon was fin
ished, but he saw it well begun and
then he went sightseeing and found
dozens of fine cOcoOns on other trees
Those caterpillars do have sense" he
said to himself, and indeed they have

Reports from the battle of Aqua
Prieta indicate that the losses have
been trifling on both sides, which is
the rule in all military engagements
either of the major or minor variety.
The only way in which a large number
of Mexican soldiers are ever killed at
any one time is for the enemy to sue
coed in running a trainload of them
into river. Probably the Mexicans
can use up more ammunition in a bat
tie and do less execution than any
other soldiers on earth.

Undoubtedly, the defeat of prohib1-
ton in Ohio can be attributed to the
numerous large cities of which the
state is possessed. The population of
a big city is so cosmopolitan that it is
pretty difficult to convince a majority
of it of the desirability of prohibition.
Then the politicians and the saloons
in such cities are always working hand
in glove, and such a combination is
of enormous power

Probably the rather overwhelming
defeat of woman's suffrage in the
eastern states may also be explained
by the undoubted fact that the wo-

as united as they might be for the
cause, or as they must be before it can
triumph in that section.

Household Hints
The Table.

Meat Loaf From Leftovers-Put
enough cold cooked meat through
meat grinder to make two cupfuls
Mix with it one small onion and four
crackers ground, one beaten egg, one
level teaspoon celery salt, pinch of
cayenne pepper, salt and enough
buttered melon mold with cooked rice,
fill with mixture and cover with rice
Steam L u hours. Turn out on chop
platter and pour hot tomato sauce
around it.
Fruit Cake-One cup sugar cream
ed with three tablespoons melted but
ter, one cup buttermilk, two cups
flour, one cup raiSinS chopped tine,
spices. Bake slowly. This is greatly
improved by allowing to stand week
or two where it will not dry out.
All Around Cake-One-half cup
shortening, one cup sugar, one cup
sitting: two cups flour, one teaspoon
soda, one-haf teaspoon salt,
one-half teaspoon baking pow
der, yolk of one egg. This
formula can be used in various ways.
Divided in half with four tablespoons
cocoa or chocolate added, with vanilla
flavoring, it makes fine DEVILS food
cake. Or, mix nuts or raisins with
half and make in layers Or, mix
one generous cup of the batter with
cocoa and make marble cake by
dropping a spoonful of white, then
small portion of the dark.
L
mix in three tablespoons cornstarch.
If too stiff TO be poured into one pint
of boiling water, add a small amount
of water. Stir constantly while the
mixture is on the stove. 1t will soon
thicken. Add to it the juice OF one
lemon, also the grated ripd and a
scant cup of sugar. Let boil for very
short time. 1t makes a delicious fill
ing for a cake.
Uses for Cracked Fruit Jars and
Glasses.
Take small square pieces of clean
cheesecloth, tie teaspoonful of tea in
to each and keep in a closed fruit
jar. The string or thread used for
tying can be left long so as to lift the
tea ball out of the teapot when tea
is stepped enough. A package of
tea can be done up this way and is al
ways ready for use without having to
measure it each time tea is made.
Keeps tea leaves from sticking in the
pot and forming a crust inside.
Coffee can be made the same way,
using larger squares Of cheesecloth
and one level tablespoon ground cof-
fee to each cupful wanted.
Save cracked fruit jars for such
things as coffee, candied fruit, tapi-
oca, prunes, rice, cereals, raisins,
cocoanut, yeast cakes, lemons, etc.
Staple articles, if kept in glass jars,
will always be clean and fresh, as no
dust or insects can get into them.
Then, too, there's no need looking in
to all the packages in the pantry for
the article wanted, for one can see
what's in the jar without opening it..
Lemons and cheese kept in air
tight jars will be fresh until used.
Nutmegs, spices, grated orange peel
also keep their flavor and strength.
Cracked jelly glasses with covers can
be used for these

Our HYMNS in Japanese.

One of our eastern contemporaries
finds that in a Japanese translation of
the gospel hymn, Rock of Ages, Cleft
for Me-" the literal translation runs,
Very Old Rock, Split for My Bene-
fit"
A western contemporary says it is
really appalling to contemplate the
form in which some of the other
hymns must appear before being sub
jected to the process of translation
into an ungracious language. 1t is

come, Lay Out Very Strong Cord

SHORT COURSE A SUCCESS
Good Community Feeling
Prevails.
BIG BANQUET In THE EVENING

The two days of Better farming ses-
sions which closed yesterday were very
satisfactory. Much interest was evil
dent during the entire time and the re-
suits in dollars and cents will surely
be felt in the future. Much of the sue
cess is due to the cooperation of the
business interests with those of the
farm. Itis felt that business prosperi-
ty in general is linked with farm pros
pe1ity.
four speakers were on the program
during the two days besides the Ag
ricultural Representative. On We'd
nesday Mr.. Delwiche of the Ashland
substation, College of Agriculture
talked on Legum crops for Northern
Wisconsin. Agricultural Representa-
tive talked on the cow as a machine.
In the afternoon Mr.. Delwiche talked
on corn and corngrowing. He was
followed by Mr.. R. Baker who spoke
on the value of purebred sire.
Wednesday evening Mr.. Baker of
the Wisconsin Live Stock Breeders
Association gave an Illustrated talk on
improved types of livestock. The peo-
ple from the high school under the
direction of Prin. Junkman generously
assisted with selections of music
After this meeting the Wabeno Ad-
vancement Association put on a most
bounteous banquet at Pichotta's Cafe
prepared by John Pichotta. A most
encouraging feature was the extraordi-
nary good feeling which abounded.
MANY eloquent and timely toasts were
given by various members and guests
present on the future of Wabeno and
how to make it better. Bradley's or
chestra furnished excellent music dur
ing the evening.
On Thursday morning Mr.. J. E.
Volta of the College of Agriculture
talked on the subject of Root crops.
growing and handling John Swenehart
talked on "More cows and how to get
them" After dinner Mr.. Volta talk
ed on Crop Rotation. He was followed
by Prof Milward who spoke on the
standard varieties of potatoes and their
diseases and control. After this
number of farmers signified their de-
sire to organize to promote one variety
of potatoes. A temporary organiZa-
tion was then formed with S. ID. Switz-
err president and J. p. Schaenzer Jr.
secretary. A committee was appointed
to arrange details of organization to be
presented at meeting to be held soon.
A list of those desiring to get started
in pure seed was made up and orders
taken. Steps were also taken to give
other farmers chance to get in orders.
The rural New Yorker variety was the
choice of those present and seed stock
was to be purchased from North Gran
| don.
The outside speakers expressed them
selves as being very favorably i'm
pressed with the spirit of the people
of Wabeno and their entertainment
| It is favorable comment like this that
counts. Wabeno people and especially
the leaders of the Advancement as
sociation are to be congratulated on
their results and we hope that the
good work will go on.

Church Advertising

Why shouldn't churches ad

affairs? If they are worth st.

We are strongly of the opinion
that if all churches would con

paper, as they do in LOrdsburg
each week, and then announce
their subjects for sermons, with
a key to their import, and ap
plication to current events,
together with any other special
feature OF the day, there would
be- greater interest taken in
church affairs, with a consequent
increase in attendance and fin
