 Make OlyR Costumes.
 The men make all their own cos tunes and paint their own scenery, much of which would do credit to a first-class theater.
 Small truck gardens are beginning to produce good results under the careful attention of the interned men, and the fresh vegetables raised make a welcome addition to the ample meat, bread and jam or molasses, pota- toes and canned foods officially served.

TRIP
TO GIBRALTER

On Saturday an even dozen visited
Gibralter, about a mile west of Okee
The bluff gives a commanding view of
the region to the south, west and north
the panorama being an ey tensive one.
The geological formation is the same as
the fiat iron bluff near the Lower Mar
rows of the Baraboo river, St. Peters
sandstone being the chief formation.
This is of more recent period than the
quartzite and Potsdam formations.
Those in the party who were fond of
wild flowers found many to attract them
along the country road and along the
wooded way up the bluff, on the balmy
September day. The sea sons abund-
ant rainfall has brought the fall flow
ers to blooming time in full vigor and
strength. There has been no drawing
or retarding by drouth and at the pres
ent time there is not a particle of dust
to mar the beauty of plant or blossom.
Almost anywhere along the country
roads there is at present wanton dis
play of color. At no time of the year
is nature so lavish with her dyes az dur
ing the last days of September, in this
latitude
Just now the fall sunflower and 9TH
er composites ranging in shade from
light lemon yellow to deep orange
are at their best. Close to them
are the goldenrods more luxurious
in their bloom than ever befores
Mingled with these are the asters the
deep purple and light blue blossoms
making a royal combination with the
sunhowers and the golden rod.
Among the more lowly blossoms to
be found by searching in the wet spots
and nearly all road sides are wet
spots this year-are the self-heal and
the low growing composites of the
brown-eyed Susan class, an occasional
fringed gentian and more of the closed
gentians.
Along the way up the bluff an album
dance of Indian pipes, that ghost like
flower without chlorophyl, were discov-
cred. They are very abundant this
year in the deep woods and are always
attracted to the botanist. The choral
and other fungi seem Ito be holding a
big convention on the magnificent
slope.
Those residing in the neigborhood re-
port that deer have recontly taken up
their home on the height. None was
seen.
Those who took the tramp from Okee
up the highway and slope and back to
the station were Dr. and Mrs. Fitz r.
