1915 A BAD YEAR.

Indications point to trouble i'm
the corn belt this year. 1915 is
an abnormal year. EXCESSIVE
moisture and cool weather has
retarded the growth of corn, es-
peciaIIy in the northern states.
Corn will be late in maturing
and there will be a tendency to
gather seed corn late. Watch
this. Don't wait too long. Don't
wait till frost beats you to it.
Frost bitten corn will not grow.
Gather your seed corn before
frost comes. Store it where it
will dry out and not freeze or
mold. Don't forget that next
years corn crop will depend on
the seed you gather this fall.

While M. P. Steinhauser was fishing
in Lake Koshkonong Sunday he made a
peculiar catch. He had caught perch
and put it on stringer, throwing it
over the side of the boat. Shortly af-
terward catching another perch, and as
he pulled up the stringer to put on the
other catch found that his perch was
pretty lively, made a quick jerk and
found nice five pound pickeral hang
ing to his pike. This fish story is vouch-
ed for by several who saw the unusual
sight.
But for mere chance two Fl. At
kinson boys would have drowned half
mile or more northwest of Black Hawk
Island in Lake Koshkonong, Sunday at
six o'clock p. m. The boys, aged ID
and Is, were fishing in small skiff
when a stiff north wind came up, rails
ing white caps and causing every fish
ing boat but their own to put for cover.
Finally they tried to raise their anchor
and the skiff sank beneath roller.
The wind was ccld and the water chill
ly. They did not dare to cut the an
Choir rope as the sea would take them
across the lake. Waves thirty inches
high passed over their heads one by
one until they were thoroughly chilled
and half strangled. Finally the boys
sighted the General Atkinson and
yelled. The boys were Percy Guam,
son of Ole Guam, and Halbert Hoard,
son of Mr.. and Mrs. H. L. Hoard.

There Is more Catarrb in this sectio

There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together. and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable. For
a great many yesrs doctors pronounced
it local disease, and prescribed local
remedies; and by continually failing to
cure with local treatment, pronounced it
incurable. Science has proven catarrh
to be constitutional disease, and, there
fore requires constitutional treatment.

Jobs For The Faithful

With a reduced Democratic mem
bership in the House of Delegates and
the Senate, there are more places to
be filled by those Democrats who were
elected than there were last year so
that the faithful reed not despair. And
already there are plenty of applicants
for the places to be filled, from door
keepers and cloakroom-k keepers up to
the secretaryships.
The best places pay $40 day. but
the common everyday run of en-
ployees get So and mileage. AS this
So day includes Sundays and many
other days on which there are no ses-
sions of either House, the places are
looked upon as, and most of them are,
snaps. And they are snaps that the
Goodnow committee cannot reach.
Years ago there were no women en-
rloyed by the Legislature, but now
the number increases from session 70
