NO ONE TO DRIVE THE MULE.
Joliet Prison officers Sadly Bereaved
by Sentence Of Holler in Kenosha.

Joliet Prison officers Sadly Bereaved
by Sentence Of Holler in Kenosha.
AS a. result of the administration of
justice in Kenosha county Joliet prison
has lost one Of its most useful in
mates A little while ago John Holler,
decrepid old burglar, was sentenced
to the Wisconsin state prison. He
had formerly been at the Illinois prison
at Joliet. Col. Clarkson, head proba-
tion officer of the prison, was in Keno
sha today and he discussed the case of
Holler with Judge Randall.
"You hit us blow below the belt
when you sentenced John Holler in
Wisconsin, = the Colonel said. He
was just about the most useful prison
er we had at Joliet prison. For years
he had been driving the mule which
was used in collecting scrap paper
about the prison. He had driven that
old mule for years and since Holler
came over into Wisconsin to work the
mulo has absolutely refused to be com
forted We have either got to get
Holler back to Joliet or get new mule
and guess the latter course would
be the cheaper"
Holler still had time to serve in the
Illinois prison when he was arrested
in Kenosha.

secret for keeping happy and young
hearted at one hundred and her reply
was one al might attend with desir-
able results to themselves: StThe most
important thing is to think Of Others
and net ones self and to do for others
all one can. Happiness comes when
you are not striving especially for it,
but are trying cheerfully to do the

give. than to receive. I know this is
true and wish all could be made to
understand it.

things Of today better than those
Of yesterday.

one day she made her first trip to the
movies and declared that it was de-
hghtful entertainment and that she
was going often. She ism t the

with the procession and neither lags,

road to yesterday to past they can

it in conversation and story with the
charm it still must hold for her, might
make them uselessly envious of a life

FULLER SUCCEEDS RANDALL.
F. A. Fuller, Oshkosh, Named TO Sue
coed Judge Randall in High Office.

Judge Randall gave up his office as
District Deputy Grand Exalted Ruler
of the Elks in the eastern district of
Wisconsin today when the formal order
of the Grand Exalted Ruler was pro
mulgated, appointing Frank A. Fuller of
Oshkosh to take the place of Judge
Randall. The Kenosha jurist has been
one of the most active workers in the
field of Elkdom and many OF the
lodges in the jurisdiction would have
been pleased to have seen his re-
appointment. Being district deputy is
like being sheriff in a Wisconsin
county. But one term is allowed to
each man. District Deputy Fuller is
widely known among Elks in Kenosha
and the choice of the new Grand FIX
allied Ruler of Mr.. Fuller for his repre-
sentative in this district, meets with
the entire. approval Of the Kenesha
Elks District Deputy Fuller will asit
the Kenosha lodge sor.e time in the
early winter and he is assured most
cordial welcome.

KOsCAK CASE ON CALENDAR
Little Reason to Believe That Famous
Defendant VIII Be Brought to Trial
Hope to Complete Hearing of All
Cases Within Month.

The regular October term of the cir
cult court viii open on next Monday
morning and the calendar for the term
was issued today by Clerk of the Cir
cult Court B. M. DeDiemar and the
calendar shows a total of twenty-five
cases to be tried at this term. There
are not a great many important cases
on the various portions of the calendar
and the officials of the court are hope
full that the term viii be concluded
within month.
There are ten cases on the criminal
calendar for the term. The calendar
is headed by the case of the State VS..
George Koscak, but there is little rea-
son to believe that there will be any
hearing of this case. The district at
torney has shown no willingness to
bring the case to trial again and there
is little reason to believe that the at
torneys for the defendant will have
any part in urging a trial.
The old case Of the State VS.. Philip
Kastnake is on the calendar Kast-
make eloped from the county Jail
good many years ago and is supposed
to be still going. No trace of him has
ever been found and it is not probable
that any great effort is being made to
find him. Kastnake was charged with
larceny. The case of Grace Gillian
charged with arson is also ON the cal
endar, but there is little reason to be-
heve that II will be tried Mrs. Gil
liam is now in a southern state and her
attorney, Calvin Stewart, is confined to
his home with typhoid fever The
case of the State VS.. Clarence Mitchell
charged with burglary will probably
be tried and it is probable that the
case of the State VS.. Sam Molinaro
charged with attempted murder will
also go to trial District Attorney
Drury has announced that he will be
ready for trial of all the cases with the
exception of the Koscak case on tho
opening day of the term, next Monday.
The cases set for trial ON the calen-
dar are as follows:

LARGE POTATO CROP THIS YEAR
More Than 100000 Bushels Raised
in wisconsin Says Prof. Taylor.

Wisconsin produces twenty per cent
of the potatoes of the country market
ed in interstate trade, or from
100000 to 25,0o0,00o bushels, ae-
cording to Prof. H. G. Taylor in an
article on s'The Marketing of Pota-
toes issued by the University of Wis
consin agricultural experiment station,
Badger raised potatoes are shipped to
all parts of the country, through Chi
cago and the big cities of the middle
west, are the big consuming markets.
Ranking the potato producing coun-
ties, Mr.. Taylor puts Portage, Wau-
paca and Waushara counties first.
They produce nearly one-quarter of the
potatoes raised In the state, Sank
county ranks next, with Adams, Juneau
and Marquette counties following.
These seven counties producing about
one-third of the potato crop of the
state. Wisconsin, Maine, Michigan
and Minnesota are given as the great
producing states, Maine and Michigan
ranking slightly ahead of Wisconsin.
Farmers are the largest storers of po-
tatoes, the dealers warehouses being
sufficient to hold less than one-third of
the crop, says Mr.. Taylor. "It is more
economical for the farmers to store at
home and haul to the shipping point
at their convenience, he finds.
Grading and shipping and the present
system of distribution, Prof. Taylor
contends, are responsible for high
prices.

10Th CASE REVERSED.
Supreme Court Reverses Decision in
Case Against Macomber & Whyte Co.

Supreme Court Reverses Decision in
Case Against Macomber & Whyte Co.
The Supreme Court of Wisconsin
handed down decision on Tuesday
afternoon reversing the decision of the
circuit court Of Kenosha county In
the suit of Clarence Foth against the
Macomber & Whyte Rope Company. In
the lower court the plaintiff was given
damages to the amount of $1,000 for
injuries which he received in an acct
dent at the rope plant on June 6, 1918.
The case had been regarded as one of
great Importance to manufacturers.
When the case was called for trial the
jurisdiction of the court was question
ed and it was asserted by the attorneys
for the defendant company that the
settlement of the claim of Foth was
Wisconsin. The court overruled this
contention and sent the evidence In
the case to the jury. Efforts were later
made to have the verdict of the jury
SET dSlue anu d VefulcC lof inc ueIeuu-
ant company rendered. This was al
so denied by Judge Belden and the ap-
peal was taken to the supreme court.
The remittatur has not as yet been re-
ceived in Kenosha but it will probably
furnish very interesting reading for
men interested in manufacturing insti-
tutions in the city and in Wisconsin.
Cavanagh, Barnes and Cavanagh rep
resented the defendant company in the
asacagfal appeal of the case.

From Bureau Of Farm Development,
Memphis, Tenn.

The greatest campaign ever or
ganized to bring about better farm
ing methods in the South was
launched November eth in Mem
phis, and Shelby County, Tenn,
when sixty speakers, many OF
them experts of national fame,
carried the doctrine of better
farming into the rural districts.
The campaign inclndes eighty
three counties in Tennessee, Ar
kansas and Mississippi. The Mis-
sissippi campaign will open No
vember 18th and continue till De-
cember 2oth. The campaign is
under the direction of II M Cot
trell, former agricultural commits
sioner of the Rock Island Lines.
Among the leading speakers in
the campaign are Professor p G
Holden, Mrs g H Mathis, the re-
claimer of worn-out Southern
farms, H S Mobley, president of
the Arkansas Farmers Union.
The campaign was opened with a
dinner at the Hotel Chisca Mon
day night, attended by 200 Mem
phis business men, professional
men, educators, farm owners and
agriculturists. All the interests
in Memphis and vicinity are en-
Enthusiastically supporting the cam
paign.
The purpose of the campaign is
to induce every farmer in the
Memphis territory to raise food
for his family and feed for his an
imals in 1916. In addition he
should raise surplus of products
to provide clothing and essential
comforts for the family. Cotton,
in 1916, should be a surplus
money crop. Every farmer fol-
lowing this plan will make a liv-
ing off his farm, no matter how
small, will have no bills to meet
and his cotton money will be free
for buying necessaries and lux
uries. Farmers will be better off
as result and will have more
money to spend with their local
merchants, which, in turn, viii
be reflected by greater prosperit,
for merchants, bankers and whole
sale men in Memphis.
The idea of the better farming
campaign resulted when banker.
The vidette. (Iuka, Tishomingo County, Miss.) 1912-1967, 1915-11-18

and merchants found from their
correspondence that the high price
of cotton this fall, having jumped
from cents to IL cents pound,
may result in general return of
farmers to exclusive cotton grow
ing instead of diversiiication.
Such move, business men and
agricultural scientists say, would
result in disaster. A return to
previous conditions would mean
that cotton farmers would so into
debt for food for their families and
feed for their stock. If cotton
prices are low next year the in
dustry would be paralyzed and the
growers with it as in the fall of
1914.
With this knowledge of con-
ditions the executive committee of
the Bureau of Farm Development,
headed by Chas. ] Haase, chair.
man, and under the direction of Fl
NJ Cottrell, agriculturist of the
bureau, planned the campaign for
better farming which will extend
through eighty.three counties in
Tennessee, Arkansas and Missis.

Laws Governing Subscriptions.
Here are the decisions of the
United States court on the above
subject:
Subscribers who do not give
express notice to the contrary are
considered as wishing to renew
their subscription.
If the subscribers order a dis
continuance of their publication
the publisher may continue to
send them until all dues are paid.
Ii the subscriber refuses to take
periodicals from the postoffice to
which they are directed he is re-
sponsible until he has settled his
bill and ordered the paper dis
continued.
II subscribers move to other
places without informing the pub
Usher and the papers are sent to
his former address, the subscriber
is held responsible.
The courts haveheld that re-
fusing to take periodicals from the
postoffice or removing and leaving
them uncalled for is prima facia
evidence of intention to defraud.
If subscribers pay in advance,
they are bound to give notice al
the end of time if they do not wish
to continue taking it, otherwise
the subscriber is responsible unit
cypress notice with payment of al
arrearages is made to the pub.
