The favorite drink of the French

All the lower. vicious elements OF the
city were arrayed against him. From
the dives, the gambling houses, the
haunts of the drug sellers and the men
and women who lived on vice and de-
gravity. on crime and ignorance. the
forces of evil sent out their cohorrs
against him. But Bruce, dwelling al
ways ON his fathers martyrdom. on
his own determination not only to
avenge the dead man, but at whatever
risk to himself to continue to fight
against all the forces that were ex.
plotting the poor and the ignorant,
made a great impression and increased
his own popularity tremendously.
He developed into an effective speak
er. and his bitter. ringing speeches
made many converts to his cause.
Dorothy Maxwell had opposed his en-
trance into the campaign since she
feared for his safety. Dorothy was
beginning to be haunted by frightful
suspicions, suspicious she had not dared
as yet to communicate even to Bruce.
But once he was In the fight she
stood by him. Ungrudgingly she con-
scented to the postponement of their
marriage that was made inevitable
since It was impossible for him to take
the time for his wedding during the
campaign. And Dorothy, herself an
ardent advocate of woman suffrage,
did all she could- to array the women
Of the city on his side.
"women can't VOTE" she said In a
speech she made to suffrage organ
iEation, "but they can influence, the
go to the polls with some man and see
that he votes right-f0r Larnigan and
decency, against graft and corruption"
Thousands of women took up that
cry. and the graft organization. which
had expected q walkover when 1t had
eliminated Dudley Larnigan. began
to be worried and to see that It had
removed one only to raise up another
In his place whose youth made him
even more formidable and dangerous.
And meanwhile Dorothy grew more
and more suspicious. She learned that
ner father was bitterly opposed to
Bruce's election.
'T won't have you taking part in his
campaign" he said. "You make me
look ridiculous."
He said this in the presence Of STAN
ford Stone. but Dorothy was not afraid
to speak her mind
II have q right to live my own life!
she flashed. 'Why are you so opposed
to Brucer
Because he's a demagogue, a dan
gerous man." said Maxwell. "Hc, a
rich man, Is siding with the poor-the
Socialists and the anarchists. He is q
traitor to his own class"
'sNow, Maxwell, Miss Dorothy Is en-
titled to her own view," said Stone
.soothingly. But Dorothy had begun
to distrust Stone. She refused to ac-
cept him as an ally. Bruce had told
her Of q discovery he had made. Stone.
while pretending to be friendly. had Sc
-cretiy c6ntributed heavily to the cam
spaiCn fund Of the opposition.
Election day came. Bruce. In his Of
nee, waited. knowing he had done bis
best. The result was with the voters.
Would they trust him? Would they
give him the power he required to do
his work? He was waiting for Doro-

CLOSE OF CHAUTAUQUA WEEK

The week Of entertainments by the
Travers- Wick Chautauqua Company
closed on Monday evening. There were
interesting addresses, good music and
other entertaining features. The
weather was pleasant, though rather
cool, throughout the week; and there
was good sized audience present each
afternoon and evening; and the project
was a financial success.
There was not, however, so large an
attendance as there was last year Or the
year before; nor was there so great a
general interest manifested. This was
doubtless due to some extent to the IN
usually cool summer weather and to
the very attractive entertainments af
forded the past season to the people Of
this community in the Municipal thea
tire.

FARMERS INSTITUTE FOR NEXT
WINTER.

Do you wish Farmers Institute
during the coming winter? If so
application should be made at once to
the Department Of Farmers Institutes,
G. P. Norgord, Supt. Madison, Wis.
The Farmers Institutes are conduct
ed by successful farmers who have long
experience in studying and presenting
the best methods in farming and in
practicing the same on their own
farms. These men have witnessed the
growth of scientific agriculture during
the past 20 years.
Specialists in various lines of the
State Experiment Station appear on the
program. These two type of men in
sure programs of practical and scienti-
fic merit.
A large number of Farmers In
stitutes were held last year, yet all
the demands could not be supplied. It
is therefore important that all applica-
tions be made early.

Badger Farmers are Naming Their
Farms

Wisconsin farms are being christened
this summer at a more rapid rate than
at any time in the states history. This
IS due to the passage of the farm regis
tration act, now listed in chapter %,
laws of 1915, providing for the register
ing Of farms with the register of deeds
upon payment of fee of IS cents.
That this bit Of sentiment in legisla-
ton is meeting with approval is shown
by reports from many localities.
Farms are being named for locality,
sentiment, business, special industry,
and to express content and happiness.
In naming the home farm originality
is of the first Importance, and words
that go we'll together without a harsh
or awkward sound be selected. Plenty
Of time and careful thought must be
used and all members of the family may
well be consulted before deciding upon
a title. The haste with which many a
new calf or colt is provided with a
name should not be applied to naming
the farm,

Money, like men, must be at work
