It is told that resident of Farmers
Valley met with quite a loss the night
before Sparta went dry. He drove to
Mrs. E. Sans and daughter, Heller,
of Minneapolis, who have been guests
of relatives in Dane and of Mrs. Sans
niece, Mrs Glen PeIton, in Baraboo, re-
turned this morning
Robert Thompson took to the Pardee-
vile Times Office a small bunch of oats

w. H. Atom and Robert Atom and
daughters have returned from an auto
mobile trip to Sioux City, Iowa. The

in two days so they made some fast
time. They were able to see that the
corn was waist high and that the crops
were looking fine. In Iowa they round
up the roads so the water takes sli de
when it strikes the earth and does not
lie in puddles along the way. To en-
courage the use of the split log drag
the state pays ten dollars mile and
this keeps the roads in good condition.
There are not many macadam roads in
the state but the good dirt roads make
it easy for swift running.
