water where he graduated in
1895. Following his graduation from
Whitewater he attended the university
ana finished there in 1897. He taught in
the high school of Sauk City for year
and during the succeeding half decade
was head of the science department OF
the high school in Kenosha.
But all this while that Mr.. Dickie was
teaching the young idea how to guide
itself, the call of the farm was appeal
ing and when he had ended his five
years as pedagogue at Kenosha he re-
turned to the Sauk County acres hehad
learned to love in youth and there has
dwelt and prospered until now it is writ
ten in the assembly directory that he ls
not only farmer but banker, the
latter relation arising from the fact that
he is president of the Bank of North
Freedom, one of the substantial instltu-
tions of the state.
Mr.. Dickie is a republican and has
represented his town on the county
board of Sauk county several years
and was instrumental in providing that
county with a most excellent system of
bookkeeping. AS legislator Mr.. Dickie
is interested first of all ..ssin the promo
ton of home rule-more local control OF
the common affairs of life. Then, too,
he is interested in educational matters,
being especially qualified to consider
problems relating to the schools of the
state. 1t was in recognition of this
qualification that Speaker Whittet
placed Mr.. Dickie on the committee on
education.
Mr.. Dickie is married and has four
children, one boy and three girls, and
they enjoy fine home just little way
from North Freedom in the beautiful
valley that nestles between the bluffs
famous in that region.

Shot While Assisting Mar
shall Declared Legal
Deputy.
HIS WIDOW IS
AWARDED $4,000
Compensation Act Inter-
preted as Binding on
Municipalities.

The village of West Salem is COM
PEELED to pay the sum of So, 1000 to Mrs.
William Voeck, widow of the man shot
down by Walter Jones, while acting as
deputy marshal in subduing the pris-
oner.
This important precedent was fixed
by the Wisconsin, Industrial commission
which Thursday concluded it's review of
the case.
Voeck, plumber, was walking along
the street in West Salem when he was
accosted by the village Marshal, who
commanded him to come to his assist
ance in subduing Jones, upon whom a
deputy sheriff had just served war
rant for arrest. Voeck responded and
fifteen minutes later died from bullet
wounds from Mr.. Jenes' revolver.
The commission says: "The compen~
sation act itself specifically includes
policemen and other peace officers. The
commission takes the stand that Voeck,
Immediately after being requested by
the marshal to come to his assistance,
was temporarily in the employ of the
municipality, and his widow therefore
is entitled to death benefit under the
compensation act. Under the award
the village of West Salem is required to
pay So, 900 to the widow"
The village of West Salem made the
claim that the village marshal was
without authority to deputize or COM
mand Voeck to assist in keeping peace;
also that Voeck was not an employe of
the village at the time he was assassi'
mated.
Voeck was called to assist in the
execution of law because the village
marshal, who was assisting the deputy
sheriff, was cripple. Deputy Sheriff
Weingarten had been given warrant
by the justice of the peace at West
Salem and ordered to serve it. When
he served the warrant upon Jones, the
latter Immediately demanded that he be
taken before the justice so
that he might give bond for his release.
The deputy sheriff complied with the
demand and the village marshal accom-
panied them to the Office of the justice
who disclaimed any au-
thority to release the prisoner on bond.
Jones thereupon used profane and vio~
lent language, fourishlng a revolver
and broke the glass of the door when it
was slammed in his face by the justice.
The village marshal, who was cripple
and totally unable to cope with violence,
left the office to seek assistance. Voeck
happened to be the first man he met and
Voeck thereupon fell victim to the vio-
lence of the prisoner.
The award was made wholly on the
merits of the case, the incident coming
within the scope of the statute.
The murdered man was formerly q
resident of North Freedom and waa
buried there.

Bar0boc High
School Pupil
Writes Song

The following lines were written by
Miss Fern Halbman of Merrimack, a
student in the Baraboo high school, and
have been set in music by Professor
Witz of Madison. The song was
sung at the George Washington cele-
bration on Monday evening.
Far below the rocky hillsides,
In valley green
Stands a high school famed and honored
With record clean
In the midst of busy humming,
Of the bustling town,
On a swift and sparkling river,
Looks she proudly down.
Chorus
Hail to thee, Baraboo
Dear old high school,
Loud her praises sing,
Hail to thee our Baraboo High School
Let her praises ring.
When we're far from scenes familiar,
Far away from home,
We will ne'er forget our high school,
Tho we daily roam.
We will loudly sing her praises,
And extol her name,
For no other can surpass
In honor and in fame.

North Freedom Assembly
man as Seen by Madison
Newspaper Writer.
Madison Democrat

In the front row at the left of Speak
or Whittier of the assembly sists "the
gentleman from Sauk'', Robert B.
Dickie of North Freedom, a farmer, il
you please, also banker and otherwise
interested in the industries that keep
that region on the map, so to speak.
Sauk county seems to prefer the far
mer- legislator to any other kind in re-
cent years. In the 1918 session George
Carpenter represented that subdivision
in the lower house. He, too, was an
agriculturist. famed as breeder of
kline. and as a aw-maker he was alert
and interested in many legislative ac-
tivities. He was ambitious to return
to the 1915 session, but Dickie's friends
induced him to try conclusions with
Carpenter-and they went to it" in
the primary campaign.
Dickie preached the gospel of home
rule while Carpenter had to keep ex-
planning the doings of the 1913 session.
The North Freedom agriculturist held
the edge all through the campaign and
when it came to showdown he had
the Baraboo man beaten. ''Then the
democrats put up Dan Rice and Dickie
had another fight on his hands at the
November election" He won, easily,
however and now is on the job as law
maker.
Mr.. Dickie is native of Sauk coun-
ty, born there At years ago. He attend

school and then went to White

AN ADDRESS ON
SOME Of THE ILLS
Of MODERN LIFE

At the regular meeting of the Fort
nightly Literary club Friday evening,
Rev. B. E. Ray, pastor of the Congre-
gational church, took for the subject of
his paper, "The Disadvantages of Civil
ization." He said that every advantage
had brought with it price. Nothing
is gained without sacrifice or something
else. Civilization carries with it disad-
vantages. AS we make progress in the
arts, or as inventions crowd out old meth
DDS or implements, each step upward
means the passing of something beauti-
full and honey. A hole in the floor or
string of iron pipes has taken the place
of the stove with it's cheerful glow and
there is little sentiment in our modern
heating system. Imagine the author
of "The Reveries of Bachelor" find
ing any inspiration for one of those ex-
quisite essays from gazing at steam
radiator.
Women Protest
Even women sometimes protest
against civilization. | have some rea-
son to believe that more that one wom-
an gets disgusted with civilization in
which the dictates of fashion compel
a woman to hobble or commit other
crimes in dress, like wearing an abnor-
mally long hat pin. am sure man hopes
that the day will pass when it is neces-
sary for him to struggle with the hooks
and eyes on the back of his wite's
waist. He spoke of the Spartan expos
ing their children to the piercing winds
and how the death rate has been de-
creased during the recent centuries; ;hoW
civilization has robbed many of their
freedom by acquiring arbitrary Gus
toms; and how men have always dream
ed of the proportionate development OF
mind, body and spirit.
He spoke of the slowness with which
some things had come. It may be
doubted whether there existed in the
world in 1900 a postal service that
could compare in speed and efficiency
with the express service of the Rom
ans, of the time of Caesar. Within
lifetime there has come the locomotive
and telegraph. Labor saving devices
of all kinds have arrived for the house
wife, bookkeeper, farmer, printer, yet
all are as busy as ever. Inventions have
created new wants. Things are in
the saddle and ride mankind. With all
this has come nervousness in it's mani
fold forms as disease of civilization.
Alcoholism, insanity, numerous diseas-
ca, and other disadvantages have fol-
lowed in the wake of all the improve
meuts which man has wrought.
AS to the present war he said that
such conflicts could not be avoided un-
less there was a change in the inner
man.
The paper was most excellent and
covered a wide field, only a hint of
which is given here. Rev. Ray received
many words of appreciation for present
ing one of the best papers ever given
before the club.
Is the world growing better? and
many similar questions were asked and
answered to the discussion. All agreed
they preferred to live in the twentieth
century rather than any that had
passed.
The meeting was at the home of Mr..
and Mrs. H. E. Cole. At the next gath
ering of the club members an address
will be given by Judge James O'Neil
of Neillsville.

More colleges adopted and played
the open game in 1914 than in any
other season in the history of the
gridiron sport.

six games this season and In $50 min
utes of playing time ran up 375 points
This is a little better than a point

GREEN CUT BONE IS
RELISHED BY FOWLS
Ii Contains All Elements Found
in Egg From Shell to Center
Saves Grain Bill.

Some years ago a certain poultry
keeper wrote of his success with green
cut bone in flock Of laying hens. ALL
the extra care this flock got was to-
see that they got all the extra green.
cut bone they could eat every day.
Laying was heavy, cockerels and hens
grew heavy; it saved other feed. When
next l heard that flock had gone to-
smash after a couple OF years, says a
writer in Twentieth Century Farmer.
Too much pushing, too much green
bone. You cannot give hens all they
will eat of fresh meat. for green cut
bone is certainly fresh meat and fresh
bone mixed. A few years, ago every
poultry writer was experimenting
with green cut bone and giving re-
suits; then the enthusiasm over green
cut bone died out. And yet there u

green cut bone In moderation each
day in certain amounts II you can get

SUCCULENCE IN THE WINTER
Gives Right Tone to Cows Digestive
System to Bring Its Efficiency
Up to Paying Point.

Corn silage should be predominant.
ing factor in the winter ration. There
is nothing superior to water enclosed
IN plant cells to give the ration the
consistency agreeable to tho COW, and
best suited to promote her health and
vigor. 1t is not the amount the COW
digests that wholly determines the re-
turns from her feed, but the amount
that is built into body tissues aud
made into milk.
Succulent feed gives just the right
tone to the animals digestive system
to bring its efficiency up to the limit OF
profitable production. If, therefore,
there Is one quality in feed which is
more important than another, it is that
1t should be palatable and juicy. It
enables the COWS to eat, digest and
assimilate larger quantities of other
feed. There is little danger of cows
going of feed when they are eating
liberal quantities of roots or corn ST.
lage in connection with their grain
feeds.

CHOLERA OUTBREAKS

Where Disease Has Not Yet Ap-

During the last year there has been

does his utmost to suppress it. Where
the disease has not yet occurred 1t Is

The disease is due to infection, and
is usually introduced by new hogs from
infected regions being added to the
herd; the infection may also be car

by birds, dogs, coyotes and In streams.
The disease is usually recognized by
the fact that the hogs begin dying
