STRINGENT ROAD RULES
Sparta Council Decides That Drivers
Must Obey Ordinance

SPARTA, July 9.-"Dobbin" and old
Kate" the family horses Of the kind
of people who refuse to bow to gaso-
line and speed, will have to turn the
street corners here in the future at
right angles and they will be shown no
more favoritism than the automobile.
Horse driven vehicles VS. gasoline wag-
ons was the subject discussed at length
a the Wednesday night meeting of
the Sparta common council The re-
Gently made traffic rules have kept tbs
Sparta police force on the Jump, and
have resulted in series of arrests.
Martin Davidson informs US that on
a recent day, in company with G. C..
DeGarmo, he drove through Sparta
and was arrested and assessed s. for fail
ure to take the right hand side at a
corner. Knowing Martins reputation
as a careful driver, we felt that he had
been unjustly dealt with by Sparta au-
thorities and had about decided to give
our neighboring city a pronounced
roast" over their lack of courtesy to
strangers when the above dispatch came
to our notice. Then we note in the
Cashton Record that DR.. Cremer was
similarly held up, and the Record makes
few remarks which could hardly be
construed as compliment to Sparta.
So we have changed our mind. 1t is
evident that Sparta authorities are
making determined effort to see that
their traffic ordinance is adhered to,
and are administering the law without
fear or favor. With the continual in
crease in autos, these restrictions are
everywhere needed, and nowhere more
than in our own city. The only criti-
Icism which we deem proper is that I'M
informed strangers should not be dealt
with so severely on the first offense.
Both Cashton and Virosua people would
entertain more kindly feeling for
Sparta had her authorities cautioned
DIR. Cremer and Mr.. Davidson, warned
them aZainst future violation, and LET
| il go at that.

Was Novel Band Concert

The first concert of the season at the
City park by the Third Regiment band
Friday night was a novel and most en-
joyable one. Probably more than a
thousand people took advantage of the
opportunity to hear the band in this
fine natural anphitheatre. Had the
weather been warmer, it would have
been even more pleasant. The boys
rendered one of their finest concerts,
having full membership present. Next
morning the band and mounted ecouts
took special train to Camp Douglas
for a week of army life. They will
return Friday night and with the full
enlistment of outside members will give
one of the finest concerts in the history
of the organization.
In phone message from camp, Chief
Musician Brown tells us that Msigetter
will appear in the concert, and Farder.

Thirtv.eieht on Posted List

The village board Of Westby caused
fifteen of their male citizens to be post
ed in Cashton last week. The posted
list now numbers thirty-eight. Fifteen
from Westby, six from Cashton, and
the balance from Portland, Jefferson
and Christiana, Vernon county. 1t is
hoped that no person will be foolish
enough to let any Of these posted men
have liquor or secure it for them.
There are undoubtedly more men in
Westby, Casht0n and the surrounding
community who should be put on the
prohibited list, and if they are got
mighty careful, they will be. The
Westby board should be praised for
their action. People have often won
dered why this was not done before

RULES FOR HOT WEATHER
Take Good Care of Your Horses in

for care of horses during the hot wealth

should be observed by all:
Load lightly and drive slowly.

Water your horse as often as posi-
BILE. So long as a horse is working,
water in small quantities will not hur,

swallows if he is going to stand still.
Do not fail to water him at night after
he has eaten his hay.
When he comes in after work, sponge
off the harness marks and sweat, his
eyes. his nose and mouth, and the dock.
Wash his feet but not his legs.
If the thermometer is rs degrees OF
higher. wipe him all over with damp
sponge. Use vinegar water if posi-
bic. Do not turn the hose on him.
Saturday night, give him bran mash,
lukewarm; and add tablespoonful OF
saltpetre.
Do not use horse hat, unless it is q
canopy-top hat. The ordinary bell.
shaped hat does more harm than good.
A sponge on top of the head, or ever
a cloth, is good il kept wet. If dry
il is worse than nothing.

him into the shade. remove harness anC

BETTER SANITATION
State Board of Health Sends Out
Timely Hints

In the last quarterly issue of the
Board of Health bulletin are contained
a number of gems in regard to better
sanitation which should be read and
practiced b y everyone. Premature
death is now recognized as one of our
greatest wastes, and throughout the
country has gone forth the decree to
swat the fly" kibosh the rubbish p lie,
and revel in sunshine, pure air and wat
er, to the end that we may live longer
and better.
Lumber used to construct sanitary
toilets will never be used for collins.
A sanitary opthouse and a covered
garbage pail are the cheapest life in
surance that can be obtained.
Burn up your garbage. II IL not
only good sanitary measure, but 1t
destroys one more breeding place for
flies.
The solution of the fly problem lies
in cleanliness. The spring cleanup
should eliminate rubbish from cellar,
yard and alley.
In the 18th century the average length
of human life was q years; in the 18th
century, 26 years; in the 18th century,
"a years; in the Ieth century, 80 years
Were present knowledge utilized the
average length Of human life in this
country could be increased to 60 years
in the 10th century.
Keeping clean is not mater of time
and season. While the spring Of the
year is Universally known as a clean up
period for removing the winters ac-
cumulation of rubbish from your prem
I Uses, it is not necessary to wait until
the mayor or health officer issues @

Human lives are more precious than
bank notes and anything the state can
do to preserve the public health will be
splendid investment. Preventable dis
eases cause loss of at least 800, 900,
900 each year in Wisconsin 1t has the
second lowest state or national death
rate in the world. This is something
to crow over. but no excuse for letting
up in our efforts to be much more
healthy than we are.

oFF no THE GRsAT WAR
Former Vernon Resident On Way to-
Fsout in France

F. H. MinshalI hands US letter con-
corning former resident of this viciu-
ity which will be of interest to our read
ers. The letter is written at Granum,
Alberta, Canada, by h. I. Summons.
DEAR FRIEND: Under separate COW
er am sending you photo Of father in
the clothes he now weare. He enlisted
in February in cavalry regiment and
has since been in training at a place
near here. He was home for the last
time last Sunday and is now on his way
to France. | tried to enlist at the
same time but was turned down. Il
seems d-n hard to believe that they
would turn a young man down and take
his father, but my chance may come
later.
He was very particular that you
should get one of the pictures as he
always thought Of you as one of the
best friends he left back there. He al
so said to tell Bill he would send him
the Kaiser's left mustache when he got
to Berlin. He had third place in rifle
shooting out of Z, 500 who were in the
camp training, so it will 90 hard with
somebody when they get in front of
him.

The bill introduced in the state as
sembly permitting the probate judge
of Vernon county to hold monthly terms
of court at Hillsboro, was coneurred in
by the senate on Friday last. with the
additional provision that LaFarge and
DeSoto sections might be 80 served.
The assembly has not taken action on
the amendments, but will probably do
so. Attorney Hammer of Hillsboro has
been the moving spirit to represent the
eastern section. The bill does not
make it mandatory on the judge to hold
court in those places, but merely makes
il lawful to do so.

BIC Liner Down Wisconsin

The great lake steamer Fremont is
enroute to Portage from the Great
Lakes. The boat left Green Bay some
time ago and will be towed from Oshkosh
to Portage and then will proceed down
the Wisconsin river.
This boat is said to be the largest
that has ever sought passage through
the Fox river and the government can
al. Having a very good knowledge of
the Wisconsin river, we give it as our
opinion that the Fremont will wish she
were an seroplane before she reaches
the mouth of the Wisconsin.

teen numbers for two dollars, coupled
with tie fact that twenty per cent of

James Honaker narrowly escaped
the loss of his tobacco shed and consid-
cradle personal property by fire, in the
early hours of Monday morning. At
one o'clock a neighbor observed flames
issuing from the shed, erd inyestiga-
ton found that the fire originated in a
chest of tools within and spread to a
box of remnant o. hosf1s and lumber,
probably the result Of spontaneous
combustion. The discovery was in sea-
son to extinguish the blaze, with but
minor damage to the building. The fire
department was summoned, but the
first ones on the scene. had succeeded
in putting it out.
