Tobacco Notes

Howard Cullmans, one of the younger
members of the New York tobacco
trade, was visitor in the state last
week in conference with W. Dickinson
and A. Schroede of Stoughton who are
representing Cullman Bros. in the Wis
consin field. The date of the young
mans marriage to a New York lady
next month has already been fixed.
Mr.. N. J. Blur, of the E. Rosenwald
& Bros. firm of New York, visited this
market Tuesday. having come from the
Vernon county district where the firm
has large packing interests. He in
forms us that on January 1st they had
only so acres of the new crop under
contract which has since been added to
until their purchases now exceed 1000
acres, and they have seven warehouses
in operation. He does not expect his
packing will reach that of other years,
however.

The Firemen's Annual Ball.

The Both annual Firemen's ball takes
place in Academy hall next Monday
evening, Feb. 18th. Hatch's orchestra
will furnish the music and will give a
concert from $50 to $50. There are
many reasons why everybody should
purchase ticket and attend this ball.
The service which the fire company
renders this city is incalculable and the
compensation is insignificant, in fact
all the boys receive is the small insur-
ance fee and the proceeds from the an
nual ball. But the dollar paid for the
ball is returned to each one two-fold. In
the way of entertainment-the concert
is worth one dollar and the ball another
even more. Then there are three
hundred and sixty-fve days each year
that these same fire boys stand ready
at a moments notice, day or night, to
risk all that your property and mine
may be saved from flames. It's a
mighty good cause to boost with all the
boost there is in US. If the committee
have not called on you to sell ticket,
Just call on them and purchase one. ].
A. Jensen, Frank Brown or Geo. Rad
dant will be pleased to serve you.

The lev Walk.

l slipped and fell; you heard me yell,
you heard me scream like thunder, as
/ fell fiat and spoiled my hat, and broke
the sidewalk under. | lie in bed with
poulticed head, and legs done up in
plaster, and all the day | roast the jay
who caused that dire disaster. He
knew that glare of ice was there, and
yet he strewed no ashes; score his
gall, and use up all the asterisks and
dashes. An easy thing it is to fling
some ashes on planking; do that, and
then the sons of men your kindness
will be thanking. But those who slip
and break hip or sprain neck or
ankle, on naked ice, will not act nice;
the words they use will rankle. The
thoughtful act that's born Of tact is
like benediction; it takes the smarts
from troubled hearts, and lessons grief
and fiction. The kindly deed will for
you plead when from this world you've
skated; the little things will give you
wings. when you're at last translated.

Found Dead in His Bed.

Charles Pierce, a resident of Edger-

dead in his bed Thursday morning at
the home of A. S. Flagg, for whom he
has been employed for many years.
Heart disease, from which he has been
a great sufferer, was the cause. though
he had been up and around to the very
last.

Monday Club Annual.

On Thursday last occurred the annual
gentlemen's night of the Monday Club
in the Culton Memorial room of the
library. The room was made charm
ingly homelke with curtains, pictures,
potted plants and glowing fire in the
large fireplace The club colors were
skillfully carried out in the decorations,
the yellow of jonquils prevailing. The
following menu was served by the
"club daughters" in dresses of yellow
and white crepe paper:
Cream of chicken soup Croutons
Roast chicken Relish Mashed potatoes
Sweet potatoes Cabbage salad
Rolls Coffee
Orange ice and vanilla cream in orange cups
int pattles Opera sticks
Sailed nuts
At the close of the dinner, few mo-
ments were spent socially, after which
Miss Cecil Wentworth pleased the
guests with piano solo. Miss Doris
Clarke then sang charmingly, Miss
Nellie Bentley played violin solo with
her usual beauty of expression and the
Misses Culton rendered a delightful
violin duet. Then followed laughable
one-act farce, '"The Charge of the
Light Brigade" Those participating
were: Mesdames Clarke, Green, w. T.
Pomeroy, Charles Culton, Bentley,
Farman, E. c. Hopkins, Nicholson,
Holt and McInnes. To say that the
talented performers brought down the
house" is putting it mildly.
Altogether the club and its guests
spent one of the most enjoyable even
ings in it's history.

The Government Makes the First Pay
ment for Slaughtered Animals.

ment for Slaughtered Animals.
w. B. Austin and George Austin,
who own and operate large stock farms
in Johnstown, have received checks for
81, 421.97 and 81, 9O6.03, respectively,
from the United States department of
agriculture to cover the federal gov
ernment's share of the losses incurred
by these men as the result of the con-
demnation and slaughter of their stock
which was found to be afflicted with
the foot and mouth disease.
The amounts paid cover so per cent
Of the value fixed upon the stock by
the government appraisers. 1t is prob
able that the other half will be paid by
the state of Wisconsin, providing the
proposed legislation passes at this ses-
sion of the legislature.
Since November 6, the day the dis
ease was discovered in Wisconsin herds,
4,440 head of stock of all kinds has
been condemned and slaughtered under
the direction of the bureau of animal
industry, as measure of prevention IN
protecting other cattle owners and
other herds.
The value of this stock, as appraised,
was 3106, 645.3 "a, and the government is
paying the owners for their animals on
basis of so per cent of the appraised
valuation. Under this the stock own
ers of the state will receive S53, 327.67
from the department of agriculture,
which is sending out vouchers as rap
idly as claims are filed and established.
The state is planning to bear one-half
the losses sustained by owners of herds
and the legislature is expected to au-
thorize an appropriation to meet the
$50, 1927. CT the federal government will
not pay.
After struggle lasting three months
the fight against the foot and mouth
disease in Wisconsin has been won.
This was the announcement made on
Saturday by DR.. Albert E. Behnke,
who is in charge of the Milwaukee
branch of the bureau of animal indus
try of the United States department of
agriculture. The statement was quail
fed, however, by reference to the pos
sibility of the temperance of isolated
cases of the disease with the approach
of warm weather. On Saturday, ninety
DAYS after issuance of the order that
threw guarantee around the entire
state and prohibited the shipping of
neat cattle, sheep or hogs from Wis
consin and placed restraint on all
stockyards in the state, Wisconsin was
declared free of the disease.

"No matter what criticism may be-

must be based on something else than
the valor of the enlisted men,
Those were true words spoken by an
officer who did hi- men Justice. am officer
who has had every opportunity to know

der. No doubt every officer who has been

Of the enlisted men who have been beating
the brush for foes that fight only from am

II is far easier to fight when one sees hi~

and feel that an enemy l. likely to be in

likely to shoot one in the back than to come
out and fight in the open. must indeed be
far more trying than ordinary warfare.
The soldiers who came down to protect the
border and rout the brush warriors have
indeed proven themselves men Of rare
courage. and no less may be- said Of
their officers. In fight after fight they nave
shown the utmost bravery and coolncss.
I'm almost every instance they have been
