Ducks and High Finance.

A story of high finance which would
tinge J. Rufus Wallingford's counten-
ance dark green, has been disclosed
following the disappearance of R. M.
Cecil, president of the Ardmere Farm
Corporation of Oconomowoc, Wis.
The story is more involved, has more
ramifcations, covers more states and
includes more different kinds of ground
and lofty financial tumbling than any
George Randolph Chester ever wrote,
and the exploiters who took ffty-six
acres of land, twenty-four acres of
swamp and three acres of duck pond
and juggled them up to a $780, 900 deal
have made "Blackie Daw' and ''Oliver
Onion" Historically jealous.
Ardmere Farm is an institution whose
object is set forth to be the uplift of
the duck family. It's prospectus shows
there is much money to be made in the
raising of fine ducks for market. But
an investigation into the affairs of the
farm by stockholders and others with
whom Cecil has had business dealings
would indicate that the we'll worn ex-
preston concerning ducks and brakes"
might apply to Cecil's operations.
Cecil has been gone from Ardmere
Farm for over month. His wife and
his brother-in-law, Myron T. Sayer of
Minneapolis say they have not the
slightest idea of his whereabouts. And
Sayer, who holds power of attorney
for the missing man, admits that pre-
liminary checking over of the stock
books has revealed number of seem
ing discrepancies.
And now from Iowa, Minnesota,
North Dakota and Wisconsin,, men who
have bought land, mortgages and stock
and who have loaned money and cash
ed checks for Cecil, tell of having lost
money and of having sought legal adj
vice to learn whether Or not they have
cause for criminal action.

Obituary.
DIR. ARTHUR MARsDEN.


DR.. Arthur Marsden, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Henry Marsden, was born on Al
bion Prairie, May Is, 1869, passed to
the great beyond August 81, 1916, at
the age of AZ years, 3 months and 10
days.
| DR.. Marsden spent his youth on his
fathers farm. In 1886 he came to Ed
gerton with the family. He graduated
from high school in 1891. Then choos-
| ing the medical profession, he spent
three years at Rush Medical college,
after which he spent two years in hos
pital work in St. Louis and in the study
of pharmacy. He finished his course
in 1896 and soon after located in Rio.
In 1902 he was married to Miss Byrdie
Pease. Both Mr.. and Mrs. Marsden
were very active in the social life of
the community and made many friends.
The DR.. was great reader. He sang
for years in male quartet.
DR.. Marsden was a very successful
physician and lost few cases. He was
tireless in his devotion to his patients,
and never spared himself either night
or day. For several years he had been
troubled by spells of dizziness. These
were gradually becoming more fire.
quent, more serious, until the end came
suddenly.
He leaves to mourn him his devoted
wife, his loving mother, Mrs. Henry
Marsden, his sister, Mrs. J. w. Conn,
his brother Marvin, and a brother
Charles, who lives in Mitchell, South
Dakota, besides large circle of friends
and relatives. Dr. Marsden was
member of the Masonic oroer, the Mod
ern Woodmen, the Equitable Fraternal
Union and the Royal Neighbors.
Funeral services were held from his
home in Rio Saturday morning, after
which the remains were brought to Ed
gerton for interment. The esteem in
which DR.. Marsden was held in Rio
was testified to by the fact that twenty
five of his friends accompanied the fun
eral party to Portage, and by the fact
that twenty people from Rio made the
SIS mile journey to Edgerton to attend
the funeral services which were held
from his mothers home at 2 o'clock on
Sunday afternoon. Interment was
made at the Albion Prairie cemetery.
The sympathy of the community goes
out to the bereaved relatives.

Hunting Season Opens.

The open season for ducks and geese
starts September and continues until
November 80. Wood ducks are the
only species that do not come under
this open season, being protected the
year round. On the Mississippi or any
of its main tributaries the shooting of
ducks of all kinds is prohibited by law.
The bag limit on wild geese and
brant is limited to 10 each day, while
on ducks the bag limit is Is each day.
While the arrival of ducks from the
north is necessarily dependent upon
proper weather conditions, the van
guard is expected most any day.
Shooting is prohibited between sum
set and sunrise. Band tailed pigeons,
cranes, wood ducks, swans, curlew,
willet, upland plover and smaller. shore
birds. are protected until September l,
1918, under the new federal migratory
bird law. Rifles are prohibited for use
in the hunting of any water fowl ex-
cept wild geese and brant.
Hunters this fall will not be so free
with their ammunition as in previous
years and in most cases will refrain
from shooting at every sign post and
bottle that comes within range. For
not only have guns advanced in price
between 25 and 80 per cent, but the
price of wads, powder, shot, shells and
all other ammunition accessories has
mounted steadily. Loaded shells have
gone up in price 20 cents per box of rs.

She was true and loyal companion, an
affectionate wife and mother exceed
ingly solicitous for the welfare of her
children and altogether unsparing of
self in her efforts to serve friend and
neighbor. Her ideas of chastity and
appropriate conduct were exceptionally
high and on this account she welded
strong influence in favor OF a pure and
noble life wherever she went, thus
helping many young and careless ones
to see the dangers and avoid them.
Though quiet and retiring she was very
pronounced along this line and no one
could mistake the position she held on
such questions. She will be greatly
berieved, not only by her husband, her
children, sisters and brother, but by
many others far and near whom she
