Letter Comes
From Wilton

Wilton Wis, Jan. 17.-That Con-
gresham Esch can be induced by a
large petition of the ''drys'' of his dis
trict TO support the national prohibi-
ton amendment when it comes to a
vote this time, thereby reversing his
former vote, is the opinion of Rev. A.
r. Frederick, Wisconsin's fighting
parson" as expressed in an address
here yesterday The preacher-legi sla-
tor is preparing petition blanks which
will be circulated throughout the entire
congressional district and which he ex-
poets will be signed by thousands of
voters.
Il understand that Mr.. Esch ad-
dressed the young men of La Crosse
recently on Safeguarding the Home, :"
said Mr.. Frederick. ''Now he ought to
be consistent and help fight an institu-
ton which destroys thousands upon
thousands of homes annually. Mr..
Esch, being the splendid gentleman and
churchman that he is, ought to be the
leader of the ''dry" forces in Congress
instead of tagging far behind or even
being on the wrong side. But surely
he ought to be willing to submit this
question to a vote of the nation

IN TEXAS

Dallas, Texas, January 13:-When |
promised to write to you | did not think
that my first letter would have to
give expression to such feelings
of sadness as I experience today
upon hearing of the death of dear
Brother B. E Ray. To be sure | was
not member of his church nor an
associate pastor of his city, but was
brother in his high christian realm of
spiritual fellowship and fraternal good
will. It was my privilege often to
associate with him in our monthly mi1lis-
terial meetings and unions services, and
[ was drawn to him by his kindly spirit.
his humble, unselfish ways, his metal
ability, refinement and culture. Almost
stranger among US, he made many
friends, and when I think of the loss
his church has sustained and the
supreme and inexpressible loss to his
family, | am grieved beyond express
sion. Shall we meet again? | think
so!
The death of such 8 good woman as
Mira. Congden enriches heaven but
adds sanctifed sorrow to earth. L
taought to see her again.

We made the run from St. Louis
from Friday the seventh at $50 p. M,
reaching Dallas the next day at 1910

was due mainly to the substantial steel
cars and the accident occurring in
deep cut, the cars being thrown

Crazy Weather
The thing of most common interest
here just now is the crazy weather.
Tuesday we were sweltering under q
summer sun, temperature 70 degrees
above zero. The next day after a stormy
night we were hugging the gas stove and
registers and blttoning all the buttons
on our heaviest overcoats and fasten-

degrees from 4 o'clock in the morning
to 10 o'clock the same morning is going

an unusual occurrence and soon gives
way to normal conditions, with sunny
skies and balmy breezes so bracing and
comfortable in contrast to the keen
cutting frosty winds of dear old Badger

The times here are looking up some
since the cotton market is improved
not much fear is expressed that in the
event of the close of the war any great
reverses will affect the south, but on
the contrary add something to it's COM
mercial prosperity by the increased
price of cotton that would be inevitable.
However greater interest is being felt
in diversified farming. The ''Texas In
dustrial Congress" is promoting a
healthy interest on the matter of ro-
tation of crops and not depend entirely
upon cotton raising and the farmers
are finding out that they have resources
beyond their highest ideals.

Their farming contest among the boys
and girls have surprised and delighted
the folks. One Is year old boy won
first in the peanut club, raising 1876
bushels to the acre. Peanuts are a
good crop here They are raised most

for fattening hogs, the hogs doing the
