SAUK COUNTY HONORS
WORRY THE JUDGES

Sank county exhibitors have taken
so many prizes in the years that are
gone, at the state fair at Milwaukee
that the judges are confronted with a
serious problem when they go forth
to weigh the exhibits in the scales of
their best judgment. For years and
years E. D. Ochsner of Prairie du
Sac and A. L. Kleeber of Reedsburg
have shown honey so COLDER that the
judges could not avoid giving them
the money. Then the late William
Fox and now Henry Plat hang up the
biggest punches of cranes, Messrs.
Bear, Brown, Bassett, the Planners.
and others, show the choicest apples
and other products of the farm that
the ribbons awarded these exhibitors
make competitors almost frantic. Be-
sides all this, Carpenter & Carpenter
have shown that the finest cattle
which browse the Wisconsin hills
grow in Sank county, and in other de-
partments of agriculture there is
amazement that so much of the prize
money comes this way. Sank county
not only is a leader in things grown
on the farm, but in the intelligence
of the young people educated in her
schools. Year after year the banner
comes to some young person for be-
ing the best in educational lines, and
often the county carries away the
prize for school work at one fell
swoop. When the judges go forth
they begin to find the Sank county
exhibits everywhere and ere long hes
itate to tie on a ribbon, fearing they
will hear in the next breath, what
did you do that for? Sank county
gets everything" They know very
we'll that superior products and SUI
perior intelligence on the part of Sank
county is the pole that knocks the
highest persimmons.

GET INTO DEBT" URGES
LOUIS F. SWIFT

IN the October American Maya
zine, Louis F. Swift says that men
should get into debt. The writer
goes on to explain:
Louis F. Swift, president of Swift
& Company, the great Chicago meat
packing company, has the idea that
being in debt is the surest way to sue
coed. He urges everyone of his thir-
ty-ive thousand employees to get into
debt and to keep in debt, and he has
organized system to encourage them
in this and to show them how to do
it proftably.
"'Get in debt for something of in
trinsic value. and stay in debt he
says. AS soon as you get one thing
paid up, buy something else, and get
in debt again. Stay in debt-never

ton price Of the Baraboo Weekly

ward our patrons, all who pay $1.25
before October /, 1916, will be cred
tied on the list and their subscriptions
extended one year from the present

1, 1916. Any who may wish to pay

AMERICAN DANCES

Quite history of life in the United
States, or of life in any country, could
be made from the story of it's dances.
In this country we think of the minuet
as the grandfather of them all. Per
haps the jig is just as old, and prob
ably it comes nearer to being Ameri-
can. When the gallants of Washing
toms time were dancing the minuet,
and when the Indians were dancing the
war dance, the frontiersmen were, no
doubt, dancing some steps that were
in between these extremes. Down
South at the same time the negro
fiddlers were already making their
debut, and the wild African revels
were Quieting down into the humors
of the buck-and-wing. Along the great
rivers there were f1atboat men who
could jump up and crack their heels
together three times in the air, just
as the Russian dancers do. When the
waltz came in it shocked conservative
people in seabord society, but it did
not shock the Iroquois Indians, nor
the Kentucky mountaineers, nor the
happy mixed inhabitants of New Or
leans. No, indeed. Now not even cul-
tured people can spare time for the
minuet, and in the best circles the
waltz, though in process of timid re-
vival is considered rather slow; but
this is probably because little of the
Creole, a little of the river ruffian
and a little of the Indian is in the
American temperament now.-San
Francisco Bulletin.

REMEDY For NEURASTRENIA

Neurasthenia is a condition of exhaus-
ton of the nervous system. The causes
are varied. Continuous work, mental
or physical, without proper vacation
periods, without proper attention to
diet and exercise, also worry over the
struggle for success, are the most COM
mon causes. Excuses of almost any
kind may produce it. Some diseases,
like the grip, will cause neurasthenia.
So also will severe shock, intense
anxiety or grief.
The symptoms are oversensitiveness,
STritability, disposition to worry over
tFifles, headache, possibly nausea.
The treatment is one OF nutrition of
the nerve cells, requiring a non-alco-
holic tonic. AS the nerves get their
nourishment from the blood the treat
ment must be directed towards build
ing up the blood. DR.. Williams Pink
Pills act directly on the blood and have
proved Of the greatest benefit in many
cases of neurasthenia. A tendency to
anemia, or bloodlessness, shown by
most neurasthenic patients, is also cor.
rected by these tonic pills.
