A Short Sketch. of Ger manys' Balkan Ally Personality of the King Known As The Fox of the Balkans and of the People He Rules.

 ~VER since the start of the World
 War all eyes have been. centered
 on the Balkan States-Greece,
 1@ Roumania and Bulgaria. and especially after the Turks threw their fortunes on the side of the Germans and after the Allies had started, with doubtful wisdom, their Dardanelles campaign. Bulgaria was, psrhaps, of more importance than the other two because her aid to the reutons would arneke gff1es roads tox nConstanti- nop1e much easier to relieve the pres sure upon the SuItan's capital, while the casting of her lot with the Allies would not only have blocked Teutonic progress in the Southeast, but would have had great influence upon the action of the other SIav countries not yet engaged in the struggle. So the entrance of Bulgaria on the side of the German Alliance was master stroke of diplomacy on the part of the Kaiser and his council Although that country, like Serbia, has for sew eral years been in the throes of bit ter and relentless wars, yet she has been able to mobilize a large army pathway of communication and as- sistance all the way from Berlin to- ward the Turkish capital.
 Those who are familiar with the history or the Balkan WasrS of the last few years. or even in times long past, know of the bravery and valor of the soldiers of this little land and feel that Germany has gained an ally whose fighting qualities are unques- toned.
 Fighters From Earliest Times.
 From the earliest times the Bull garians were recognized as fighters, spr according to Herodotus the wild sShracian and II1yrian tribes, ances- tors of the Bu1garians of today, which inhabited the Balkan Peninsula would be the greatest of all nations if they could only agree among them selves and be ruled by one man. But the tribes lived as a rule in a perpet- ual feud. Their history up to the sev- enth century is shrouded in mystery but abolt that time the BuIgars crossed t.le Danube and took posses sion of the territory which now bears their name. After a time they adopted the customs and language of the Slavgs although the old Bulgarians were almost the opposite of this race As early as SIS they made an attack upon ConstantinopIe. then a part of the Roman Empire.
 During the ninth century a certain Boris founded the first Bulgarian ->aaaxchx and made himself lord and

Battles too. have been lost owing to the lack of aircraft, for according to the report of the Aero Club of America the Russians lost warsaw as much be- cause of their lack of aircraft and of competent air pilots as from the shortness of ammunition. At last the world has learned that flying is no longer a mere paStime and that aero a necessary equipment in time of war as gun carriages and the telephone. <
 Millions VIII Be Spent
 The Government of the United States is availing itself of many les. sons which are being taught by the war in Europe, and the value of ayia- ton is one of them. The next year is likely to see some rapid advance ment in this science by the flying corps of both the army and navy. It is expected that the Navy Depart xnent will spend $2.00O, ,o0O.0Ot on aeronautics during the coming year, and $6s00O, 0OO.00 within the next five years if the present plans are ap- proved. A number of naval aircraft stations will be established along the coast. all of which will be equipped with the most modern type of, sea plane such as would make a surprise attack by a foreign nation impossible.

WHY WOMEN
Write LETTERS
To Lydia E. Pinkharr Med.
cine Co.

Women who are well often ask care
the letters which the Lydia f. pinkham
Medicine Co. are continually publishing,
genuine?" Are they truthful! ?"
"Why do women write such letters ? "
In answer we say that never have we
published a fictitious letter or name.
Never, knowingly, have we published
an untruthful letter, or one without the
full and written consent of the woman
who wrote it.
The reason that thousands Of women
from all parts Of the country write such
grateful letters TO the Lydia e. Pink
ham Medicine Co. is that Lydia E. Pink
ham Vegetable Compound has brought
health and happiness into their lives,
once burdened with pain and suffering.
1t has relieved women from some Of
the worst forms of female ills, from dis
placements, Inflammation, liberation,
irregularities, nervousness, weakness,
stomach troubles and from the blues.
1t is impossible for any woman who
is well and who ESSSN

ANOTHER OLD
SCHOOL REPORT
COMES TO LIGHT
INTERESTING LIST OF NAMES OF
THOSE WHO WERE YOUNG
NEARLY FIFTY YEARS
AGO

There appeared in recent issue
of this paper a copy of school re-
port brought to this Office by Miss
Title English, and it brought forth
many kindly memories Of those who
were active in that period. Here is
another old report all the more in
teresting because it goes back to De,
cember "a, 1868, few years beyond
the one brought in by Miss English.
The oldest report is kindly furnished
by Mrs Fannie Lavoo Chandler, 227
Sixth street, Baraboo. AS will be
seen below, the teacher was Kate r.
gunner, and Mrs. Chandler says the
schoolhouse stood on Lake street, not
far east of the Lavoo home at the
corner of Lake and Walnut. The

THE MATTER WITH KANSAS

Governor Capper, of Kansas, recent
Iy pointed out what he deemed to be
the matter of Kansas" The average
Kansan, he said, gets up in the morn
ing in a house made in Michigan, at
the sound of an alarm clock made in
Illinois, puts on his Missouri over
alls; washes his hands with Cincin-
natl soap in a Pennsylvania basin;
sits down to Grand Rapids table;
eats Battle Creek breakfast food, and
Chicago bacon cooked on d Michigan
range; puts New York harness on a
span of Missouri mules and bitches
them to a South Bend wagon, or
starts up his Illinois tractor with a
Moline pillow attached. After the
DAVIS work he rides down town in a
Hetroit automobile, buys box of st.
Louis candy for his wife, and spins
back home, where he listens to music

a mansion copied almost whole from
Italy and set down in the New York
woods.
"There are a hundred rooms in
that house." said Mr. Burroughs. "It
needs a dozen maids to keep them
dustless and it needs dozen gard
eners to keep the grounds. There is
ceiling in it 200 years old and a
carpet 400 years old and relics and
treasures from feudal Europe with
out number; but I would not give
Slabsides or Woodchuck Lodge for it
all, if [ had to live there"
If you should ask me what counsel
would give to young man starting
life-how l would attempt to set him
on the road to happiness-it would
run something like this: Be industri-
GUS. Be honest. Be serious and sin
cere. Don't slur your work. Deal fair
ly: like your neighbor; lend help
ing hand. And don't forget how to
play. Play will keep you young.
Lucky is he who gets his grapes to
market with the bloom on. Reading
the lesson of life to myself, it seems
to teach one thing; that one may
have happy and not altogether use
less life on cheap and easy terms.
The essential things-the true values
are all simple and near at hand
home, friends, health, books, Nature,
a little leisure, a little money, and,
above all things, congenial work
you can put your heart in.
But uncongenial work, even drudg-
cry, is better than idleness and in
difference.-Fort Atkinson Union.

there aren't any unless you care for
