Steers and Diamonds.

Baraboo Democrat: From Chicago
comes the report that prime steers
touched $1005 on last Thursday at the
big stock yards. And what is discour-
aging for the farmer is the prediction
that within the period of 60 days this
figure will advance to no less than $11
per hundred pounds. This is one of
the penalties Of dairying so extensively
no beef cattle are being grown on
the COW farms. And the price of
porterhouse steak has advanced to such
a point that they rank now with the
extra luxuries of the world None
may eat porterhouse steaks, except
those who wear diamonds, and in some
cases one with diamonds must need to
sell them in order to buy the steaks.
It's a standoff between diamonds and
choice cuts of meat, either beef, mutton
or hog flesh.

Monroe Is To Have a Theatre.

Platteville Witness: Plans of several
months figuring have eliminated in
the purchase by Leon Goetz of the
Treat property on the south side of the
square which is the initial step com
pleted, for the carrying out of compre
hensive plans for the erection CT fine
large theatre for Monroe.
Building operations will be started
about the first of April, and take the
greater part of the summer to complete.
The theatre will contain tho very latest
in up to date equipment and will have
every necessary convenience installed
for the patron.
A ladies' and children's rest room
and smoking room for gentlemen
with every equipment for comfort will
be new feature, and the entire theatre
will be designed with comfort as the
watchword.
The seating for seven hundred and
fifty persons, will be divided over the
main floor and balcony. The stage will
be large enough to accommodate any
of the big road companies and bringing
the house in line for the greatest of at
fractions.

LANCASTER.

Grant County Herald: Incalculable
damage was done to Grant county
roads during the thaw and subsequent
rainstorm Of last week. William Hoff
man and other old residents who have
lived on Grant for many years, say the
stream was the highest for twenty five
years and possibly all records broken.
1t would seem as far as the roads are
concerned, that the macadam roads
have stood up very we'll during freshet
and show practically no damages as
compared to the dirt roads. Food for
thought here, especially for those who
advocate systematic oiling on plain dirt
as the best highway.

THE mil WAUKEE" ERECTS A
NEW MILESTONE IN TRANS
PORTATION Achievement

When early in January Of this year
the first electrically drawn "O'vm
plan mounted with ease the vast
ramparts of the mighty Rockies, a
page was turned in the history of
transportation, and a new chapter
The Electrical Era in Railroading''
began.
Splendid have been the past chapters
in western up building where the path
finders Lewis and Clark, the prairie
schooner, the pony express, the first
wood burning locomotives, aud later
the great Mallet steam locomotives,
have each in turn led the march of
transportation development.
But the world is ever moving on
ward to greater economies, greater
efficiencies. greater delights, and the
electrical era will challenge the Past
in splendid achievement, calling on the
mountain streams for their tremen-
dous, perpetual power, mastering the
mountain barriers with the ease Of the
prairies, hauling heavier loads with
greater dispatch, and leaving the beau
tiful mountain solitudes unsullied by
smoke, SCOT and cinders Electric SER
vice stands as a monumental milestone
in transportation achievement.
On your next trip northwest, take
the ''Milwaukee." Equipment, road
bed, scenery and service all combine to
make this the premier transcontinental
route to Spokane, Seattle and Tacoma

MORE REWILDERED EYES.

One of the readers Of this health
column sent clipping Of an article entitled
| who Was Most Blind?" published through
out Wisconsin some months ago. to the editor
| Of magazine published in another state. The
article, it may be remembered, told the story of
| a bright boy who never would read and as a
consequence fell hopelessly behind in his school
work before the defect in his eyes was dis
covered. II concluded with the following: If
you have child who is not displaying normal
curiosity to see for himself what is inside Of
books, have his eyes examined before an ire
parable injury has been done.
A personal letter from the editor to
his friend which has been sent to me by the lat
ter is 50 interesting that l am printing it here:
"Dea1 Paul: You remember that last month
I ran that clipping you sent in the Journal.
There was something about it that struck
home.
Il have two children; a girl fourteen, who is
in the eighth grade and stands highest in the
class, is very bright and maintains her posi-
ton without any apparent study at home. l
have boy of ten in the fourth grade, who
from his reports, must be at the foot of his
class. We make him study evenings after
school and have had him in a gymnasium for
couple of years. re seems strong and healthy
and he likes to have anyone read stories or
books to him, or tell him stories, but he won't
even read the SO called funny part of the Sun
day papers"
After reading that clipping you sent in, 1
brought the boy down town and took him to an
occuist. The doctor informed me that he had a
very aggravated case of astigmatsm, and that
it was very hard for the boy to even distinguish
letters. The m would develop into an ''n'' or
"W'' an 500 would turn into ID etc. had
his eyes thoroughly tested and now l have him
Wear glasses. Of course he has not had them
long enough for us to note any change, but he
tells US that it is much easier to read with the
glasses, than without them. I will let you
know at the end of few months whether he
improves i'll his school work or not. But, am
frank to say that [ believe your clipping will
help one youngster anyway, and that is my
