After the paper discussion had been

ANOTHER ATTEMPT
TO ENTER STORE

On Tuesday evening burglars again
attempted to enter the A. M. Rodents
fruit store. About one O'Clock Police
Officer J E. Buckley found one of the
rear doors of the store open but found no
one about the premises. While he was
Investigating two men appeared, but
beat hasty retreat when they saw the
officer. For some reason the burglars
had left after they succeeeed in getting
the outside door open and were proba-
bly, making their return with tools when
they discovered the officer Mr.. Buck
ley telephoned to Mr. Bluemenfeld and
when he arrived everything was made
secure again.
The same night an attempt was made
to enter the Emil Platt saloon through
a window. Holes were bored through
the window sash but their progress was
barred by steel shutters. The wood
door also had holes bored through it,
but owing to steel door, 70 steal was
made. Nothing was left for the thieves
to do but to steal away.

In passing over Wisconsin it is inter

various communities and why their is
such difference in appearance, said
William Toole, Baraboo, Wis, in dis
cussing Wisconsin Beautiful before

loft it will be found that the incen-
tive to improved conditions in neigh

persons. Every man or woman who
strives for something better in home
life should be appreciated.
With It's varied contour of lakes, hills
and valleys, nature has blsssed Wis
consin with many beauty spots and a
large expanse of picturesque scenery.
In southeastern Wisco nsin the people
appreciate their lake surroundings.
About Lake Geneva are some examples
of what wealth can do in promoting
landscape art, how shrubbery will beau
tify homes.
"Across the state. in Crawford and
Richland counties, are rugged hills and
narrow valleys with much of nature
still in primitive grandeur There should
be groves of evergreens and birches on
points of prominence.
Around Madison is vista of beaut-
iful lakes. long drives and ine parks
for the benefit Of the mass of people
we'll as milIionaires, as they have bee
unselfshly provided.
"Along our northwestern borders is
the St. Croix region with it's peculiar
type of scenery, Across to Lake Super
lor one passes hundreds of miles of cut
over lands which will be studded with
thousands of beautiful homes in the fu-
ture-rural scenes of comfort and con-

will long be permitted to retain their
natural beauty.

polls.

John Singleton CrowGe-, who wrote
over $500, 900 of insurance for the Cen
trail Life Insurance company during the
past year has been promoted to state
manager for Indiana and gone from Mad
isou to Indianapolis his headquarters.
He made the best record in all America
this year for his company writing over
$500, 600 of insurance, and the company
promptly recognized the achievement
by giving him jurisdiction over a great
and populous state.
But Mr.. Crowder in going to Indian
apolis, returns home. He was educa-
ted at De PAW. His mother was born
in Indianapolis. John S. New, one of
Indiana's famous edi tors, now candidate
for United States senator, is his cousin.
Senator Beveridge was college
mate, and he has preached and spoken
all over that state, at probably every
county seat. Mr.. Crowder, however, is
not hoosier by birth. He is a south
erner-a Virginian from Richmond.
Mr.. Crowdes wrote all the $780, 900 in
Madison, and a remarkable fact in con-
nection with the circumstance is that
he never penned a policy in his life prior
to Jan. l, 1915.
His family remains in Madison at
least for the present.
Mr.. Crowder was formerly pastor of
the first M E. church in Baraboo.

The feature at the opening of the
January term of the county board on
Thursday was the report of the special
committee appointed to investigate the
conditions ReurroundiDg the officer of
Highway Commissioner. G. F. Post,
his relations to the office of the county
clerk. and the financial situation of the
highway funds of Sauk County. The re-
port covers several pages and but
brief statement can bergiven here.
l. The audit committee did not COM
plete the audit and the books have not
been completely checked up since 1909.
The auditors hired to do the work re-
ported that the records in the office
were not in shape to make the proper
investigation. For the above reason no
financial report could be made. The
committee agreed that Mr.. Post did not
have sufficient assistance but this did
not excuse the audit company for not
doing the work.
In report the audit company report
ed there were cancelled checks for all
disbursements but only found part of
he bills to support the checks and what
they did find they could not identify.
They claimed the road fund balance as
shown is correct according to actual
cash received and paid out. They also
claimed the pay-out should be better
supported by bills and vouches in ad-
dition to cancelled checks.
During the past five or six years over
half million dollars have been spent
in this office and the committee held
the audit should be completed The board
passed a resolution to that effect.
2. The committee found much fric
tion surrounding the off :es of the high
way commissioner and county clerk and
to secure the best results this should be
eliminated. The committee recommend
ed that one book keeper be employed
subject to the orders of the highway
committee and at an expense not to ex-
ceed 81, 900 per year. (For some time
past there has been book keeper i'll
the office of the commissioner and also
one in the office of the county clerk.
1t was also recommended that all over
drawing be- discontinued 1t was advised
that a complete inventory be taken.
Adopted by the board.
The committee recommend that the
highway commissioner secure the ap-
proval of the highway committee before
purchasing material and supplies of all
kinds, exceeding $50; and that all three
of the highway committee endorse the
bills.
The committee expressed the opinion
the commissioner had been too lax in
the purchase of supplies and gave
as an example that the board
authorized the purchase of an auto
mobile to cost $500 or less and that
a machine costing $1,000 at an ex-
pe1se to the county was purchased.
1t was reported the commissioner
agreed to pay the difference if not ap-
proved by the board. The board voted
to let the highway committee adjust
the matter.
4. AS to the friction between the Off
ces of the state and county, the commit
tee recommended the commissioner be
instructed to conform to all the sugges-
