u. 6. Deputy Marshal
Spilled Spoiled Beans

Some one spilled the beans, just
wo, deponeth sayeth not, but Deputy
L. S. Marshal Don Willis gathered
up a carload of the same here last
Saturday on orders Of the federal
court.
The beans were from Japan, and a
variety called 'fhorse BEANS" what
ever that is, and were on their way
to New York when they were discov-
cred to be far from healthy. For that
reason the car was cut out Of the
train and held here until the neces-
sary proceedings could be had in the
federal court to have them legally
ditched.
It was an interstate case requiring
federal action.
The car with its wormy contents
was stored at Spear Bros. warehouse
pending instructions from the court.

PUBLIC OWNERSHIP VS..
PRIVATE OWNERSHIP


The going of summer students at
the Normal and the coming in Of new
students for the regular term of
school, has made the Santa Fe station
a busy place for the past week. But
it is not only the seasons of the year
that patrons prefer to stand out
in the rain and snow, but many other
times, preferring it to being cooped
up in the dinky, stuffy depot. All the
sanitary regulations in force are not
sufficient to keep passenger in the
small box office long enough to wait
for a train, consequently the plat
form and an umbrella is the main
station unless they wait over town
in hotel or at the home of friend
until they hear the train whistle.
The receipts Of the Flagstaff sta
ton would build new depot about
every three months, but it seems the
the proper official, whoever he is, has
the same idea the government has
concerning postofice building. 1t
has been pointed out that private
ownership of public utilities is much
preferable to public ownership. If
this is true, the railroad officials
should look into the matter and see
whether or not they can beat the
government to it in this particular
instance.
Under present conditions, if you
own lock box, you may be able to
crowd through and open your mail
box in the dark, but if you want
stamps or something Of that kind
it is necessary to take a day off and
wait in line until your turn comes.
The real difference between the
government, and sometimes a rail-
road, is that good business man will
endeavor to keep up with his business
and be able to accommodate his grow
ing trade; with the government, it Is
either lucky pork-barrel stunts or
waive of popular indignation at the
treatment the people are compelled
to undergo that bring about results.
The railroad companies attempt to
show that they can give better SER
vice than the government could.
But do they?
When you happen to be out on a
limb, as Flagstaff seems to be, there
is very little grand scrambling to
keep up a service in the interest of
the welfare of the people generally
speaking.
The Santa Fe has done much more
than the government along this line.
The Santa Fe has done much less
along this line than any good bust
ness man would have done if he was
doing the business the Santa Fe is
doing.
And there are:
Public ownership-stand out in the
rain and snow and wait for your mail
and stamps.
Private ownership-stand out in the
rain and snow and wait for your train.
Great bodies move slowly. But it
does look to one that private cor
poration is less bigger than govern
ment corporation and should be able
to give us relief for our cash some
quicker than the government does
because they can demand cash in adj
vance.
Just where is the advantage in
either public or private ownership
that you have heard talked about so
much?

KILBOURN
LADY IS HONORED

Mrs. Helen M. Stroud, a former
Columbia county lady, who made the
village of Kilbourn her residence for
nearly a half century, was honored
at a birthday celebration in connec-
ton with a reception given her SON.
in-law, Rev. DR.. J. E. Berry, by the
Mission Hills M. E. church at San
Diego, Gallo, October Is. Mrs. Berry
is a daughter of Mrs. Stroud and a
sister of Judge w. S. Stroud, of Port
age. Rev. Mr.. Berry was for several
years pastor of the M. e. church at
Kilbourn. The reception given the
reverend gentleman marked the &C
ceptance of his reassignment to the
pastorate of the Mission Hills con-
gregation, he having previously
served in that capacity. Mrs. Stroud,
whose S5th birthday was so pleas
antly noted by the congregation, was
with the Berry family when they re-
turned to the Mission Hills pastorate.
Mrs. Stroud was born IN New YORK,
October 10, 1881, later coming to
Wisconsin. She was the wife of the
late Perry Stroud of Kilbourn and
the mother of two children, Mrs. May
Berry and William S. Stroud. She
has made San Diego her home for the
past four years. She was a resident
of Kilbourn from it's earliest founda-
ton, the family being one of the most
prominent in the social, civil and re-
ligious upbuilding Of the village. For
many years she was notably active
and efficient as a leader in the affairs
of the Methodist Episcopal church or
ganization at the Dells City. She is
still hale and hearty.

COUPLE CELEBRATE
GOLDEN WEDDING

Neighbors and friends to the num-
Der of forty-four gathered at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. J. E. Savage
on Saturday night, November 4, and
celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of
their wedding. The evening was
spent in playing card games, social
conversation, music and songs. The
music was given by Mrs. Duncan
JONES' her daughter Eleanor, Miss
Leona Sturdevant and Miss Laveta
Johnson. About II o'clock sand
Wiches, cake, coffee were bountifully
served, after which George Bailey
moved about the company with a
plate and many dollars fell upon it
which were given to the host and
hostess in remembrance Of the &C.
casion. The contents of the plate so
surprised them they could not make
reply, so their son, HI. w Savage,
thanked the company and told of the
events of their life from fifty years
ago until now. The venerable couple
left the Franklin Johnson place and
came to Baraboo, where the wedding
was performed. Before they left the
house the sky was cloudy, but before
reaching the village the day was as
clear, balmy and beautiful as the one
last Saturday-their fftieth wedding
day.
Mr.. and Mrs. Savage have resided
in Baraboo many years and their
many friends trust the skies will be
clear for them on many future ami
versaries.

KEEPING AHEAD

1t was an American business firm
who some forty-three years ago show
ed the world how to perfect the me-
dicinal properties of cod liver oil and
make it pleasant to take, which inn
mediately popularized cod liver oil
throughout the whole world.
Not content with this great success,
however, Scott & Browne have con-
tinued to evolve methods and machin-
cry to keep SCOTS Emulsion finer,
purer and richer than the limitations
which patterned after their plans, and
today every precaution that human
ingenuity can devise is employed to
keep SCOTS Emulsion the finest and
purest medicinal food in the world.
The refining of raw cod liver oil as
practiced with the crude equipments
available along the Norwegian coast
has never squared with the ideals of
Scott & Browne and they have just
completed a spacious refining plant
adjoining their laboratories in Bloom
field, ~ j., which is refrigerated to
the climate of Norway and equipped
with unusual sanitary devices which
will forever insure supreme quality
Of cod liver oil in every bottle Of
SCOTS Emulsion and place it above
and beyond all commercial substif
tutes which may contain the usual
suspicious or adulterated oils.
