Fort Atkinson.

H. L. Hoard left Monday night for
Rochester, Mimi, where he will have
an X-ray taken of his stomach and
duodenum at the famous Mayo Bros.
hospital. Whether or not he will have
to undergo an operation depends upon
what is revealed at the examination.
He was accompanied by Mrs. Hoard
and DR.. H. O. Caswell.
Edward G. Edwards, cattle buyer,
and Jack Humphrey, both of IXOnia,
were instantly killed Wednesday at
4:30 o'clock, when train struck the
automobile in which they were riding,
at a railroad crossing half mile east of
Dousman. The road approaching the
crossing is on down hill grade. The
men saw the train approaching, but
when the brakes were applied the car
skidded and slid into the path of the
approaching train.
Families in Fl. Atkinson whose heads
are at the present time at the border
with Uncle Sans soldiers, are receiv
ing checks which are being given out
by the government. All dependent
families are getting checks amounting
to $50 per month, less the amount
which the husband is receiving while
at Camp Wilson, This will be big
help to some who have large families
to take care of, and ouly the mother
left behind to do it.
Fort Atkinson friends were shocked
last Friday to learn of the death from
heart failure, Thursday afternoon,
Nov. 18th, of Delos Brown, at the home
of his daughter, Mrs. C. w. Leitsch,
at Columbus, Wis. Mr.. Brown greeted
old friends here during election week
and seemed in the same good health of
former years. He left the city last
Monday for Columbus to assist his
daughter with preparations for trip
to California, and intended to come
back to Fort Atkinson this week to
spend the winter.

Our Two Brains.

Nature, according to a new theory.
has given US two brains, just as she
has given us pair of eyes, hands and
ears, which help each other to do the
work of the body.
Every one has two brains, but he
uses only one for intellectual purposes.
If man is right handed he uses the
left brain. The left handed one uses
the right brain. Which brain we are
going to use is therefore decided by
which hand we make use of first when
we are babies.
The brain which is not being used
for the intellect helps the other to min
lister to the body. 1t also serves as an
emergency brain in case of disease or
accident. Sometimes memory Oh speech
is destroyed by accident, and if the
second brain is trained it may do the
work Of the other which has been de-
stroyed. 1t is easier to train the brain
in this way if the patient is under thir-
ty years of age.

passed upon seventeen proposed trunk
lines to be built under the county high

through the towns of Christiana and
Deerfield from Cottage Grove to Cam

Christiana's share being 20 per cent
and Deerfeld's share Is per cent. The
sentiment on the board was in favor of
gravel roads which are not only cheap
er than macadam but easier to keep In
repair.
At Cambridge Wednesday at noon at
the home of the brides mother, Mrs.
Allan Lee, occurred the wedding of
Miss Ella A. Lee of Madison and Rob-
ert M. Eighmy of Mcfarland. Miss
Lee is a graduate of the Wittenberg
academy at Wittenberg. Wis, and for

Charity's Reward.

There is going the rounds of the
clubs where certain of the towns ply
sicians and surgeons meet a story of
a young doctor who had a number of
charity cases. This young doctor, as
runs the narrative, had occasion to
visit woman who was very poor,
with several children. He prescribed
for her cases and, touched by the evil
dent poverty of the family, gave the
woman S.. Buy the medicine and
use what is left for food" he said
kindly, going his way. The next day
he returned to see how his patient was
getting along.

the children, who met the young doc
tor at the door. "She took that S. and

COMMITTEE REPORT ON
COUNTY FARM.
January 1916 Term.

To the Honorable Grand
Jury:
We, your committee ap-
pointed to inspect the county
Farm, beg leave to make the
following report:
We examined very closely
every part of the farm and
find the same conducted and
managed in a business way in
every respect; we find the
prisoners in a healthy condi-
ton, we'll cared for and we'll
clothed; we find the cages in
good sanitary condition and
has every appearance of being
kept in such condition.
We examined the farm itself
and find all work is being done
in a good substantial way in
farmer-like manner, and the
general appearance is such
that we are convinced that the
working of the farm this year
will be a success, and will be
a revenue producer and is a
credit to our county .
We are pleased to state that
we are convinced that this is
a splendid property and a good
asset to the county.
We submit this report after
diligent inquiry and personal
examination.

airy, 1916.

ments; the committee reports
that they have made a person
al inspection of these books,
and in so far as they know,
same are true and correct; but
we further suggest, that in
order to make a personal eX-
animation of the tax collectors
report, his reports, and settle
ments, and to attest the cor
rectness Of same, that it would
take the services of a compe-
tent auditor, and by so doing,
the people of this county
would be in a position to
know of the true conditions Of
same; the committee has done
the best it can under the cir
cumstances. and as heretofore
stated, finds same kept in a
| neat, attractive and business
like manner.
We call attention of the
Justices of Peace of this
county to Chapter lip of the
Laws of 1910, and urge them
to conform thereto; we under
stand that it has been the dis
position of some of the Justices
of Peace of this county in not
calling the attention of the
County Attorney, of certain
causes triable in their courts,
in which the said County At
torney is required to appear;
if they will cooperate with the
County Attorney, it will enable
him to have proper witnesses
summoned before the Grand
Jury in their Investigations,
so that those who are not
needed may not appear, save
the time Of the Grand Jury,
and money to the tax payers
Of this county.
It has been the policy of
this Grand Jury to only find
indictments in cases which we
thought the evidence would
sustain in your Court, We
found, upon slight investiga-
ton, that there has been an
appreciate decrease in viola
tons over the county, which
was borne out by the small
number of felonies bound over
to await the action of the
Grand Jury; the vigilance of
The past and present admins
tration is deserving of mention.
In conclusion, we desire to
return thanks to Your Honor
for the courtesies shown us;
to the able District Attorney,
and the County Prosecuting
Attorney for the assistance
rendered us in the discharge
of our duties; and to the Sher-
if and Circuit Clerk, and the
County Auditor, and all of
the officials and deputies for
their many kindnesses, and
having been in session seven
days, and having performed
our duties to the best of our
ability, we now respectfully
ask to be discharged.

MAKE FARM SURVEY
Former Secretary of Agricul.
ture Secures Valuable Facts
INTERESTS IOWA FARMERS
"Tama Jim" Wilson Who Is Member
Of National Agricultural Society
Issues Report On Research
Iowa a Leading State.

Tama.-James Wilson, secretary OF
agriculture in the cabinets OF Presi-
dents Mckinley, Roosevelt and Taft,
has just completed for the National
Agricultural society, Of which he is
president, survey of the most I'M
portant development in American
farming at the present time.
This is the agricultural extension
work now being carried on by the ag-
ricultural colleges of the country, the
department of agriculture at Washing
ton, and other allied agencies to reach
the farmers directly.
The National Agricultural society
sent Mr.. Wilson through the country
to carry out it's objects of modifying
American agriculture and establishing
a unity of purpose among farmers.
Former Secretary Wilson, in report
ing the result of his investigation
says:
THE world has never seen the like
of this present educational movement.
Every properly equipped educational
agency in the country has been set
in motion at actual first hand work
among the farmers. In every one OF
the forty-eight states the campaign is
being pushed vigorously, and | be-
lieve that at the present time at least
half of the active farming element
OF the country is either in direct or
indirect contact with the movement.
This year there was spent in farm
demonstration alone approximately
$5,000,000 and every one of the states
shared in it's benefits. In Texas, for
instance, the expenditures in this work
for the present fiscal year will come
to $250,000, in New York state 100000
and in Iowa to approximately the
same amount. In each Of some nine
or ten other states the expenditure
will average not less than Sl50,00O.
Much of this money was made
available through the operations OF
the Smith-Lever agricultural eXtens.
ion act although the department o.
agriculture at Washington appropriat.
ed from it's own fund almost $1,000
600. The remainder of the monsy
came from the states themselves.
This fund of S5,O00,000 was spent
in actual field work; that is, in send
ing the farmer to college, or rather
in taking the college to the farmer
When one recalls that in addition to
the above the yearly activities Of the
department of agriculture at Washing
ton average about s30000,000 it will
be seen that the country has gone
about the education of the farmer in
a most surprising way. Account
should also be taken of the regular
work of the agricultural colleges Of
the country which are turning out
thousands of young men every year,
so per cent of whom engage in some
form of agriculture. 1t is clearly evil
dent, think, that the United States
is beginning to realize what can be
done in the way of agricultural educa-
ton. 20 rraa
