Frank burlington, Willows, Calf,
who is visiting in Baraboo, reports
that the first oranges to ripen in his
state each season are gathered in his
section of the commonwealth. Already
this season the first shipments have
been made from the northern part of
the state and this is not generally
known by the public. Of course the
cultivated land must be irrigated, and
Mr.. burlington says he has not seen
q raindrop since last February until
he reached the Mississippi valley a
few days ago. On the way from Twin
Falls to California, Mr.. and Mrs. Bur-
rir gton drove over a thousand miles,
and they enjoyed the journey in its
fullest measure. The horse which
they took from Baraboo about thirteen
years ago was one of the team on the
trip. One day when they stopped
they turned the horses loose and the
animals dashed for home. 1t required
a western cowboy to bring them back,
the animals having gone hundred
miles, and more than two days were
required before rope could be thrown
around the neck of each.
AS to politics, Mr.. burlington says
that created the sensation. 1t was a
personal quarrel between the politi-
clans in the state that defeated Mr..
! Hughes. If the candidate had never
gone into California he might have
been elected.
"For Married Men Only" is the title
! of an item that is sent to this office
] by Baraboo reader. Here it is:
For the married man who cannot
| get along without drink the following
. is suggested as a means Of freedom
from bondage to saloons: Start sa-
loon in your own home. Be the only
customer-you'll have no license to
pay. Go to your wife and give her
two dollars to buy gallon of whis-
key, and remember, there are sixty
nine drinks in a gallon. Buy your
drinks from no one but your wife, and
! by the time the first gallon is gone
! she will have eight dollars to put into
, the bank and two dollars to start bus
mess again. Should you live ten years
and continue to buy boose from her,
and then die with snakes in your boots,
| she will have enough money to bury
you decently, educate your children,
! buy house and lot, and marry a de-
cent man, and quit thinking about you
entirely.
