DANGERS OF DRAFT.

Drafts feel best when we are hot
and perspiring, just when they are
most dangerous and the result is Neu-
ralgia, Stiff Neck, Sore Muscles or
sometimes an attack of Rheumatism.
In such cases apply Sloan's Liniment.
1t stimulates circulation to the sore
and painful part. The blood flows
freely and in short time the stiffness
and pain leaves. Those suffering from
Neuralgia or Neuralgia Headache will
find one or two applications of Sloan's
Liniment will give grateful relief. The
agonizing pain gives way to tingling
sensation of comfort and warmth and
quiet rest and sleep is possible. Good
for Neuritis too. Price 25c at your
Druggist.

to have him know it nationally.
owe want the subjects of the pho
tographs in this contest to demon
strate not only how bad roads are,
and how good they can be made, but
also what it means to the welfare of
every man, woman and child in the
United States to have good roads. For
instance, we all know that a country
school house located in a district of
good roads has far better attend
ance Of pupils, and for that reason can
offer them better educational oppor-
tunities than a country school in
district of bad roads.
Photographs will be judged first
upon their merit in strikingly empha-
sizing road conditions (good or bad)
second in their pictorial interest, and
third in their Photographic excellence"

SEE THE
BIRD HOUSES
Public Library Has Display in Show
Window of Abel & POdawiltz
Company.

A very interesting display has been
placed in one of the windows of the
Abel & Podawiltz Co. on Second St.
S. This is an exhibit of bird houses,
books on birds and some beautiful col
ored plates.
The exhibition was placed in the
window by the Public Library-the
bird houses were donated to the IL
brary and the books seen are books on
birds and bird life that are circulated
from the library. The colored plates
are from the Audubon Society of New
York.
The idea of the exhibit is to inter
est the boys and girls, especially and
is intended to stimulate in them a de-
sire to protect, feed and house the
birds.

Washington, April 10th.-A nation
wide Photographic contest in the in
terest of the Good Roads Everywhere
movement, with cash prizes of $4,000
open to everybody, was announced at
the National Highways Association
headquarters here today.
Colonel Theodore Roosevelt and the
two welI-known writer's, Miss Ida Tar
bell and Mr.. Mark Sullivan, will serve
as judges in the contest.
Purpose of the Contest
The photographs selected in the com
petition will be used to establish in
Washington a national exhibit on the
good roads problem designed primari-
ly to promote a nationally conceived
scheme of highways.
In connection with the pending leg
islation in Congress to have the fed
eral government shoulder a part of the
task of good roads" construction, the
National Highways Association, it is
explained, desires to have adopted
plan for a system of national high
ways, surveyed and located by expert
engineers, so that federal funds will
not be spent in a hit or miss pork
barrel fashion, but in accordance
with a scientific plan as any railroad
is built or as the Government itself
did in the case of the Panama Canal.
Prizes to Be Awarded.
The cash prizes of $4,000 were sub
scribed by General Coleman du Pont,
Chairman Of the Board of National
Councillors, and Charles Henry Davis.
President of the National Highways
Association. The competition will be
known as the du Pont-Davis Road Pho
tograph Prize Contest.
The first prize, to be given for the
most striking (good or bad) road pho
tograph, will be a $500 cash award. In
all there will be 1876 cash prizes a.
warded.
There will be 5 second prizes of
500 each, 20 third prizes of $25 each.
40 fourth prizes of $15 each, and 100

alcohol has been produced at Is cents
a gallon. Twenty-Five gallons have
been produced from one ton of saw
dust. This grain alcohol is the best
known substitute for gasoline and Mr..
Weiss estimates that by using only
the waste from saw mills, 500, 100000
gallons can be produced.
Arpin can boast of q saw dust pile
that would make a river of this fluid.
The discovery of Mr.. Weiss opens
up great possibilities for future de-
velopment in this line as there are i'm
mense quantities of decaying saw dust
marking the sites where prosperous
saw mills once stood in Northern Wis
consin.
1t may be that these piles of saw
dust will be the means of bringing
down the price Of gasoline.

EAGLES MAY
HAVEABIG
WRESTLINGBOUT

If Bob Frederick, ED" Stranger
Lewis is not afraid, wrestling match
between this runner up for the cham
pionship, and Fred Beel, the Badger
wonder, may be arranged to take place
during the state convention of Eagles
which will be held here this coming
June.
Efforts have been made in the past
to bring these two noted grapplers to-
gether, but it would seem that Fred
erich is fighting shy of Beel's game.
A match between the two during the
Eagles convention would be a big
drawing card.
1t is understood that the matter
will be taken up with Frederick and
if he can be induced to meet the
Marshfeld man, it is thought there
will be little difficulty in arranging
the bout.

THE REAL CAUSE.

A pet whine is that about Demo cratic hard times" in -aiFo obliyi. ousness of the fact that hard times are fifty per cent enforced by Re publicaniZed institutions that wish 10 dscredit Democracy and al ile undertakings. and are largely in d position to do so. and fifty per cent the net result of the conditions tha, Republicanism has brought into existence. The Republican party has been in almost undisturbcd con trol of the Government for half a century, has shaped the Govern ments policy and directed it's course The Democratic party has nev"r been in power long enough to do moro than merely make a begin ing at rcctification and proper al fustmcnt. Due to fundamental e1- homie errors, periods of depression come on and thesc grow more and moro acute As their approach is felt, the people become alarmed and in resentment and desperation they have on two or three occa- Sions voted the Republican party nominally out of power.
 At the first move on the part of the Democrats to trim the claws of privilege. and bring back to al those who labor what is theirs by right, the interests that stand back of RepublicaEism have put on the screws. They have said in effect to the people of the country, If you will not let us have our way
 with you as nice little subjects should, we will tighten things properly. Bread and butter Is a mighty important item with you and we have fine lead-pipe cinch on the bread and butter source '-Robert s. Double day in San Francisco Star,

This means that the , per cent control the destinies Of the 9S per cent. At their beck and call, should they operate to- gether, prosperity or panic may come upon the 98 per cent. And We have every reason to believe that many a panic has been of polit ical making, or purely selfish fl nancial coup.
 Is it not about time we were get ting serious over the liberties and opportunities of the 9S per cent? There is a great propaganda on now to increase our war equipment, to strengthen our defense 1t is this , per cent who do most oi the talking. It is this 2 per cent who will profit most by either war or rumors of war Will the 2 per cent who own 60 per cent of cur wealth put up 60 per cent of the cost of defense? Will the per cent furnish so per cent of the fighting soldiers and sailors? No, they eX. pect the 9S per cent who own the 10 per cent of the wealth to do the real fighting to protect the wealth of the per cent,-Suc HeSS- ful Farming
