OPERATIONS SHOULD
NOT Be DELAYED

The best medical authorities advo-
cate that surgical operations should be
performed as early as possible in most
cases. Delays are dangerous as the
trouble is. liable sto become aggravated
and the patient weaker. In the case
of Mrs. Klumpp of North Freedom
she decided to undergo an operation
some years ago and at the last NOM
ent changed her mind. The physician
was ready and had the work been done
then, she probably would not have pas
sed away ga she did, The delay of sev-
eral years resulted in more acute con-
dition and when North Freedom doc
tor was called q at the time of the last
attack she was in a critical condition.
He telephoned the Baraboo hospital
about midnight and when she was
brought to 'Baraboo she was not able
to converse Her relati yes were told of
the critical state of affairs and after
consultation it was decided to give the
patient relief if possible. A consider
able portion of the intestine was found
to be in a gangrene state 30 there was
practically no hope of saving her life.
Mrs. Klumpp lived alone and it is not
known how long she suffered. She was
able to be about on Sunday but the
changescame 20 quick that death re-
suited. In many cases where there is
apparent trouble with the human sys-
tenn, medical advice should be sought
and what is thought to be thex xbest
steps to be taken, should be-followed.

DISCUSSES JUDGES
JUR|ES AND The
LAWYERSAT CLUB

Judge James O'Neill of Neillsville,
who is presiding at the present term of
the circuit court, gave some interesting
leaves from his experience at the regu-
lar meeting of the Fortnjghtly Liter
ary club on Thursday evening. The
meeting was held in the parlors of the
Presbyterian church that many friends
of the members could be present to hear
the address.
The speaker told of his early desire to
become alawyer, how he would slip away
from his school duties in order to attend
the sessions of the supreme court. In
his long experience he has found that
judges are entirely human, that laws
are expansive and that society progress
ses. In New York number of years
ago the court decided that q law
regulating the hours of labor of women
could not be enforced; the same court a
number of years later reversed the op-

Wild Oats
Bounfiful
In Dakota

James House writes from Glover,
North Dakota, as follows:
We have had q very severe winter,
here; cold and blizzards making the
roads impossible much of the time,
The farmers of this state raised one
of the largest crops of small grain in
their history last season. The corn
crop was very poor as very little ma
tured but it's loss was not felt as it
would be in one of the states of the
corn belt, where it is raised as q cash
crop. Corn is raised here entirely as
a feed crop, none being shipped out, and
it has been found to be one of the best
crops for cleaning the land of foul
weeds being equal to summer fallow in
that respect, with the added advsnt age
of good feed crop which pays we'll
for the extra labor.
The worst foul weed the farmers here
have to contend withIis wild oats. l
armed for several years in Sauk coun
y but I never saw any there if | may
except the"wild oats" that most m en-
are credited with sowing at some per-
iod of their youth. l havenoticed here
in several instances where farmers
have sowed large field ofsswheat, and
by the time it should head The oats had
the crop so choked they would have to
cut it for hay and plow the land at
once to try and exterminate the pest.
We all enjoy the News and would like
it even better if there was a regular

of Delton.

I have been trying this plan for

This wonderful organization of our

the bar, the jury and the judges, is the

The Turies

Judge o. Neill believes in the jury
system. Although it is hard to obtain
juries to bring in a conviction in
certain cases in certain Sec
tions, he would not abandon the
jury system. In large per cent of case
the verdict is right. Besides the work
of the jury, the members become broad
er by obtaining ii broader view of life.
IN that way are made better citizens.

TEL.LSOF WARt
SCENES IN |
FRANCE .

Something of the horrors of the war
in Europe was related by B. j. johnson
at meeting of the Sauk County ":His-
torical society at the courthouse on
Friday evening. Mr.. johnson has
spent five years in France and has
been 1here nearly all the time since
the war began. He represented
farm implement manufacturing firm
and had every opportunity of getting in
formation at first hand.
When the war came on he was in
Spain and soon after hurried TO Paris.
Instead of ten hours it required forty
eight hours to make the journey. When
he reached the capital he found the
the people. much excited and the city
full of soldiers. Soon came the Bel
gian refugees and the German army
drawing near. WheT ,he Teuton troops
were about twelve miles from Paris he
decided to leave and when he went to
the station he found there Iwere 5000
waiting to take the train. Some had
been in line for two days and he gave
up that means of getting away. With
an automobile he was able to get TO
southern France.

The Lawyers

He said lawyer ought to be man
of the highest character. A good repu-
tation is like a bank account to a prac-
ticing attorney. 1t will steadily br ing
him friends and business. He spoke of
the bad men in the profession and of
the efforts being made to weed them
out. The trouble with some young law
yers is the lack of high ideals, but the
legal profession is full of great and
good men.
''The speaker added that he could
point out many lawyers of excellent abil-
ty and learning, of high character and
perfect iStsgrity, who would scorn to
do mean thing, and who are render
ing service of the highest value to soci-
ETY.. Such men are like beacon lights set
en- hill.
An attorney of large practice said to
me the other day that of the disputes
which were brought into lawyers Of
fices, ninety percent were there settled
and never brought into court. My judg-
ment 10 the percentage of settlement is
much larger. The dear people get into
trouble fast enough. Lawyers do not
need to incite litigation. Selfshness and
greed and i'll temper and hot blood are
the causes of disputes which disturb
the peace of society. The legal profes
sion performs necessary and commen-
dable duty, in calming angry passions,
in Investigating complaints of alleged
wrongs and composing qusrrels which
are constantly arising.
In conclusion the Judge said in part:
''As | speak the names of illustrious
members of the bar come to my mind.
The profession may boast OF Webster
and Clay and Lincoln and Evarts, and
to come down to our own times of such
men as Elihu Root and Joseph Choate,
Matthew FL. Carpenter and in our own
state William F. Villas and John c.
Spooner. And to take some chances as
TO propriety feel like mentioning some
great lawyers in our own state still in
practice. whose ability and character
ands services excite my admiration.
Such men as Samuel D. Hastings of
Green Bay, General Frederick C. Wink

Madison, B. R. aGoggins of Grand Ra-
pids, Glare B. Bid of Wausau and L.

have spoken of the useful work per-
formed by attorneys in the settlement
of disputes. It is coming now to be re-
cognized as permissible for trial judges
when cases are called to take hand in
effecting settlements. At the meeting
of the Board of Circuit judges in De-
cember there was an admirable address
by Judge Grimm on the subject of con-
ciliation. 1t was stated by the Presi-
dent of the Board that Judge Grimm
had been more successful in settling ca
ses on the eve of trial than any other
judge in the state. quote the follow
ing from his paper:
Is there no way in which nearer
approach to the accomplishment of
the higher ideal of courts, that of
ending strife and promoting peace
may be attained? Surely there is;

Restaurant prices have not changed,

occasion several people were killed, on
another the explosives dropped in the
the woods and o OCCASIONALLY in more
central sections of the city. The loss
of property and life in all the raids has
noe been great.
The speaker said that one of the
worst things with which the soldiers
had to contend, was the rats in the
trenches The pests run over the food,
come to the soldiers while eating and
eat dead soldiers between the lines. The
trenches are often not mapy ro1s apart
and when soldier is killed he often
lays for days before burial. These
rats often attack for food
After a battle it is often necessary
to bury great many soldiers in one
trench. He said that those who were
helplessly wounded were placed in the
grave with the dead and covered over.

through the audience which filled the
courtroom.

Slaughter Appalling

Mr.. johnson said the slaughter was
appalling. Many of the bridges in that
country have protection at the side
several feet high, much the same as
the Lyons bridge in Baraboo. In a
fierce engagement the dead will fill
the bridge full and the soldiers then
roll off into the water when killed.

field after the Marne conflict and saw
the burned villages and other evidences
of destruction.

why The Germans Reiterated

In conversation with some of the SOL
diers he asked why the Germans re-
treated when they were so near Paris.
He said the French collected great
array OF cavalry and that the Germans
retreated. For three days the French
soldiers hurried after them and wer
forced to halt for q short rest. When
ready to move on they found the Ger

been ever since. The troops have dug
