Montague Glass, the creator of Pot

Al Ringing theatre in kBaraboo short

clothing manufacturer on the east

When we read in the newspapers tina
the American farm crops of 1915 were
worth nearly $40, 600, 600, 600 and that
the governments of Europe are borrow
ing billions to carry on the war, we have
small idea of what those sums mean in
terms of gold, which is the standard Of
value. In vault in the United States
subtreasury in New York there is a pile
of gold bars six feet high, ak feet
wide, and eleven feet long about the
size of three cords of wood. It
worth more than $lOO, 900, 900 which is
only tenth of billion.
The pile accumulated during the clos
ing months of 1915, and is composed
wholly of British soverigns, melted down.
E. A. Hall of Baraboo was in Maine
when the gold passed through that state
on special trains. He was superintend-
ing the building of creamery at the
time and says the trains passed just
the other side of the railway fence. The
gold had crossed the ocean to a Cana
dian port and was then hurried to New
York in express Gears.
Mrs. E. T. Hopkins writes from Kis-
simmee, Florida:
Florida is outdoing herself this winter
ter in giving us plenty of hot weather.
A friend of ours has three autos and
we come in for lots of rides. We ladies

90 warm even so.
Many are coming here to recuperate
from grip and are gaining very fast. "

The brain is small compact OBJ

1t is given to man to help distinguish

several yards short of its noble mis-

The brain is cleveriy concealed

so thoroughly hidden that its exist
ence is not suspected even by the i'm

would rather sink out of sight IN Q

A sincere attempt has been made

for Senator John w. Weeks of Massa

he is likely to accept. Vermont Re

The election of committee from

State Grange is an indication that both
organizations are alive to the import
ance of legislation affecting the in
terests of the farm. 1t is not sufficient
that Vermont farmers take an interest
in their own states Legislative pro

states are doing and should cooperate
as far as possible to secure uniform
treatment for their products wherever
they NAV be marketed.
