TELLS OF VIRTUES
OF The SEAMAN'S LAW
ANDREW FURUSETH, PRESIDENT
OF THE SEAMAN'S UNION,
SPEAKS AT THE
COURTHOUSE

Andrew Furuseth, native Of ScaR~.
dinavia, who began life as an humble
sailor on the high seas, and who has.
risen to be the president Of the sea-
mans union, spoke at the courthouse
in BarabOo on Thursday night in de-
tense of the recent law passed by
congress. The law was fathered by
Senator La Toilette and Congressman
Wilson of Pennsylvania. The speak
er was a ready talker and showed by
his address that his experiences had
been worldwide
For long, long time it had been
the custom for sailors of many for
eign countries to be virtually bound
to their ships until the return of the
craft to the home port When a for
eign boat landed in New York a sailor
could not hire to another ship, seek
another job or give any excuse for
leaving his employer. If he attempt
ed to go he was arrested and placea
on board again. Many on foreigz
ships were paid from So to $1S a
month, while those on American boats
were paid twice as much. For tweR-
ty-two years an effort was made to
have congress pass law enabling
seamen to leave their ships afteC
reaching an American port, if they de-
sired. Severe physical punishmenta
on board are also prevented. The new
law affects directly about 10000 sea-
men and indirectly about 35O,0OO He
gave many details explaining the law
and was sent to Wisconsin to speak in
favor of Senator La Toilette in order
to repay him for the valiant service he
rendered in congress for the measure.
The speaker was introduced by
Lieutenant Governor e. p. Dithmar.

BARN FIRE LOSSES
IN. STATE ARE BIG
ONLY ONE OF THOSE LOST PRO.
VIDED WITH LIGHTNING
ROD
Great damage to barns in Wiscon-

Great damage to barns in Wiscon-
sin was wrought by lightni'o ring
the month of Septero Soc1ee1g to
reports reco' .torlca1ece Fire Mar
shall M -, NY hss. A total Of eighty
barn losses were reported for the
month, with losses aggregating S117,-
965. Not all of these we're destroyed
by lightning, but fffty-eight losses
occurred from this cause.
Ordinarily danger from lightning is
considered rather remote after the
three summer months are past, but
the heat prevailing during the early
half Of the month this year led to
many losses. It is also interesting to
note that of these f1fty-eight losses
reported, only one occurred in prop
erty that was rodded
A total of 240 fires were reported
This is less than one-haIf the losses
reported for August, when the total
reached the unusually high figure of
$995,190. September losses in 1915
were 1857, 1850.
During the month just past there
were twenty fires from threshing en-
gines, entailing a loss of $27615, and
twenty match fires, with a loss of
$9,430 Fires Of unknown origin were
thirty-one in number and the losses
$141,345.

CATCHING THEM ON
LAKE WISCONSIN

A conservation warden Of Baraboo
caught G. H. Goodlad and Fred S.
Soehle of Madison in the act of hunt
ing with a boat in open water on Lake
Wisconsin. The men promised to ap-
pear before Justice Pruyn in Lodi, but
they failed to come, however, and the
judge sent Deputy Sheriff Ebert of
the village after them. They returned
with the officer, and the judge let
them off with fine of $25 and costs
of $19.04, making total of $4404,
which they paid share and share alike.
Two Portage men were also nabbed
at the lake for hunting illegally. They
paid fines at Portage.

FARMERS PATRIOTIC
ALONG THE HIGHWAY

A card received from Guy 0. Glazisr,
Woodbine, Iowa, October II, says they
are following the Lincoln highway ia
their automobile journey from Bara-
boo to San Diego. The family found
the roads very good except for some
mud in northern Illinois. The farm
ers are very patriotic along the Lin
eoln highway, placing red, white and
blue colors on silos, barn doors, NAH
boxes and windmills.

Game Far Away

The country@has become so thickly
settled that it is necessary to go 15e
miles up the Tongue river to find good
hunting. The claims within 100 miles
of Miles City have all been taken.
Mr.. Cowles left on October 5, and
at that time the snow was ankle deep
at Sheridan, north of Miles City. There
was skiff Of snow where his son re-
sides. Mr. Cowles went direct to Be
lott, where his daughter lives, and will
spend most of the winter there, re-
turning to the west in the spring.
His son owns ranch of more thar
tousand acres, a portion of which il
irrigated.
While here he is a guest of his
brother, Lewis Cowles, and sister
Mrs. M. Bentley.

.SUPERSTITIONS ARE
DISCUSSED AT CLUB
MEETING BY MEMBERS
Are you supers ,itious?

Are you supers itiOus?
Would you begin a journey on f'rl-
day?
Can rheumatism be prevented by
any charm?
Should crops be planted at certain
phases Of the moon?
Would you sit down at table
where there are thirteen persons?
When you see a pin on the walk
do you think it brings good luck to
pick it up?
Does it make any difference how a
horse shoe is nailed over a door or
whether it is placed there at all?
These and many others were men
toned at the regular meeting Of the
Fortnightly Literary club on Monday
evening at the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
H. e. Cole.
In the past the race believed much
more in superstitions and had the
wrong ideas of things than in tho
present. Early in our civilization it
was thought that many of the scourg-
es and plaques were sent at punish
ments, but in time it was found that
sanitation and rules Of health pre-
vented great loss Of life. It was once
thought that by lying on ones back
along q boundary line on the twenti-
eth day Of the moon, and by extend
ing ones hands over the head that
the warts would disappear if rubbed
with whatever the hands touched. 1t
was also thought that when a shoot
ing star was seen that ones cOrns
would disappear if a little vinegar
was poured on the hinge Of door.
1t was also thought that comets had
much to do with the birth and death
Of kings and other notables. 1t was
believed that the space above the
earth was a great dome with the
stars and other bodies hanging from
the various sections, fitted together
like the parts of an onion. The earth
was thought to be fat, surrounded
with a armament, the sun coming
through a door in the east in the
morning and departing through a door
in the west at night While these were
not exactly superstitions, the peonlea
were wrong in their ideas much the
same as in other things that to those
of this day seem ridiculous.
At the present time there are plen-
ty of rhymes and lines about things
which are not recognized by science.
Listen to these:
Shear your sheep in May,
And shear them all away.
Clear moon,
Frost soon.
Why do maidens hesitate
To take the last piece from the plate?
Happy the bride the sun shines on,
Blessed the grave the rain rains on.
The world is full of such ideas, and
members of the club generally con-
ceded there was no truth in them. Pa
pers were presented during the ev-
ening by Mrs. N. M. Bliss, Mrs. S. A.
Pelton, William Little, S. H. Hood
and H. E. Cole.
The next meeting of the club will
be held at the home of DR.. and Mrs.
G. w. Snyder.

The Crops

The land must be irrigated in order
to produce the best results. In 1915
wheat on his sons ranch yielded 5s
bushels to the acre and oats 80 busk-
els. This year wheat was As and oats
80. This season the son was not able
to obtain water at the right time ON
account of improvements being made
by the irrigating company Usually
there is plenty of rain in the spring,
but this year it failed to fall
Those who indulge in dry farming
have had a poor season. Mr.. Cowles
says some of them will have difficulty
in reaching next summer.

Spends 7 Oo
Years on @
Ranc6In West

S. E. CowIes has arrived in Baraboe
after spending two years with his son
at Miles City, Montana. Mr.. Cowles
is IS years old, but to see him riding
about the ranch on horseback, one
would never think he was more than
fifty or sixty. In searching for cattle,
at times he rode long distances, and
said that he enjoyed it immensely
He is able to go about his daily duties
the same as anyone, and when he de-
sires to go from Wisconsin to Mon
tana, or Montana to Wisconsin, he
sets out the same as any traveller
alone, and easily makes the journey.

Something About Miles City

Miles City has a population Of about
5000, being a little larger than Bara-
boo. Two trunk lines visit the city,
which is one of the largest horse cen
ters in the west. At a recent sale
there were 5000 horses in the yards,
and many of them went to foreign
countries. An artillery animal brought
from $40 to $3.50
Miles City was named for a man
by the name of Miles who still resides
there. He is one of the wealthiest
men in the community.
