Etiquette Above Hunger.

A wanderer in the wilderness and
without food, the hapless city sports
man was found at last in an advanced
stage of exhaustion. His rescuers
propped him up against tree trunk
and offered him a cup Of steaming
broth. Feebly he waved them away.
Come, old man, take a little" said
they, again offering the cup.
A spasm, as of distress, passed over
the city mans face.
'You-you are serving on the wrong
SIDE" he corrected in a whisper.
For he had been brought up in a
home where only the very best table
manners prevailed, and he had often
corrected new waitress for the same
fault.-Puck.

Seek Favorite Numbers.

SO many special requests are
received at the office OF the secre-
tary OF state for certain automobile
numbers, Assistant Secretary L. B.
Nagler has issued the announcement
that IN case Of dispute the owner Of
the number the previous year will be

ing IS disclosed a variety of requests
Dased on every conceivable notion that
might occur in the human mind.

In 1905 the first request came from
county Judge A. G. Zimmerman of
Madison for license No. L. After year
or SO he asked for larger number and
John q. Hyland, Madison grocer Sc
cured license No /. Last year Mad
lson attorney threatened suit, claiming
that he had made application for the
number in advance of Mr. Hyland but
the secretary of state thought other
wise. At least 1000 requests are filed
every year for this number.
According to Mr.. Nagler not less
than fifty requests are annually re-
ceived for Nos. 13 and %. One Of the
candidates at the primary for governor
two years ago asked for an auto Ii
cense, but returned it for exchange be-
cause with the several other figures
was that famous figure "13."
There are those who are anxious to
get an auto number plate that contains
some combination of the famous "13."
Thus man came to the Office last
week and wanted a number plate for
Gertrude K. Johnson of Madison, but
insisted that it contain come cOmbina-
ton of "13," for that was lucky num-

Gain in Land Values.

An increase of 27 per cent and
a fraction in the average value per
acre of land in Wisconsin, according
to figures compiled by the state tax
commission, has been made in the last
five years. The increase for the pre-
vious five years was 81 per cent. Prices
in 1915 were 60 per cent higher than
those in 1905.
The average value of land in 1908
was $33.75; in 1910, $43.25, and in 1915,
$55.25.
Though Milwaukee showed the g1eat-
est rate and greatest actual increase,
it is the only county with a large city
to show 3, large gain, unless there were
other causes for land value than the
presence of the city. The counties IN
which dairying is the greatest indus
try show the heaviest gains, both IN
rates and in dollars and cents. Inc
