BURGLARS "DO BUSINESS
IN FENNIMORE LAST WEEK
Bloodhound Proves Ineffective in Fol-
lowing Up "TrailS."

Some persons unknown obtained
entrance through the cellar to the
Adolph Rubin soft drink parlor at Fen
nimore early last Tuesday morning,
and tapping the till, took between $35
and $40 Of coin Of the realm. Some
plum sauce was taken also, the thief
or thieves evidently having a weakness
for this very delectable fruit Mr.. Ru-
bin arranged himself for the blood
hound from Richland Center which is
owned by man named Sharp. The
hound and it's master came in due
course of time and, as usual, ran
around town leading the way to sew
eral residences. Iii said that he
went to one home where his pres
ence caused tears on the part of the
mother of a certain young man. The
dog was finally taken off the scent in
Fennimore and call coming from the
county farm that suspicious looking
character had passed the place during
the day, the party came to Lancaster.
The trail of this man was picked up
there and carried to the Potosi depot
where it was lost. 1t was concluded
that his houndship had really been fol-
lowing the trail of a man released
from Jail that morning. 1t has been
freely expressed by many people that
the whole matter of using blood
hound is fraud. They point out that
no one has ever been caught here, re-
Gently at least, by means of a dog,
and when, as happened in three differ
ent cases-at Montfort, Fennimore and
Cassville, namely-the trail leads to
the house of a citizen, no one is will
ing to make an arrest on the evidence
the dogs nose offers. Instead, it is
said that the universal expression is
"it couldn't be him" These doubling
Thomases ask these questions, eff the
dog is to be depended upon why not
investigate the tips he furnishes? If
he is not reliable, why use him at all?'

ONE OF THE REASONS.

Letter in Sank County Democrat.)
Dear Sir-Every week I read your
paper when it comes. 1 like it be-
cause it tells the things I want to
know 1 see by the paper that you
must be public-spirited, SO l think
will suggest something the town ought
to have. Maybe if you print it in your
paper they will see that it is needed.
Then someone will start it.
It's like this, Mr.. Editor. [ and
many other women go to town almost
every week. Mostly we go on Satur-
day. When we go we must take ali
the little folks along because there
is no one to say here with them
When we go to town we must take
them everywhere we go. 1t is hard
to buy that way. Maybe l want a
skirt. I take my two boys and my
girl with me, and carry my baby.
Some clerk, maybe, has to hold my
baby while I try to find what [ want.
Often l have to go to two or three
places. The children are in the way,
and my baby cries sometimes. So |
think [ won't bother and [ go home
and use my mail order catalogue. If
l go to a furniture store it is the same
and that way, too, in most of the gro
Gerry stores. There is no place where
can leave my children for an hour
while 1 get everything done.
So, at night, when the children are
in bed, I get out my order catalogue
and send for sugar because I can get
it cheaper. Then | send for what
else 1 can get easier and cheaper and
order a skirt and a bed and some 9TH
er things would get in town if 1
could buy them easy.
In the big cities they make things
easy. In every big store there is a
place to leave our children to play and
amuse themselves, so the women go to
buy. But in the smaller cities, like
Baraboo, there is no place for all the
stores together.
Now, Mr.. Editor, why is that?
Respectfully,
MRS. --

can life that has swept away so many
of the moorings of the home and fam
lily the attic was about all that was
left to tie to. Not everybody can have
ancestors, portraits, family skeletons
and the other things that go with line
age, but everybody can have an attic
if they will make a stand for it and not
allow mere style in houses to de-
prive them of their rights. An attic
is the nearest substitute for a family
tree that has been discovered. 1t
takes only few generations to furnish
it with mementoes that constitute a
complete genealogical history of the
occupants of the house. And these are
the things-like portraits and skele-
tons-that go to preserve family pride.
No man can go into the attic and
see the first copper-toed boots he
wore as boy hanging to the rafters
without feeling some sort of a stir
within him. He cannot see the re-
mains of his grandmother's hoopskirts
without feeling somehow there is a
connecting link between his and the
history of his country. AS for the
padded silk brocaded vest his grand
father wore on his wedding day, it
is patent of responsibility equal to
a suit of armor- besides looking a
good deal like one.

NO POETRY!

(DOdgeville Sun-Republic.)
The Sun-Republic hereby tenders
its most sincere thanks to all its
friends who have sent in poetry to be
published, and we take this opportun-
ity to announce that this paper will
not publish contributed poetry when
it can possibly be avoided. For the
purpose of discouraging offers of such
contributions, a price of ten cents a
line will be charged; for all obituary
poetry % cents a line.
An experience Of twenty-five years
in the newspaper business has taught
the publisher Of the Sun-Republic
that some such plan as this is neces-
sary to save the paper from making
itself a laughingstOck by publishing
the writings of people who are soft
on this particular subject. When such
people get started there is no stopping
them, and just one of them in a COM
munity can make an editors life mis-

CORN TWO FEET HIGH IN
SOME BOTTOM FIELDS
Warm Weather Has EXiIiarating Ell
feet on All Crops.

Knee high by the Fourth Of July"
looked like an impOssibility two
weeks ago when the wet spell was
still hanging on. Warmer weather
for the last seven days has caused ire
mendous growth in corn which in
many cases was above the time hon
ored height last Saturday, July L. 1t
must not be inferred that corn is in
general at this point Of development,
although in nearly all cases it shows
healthy stand. On the ridges es-
pecially where planting was late, the
corn is barely four inches on the aver
age. On the hill sides and bottoms
it shows up much better and on Sat-
urday the Herald man saw corn that
was easily two feet. That was in the
Platte river bottom, and in we'll Guilt
waited fields. Corn needs little rain
right now as the top soil is packed
from the hardrainsof last month and
baked from the sun Of the past few
days
Prospects are much brighter how
ever this season than they were at the
same time last summer. Grasses are
in good shape, alsike, clover and tim
othy being cut in many places. The
hay crop will be bumper, just as it
was last year.
Small grain such as barley and oats
are heading out nicely and show pro-
fuse growth. Oats brought a top price
last winter and there were lost of
them. This year the indications are
as good or better.

RAILWAY COMMISSION
REVIEWS w. & l. RY. DATA
Representative of Commission Will Go
Over Proposed Route July and 6.

On June 29th and Both, the Railroad
Commission sitting at Madison. heard
petitions and examined data and en-
cheering work of the Wisconsin and
Illinois Railroad company.
Representing the company were:
I. Mcdonald and @. T. Dearborn, Chief
Engineer, Of Lancaster, and A. r..
BUrkdoIl of Chicago. A. E. Wetzel
Of Indianapolis, Indiana, counsel for
the Railway and Equipment company
Of Chicago, was also present. After

9Th and 9Th, Mr.. Larson, chief engin-
eer for the Railroad Commission, will
go over the proposed route between
Lancaster and Mount Hope making
orders in regard to highway cross
ings as may be deemed necessary.
Following Mr.. Larson's report the
commission will authorize the issue
of the mortgage bonds. This will
probably occur the latter part Of this
week
Final action by the boards of the five
towns involved in regard to the aid
voted, will take place this week. The

lutions, one of them to issue the bonds

WHY ADVERTISING is SOLO,
CRichland Republican,

(Richland Republican,
Every line in newspaper costs the
publisher something. If it is for the
benefit of the individual it should be
paid for. If the grocer were asked
to contribute groceries to one abund-
antly able to pay for them, he would
refuse. The publisher of a newspaper
must pay for free advertising if the
beneficiary does not, and yet it is one
of the hardest things to be learned by
many, that a newspaper has space in
its columns to rent, and must rent
them to live. To give away or rent for
anything less than living rates is as
fatal to a newspaper as for landlord
to furnish rent free.

GOLDEN DUST.
milwaukee JOurnaI.)

milwaukee JOurna1.)
The cement mills Of the country have
been growing with enormous moment
um In their rapid pace, it was to be
expected that some of the smaller OPP
portunities for profits would be over
looked It has just been discovered
that the dust from these mills col
lected and conserved, can be made to
contribute at least One-fOurth Of the
potash supply required by the United
States.
Cement was killing the orange
groves of California. It settled on the
leaves and prevented their getting the
nutrients of the air. Confronted with
this, the cement makers began to buy
up surrounding orange groves at the
rate of $1,000 an acre. But this proved
an expensive remedy, so an effort was
made to collect the dust before it even
escaped to clog the leaves of orange
trees. When this dust was examined,
it was found rich in potash. A process
of obtaining the potash was devised
and it is expected that this will be rap
idly installed with great profit in many
cement mills.
For decades the county has bought
potash. But this demand did not
arouse the efforts of the cement MAX
ers to utilize their by-product. Not I'M
til the complaints of orange growers
drove them to action did they really
study their dust problem.
America is full of thousands of such
unknown and untouched sources of
profit Countless wastes remain to be
sought out and utilized for some profit
able purpose. This is the real essence
OF the conservation problem eliminat-
ing waste wherever it exists, elimin-
ating waste in time, materials and
energy in every field. The necessity
of thrift confronts America in order
that it may be prepared for any exig-
ency after the war.
