Gives Public Park to Fennimore.

Through the recent death of VIM.
Marsden the village of Fennimore is
the recipient of magnificent legacy.
Mr. Marsden's estate is valued approx
imately at $780,, ZOO, which, after de-
Quoting the special requests made to
schools and churches, leaves in excess
Of $50, 900 for park and playground pur-
poses for the village at Fennimore-a
truly wonderful bequest. One half, or
$40, 600, is for the purchase and equip
ment of the same, and the interest on
the other half is for the maintenance
of the park.
The will does not stipulate the size
of the park to be purchased, nor where
it is to be located, only that it should
be close to the village Of Fennimore.
1t further stipulates that the park shall
always be free to the public.
The special requests to his old home,
church, school and cemetery typify the
love Marsden had for his old home
community. The generous sums be-
queathed to the cause of education in
the way of special prizes for scholar
ship in the Fennimore high school, and
fund to enable representative of
said school to take four years course
at the University of Wisconsin, speak
eloquently of the far-sighted philan-
thropy and truly wonderful forethought
of the giver, whose chief aim seems to
have been to make it possible to make
better young men and women out of
our rising generation.

Fulton Field Day.

The second annual community rally
and picnic given in the Frank Sayre
grove at Fulton Friday was success
from every point of view. About three
hundred were in attendance to partici-
pate in the athletics and to enjoy the
day of sports. L. A. Markham, county
Y. M. G. A. superintendent, was there
to superintend the sports. The first
attraction in the morning was ball
game between the single men and the
married men. The game was very
close throughout and resulted in score
of 6 to in favor of the single men,.
The sensation of the game was the
home run of Rev. Schoenfeld, at which
time he batted the ball the entire length
Of the field and over the fence.
The ball game between Milton and
Fulton resulted in score of to / in
favor of Milton.
Miss Katherine McManus of James
vile, won the so yard dash for girls and
Baxter Sayre won the so yard dash for
boys.
The tug-of-war between picked six
of E1gerton and an equal number from
Fulton resulted in victory for the
Fulton team. H. M. Raymond, l. w.
Spike, J. B. Shaw, J. Marsden, Ogden
and D. C. Gle formed the Edgerton
team, and j. Sayre, A. Wallin, Will
Lee, HI. Pease, Irwin Gardiner and c..
Jessup composed the Fulton team.
There was considerable enthusiasm on
the part of the rooters for the rival
teams and it was with great difficulty
that the Fulton team won.
Francis Bardeen and Oliver Murwin
won the three-legged race for boys

there for three years until her marri-
age to Edward Hyland on Dec. Fl, 1866.
Since that time she has lived continu-
ously in Wisconsin, most of the time in
Dane county.
At the age of Is years, while living
in Vermont, she affiliated with the
Episcopal church. For many years
Mrs. Hyland has been a member of the
w. C. T. u. and the O. E. S., of which
she was worthy matron at one time.

of his captains in person; showing
them not only what they were to do
firstly, but secondly, and thirdly, in
stilling into them another OF his pre-
cepte: Never attack blindly, but al
ways have a definite purpose in view
Then he launched his attack, and in
three hours took Carency and broke
clean through the German front. The
Moroccans had no one in front of
them; the way was clear.
But If Petain had surprised the
Germans. he had also surprised the
French. D'UIrbal answered his call for
reserves by saying he was mistaken;
it was impossible that he could have
broken through in so shGrt a period.
Incidentally the reserves had been
placed too far in tht rear and could
not be brought up In time. So Carency,
instead of being a turning point in
the war. was only brilliant local VIC
tory. Nevertheless. the whole French
army was electrified. a hole had been
made and 1t could be done again
And II some one had hunglcd, II was
not Petain. lie was given the com
mand of an army.

USE FERNs AS FOOD

SUM
The common fern or brake that
grows IN the puget sound country Is
good To eat, according to University
of Washington Japanese students
Several Japanese families have been
gathering the stems of the plant on
the campus recently They are boil
ed and eaten like 'fulSi,' the Nippon
ese rhubarb. or the American aspara-
gus.
TO take out the acid taste of the
fern the stems are boiled in water, to
which ashes are added when nearly
cooked the water and ashes are pour
ed off Clean boiling water Is then
poured on and the cooking is complet-
ed.
When done the dish is called war
abb" and is considered a great deli
cacy. Warabi may be eaten at once.
or II may be dried and stored away for
winter use. When mixed with oysters
1t is called "sho-yu," which means
oyster sauce. The food can be mixed
with most meats. shellfish and veg
etahles.
History shows that the Puget sound
Indians made bread of the fern root
when the first white men came to the
country. They pounded the roots to a.
pulp and then baked the mass.
Professor Rigg of the botany de-
partment of the University of Wash
ington says that the fern contain
more starch than The potato. White
people do not eat ferns beoaIse they
are too fibrous.

The United States has not sought the
duty which has been forced upon it
of pursuing bandits who under funda-
mental principles of municipal and
international law, ought to be pursued
and arrested and punished by Mexican
authorities. Whenever Mexico will as
sumo and effectively exercise that re-
sponsibility the United States. as it
has many times before publicly de-
clared, will be glad to have this OBJ
legation fulfilled by the de facto gov
eminent of Mexico. If, on the con-
trary, the de facto government Is
pleased to ignore this obligation and
to believe that in case of a refusal TO
retire these troops, there is no further
use than to defend its territory by an
appeal to arms the government of the
United States would surely be lack
ing in sincerity and friendship if it
did not freely and frankly impress up
on the de facto government that the
execution of this threat will lead TO
the gravest consequences While this
government would deeply regret such
IA result, it cannot recede from its set
tied determination to maintain its na-'
tional rights and to perform its full
duty in preventing further invasion Of
the territory of the United States and
in removing the peril which Amsri-
cans along the international boundary
have borne so long with patience and

These are effective provisions
against anything like pork" In the
distribution. There has been some
cutlery IN the east against the whole
proposition ms merely new form OF
tho pork barrel.' As the east is
already we'll provided with gooo

good share of the income tax, some
OF its congressman object to helpina
the west and tho south.
But federal aid for good roads is "A
very different proposition from the
time honored pork barrel" II the
rivers and harbors bill, for example,
proposed to expcnd 100000 to deepen
skunk creek, on condition that the
district in which II wig situated gave

that Podunk must put up n like sun,

that the people Of Podunk would
imagine that they could get along

many years.
II the Bankhead iill, or something
like II, becomes a law, 1t will stlmu-
late every state to n vigorous good

the people of New Mexico, for exam
pie, would be materially lightened,
because New Mexico must have good

OUR TERMINATION.

When the philosophy Of the TWEEN.
tieth century shall be written, one
OF the chief things to be discussed
must be the process by which we
have, as mass come TO regard feel
ing as superior TO thought. Further
more, the relation OF the process TO
the emancipation OF woman" and
It's oorolarles--h steady weakening Of
the moral and religious sense, grow
ing disrespect for authority, and up
start iconoclasm In general--cannot
be overlooked.
But being u philosopher, the writer
Of that future work In which this
generation shall be pltilessly criticized
Will not place the greater weight of
blame upon the shoulders of the fem
lnine contingent. Rather, the phil.
osophcr VIII show that, had not the
generality OF mon been so deeply en-
crossed in what is perhaps the least
ennobling form OF human activity
mere money etting--the conduct OF
the women might have been less bump
tious. Also the women are become
generally better educated than the
men. In every high school gradual
ing class. the percentage OF girls Is
far higher than the boys In number
end, as rule, tho scholarship of
the girls Is higher than that of the
boys.
Wherever there Is superior educa.
ton as n rule. there we shall find the
dominating influence, Women are
more emotional than men, and they
have been applying their emotiona,
standards to everything under the
sun during the past few years. The
result seems to be n tendency among
he men OF America to adopt the
characteristic outlook of the women
This tendency doubtless has been
checked IN Europe by the war, but
IN America the war In Europe has
tended to intensity our sentimental
ity.
II has been contended often that
war Is necessary to cure people Of
habits of luxury. of over-confidence.
Of self satisfaction. Of centering their
thoughts on moneygetting and on the
softer side Of life. II may he, before
u Is over that we shall have n train
ing school in Mexico where q much
needed hardening process can be had
by some hundreds OF thousands of
American young men who otherwise
would grow up soft of fiber mentally,
morally
War is to be deplored. but there
are worse things. and one of those
worse things is for the men of any
country to become flabby.

Weather of the Soul
By Bliss Carman

THERE is world of being
We range from pole to pole,
Through seasons Of the spirit
And weather of the soul
1t has its newborn Aprils,
With gladness in the air,
Its golden unes Of rapture,
Its winters Of despair.
And in its tranquil autumns
We halt to re-entOrce
Our tattered scarlet pennons
With valor and resource.
From undiscovered regions
Only the angels know,
Great winds Of aspiration
Perpetually blow
Ill.,
To free the sap of impulse
From torpor of dstrust,
And into flowers of joyance ~
Quicken the sentient dust
From nowhere of sudden
Loom sudden clouds of fault,
With thunders of oppression
And lightnings of revolt
With hush of apprehension
And quaking of the heart
There breed the storms of anger
And floods of sorrow start
And there shall fall---how gently
To make them fertile yet,
The rain of absolution
On acres of regret.
Till SHOWS of mercy cover
The dream that shall come true,
When time makes all things wondrous
And life makes all things new.
