the early spring. There we picked
the spring beauties, the May flower
and violets and 1 fearlessly went into
the marsh after cowslips and the
Shiny blue-f1ag. She named the fiow-
ers and the birds and we walked to-
gether, hand in hand, and the world
and my teacher were beautiful to me.
Two or three years later the memory
of my school days are very clear to
me- The scholarly gentleman, Pro-
fessor James Spencer Kimbal, was
my kindly teacher He introduced
Whites Elementary arithmetic in our
school, and my primary book was
most precious to me. Each and every
example was mastered, and am still
grateful for encouraging words and
particularly one compliment he gave
me In regard to my arithmetic work.
Another winter and Mrs. Kate Randall
is mistress of our schoolroom. We
waded through high and almost i'm
passible drifts of snow, never caring
to be absent, for we loved our lessons,
our songs and our teacher. My school
days were spent in district No. II,
township of Reedsburg, and during
the term taught by one very capa-
BILE teacher was known as No. 8.

Cause of High Cost

The present high cost Of food prod
ucts is caused by scarcity due to I'M
willing service from employees.
Many and various are the causes
given for the present high cost of liy-
ing. Prices are appalling. 1t is hard
for all and almost impossible for the
average laborer to obtain food and
fuel for his family under existing con-
ditions.
The lure of, the movies, billiard halls
and saloons is running the chances
of senenty-five per cent Of our work
ing people having the comforts of
life. It has become nearly imposs1-
BILE to keep help on the farm and when
one is fortunate in securing man,
he insists on going to the city four or
five evenings In the week and re-
naming out the greater part OF the
night. He is unwilling to help do'the
milking if more than six or eight cows
are kept and any time that he sees
fit to think his privileges have been
abridged he will call for his time and
take his departure. The result is
that there is not farm in the coun-
try that is producing as it should, and
could be made to produce nearly dou-
BILE it's present output if good help
could be obtained.
Potatoes at 81 so per bushel is out
rageous, and vegetables and fruits Of
all kinds are selling at prices beyond
the reach Of the average consumer,
and unless the laboring class will
come to realize the necessity Of CIV
ing willing service at reasonable
wages prices must continue to soar.
II the men who are travelling our
stove polish, post cards. or five-cent
strainers to attach to the faucet to
strain the city water, would go into
+he country where they are needed,
and work at cutting wood, they would
male fair wages and have good board.
A. loast thew would have a mans"
lob and earn as much as they can at
+heir present occupations. The city
would then not be so dependent on
"oaI for fuel and women and chill
+ren would not be shivering with
nold for lack Of a fire in the home.

The Winter of 1862

Ia the winter of 1862, my aunt, Mrs.

snow was very deep. They started

dhey had gone few rods up the Nc

Serilous time, with frozen feet and
:sarly exhausted, she arrived at the

"a while Mrs. McGilvra was doing
verything for her comfort, one of
