WILL ON TORN BIT OF PAPER
Maine Hermit, who Had Been Thought
Penniless, Left Thousands to
Nephew.

The will of Charles Purinton, who
died in this city last July, was adj
mitted to probate recently, according
to an Auburn, Me-, correspondent of
the Boston Globe. 1t was written on
torn and ragged piece of paper by
the testator.
1t was as follows:
Auburn, Me-, May s, 1914. The per-
son who finds this give it to Ralph q.
Locke. will all my estate to him, to
pay $100 to all other heirs, and set a
stone for me in the yard. Charles
Purinton. Witnesses, j. p. Hutchin-
son. Samuel Ashwell, l. V. Mckinney"
All of the witnesses to the will are
dead and the will was proved by prov
ing the handwriting of the witnesses.
When Mr.. Purinton died he was sup
posed to be practically pauper,. but
after his death bankbooks showing de-
posits of more than $4,000 were found
in the little old house at Marston's
Corner, in which he had lived for 30
years as a hermit, with hardly the
necessities of life. Mr.. Locke, to
whom he left his estate, is 4 nephew.
Mr.. Locke not long ago went to the
house at MarSton'S Corner and found
an old wallet hidden among the mat
tresses of the bed In the wallet he
found the will, and tied up with it a
worn and battered copy of the New
Testament.

CREAMERY HAS BIG YEAR
Butter Factory's Receipts for 1916
Total Over $4,000 Setting
New Record.

Barron-The year 1916, due to the
great demand for creamery butter,
was the most prosperous year in the
history of the Barron creamery, claim
ed the largest butter manufacturing
plant in the world
1t is said that the record of no other
creamery in this section of the United
States approaches that of the Barron
plant for the year just closing. The
receipts of the concern were over
100000, a figure far above that of
1915. The creamery produced over
100000 pounds of butter, about 100,-
600 pounds more than last year.
These figures give an idea of the adj
vance which Barron count has made
in a dairy way. Ovel $1,000,000 worth
of creamery butter is made each year,
and the cheese factory produce is the
source of another big revenue. Sixty
three cents pound is now being paid
for the butter fat used in cheese man
ufacture Many new factories were
put into operation during the year,
and more will follow if the price of
butter does not advance.
During December the creamery here
obtained 232,519 pounds of cream,
which resulted in 64,0979 pounds of
butter fat. The $50 patrons received
AZ cents per pound.

B0ASTER NEVER GOOD MAN
He Who Really Does Things Does Not
Need to Call Others Atten-
ton to Them.

1t is an old, familiar saying that he
who. excuses himself accuses himself
SO is it with the man who would eXalt
himself by Boosting. He, too, accuses
himself.
To boast is to feel the need of boast
ing, remarks the Irish World. The
strong, energetic, really successful
man is too busy planning new achieve
ments to stop to plume himself on
past ones. Besides, he Is not worrying
about the opinion others hold of him.
He knows that he is doing well and
that he can continue to do well. That
is enough for him. He is quite content
to let his work speak for itself.
The boaster, on the contrary, by the
very fact Of his Boosting, betrays a
curious lack of self-confidence. His
Boosting amounts to a confession that
he is surprised at himself for ever
having done anything worth Boosting
about. The discerning recognize this
and appraise the boaster accordingly.
Also they know that even those
whom his boasting might delude would
be repealed by the egotism which the
Boosting indicates all too plainly. This
means that he would find it hard to
get along with others and would be
that much more handicapped for any
genuine achievement.
If, then, you notice in yourself any
tendencies to boastfulness, consider
their significance. Always remember
that the more you boast the less likely
are you to accomplish things that are
really worth while.

WOULD CHANGE AUTO TAX
Legislators Favor Doing Away, With
Personal Tax and Grading License
Fee BY Horsepower.

Madison-Legislator at the coming
session are inclined to look with favor
on that part of the tax commission re-
port which would change the automo-
bile license fee. The commission adj
vised doing away with the personality
tax, and grading the license fee on
motor cars by horsepower.
Other states on the average have
higher auto license taxes than Wiscon-
sin. The systems used are charges
based directly on the power; charges
by classes according to power; COM
bination of weight and power CLASH
fication; a capacity classification.
In all of the states but seven a per-
sonal property tax is charged in adj
dition to the license fee. In states
where motor truck travel is becoming
heavy, the question of tonnage tax
is under discussion.

ASKS FOR $3,7O0,OOO
BOARD SENDS IN RECOMMENDED
TON FOR TWO YEARS.
Would Spend Sum on New Buildings,
Land Purchase and Improvements.
Prison Farm Is Planned.

Madison-The state board of control
has sent in its recommendations for
the coming two years to the governor.
The board wants $3,770,000 for this
period; S225,O00 for new buildings,
100000 for sprinkler systems in state
buildings and $4,000 for land. This
land is for prison farms, to be estab-
lished at each penal institution.
Recommendation of the board are:
State aid to dependent children
should be increased to $4,000 annual
ly, as children brought up by worthy
mother make better citizens than
those sent to institutions.
The state should acquire 5000 to
5000 acres of land, which could be
cleared and titled by convict labor and
used to produce food for the prison
and other state institutions. The state
already owns large outlying tracts OF
land which could be made over to the
prison and used for this purpose.
The law should be amended so that
counties may be charged with the
same amounts now paid for patients in
the state sanatarium and county sana-
toria.
The opacity of the hospital for the
criminal insane at Waupun should be
increased. At present only male pa
tients are permitted by law, but there
are III other hospitals violent, homici-
dial and suicidal female patients who
are disturbance and should be in the
home for criminal insane
New boilers are recommended for
the Wisconsin Home for Feeble Mind
ed at Chippewa Falls and at the
Northern Hospital for the Insane at
Winnebago.

to The effect that the change iii loco
motion will make upon the physique of
the people; for even the farmers are,
now using the automobile, and the
horse is used for little but draft pur-
poses. VIII not the race become lax
and nerveless that Tolls upon soft cush-
ions, protected in every way from the
aard joltings of the road? More and
more, machinery is brought into serv-
ice, and less and less physical exertion
is required in the carrying on of OPEN

question Is whether il confers an actual
