High School Orchestra

Before vast throng of people which
illed every available seat in the build
ing the Watertown High school build
ing was formally dedicated on the eve
ming of Washington's birthday. the
preceding program furnishing the We
hicle for most pleasant evening.
Mayor Charles Mulberger presided
at the meeting and delivered the ad-
dress of welcome to the citizens and
visitors and complimented the board
OF education on its success in handling
the task of building the school which
was credit to the city and an educa-
tional monument Of which the people
could be proud
Hon. William +. Voss president of
the board of education spoke for the
board and the city fathers and for
mally turned the building over to the
people to whom he said it belonged.
An interesting address followed by
State Superintendent of Schools c. p.
Carey of Madison who declared that
according to the needs and size of the
city Watertown has a high school
second to none in Wisconsin.
THE High School and the Commun-
ity," was the subject of the address by
Professor H. c.. Miller of the Univer-
5ity of Wisconsin, who dwelt at some
length on the rich returns which a
high school of this character would
reflect upon the people
Pleasing numbers on the program
were those of the High School orches-
ira and boys and girls choruses. A
lively Watertown high school march
composed by ]. w. Keck left a lasting
impression when rendered by the high
school orchestra, closing the excer-
cises for the evening.

AN EXCELLENT CANDIDATE
FOR COUNTY JUDGE

In the person Of Judge William H
Woodard the voters of Dodge county
have an excellent candidate to sue
ceed himself as county Judge of Dodge
county and his candidacy is growing
in popularity every day. He is now
asking for the usual endorsement and
while he has been on the bench only
five months he has shown his capabil-
ity in the trial of civil and probate
cases which have come before his
court
Judge Woodards candidacy is spon-
sored by many of the leading attor-
neys of the Dodge county bar and hun
dreds of citizens who see in him can
didate well qualified for the honorable
and important position to which he
aspires and it speaks well for him
that he is being supported for the po-
sition by men of all parties and in all
walks of life in the sections of the
county in which he is best known,
his home city and adjacent country.
In the trial of civil cases he has
handled them with accuracy and dis
patch having behind him record of
In the trial of civil cases he has
twenty years in the practice Of the
law There is not a lawyer before
his court but will say that he is eff
cient and capable and therefore there
seems no valid reason why he should
not be retained upon the bench.
AS the Juneau Independent aptly
puts it: County Judge William H.
Woodland of Watertown this week an
nOunces his candidacy for election to
the office of county judge. The judge
is native Of the county, his father
being one of the early settlers, and he
has resided here all his life 1t is but
simple justice to state that during his
term of office, Judge Woodard has
given most excellent satisfaction and
has the esteem and confidence of
everyone who has had business In his
court or knows of the important work
he has performed"
1t is the duty of every voter to main
tain the high quality of the judiciary
and this is best done by drawing upon
men who are known to be capable and
efficient with a keen sense of justice
and right.

TIME At HAND
TO SPRAY TREES
CITY OWNS OUTFIT WHICH WILL
BE PUT TO USE SOON AS
WEATHER PERMITS.
Many Soft Maple Trees VIII Succumb
To Rayages of COttOny
Scale.

The time to spray the shade trees
is near at hand and citizens who have
no other means of destroying the
cottOny scale which is fast DESTROYING
the soft maple trees, can be helped
out in this matter by the city. A
spraying outfit was purchased by the
city council and application for the
spraying of shade trees may now be
sent to the city hall as the work to
be effective should be done before
budding time. The cost of course
must be borne by the tree owner but
it will not be excessive.
Throughout the central and south
ern portions of wisconsin the maple
trees, especially along city streets.
have been dying at an alarming rate
for the past three or four years. If
they are allowed to continue for a few
more years many cities in the state
will have lost practically all their
trees. The trouble is due entirely to
the attack of the cottony maple scale
which sucks the sap from the leaves
and tender twigs. In the summer
time its presence can be detected by
the yellow condition of the leaves and
the blackened, sOoty condition of the
bark, with large, white patches of
this pest clinging to the under side of
the small branches. The cottony
maple scale is not difficult insect to
handle, the only trouble being that it
requires special apparatus, which is
ordinarily not available and which a
single individual cannot afford to pur-
chase

ii. Wertheimer Heads Company and
Report Shows A Satisfac-
tory Year.

The past season was the most sue
cessful from financial point of view
that the Watertown Canning company
has experienced since the orginiza-
tion a few years ago Although the
1916 pack was only $4,000 cases pre-
yailing prices gave satisfactory re
turns. In some previous years a total
Of 10000 cases was packed. Aside
from the pea pack the company also
packed 10000 cases Of corn at Plain

committee of the park commissioners
Messrs. Seifert and Hughes have the
matter under way and will secure
plans and specifications for the build
ing which will be constructed on what
is known as the Schlueter tract re-
Gently acquired by the park board
There was agitation for two buildings
but it was finally agreed to construct
one this year and probably another
one next year.
The subject of a public bath house
was broached several years ago and
the favorable action now taken by the
park commissioners will be welcome
news to our people especially the
young folks. The work will be com
pleted in the spring in plenty time to
take advantage of the warm weather

STOP LEPROSY SPREAD
IN UNITED STATES

At Tremeloo, Belgium, Is years ago
Joseph DeVeuster, better known as
Father Damien, was born. He was
educated for a business career, but
when he was eighteen years old he
entered holy orders, and fifteen years
later, in October 1863, went to Homo
lulu as a missionary in the stead of
his brother. In 1854 he was ordained
a priest, and during the nine years
that followed he was frequently struck
in his parOchial work with the pitiful
condition of the Hawaiin Iepers. In
1873, he volunteered to take up his
residence on the Island of Molokai,
to which at that time all lepers were
deported, and there he remained until
his death on April Is, 1889. He gave
evidence in 1885 of having contracted
leprOsy from the unfOrtunates COM
mitted to his care, but he continued
his labors.
LeprOsy is contagious, infectious
disease, which is believed to be di-
rectly communicable from one person
to another person. 1t is believed to
be caused by a microscopic vegetable
parasite shaped somewhat like a small
curved stick This bacillus was dis
covered by Hansen in 1874. In man
the disease appears in several differ
ent forms, attacking almost any organ
in the body, destroying any or all OF
the senses, and finally producing
death. There is disease among rats
which closely Stimulates human lep-
rosy, and the bacillus which causes it
resembles that found in human lep-
rosy
1t is not definitely known just how
the leprosy bacillus enters the body
1t may be through wounds of the skin
of the lining of the membrane of the
nose and throat, and possibly it may
be taken into the body with food. 1t
is pretty definitely proven that no
particular article of diet, such as fish,
causes the disease 1t has been
thought that some insect may act as
the agent which transfers the germs
from sick people to we'll people. This
is not proven.
Whatever the exact mechanism in
the transference of the leprosy ba-
cillus, practical evidence shows pre-
valent where people are dirty and
overcrowded. There is no evidence
that leprosy is hereditary.
Practical experience has shown
that segregation is the only practic-
able means of controlling the disease.
A bill appropriating $250,000 for the
purpose of establishing national
home for lepers passed the House of
Representatives on May 4, 1916, and
was passed by the Senate on January
%, 1917. This provides national in
stitution for the care and treatment
of the unfOrtunates afflicted with this
gruesOme disease and solves the prob
lem Of preventing it's spread in the
United States

LIVING PRICES SOARING
AWAY OUT OF SIGHT

The prices of the necessaries of life
are soaring out of sight and have been
for sometime past. AT present doll
ar stands but little show in either, a
grocery store or a meat market to say
nothing of the advance n prices of
dry goods and the like. About the
only thing so far that we know of that
has not jumped in price is popped corn
which continues at the old price of
five cents bag. Take cheese for in
stance. New York American sells at
30 cents pound with 27 gents for
Wisconsin: eggs are 40 cents a dozen
for fresh and butter is AZ cents a
pound; onions retail at Is cents a
pound; cabbage at II cents a pound :;
potatoes at $3.50 per bushel out of
store; sweet potatoes cents a pound !;
and so on down the list.

C0LDEST WINTER KNOWN
IN MANY YEARS

The present winter was the coldest
known in many years and probably
in some respects the coldest ever
known in Wateftown since the, gov
ernment kept a record of the weather.
To-day is the last day of February
and it is not likely that there will be
any more below zero weather until
next winter. During the present win
ter the mercury dropped to zero and
below Al times during the night and
even some OF the days were colder
than zero weather. Below will be
found the temperatures when the
