THE progressives are insisting upon
the election of successor to Senator
Husting, and are opposed to granting
Gov Phillip the right to make an ap-
pointment. They give assurance that
Bob will keep his hands off the election
By the eternal, that is just what we
don't want. If we are to have an cleo
ton, we want that rantankerous chap
in on the other side so that We will
have a chance to get at him in the
open, and he will be able to read in the
results his own ignominious defeat. of
course he will stay out, because he
knows his entry would weaken any can
didate whose candidacy he might es-
pouse And his followers are also wise
to this fact, for if they were not, they
would do what they always have done,
insist upon his getting into this fight.
If an election takes place, Bob will be
pulled in where he can be seen and
known of all men, for he intends to be
in anyway, only he expects to be in
where he can't be seen, because he
knows that the moment he is discov-
cred aiding any candidate, that moment
that candidates fate is sealed and his
defeat assured -Madisonian.

OLSON-DROTNING.

At the home of Postmaster Ed Drot-
ming at one o'clock Wednesday after
noon, occurred the marriage Of their
daughter Winifred to Mr. Oscar L..
Olson of Edgerton. The wedding was
a very quiet and unpretentious affair,

relatives witnessed the ceremony at
which Rev. M. H. Hegge officiated.
The bride was gowned in pale grey
silk The bridal couple were unattend-
ed. After congratulations had been
rendered three course wedding dinner
was served in the dining room which
with the other rooms was decorated
with ferns and chrysanthemums. Later
in the afternoon the newly WEEDS left on
a wedding trip and upon their return
will go to housekeeping in the Marion
apartment building in Edgerton.
Both young people are we'll and fav-
orAbly known in this community. The
groom is the son of Mrs Siguard Olson
of Hanerville He was for time
cashier of the Citizens National bank
here and is now cashier of the First
National bank in Edgerton. Their many

tions and best wishes. = Stoughton

The Lesson Of Giving.

One of the war lessons that must be
learned by the American public is the
lesson of giving.
1t isn't going to be hard lesson to
learn, for as nation we are noted for
generous response to any worthy cause.
But we are also noted for becoming
fretful when we think we have been
called upon too often to give of our
material wealth or of our time or other
commodities.
Tt might as we'll be realized by all of
us, from the poorest to the richest,
that war means sacrifices for everyone,
from the soldier in the fields who makes
the greatest sacrifice of all, to the hum
blest stay at home whose contribution
can be but a little time or little
money.
There are many things in connection
with the war and for the we'll being of
our soldiers and sailors that cannot be
had through appropriation of govern
ment moneys. 1t is up to us to pro-
vide these things.
They must be supported. Every man
and woman and child should do his or
her bit to aid each of these causes and
should do it uncomplainingly and gladly.
linen TOO, Cnere are our local cndil-
ties, all of which must be maintained
by the generosity Of the public as in
times of peace. These must not be al
lowed to suffer.
There should be, however, careful
thought given to all money raising en-
terprises not directly connected with
the war Any of these that can wait
should be held in allegiance until the
war with its enormous demands for aid
is brought to an end. But we must all
learn the lesson of giving and remem-
Der whenever the cry for help is sent
out that he gives twice who gives
quickly. -Milwauke Sentinel.

THERE have been many inqiries as to
the meaning of the word sabotage"
employed in the recent exposed CORE
spondence between the German govern
ment and Count Won Bernsdroff. Sabots
were wooden shoes worn by the peas
ant people of France, Belgium and
Germany. A writer tells us that dur
ing the French revolution the revolu-
tionists were encouraged to smash and
break windows and other property with
their sabots. Later striking workmen
in Europe pitched their sabots into ma
chinery while in operation to destroy
it. Out of these practices has come
the derived meaning, which applies the
term Sabotage" to the destruction OF
property to interrupt or prevent opera
ton, usually during strikes.

MAY USE KENTUCKY STONE
Product of Blue Grass State Believed
as Good and Cheap as Bavarian
Article.

It Is believed that after the war is
over photographic stone quarried in
Kentucky may be put on the mar
ket as cheaply as the Bavarian stone
which has been the principal source
of supply for a long time. Small
quantities of the Kentucky stone have
been sold already, but the high cost OF
labor in this country and the difficulty
of working the stone have kept it out
of serious competition with the foreign
product.
The European stone occurs in thin
layers, which require little but planning
and polishing after being removed
from the quarry. The American stone
is in beds from three to ten feet thick
and must be sawed into thin layers be-
fore it is ready for use.
The Bavarian quarries have been
worked so long that vast pics of waste
have accumulated ti.at must be moved
from time to time, thus adding TO the
cost of production. The American
quarries have found a market for the
crushed refuse from their Quarrfes,
and this by-product helps reduce the
cost.
The better grades Of photographic
stone bring Eve to six cents q pound
for slabs ten by twelve inches and
the poorer grades cent and half a
pound.

IT WOULD do every thinking man
good to read the short history written
of Daniel Willard. the greatest railroad
mind this country ever produced, IN
the Leslie's Weekly of Septembes %.
Mr.. Willard is president of the Balti-
more & Ohio and has been selected as
head of all the railroads of the nation
in carrying on this great war. 1t is an
amazing thought that all of the rail-
road presidents and officials have vol
unfairly enlisted themselves under the
guidance of this one man to help the
government all they can to win its
war. Such a tribute to commanding
greatness has never been seen before
in human history. 1t is great tri-
umph in democracy. The war is doing
more to made the whole nation ac-
quainted with itself than any thing
which ever happened. We are learning
who are our truly great men are and
what is better we are emerging from
the undertaking period of politics when
we thought it smart thing to rail and
abuse these men because they were at
the had of great business enterprises.
Honest, upright men cannot reflect
upon that undertaking saturnalia when
the La Follettes, the Steffens, and 9TH
er political freebooters led the people
for time by the nose without feeling
ashamed or Inundated. We hate to
feel that we were so weak and helpless
before the uprising of our ignorance,
our prejudices and our lack of true pa
triotism as to give such opportunity
for arrant demogogues to rule over US.
The present is the time when men are
forced to leave off the mad pursuit of
money getting and think about their
country. 1t is making millions of our
foreign born citizens face the PROPOSE
tion of making American citizens of
themselves. When they are compelled
to carry musket or give up por-
ton of their wealth; to educate their
children in the language of this coun-
try and to come to the front in many
ways, then they learn as never before
that it means something to be an Amer
lean citizen. What an education of all
us this war is going to be. Gov.
Hoard.

"Lioht Of the Moon"

The phrase ''the light of the NOON
is an indefinite one, not used by sci
entists and used by others in a mistak-
en- and misleading sense. The moon
has no light of it's own, and the only
light that comes from it is the reflected
light of the sun, without any warmth
or life-giving quality or any effect on
vegetation. AS loosely used by many
persons, the expression flight of the
MOON means a few nights in each
month preceding and few nights fol-
lowing full moon. Many persons think
this slight of the moon" period has an
important bearing on seed termination
and plant growth, but that is a mis-
take.

Hear Good Music.

Music students should lose no OPP
portunity to hear the best music, both
vocal and instrumental. Heard with
understanding ears, one good concert
is often worth dozen lessons, yet
many students know nothing in music
beyond what they themselves have
practiced, or heard their fellow stu
dents give at rehearsals or recitals.
Trying to gain musical education
without a wide acquaintance with the
literature of music is like attempting
to form literary taste without know
ing the worlds great books.-A. w.
Moore, in For Every Music Lover.

An Animal That Initiates Fruit.

An animal which the Filipinos call
caguan is one of the most curious
mammals that exist, offering at the
same time the characteristics Of mon
key and bat. 1t hangs from branch
downward, it's four feet together and
it's head between it's paws. In this po-
sition it is never disturbed by birds or
beasts Of prey, for it resembles some
unpalatable fruit of great size, OF
which there are many examples in the
tropical woods. The caguan harmo-
nizes so we'll with the bark of the tree
on which it seeks it's roost that it feels
practically certain that it will not be
mOleSted.

TO SETTLE FAMILY ARGUMENT
Friendly Wagers Between Husband
and Wife Serve to Quench FIRE.
quent Dangerous QuarreIs.

Here is plan by which great many
family quarrels have been averted for
a certain couple. They used to quar-
rel all the time.
Before, the wife would say:
"My dear, you'll make mistake if
you do so and So"
And the husband would reply:
''My darling, you are altogether too
fussy. I know my business. Kindly
let me alone, will your"
Then would ensue row Of fearful
dimensions that sometimes would
shake the house, startle the servants
and scandalize the neighborhOod.
But now they do differently.
When they disagree they do it thus !:
swell, dear, if you think you're right,
suppose you back your opinion? If I'm
wrong I'll give you half a dozen pairs
of gloves"
If she feels pretty confident she
backs her opinion with box of cigars,
and the agreement is carefully signed
by both and locked up. Then one Or
the other pays when the decision is
reached. The young woman has an in
come of her own, so the arrangement
is fair one, which it might hardly be
were she compelled to take her hus-
bands own money to pay for his Gig
arS.
Gambling is, of course, wicked
thing to do, but it checks wild asser-
lions and smothers, in this case, many

WELL TO START AT BOTTOM
Reasons Why Lowest Ring OF the
Ladder Is Frequently Better
Than the Middle One.

There is plenty Of room at the bot
tom. 1t is better to start there and
climb to the top than to start half
way up and stick.
$50 many boys and young men are
getting the wrong start" says a mer-
chant In the New York Times. "The
salaries paid by most of the Wall
street houses are high, I believe. be-
cause, first of all, the business just
now can afford them; and, secondly,
there must be some premium for the
lack of opportunity. In other words,
the boy is paid high wages to start,
because he can't get much higher from
the position he fills"
In the mercantile field, says the
writer-who himself has several posi-
lions open which he has been unable
to f1ll-there is unlimited chance for
the young man who wants to make
something out of himself. For, once
he has learned a business from the
bottom up, he has training that Will
pay better in the end than the JOB
with the high salary at the start.
"It is more profitable to start low
and have your salary grow every year,
than to stick around the same mark
or lose ground as time goes on. AS
far as hours go, we have long day.
But if the work is congenial and the
employee knows he is getting ahead,
hours don't count. We generally turn
down the applicant whose first ques-
ton is, What hours do / have to
wOrk?'"

Persian Bread.

Native bread today in Persia is said
to be very little different from that
of 1000 years ago. The oven is built
of smooth masonry in the ground, and
many of them have been used for a
century. The dough is formed into
thin sheets about a foot long and two
feet wide and pressed quickly against
the side of the oven. 1t bakes in a few
minutes.
