City hospital. A telephone message

way to recover. Mrs. Togstad has ar
rived and is with her husband.
Will Brueggemann was arrested
and brought before Judge w. s.

On Friday and Saturday many of

tute at Reedsburg. Addresses were

J. Galpin Of the University of Wis
COnsin, and those connected with the
schools of the county. Miss Brooks
and Miss Lillian Andrews taught those
present new games for the children

of living and the good that we can do
In life.
Little Edward Fitzgerald of Kill
bourn, who was injured recently while
skiing, was taken to La Crosse by his
parents, Mr. and Mrs. j. C. Fitzgerald,
for medical counsel. At first it was
thought an operation would not be
necessary, and that the boy was not
seriously hurt. Later developments,
however, indicated the necessity for g.
minor operation to remove pus caused
by q bruise.

Of the cooperative commercial enter
prises at Prairie du Sac, Reedsburg
and La Vale
He defined cooperation as the ex-
preston Of peoples faith in each 9TH
er. When there is understanding and
when there is confidence, a great deal
can be done.
The City Limits
He discussed at length the city linn
it's. On one side he found beautiful
lawns and restricted travel; on the
other extended highways and signs
along the way. He asked if one should
feel, when approaching the city limits,
as if he were entering territory
where the car must stop on a GER
tain side Of the street where the
. honk must be more subdued,
where the speed must be reduced
and where there are other regulations
not found in the country. In other

tween city and country for the good of
cooperation Of the entire community
There may be different regulations,
| but these should not fix a firm and
fast line between people living near to
each other.
In the country he finds signs nailed
on trees and fences. He does not be-
lieve they bring business to the adver-
tiser. He cannot see why, if proper
for business man to nail a sign on a
tree in the country, it is not proper
for farmer to come into Baraboo or
any city and place signs on the trees
standing on the lawns about town.
Health
Whole those in the city look to sew
erage disposal, pure water supply
ventilation and prevention of disease
just as much care should be exercised
in producing pure milk and other
products on the farm. Sanitation is
just as essential in one place as in

In order to accomplish large things

ton between the city and country
could be effected by means of the ex
listing clubs. They should visit each
, other and extend good fellowship. He
advised the city teachers Of Baraboc
to invite the teachers of the country
to visit them and be entertained. 9th
er ways OF obliterating the boundary
line between city and country were
also discussed, such as the work Of
County Y. M. G. A. Secretary w. III

A Problem
Judge James O'Neill was present
and said there is a cooperative prob
lem in his community that is difficult
Of solution. There are about three
townships of people from Poland who
cannot speak t he English language
and who do not understand American
ways. They should be instructed in
language and form of government

Absence

By Mr.. J. B.
Soft mellow notes down the wales ringing
Slow sinks the great smiling sun,
Yonder the plow-man wends homeward a'singing
Day and the joy-tasks are DONE
Over the mead LAND the cattle are lowing
Low signing winds cool the air;
Weary, the songsters to nests a going;-
Paeans of Peace Everywhere.
Dew from the silence of dusk is a falling,
flushed is the woodland and Stream
Fretful, lone bird for mate, is acalling;
Quiet and peace reign supreme.
Star-beams from heavens wide place, pearl laden
Dream in the POOLS mirrored light
Ripping the pool with each kiss-y maiden,
Weaving star-love through the night.
Dew dampened sweets from the volets yelling
Tell of parting adieu,
Here by the mill stream my dreams never quelling
Loved one I'm dreaming of you.
