Did you ever view the remnants that
Ted has hung around?
He gathered them from city and
from town;
They're bright and they are nifty as
any to be found,
For pennants Ted's a boy Of great

Ted has them from far Waukesha, Pc
Waukee and Lake Mills,
From Fond du Lac, from Pipersville
and Rome,
Okauchee and the NOrthland, and
the far Wisconsin hills,
And every place that's anywhere
near home.
And at the "Pennant" you will find
some other things besides,
The best of wet goods always to be
had,
Cigars and eats a plenty, and time be-
fore you glides,F
No time at Ted's to crouch or feel
sad
And if you live out on a farm and
drive a team to town,
The "Pennant" has a stable in the

WIGGENHORN BROS. co.

Twinkle, twinkle little star,
Do you smell that good cigar
AS the smoke ascends on high
Far away into the sky?
1t is made by Wiggenhorn,
Who began ere you were born
To make up the best cigars
Ever sold beneath the stars.
Carl Schurz, a ten-cent brand,
They sell to beat the band.
And the t. P. A. high grade,
The best fve-cent cigar ever made.
SO when we buy a cigar
In a store Or at a bar,
Let it be Wiggenhorn
And we'll have no cause to mourn.

WISCONSIN GAS & ELECTRIC CO.
In the days of Old Man Adam, in the
Garden of Eden fair,
When they gave no heed to the NOR
row, and never pain or care,
They bathed in the limpid waters,
mid sunshine and flowers bright,
And the chiggers never bit them,
and no skeeters sang by night
But Eve bit into an apple, just because
it looked good to her,
And then there came bushels Of trOu-
BILE, from which there was no de-
muir,
And then like a foolish spendthrift,
when trouble begins to Turk,
Both Adam and Eve had to beat it,
and both had to go to work.
But ages have brought triumph, and
although wint'ry winds blow cold,
We can still have warm water to
battle in, as good as in days of
old,
For science has found a heater, just
touch off the gas and she goes,
And the hot water fills the bath-tub
in sunshine or winter SHOWS.
And man has harnessed the lightning,
from the skies that are far above,
. And you turn on the juice for cook
ing and sit down and wait for
your love-
Just step in at TWo-O-Five Main
street, and learn of these wonders
there
And your no emwill henceforth be
"dreamland" like the Eden of old
so fair.

compromise by proposing to convert
the disputed territory, which consists
OF about $50 acres, into Sino-French
settlement to be administered jointly
by the French and the Chinese.
The Chinese press and much of the
chinese public opposed such settle
ment, and criticism of the French of.
ficial was so harsh that the negotia.

stormiest sessions of the Nevada
legislature is likely when that body
conyenes here for a 60-day session on
January 16. The storm centers are
expected to be proposed legislation

Is the more likely because the house
is Democratic, while the senate is con-
trolled by the Republicans.
Good roads legislation and a pro-
posal, fostered by the Nevada State
Bar Association, to inaugurate the
short ballot system, are other legisla.
tive features that will cause contests
in both houses. The short ballot
measure will have the support of Gov.
ernor Emmett d. Boyle. who advocated
1t in his message to the last legisla-
ture.
The proposal to change the divorce
laws to make a years residence
necessary instead of the present six
months, probably will supply the ma
terial for the longest and storfniest
contest of the session. An initiative

hilton already has been started

ton. .@' .f...I
Efforts probably will be made, to
restore the direct primary system,
although friends of the present con.
ventian system are prepared to make
every possible move for its retention,
with some slight notifications.
The gambling fight likely will cen

Only slight changes are expected in
the race track laws, however, which
now permit betting under the pari'

Philadelphia, Feb. 8.-"The Ger man-American National Alliance, representing 3,000000 citizens, has passed resolution backing up Pres ldent Wilson i'll handing passport S to Ambassador Bernstorff and re- calling Ambassador James w. Ger ard from Berlin" Dr. Hexamer, the president of the alliance, said in a statement Thursday. We have all so adopted resolution pledging our services to the government of the United States in case of war. We will fight under the command of President Wilson as our command er-in-chief as Loyalty as German Americans fought under Command er-in-Chief Abraham Lincoln for the preservation of the UIfien.
 We will organize German-Amer- jean regiments and in case of cail dor volunteers, We mean to show the American people with what readi- ness and patriotism we will answer a call to arms for tine defense of the flag and the country.
 We have been collecting funds for the German Red Cross and for the German widows and orphans. In view of the present break of re-. lations between the United States and Germany We have resolved to deposit all moneys received for these funds in banks. Tn case of war, we will at once turn over all the moneys we have raised for the German Red Cross and German widows and orphans to the Ameri- can Red Cross and for the benefit of widows and orphans of our boys who give their lives to defend our country against Germany.
 Our delegates feel that we have been greatly misunderstood and un- justly criticised during the war, but if it comes to war with Germany our actions will not be susceptible to any further misunderstandings, for we will back up our American government with our lives and our means. If the present troubles can be settled without war, and in a few mnoths everything looks like peace, we may determine to again send our funds for Red Cross and widows and orphans as we have been doing in the past

He says while down at a spring few days ago, his little dog made a great dis turbance, and an investigation showed that he had "treed' biz water moccasin in the spring. The doctor took proper prepared ness measures, killed the reptile, and being little afraid to take his own estimate of size as basis for his snake story, secured a 2-foot rule and found the snake measured ex- actly feet inch in length and fully 3 inches iii diameter. The doctor agrees that tkis is some snake story" to spring so early in the season. but he knows snakes and promises to stand pat in face of all corners.

 Press reports said that Villistas are camped five miles below the border at Palomas and General Car ranza's ally note gave tinge to affairs that cials here disliked. It appeared likely that Villa might take advantage of the overshadow- ing international problems to start something along the border
 Carranza, either thru German in iluence or otherwise, has suggested that supplies for the allies be cut ofI. This would include the British oil deposits of Tampico. Whether he has taken active measures to back up his suggestion is not known here, but the possibility seems suf- ilciently likely to prove a disturbing element. It is generally believed that the note was prompted by Ger man influence. That Germany, 1T event of war with the United States would have a strong sympathizer if not a potential ally, in the Carran- "a government is generally believed as German agents have been report ed as particularly active in Mexico since the threatened trouble and arc understood to have made strong representations to Carrancista ofIi- cials.
