FORT ATKINSON

The Fort Atkinson High School Ca
Diet Company has now been organized
about a month and numbers IS boys.
The drill is held every Monday and
Thursday afternoon between 800 and
4 o'clock.
This sudden cold weather has caught
many a farmer unprepared and it is
safe to say that many acres OF late po-
tatoes are still in the ground and will
probably be total loss. Most of the
silos are filled, but corn has not been
husked. Our nine months of winter
and three months of d. late fall made
1917 never-to- be forgotten year.
Mr.. P. E. Aarbach was over from
Edgerton Wednesday and in renewing
his subscription to the Union said that
several farmers near there had sub
scribed literally to the second Liberty
Loan. The Johnson brothers had
bought So, $50 worth of bonds, Andrew
Nelson $500 worth, Clark Pierce $3.50,
Mr.. Aarbach $500. He said also that
Prussian war on the side of Germany.
The death of Mrs. Anna Rumpf, nee
Luepkie, occurred at her home on w.
Milwaukee Ave, Tuesday morning,
Oct. 80. Deceased was born in the
town of Aztalan, Aug. 10, 1868, and is
survived by her husband, Otto H.
Rumpf, one son, Roy, and one daugh-
ter, Dora Simonson; also three broth
ers, Ferdinand, August and Harry, all
of Lake Mills. Before taking up their
residence here the family resided in
Oakland and later in Cambridge.

CAMBRIDGE

Prof Erick Onstad has rented the j.
A. Scobie residence. Mr.. Scobie is i'm
proving the house with furnace and
bath.
A son was born to Mr.. and Mrs. Lud-
wig Jensen at Cambridge on Thursday
of last week. Mrs. Jensen was before
her marriage Miss Sadie Severson.
Almond o. Amondson was born in
Voss, Norway, Sept 20, 1882, being
the second born to Ole and Ambjor
AmondSon Hondvee. In 1874 the fam
lily started for America in sailing YES
sci. After three months on the ocean
they landed in Quebec and from there
came up the st. Lawrence and through
the Great Lakes to Milwaukee. In
1850, when the sc-calIed ''gold fever"
ragged, the deceased with three COM
panions started overland for California,
leaving here with four horses and new
wagons. When they were within a
hundred miles of California they had
but one horse left, so it was necessary
for them to burn their wagons and load
the one horse with their luggage and
walk the rest of the distance. There
was a continuous trail of scrap iron,
the remains of others who had likewise
lost their horses, and not wishing to
leave their wagons for the Indians,
burned them. They were delayed for
hours and sometimes day at time
by droves of wild buffalos which they
had to allow to cross their path. The
trip occupied three months. After
spending eight years there he came
back to the homestead which was his
home until 1890, when it was sold.
Since then he made his home with his
sister, Mrs. N. Anderson, from which
place he passed away, Oct. 20, 1917, at
the age of IS years. He was confined
to his bed for the last six weeks but
suffered no pain and when the end came
he slept peacefully away.

MILTON

Mr.. and Mrs. w. K. Davis left We'd
nesday for Sarasota, Fla, where they
will spend the winter months. Mr..
Davis health demands change of eli
mate. They will visit several places
en- route.
Six head of valuable cows were
smothered to death few days ago
near Johnstown, when stack OF straw
toppled over on them. The cows had
been feeding from the straw and had
eaten away the base.
F. J. Wells, who lives southeast of
Milton, reports good yield of pota-
toes. On a quarter of an acre of land
he raised hundred bushels, the larg-
est potato weighing one pound, fifteen
and one-half ounces. The variety is
the Hastings.
Harry Green sold the farm on Rock
river, where he has lived for the past
few years, to Andrew Weber, who has
lived south of Milton this summer.
Possession will be given the first of the
week. Mr.. Green and family will move
onto the farm he recently purchased of
his father.
Mrs. c.. M. Leonard and Mrs. G. S.
Persels, who are twins, were given a
birthday surprise party Saturday af
ternoon, when about thirty-five of their
neighbors and friends gathered and had
a splendid social time. Refreshments
of sandwiches, coffee, cake and ice
cream were served, and the guests de-
parted wishing them many more happy
returns of the day. For twins to cele-
brate their eightieth birthday together
is quite rare.

For Blowing Soap Bubbles.

A recent invention has made the
blowing of soap bubbles as safe and
sanitary as drinking pasteurized milk.
No longer need the youngster steal
the soap from the laundry for his
bubbles. Instead he uses tiny paper
tubes purchased from the nearest drug
store. These tubes contain a small
piece of sterilized soap at one end.
The tube is dipped in a glass of clear
water. Nor is there any danger of the
childs cutting himself on a broken
pipe, as the tube is so constructed that
it collapses under pressure.

Emma was enjoying a company din

things provided for the table that day
was a dressing usually prepared with
roast chicken. She was fond of this,
and wanted second helping. She had

was passed the first time, but had for
gotten just what to call for, so she
simply said, in asking for it: "Please

HIS COMFY CHAIR
WAS LIQUOR CACHE
Popular Resting Place Laden
With Filled Bottles in
Dry Oklahoma

According to the Muskogee Phoenix,
in "dry" Oklahoma, the following in
cident really occurred:
Somebody was always sitting in a
certain chair in the front of ]. l..
Browns restaurant: 219 North Main
street, and always it was either
Brown or an employee. 1t was just an
ordinary and a very innocent looking
chair without any cushion but it was
the favorite. The seat was of heavy
timber.
Yesterday when deputy sheriffs and
deputy United States marshals raided
the place the chairs secret came forth.
Directly underneath the seat were
strapped rubber bands, which, when
stretched made q hiding place for pint
and half pint bottles of whisky.
Deputy Sheriff Bert G.. Hughes be
came suspicious of the man who sat
glued in the chair during the excite
nent of the raid and turning it over
discovered Barleycorn's hiding place.
He pulled two pints of whisky from be-
tween the straps and the seat.
Further investigation revealed SINH
lar secrets in the bottom of a soda pop
case and an improyised table with a
carpet rug for a covering supposed to
be a gambling table.

Seldom a Necessity for One Person
to Set Out to Make Another
Unhappy.

The true idea of life is to be happy
even il we cannot have our way. OF
course, there are circumstances that
are cruel and pull us down, like
swamps and cliffs that confront a trav-
eler. But out in the Open, where men
are coming and going, the blue skies
are smiling, the flowers are bloom
ing, the moon is shining, the dogs are
barking, the autos are speeding and
everything is on a level, it is positively
unmanly and inhuman for a person to
be growing and granting because his
neighbor does not think and act as he
does. POise and kindness draw the
victorious battle line of life. We sat
n time with a great naval hero on
the deck of a warship, and at first we
were scared by his awful presence, but
he told us an anecdOte that we had
told a score of times ourselves, and we
laughed so heartily over it that the
mere telling constituted a bond Of sym
pathy that made us beat as one. The
great deeds he had done fitted admir-
ably with the insignificant things we
had done, and his greatness was a
benediction to us. The incident only
the fact that personalities
blend with another's life, when good
and sincerity rule the event.
