Offered to Pay Any Ransom.

Mr.. Keet repeatedly had offered
to pay any ransom demanded, and
promised at one time that he would
not press the prosecution if the baby
should be returned to him. Conse-
quently the only reason apparent to
officials for the murder of the baby
was that searching parties at one
time had been so close to the kidnap-
ers that it had become necessary for
them to seek safety and had killed the
little fellow.

CHANGE
LEGISLATION

Salem, Oregon, Jan. 16, 1917.
To the Editor
Supposedly free American
workmen, on their way to shops
where they are employed upon
terms and conditions which are
satisfactory to them, are beset
and intimidated by crowds of
pickets representing organiza-
tions which are called strikes.
These crowds gather around the
entrances to the shops, and al
though they perpetrate little vio-
lence while police are in sight,
they terrorize the workmen by
menacing gestures and degrad-
ing imprecations. This is the
situation today in Portland at
the steel ship-building plants.
A slight amendment to Ore
CONS picketing law would pre-
vent such terrorizing and threat
ening demonstrations on the
public streets adjacent to plants
where strikes have been declar-
ed; 1t would also prevent pickets
from gathering in fiont of a
store or restaurant in crowds,
with banners, doing everything
to ruin the shop-keepers bust
ness by intimidating his patrons
and proclaiming boycott.
Every community in Oregon is
interested in legislation that will
help preserve order in the metro
polls so that its developing in
dustries may be safeguarded.
The success of ship-building is
ieopardized, although it means
much to every part of the state
whose products are marketed:
a fruit cannery has been driven
out of Portland as a direct re-
suit OF long-continued. noisy and
disorderly picketing in front of
its former plant in the heart Of
tue Guy.
1t is to be hoped that every
member OF the legislature will
support such legislation as is
necessary to protect working
men and working women from
intimidation because they work.
and Oregon industries from des-
tructiol because they cannot be
run proftably under union dom
ination.
Yours respectfully,
C. c. Chapman.

OWNERSHIP IDEA

OWNERSHIP IDEA
Making the people financial
partners in public utilities is a
new and popular movement.
The Northern States Power
Co. has sold six per cent stock to
several thousand customers the
past two years.
The Pacific Gas and Electric
Co. of California successfully
sold millions of dollars worth of
its six per cent stock to custom
erS.
At San Diego an entire issue
OF securities Of the local gas and
electric corporation was sold to
the people by H. M. Byllesby G.
Co.
This system opens the door to
friendly cooperation between
conservative citizens and utility
concerns, instead of suspicious,
envious antagonists. Under this
plan utilities will be managed
with a higher sense of devotion
to public service.
Regulatory commissions will
learn to have more respect for
these properties and radical ac-
ton will be minimized.

MADE 1T IN SPITE OF STORM

o. w. Sayner, in a letter to the
News, recounts his experiences in
travelling to Sayner during the big
storm of a week ago: Feb. 14th Mr.
Sayner, in company with Rev. j. F.
Cooke of Reedsburg, left Eagle River
for Sayner and Star Lake, where Mr..
Cooke was scheduled to deliver two adj
dresses on the temperance issue. 1t
took the men eight hours to reach
Sayner, but they made it on time to
give the talk as advertised for Wednes-
day evening. The next day they jour-
neyed to Star Lake, a distance of four
miles, it taking them four and one
half hours to cover the distance. In
spite of the deep SHOWS and general
impassability of the highways a large
audience turned out to hear the speak
er. The wet and dry issue will be de-
cided at the coming spring election in
the town of Sayner as a result of these
two meetings. Rev. Cooke left Sayner
the following Friday for Woodruff, by
the snowshoe route. in order to be in
his pulpit at Reedsburg, Sunday

COMMENTED on A GOOD DAIRY
FARM

William Jawort, Jr., of Manawa, Wis,
came to Wausau on Thursday to at
tend the funeral of his uncle Mr.
Jawort is a young man who has seen
considerable of the world He went
to the Klondike when the rush for
gold was on, and spent four years
there. He staked many claims but all
turned out to be of no value. He
quit prospecting and went to work,
making $1.00 per hour and many days
put in twenty hours The cost of liv-
ing made expenses very high. Pota-
toes were $25 per hundred pounds;
feed for team, SIS a day; flour and
food generally, were in about the same
proportion. A shave was so cents:
hair cut, S1.OO; whiskey so cents; beer
% cents; cigars, 25 cents. He has seen
a man spend $4,000 just for one treat;
ice cream was soc and sodas the
same. To get married it cost $50 to
hire rig of six horses, which always
had to be done on such occasions. Mr..
Jawort brought home many beautiful
souvenirs. A watch chain of nuggets.
the gold in which amounts to $500.
A ring made in the Klondike, in which
there are three kinds of gold. Mr.. ia
wort came home, married the girl of
his choice and put his money into
farm two miles from Manawa. and has
16O acres, devoted to dairying and is
as happy and contented as if he was
worth a million in the Klondike. He
returned home Friday.

the opening. Mrs Stephenson has had
large experience in the work, having
been with the Milwaukee sanatorium
since it was opened and has the high

GARDEN CONTEST

Last year the librarian of the public
library conducted a garden contest
and flower show, nearly all the seeds
furnished the children being secured
from the government. The members
of the Garden club acted as judges and
friend of the children donated money
for the prizes. When the contest was
held it was such decided success that
plans were Immediately made for
another year.
1t is now impossible to get seeds
from the government so the Garden
club proposed to take more active
part and each member give money
toward the purchasing of necessary
seeds Not alone flowers, but many
kinds of vegetable seeds are to be
given to every girl and boy in the
5th and 9Th grades of the public and
parochial schools who will plant and
care for their gardens themselves.
Children who have no place for a
garden at home will be given some
space on vacant lots, some of which
have been offered the librarian for
| that purpose.
Exhibits may be made, as last year,
at the county fair. Over 200 entered
the contest last year and it is hoped
as many or more may be enrolled this
year.
The high cost of living which we
constantly hear of, may be remedied
in some families by this method and
the children doing all the work in
their gardens, gain good experience
and may make little money by SELL
ing any surplus supplies. 1t is pro-
posed to have some experienced per-
son give the children a few simple
talks on raising the vegetables and
flowers, when given the seeds.
Any person willing to donate any
seeds they are not going to use, to
help the cause, (for the price of seeds
has gone up with the rest of the
things) will please send them to the
library any time before May TO- They
will be grateful for them

REPORT GOOD CONDITION
IN WISCONSIN SEED TRADE

Wisconsin's seed grain trade is in
good condition this spring, according
to officials of the state seed inspection
service. They report, as well as a re-
markedly increased interest in the
homegrown" product, more seed in
the hands of farmers than usual at this
time of year. Local transactions be-
tween farmers under the personal
guarantee" plan are growing steadily
in number.
1T is gratifying evidence of progress
i'm the right direction to note the
amount of seed being handled directly
from producer to consumer in the
smaller centers" said Henry Lunz, as
sistant inspector, upon returning from
an extensive trip to many parts of the
state.
Farmers are paying more attention
to cleaning their seed this year than in
times past, because it pays them we'll
both in cash and reputation. A larger
stock of seeds are held by farmers this
spring. On the whole the quality is
excellent, although it is too early to
state definitely how the termination
tests are running in the state"
The supply of grass and small grains
seed, it is thought, is sufficient to meet
70 &c
scarcity of seed corn is anticipated,
farmers cannot, owing to the poor crop
Of 1915, rely upon ''old corn" for seed
ing purposes. Beans and peas will
be at premium as seed this
spring, because many have taken adj
vintage of extraordinary prices for
these cIors which have prevailed
throughout the winter.

SWAT THE FLY

Now is the time to begin to swat
the fy-right today. Perhaps you
have noticed very few flies already,
but if not, very soon they will put in
their appearance. Get out the swatter
that you used last year, if not worn
out, or if so, get a new one at once,
and join in the anti-f1y campaign. Start
by keeping the flies out of your home.
Flies are more dangerous than an in
vading army and kill more than war.
SWatting the fly is the big gun of pre-
paredness, and PREPAREDNESS is
the big word of the country today.
We should get ready for the invasion
Immediately. One of the methods to
prevent house flies from breeding is
to observe strict cleanliness. 1t is
also important that children know of
the danger Of flies and how to guard
against them. Much illness will be
prevented if this pest can be kept out
of the homes. This old saying always
holds good, IAN ounce of prevention
is better than a pound of cure" Fol-
lowing are a few ways to prepare for
| the fly campaign:
Garbage.-This is food waste only
Always keep it in metal can with a
tight cover. Do not let flies get into it
Rubbish.-This includes ashes, bot
ties, tin cans, junk and house sweep
ings. Always keep it in boxes or bar.
rels of average size.
Waste Paper-This should be kept
from rubbish. Always keep it dry
Put it in burlap bags or tie it up in
bundles. If kept in the basement il
should never he near the furnace mol
under the stairs.
Vacant Lots.-The owners of vacan
lots are responsible for keeping then
clean. Do not throw your rubbish OIL
garbage into these lots. 1t is not gooC
citizenship and is a menace to YOU
health. Try to get them cleaned VI
and see if you can put in a garden.

VIRGIL BROOKS

The following is dispatch sent out
from Stevens Point and relates to
Virgil Brooks, who for many years
has resided at Dancy:
Children of Virgil Brooks. rs years
DID, and for fifty years we'll known
in this section, are endeavoring to
locate their fathers estate which once
was estimated at $4,000. Mr.. Brooks
was lumberman and later conducted
saloons here, at Knowlton and at
Dancy. Last summer his mind failed
and he sold his saloon. The records
of the sale of the saloon and timber
four years ago can not be located, but
some California and northern Wis
consin lands have been taken over by
the son, ]. c.. Brooks of New York"
Mr. Brooks lived in Dancy for so
years and he is 80 years of age at the
present time. He followed numbering
most of the time during his life at
Dancy.
His mind failed him and being with
out available means, no one to look
after him, he was brought to the coun-
ty hospital for care. A few weeks
ago his son came on from the East
and took him to live with him. He
is wealthy and he will be cared for
by him and spend his remaining years
in comfort.
Owing to his advanced years and
| enfeebled condition it is likely that
| Virgil Brooks will never visit his old
| home and haunts again. He is known
to all of our business men and in his
active days transacted much business
in Wausau.
| He was known to have wealth, and it
was only few years ago that he sold
a tract of timber land, getting there
fore something like, $4,000 in cash.
| This, with wealth from other sales of
property, seems to have disappeared.
| A son-in-law, Jos. Bremmer, of
Stevens Point, also a man of means,
accompanied the son to Wausau.

BASE BALL

A base ball club has been organized
at Marshfeld, with William Albert as
president and F. E. Tice, secretary and
treasurer. The way they do over there
is to raise sufficient money at the out
set to practically assure the success
of the club; $40O was raised at the
meeting. Wausau's experience in base
ball has not been very rosy in the
past, and if we do not have club this
season, perhaps we can get the Marsh
field, Grand Rapids and Stevens Point
boys to give one exhibition game here
a week Why not?

BIRD HOUSES

The bird house exhibit will be a big
attraction at the library very soon.
Many have already taken much inter
est in it, and have wanted to buy bird
houses. The exhibit will be held on
Saturday, April 14th. An addition has
been made in the children's depart
ment at the library. The increased
work in this department has made it
necessary to add desk, where chill
dren's books are checked up. etc. This
sounds good especially for the chill
dren's department and shows that the
younger element is becoming more and
more interested in the library.
