Liberty BONDS
FINAL INSTALLMENT Is PAID IN
TO L.. =. TREASURY.

Washington. ID. c., Aug. 81
Nearly $500. 600, 900 was paid into
the treasury today in the final in
stallment of the Liberty loan. APP
proximately s1,615, 10000 already
has been paid in. representing prin-
cipal and interest on the Liberty
bonds.
Today's payment completes the fl
nancial transaction with the issue of
the bonds and 1t is thought likely
that the bonds themselves will be
ready for distribution within a short
time.
Now that the first loan has been
fully disposed of, il is likely hat an
announcement concerning the second
issue of bonds will be made shortly
by Secretary McAdoo.

of as much importance as the oil

CORN IS PROGRESSING
CONDITIONS GENERALLY FAVOR
ABLE DURING PAST WEEK,
WEATHER BUREAU
REPORTS.

Huron. Aug. 3l.-Conditions have
been generally favorable for the ma
turing corn crop throughout the
state during the past week, accord
ing to the report of weather and
crop conditions for the week ending
August 2S. issued by M. f.. Blystone,
OF the Huron office of the United
States department of agriculture
weather bureau.
The average temperature of the
week was above normal, but at the
weeks end abnormally low tempera-
tnre prevailed. Light frost occurred
at a few places Tuesday morning, but
probably no damage resulted. over
most of the state no rain fell though
light showers occurred at a few scat
tered places. Conditions were gen
orally favorable for corn, though
rain would be beneficial in localities.
This crop has made good progress to
ward maturity. but it Is still 10 days
to two weeks backward. Stacking
and threshing small grain were car
ried on under favorable conditions
during the week and good progress
was made. The grain that has been
threshed is generally reported to be
of unusually good quality. The har-
vesting of flax has begun. This crop
varies from very good in some local
tiles to poor i'm other localities.
Potatoes are mostly reported to be
a good crop. Gardens and pastures
are i'm need of rain. Stock is gener-
ally reported to be doing well. Con
siderable blowing has been done and
some winter wheat has been seeded.
The condition of the ground for
blowing would be improved by rain.

BOOZE GOING!

We may as well get used to the idea
of national prohibition. 1t is coming
soon, and very possibly sooner. The
map Of the "dry" territory is growing
at an alarming pace-alarming is one
holds shares in brewery or has
nice little crime-fostering joint of his
own. But for the rest of us, drunkard
and dry, saint and sinner alike, the
coming of national prohibition will be
blessing. It's absolutely impossible
for one to attend a ball game and
build fence at one and the same
time. It's quite as impossible to spend
a dollar for booze and still have that
dollar left to pay off the mortgage.
The benefits that prohibition will
bring to the nation are apparent; the
sorrows of those who will suffer from
cessation of the traffic in booze the
rest of us can bear up under.

the first place there would be the $50

Of imprisonment for so fragrant a vio-

the offense, would coniscate the deer

mixed into the affair sufficiently to
come within the purview of the law,

HUGH KELLEY COMPARES

Last week in my little article on the
Chicago triplets seem to have in
jured the feelings of few by COM
pairing favorably Baraboo with Chi
cago. One gentleman told me it was
folly, sheer folly, to hold our city up
against the Windy City in any fea-
ture. Well, of course in population
she outstrips us, her lake is larger,
and the water in her river is thicker
than is ours, so l thought best to
apologize to my friends and tell them
was sorry. But on looking them
over I found most of them belonged
to the Larkin Soap club, so | said
by gosh, as long as you've got lather
on I'll give you another rub. For
more than two years Chicago has been
trying with might and main to de-
wise ways and means whereby to build
subrailway, but SO far without any
appreciable results. Now Baraboo
has had an underground ra lroad for
nigh unto twenty years. Cort Lang
don did the work and a syndicate of
foreign capitalists furnished the mon
ey. It was built 20 relieve the con-
gested state of travel on East lynn
street at the time G. G. Lee was build
ing so many houses in Potter's addi-
tion Since the advent of the Ford
automobile it has not been used much,
but it's there just the same.
Do you want another? All right.
Some years ago a common, every
day man was running a cigar factory
in Baraboo Finding dull season, he
closed the shop temporarily, went
over on the Canadian border and
framed out of stone monster "Car-
diff Giant" toted it over into New
York state and buried it in a slate
stone quarry In few weeks it was
dug up, accidentally, and after the
eastern papers had hollered them
selves hoarse over the wonderful find,
the Baraboo hero sold it TO a bunch OF
spectators for several thousand more
than first cost, pushed the money
down into his pockets, and lived hap
PLY ever afterward.
Now, my dear friends, l have a few
more choice bouquets and I'll sure
fire them at you next week unless you
pull in your horns-clean in.
HUGH KELLEY.
