Ed Binder is a rare character resid-

tween Baraboo and Portage. A big
auto passed him on the highway and
skidded into the soggy ditch, hope
lessly stuck. Binder. on a load of
lumber, at once alighted, detached
horses from wagon without solicita-
ton and in a trice the stranded car,
unframed, was hauled to safety upon
the macadam. So far nothing appears
to indicate rarity of personality, but
that characteristic is quite manifest

preferred for the timely rescue.

MARK RUTHERroRD,s JOURNAL.

There are two great ethical parties
in the world, and in the main, but two.
One of them asserts the claims of the
senses. It's doctrine is seductive be-
cause it is so right 1t is necessary
that we should in. a measure believe
it, in order that life may be sweet.
But nature has heavily weighted the
scale in its favor; it's acceptance re-
quires no effort 1t is easily perverted
and becomes a snare. In our day
nearly all genius has gone over to it,
and preaching it is rather superfluous.
The other party affirms what has
been the soul of all religions worth
having, that it is by means of repres-
sion and selfnegation that men and
states live,

After being in session from Mon
day until Wednesday of last week,
adjournment took place late that af-
ternoon, the following being the re-
port of the grand inquest fed with the
Court just prior to its discharge:
To the Honorable, the Judges of the
Circuit Court for Garrett county:
The Grand Jury for the December
FERN, 1918, of the Circuit Court for
Garrett county, beg leave TO report
that we have concluded our labors,
and have to the best of our ability
reformed the duties devolving upon
US as members of this body, and we
now desire to report our proceedings
and receive our discharge.
We have had before US and examin-
ed SO witnesses, and have found %
presentments and % indictments. We
have foound presentments in all cases
in which we believe the evidence JUS
titled, and have ignored trivial cases
and those cases in which the evidence
did net appear to warrant present
ments.
We have examined the several pub
lie buildings, in accordance with your
Honor's instructions.
We find the Court House in need
Of some repairs. The composition caps
on the columns of the Court House
should be repaired at once as there is
imminent danger of the bricks above
the top of the same falling out. We
find the shelf space too small to take
of the books in the vault of the Office
of the County Commissioners.
We find the Office of the County
Treasurer to be too small to ade-
quately take care of the business of
the Treasurer. We also find the
window in the ladies waiting room
to be in urgent need of suitable
weather strips placed under same.
We find the system of bookkeep-
ing installed by Mr.. Meyers to be
commendable and satisfactory.
At the County Jail we find every
thing clean and in good order. AS
there are but four MATTRESSES in the
Jail we recommend THAT additional
mattresses be szfurnished. We find
the hospital at the Jail to be in need
of new furniture, same to be suitable
for use in case of sickness at the
Jail. The banister on the porch at
the Sheriff's residence needs repair
ing and we also recommend that the
porch be painted.
We find the conditions mentioned
in this report in some instances have
existed since the report of the grand
jury since the June Term, 1916.
We desire to commend Sheriff G.
D. White for the excellent conditions
found at the Jail.
We desire to acknowledge the
courtesy shown US by His Honor
Judge Henderson.
We wish to commend the several
county officials having the records
of the county in charge for the neat
manner in which we find the records
are kept.
In closing this report we wish to
extend our sincere thanks and appre-
citation to Mr.. E. Ray Jones, States
Attorney, for the valuable assistance

Hill Puzzles Biologists.

A remarkable geological freak in Mexico
is mountain situated near Pachuca which
presents the appearance of being covered
with spikes. The sides of the mountain are
closely studded with stone columns or pail
sades. These columns are five to twelve
feet long and as large round as an average
mans body. 1t is a remarkable uplft of
nature which has the appearance, however,
of being the handiwork Of human beings.
One side of the mountain is almost perpen-
dicular and the stone columns protrude from
the surface at right angles forming an i'm
pressive picture.
Pachuca is one of the most noted mining
districts in Mexico, and it is said by geolo-
gists that this remarkable spiked mountain
is out of keeping with the remainder of the
formation of the mineralized region. The
stone is as hard as flint and has withstood
the elements of ages. The spikes form a
natural battlement that makes the noun
tain appear from distance like an ancient
fort. The mines of the Pachuca district are
situated not far from this wonderful freak
of nature, but the formation encountered
in their respective underground workings is
of an entirely different kind from that of
the palisade.

HOTEL PROFITEERING.

Hotel organizations have taken notice of
complaints of profteering, and have under
taken to show that hotels have not taken
advantage of food conservation measures to
add enormously to their profits.
The public feeling that hotels and res
taurants have raised prices unreasonably
finds expression everywhere. Probably the
members of the hotel associations would not
deny, if they told the whole of their con-
victions, that some hotel men and restau-
rants have taken advantage of the chance
to profteer. 1t is simply impossible for a
man not familiar with hotel costs to say
whether the practice has been general. The
hotel has, Of course, more than one way of
increasing its returns, and the matter of
menu price advances is not conclusive un-
less it takes into account the reduction of
portions. While some edibles are still serv-
ed without direct charge" the number of
things included in this classification has
dwindled remarkably in the last couple of
years.
Perhaps the most valuable contribution in
the statement of the hotel men is that "at
mosphere" costs. The man who insists or
atmosphere" must necessarily pay for it. L
is true that Americans of all classes have
gone in too largely for that infallible quail
ty in the past. Whether they will carry theil
new found regard for thrift so far that they
will be willing to spend 81 at hotel withou
requiring the hotel to divert fifty cents of i
to provide atmosphere" remains to be seen
If they will they will go considerable wa,
toward remedying the condition about whicl
they so enthusiastically complain.

South Georgia Forging Ahead.
From the Triton Gazette.

There is much more for South Georgia in
the re-grouping of the counties of the state
to create new senatorial districts than was
generally supposed.
Under the bill there will be 25 senatorial
districts in South Georgia and 26 in North
Georgia. The creation of new counties will
give South Georgia one more, making %.
This will give this section of the state equal
representation in the upper house.
What this will mean we may gather from
the fact that of the three million dollars ap-
propriated for state institutions by the last
session of the legislature only $140,O00
comes to South Georgia. That nearly all the
states institutions are in the northern part
is not entirely due to favoritism. While so
much of South Georgia was undeveloped
North Georgia had the advantage in wealth
and population Therefore, when state
institution was to be located very naturally
she took it. These conditions have changed
South Georgia now pays over half the taxes
Of the state and within few years with her
rapid development, will have the bulk of the
population. Then, with equal representa-
tioE, she will get her share of the state in
stitutions. Equal representation in the SEN
ate will help to this end

GAS SIACkERS-

The gas slackers-the ones who burn it,
there are but few Of the other kind-have
received timely and just excoriation at the
hands of our Savannah contemporary the
Press.
"The automobile owner" says the Press,
"who used gallon of gasoline Sunday
for pleasure purposes is the worst Stacker
of the war. The man who could not permit
his car to remain in the garage for one day
when his government requested it could not

He would 90 around the corner to keep from
buying thrift stamp, and suggestion that
he purchase a liberty bond would make him

AS the Press says, it would appear, to Sc
cure full and adequate compliance with its
request for the abandonment of the use of
pleasure cars for a given period the gov
eminent must make it an offense against the
law and military regulations to use gasoline
on Sundays and certain other days.

STATE PRIMARY TOMORROW.

Tomorrow will be primary day in Geor.
gia. All enrolled white voters of the state
may cast their ballots indicating a prefer
ence among candidates for nomination for
state and federal offices. In addition to state
officials, from governor down, candidates will
be selected for one seat in the United States
senate and for representatives from the
twelve congressional districts.
There is no contest for the Office of gov
ernor, the first time in twelve years For
the United States senatorship there are five
candidates, with the outcome probematic.
Under the new primary law one of the can
didates must have a clear majority of the
unit or county votes to secure the nomina-
ton, which is not probable. Should neither
of the candidates receive a majority of the
votes a second or run off, primary will
be necessary, and this election to choose be-
tween the two highest will be on the first
Wednesday in October. In eight of the
twelve congressional districts there is op-
position to the incumbents, the four unop-
posed congressman being Park, of the sec
ond district; Crisp, of the third; Lee, of the
seventh, and Larsen, Of the twelfth.
Owing to the number of the men who are
contesting the nomination for the United
States senate and the issues that have been
injected the race is highly interesting.

LOOK FOR SUNSHINE.

There are many flowers more beautiful
than the sunfower, but that wonderful plant
teachers US all wonderful lesson. 1t always
looks straight up into the light of the sun.
Look at it in the morning Then its bright
yellow blossom is lifted toward the east,
as if it were waiting for the sunshine to
warm it and open its petals bit wider than
they ever have been before. AS the sun
slowly wheels up toward the monday, and
then on down into the western sky the sun
flower keeps turning, turning, till at last
the light of day is shut out, and then it goes
to sleep. Life, beauty, glory, are in the
light of the sun.
Is there not something beautiful for us
in the way the sunfower keeps it face up
always to the face of the sun? How often
we have forgotten to look up where our sun
light is, and where there ought to be the
glory and the shine of love only the shadows
fall
Let us all look for the sunshine and beau
ty in life.

Such large deficit of $3.50, 100000 after
six months of railway operation by the gov

needless competition, the material reduc-

closing of branch Offices and other measures
of the sort it might have been supposed a
better showing would be made on the finan-
