WANTS ONE BUCK
LAW IN EFFECT

From resent indications the one
buck Law will again be placed in effect
in Wisconsin.
Petit ems have been filed with the
conservation commission from each of
the twenty nine counties which have
open season for deer, asking that does
and fawn be protected from hunters.
The commission has just returned
from holding hearings on THE subject
in sixteen counties and will begin on
August 5, to hold hearing in the other
counties.
1--WE had from forty to sixty sports
men at every hearing" said w. E. Bar
Der, chairman of the commission to-
day, "and with one exception the vote
was unanimous for the protection Of
the doe and fawn.
From the best information that
could be gathered, we estimate that at
least 10000 deer were killed in the
Wisconsin woods last winter, and the
sportsmen agree that fully Is per cent
of them were doe and fawns."

From an Engineer

Former Sheriff Henry H. Hale, who
was for many years an engineer on
the Chicago & Northwestern, left the
following in our mail box:
Who Tips the Engineer?
We tip the man who brings our hat,
The man who brings our cane,
The waiter in the restaurant,
The porter on the train,
But how about the man who risks
His life and knows no fear?
Did you ever hear of anyone
Who tipped the engineer?
We always tip the cabman,
The man who holds our coat,
The postman and the bellboy,
The steward on the boat.
We're always generous with our
change,
And still we never hear
Of anyone who ever thought
To tip the engineer,
We always tip the cabman
Who drives us into town,
The elevator boy who smiles
And takes us up and down;
But don't you think it's singular,
And really somewhat queer,
We think of all the lesser lights"
And forget the engineer?
Then here's toast and tip, may be
To the man who never fails;
To the man who guides his thunder
ing steed
Ger the ties and slippery rails,
And here's to a song for the man we
trust
With our life and all that's dear,
To the man who never gets tip,
'The railroad engineer"
Yet, there's One who loves the engi-
neer,
And stands beside him on every trip;
Though we may not see Him give
tip
He safely guides when danger is near.
The Lord stands beside that engineer
AS he makes his final earthly run,
And presents him faultless through
the Son,
Who loves and serves Him with godly
fear!

ADDRESS GIVEN TO
RAILROAD SHOP MEN

Master Mechanic G. V. Axen has
bulletined for the benefit of the Bara-
boo railroad shop men a copy of an
address recently made by w. G. Nc
Adoo, director general of rail
roads. The talk was given to shop
workers at Hill Yard, Washington,
and was relative to the opinion ex-
pressed by machinists and shop men
that they were not treated fairly in
the original wage commissions re-
port. Mr.. McAdoo stated that he had
appointed a new committee and that
they had made a report to him and he
would render a decision July 20. He
reminded the workers that they were
Uncle Sans servants now and said
he wanted them to have fair treat
ment but urged them to accept the de-
cision like true patriots.

Duel in Prospect

It is amusing if not annoying to
find how interested the public is in
my business. / cannot travel one
block without being accosted by some
body wanting to know what / am go
ing to say to Abbott of Arkansas in
reply to the poem he wrote about me.
Well, / have no intention of showing
the white feather, but I must admit
that I have been little dilatory. You
see, after reading the poetry challeng-
ing me to meet him on the fair
grounds at Baraboo, l was for time
completely upset. But after sea-
son reaction set in and told my good
wife | couldn't wait for the Sank cOun
ty fair | was going to Eureka Springs
and meet that lad on his own dung
hill. She said, 'But don't see how
you can, | have just spent the last
nickle in the house for a thrift stamp,
railroad fare has advanced One-third
and it would probably take several
yards of court plaster to keep your
countenance hanging together after
you get back. So"
Well, | have learned after 81 years
experience that it's best to do about as
she says, so to the fair we go. OF
course this man Abbott has the advan-
tage of me in writing poetry
For / am no poet,
And my song does show it,
but being the challenged party have
choice of weapons. Now I'm going to
tell you something but you mustn't
say anything to him, | have shille-
Iah that was cut from a black thorn
hedge near the historic city of Belfast.
1t was here my dear father and mother
first saw light of day; it is here that
the bones of seven of my brothers and
sisters are lying cof1nless and shroud-
less, murdered by absentee landlords
in the famine of '48, and it is here that
the brave boys from the torpedoed
ship Tuscania first learned what true
Irish hospitality means. Now, all
though
| have never seen that isle of green
There is one thing sure know,
If they will give me room to swing
this cane
I will strike a deadly blow.
Yes, if you happen to have any
money to gamble at the Sank county
fair you may safely bet to 1 that in
"A seconds after we three (Abbott, the
club and myself get thoroughly mix

heaven and it won't have the map of

Our Tame Rabbit

When I was selling milk in Baraboo
TONER'S little girl who was raising
tame rabbits to sell, and I wished to
learn something CT his character and
habits. He at once seemed to enjoy
his new home. He was full grown and
lived mostly on clover, was a true
vegetarian. One day, just after din
ner, he commenced running with great
speed around the house and through
the door yard, and twice running
straight for the door, he jumped from
the doorstep full seven feet into my
Wife's lap, appearing conscious of
making fun for us, and enjoying our
laughter. Every day he was up to
some trick for fun. We had a cat
and she was not quite pleased with his
presence, and one day as the rabbit
was quietly sitting in the path, the
cat slyly came up behind him and sud-
denly sprang at the rabbit, but before
she landed the rabbit turned and for
just three seconds neither cat nor
rabbit could be seen, but in place Of
them was seen a column of fur about
three feet high and out of it came a
fierce screaming of the cat. Then
suddenly the cat sprang about six feet
out of the mass of fur, and they stood
facing each other. The rabbit remained
motionless, but the cat soon moved
slowly away with an eye on the rab-
bit. They never fought again.
In the autumn the rabbit dug q bur-
row near fence post by the roadside
for a winter home. How he came to
know it was soon to be winter which
he had never seen, and he would need
special protection, I do not know. We
call it instinct. Webster says: "In-
stinct is a natural, inward, unreason-
ing impulse" | would define it as nat
ural inherent knowledge without expe-
rience. Or, may it not be a spiritual
perception of what is to be. (Man
must always build everything in the
mind that never grows old, before he
can build it in material that does grow
old)
Soon after this, a neighbor's dog
came along and killed our rabbit, not
knowing he was tame like himself.

Doubts His Letter

The letter Mrs. Rumpf received
from her son must of been dream or
a fairie tale That was printed in the
papers last week. How is it that some
boys can tell where they are in
France, and others cannot. | have a
brother, cousins, brother-in-law, and
lots of friends in the army, or rather
near and at the front, and not a one
can say where they are located.
That letter sure was some B. S.,
never heard of a corporal riding in a
train where the seats are covered
with lace.
And Uncle Sammy would have to
make some sheets if all the soldiers
would sleep between sheets. And
Paul Rumpf must of sure been dream
ing q funny dream. When a soldier
can live in a house where they have
rugs, chair lounging and beautiful
paintings: France must be fairie land
l hope that my brother and friends
will find that fairy land so they can
enjoy the rugs and beautiful paintings
That mo hers son must be lucky. If
he can go to war and be in fairy land
at the same time, l hope | will have
the chance to see France, see how
true his letters are.
MISS M. A. LUEDTKE
North Freedom.
Editor: In explanation to the above
letter i might be stated that no doubt
all kinds Of cars are used in trans
porting troops. Soldiers may have a
chance to ride in freight cars or first
class coaches. Some of the first
class passenger cars of Europe are
luxurious and used in all kinds of
service now. The writer of these
lines has seen them.
Near the firing line many fine
homes have been deserted by the own
ers, the men either dead or in the
army and the women with the chill
dren seeking safety. They could not
take their furniture with them, there
being no time for that. When Sher-
man marched from Atlanta to the sea
during the Civil War he laid waste all
kinds of property. 1t is the same in
the war in Europe. The owners must
flee and the soldiers take possession.
While all soldiers do not have the lux
ury of sheets yet in some places
where the weather is very warm, es-
pecialy where there are permanent
buildings, troops no doubt enjoy this
luxury. When the boys come back
they will have all kinds of exper-
fences to tell.

Sunshine

A little gold amid the gray
That's sunshine;
A little brightness on the way
That's sunshine;
A little spreading of the blue,
A little widening of the view,
A little heaven breaking through
That's sunshine.
A little looking for the light
That's sunshine;
A little patience through the night
That's sunshine;
A little bowling Of the will,
A little resting on the hill,
A little standing very still
That's sunshine.
A little smiling through the tears
That's sunshine;
A little faith behind the fears
That's sunshine;
A little folding of the hand,
A little yielding of demand,
A little grace to understand

loan campaign in the three weeks
period between September % and
October 10.
An announcement is expected this
week to permit liberty loan workers
and business interests to arrange for
the campaign.
Reasons prompting officials to
choose these dates included the fact
that farmers during October probably
can make liberal subscriptions from
harvest proceeds and that it was de-
sirable to end the campaign week or
two before the November elections.

Rev. RowIey Gives Address


men left Kankakee, ILL.,, for the
army the address was given by
Richard Rowley, we'll known in Bara-
boo. An extract of the address from
a Kanakakee paper was sent Mr.. and
Mrs. w. D. Porter, Baraboo, and reads
as follows:
Rev. Rowley declared that the boys
who were assembled reminded him
Of the drummer boy, who was dis
covered on the field of Waterloo,
surrounded by enemy cannon, who,
when asked why he was in such a
place of danger, replied, edo not
know, but the reason is known to
the cOmmander-in-chief.
eve are sending these boys away
feeling fully assured that the rea-
sons are fully known to the great
commander-in- Chief" declared Rev
Rowley. "Yet we know of some rea-
sons ourselves. When the war broke
out we looked upon it as local af-
fair, as war between European ma
tons, as the termination of quarrel
between European kings, and as a
war of commercial jealousies, and we
adopted the attitude of neutrality.
When Belgium was invaded and the
treaties which safeguarded it's in
tegrity were looked upon as scraps
of paper and cast to the winds of hea
ven, we made no protest. When
curtains of fire were rained down up
on the village school and town hos
pital, killing the defenseless and I'M
defended, we never lifted finger.
When a million Armenians we're
brutality maltreated and thousands
of them butchered in cold blood, we
thought it no concern Of ours. When
ship after ship was struck without
warning, killing innocent women and
children, we made some objections to
it, but we chung to our principle of
neutrality. We went into the last
general election hugging the slogan,
We have been kept out of war now
the price of our neutrality must be
paid for in red blood. At last, the
war is more than a petty quarrel of
kings, more than a quarrel OF COM
mercial greed. Now we know that
it is war of freedom against tyr
any, that it is a war of civilization
against savagry, that it is war OF
humanity against brute force, SO
we're fighting for principles of right,
freedom, civilization and humanity.
millions, including many Of our
selves, have sought refuge in these
United States, and many millions
more are now stretching out their
hands to us across the sea, lmplor-
ing us to come and save them. | per-
sonally believe that providence is
calling us to the grandest work
and the noblest service ever entrust-
ed to any people, and long as the
struggle may last, difficult as it may
prove to be, l have no doubt what
ever, as to the outcome. So l ad-
wise you to go forward, play the man,
keep clean in mind, and body, do
the right thing and God will bless
you and give you victory
American Creed
With great enthusiasm the select
men repeated the American Greed,
after Rev. Rowley, at the conclusion
of his speech. This is as follows:
