II x4.t Peter Colby of Baraboo has dis
appeared. 1t will be recalled he was
implicated in the removal of a safe
from the Fourth street feed store and
soon after disappeared. When he re-
turned he was paroled for term Of
years, and found work near GAINESVILLE.
Later he desired to enlist, but was
not able to do so on account of his
record at BarabOO.
Some time ago the parole officer met
the sheriff, told him that Colby was
into some new trouble and he was
debating what to do with him. While
debating Colby fed. The next time
Sheriff Welk met the parole officer he
seemed to be piqued, perplexed and
provoked that Colby had unceremoni-
ously departed for parts unknown,

STRANGE ACCIDENT
IN A CREAMERY

Lorenz Tarnutzer, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. And. Tarnutzer of Prairie du
Sac, who is employed with the Troy
& Honey Creek Creamery company at
Witwen, met with a rather serious ac-
cident. says the Prairie du Sac News.
Mr.. Tarnutzer was churning when the
accident happened. He is not able
to recOllect how it came about, and
only knows that when he regained
full consciousness he was at his home
about a block from the creamery. He
was alone at the factory and as the
machinery was found shut down it is
thought he must have cut off the power
in his stupor before leaving. To all
appearances Mr.. Tarnutzer must have
been severely struck, as his face is
quite badly cut, several teeth are
knocked out, and his chin, lip and ear
cut. He also hasn't the full control
of his hands, which seems to be the
result of some severe jar.

MAIL DELAYED TO

Mail from the northern part of Sauk
county to Prairie du Sac, Sauk City,
Spring Green and Plain is much de-
layed when it leaves on the after
noon train. Formerly a train left
Madison at 10 o'clock at night for the
southern part of the county, but this
has been discontinued A train now
leaves at o'clock in the evening, a
few minutes too early to take this
daily paper and other mail. The
pouches reach the southern towns
about noon the next day, too late for
the rural carriers. A train was taken
off for the sake of economy and this
is why this paper is late in reaching
subscribers. The weekly is also de-
layed a day in reaching subscribers.

BUY CORN
WITH CARE

Unless we miss our guess, there will
be many a disappointed farmer over
the result Of buying seed corn from
houses that are out for the profit the
shortage promises. The corn is sold
on ten-day trial, and the grain comes
shelled. OF course it will likely grow,
but only the Lord and the seed firm
know in what locality Corn from the
southern latitudes will not ripen here.
so every farmer who risks the seed
from a concern out for profit, may
come up next fall short Of an entire
crop, with the summers work thrown
in Moral: Get your seed corn from
firms in your own neighborhood. This
rule is endorsed by every man who is
an authority on the growing OF corn.

WILL NOT USE
MUCH CEMENT

The cement companies have raised
the price Of their product and offer it
to the state at much greater figure
than to the United States government,
the state highway commission reports,
and has advised the counties to use as
little as possible. R. B. Griggs, mem
ber of the county highway commits
sion, says that not many new culverts
will be built this year, and for that
reason little cement will be purchased.
There is plenty of stone in this re-
giOn, and if cement advances too
much, rock may be used for culverts
and bridges, as in the old days The
work and cement conditions may de-
lay the building of the new road to the
lake.

RED CROSS DAY $
OVER THE TOP
al. Ringing Theatre Is Crowded
Three Times to See War Film
Displayed as Benefit

If the kaiser had been around the
would have realized there was plenty
of patriotism at Baraboo. The day
was devoted to benefitting the Red
Cross. The program was given three
times, once in the afternoon and twice
in the evening. Crowds filled the house
each time. The orchestra played live
ly airs, the audience sang America" !"
as the lines appeared on the screen,
and there was a patriotic tableau rep
resenting the "Spirit of Seventy-Six" !"
Then came the pictures of the twen-
ty-One boys who were on the Tuscania
when the ship was sent to the bottom
by a German submarine. AS they
were flashed on the screen one by one,
there was ardent and amiable ap-
plause.
The screen was a patriotic one,
and filled with incidents bearing on
the war 1t brought home to those
present that often there are friends
and brothers on opposing sides, even
in war.
The ushers were BaraboO young
ladies dressed as Red Cross nurses
and during the evening they sold little
booklets containing the pictures of
the BarabOO young men on the Tus
cania, the picture of the ship and a
tribute by e. p. Norwood The lines
by Mr.. Norwood are full Of sympathy
and patriotism, full Of appreciation
and thankfulness that all from here
were saved at the time of the disaster.
The management Of the Al. Ring
ling theatre is entitled to special cred
it for the success OF the entertain
ment. The management very gener-
OusIy contributed the use of the audi
tOrium and orchestra without charge
and the employees of the theatre as
sited the committee in handling the
attendance This contribution on the
part of the Ringing brothers is an eX-
emplifcation of the spirit generally
prevalent to assist and contribute to
the cause The Red Cross committee
is likewise indebted to the manage
ment for the spectacle of the Spirit of
'76, which was put on by the en-
plOyees from the winter quarters.
1t should be mentioned that several
of the members Of the orchestra were
high school students who kindly do
mated their services.
SLIDES BY TRIMPEY
After the sea disaster E. B. Trimpey
collected the pictures and made the
slides for the lantern. The pictures
in the booklet were also made from
the same pictures.
One o fthe pleasing features was
the presence of probably the oldest
and youngest knitterS-Mrs. G. E.
Ryan, aged 81, and little Elizabeth
Curry, aged Z. The former has knit
81 pairs of socks and the latter Is.
Samples may be seen in the window at
the Corner Drug store.
The sum of about $500 will be
cleared on the entertainment and
something additional on the booklets.
The committee appreciates the unit
ed effort that was made to make Red
Gross Day in BarabOO a success.

For She Has Saved The Soul OF The
World.

"France emb1dies all of loneliness
and all of valor. Beauty is her hand
maiden, and streng''i her shield
bearer, and the shining courage of
her daughters has matched the
courage of her daunt'css sons. For
three and a half terrible years she
has walked, high of heart, through
the valley of the shadow. Her body
is in torture, but her forehead IS
alight with the beauty of the morn
ing. Never IN all history has there
been such steadfast loyalty in the
doing of dangerous duty, such de-
votion to country, such splendor of
service and of sacrifice, and great
shall be her reward--for she has
saved the soul of the world. y
