The corn is being favored with fa-
vorable weather. Corn is a tropical
plant and is supposed to have original
ed on the plateau in Mexico. Plenty
OF heat and moisture are it's liking,
and with the present weather the
stalks are hurrying toward the zenith.
The late paintings are small, but most
OF the fields never looked better, the
plants being Of large size and fine
color. Occasionally a field is sending
forth the tassels and silks. Men who
lived in Europe before America was
inhabited knew nothing of corn. Jul
Jus Caesar, Christopher Columbus and
even William Shakespeare never had
the pleasure of eating corn bread.

CHAUTAUQUA ENDS
SATURDAY NIGHT

The Chautauqua came to close on
Saturday night. There is deficit of
about $40 for each Of the guarantors
to pay. So many demands for the war
is given as the cause for the lack OF
attendance. Moreover Baraboo is a
resort town town with many places
to go and this detracts from lectures
and entertainments of almost any
kind. The program was largely pa
triotic and during the past months
Baraboo has had many good speakers.
There is proposition on foot to bring
the Chautauqua for four days next
year, the tickets to be $3.50, plus the
war tax The matter will be decided
later. The program this year was OF
excellent merit and more should have
heard the interesting and elevating
numbers.
The Chicago concert Artists gave
the closing musical numbers and DIR.
Lincoln Mcconnell the addresses. In
discussing the 'Devil and the Kaiser
DR.. Mcconnell flayed the German war
lords in no uncertain language and
the lecture was one of the best given
during the week.

Word has been received that Earl
Luder has arrived safely overseas.
An exchange yerv truthfully says:
Boys who smoke cigarettes are like
wormy apples. They drop long before
harvest time. They rarely make fail
ures in after life because they don't
have any after life. The boy who be-
gins smoking before his fifteenth year
never reaches the life of the world.
When the other boys are taking hold
of the worlds work, he is concerned
with the sexton and the undertaken.
A man tells of country editor who
started out poor 20 years ago and has
retired with the comfortable fortune
of $4,000. This money was acquired
through industry, economy, conscien-
tious efforts to give full value, indOm-
table perseverance and the death Of

Evelyn Stroller and James A. Streb-
Ter Of Chicago are guests at the homes

sided in this vicinity. One son of

A Wisconsin condensary went into
the hands of receiver last week. The
past couple of years the number of
condensaries has increased greatly,
and all were supposed to be making
big money. Now it is said that some
Of them are heavily overstocked with
high priced canned milk, which they
cannot get rid Of, the people Of the
cities refusing to buy because of the
price 1t is barely possible that the
canning of milk has been OverdOne,
but with the constantly increasing de-
mand for the product from all parts
of the world the outlook should be
favorable as soon as vessels can be
provided for export trade. The de-
mand for dairy products will never
be greatly lessened, as the industry is
not expanding as rapidly as the popu-
lation is increasing, but the distribu-
ton Of such products is now much
hampered by lack of transportation
faculties.
