Loses a Friend

When death enters the home, when,
the soul of a loved one takes it's flight
to brighter realms, leaving only the
cold ashes of it's casket; when that
aching something rises in our threats
and all the world seems turned to ada
mant, the man that can speak words
of cheer that shall not sound in our
ears as hollow mockery is the rarest
man any form of religion can produce.
Wishing to lay tribute on the bier of
the benefactOr Of my bOyhOOd days,
Captain William Hill, who died last
week at his home in the state of Kan
sas, l never before realized how frail
are words in conveying the senti-
ments of the heart.
Lacking three months of being fif-
teen years of age | abandoned my
school books and went to work for
Capt. Hill on the "Baraboo Republic"
and for the next four years l reaped
the benefits of his deep and abiding
interest-equalling that Of father
for a son. Kind and indulgent al
most to fault he won the respect
OF his employees.
During the years that / knew him
Capt He'll made little if any outward
manifestation of any form of religion,
but in his heart there was room for
the men Of every race and creed. So
in recalling the words Of the Man of
GaliIee: "Give me thine heart, I ask
no more" | find an assurance that all
is we'll with my friend today
One by one the friends of my boy
hood days are passing away, leaving
only the memories of good lives we'll
spent And when we feel this world
slipping aTG- frcs2 under our feet
how consoling will be the belief that
just beyond the veil that shrouds this
life we Will meet again with those
friends tried and true And methinks
this communion Will be the happiness
of our eternity HUGH KELLEY.

What They Miss

They send us pocket Bibles
To make us lads behave;
They send us bright trench mirrors
To help us when we shave;
Powders for our face and feet,
Cold creams and camphOr ice,
But never any poison
For the hungry army lice.
The send US Wrigiey's doublemint,
It's really very nice;A
They send us little sewing kits,
With which to sew and splice.
Wrist watches and bright wristlets
And ukes On which to strum;
But never any poison =.
For the hungry army crum.
o, yes, dear friend, we've got them,
And we've got them mighty bad;
The pesky things keep biting,
Till they almost drive us mad;
They're after us continually;

And every time they grab chunk,

That Great Duel

Some weeks ago we received an il
vitaiton to be present at the great
duel to take place at "The Fair" be-
tween N. G. Abbott and Hugh Kelley.
We were told that we were expected
to hold the stakes Well, while we've
been studying over this and at the
same time scratching our head with
our pet pointed thumb nail. we have
decided that in such a case to abide
at home is best. not that we are
slackerkneed person but we, being
thin it is hard for us to move quickly
And, that blackthorn stick, 1--WE saw
it onee) we might get hit If N. G.
Abbott missed the train that pop-eyed
gosoon would stir things lively for u.s.
Oh no. to abide at home is best Then
the stakes, what kind are they? I
know stakes for dahlias, and tomato
vines. You don't mean money? W.
might scoot with that. Then there's
beef and pork steaks way ahead OF
money with which we can make a
toothsome meat pie which is lickum
good if we do say it, which shouldn't.

Anent That Duel

Now when the weather is so warm
One is inclined to swear,
Along comes Hughie Kelley
With lot more hot air.
Explaining just what he would do
With his old black thorn club.
And beating of a tom-tom
With deafening rub-adub.
Now, while not afraid of Hughie,
Nor dismayed by his big stick,
l feel the combination
Is just a bit too thick.
| would fight him with horse pistols,
With squirt guns, or with squash,
With boys of mud, with these straws
Or paper wads, b'gosh-
I'd fight him up in aeroplanes,
Or down in submarines,
I'd fight him at the table
With a dish of pork an beans;
I'd meet him in talking match,
And take my old bazoo
To the city of st. Louie,
Half way to BaraboO.
I'd fight him DER the wireless,
Or long distance telephone,
But won't meet Hughie and his club
All by myself alone,
For if l were an angel made,
The chances would be slim
That in the glad hereafter
I would ever meet with him.
And heaven would prove dreary place
If Hughie were not there
To lambast his old tOm-tom
And furnish us hot air.

PIG TALE WORTH
KNOWING ABOUT
Madison Folk Invest With the
Promise of Making One Hun
dred Per Cent

Not long ago several, Madison folks
flew kites by investing in hogs, there
being a promise the money would be
doubled. Each patriotic citizen
| peeled 500 from his roll, just about
enough to purchase a valuable speci-
| men. The melon is to be cut next
December, providing nothing goes
awry. Read what the Madison Dem
ocrat says concerning the scheme:
Pigs are pigs at a certain farm near
Dane, and also at the university, and
yesterday the state railroad commits
sion-yes the railroad commission,
not the board Of health or the state
veterinarian!-lear as much about
the precious things. 1t seems that
we have a blue-sky> law which has
to do with skybathing in stocks. 1t
had been reported that the Dane
project, or Mont Joy stock farm, may
have been operating in ignorance of
those laws, and the railroad commits
sion took the matter under consider
alton, though of course no stock was
sold, but pigs bought.
E. w. DeBower, head of Mont JOY
said he had facilities for raising pigs
to increase the production of pork.
He sells a brood SOW for $780, Civ
ing the purchaser a bill of sale and
identifying the SOW with a metal tag
bearing the number of the bill
The SOW is Immediately inoculated
with double serum procured from the
Mr.. DeBower agrees to feed and care
for the sow and breed her to raise
two filters a year. The pigs are all
fattened together and, when weighing
200 to 225 pounds, are sold, the cost
of feed and care are deducted, and
the owners Of the sows paid so per
cent Of the net profit, while Mr.. De-
Bower retains the other half.
! Bruce Hardy, (ho had managed
the farm for three years, said he had
been sent out to buy the brood sows
and paid an average Of probably $70
He estimated each SOW would raise
an average two filters Of eight pigs
each year, and that at the price of
$1515, which is 81 less than the pre-
>vailing price, these filters should
bring $496 with an expense of $3.50,
and a net profit Of $240.
Professor F. B. Morrison, of the
university, who appeared as an indi-
vidual, said Mr.. Kardy's statement
that the brood sows would average
eight pigs a litter twice a year means
nothing. He presented statistics
from government reports that out of
an average of about II pigs to a litter
only about six were raised. He tes-
titled it would be impossible to raise
pigs for the market under present
conditions at or 8 cents per pound,
with corn selling at over cents.
Mr.. Hardy admitted that Professor
MorrisOn's statements were correct so
far as they referred to the average
hog raising conditions on the average
farm, but that the number of pigs
per litter raised for market could be
made much larger where there were
superior hog raising facilities and
special care given as at Mont Joy.
For two years that farm had demon
strated a maturity of better than 8
pigs to the litter, he declared.

Extracts from recent lSII0IS lIOlu
Earl E. Faber, son Of Mrs. E. P. Wins
low, 213 Second street, at Camp Mer-
rift, N. j.:
July 80, 1918.
My Dear Mamma and Dad:
Lour letters were forwarded me
from Fort Morgan, and | was more
than glad to get them. After reach
ing here we at once began to get our
equipment, which all OF us had not
received at Fort Morgan. We are
now fully equipped and had our final
inspection yesterday morning. We
exchanged our cotton khaki suits for
two suits of wooden, our light shoes
for two pairs of "hOb-nailed shoes"
These have iron pegs or nails III the
bottom of the sole and heel, and are
made of heavy leather. | also eX-
changed my broad-brimmed hat for
funny little cap used by the French
soldiers, which is shaped something
like the paper hats youngsters often
make in school. Besides all I've men

tent, pole and five tent stakes. The
fellow who will stay with me has the
other half Much of this goes in the
pack we carry on our backs, and the
rest goes in our barrack bags.
[ want to tell you just a little about
Camp Merritt. First, it's an immense
camp, in fact regular city of sol
diers, more than twice the size of
the city of Madison, Wis. There are
three Y. NJ c.. AS. here. Just now
am writing in what is called "Mer-
rift Hail., It's a splendid building,
given by rich lady by the name of
Merritt in memory of her husband,
who is dead. This building has
large restaurant, billiard and poo
rooms, fine big library and reading
rooms, where l am writing. There
are several tables with flowers on and
used for writing, too; comfortable
rockers; from the ceiling hang the
prettiest lights with yellow silk
shades, floor lamps, etc. 1t is really
ar elegant place.
Now, I'll tell you about your get
ting word of my safe arrival over
seas. The government provides us
with cards which bear this message:
'EThe boat upon which l sailed has ar
rived safely" and place for my sig
nature. Now these cards will be
mailed here the day we leave and
held by the government until our
arrival is cabled back to the U. S. A.
These cards will then be sent out
and you will know in few days in
stead of having to wait two or three
weeks for word from me. We think
we will get over in about seven days.
Now l am going to tell you little
about my trip to town New York
city, last Friday. l phoned to Duncan
Robertson, the singer whom [ met at
Monmouth last fall, and he gave me
directions how to find him. About
o'clock we took an omnibus ride up
Fifth avenue, saw where the Wander
bits, Astors, Goulds live, and many
other places of interest-out River
side drive, along the Hudson and
back. He then took me to a restau-
rant for dinner, and then to a must
cal comedy, which was splendid, then
to his rooms which were beautifully
furnished. Got up about $50 in the
morning, had nice breakfast and
then talked until time for me to leave
in order to reach camp by noon. He
is surely fine fellow and I wonder

us in chewing gum, candy, socks,
