partment of agriculture's agricultural
production program for 1913, recently
announced. This is what the program
says to the gardeners:

to obviate the necessity of transport

Although he wears knIckerbodsers

sufficiently clever to defraud Canadian

generally during the rush hours, and
after presenting check would ask for
cash, saying that the check was drawn
on his savings account. In many cases
the hurried teller, never suspecting de-

the bills without further question. Did

be panied to hear of the recent death
of her sister, Mrs. G. M. Bird, with
whom she made her home at Beloit
Mr.. and Mrs. Bird were residents
of Baraboo from 1897 to 1899, Mr.. Bird
being engaged in the grocery business.
So Mrs Bird-a lifelong member of
the Presbyterian church-may be re-
membered by friends in Baraboo as a
devoted church worker.
She never lost her interest in all
good things which would help to bring
the coming Of Christ's kingdom on
earth. In poor health for two years
or more, she patiently and quietly
bore her suffering until she passed
away on the afternoon Of Saturday,
November 2.
She leaves to mourn her loss her
husband. two daughters, Mrs. J. E.
Carr (Winnie l.. Bird, who graduated
in the class of '99 in the Baraboo high

were conducted at the home, 1910

who had not only received her into
the church in early years, but also

it was fitting that he should speak the
