Last Stand OF Beavers.

Far up in the Businesses of the
southern Rockies, hidden in one Of the
most inaccessible hooks that remain
in this country today, what is probably
the largest existing colony Of beavers
has established itself for a last stand
The beaver was once one of the most
abundant of our American animals, but
the ease with which he was trapped
and the value Of his fur soon drove him
far on the road to extinction. Soon
only the most stringent of protective
legislation was able to save him, but
now he seems to be coming back, ;"
and wherever he finds favorable To-
cation he increases rapidly.

Milton, Wis, Jan. 1, 1916, and died
Jan. l, 1918. Her girlhood was spent
in Milton where she attended Milton
academy. She was married to Charles
Lowery of Iowa On June Is, 1866. They
moved at once onto a farm in the town
of Oregon, Wis, where they lived for
fifteen years. They then moved to a
farm in the town of Porter, where they
lived only one year as they decided to
move to town and chose Evansville as
their home, and they soon became
much, attached to it and there won
many friends Mr.. Lowery preceded
her in death nearly eleven years ago.
Since then Mrs. Lowery has lived in
Evansville with the exception of three
months of her life which was spent at
the home of her sister at Milton.

Don't Shut Yourself Up.

The trouble with the executive who
is too inaccessible is that he loses more
by the arrangement than anybody else.
In shutting others out, he shuts him
self in-away from the numerous adj
vantages of personal contact and
points of view. There's nothing like
looking a man in the eye and hearing
his story, to get at the meat of a stu
alton. Most executives prefer to have
everything brought to their attention
in writing. That plan may be time
saver, but my own experience has been
that it will pay to get all information
possible by face-to-face Interviews

FORT ATKINSON

Robert B. Clark, one of the most
popular young men of the city, passed
peacefully away at l O'Clock on the
afternoon of January 18th at st. Peters
burg, Fla, where he had gone in quest
of health.
Those who accompanied Undertaken
Downing to Rome Sundays to convey
the remains of Mrs. Barbara Roethel
will never forget the trip. The party
started from here at 1870 p. m. when
the blizzard was at it's worst. 1t was
$50 O'Clock when the rigs reached the
cemetery. For several miles after
darkness lanterns had to be used to
find the way, the road in some places
being entirely blocked by huge drifts.
The return trip made Monday p. N.
was also difficult, the drivers finding it
necessary to cut down several wire
fences to get through. The rigs were
on the road d hours. 1t was surely a
narrowing experience.
The annual meeting of the stockhold-
ers Of the Fort Atkinson Canning Co
was held at-Huppert's hall Tuesday af-
ternoon at o'clock. The meeting was
we'll attended and reports of officers
showed that the company's affairs have
been we'll managed. President Hage-
mann reported that the canning com
panies of the country had virtually
been turned into government service
corporation in the great problem of
conserving perishable food products Of
the soil. The government took over II
per cent of the output OF the canneries
of this state and our local factory sup
piled about 16 per cent of its output.
Upon complaint of Paul C. Burchard,
four of the local soft drink dispensers
were hailed before Justice E. S. Rice
upon the charge of having unlawfully
handled liquors. After the preliminary
hearing the case was adjourned and
will be brought up at the February
term Of circuit court.
w. D. James, who has been i'll for
several weeks past, returned the latter
part of last week from Rochester,
Mimi, where he underwent thorough
examination at the Mayo Bros. hos
pital. We are glad to report that Mr.
James is convalescent. Overwork was
the primary cause of his illness, and he
will probably be compelled to ease up
for time.

CHEESE DIET is WHOLESOME
One Pound of the Food Supplies More
Than Twice as Much Energy as
Same Amount of Steak.

Too many people use geese merely
as an appetizer, says the Scientific
American in commenting on recent
bulletin of the United States depart
ment of agriculture. According to this
bulletin and to the universal practice
in the great cheese-producing countries
of Europe, cheese is one of the most
valuable of foods and q most satisfac-
tory substitute for meat.
A pound of cheese supplies more
than twice as much energy as pound
of fowl or round steak and almost
twice as much protein as the same
amount of fowl or ham,
Contrary to the opinion of many,
cheddar or "store" cheese is not usu-
ally indigestible and constipating. Elk
tensive digestion experiments conduct
ed by the department have demon
strated that more than 90 per cent Of
the protein in cheese is digested and
that 80 per cent Of it's energy is avail
able. Even when eaten in large guam
titles and for long periods, no case of
indigestion, constipation or other dis
turbance was observed in those who
ate it. One person who ate cheese as
the chief source of protein and energy,
eating an average Of 9.27 ounces daily
for more than two years, did a fair
amount Of muscular work and kept in
good health

Soon Over His Cold

Everyone speaks well Of Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy after having used
it. Mrs. George Lewis, Pittsfield, N.
Y, has this to say regarding it: Last
winter my little boy, five years old,
was sick with a cold for two or three
weeks. I doctored him and used vari-
Gus cough medicines but nothing did
him much good until | began using
Chamberlain Cough Remedy. He then
improved rapidly and in few days was

To remove paint Odor from refrig-
orator burn a pan Of charcoal for all
of one day. Swash ice cold water
freshly through it that evening, and at
night set four Or five pans Of iced wa
ter upon the shelves and shut the
doors. The volatile particles arising
from the paint cause the odor. When
precipitated into the water they can
not rise again.

SHIP CONTRACTS
Government Takes Action
Against FirmS-No More
Hog Island Programs.
HURLEY To SEIZE LUMBER
No More Private Yards Will Be De-
veIoped With Government Money
Lumber Communicated
in South.

Washington, March 2.-Summary &C
ton against mismanaged shipyards
was announced on Thursday by the
United States shipping board.
Twenty-four steel ship contracts
were Cancelled. Further cancellations
are under Amusement.
Inspection is being made of ineffi-
cient yards with a view TO comman-
deering them.
The first TO feel the boards heavy
hand are the Southern Shipbuilding
company, Charleston, S. c., which has
just lost the contracts for 16 steel
ships, and the Hampton Shipbuilding
company of Norfolk, whose contracts
for eight ships have been cancelled.
Edward n. Hurley, chairman of the
shipping board, said short shrift will
be given TO paltering. The board has
lost patience with the SOuths reced-
ing promise to furnish timber for the
wooden shipyards.
1t is now communicating lumber on
the property of the members of the
Southern Pine association, which
holds the bulk of the contracts and
has not filled them.
The board ii was said, bluntly, will
finance no more patriotic get-rich-
quick schemes. There will be no
more Hog Island shipping programs.
No more private yards will be de-
veloped with government money. 1t
will start no new shipyards, or sub
sidize incipient ones with cost-plus
contracts.

has not met expectations, according to
the shipping board

AMERICA SEES TRICK
BELIEVED THAT HERTLiNG TRY
ING TO FOOL PEOPLE.
German Chancellor's Speech Planned
to Strengthen the War Party
i'm Prussia.

Washington, Feb 2S.-German inn
perial Chancellor Won Hertling's
speech in the reichstag continuing the
discussion of the war aims of the bel
ligerent powers has not changed the
situation, in the opinion of high Off
Gals here.
Instead of marking an advance to-
ward peace, it is regarded rather as
deliberately calculated to strengthen
the hands of the German militaristic
party by endeavoring to convince the
German proletariat of the impractical
bic nature of President Wilson's aims
as disclosed in his most recent address
TO congress on February II.
While stating his readiness to ac-
cept the presidents four fundamental
principles for basis of peace, Count
Won Hertling dismissed them as ideal
istic and unavoidable by insisting that
they must depend for their application
upon the realization of conditions
which cannot be met.
In the official view his treatment Of
the subject was ironical and designed
for very different ends than the adj
vancement of peace.
There will be no immediate formal
comment upon this latest contribution
to the debate on war aims and peace
aspirations. Experience has taught of
ficiais shat important qualifications
are to be found usually In the full
text of the speeches of the spokesman
of the central powers.
