Notice to Subscribers.

The attention of subscribers is called
to ruling of the u. S. government
that owing to shortage of print paper
newspapers cannot be sent through the
mails unless paid for in advance. Pub
fishers of country weeklies, therefore,
are face to face with serious crisis.
Some will be ruined and oil suffer finan-
cial hardship unless delinquent sub
scribers respond to their aid. Of course
every publisher feels his family of pat
rons are honest and loyal to his paper
and they will promptly remit past dues
with year in advance, thus complying
to the war time ruling. The date on
the label to your paper should tell you
how your account stands.
We trust our patrons will accept
these regulations with the same spirit
and cheerfulness as they do other nee
essary war time restrictions.

Monarch Laboratory Threatened by
Fire.

A fire alarm turned in about clock
Thursday evening brought the depart
ment to the Wilson laboratory where
smoke was issuing in volumes on both
street fronts, which led to the belief
that the entire block was doomed. 1t
took some time to locate the blaze
which was finally found to be in the
basement near the heater under the
front office, but with extinguishers and
hose was finally squelched, but not
until the flames had begun to break
through the floor in the front hall. The
smoke was so sitting that the iremen
were compelled to wear masks while
fighting the fire. After the danger
was over it was found that the fire
started in an ash barrel near the fur
mace, communicating to partitions and
floor joists, the latter being so burned
as to require replacing. The damage
to the block is mostly confined to smoke
which penetrated the hotel portion of
the laboratory used as Offices and living
rooms, which is believed to be covered
by ample insurance. The manufacture
ing part of the plant was but little
affected. 1t is fortunate that the fire
was discovered before it had gained
much Roadway for it is doubtful if the
block could have been saved as it is
largely of wood construction. The de-
partment showed good organization in
fighting the fire and did quick execu
tion when once on the ground.

Norman Clarke Dies of Wounds in q
French Hospital.

Another message from the war de-
partment that casts pail of sadness
over the community was received by
Mr.. and Mrs. Arthur Clarke Monday
evening, announcing that their son
Norman had succumbed September 18th
from wounds sustained on August 31st
in the engagement near Juvigny. Let
ters written his parents by his nurse
after his reception at the hospital,
which told he was shot through the side
by machine gun bullet, were encour-
aging but his injuries proved more seri-
Gus than anticipated.
Norman was graduate from our
high school, member of its winning
football team and popular boy among
his associates. On April 10, 1917, the
day he was 19 years old, he enlisted
with the Edgerton platoon that became
a part of Co. M, 128th Reg. He was
made sergeant the day the company
left for Camp Douglas, August 18th.
Later he trained at Waco and on Feb
ruary 18th was sent overseas when the
regiment became a part of the crack
32nd Division that has since seen the
hardest service of the American troops.
Thus another young life of the best
blood of the country has been sacrificed
for the cause of democracy and another
gold star has been added to our honor
roll.
The sympathy of the entire commun-
ity will 90 out to the afflicted family in
this hour of their sorrow.

DIR. Horton Succumbs to Pneumonia.

LIT. dOrtOu SuCCunDS I'D TNcuNIOHid.
DR.. G.. S. Horton, whose illness was
reported last week, succumbed to an
attack of pneumonia at 2:30 O'Clock on
Saturday afternoon. Without question
he surrendered his life through his de-
votion to his profession. When the
present epidemic came upon us and
calls from patients multiplied, he work
ed night and day to relieve the suffer
ings of others beyond his endurance,
relying upon his robust constitution to
carry him through, so when the dis
ease fastened itself upon him he was
unable to withstand its encroachment.
During the last day of his visits he
was not able to drive his car and was
carrying temperature of 104 when he
took to his bed and a very sick man.
From the very beginning he appreci-
ated his condition and confided to his
family that the chances of his recovery
were doubtful.
DR.. Clyde S. Horton was born at
Fennimore, Wis, in 1879. He gradu-
ated from the P. & S. college in Chi
cago in class with DR.. A. T. Shearer,
boyhood friend, and was a member of
the Alpha Kappa Kappa, medical
fraternity. He began his practice at
Barevald, Wis, which he continued for
six years, coming to Edgerton about
two years ago to join A. T. and F. E..
Shearer in their practice and later TAX
ing it over when they decided to leave
the city. He was man of fine physic,
quiet and unassuming in his ways, but
gained confidence of successful prac-
titioner. He was married to Miss jean
cite Johnson of Wyandotte, Mich, in
1910, from which union a daughter,
Mary, aged 5 years, is left. DR.. Hor-
ton was a member of the Masonic lodge
at Fennimore, the r. A. M. at Dodge
Vile and the Commandery at Mineral
Point.
Funeral services were conducted from
the house by Fulton lodge Monday
morning at 9 o'clock. The out of town
relatives present were Mr.. and Mrs.
Horton, the aged parents of the de-
ceased, Mr.. and Mrs. Hardness of
Fennimore, and Miss Marion Johnson
and brother Charles of Wyandotte,
Mich. The remains were sent to Fen
nimore for burial, which took place
during the afternoon, services being
held at the grave attended by the Ma
sonic lodge, Eastern Star and large
number of friends Mrs. Horton was
confined to her home with influenza and
unable to be present at these services.

laying scenes where she can keep mOthery eye
on them, and she plays true to form in this case
by never allowing the action to get any farther

ever fault you may find with the story, you must
agree that the village life and people are in

it has of a contemporary novelist by an English
critic, that she ''encircles plain story with

chef puts frill arOund a mutton cutie"
Two Are Wed
Birth achieves the rare result of being both
mystical and colloquial. You wouldn't, for in

quotation ''Thc world S greatest need is sense

IF paperhangcrs had been in the
l. sos the masterful characters
that they arc now IONA Gale could
never have written Birth. That is,
she would have found it necessary, in
order that her hero should struggle
sufficiently, to make him something
low and professional like an editor,
and then there wouldn't have been
any local color, which is the best
thing she does, as any one who has
read Friendship Village and Neigh
borh0od Stories will concede. Being
an editor now means having all of
labOring mans hardships with none
Of his alleviations. An author who
chooses to write of the so-called labor
ing classes in this gilded age does
wisely in setting the clocks back
quarter of century or so.
Few of us, probably, realized
when this author began her literary
career some twelve years ago that
she would ever produce a novel as
big as Birth. 1t is free from attack
by those three damning adjectivcS
which are so constantly applied to
novels of the day, "sunshiny,"
"sweet" and charming" Sun
shine is as far from its pages as the
poles from each other, its sweetness
is so rare as to be negligible, and the
charm consists in delightful and con-
tinuous humor, often sharp and never
overland, which isn't at all what peo-
pie mean by charming" in the new
and popular sense. But here is real
substance of things more to be de-
sired than the fine gold of sunshine.

close for young women of an earlier
day. Barbara had dreamed of love
and beauty, and she had missed both
She sought them. This is the epitaph
for every woman who fails"
But in seeking them she reckoned
without her incumbranee. Any one
who has tried clipping with a baby
will agree that while it may be done
TO good effect in song and story, 1t is
impossible in life or realistic novels.
The circus man whom Barbara select
ed as lover was distinctly shocked at
the rendezvous to come upon wholly
unsupported child, and insisted firmly
that both mother and child return at
once. When Barbara had returned
the child she realized that her work
was done and removed herself from
the story by swift and complete
disappearance. Whether or not she
rejoined her lover is left to the imag-
ination, but our strong impression is
that after one disillusioning expert
cnee he sought and found his prey
elsewhere.
If Barbara impresses us as being
inconcluSive, we may be very sure
that this is tho impression it is in
tended We should have. Realizing
the weakness of an essential charac-
ter, a weakness as essential as the
woman herself, Miss Gale has used
her only so far as she is necessary to
development of the pit. 1t is with
Marshall and Jeffrey Pitt, father
and son, that we are concerned In the
last two books of the novel
Love is a creative force, and though
Marshall Pitt had been unable
through the inarticulate material in
which his soul was embodied to fash

his blurred hopes, he could by virtue
of his great love for Barbara and
their child offer to Jeffrey the in
SEPARATION lacking which his life, even
