Proof From ElkhOrrl.
EIkhorn Citizens Speak Out
Publicly.

In Elkhorn we find that people are
praising Doan.s Kidney Pills as highly
as here in Edgerton. Being so near by
the statement of an Elkhorn resident is
of particular interest. Edgerton peo-
pie should profit by the experience OF
Mrs. N. Squires of Elkhorn. She says:
II was greatly troubled by pains in my
back. When I baked, swept or did any
other kind of housework requiring
stopping, it made the pains worse. At
times my back was so bad had to
walk lame. L got a crick right in the
small of my back when | stopped and
was in pretty bad shape. A relative
had been cured of the same trouble by
Doan's Kidney Pills, so / got some.
They cured me, too, and made me feel
better right away. Two boxes were
all needed and haven't had any kid
ney trouble since. .
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't sim
ply ask for kidney remedy-get

EVANSVILLE

Victor Miller has been called in to
the electrical branch of the govern
ment service and left Sunday for the
Great Lakes Training Station.
I. S. Brink recently sold his farm
two miles north of Evansville to Glenn
and Roy Peach of Edgerton, the con-
sideration being $23, 900. The place
having been rented for this year, the
new owners will not take possession
until next year.
The town of Porter can go on record
as one of the few real one hundred per
cent loyal towns of this county, or for
that matter, the state. They cast 60
votes for Lenroot, 46 for Davies and
not single vote for Berger.
April first the business office of the
d. E. Wood Butter Co. was transferred
to this city, and hereafter all business
will be transacted from this point.
Under the new regime, Robert Pear
sail, who has been with the Elgin Of
fees for the past six years, will have
the management of the plant here:
The manufacture of process butter will
be discontinued hereafter and that por-
ton of the plant will be given up to
the manufacture of oleomargarine,
special attention being paid to their
brands known as 'Rexnut' and AN
Choir.

If | Were a Farmer

fl were a farmer / would keep at
hand few reliable medicines for min
or ailments that are not so serious as
to require the attention of a physician,
such as Chamberlain Collie and Diar-
rhoea Remedy for bowel complaints.
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy for
coughs, colds and Group.
Chamberlain's Liniment for sprains,
bruises and rheumatic pains.
Chamberlain Tablets for stomach
troubles, biliousness and constipation.
By having these articles at hand it
would often save the trouble of trip
to town in the busiest season or in the
night, and would enable me to treat
slight ailments as soon as they appear,
and thereby avoid the more serious dis
eases that so often follow.

CORRESPONDENCE


George P. Klein was elected mayor
of Fort Atkinson over John N. Hager
Tuesday by majority of 251. He was
given a majority vote in every ward
but the second. The wet and dry issue
was the most interesting, resulting in
an overwhelming victory for the vets,
their majority being exactly three hun
bred votes. The total vote was: For
license, $50: against license, 800. All
but the second ward went strong for
license.
Deputy Federal Food Inspector R. T..
Lawton reports having secured over
five tons of wheat flour and half ton
of sugar which had been hidden con-
trary 10 law in residences in this city
and vicinity. Persons who have "cov-
cred" flour or sugar beyond the legal
amount allowed will do well to declare
the same to Mr.. Lawton, as he will
commence the prosecution of such cases
in the near future.
The directors of the Fort Atkinson
Canning Co. droveNout to the company's
new purchase Felker Farm about
seven miles northwest of this city last
week. The directors are extremely
well satisfied with the "buy" and
think it is fine one. At the present
high prices for green peas and corn
they expect the farm to pay for itself
in a very few years. The probability
is that 70 to 100 acres of peas will be
grown this year on the factory farm.
A good viner will be stationed there.
Emil Heese and Harry Langholf ex-
perienced a narrow escape from serious
injury and death last Thursday. They
were riding in the formers "fivver'
and just as they were making a rail-
road crossing at Jefferson ahead of an
oncoming freight train, the Ford be-
came stalled. The car was badly
smashed and Harry Langholf thrown
a considerable distance, fortunately,
however, escaping injury. Heese also
was unhurt.

Discovery of Easter Island.

Easter Island was discovered nearly
200 years ago by the Dutch Admiral
Poggeveen, who cast anchor there on
an Easter Sunday, whence it derived
its name. He found it more largely
populated than it is now, But nd
his crew must have seen d
marveled at it's bold rock sculpture,
terraces and walls, it's picture writings.
Many of these, indeed, rival the world
famous relics of Mexico and Peru,
while they are strangely akin to them
in conception and design.
