Beneficial Shorebirds.

All the shorebirds are strikingly
beneficial in their food habits. The
slaughter Of these game birds deprives
the farmer Of valuable allies against
some Of the worst crop pests. Such
game birds as quail, grouse and phnhs-
ant take less insect food than the
shorebirds,. yet all of them do a GER
tain amount of good. Even hawks and
owls have bad name which for the
most part Is undeserved, 1t is said, and
lndiscriminate persecution of these
birds is serious mistake.

The First Envelope,

The first envelope Of which there is
any knowledge inclosed a letter sent
in 1906 by Sir William Turnbull to Sir
James Ogilvie. The epistle, with its
covering, is still preserved in the Brit
ish museum. At that period, and long
afterward, it was the general custom
to fold letters and seal them with wax.
Early in the last century envelopes
began to come into more general use,
and stamped envelopes achieved wide
popularity in England shortly after
the establishment Of the penny post
in 1910. By 1850 they were largely
used ON this side Of the Atlantic.

Although Iceland lies far out of
the beaten track Of the American tour
list, yet she Is an island that possesses
many interesting associations with
this country. 1t was from Iceland
that came the first European discov.
erers of America, who thousand
years ago had their prosperous settle
ments all along the New England
coast, as far south as Long Island. It
was to Iceland that Christopher Co.
lumbus went for information about
the new world before starting off on
the first of his epoch-making voyages
across the Atlantic.

Be one thing or the other. Don't. be
a dummy for life to hang theories
upon. Be real person, with likes and
dislikes, with interests and activities,
with something that is positive. Be
pleasant, not merely not unpleasant
be sweet, not merely not disagreeable: !
be good to look upon, as far as In your
power; be we'll informed, as far as
possible. But whatever you are, DO
that thing to the utmost. Give to
those who are around you your very
best and unconsciously they will give
their very best to you. Try 1t and
see.

I love the way they once faced the
grim realities of life and fought fire
with fire. Marriage was lottery, so
they settled it by lot. The way Of
man with maid might upset the cal
culations of the wise man in Proverbs,
but it didn't feazc the early Moravians.
They got out the lot bowl, put the
names in; prayed that the drawing
would be providentially guided, and
went ahead in faith. And those mar
riages so arranged were such successes
that one Is almost tempted to wish for
a return Of the custom, in disuse now
for many year.-Exchange

Human Machinery.

We have headaches and colds, not
at all realizing our body Is in need
of some good pure oxygen.
Mechanics take much better care of
their machinery than they do Of their
own bodies. They know that unless
the machine is cleaned, Oiled and rest
ed occasionally it will not run prop
erly. How often do they think Of the
Importance of caring for their human
machinery? They run it at the high
est tension, feed 1t on stale air and
improper food and then become sur
prised If 1t runs down.

Good Advice.

"Talk less and say more,' is the ad-
vice given to a group of girls. No one
expects q girls conversation to be pro-
found and philosophical, but there Is
no doubt that more thinking before
speaking would make the words Of
many girls better worth hearing. The
trouble Is not that girls lack intelli-
gence, but that they are rather lazy
about using their brains.

COWLES FAMILY
HOLDS REUNION
Many Gather on Conspicuous Knoll
Where Picnic Is Held---Bit of
History Given

Two years have elapsed since the
members of the CoWles family have
enjoyed one of their social picnics.
Owing to the death of it's Oldest and
one of the most enthusiastic members,
Lewis CoW1es, who died in April, 1917,
the gathering was omitted that year.
On Wednesday, June 10, Mr.. and Mrs.
Wilbur Cowles entertained the mem
bers at their home southwest OF town.
The beautiful day, the spacious lawn
and the wonderful view Of the sur
rounding hills were certainly a rest to
one during these strenuous times.
More than fifty responded to the
call and were ready with excellent ap-
petites for the lunch, which was abun-
dant for the needs, and was also a
recommend for the housewives pres
ent. Had Hoover, himself, been pres
ent, he would have joined those about
the loaded table and forgotten his diff
ficulties and eaten substitutes with a
willing mind. AS usual there were
four generations present, the oldest
being Mrs. Lewis Cowles, 81, and the
youngest Chester Herwig, II months.
There were three present who were
at similar picnics of the Cowles fam
lily over fifty years ago. Of the fam
lily of ten children of Joel G. Cowles,
Mrs. Jennie Bentley was the only one
present and the only living daughter
Salmon Cowles of Montana and Ralph
Cowles of California are the only
living sons. The afternoon was spent
in social converse and music, and all
enjoyed the day.
Mrs. Leona Willett of La Grange
Ill, was present after an absence from
the circle of seven years. Mr.. and
Mrs. G. S. Williams Of Bucaramanga
South America, were present, also

LODI MAN MAKES
STATEMENT
Comes to Realize 1t is a Good
Thing to Support the Red Cross
and the Government i.

Some time ago the attention of the
authorities was brought to the conduct
of A. D. Jencks, who resides near Lodi
and who refused to help win the war.
The following statement in the Lodi
Enterprise tells how he has had a
change Of heart:
l publish this statement to express
my regret for the manner in which l
met the solicitors of the government
in the recent Liberty Loan campaign.
My action was caused by a mistaken
understanding and l wish to give as
surance that having become aware of
this, there will not be again such a
misunderstanding
l desire further to publicly express
my adherence to the country of my
birth and the birth of my ancestors
who fought in the American Revolu-
ton, and to give assurance that my
whole thought upon the war has been
her welfare. I confess here also to a
mistaken understanding and to a too
great assurance in my own judgment
of what was for the welfare of Ameri-
ca and her people. | now realize that
in such a time as this, united action is
the thing of first Importance, and we
must accept as wisest and right the
judgment of those who constitute the
government and give them united sup
port in the course they adopt for the
successful prosecution of the war.
My regret is keen that my manner
has been such as to affront the rep
of the government and of
fend my neighbors. l wish and shall
endeavor to assist and not retard the
government in it's great tasks. And |
hope to have the good will of my
neighbors and trust that this state
ment may clear up any misunder-
any may have of my motives
or of my loyalty in heart at all times
to our country's welfare.

NAME WORkER'
FOR ~. AlGN
S.
Baraboo to Raise About $l25,O 900
for War Savings Stamps---a
Good Investment Il
(By' A. C. Kingsford)

The War Savings Stamp Campaign
is on. Nothing but the most serious
necessity would justify another appeal
to the people for money at this time.
The government is in urgent need Of
funds and so the campaign which was
to have lasted through the entire year
is brought to a close Friday, June %.
The government is trying to raise
two billions of dollars. Of this amount
$637 $3.50 must be raised in Sauk cOun-
ty Baraboos quota is $125,000 minus
what we have already raised. This
will mean something like 100000
To raise this amount, at least two hun
dred people in this city must pledge
5000 and four hundred people must
pledge $1OO each. By $100 we mean
of course $100 maturity value. A $100
certificate costs $83.40 during June.
This will mean strenuous effort on the
part Of everybody.
Headquarters have been established
at the high school building. The city
campaign is in charge of A. G. Kings
ford. Miss Katherine Falvey will act
as chairman of the first ward commit
tee. Mrs Alfred Reiner and Miss
Fern Hackett will act as vice-chair-
men, The chairmen of the second
ward committee is Mrs. L. J. Barrett;
vice-chairman, Mrs. James Curry. The
second vice-chairman has not been ap-
pointed Miss Belle Potter is chair
man of the third ward The vice
chairman is Miss Lillian Reinking,
formerly principal of that ward, and
M. J. Coughlin. These committees
will be assisted by about forty solicit
Ors in each ward whose names will be
published later.
The War Savings certificate is the
very best investment offered by the
government. Not only are the denOm-
nations convenient and in reach of
all, but the interest is compounded
semi-annually and the government
virtually guarantees that they are al
ways "at par" The holder may cash
this certificate any time with a ten
day notice. Every man, woman and
child in BarabOo should own War
Savings certificate. Remember the
government needs the money. 1t must
have it. It is going to have it. The
only question is "Will you do your
share ?" Everyone should help the So
IicitOrs. Treat them courteously and
generously.
Remember, the subscription to the
War Savings Stamps is in no sense a
sacrifice 1t is gild-edged loan, with
the very best security in the world,
and with the privilege of having the
money refunded any time within ten
days. The maximum which can be
subscribed by any one is $1,000, which
any individual or corporation can
subscribe. We ought to have at least
twenty $1,000 subscriptions in Bara-
boo.

ROBERTS SHOULD
SERVE SENTENCE
Waukesha Judge Says He VIII Re-
ceive as Much Punishment as the
Law Can Give

The term of years to which Miss
Lusk was sentenced-six Jess than
the maximum and five more than the
minimum for second degree murder
paled in interest before the remarks
of Judge M. L. Lueck in pronouncing
sentence at Waukesha. This was be-
cause of the courts comment on the
one other living side of the triangle
DR.. Roberts. Judge Lueck said:
81 want to say that l have regret
one sincere regret-that l cannot
mete out to DR.. Roberts the punish
ment that | think he ought to have.
SO far as it is within my power, he
will receive as much punishment as
the law can give him. / have already
taken such steps as | could, to serve
the ends of justice.
BOTH ASSAILED SOCIETY
"'You and DIR. Roberts assailed so-
ciety at it's most sensitive and vulner-
able point--the home. You attacked
the home and tried to undermine the
position of Mrs Roberts. Neither Of
you had any business to do anything
that might deprive Mrs. Roberts of
those rights she became entitled to
when Dr. Roberts took her as his wife.
Some circumstances cast greater
blame upon DR.. Roberts than upon
you. Still you had no right to yield.
And so I do not believe the mini
mum sentence would meet the situa-
ton. You have done some things that
demand greater punishment. But Dr.
Roberts and men of his type should
not be encouraged, and so the maxi
mum sentence will not be imposed
''The question with me is what be-
tween would fit the situation. The
medium is difficult to decide. This is
matter of judgment, as to what is i
fair to you and right to society. The
best | can do is to make an honest
guess. Therefore, it is the sentence
of this court that you, Grace Lusk, be
sentenced to hard labor in the state
prison at Waupun for the term of
nineteen years, June FL of each year
to be spent in solitary confinement"
By good behavior, Miss Lusk can
reduce the sentence Of nineteen years
to ten years and ten months. At the
end of the first half Of her sentence,
nine years and six months, application
can be made for a parole. She may
apply to the governor for pardon at
any time, but an application for parole
must be approved by the state board
of control.
