a GREAT GARDENING YEAR.

Field agents of the National Wa
Garden Commission predict that tn,
Southern States, particularly Georgia
Florida and Alabama. will break al
gardening records this year. as re

Preparations for spring planting are
well in prospect. and in some district
well advanced. Thousands of per-cne
who learned their gardening a-b-c's
last year will renew their efforts witt.
heightened interest and confidence.
While veteran gardeners will welcome
acil-breaking and seed time with wont
I'd enthusiasm.
The home garden movement has
proved ncalcul2bly helpful both in
reducing food bills and in affordinG
recreation. The millions o.
dollars worth of vegetables thus pro

REFORM THE CALENDAR NEXT
Minneapolis Association Proposes to
Give Us L. Months

The American Equal Month Calen-
dar association, organized by 80 Min
neapolis men. has appealed TO the Jour
nal to help it reform the calendar. 1t
proposes to have Ii months of exactly
four weeks each, each month to com
mence on Monday. That would make
364 days.
AS there must be 800 days to equal
the time the earth requires to make a
complete circuit, New Years day is
made an Independent day, falling be-
tween the 31st of December and the
1St of January. December 81 will al
ways fall on Saturday. New Years
won't count and January l will fall on
Monday. The extra day in leap years
is to be taken care Of the same way.
1t is to be holiday and not to count
as part of any month
Among the savings claimed for the
plan is that it will not be necessary to
print new calendars each year as the
days of the month will always fall on
the same days of the week.
A bill putting the idea into effect has
been introduced in congress.-Stevens

MAJOR GENERAL PRAISES
SERVICE OFFERED BY "Y"

Spread upon the records of the
Third division, A. E. f., and just
brought to the attention of the ma
tional war work council of the Y. NJ.
c. A., is a general order issued by
command of Major General Dickman
which "Y" officials have hailed as an
emphatic answer to charges that Red
Triangle workers had avoided the dan.
ger zones in France and had wrung
eXOrbitant prices from the soldiers for
the comforts which the association had
sent overseas. General DiclTman di-
reoted that copy of the ord be sent
to every one of the thirty our men
and six women who went with the di-
vision through the fighting of Chateau
Thierry and along the Marine, TO ST.
Mihiel, and later into action north of
Verdun and along the Meuse.
The Y. M. c. A. has made public
General Dickman's order along with
a communication from Col J. C. Rhea
of another division which was in the
st. Mihiel fighting. Colonel Rhea gave
figures showing the large amount of
supplies which were distributed in his
division by "Y'' secretaries without
charge.

VOICES CONTEMPT
FOR FOE FIGHTERS
REPORTS OF FRATERNIZlNG BY
AMERICAN AND FOE TROOPS
DENIED BY RED TRIANGLE
WORKER.

ChicagO.-Reports of fraternizing OF
allied and foe troops following the
signing of the armistice on the western
front are denied in a letter from HI. B.
Stecher, Racine, Wis.,. received at the
offices of the national war work coun-
Gil, Y. M. C. A., here.
Stecher was Y. M. c. A. worker
attached to the Ninety-frst division.
He served for more than six months on
three fighting fronts-at ST. Mihiel.
in Flanders and the Argonne. Twice
he was cited for bravery and awarded
the d. S. C..
Before going to France to serve as
''Y" worker Stecher was associated
with the Hamilton Beach Manufacture
ing company at Racine. Formerly he
was a member of the California Ma
tional Guard when he was living in
Los Angeles, Cal. His parents, Mr..
and Mrs. M. D. Stecher, live in Chi
cago.
Referring to reports Of fraterniZing
of the troops Stecher says: Certain
~ tlicIC was uO ulteIupl VI ucSlfc Ol
the part of the men of our division to
fraterniZe with our much-despised OPP
ponents, and had there been, the Off
GERS would not have permitted it. AS
matter of fact the guns were going
right up to the time the armistice went
into effect. You see, our boys have
had mighty good chance to size up
the caliber of the other side, and had
the Germans shown any indications of
good craftsmanship in the fighting no
doubt we would feel some little re-
spect for them, Having been a dough-
boy myself in the past, and now hay
ing gone through all the fighting with
my division, believe my viewpoint is
the same as that of the majority of
our division, and, personally, I have
the utmost contempt for the German
soldier his methods and his ideals"

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local app1catfOnS, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion Of the ear. There is
only one way to cure catarrhal deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedy.
Catarrhal Deafness is caused by in
famed condition Of the mucous lining Of
the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
perfect hearing. and when 1t is entirely
closed, Deafness Is the result. Unless the
Inflammation can be reduced and this tube
restored to its normal condition. hearing
will be destroyed forever. Many cases of
deafness are caused by catarrh. which is

the blood on the mucous surfaces of the
system.

SHOCKING MURDER
AND THEN SUICIDE

A most shocking murder and suicide
| occurred a few miles southeast OF
Ridgeland last Friday afternoon be-
tween four and five o'clock, when
Gust Wigen shot and killed Miss Cora
Baland. daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Geo
Baland. then turned the revolver to ms
own head, killing himself instantly
Wigen was 40 years old, bachelor. and
had lived on farm about a mile from
the Baland home for many years.
Cora Baland was IL years and 10
months old.
On the day Of the tragedy Wigen was
at the Baland home for dinner. and
wanted the girl to go to his house and
do some washing for him. When he
was asked to bring the washing over,
he said the house also needed clean
ing and wanted the girl to go home
with him. Accordingly Cora and her
brother, Arnold, IA years old, went to
the Wigen home where the work Vas
done AS the two children were pre-
pairing to start for home. Wigen de-
manded an explanation from the girl,
it is said about accepting attention
from young men. She gave him no
satisfaction and he pulled a revolver
and shot her, the bullet striking her
arm below the elbow. inflicting only
a slight flesh wound. The girl ran
from the house screaming. Wigen fol
lowing her. Arnold grabbed the man
and tried to stop him, but could not.
AS the girl turned around the corner
of the house he shot the second time.
striking her in the hips. The third
and fourth shots hit her in the back.
passing through the heart and lungs.
killing the girl almost instantly.
Wigen then returned to the house,
sat down on the bed and reloaded his
revolver. Arnold. who had been hid
ing in the house. too frightened TO
know what to do, ran out when he
saw Wigen re-loading his gun. When
he saw that he was not followed he
returned to the house and peered
through the window just in time TO see
Wigen pull the trigger Of his gun and
kill himself The boy ran home and
told what had happened and returned
with his father. The girls body was
removed to her home. The funeral
services were held on Wednesday from
the Lower Pine Creek church. Rev.
Llnd officiating.
The Baland family consisted of the
father and mother, five girls and two
boys. and they have lived in the same
place for many years. They were
widely known well-tO-dO farmers and
good neighbOrS.
Gust Wigen was 45 years old. had
lived on the same place practically all
his life. and had always been on the
best of terms with the Baland family,
often going there to help out when
they needed work or any of the family
was sick. While it appears that he
must have been in love with the girl
and very jealous. his actions were
never such as to create suspicion. His
funeral services were held on Monday.

EXECUTIVE MANSION
is HISTORIC HOUSE

The Governors residence at Madi-
son was built over sixty years ago, and
during its first quarter century was
under private ownership. Shortly be-
fore the Civil War the house was pur-
chased from its builder by General G..
L. Delaplaine He had been secretary
to three governors of Wisconsin, and
during the war was Inspector general
Of state troops. His home thus be-
came the resort of many army officers
on duty at Madison. In 1866 Della
plaine sold the house to a wealthy Eau
Claire llmberman, named Thorpe, who
had been elected TO the state senate.
His daughter. Sara. married Ole Bull,
the famous Norwegian musician. and
thus the place become Bulls home and
the scene of much hospitality. After
the great musicians death in 1880 the
house stood empty for some months.
En- 1882 General Jerry Rusk bought
it, lived in it during his term as govern
or. and i'm 1885 sold it to the state for
Il permanent mansion.
