LOVE OF THE AUTUMN SEASON
The Time of Ripening, Yellow Fields
And Varigated Woodland Tints

eve suspect we are aging, for we
each year love the autumn season
more and have less yearning for the
stirring saps, and blossoms of spring,
and less vigorous delight inthe icy
sparkle of old Boreas. In autumn we
feel the God of the yellow hills bend
ing a Bit nearer to US. There is
peace stealing over the valleys, these
golden autumn days; a peace as un-
varying and as serene as those
straight rising slender columns Of
blue, that lazily steal from the Chin
neys of the DOING countryside. At the
end Of summer the little streams have
lost their tumult and their passions.
They slip away in slender shrinking
lines of orange and silver, scarcely
enough Of movement, or of blood with
in them to float the brilliant leafy
ships that come tumbling down from
maple and from beach A time Of
ripeness; yellow fields; dry rustling
rows of fodder, whispering; floating
hawks and crows, almost motionless
in the serenity above. A time of in
trospection of counting up the years
harvest, of communing with your
soul"

The Coon Valley Farmers Tele-
phone Company operating exchanges
at Coon Valley, Chaseburg and Stod-
dard, applied to the Railroad Com
mission on August /, 1919, for author
ity to increase its rates from $3.75
per quarter to $3.50 per quarter these
rates being gross). The company
based its application upon the fact
that the minimum wage order of the
Industrial Commission will increase
its labor costs about 81 $50 per year,
and other expenses have been increas-
ed $500. The Commission made a
careful examination of the eompany's
accounts and operation methods and
found that the. increase asked for was
justified, in view of the fact that the
book value of the company's proper
ty, less depreciation, is $16,372.98. In
an order issued, this week, the COM
mission authorized the following new
schedule:
Business, residence and rural tel
ephones $3.50 per quarter with SIS
rebate if paid during the first month
of the quarter, $50 if paid during the
second month and $.25 rebate if paid
during the third month; if bills are
not paid by the end of the quarter in
which the service is rendered the
gross amount shall be due.

BE CAUTIOUS, EXTRAORDINARY
U. S. Health Service Urges Against
Return of Flu

Every community is urged by the
United States health service to make
plans now for dealing with any recur-
renee of the influenza. 1t seems that
mild attack confers certain degree
of immunity, but it is by no means alb
solute One thing is certain, says the
service, the disease is communicable
from person to person, and that pre-
cautions should be taken in a proper
handling of eating and drinking uten-
sis. In some cities the matter has
been the subject Of regulation as far
as public eating places are concerned.
Plenty of hot water and soap for the
hands and utensils, clean towels, in
dividual drinking cups and staying
home if a person has cold are safe
precautionary measures that may be
practiced by all

FARM, STOCK AND DAIRYNoTEs

A. B. Swiggum If Westby bought
a Guernsey animal at the Tobey sale
held at Sparta, when 10 cows and heif-
ers were sold, averaging 1894. The
top COW brought S805.
J. w. Norris of Round Prairie while
taking a very heavy Poland China
SOW into the show ring on the fair
grounds, the animal sickened and
died She was valuable brood SOW.
That was certainly hard luck for Mr..
Norris.
The dairy farmer not only studies
how to feed his COW, but how to feed
his land He is not a soil robber,
as he realizes that the farmer who
reduces the fertility of his land robs
without reason, since he steals from
himself.
Pork has taken a heavy slump of
late. The market is around II to 10
cents on foot. About two months ago
the top record price was paid, S2f.00
per hundred.
Richland county breeders returning
from the Sparta Tobey Guernsey sale,
stopped at the Vergeront farm on
Round Praire ard made purchase of
three full blood Guernsey animals.
At the La Crosse fair, J. D. How
arth Of De Soto and Frank Outcelt
&Son Of Genoa took front rank among
horse exhibitors. The first named had
one first and one second. The Out
celts took FIVE first and one second
premiums.
On Tuesday Blaine Wheeler made
shipment Of a fine bunch Of his prem
Jun Duroc pigs, for which he re-
ceived 500 each. Two went TO Mime
sofa, two to Iowa, one TO Frank Out
ceIt of Genoa. There were four boars
and one gilt.

made against Peter Fauske Of Purdy

A state fire marshal made the arrest

alleged offense charged is of burning

and his acquaintance hope that he
may establish his innocence.

RUN DOWN AT THE HEEL
(H. s. Jenison, In Florida Times.
Union.)

W. .. JculSOH, Ill rlOTlud llHoS-
Union.)
Walking for a short distance behind
a man whose shoes were run down 1t
the heel, the question arose: Does
that reprehensible condition indicate
a run-down-at-the-heel temperament,
or is it merely the result Of much
friction with the pavement"
One should not be too hosty in ar
irving at q conclusion. A mans
working regalia must be adapted to
his occupation. He who Is employed
in a garage, or who is engaged in
fertilizing a citrus grove, would not,
If in rational state of mind, wear
garments suitable for Office work
The job on hand sometimes necessi
tates presenting an unpleasing feature
in life's moving picture; bat the man
who is clean of mind removes the
CRIME and dust as soon as practic-
able-even as a locomotive Is run
into the round house for cleaning
after its run.
Burns said: "A mans a man for a.
that" And clothes should not be re.
garded as an index Of character ex-
cept in connection with the man who
is able to appear IN pleasing attire,
and yet goes looking like hobo, from
choice. He being of run-down-at-
the-heel mentality, and having no re-
spect for himself, is not entitled to
the respect of others.
It is self-evident that the quality
and make of mans suit exert an
influence which should be given con-
sideration. The consciousness OF ap-
pearing at ones best outwardly Is, In
most instances, an aid in doing the
best: while to unnecessarily enact
the SLOUGH is to proclaim the sioVehiy
temperament.
Even wickedness, when attractive
ly CARRIED, has increased power FOL
evil. 1t is as true now as 1t was
when Shakespeare wrote:
plate sin with gold,
And the strong lance OF justice
hurtless Breaks
Clothe 1t with rags,
A pigmy's straw doth pierce It,"
Considering the subject as an en-
tirety, and in view of mans prone
ness to Judge by the outward appear
ance, it is expedient to appear as pre-
sentable as circumstances will JUSTIFY
