BARABOO WINS
MORE VICTORIES
Local Basket Ball Team Defeats
Portage Wednesday Night, the
Score Being 60 to 81

The Baraboo high school five more

when they won from the basket bali
team from that city by score of 60

defeated at Portage ea.ly in the sea-

essary to play them again to entitle
Baraboo to go to the tournament at

BY far the greater part of the COM
plants concerning the inefficiency of
the bureau of war risk insurance have
had to do with the non-receipt of al
lotment checks by soldiers relatives
and other dependents. But Congress-
man Luther W. Mott of New York re-
lates an experience that shows a few
mfstages are made on the other side
OF the ledger. In Mr. Motifs district
is woman whose husband was dis
charged from the service seven months
ago. Yet the first of every month she
received a check from the bureau for
$50. For each of seven months she
has returned this check, explaining
that her husband is no longer in the
army, but the next month inevitably
brings another check. From his expe-
rience in hundreds of other cases at
the bureau Mr.. Mott thinks it likely
that in the near future this woman
will receive another letter from Wash
ington telling her that seven checks
have been sent to her by mistake, and
that she is expected to reimburse the
government to the extent of $210.-

OF an alligator picnic. The item in

sion on the Little Ocklawaha river

last Monday on the Dixie, Captain
Bassett in charge. A perfect day, with
light breezes and warm sun, brought
out the gators" in large numbers and
a total Of 105 was seen during the
round trip. This is perhaps the larg
est number ever seen in one day in
this vicinity, with Is miles Of Eustis
and every gator was seen by no less
than from three to eight members OF
the party, the smallest being about
one foot in length and the largest
about twelve feet. One large one was
so big he could not get in the bushes
to get away and had to turn complete
ly around and face the boat again be
fore disappearing under the water
Another large one was lying on a tree
limb at least two feet above the wa
ter. Three and four were seen sew
eral times at one spot and it kept the
counters busy to get them all. Miss
Sarah Bassett and several others led
in trying to keep the turtles and ducks
from getting counted, and no doubt
some gators were missed in trying
to make fair count. Altogether, il
was a great Dixie" day and no doubt
this record will stand for a long time
to come.
