I love the Iowa Porker,
GORGEOUS AUTUMN

October is here and the trees will
soon be a riot of color; the Master
Painter will soon be breathing upon
them. Already the sumacs are flaming
reds while some of the larger plants
are becoming gorgeous in color Soon
after Jack Frost places his fingers on
the deep greens they will turn to
gold Or other wonderful colors. After
this month more piercing will be the
blasts, shorter will be. the days, less
will be the attractiveness of the out
of doors. In this attractive period of
the year why not take every advantage
of the bright days to obtain store
of ozone before the autumn season has
fully passed. A mile or so from Bara-

THE DEATH CAR

The amazing death toll of the auto
mobile, as revealed at meeting of the
National safety council at Atlantic
City, is we'll calculated to arouse as
constituent as we'll as horror. The
statistics show that the automobile
is responsible for one death in the
United States every thirty-five minutes
an aggregate of about $1,000 year.
Automobile fatalities are roughly
divided into two classes; those in
which the drivers or passengers meet
death and those in which pedestrians
are the victims. In nine cases out of
ten the dread consequences are the
result of carelessness, sometimes on
the part of the victim, but, unfortun-
ately, more often on the part of the
drivers.
With nearly 100000 cars in use
in the United States which is the

Ter, who operates a large ranch near
Verde, has invented new type OF
harness which not only eNntinates
the cumbersome and CALLING "hOrse
collar" but, it is claimed, greatly IA
cilitates the pulling ability Of an ami
NAL BY distributing the load more
equally over the horses body it en-
ables it to pull more weight with
much less effort. Obviously, the appli-
cation Of force to one or two points Is
not SO efficient in accomplishing
given result as it's distribution over
half a dozen points, and this is what
the new harness is said to do. AS de-
scribed In the Boston Transcript, there
are pads on the chest, on the back
above the shoulders, on the back just
forward of the tail and straps grip the
animal closely on the belly and on
the rump. Thus the efficiency Is in
creased many fold.
In addition to the greater amount
of pulling surface utilized, the arrange
ment of the harness is such that the
harder the horse exerts himself the
more firmly he holds himself to the
ground. In other words, the more
traction he gets. In the old style, the
pull was from the shoulders alone d.
rectly to the load, and only the weight
of the horse held him On the road. With
he new device the pull is divided so
that part of it, coming on the back,
exerts a downward force on the ami
NAL, so that the harder the pull the
more firmly are the horses hind legA
held to the pavement, precisely as
though a heavy weight were placed on
the rump. Mr.. Kohler thinks that a
horse will pull more if his hind legs
are held to the road by some external
force than if he were lifted off his
feet by his TAIL
The inventor brought his harness
to New York recently and began to
demonstrate it to various large users
of horses. 1t was approved by the
chief veterinarian Of the metropolis
and was tried by such concerns as
Swift and Company Colgate and Com
pany and the American Express Com
pany.
Thomas Lynch, superintendent of
stock for the Ringing Brothers and
Barnum and Bailey Circus, has also
given the harness trial and likes

THE CROWDED HIGH SCHOOL

Education is the key to democracy
That the Baraboo High schools and
other schools all over the land are
crowded is a good omen. The schools
Of America cost much but all are will
ing to pay the price. American tradi-
tons are against the ruling class and
for that reason the eeopie must show
the world they are able to govern ----
govern better than autocrats. Govern
ment by the people must be intelli-
gent, must be efficient, and for that
reason an education must be at the
bottom of political rule in this coun-
try. Liberal education is the great
foundation for successful democracy.

THE GOOD OLD DAYS

A venerable physician Of Indianap-
oils dug up an old household mem
orandum book the other day, while
he was rummaging around in his
garrett. His wife had kept her ac-
counts in it when they were first
married forty or fifty years ago. AS
he looked over it his jaws came
apart, and he nearly had a fit. The
prices Of groceries and meat and such
things, as set down In that book,
when compared with the prices OF
the present time, were enough to
make man send in a riot call to the
police station. says the Emporia
Gazette.
The grand old doctor carried his
note book to the oAfTce Of the Daily
News, and the editor read 1t and
made "a story of it. Think of buying
a dressed chicken for fifteen cents!
Think of buying a large cured ham
for $3.50! The doctor used to do it
in the halcyon days when he began
housekeeping. When he considered
such figures, and then looked at the
last bills he received from the groc-
cry and meat market he felt like re-
sorting to violence.
! But the doctor failed to make due
allowance for the fact that If the but.
cher and grocers get more for their
wares nowadays, so do the physicians
People usually forget such things
when bewailing the grand old days.
If that fine old gentleman had the us
ual experience of the doctors of fifty
years ago, he must know that dollar
then looked as big to him as a Ferris
wheel He probably had to make long
journeys into the country to carr a
few of his dollars, and then wait a
year or two before he got them. Doc
tors, like editors and many others, had
to take out a good share of their earn
ings in trade, and the sight of real
! money was unusual. The average doc
tor of today can afford to pay $40 for
ham better than his grandfather
could afford to pay $3.50.
Everything we eat and wear costs
a great deal more than it used to
cost when the world was young and
happy, but our earning capacity has
/ increased co1responGingly, and SO
there's really no kick coming.

ONE. BENEFIT OF THE WAR

Out of the maze of changing con-
ditions, out of the stress and strife
which has caused pain to many, out
Of the high prices of wages and ne
cessfties, will come certain improve
ments to stay. Many want the COM
mon sense days of 1914 but the days
of 1914 will never return in all their
particulars. AS the result of higher
wages many have learned to live un-
der better conditions and this cannot
readily be changed. The husband may
become divorced from his silk shirt
and the wife may get along without
her silk skirt, but the bathtub and a
few other things which mean cleaner
and happier lives will stay The ouija
board may be reduced to kindling
but the photograph will be a source of
comfort and enjoyment AS a result of
the war some have found new Injuries
which will become necessities and
these will stay. Times will go back a
little but not all the way to 1914, and
improved conditions of living is one

FORD GARAGE
IN new HOME

The Ford garage. Orriel Philbrick,
proprietor, has moved from Oak
street to the new home on Third ave-
nue. just west of the Baptist church.
Mr.. Philbrick purchased the building
from Moeller brothers about one year
ago and since then the structure has
been remodeled. There was a delay In
installing the elevator and since then
the firm has been so busy there was
no opportunity to change the office
and cars to the new home.
Mr.. Philbrick has spared no expense
in arranging the building for every
convenience. The main floor is occu-
pied by the office, the store room for
accessories and surplus cars.
The floor above is the repair shop
and storage for cars. Here there will
be steam heated paint room.
The basement is occupied by the
furnace and storage.
The rooms are flooded with light
and the location is in the center of
the automobile business in Baraboo,
three other garages being near. The
firm carries an exceptionally large
stock Of accessories besides plenty of
new cars and Fordson tractors.
With the reduction in the price Of
cars a large business is anticipated
and in order to reduce cost to a min
imum the cash basis in business has
been adopted.
