"EMPoRY TO THE RESCUE"

After the philosophy of the Lyon
County attorney who has just ruled
that chorus girls legs detrimental to
farm boys do not seriously affect city
boys, perhaps Indiana can work out a
solution Of it's ballot law requiring a
showing Of Is inches of legs beneath
the curtain in the voting booth by
making this requirement apply only
in city precincts. s.-Ottawa Herald.
What does our county attorneys

Legs vs.. City Legs settle in Ottawa's
case? Ottawa is neither town nor
county; it is a wide hard place smear
ed across the road to Kansas City,
too small for a town and too weedy
for agriculture. In any discussion as
to the merits of rural or urban legs
Ottawa can only put her glass eye to
the crack in the fence and imag ne

THEY HAD THEIR FUN

The lads who took the money to
throw" the ball games last year
doubtless thought there is nothing
in life that money will not buy They
figured it out that this is a material
world, and that what you have, not
what you ought to get, makes you
happy Well they got it. They spent
the money, had Their run, and now
probably they won't go to jail. But
they are beginning to realize that this
is not a material world. There are
spiritual values vastly more profound
and important than material things.
Money doesn't count much; the fun
you can get out Of money is not
much Nothing really matters in the
world but the spiritual values And the
most important thing in life the
thing that makes for happiness and
for real success is loyalty! The crook
after everything is stripped from
his sin, is merely a traitor to some
cause or some friend or some institu-
ton.

HOW CHEAP

The Democratic campaign this
year is the cheapest show America
ever has seen. The candidate, the
the issues all are shod-
dy and impossible. The Republicans
have no great shakes; they lack a
lot Of being classic performance,
but at least they haven't got the
clown cast as the elephant, the dog
faced boy as ring master, and one OF
the tent hands as the ten thousand
dollar beauty. Cox has been making
Republican votes every minute Of
the day since his nomination. Why
he should think the Republicans
needed Is million dollars to put
over with Cox running
against him and Wilson'S record be-
hind him, is too deep for us.

REEDSBURC wins
FROM BARABOO
Second City Football Team Takes
Local Players by Storm at City
Fairgrounds

The Reedsburg High school foot
school by storm after the first half
Saturday afternoon at the local fair
grounds. The final score was 35 to
7.
The visitors and their forward pass
es proved too much for the locals, who
could not gain territory unless
through straight football. Reedsburg
players started the game with for
ward pass which brought them only
few PAGES from the goal. The pill
was put over the Baraboo posts and
the visitors kicked goal. While the
first half was yet in progress the
local squad carried the ball from the
20 yard line straight to the Reedsburg
goal for touchdown number two. The
goal was kicked and the score stood
z to Z.
The second half was much differ
ent, however and Reedsburg work
ed pass after pass for gains Of 20
yards The touchdowns were put over
in rapid succession by the visitors.
Baraboo gave up hope then and be-
came careless. Two more additions of
seven points each made the game re-
suit in the visitors favor Coach
Bogard for Baraboo made. several
changes in the lineup for the last few
of play. The Baraboo coach
states that his team was outclassed

they failed to hold the locals on
straight football.
The Reedsburg payers were ac-

STRANGER FAILS
TO GET GOODS

A few day ago a stranger came to
town with hard luck story. He
went to the Hoppe. clothing store and
said that he had lost all of his cloth
ing except the garments he had on.
He had no money but desired a pur-
chase sent to Hustler by c. o. u. eX-
press and he would obtain money to-
pay at the express office. He went to
the Brewer Rowland Shoe company
with the same tale and arranged to
have two pairs of shoes sent with the
clothing. The purchase at the Hoppe
pair of shoes to $24 making total
Of $94. The goods were sent as di-
rected, supposing everything to be
all right. When the package arrived
at Hustler the agent took it home
with hin at night for safe keeping and
when he returned to the office in the
morning he found there had been a
caller during the night but since the
purchase made at Baraboo was not in
the office the property was safe. It
is presumed the person who visited
the express office at night was one
and the same individual who was in
Baraboo. He may not have the nerve
to call for the package in the regular
way and if he does not the property
will be returned to Baraboo.
1t is said that for the past six
months criminals have been perform
ing this trick They go to a large
town, make a purchase, have it SEM
C. o. D. to a small express office, rob
the office at night, and in that way
secure the goods desired. The man
who visited Baraboo made sure that
he had good fit in everything and
had the little game worked successful
ly he would now be walking around
in new fall outfit
In case it is shown the express
company has used ordinary care in
handling goods they cannot be made
to- make good the loss. The receipt
given the patron at the time the
goods are accepted states plainly all
conditions and shippers should be
familiar with these. In the Baraboo
case there is no loss.

SECOND TEAM
BEATS KILBOURN

Several auto loads from Baraboo
went to KiIbourn yesterday to see
the high school second team defeat
Ki1bourn at football. Soon after the
start of the game it was apparent that
the Columbia county village team
was no match for the Baraboo boys
and Coach Bogard made many substi-
tutions in the line up using as many
as thirty different players and finish
ing the contest with Baraboo's third
team. The final score was SIS TO II, the
Kilbourn lads managing to get two
touchdowns against the third team.
An auburn haired lad by the name OF
Thorn starred for KiIbourn and sue
ceeded in breaking up several OF
Baraboo's plays. There were more
people from Barabo0 present to see
the game than there were from xii
bourn.

TURKEYS HIGH
And SCARCE
This SEASON

The turkey gobbler, usually pop
ular guest along about this time of
the year, will be little known to the
1920 Thanksgiving and Christmas
day feasters. The reason for the
scarcity of these national birds on the
dinner tables this season is that a
general shortage Of the succulent
fowls now exists. Although the first
sad tidings to this effect came from
the reports at the meeting sof the Ma
tional Poultry, Butter and Egg as
sociation held in Chicago last week,
the shortage is to be a nationwide
one, and lovers of tits particular
bird will no QGGbt suffer acuteIy.
