DEMOCRAT TO
SUSPEND SOON

According to an announcement OF
the Sauk County Democrat this week
the paper will suspend with the last
issue of this year, virtually after being
in existence for forty years. The pa
per was established by Joshua G..
Ford on January 81, 1910. In 1886 it
was purchased by the late e. Aug.
Runge, Herman Grotophorst having
an interest in the paper part of the
time. Mr. Runge sold to E. L. Luc-
kow in 1894 and Mr.. Luckow to H. 3.
Quimby after the former went to
Washington a little less than eight
years ago. Mr. Quimby owned the pa
per but short time, selling to stock
company, r. J. Osborne conducting
the business. Mr.. Osborne states he
is suspending the paper in order to
give more attention to the other work
in connection with the office. The sus-
pension of the paper leaves the Dem
ocratic party in the county without an
organ.
The continued high price of print
paper does not tend to encourage the
publisher of a newspaper.

stock of seals succmbed, likewise

lingen collection, a remarkable. train
ed walrus, the last one of its kind in
captivity.
Naturally those at the head of the
Hagenbeck enterprise did all in their
mower to check the mortality among
the animals at the park. The food
stringency in Germany caused the
German Government to forbid giving
bread and grain to the animals, and
for long periods no meat or salt water
fish were obtainable for them, so the
Hagenbecks were compelled to seek
far and wide for substitutes. Fresh
water fish Instead of salt water fish
were fed to the sea manuals and sea
birds. but they showed violent dislike
for it. They fresh water fish were

Scarcity of Food During the World
Struggle Played Sad Havoc With
Unfortunates in Captivity

Hagenbeck's the worlds most fam
Gus emporium Of wild animals, has
closed it's doors. In the past Ringing
Brothers Of Baraboo purchased many
animals which had been owned by the
German firm. The great Hagenbeck
Park at Stellingenb near Hamburg
where exotic beasts from the remot
est parts of the earth were assem-
bled, has been added to the victims OF
the war After seeing scores of it's
most valuable animals perish of hun
ger because Germany's drastic war.
time food regulations precluded their
getting enough to eat, after losing
scores of others because lack of coal
caused them to freeze too death, the
Hagenbeck firm has given up for the
time being at least, the struggle 10
keep in business. And, in view of the
fact that Germany's loss Of colonies
and merchant marine makes it diff
cult for the firm to meet competition
from other countries, there is pos
sibility that Stellingen may remain
closed permanently and the name Of
Hagenbeck, for years renown through
out the universe, become only a mem
ory.
For some time items of news in
German and other European papers
have been limiting that Hagenbeck's s

and sea lions, hippopotami, giraffes
and monkeys with the wartime caus'

while soldiers were dying by thou
sands on the battlefelds of the war
hundreds of Hagenbeck's animals,
some of them unque among beasts in
captivity and worth thousands Of dol
lars apiece, were perishing in the
Stellingen park because of the straits
to which the war had brought them.
Since the armistice, too, the mortal
ity at Stellingen has continued until
the losses of the Hagenback firm
have aggregated a sum beyond which
it cannot go. Keepers in whom years
of constant association with wild
animals had bred genuine affection
for their charges have been forced to
stand helpless at Stellingen mOntfl
