MORE PLAY AND LESS
WORK

The young of all species play.
Through play, they develop instincts
into habits of life, becoming educated
by play for life. work. This is true of
animals and of children. When little
girls play with dolls, they learn many
valuable lessons in housekeeping and
baby tending.
In the reflex movement of a baby's
arms and legs comes the child's first
play. These movements are the baby's
manner of exercising his muscles and
should not be hampered by his cloth
ing. If three months old baby has
not begun TO use his arms and legs
quite vigorously, his motner has cause
for some concern.
Play contributes to most of the i'm
mediate needs of childhood. Play
supplies for the child, exercise in the
open air, appetite for plain food, and
inclination and capacity for long
hours of untroubled sleep. On the
mental side, play makes its contribu-
ton also by filling the mind with
wholesome interest and affording op-
portunities for quick accurate deci-
sions. The child at play schools his
muscles. fills his lungs with fresh air,
|and develops memory, imagination.
and reasoning power, all in joyous
unconsciousness of the far-reaching
results OF his spontaneous activity.
In Spain. prevalence of lottery and
other lazy games of chance is said to
have contributed to the growth of a

ABOUT SEEDS

"Be careful where you order your
seeds" says County Agent, F. c.
Swoboda. This bit of caution can we'll
be taken seriously by every Marathon
county farmer who sends away for all
or only part of his seeds.
While Wisconsin has very rigid seed
inspection laws unfortunately all
provisions of these laws cannot be
made to apply to shipments into the
state. The careful buyer will look
carefully to where he makes his pur-
chases.
A warning letter recently sent out
by the seed inspectors department of
the state calls attention to two COM
paEies, both heavy advertisers, that
have been found guilty of rather dis
honest practices. One company in
cluded fifteen per cent of yellow sweet
clover in one of it's clover seed mix
lures. This sweet clover obtainable
at around three cents per pound was
mixed in to make about a fourth of
the mixture which was sold at regular
clover prices.
Wisconsin has a number of very
reliable seed houses whose dealings
cover the state. Then there are
scores of smaller concerns. In every
city and village of the county are
firms which handle seeds. They are
all subject to state laws. Seeds
handled by them must conform to de-
fnitely prescribed standards as to
termination, purity and freedom from

HERE FROM WASHINGTON

VIM. Heinemann of Addy, Wash
ington, is visiting his father, Joseph
Heinemann and his sisters, Mrs. VIM.
Waterhouse and Mrs. Celia Braun in
this city. He expects to remain here
Ia couple of weeks and will visit his
old home town, Athens, and will go to
Milwaukee and other points to see rel
atiyes. 1t has been seventeen years
since he left this county for the west.
He is the owner of ranch of 800
acres which is located in beautiful
valley and the soil is adapted to rails
ing all the substantial grains and
vegetables. He has never seen better
crops than is raised where he is To-
Gated 1t is a great alfalfa growing
country, as three crops can be raised
in one season. Mr. Heinemann has
120 acres of his ranch under cultiva-
tion and 200 acres on the mountain
side is covered with yellow pine, fir,
tamarack and cedar, principally the
former. He also operates a saw mill,
doing his logging in the winter and
saving in the spring. He cuts moth
ing but the large trees and gets out
much timber for ship building, bridges
etc. TO give an idea of the size of the
trees, he cut one recently from which
he took eight logs and they scaled
$500 feet. He saw many of the logs
which are being sawed in Wausau and
being manufactured into lumber and
said they did not cut such small tim
ber in the west.
1t is his present intentions to dis
pose of his farm lands, purchase more
timber and enter more extensively in
to the manufacture of lumber.
Mr.. Heinemann says there are quite
number of former Marathon County
people near where he is located and,
strange as it may seem, none want to
come back. He says it is a paradise
for the sportsman; there is no better
trout fishing in this country than can
be found there. Deer are there in
abundance and thrive in the forests
on mountains and plain. The woods
are full of birds, akin to our partridge
and the ducks are very plentiful in
season.
Mr.. Heinemann's wife passed away
at Athens many years ago. Mr..
HeinemaEn when he went west took
his three boys and one daughter with
him and now all have grown to ma
turity. The oldest boy was in the U.
S. service during the world war and
was severely wounded in one of the
TALLY recovered and is now attending
school in the West. Mr.. Heinemann
finds many of his old friends here
and sees great growth in the coun-
ty seat.

MYSTERIOUS DEATH IN PORTAGE
COUNTY.

Mrs. Anna Busa of Mill Creek, Por-
tage County, was found dead at the
bottom of the stairway at her home.
To all appearances she had fallen
downstairs and therewa a broken bot
tie labeled Medicinal Alcohol"
There is suspicion of foul play. 1t
seems that there was party at the
Busa home on Sunday night in which
alcohol entered into the festivities.
Mrs. Anna Busa was siXty-five years
of age, and besides having bruises on
her body her face was badly battered
This might have happened when she
fell down stairs. Her son John Busa
was in a hospital in Stevens Point
suffering from indigestion and stom-
ach trouble having admitted drink
ing too much alcohol on that occasion.
John Busa the son, has been arrested
on suspicion and lodged in jail.
NeighOors say that deceased was bois-
ferrous and intoxicated on Saturday
night.
At meeting of the Chamber of
Commerce at Grand Rapids, it was
the concensus of opinion that the
name of Grand Rapids" be changed

GREAT DRIVE AGAINST
PROHIBITION

The greatest legal drive against
any law or any part of the constitu-
tion in the history of the country ap-
pears looming up in the many at
tacks being made or prepared against
constitutional prohibition. Govern
ment attorneys estimated it will be
two years before it will be known def
initely whether constitutional pTohi-
bition stands on any firm legal foun-
datiOn, but they hold out no hope Of
any lifting of the lid before that time.
The avenue of attack on prohibition
most likely to succeed, prominent
government attorneys say, is through
the word concurrent" appearing in
the amendment 1t states that con-
gress shall have concurrent powers to
enforce the amendment. This might
be construed to mean that each state
would have to agree to the beverage
that could be prohibited in its terri
tory. If the state decided to allow
light beer and wine TO be sold the
court might hold it had the right un-
der the amendment.
81 do not believe the court would
go so far as to authorize the old wet
days in any state but it might agree
the state had the right to tilt the lid
considerably" one prominent attorney
said
The attacks on constitutional prOhi-
bition are along the following lines:
That prohibition is not valid sub
ject for q constitutional discussion
and that it would not be legally
adopted
That the Volstead law enforcing
it and prohibiting all beverages con-
tanning 1a% or more of alcohol is not
constitutional
That the amendment cannot be en-
forced in any state against it's will
This is to be determined as well as
the first two questions in the suit brot
in the court by Rhode Island
That states by public referendum
can override the action of the state
legislature and thus withdraw pro-
hibitive ratification of the eighteenth
amendment.

very PLAIN that after the attempted
RECESSION of it, and the attempted pas
sage of the second franchise, in April
|of 1907, representatives of the village
and representatives of the street rail-
way company made and agreed
upon compromise terms which appear
here in their records in writing, re-
lating to the location of tracks; and
the tracks down to the bridge
were located in accordance Herewith,
and so far as the evidence shows, are
right where they were originally
located. There is no escape from that
conclusion. And at the time when
the tracks were being built south
from the bridge, it appears here by
uncontradicted evidence that there
were continuing conferences be-
tween the representatives of the viii
lage and representatives of the rail-
road company; arrangements about
grading the street, about building re-
tanning wall, about the location of
the tracks, and they were on and built
them in accordance with the negoti-
atoms and supervision of the rep
representatives. of the village.
Now, assuming that the village
had a right in the first instance to
have something to say about the To-
cation OF the tracks under the first
ordinance; they have exercised that
right. They have agreed where they
should be located. And once located
and the money expended for building,
the contract is closed. There is no
escape from that that 1 can see
Il don't think it is necessary to pass
upon the other propositions that have
been put up here. 1t is very clear to
the Court that there is nothing this
jury can pass upon. There is no dis
pute of fact in the case, except on
the amount of ballasting, and that is
immaterial to our issues. Otherwise
the facts are entirely undisputed, or
so nearly so that there is, upon the
questions that have been framed here
for the jury to pass upon, no dispute
THE tracks were located in accor-
dance with authorized authority-au-
thoriZed direction of the represent
tatives of the village So as 1 say,
gentlemen of the jury, there is moth
ing for you to pass upon in this case
There is no relief the Court can grant
tn plaintiff in any view of this evil
dence, and the jury is discharged.
Judgment will go for the defend
