thing like jaundice for some time.

could possibly wish for. It would do
credit to a bank in a town the size
OF Lexington, having conveniences
for its friends, equipped with
mahogany and marble fixtures. 1t is
model institution in every way, and no
one deserves more of the credit for
it rich and splendid success than its
popular cashier who is now forced
to be away and i'll just when his
plans are approaching fruitition.
Proceeding on the theory Of no work
no pay, State Treasurer Wallace has
announced that he will not pay Leg
islators their per diem for holidays
and Sundays, unless instructed by the
Attorney-General to make these pay
ments. Attorney General Dawson told
Wallace that he would have to look
into the question before giving his
opinion.

Several applications for citizenship at the
January term of court were laid over to next
term, more of them now than before the war, and
this is caused often from the inability of the appl
cants to successfully answer all the queries put
by the federal examiner. 1t is true enough that
our immigration and naturalization laws have
been very loosely applied in the past, and all cam
didates for citizenship should pass rigid test as
to the state Of regard that they have for this,
their adopted country. 1t could be rigid and yet
plain and understood by the foreign born work
considering the character of the examination
that he is supposed to answer offhand, possibly in
front of the largest crowd he ever stood before
Being unable to state what big national event

to know how many members there are in New
jerseys legislature as serious drawbacks to
mans capability for future citizenship as some of
the questions federal agent asked in the Villas
court room last June, and men who had lived hon
est upright and industrious lives in the county for
ten years and more and showed it in every line
of their countenances, were told they must wait
until they could pass the test Unless we are
mistaken great many of the naturalization ex-
perts would not cover themselves with glory if
asked some of the common every day problems
of logging ca .nps and sawmiIls and which every
worker therein could answer off the reel If it is
impossible to change the form of examination to
more practical one, then applicants are entitled

it is that, will not so publicly known.

Who's Got the Sugar :?

We hear it in the morning, and we
hear it late at night.
They wire it in, they fire it in, they
telephone and write,
From old and young, from far and
near.
Hark! hear the hills resound:
IF you haven't any SUGAR, then
you needn't come aroundp'
They tell us plainly what we are, and
often what we're not.
Some think we should be boiled in
oil, some say we should be shot;
But all agree with grim accord,
Tney meet on common ground
In shouting, without SUGAR, Bo,
you needn't linger 'round.o
When we mention tea or coffee we
receive the icy stare.
The old-time line of selling talk won't
get us anywhere.
For they want it by the carload, and
we get it by the pound,
So, when we're out of SUGAR, we
hate to jog around.
Last week a lucky salesman died-a
cuss named s'Sporty Lee"
St. Peter sent him down below; no
home above had he;
But when Lee reached old Nick's
abode,
He heard with JOY this sound:
"If you haven't brought some
SUGAR, Sport, you must't hang
around - Exchange.

A table recently published by the state tax
commission shows the valuation of Wisconsin
farm lands by counties, based on the record Of
sales and assessments for the years 1909, 1914
and 1919 places Villas county at the foot Of the
list with valuation Of $l2 Is an acre against
valuation of $18 so an ten years ago. The cas-
ual reader in Iowa, Illinois, even Wisconsin
would infer from the table that that this county
was hardly worth paying taxes on. The state
of course does not Intentionally convey this i'm
preston but tits there nevertheless, and caused /.
presumably from the decrease in ten years of
standing timber represented on the tax roll, while
the sale of improved farms as yet is inconsequen-
tial compared with the old settled counties where
transfers are matter daily record at constantly
advancing prices. The valuation tables ten years
hence will tell different story, and in the mean
time let's hope that standing at the foot of the class
will not prevent prospective settlers from coming
and seeing for themselves. Every acre in Villas
county will stand inspection as well as good many
acres in other counties that are listed much higher
thanks to the active demand for improved farm
lands
