FRED is PEEvED

Bro. Fred O. Barrett of the Osceola
Sun had some chickens stolen from
his coop recently, and the following
item, which appeared in last weeks
SUM-" would indicate to close stu
dent of human nature that Fred was
somewhat peeved. Fred says:
Last Monday night about two
o'clock, some low down, good-for
nothing pup entered my chicken-coop
and made his getaway with about SO
nice Plymouth Rock Chickens.
eff there is anyone we despise it
is the man who is so low down and
worthless as to steal chickens. If
said person wants to steal for gosh
sakes take something that would be
a little might worth while.
'sWe hope that when the chicks
are old enough to eat, the guy who
stole them chokes to death while
eating them; we would be delighted
to go to his funeral, then we would
know who took them and that he will
steal no more chicks in this world"

MARK TwAIN'S SPIDER

In his early days, Mark Twain, the
author of "Tom Sawyer and "Huck
leberry Finn" was editor of small
town newspaper. One day he reeeiv-
ed letter from superstitious sub
scriber telling how he had found a
spider in his newspaper and asking
whether it meant good or bad luck.
Mark Twain wrote as follows: Find
ing a spider in your newspaper was
neither good nor bad luck for you. The
spider was merely looking over our
paper to see which merchant was not
advertising, so that he can go to that
store, pin his web across the door and
live life of undisturbed peace ever
afterwards"
Are spiders commencing to weave
their webs in your doorway? A sure
cure for cobwebs is customers-and
advertising in your local newspaper
will bring them to you in increasing
numbers.

A BATH HOUSE FUND

A majority, in fact large major
ity of the bathers at the Prescott
beach evenings during the present
heat wave have been from River
Falls, and we are certain that these
people appreciate the, Accommodations
which are afforded by the bath hous-
es which have been erected there.
There are two bath houses, and a
sign on one of them states that the
other has not as yet been paid for,
and asks for small contributions to-
ward the expense. Last evening there
was one signature on this petition
and that was Prescott man.
The people of the city of Prescott
have erected these bath houses for
the convenience of out-of-town visit
ors, and.the journal is informed from
there that they nave no idea of ask
ing visitors for donations.
However, as so many from here
use the beach and the bath houses, we
feel that perhaps many River Falls
folks would like to donate, and we
are sure such donations would be ac-
certable.
Anyone wishing to donate a dollar
to this fund mail it direct to the Bank
of Prescott or leave it at the Jour-
nal office, and we will mail it, with
the name of the donor, to the person
who has charge of the fund.

Beginners Make
Butter Fat Records
In St. Groix Co.

Up to January 1st, 1920, only two
Guernsey men in ST. Croix County
had done any semi-official yearly
testing. Four Holstein men had
made seven day records, but none had
tired the yearly record work. At the
same time, there had been no Jersey
records produced in the county. The
two fawn and white breeders were
old men at the yearly record work,
and had from year to year made bet
ter records until one of them had de-
veloped class leader with TAP lbs.
of fat in Glass A. A., while the other
had produced several records above
600 lbs. of fat
Other dairymen of the section look
ed upon these records as the result
of years of experience. They thought
it impossible for a beginner to equal
these achievements without going
through like number of years with
small records. However, several We're
courageous enough to begin official
testing in the early part on 1929. One
Jersey COW started with 80 les. OF tat
to her credit the first month; while
a Guernsey two-year ole made nearly
as good a start. Black and white
nacr "a ~. start so fa T. hit i'll De-
cember, a 80 ID, seven day butter fat
record was made. The following
shows the results OF testing done in
1920:
Holstein, 7-day, 80 lbs. butter at
Az years.
Guernsey, 800 day, $40 lbs fat at
2h years.
Jersey, $50 day, $40 lbs. fat at
6 years.
All of these records were made by
men doing their first work, except
the Holstein record which was the
second attempt. Another interesting
fact is that all records were made by
owners, or owners sons doing the
feeding and milking.
1t can be readily seen that st. Croiy
County is being supplied with men
who will act as their own herdsmen
in the making of official records un-
til they are able to employ others to
do this work for them. This is as it
should be, for few men who make a
success of livestock breeding are, at
first, able to employ high priced,
experienced herdsman. However, our
men are taking up the work. Today
there are fourteen Holstein men doing
yearly, or seven day work, with one
cow on yearly test having over 500
lbs. butter to her credit in five
months. Six Guernsey herds are pro-
ducing yearly records; two have pro-
duced class leaders. There are three
Jersey farms working on the semi
official test, one with a two year old
producing 60 lbs. of fat; and another
with COW making rs lbs. of fat per
month.
This shows rapid progress during
the year of 1920. Let's contiue the
good work.

National Guard Notes

Regular drills every Monday and
Wednesday evenings from now until
July 18th. The 1O7th Ammunition
Train will leave at 700 O'Clock on the
morning of Monday, July 18th, for
Camp Douglas. Other units to be in
Camp Douglas at this time are the
i2oth and 121st Regiments IF Field
Artillery.
The 127th and 128th Infantry Regi-
ments, and the 32nd Military Police
Company will leave for Camp Doug
las the morning of July 18th. They
will remain in Camp until July Both,
which means they will be in camp
the first week of the time during
which the local boys are at Camp
Douglas. There will be about 1000
men in Camp Douglas at that time.
instruction was given at drill last
Monday evening for disassembling
the .45 Caliber Automatic Pistol.
Every man will be equipped with this
arm at Camp Douglas this summer.
Word has been received from the
Adjutant Generals office to the effect
that the rule requiring men to be en-
listed three weeks before their or
CARNATIONS go into summer encamp-
ments has been waived this year,
and that recruits may be enlisted up
to the time that the organization
leaves for camp.
Ten new uniforms We're received
by the Supply Sergeant during the
week, and are being held for short
time to see whether there will be any
new men to equip If no enlistments
are made this week, the new clothing
will be issued to men having uniforms
which are worn or otherwise not In
serviceable condition.
1t has been decided to POSTPONE tn
proposed Outdoor Carnival and Pave
ment Dance until after the return Of
the company from Camp Douglas on
August 9th. It is hoped that the cone
pany will have more of its equipment
by that time,
Regulars May Not Help At Douglas
Madison, Wis, July 9th.-Wiscon-
sin National Guard units may be
forced to undergo their summer en-
canlpment instruction without maxi
mum assistance of regular ARMY
troops.
Adjutant General Holway left yes
terday for Fort Sheridan, H., to as
certain just what regular army fore
es will be sent to Camp Douglas this
summer.
The order issued by Sec. of War
Weeks July 1st, allowing discharges
to men in the regular army upon thel.
application is said to have disrupted
organizations to the extent that 1t
may be impossible to send to Camp
Douglas the infantry and artillery
regiments of regular troops as con-
templated.
The infantry encampment at Camp
Douglas opens July 18th and the ar
tillery encampment, July 25th. Cen
eral Holway is endeavoring to secure
as much regular army equipment and
personnel as possible to instruct Wis
consin Guardsmen during their sum-
mer encampments. With the serious
cut which has been made in the Reg
ular army, the National Guard must
now be considered as being part OF
the country's first line of defense.
