Song Of Baraboo
Tune, Aud Lane Syne

The following clipping appeared in
this office. The author is not known:
Tune, Aud Lang Syne
Oh Baraboo, sweet Baraboo,
Bright city of my song;
Adown thy vale, thy quiet stream
In beauty glides along.
When grinding earthquakes lheaved
aloft
Thy rim of quartzite hills,
Wild chaos shaped these pleasing
forms
Of rocks and dales, and rills.
Thy rounded hills, all clothed in green
Are glinted DER with homes,
And churches show their glistening
spires,
And Learning's halls their domes.
But not thy hills, nor spires, nor dom
es,
Such tender thoughts can bring.
AS mem'ry of the kindly words
Which from thy people spring.
Full five and twenty years have prov
ed
Their loyal hearts so true;
The old friends now with thin-ned
ranks,
aGive greeting to the new.
Your Silent City, on the hill,
Can ne'er from me depart,
And voices, silenced in the years,
Still echo in my heart.
So Baraboo, my Baraboo,
While mem'ry powers can thrill
Glad thoughts of thee, will bring much
JOY,
Till breath, and pulse, are still.

The Country and the City Potato

What a Wisconsin farmer near the
dells of Wisconsin has to say about
prices at home and the prices charged
in Chicago in the average restaur-
ants and cafeterias which l have been
patron ming since the first of the
year. ~
At home it is difficult to sell pota-
toes at 20 cents bushel, 5 cents a
peck, delivered, and here some of the
best cafeterias and restaurants charge
Is cents for one baked potato and 10
cents for small portion of boiled
fried, or mashed.
Fresh eggs at home less than 2
cents apiece, and here they charge
8 cents apiece, even the boiled eggs.
Butter, flour and other foodstuffs
bring us farmers the lowest price they
have for years, yet the consumer in
most cases is paying wartime prices
at restaurants and hotels, although
they claim they are not profiteering
If not, what do they call it?

WHEN RUTH WILSON WAS FRIGHTENED" SHORT
STORY WRITTEN TO DEPICT CONDITION in THE
BLACK BELT OF S0UTH-AUTHOR IN HONOLULU

An idea flashed through her head.
"The dog. 1t must be the dog What
else could it be?" she reasoned des-
perately with herself. To make sure,
she would look and see
Pushing back the curtains she peer
ed out into the room. Her glance fell
upon the long silver mirror, which
reflected the few dim Goals of the
dying fire. Some peculiar faacina-
ton held it there, and though at first
she. could see only a black void be-
meath her bed, the outlines of dark
form gradually became distinct The
form moved slowly toward the mirror,
and as it advanced, to her horror, q
dull clanking of chains was audible.
Scarcely daring to breath, she contin-
ued to watch. At length the crea-
ture arose to full height and turned
toward the fireplace. The faint light
revealed the savage brutal features
of q gigantic negro. A sickening wave
of fear crept over Ruth and chilled
her very soul. He was in her room

Meanwhile the negro stared vacant
ly about the room; when, suddenly,
his eye lit on the bed, and with a mo-
mentary CLEAN of intelligence he APP

back the curtains, Ruth's benumbed
senses came to life, and in another
instant she had sprung swiftly out
on the other side. She shuddered as
she heard the heavy body writhing
and twisting where she had lain but
moment before.
AS if frozen with her fear she stood
immovable outside the curtains. Cold
drops of sweat broke out over her
body as the awful superstitions and
tales Of horror of the South came
flooding to her memory The minutes
seemed like hours, years! God! Would
no one ever come Would he find her3
And then? The chains! Why the

her whole frame; her eyes Blurred

small.
Heavy rains in vicinity Of Oshkosh
have swelled all streams flowing in
to Lake Winnebago, and farmers are
demanding that more sluice gates in
the Fox River dam at Menasha be
opened to take care of the surplus
water.
Further rainfall is likely to be ac-
companied by overlooking of several
rivers and consequent heavy damage
to- crops in that section it was declar-
ed Monday afternoon.
Much Damage Locally
The storm Monday afternoon prov
ed to be small cyclone in some local
tiles near Baraboo. Damage in this
city was little or none.

cOnsin Telephone company reports
telephone poles down in the vicinity
of Ableman and others out of Kill
FOurn towards Reedsburg.
The Western Union telegraph COM
pany in this city is unable to receive
or send messages further than Camp

meet ons from the storm.

the wind. The residence on the farm
was not damaged.
