HOLSTEIN
MEMBERSHIP
STEADILY
INCREASES

A glance at the list of applicants
for membership in the Holstein-Frie-
sion Association of America approved
at the recent meeting of the Board of
Directors at Cleveland on July 3Oth
shows Wisconsin increasing her Hol-
stein breeders three times as fast as
any other state in the Union with the
exception of New York and our growth
is nearly double that of this single ex-
ception According to the figures COM
piled at the annual meeting held at
Syracuse in June, Wisconsin has near
~ly $500 members of the National AS
sociation. A large percentage of these
are members also of the State Asso-
citation and are supporting the breed
promotion efforts of all who are work
ing interestedly for still gre ater ex-
pansion of the Black and White Dairy
breed. Breeders accredit Wisconsin,
Americas greatest dairy state" and
tourists verify our reputation in their
statements that Holstein-Friesian cat
tie cover the Badger State like great
Black and White blanket"

ANCIENT
PENALTY
INVOKED

Not since the late Middle Ages has
any one in France been sentenced to
die for highway robbery until recently.
A man is now under sentence of
death for this crime. His name is
Antoine Savin. He is to be beheaded
with the guillitine. The judges SEN
tence provided that the execution
should take place in the largest square
in the city of Epinal However, the
court of appeals has ruled that the
lower judge exceeded his authority in
naming the square, that it is the pri-
vilege of@the mayor of the city to do
this instead, but that the sentence is
otherwise all right and should be car
ried out
The offense for which the robber
must make atonement with his life
was the holding up of George Goldman
an American soldier, who was. left on a
lonely road for dead after he had been
assaulted and his pockets enptied.

ASTOP TO
LOTTERIES

Attorney General w. j. Morgan has
issued a statement based on an opin-
ion handed down on the lotteries and
other gift enterprises being carried
on throughout Wisconsin, in which he
declares that all raff1es and drawing
schemes for the disposing of hotels,
parcels of real estate, automobiles,
articles of furniture, etc., are illegal.
He limited that it might be necessary
for his Office to go back over the years
activities and reclaim all gifts, award
ing the money to the schools.
If the State of Wisconsin is to draw
such aclose line on raff1es and draw
ing contests, it is hoped that the legal
branch of our state government will
have the courage to put stop to the
wheels of chance number boards
throw a ball in bucket and other
such devices used in travelling shows
carnivals and other amusements. They
are all CANDLES, some of them crooked
and some of them straight games OF
chance. It is just as fair to discrim-
mate against such devices as it is
to put stop to drawing contests
There may be statutory interpreta.
tions which will allow games of chance
on the wheels and other devices gives
loophole for carnivals to "get by
Wisconsin Rapids Tribune.
We cannot see how the State car
be too stringent in enforcing the State
Law against gambling of any kind
When a man secures your money yol
should have an equivalent in return
for it. A. fair profit is allowable t.
any man upon his wares.

|OUR women
AND THEIRS

American women are more fortunate
than their cousins of Eurepe-if il
can be called good fortune.
In America there are about the same
number of men as there are women
and the latter are admired, courted
and sought after. They take their
choice.
In Europe it is different. The war
has worked great havoc with the male
population. There are many millions
more women than men, and this con-
dition is becoming worse daily thru
the emigration of vast numbers Of the
men to other parts of the world.
The surplus women of Europe are
facing a dismal and hopeless future.
Marriage is their natural state, but
only the enactment of laws authorizing
polygamy will prevent their dying as
spinsters.
The next time you feel dissatisfied
with conditions, sister, just contrast
your present state with that of the
women abroad.
1t is a rich field fer deep thinking.

jack DEMPSEY
.ACCLAIMS BOVINE
CHAMPION

'SHello Girlie, we are still worlds
champions" was the way Jack Demp-
sey, worlds champion boxer and re-
cent victorious defender of the heavy
weight title greeted the Holstein-Frie-
sian cow Segis Pietertje Prospect, who
T PRODUCED ti1irty-seven thousand pounds
of milk in the year and thus annexed
the worlds record of yearly milk pro-
duction, when he met her recently just
a few hours ride from Seattle Wis
consin fight fans and Holstein admir-
ers join in congratulations and hope
that both get their full share of the
enjoyment of leadership. 1t is inter
Iesting to know that of the millions of
men and the millions of cows in the
world that none can compare with
these two in their respective lines of
effort. 1t is interesting again to note
/ that leadership's laurel wreath rests
on the crown of achievement as worn
by two champions who have earned the
right of fame by two clean cut decis-
i've victories in the contest open to any
and all challengers.

ANOTHER
DREDGE

NO. Potter and son the well-known
cranberry growers, have recently COM
pleted dredge, a duplicate of the A
E. Bennett one, which has given eX-
cellent satisfaction. The Potter dredge
is simply constructed and will be op-
Grated by one man, the same as Ben
netts. In its construction they have
used a secondhand StutZ automobile
engine of go horse power and the con-
struction of it is first class thruout.
The wood work part of it is painted
and the beauty of this dredge is its
simplicity and easy handling OF It
The dredging can be done much easier
and cheaper than the more expensive
dredges of the past. 1t was erected
in this city and it was moved to their
marsh the past week where they have
plenty of work for it to do.

BARBECUEOF
ELkSDRAWS
8,O0OSUNDAY
Saddle Horse" Auctioned Off Turns
Out to be Stiff Jointed; Novel
Dish is Feature.

From Capitol Times
More than 5000 Madison and oat
of towns people packed the grounds
at Esther Beach Sunday afternoon
to attend the Madison Elks' grand
old southern barbecue. Roast OK
was served to thousands of persons
who waited in lines, blocks long at
times, to taste the novel dish. The
meat was cooked over trenches of
hot Goals, prepared the day before.
An expert master of barbecue cere-
monies presided over the commissary.
The feature of the afternoon was
the giving away of saddle horse
The horse hadn't had a square meal
during its life, according to Harry
c.. Buser, exalted ruler of the ant
Tered herd, and it was never known
to blink an eye. The horse is of the
wooden variety and had for years
stood in front of the Wehrrann's
harness shop, King street. 1t was
bought by the Elks for the purpose
1t is rumored that the commotion IL
the attorney generals office, which
it is said resulted from the an.
nouncement that the Elks woul6
rattle off saddle horse, has quieted
considerably, and that no prosecu-
tions will follow.
People came and went from the
grounds throughout the afternoon
and evening Dercing continued
from p. M until midnight. The
Baraboo Marine bard gave a con-
cert, featured by the singing of
Danny Roberts. The hydroplane pi-
loted by c. P. Oleson was a great
attraction to the crowd and many
bought rides in the air and on the
water.

It PAYS To
TRADE IN THE
Home TOWN
(By E. M. Trowern.)


The great pivot upon which the af-
fairs of the world swing is individual
responsibility. Millions upon millions
of tons of literature are being spread
| throughout the world in all languages
every year, calling attention to the
n rongs of society as a whole, but in the
final analysis these wrongs can never
be entirely righted until every individ-
| 1al in every community takes an indi-
vidual responsibility upon himself or
herself to see that they are righted.
Pure, unadulterated selfshness is at
the root of all the trouble Strange as
it may seem, no person can do sell
fish thing or commit an unfair act
without having to pay the price them
selves, or, in other words, sthere is a
price ticket on everything"
Take, for instance, a group of per-
sons who are employed in manufac-
t ring plant, or in any other institution
who conceive the idea that if they bot
certain lines of staple goods in bulk
at wholesale prices and divided them
up among themselves that they would
save money and thereby benefit them
selves, or, in other words, they would
be adding to their earning power. If
the plant Or institution in which they
were working was located in a pros
porous town or village, their action
would affect the legitimate retail ner-
chants who were endeavoring to serve
them in the town, and the result would
be that the retail merchants who for
merly handled the lines which were
purchased by these persons at whole
sale prices would cease handling those
ines, and, in order to pay their rent
z I'd their running expenses, they would
have to increase the cost of the other
lines which they carried and which
these employees required. What bene-
fit, therefore, would be gained by tran
sactions of that character? If you
want to do your fellow citizens, the re-
tail merchants, an injustice by inter-
fering with their trade for the pur-
pose of endeavoring to benefit your
self for selfish purposes, you have to
pay the price in the end, either in
tmoneysor in loss of service. This rule
applies in every walk of life and you
cannot evade it.
The more retail stores we have in the
community the better the community
will be served. Competition is the most
sacred weapon in the world and it
should never be interfered with Re-
tail merchants open stores in various
locations because they believe that
they can do business in those locations
or, in other words, they take the indi-
vidual responsibility and consequent
ly the risk Is this not as it should
be? Would any sane person suggest
that the Government should decide as
to where and when stores should be
pened, as was attempted in Germany?

GODS ORCHESTRA

Country people and those who live IN
the smaller towns have little oppor-
tunity to hear the worlds greatest
music. Most of them never hear a
grand opera or a great orchestra. But
there is great orchestra out in every
rural neighborhood, which everyone
can hear and learn to love.
! Goods great bandmaster waves his
baton-the red and gold of the morn
ing. When he waves it over one farm
rooster crows, at another turkey
gobbles, and then with swing to the
prairie you hear the far-off low boom
ing of the prairie chickens. At the
top of the tallest tree robin is play
ing his part and soon all the birds are
singing in grand chorus. You listen
and wonder and in reverence and wor-
ship you stand before this perfect har-
mony." SO writes Mr.. A. j. Mcclure
of the University Of Minnesota in "The
Farmer" 1t is all very true. Many
Of these people have longing for the
feverish life of the great cities, but
when they try it the novelty soon
wears off. They feel an empty space in
their hearts. They miss the sweet in
f1uences of sky and field and foliage.
And sweetest of all the memories that
call them back to the dear old country
side, is Gods orchestra of the birds.
Many lonely heart has been cheer
ed by their message of hope. They
take the solitude of winter, and fill it
with happy tennantry. 1t is difficult
to feel sad and morose with bouyant
bird song from the nearby thicket.
For after all, where can one find
more real comfort, peace and content
ment than in living in a beautiful coun-
try side home, conveniently located
near a good, clean thriving town?
There is no place in the world where
life is more enjoyable and the big
brownstone mansions of the cities are
but haunted castles in comparison with
the average country home today.
The "home town" is not only
"home" for the townspeople but is, in
reality, the larger home of the sur
rounding country as well. Why then
should an appeal for loyalty to the
home town be necessary, for without
the prosperous "home town" we would
not have the prosperous, peaceful and
contented country side.
