shipment The yards have had big
run of business this winter. The own
ers of the sheep are not faring well
this season. The prices are down, and
the excessive freight rates kill all
chance of profit to the shipper.

Since the county board acted fav
orably on the proposition to discount
enough road bonds to pay the debt
owed by the county to the state for the
Janesville-Beloit road completed last
fall, the prospects of taking up the
completion of the Janesville-E dgerton
road during the coming season are fav-
orable. There is six and one-fifth miles
to be laid to reach the Indian Ford
bridge. About $3.50, 900 worth of bonds
must be sold to do this. The highway
commissioner states that the work will
open as soon as weather conditions will
permit.
DIR. Davis, chiropractor, with of
fees in the Rialto building on Henry
street, has sold the practice and good
will of the business to Chas. V. Jago,
D. c., who is here and has taken charge
of the practice. Mrs. Davis found that
the Stoughton Office required all the at
tention of the firm, and under the cir
cumstances could not give the Edger-
ton community the attention that it de-
served. DR.. Jago, who originally came
from Cleveland, Ohio, is graduate of
the Palmer School of Chiropractic in
Davenport, Iowa, and has during the
past three years practiced in Milwau-
kee. He is for the present making his
home at The Carlton, but his offices are
at the Rialto building, second floor.
Charles Cambell, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Fred Campbell of this city, ar
rived at the parental home the first of
the week, called there by the serious
illness of his mother. He and his
brother Jay have been in Mexico for
some time, connected with company
that has large oil interests there, and
have made good in responsible posi-
TONS Jay could not leave his work to
come here. Fortunately Mrs. Camp
bell is somewhat improved and could
enjoy the visit of the son who came.
Both the boys are graduates of the Ed
gerton high school and have hosts of
friends mere. The syndicate employ
ing them has now decided to send the
Campbell boys to India where it has
important holdings. All the friends of
the boys wish them we'll, and hope that
good fortune may smile on them in the
far away country they are going to.
The problem of taxation was the
subject under discussion by the gentle
men of the Mems club at its meeting
last Monday evening at the home of
Frank Pearson. C. S. Farman intro
duced the subject. He called attention
to the different forms of taxation now
in vogue and acquainted the members
with new tax measures which are be-
fore congress at the present time. A
bill for per cent tax on land and all
natural resources, like coal, oil, water
power, mineral, timber, rural and urban
real estate, improved or otherwise,
valued at more than $4,000, not in
Guiding improvements, attracted the
attention of the club. The bill is
named the Ralston-Nolan bill, and it is
sponsored by committee of manufac-
turers and merchants. It is claimed
for it that it will reduce the tax burden
on earned values, yet produce greater
revenue for the federal government,
and, if adopted, equalize the tax bur-
den by forcing those who hold large
natural resources to pay their just
share of the federal tax Mr.. Far
mans discussion drew out lively ex-
change of opinions. The usual refresh
ments were served, and the men had,
as they always have, congenial and
profitable evening.
