IMPROVING ROAD AROUND
SOUTH END DEVILS LAKE

The road around the south end of
Devils lake is being made wider and
better. Blasting has been heard in
the vicinity of DEVILS lake and some
thought it was at the new quarry of
the American Refractories company.
Men from this firm are improving the
road, blowing out the rocks with ex-
plosfves. The state has furnished
teams and these are hauling earth.
The American Refactories company
has spent many thousand dollars in
erecting a new plant east of the lake
and desire better road to Baraboo.
The company is doing most of the
work in the state park. The highway
has really been dangerous and the
improvement will greatly reduce the
fear of accidents.

to be a marked case Of disarmament
and that while strictly in accord with
the spirit of the time, let the good
first disarm,' it may not be wise to
carry it too far" SAID devil fur
ther Opines, that in few cities of
equal population could this sacred
book remain so long undiscovered,

restored to it's owner.t Strict search

pennies and small change in the till.
He Immediately went down stairs and
followed the man he last noticed
coming down the stairway On the
low bridge, on Walnut street, he en-
countered the suspect and jumped out
of his car. From thsre on it is alleged
the suspect swas the object of rough
usage at the hands of the mayor. w.
j. Stortz happened along about that
time and both mem ushered the al
legged thief into. the auto.
A search of the man revealed the
stolen money, several burglar tools
besides other accessories. He had pick
ed the lock of the door leading to the
Mayors office it is claimed.
The man is now marking time" in
the county bastile until Judge andre
will give him a hearing. The judge
is Of the opinion that the suspect
was the same one that robbed him

IN BARABOO TO
SEE DRUGGISTS

Two federal officers unexpectedly
arrived in town Friday and visited the
drug stores in the city to ascertain
whether the amount of liquor sold
complied with the number Of perscrip-
tions given out.
One of the druggists was told that
his supply of liquor was fraction OF
a gallon less than the amount called
for by prescriptions but the missing
amount was probably due to evapor-

TELLS OF CHINA
AND HER NEEDS

Twenty years ago Rev. J. r. Denyr
and his wife, Madison, went to Singa-
pore as missionaries. later going to
Java, Borneo, and to China, he said in
an address at the First M. E. church
on Sunday night. After making a
study of the educational field in
China, Rev. Denyrs health failed and
he returned to this country. The
speaker was introduced by Rev. w.
W. Moore, the pastor of the church.
Japan Problem of Pacific
China is the problem of the Pacific
the speaker declared. 1t matters a,
great deal to us what people are on
the other side Of the earth for it is
possible to get a people to think any
thing if they are given the propaganda
long enough. AS an example he men
toned Germany She taught that
every leading nation in the past had
dominated the world and that the
time had come for Germany to take
this step.
Japan was isolated, no foreigners
from other countries were permitted
Finally trade relations between Amer
ica and Japan were established. Now
Japan has followed the same plan as
Germany, has become military peO-
pie.
Sad Experiences of the Chinese
When the Portuguese first went to
China they killed $4,000; the Span
iards in the Philippines killed 10000
more of their people, the Dutch in
Borneo slaughtered 10000, and Eng
land hoisted the opium habit upon
them. These grievances were follow
ed by abuses by Germany and the
war with Russia. Naturally China
came to hate about every nation ex-
cept the United States,
Problem is China
The speaker held the problem OF
the Pacific was not Japan but China.
Following the war between China and
Japan, and between Japan and Rus
sia. China sent $4,000 students to
Japan to study and returned home
with new ideas.
Ten years ago China adopted the
slogan, China for the Chinese. Be
fore that it was disgrace for man
to be a soldier in China but this has
changed They have taken up west
ern education, thousands of schools
adopting the new system. The joker
was that the young Chinese were
given wooden guns with which to
practice military tactics; now there
are ten million trained for the army
China has become Prussianized. No
longer is the slogan China for the
Chinese but Asia for the Asiatics.
There are $50 million cOlored people
in Asia and only 500 million whites in
the entire world. China has the man
power and leadership and what she
may do in twenty years is to be ser
iously considered
Steel is now being made in China
with labor at so cents per day; labor
in America is $500 per day.
Give the Orient our point of view
reduce ornaments in Europe and
America and they will follow if taught
to do so. If this is not done the
Orient will arm in twenty years and
the consequences are to be feared.
