Soldier Dead Fit
tingly Remembered

Decoration Day was fittingly OBJ
served in Pennington, the exercises
being actively participated in by six
teen CO the old veterans. The services
truly carried out the purposes for
which the occasion was first observed
by Mrs. Montgomery, of Alabama,
who on May 80, 1867 with several
friends went to the graves of her two
sons who had fallen for the Confed-
eracy. When that sad, sweet task was
performed, Mrs. Montgomery noticed
the nearby graves of several Federal
soldiers, and turning to her friends she
said: 1--WE must decorate these also,
as they have mothers somewhere, the
same as my boys"
Thus, history records the loving and
patriotic services of the day were in
faugurated, which has long since been
a national observance on May Both of
leach year, when the graves of all SOL
dier dead are freshly marked with
flowers and "taps", regardless of
which side they fought for in that civil
strife. They all fought, and fought
well, for what they believed to be
right. 1t is these loving services, an
nually performed, that has aided ma
terially in blotting out the last ves-
tige of old animosities and hatred.
Before the regular program began,
the Desloge band gave a concert in
the court house stand, after which a
parade line was formed, led by the
band and followed by old veterans,
who were led by Capt. w. A. Kennedy,
they being followed by about sixty lit
tie girls and boys, all bearing flowers.
After circling the square, ranks were
broken at the Monarch Theatre, where
the following program was enjoyed by
large audience:
Song-"America."
Prayer by Rev. R. L. King.
Music by Band.
Lincoln's Gettysburg Address, read
by Theo. D. Fisher.
Solo by Miss Marie Counts.
Address by Henry Davis.
Song-"Star Spangled Banner"
"The Little Tents"--reading by Miss
May Myers.
"Sweet Bye and Bye, solo by Mrs.
X. G. Weber.
Song by audience, "God Be With
You Till We Meet Again"
The line of parade was again form
ed, and to the heartening music of the
band the march was made to the Ma
sonic cemetery, where the few re-
naming old soldiers engaged in loving
enthusiasm in decorating the graves
of sleeping comrades, afterwhich
"taps" were sounded over each "little
green tent, which was followed with
lingering departure.
.. In closing, and in this connection it
seems appropriate to state that Rev.
j J. Schuler, pastor of the First Bap-
tist Church, preached a splendid Dec
oration Day sermon on the preceding
Sunday, which drew forth many ex-.
pressions Of approval and sa+isfac-
ton.

Farms of the County to be Visited
The Madison County Farm Bureau
win make tour into st. Francois
county June 9th. Some of the prom
inent cattle breeders of the county
will be visited and their herds looked
over. Mr.. Tappmeyer. the Madison
county farm agent, says that the
Madison county farmers remember
with pleasure the tour they made in
this county two or three years ago
and are desirous of another trip.
Breeders of both beef and dairy cat
tie will be visited. Some Of the Mad
ison county farmers are planning on
buying few good beef bulls. They
have been attracted here by the repu-
tation that the breeders Of this county
have obtained for their excellent cat
tie. N
Experiments on Fertilizer to be
Checked Up.
Mr.. C. L. Dietz, from the College of
Agriculture, will spend Monday after
noon and Tuesday morning in the
county. His work here will be to
check up the results obtained from US
ing the Super-phosphate fertilizer
which was distributed last fall. This
fertilizer was secured to compare 1t
with 16 per cent acid phosphate fer
tilizer.
If this phosphate produces
good results, it will mean quite saw
ing to the farmers when they once get
to using it. 1t runs about three times
as high as phosphoric acid or the COM
mon 16 per cent acid phosphate. If
the application of one-third as much
of this material gives as good result,
there will be good saving made on
the freight.
The men who used this last fall and
whose farms will be visited are: G. }.
Westmeyer, Lee Roy Johnson, c. G.
Schuttier, Chas. Giessing, VIM. Hinze
and A. W. David.

little Information OF the miniature
chicken heart which responded to the

St. Albans-Swanton Concern Awaits
Creditors Action.

st. Adams, Nov. l4.-The St. Adams
& Swanton Traction company, which
has operated trolley line between this
city, st. Adams Bay and Swanton,
has suspended operation and awaits
action on the part Of its creditors
according to a statement made Satur-
day by w. A. Peterson, superintendent
of the company, Mr.. Peterson declared
that the decision is final and that the
company will make no effort to resume
operation. The last car was run FRI
day night
According to Mr. Peterson the road
is unable to meet its obligations, the
income since the establishment of the
motor bus line TO Swanton not being
sufficient to pay the employees wages,
to say nothing of the other fixed and
operating costs The superintendent
was uncertain as to just what course
developments will take. He could not
say whether the company would pull
up its rails, but seemed inclined to
think that the creditors would come in
and the property be disposed of proba-
bly, as junk The equipment, he stated,
was in far from good condition.
The line has been twice offered TO the
city Of st. Adams as gift. but each
time the offer was declined, which from
an operating standpoint, Mr.. Peterson
thought was good Judgment on the
part Of the city. He says that the line
to the bay cannot be operated save at
loss.
Twelve men have been thrown out Of
employment by the suspension:
