Il have decided to marry again,
Miss CClburn."
Or. willard CavanauSh, middle
aged, made the remark over the top
OF his newspaper when Harriet Col
burn entered the living room after
tucking the Doctors daughter, Thel
MI. aged six, and his son, Kenneth,
aged four, in their beds.
IL was somewhat Of q surprise to
Harriet, for when she left the hos
pital training school upon her grad
nation two years ago to accept q posi-
ton in the doctors household she had
been given to understand the new
service would be permanent. 1t was
more than surprise--it was shock.
For Harriet had come 70 love the
children intruSted to her care.
Harriet was well past the twenty
year mark and she was not beautiful.
But she was a good, wholesome sort
of girl. who took life seriously and
paid strict attention to business Her
business was seeing that Thelma and
Kenneth had the right food. fresh air,
the proper kind of attire and the cor
rect form and amount OF discipline.
She had specialized in the care OF
children and had way with them
that few could hope TO rival. Further
more, she loved any and all members
OF the coming generation. and for that
reason she had declined tempting

chance to look after the Cavanaugh
family. Before engaging her the doc

come convinced that the salutary vel

nouncement was disappointment, but
Harriet had been taught to control
her emotions and was confident her

"Ianu YOU have been the recipient Of
several fiattering offers during your
term of service with me"
That is true" said Harriet mod
cstly. She could have an institutional
position at the hospital any time she
desired, and there were several places
open similar to the one she now oc-
cupicd.
With her face in the shadow she
locked inlently at the doctor. whose

whose children she loved, and at times

Do Commendable Work

While making mention of road work
being done in the county this season
Will Best and Arthur Turner are de-
serving of praise for their road work
on Riley Hill below Avalanche. There
hasn't been any work done on this hill
for Thirteen years, making it very I'M
pleasant for travel even with team.
Now the crew has graded and widened
the road making it a fine thoroughfare
considering its past condition. There
has been several fine pieces of road
work done in this county this season
and most of them worthy of mention.
Heretofore people from Viroqua trav-
cling to Avalanche were compelled
to take a round about road.

THE NEW VERSION

Mary owned two pretty calves
90, my, but they were plump,
And everywhere that Mary went,
The men were on the jump.
They bore her everywhere she went,
All cased in silken hose;
And what occurred when she went
out
Well, everybody knows.
She took her calves to church one day
And dazed the good folks there;
Yes, every male in that good place
Forgot the parsons prayer.
For Mary, with unconscious grace,
Displayed her underpinning,
Unwittingly that she was the cause
OF so much awful SHINING.

Wisconsin is in Front Rank as Cattle
State

With a total of 3,050S29 head Of
cattle in 1920, Wisconsin stands well
up in the list of cattle states in the
country. Only a few western states
lead Wisconsin.
Wisconsin had 287 ,346 head Of cat
tie used mainly for beef purposes and
2, 763, 4S3 head used mainly for their
dairy products. The last figures con-
stitute Wisconsin's main claim to su-
premacy as the greatest dairying

Beware the Female of the Species

WOH1dn Is pFdCLlCdl.
Never mind the funny things she
wears, and the funny things she does
They are, like her beauty, only skin
deep.
Moral courage she hes it.
No mere man can rise to the heights
of a woman cheated out of what she
considers her rights.
Father, let me see that check. :"
she demands at the aristocratic cafe,
in heroic defiance of the amused
glances IF the fashionables, and 'tFa-
theirs" black frown.
And woe be unto the food manipu-
lator when the gentler sex get through
investigating them.
The recent convention of the Ma
tional League of Women Voters de-
clared for a searching probe of the
food question.
Since that time has been an ominous
silence. But it is significant to the
initiated that there is a wide and grow
ing demand for the distribution of
food in bulk.
Woman is asking chow come" all
this expensive, useless primping of
pickles and "ouncing" and pounding"
of potatoes, and putting of four-color
kimonas on her crackers.
And she is Directing to munching
yeast cakes in order that she really
gets the nourishment cut of the daily
ration.
It is up to the smart packer to side
step to bulk in barrels at safe and
sane price, when mother starts in to
probing the fodder.

Can't Run "Cry" Vessels in Sus-
cessful Rivalry With Foreign
Craft, He Declares.

Concentration of authority in one
executive instead of dividing the
power among seven commissioners
as now is the case is necessary TO
the successful operation of the Ship
ping Board, John Barton Payne,
former chairman of the board and
now Secretary of the Interior, told
the Walsh Investigating Committee
yesterday.
PROHIBITION HANDICAP.
81 think we might just as well also
make up our minds said the former
Shipping Board head. that we can't
operate passenger ships In compeu-
tion with foreign ships and enforce

people who are for prohibition here
will ride on the foreign ships In
preference to our own ships because

Abrogation of existing commercial
treaties with other nations as pro-
vtded In the Jones shipping act Is an
other handicap TO the American mer-
chant marine, the committee was told.
The supposed handicap of the wage
provision OF the La Toilette seamen's
act. Judge Payne declared, Is not as
great as generally supposed.
Following Judge Paynes testimony.
the committee heard one OF It's special
investigators. A.. NJ. Fisher. who said
his examination of the bank records
OF r. w, Boiling. brother-in-law OF
President Wilson, had substantiated
Bolling's denial of the charge by
Tucker X. Sands that he had accepted
money for aid in securing contracts
IN
poration. Boiling also took the stand
again and entered a further denial.
W OPPOSES ABROGAT1ON.
Opposing abrogation of the COM
mercial treaties, Judge Payne said:
Il was very much disappointed at
the shipping bill when it contained
abrogation of our commercial
treaties. 1t is impossible to build
up a shipping business with clubs.
You can't do it."
This section of the bill has been
suspended by President Wilson.
Judge Payne recommended that 1t
be modified by Congress.
''Now, l don't agree with the bin
as to the personnel of the board"
the former chairman continued.
more than almost any job in this
country the running OF a shipping
business is an executive job. 1t Is
not job for a board, and IL you
Rave got to decide how a ship shall
be allocated by seven men-two from
the Atlantic, two from the Pacific,

TURKS TURN DOWN
NEAR EAST PARLEy

was learned that the Turkish Nation

rival at Rome, of Premier Lloyd
Georges imperialistic intentions,
fatty refused to continue the journey
to London. thus frustrating all di-
rect negotiations with Turkey.
This development, however. Is In
reality a British triumph, since IL de-
prives the French of the necessary
Turkish aid to obtain a revision of
the treaty of Sevres. At the same
time, the move is distinctly unvafor-
able to Great Britain's supreme de-
sire to retain control of the Oar

delegates have simply informed the
world that Turkey will fulfill the
threat to undertake a military alli-
ance with Russia in order to clear odt
all foreigners from Asia.
Great Britain's interference. there
fore, is a pregnant menace of tremen-
dous events which will definitely draw
the deadline between Asia and Eu-
rope, bringing on an East versus
West war; which the world has
dreaded for more than century.
