THE SALES TAX

AT the annual meeting of the Retail
Dry Goods Association of Maine, held in
Portland May 18th, resolution was
adopted favoring a one per cent sales
tax in place of the excess profits tax.
The sentiment of the people of the whole
country seems to be against the excess
profits tax and there seems to be grow
ing sentiment in favor of the sales tax.

Faithful Horse Dies

Dick" the faithful horse owned by
j. H. Hubbard is dead. He was famil-
liar figure on the streets of Baraboo
for a quarter of century. He enjoy
more than local reputation and was
well known in Monroe and Vernon
counties. On account of his good habits
and style of architecture Sncs
known was not easily forgotten. He
was easy to hitch up, you could
throw the harness across him careless
ly and it would catch on some projec-
ton and adhere. He was an honorary
member of the Relief Corps for q
years and in the old days there was a
great rivalry between him and "Old
Dam, a horse owned by N. M. Bliss
to see which would serve the organiza-
ton the most faithfully, but Dick cut
lived Dan.
Many loads of provision and cloth
ing were distributed by both.
Then the rivalry with the automo-
bile began and they were continually
pushing him off the road until his was
finally driven out.
They seemed to view his presence
on the highway as though he should be
a stuffed speciman in museum. It is
with very heavy hearts the family
who owned and cared for him for so
many years saw him go.

FOLK
HOLD REUNION

One branch of the McGilvra clan
has just held a most successful fam
lily reunion at Macs Welcome, the
home OF Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. B. McGil-
vra. The parents, eight children, the
"in-lawS" with one exception, and thir-
teen of the seventeen grandchildren
were in attendance. This is the first
time the entire family has been to-
gether for twenty-five years.
Those present were Mr.. and Mrs.
Geo. B. McGilvra, Mr.. and Mrs. Clar-
ence McGilvra of Portland, Ore; Mr..
and Mrs. Arthur McGilvra and six
children, Sioux City, Iowa, !;
Mrs. Bessie Griffith and daughter, ORA

Hugh Kelly As Devil

Several years ago, when was some
what younger than am today, was
attending school in Baraboo. The tea
cher, Miss Gertrude Dennison, said it
was only a waste of time for me to
spend any more years in school as
there was little more on the inside
than on the outside of my head. About
that time Capt. VIM. Hill, editor of
the "BaraboO Republic was looking
for a printers devil and thought Joe
Briscoe and myself might possibly
take the place Of one good boy. The
Office was located over Dr. Mills drug
store and this building, particularly
the floors. were. not modern, and once
in great while we would accidently
spill water on them. On such occa-
sions Doc would come up and lodge a
complaint and Mr.. Hill would request
us to be more careful, and after a
time, that it must be stopped or there
would be an aching void in some Of
our positions. He said he was wearing
his think apparatus" to FRAGILE writ
ing editorials supporting u. S. Grant
for the presidency and could not be
bothered with minor affairs. For near
ly two weeks everything was quiet in
the drug store, when one morning
ills came up the stairs; two at a
time, and told Hill he was being
drowned out again. The spirit that
animated the Editor while he was
Captain Of the 9Th Missouri infantry
during the Civil war was now fired UP
again. But Joe told him he hadn't
spilled any water on the floor and
assured him I hadn't. Our statements
had the same soothing effect on said
war spirit that Lee surrender at Ap-
pomattox had He went down and told
the doctor there was some mistake
possibly it was the rats with which
the old nookery was infested. The
clerk, Lon Purdy, said no, it wasn't
water, it was the I've we used wash

I and then some, but the editor labor
ed under the delusion than in vast
majority of cases was the culprit,

assisted in building up the great Chi
