REGULAR MEET
KIWANIS CLUB

AT the Kiwanis luncheon on We'd
nesday DR.. c. f. Stekl and w. z.
Rowland of the stunt" committee
put the members through a series of
questions to find out how much they
knew about their own stater-Wis-
consin. The attendance committee
was authorized to use measures to
keep the weekly attendance up to
the past record. c. NJ. Dubois spoke
for the entertainment committee and
stated that about fifteen automobiles
were needed Sunday morning to help
show hospitality to the delegates
coming here to the convention of
Business and Professional Women.
Attorney Herman Grotophorst, for
nine years member of the state
board of control, spoke on the state
institutions of Wisconsin. He COM
pared the way in which they were
conducted in this state with the man
ner in which they were controlled in
other states and said that the Wis
consin plan was much the best. Here
all the institutions are under the con-
troll of a single board, resulting in
much greater economy and efficiency
than if several boards or commissions
had charge of them.
The speaker referred to the trades
taught at the Green Bay reformatory
and of the four hours a day schooling
there; of the parole system at Wau-
pun, convict being subject to pa
role after half his sentence has been
served. He mentioned the arrange
ment for the insane, how the inmates
are kept two years at the state in
situations and then sent to one of
the county asylums if found incur
able, also spoke of the good being
done by maintaining homes for the
feeble-minded and dependent chill
dren.
Mr. Grotophorst preluded his re-
marks on state institutions by dwell
ing on the advantages to be derived
by maintaining golf course such as
IS now being planned at Devils lake.
1t would be one of the main drawing
cards for Baraboo.

been instrumental in settling claims
in favor of veterans totalling more

Other aims which the Legion expects
to accomplish through the census are
the establishment of a fund to pro-

cared for, and an authentic report of

For some time Mr.. and Mrs. y. f.
StabnOw and son, who reside in the

those sold are used in training dogs

the dog is given his liberty and an
opportunity to exercise his olfactory
faculty. When the Tree is located by
the dog the furry creature sought is
pulled by the chain from his arbor-
cal position and his presence made
known to the dog. A few lessons of
this kind and the dog will not be
diverted when on nocturnal quest
for coon.
On the Stabnow coon farm the ami
mails are fed green corn in season,
corn bread, milk, acorns, fruit, and
other kinds of food. They will eat
almost anything that is placed be-
fore them and seem to relish their
meals to high degree.
Inside the enclosure sections of hol-
low trees are provided in which they
seek seclusion. Each section of the
tree is about three feet long, placed
on end on a slightly raised platform,
a board over the top. Just beneath
the cover hole is provided just large
enough for the animals to enter and
exit. Coon are not inclined to con-
gregate when sleeping or alternating
time comes, one or possibly two oc-
cupying a section of a tree.

VIII LIFE IN
BARABOO HILLS
RaccOOn Are Successfully Grown
on Farm Near North Freedom
by Mr.. and Mrs. E. F. Stabnow

The last issue of The Wisconsin
Conservationalist, published at Madi-
son, contained an article by H. E. Cole
Of Baraboo, as follows:
There is much wild life in the Bara-
boo Hills, that rugged range of quart
zite and sandstone forming the south
ern boundary of the Baraboo River
valley. Deer, raccoon, skunk, fox,
wolves, rabbits, and woodchuck, as
well as other smaller game, are estab-
lished there, the extensive wood and
broken surface forming more or less
OF protected retreat.

region get into the current Of the

mails in the woods near their home,
one with red coat was brought down.
Before it was possible to get it into
sack away from the dogs it was so
badly bitten it died few days later.
It's coat was much like that a red
fox. Late in October a white one,
purchased at Augusta, Wis, was ad-
ded to the ranch.
Whether or not coon wash their
food is sometimes discussed by nat
uralists. At the Stabnow farm if the
bread, cornbread, or crackers are
placed in dish and milk poured over
them they do not attempt to change
the condition of the food, but if the
dry bread is placed on the ground
they will dip it in water or milk be-
fore eating. Often they will wash a
piece of meat that has been thrown
on the earth and which has particles
clinging to it.
Raccoon may be taught tricks much
like dog. The large male at the
StabnOw place has been taught to
carefully take an egg and walk away
with it, carrying the spheroidal body
with one paw and walking on the
three remaining ones.
These less perfect plantigrade crea-
lures go into Information about the
time the first snow falls. If warm
days come they will emerge from
their sleeping quarters; otherwise
they will remain quiet for weeks and

come forth for food and exercise de-
ponds solely on the state of the wealth
er. After their long sleep they do
not seem to be overly ravenous, yet
eat more food than normally.
Pictures of coon are not easily OBJ
tainable because they are nocturnal.
During the day they prefer to sleep
and are often restless when brought
forth
A family of baby coon number all
the way from two to eight. The usual
number is four or five. They grow
rapidly and soon are able to care for
themselves.
The greatest number Of coon ever
taken from one tree near Barabo was
seven. These were holding a conven-
ton on the farm of William Wichern
when the family dog broke the still
ness of the night air All were taken
One Nimrod near Baraboo had a
distressing experience with a coon he
was using to train his dog. Ten dol
lars had been paid for the white and
black striped animal and the dog was
given a lesson in the usual way, as
indicated above in this article When
the coon was pulled from the tree
the first night he was permitted to
go close enough to the dog to bite
him The next time the coon was
led forth and permitted to seek seclu-
sion in a friendly tree, the dog was
swift and sure in locating his enemy.
Evidently the dog was in belligere-..
attitude; he had not forgotten mis-
past experience. AS soon as the coon
was brought within reach and be-
fore the owner could gasp a breath
the log was upon the coon, killing
him the fist round.

Mr.. Editor: thank the two gen

but would like to 60 little further
on the subject. If the time was
changed at the birth of Christ, was
it done by Divine authority? If SO,
please give US the text. If it was
not, the text will be found in Daniel
1926: And he shall speak great words
against the most High, and shall wear
out the saints of the most High, and
think to change times and laws; and
they shall be given unto his hand
until time and times and the divid-
ing of time
If the Sabbath was nailed to the
cross, where do we get Sunday sacred
ness? and if tithing was done away
with, where have we a system for
the support of the ministry? If all
was done away with, where do we
get religion?

low the traditions of men or the com
mandments of God? l.. w. Nations

on the ground and little dry hay
put over them they came to life and
attempted to fly. The weevls were
