WATCH AUTO COMING
FROM THE RINHT

Some argument and much discus
sion has been INDUCED in over the
que stion Of which automobile has the
right-ofway when they meet at inter-
sections Of streets in the city or on
country roads. Numerous collisions
and near collisions have resulted
owing TO the majority of drivers of
motor vehicles being ignorant OF the
law regarding this situation. Said
law (Sec. 1631-1) states: "xxx At
the in tersection Of this state the
operator or driver of any vehicle shall
have the right-of-way over the opera
tor or driver of any other vehicle ap-
preaching him on such cross street
or highway from the left, excepting
only in cases where a police officer
shall be in actual charge of the reg
ulation Of traffic at such intersection"
1t viii be well for all motorists to
remember the above ruling where the
season opens and not take it upon
to step on 'er" every
time they chance upon a car that hap
pens IL turn in their street. Remem-
Der that the automobile approaching
form the RIGHT at the intersection
OIL any street has the right of way.

WRITE
GOOD TURN At
TROOP MEETING

"The Boy Scott motto is DO a good
turn daily, and it is the essence of
scouting. 1t is done quitely and with
out boasting. 1t may be the smallest
and most ordinary act conceivable. 1t
may be an act which saves a life or
relieves suffering. The deed must be
something extra and consciously per-
formed, quietly and without osten-
tatiOn."
This was the declaration made by
Scoutemaster A. w. Leifch, Troop
33, Madison, in commenting on the
good turns done to others by the mem
bers of his troop. The scouts wrote

LOVERS Are
STOPPED BY
ANGRY FATHER
Arthur Potterville of This City and
Miss Marian Nimicheck, La
Crosse, Would Marry

The old old story of love and a
fathers opposition to the match was
enacted the past few days and reach
ed a climax Wednesday evening in
Baraboo when Miss Marian Mimi
check, age II, of La Crosse boarded
the seven o'clock train at the local
station for her home in company with
an officer sent by her father to locate
the young lady.
Arthur Potterville, World war vet
eran, who makes his home in this
city, is the male factor in the love
drama and Marian came to Baraboo
a few days ago to wed the ex-service
man, it is claimed. Miss Nimicheck
and Mr. Potterville became acquaint-
ed when the young lady attended
Whitewater normal and the young
man made his home in Racine. Since
then the setting has changed and
Marian was at her home town in La
Crosse completing school and Arthur
in Baraboo working.
The lure of romance brought Miss
Nimicheck to Baraboo two days ago
but unfortunately her lover boarded
the same train she left on his way to
Racine to attend the funeral OF a
relative. The young lady lost no
time in wiring to Madison tc bring
him back, IT. is claimed, and the two
were TO obtain a license in Baraboo
if only papa Nimicheck had not tel
ephoned to Chief of Police Otto Har-
mel. The father guessing the where
abouts of his runaway daughter no.
titled local authorities and also sent
a La Crosse official here. The daugh-
ter was soon located by Chief Harmel
and placed in the custody of the La
Crosse one on his arrival.
Today as result Mr.. Potterville is
sick abed and Miss Nimicheck is
drowning her sorrows at home.
Mr.. Potterville, an ex-service man
and wounded in the war, was given
employment at the Trimpey studio sew
eral months ago.

PASSION PLAY
FOR BARABOO
Eternal Light" VIII Be Shown
Under Auspices of knights of
Columbus

The saddest, the most tragic and
the most sublime story in all the
world-the story of Our Lords pas
sion and death, will be told in eight
thousand feet of film at st. Joseph's
auditorium Tuesday. April 11th., at
4 and S:15 p. m.
All the scenes in this wonderful
drama are actually taken in the Holy
Land, at an enormous cost. Those
having the affair in charge state that
all who can, should go to the matinee
at 4 o'clock and avoid the danger OF
not being able to gain admission in
the evening.
The Knight of Columbus, in pre-
senting series of high class moving
pictures to the citizens of Baraboo
are not doing this for any material
gain. and consequently, only a very
small admission fee is charged, to
cover the actual expense connected
with them.
No more appropriate picture could
be presented to the people of Baraboo,
during Holy Week, when we are COM
menorating the sufferings and death
of Our Lord on the cross. for love
Of US.

SAMUEL JENKINS WARS
SPARROWS I'm ORDER
TO SAVE SONG BIRDS

Samuel Jenkins. Chippewa Falls,
head Of the Humane society for Chip
pewa county, for many years a de-
fender of the English sparraw, has
come out emphatically in favor of its
destruction, asserting sparrows must
be exterminated in the song birds
are to be saved.
Mr.. Jenkins attributes his change
OF mind to a close study OF the ha-
bits Of birds and has found that with
an ever increasing number OF spar
rows there has been corresponding
decease in the number of song birds.
Next to the hawk, the sparrow is put
down as the worst enemy Of the song
bird.
While there is protection of song
birds. the law permits the killing at
all seasons OF English sparrows.

Last Meeting
OF Debaters

On Wednesday evening the high
school debating society held the last
regular meeting OF the season in the
assembly room. About 40 were pres
ent and a most profitable session it
was. Roll call was answered by a
minute talk fl ON each member max
ing suggestions for improvements in
the work next year. This brief part
OF the program showed the effect of
the years work, for the fellows stood
up and talked like veterans.
For debate, the old subject of
capital punishment held the attention
and it was we'll discussed. For capital
punishment Macarthur, Olds and Isen.
berg made strong talks, while the
negative was supported by McGann,
Kramer and Wartzok. The negative
won. The relatives value of the horse
and cow was debated by Culver,
Rohn, Francis Lenihan and Capener.
This was a lively debate and created
much interest. The critics report
was not very critical, being rather in
the nature of commentator of the
good points of the speakers and a
general praising of the excellent
work done by the society for the
year. Later on special meeting will
be held for the election OF officers
for 1ext year. 1t is certain that run
ming start" will be made b. the so
ciety next fall.
