accompanied the team. In the first
quarter Reedsburg recovered a Bara-
boo tumble and not being able to gain
they tried a field goal but it failed.
Soon after Reedsburg recovered an
other tumble and went through for a
touchdown. In the second half Bara-

INSPIRING TALK
is GIVEN CLUB
Blind Doctor Describes How
Perseverance and Grit Defeated
Affiction

The talk on Wednesday by DIR. 7
W. Bolotin at the MONDAY luncheon
or the Baraboo Kiwanis club at the
Park restaurant was a revelation of
what can be accomplished bv a
person born blind but possessed Of
grit and perseverance. DR.. Bolotin met
with obstacles of every description
In trying to secure his medical educa-
tion, enough to discourage a man
possessed of all his senses. but each
turn of adversely only served to re-
double DIR. BolOtin's determination
to accomplish what he set out to do.
The speaker gave an account of the
vicissitudes he met with from the
time he was little boy, and the place
he occupies AMONG men today should
be an encouragement to any one
handicapped for life's battle by af-
Fiction of one kind or another.
DR.. BolOtin's talk was replete with
amusing stories and his whole speech
was voted one OF the best that the
club has heard. He told of how. at
the age of five, he was sent to the
state school for the blind at Jackson
vile. ILL.,, how physical education
played an important part in the
schools curriculum, and how the
blind children were taught to be
strong. quick and self reliant. After
leaving school DR.. Bolotin started to
earn his living as a typewriter sales
man in which he was successful.
mOdestly ascribing his success to
others rather than to his own per-
everance. Later he took up osteo-
pathy and then aspired to become a
doctor of medicine. In this he was
discouraged at every hand. the state
board of health stating that he would
not be given a license to practice
even if he completed his course. This
rebuff only served to increase his
desire to become a doctor The first
medical school he attended proved to
be fake and he was mulcted out of
four years tuition He then attended
the Valparaiso university Of Indiana
and after four years of ceaseless
work, getting his lessons under the
most trying circumstances, he COM
lleted his course, Tie state board a.
first refused to examine him but the
members were told he could do no
more harm than the doctors that
could see for at least he would not be
able TO perform operations. His ex-
animation finally cost him S1O5 as
he was forced to take an oral exam
ination and was given one of the
most difficult that could be devised.
DR.. Bolotin. however, successfully
passed it and was finally appointed
attending physician at the Dunning
tuberculosis hospital at a salary of
500 per month. He began to forget
he was blind and became a happy man
but his greatest pleasure came when
he was able to go to those who con-
ferred the appointment upon him and
say that he was forced to resign his
position on account of the press of
outside practice. He is now with the
United States gvernment as an expert
on tuberculosis and his happy state

SAYS COURTS HAVE
DIRECTION OF WORK

In answer to the inquiry as to
whether the state welfare board may
refuse to accept new cases when it
appears that the funds on hand will,
during the remainder Of the fiscal
year. care for only such as are now
under their care; or must theya acon-
tinue to accept cases so long as there
are any funds left in hand. notwtih-
standing by so doing the board would
be obliged TO discontinue the care
of some or all OF its wars. W. J. Cal
braith, attorney general has given
the following decision based on the
session laws OF 1921. chapter SO, Sec
tions 3 and 8, relative to the welfare
board:
From the reading OF said sections.
along with all of said chapter we are
OF the opinion that 1t is within the
discretion of the state child welfare
board that particular children and
mothers they will take charge OF. or
give help to, and as to the length OF
time, but such discretion is subject.
however, to the supervisions and or
ders and directions which kmav be
made by the superior court of the
county in which q given child resided
at the time the board first assumed
control over the person OF such child:
and also subject to the power vested
in such courts to may any order con-
corning any child as TO the adoption
and guardianship of said child,
whether the state child welfare board
has acted thereon or not"
The opinion quotes the two sec
tions Of the session laws referred to.

large stretches OF land are under

which, starting from a little town
called Leeuwarden, it Is possible to
travel over the ice in a circle, and
after visiting six other towns. find
oneself near Leeuwarden again. The
distance which must be covered to

MUCH INTEREST IS
SHOWN IN ADDRESS

A large audience greeted the ap-
pearance of A. B. Ballentyne as prin-
cipal speaker at the last meeting Of
the Wilson district farm bureau and
a great deal of interest was shown
by the farmers in the organization.
Mr.. Ballentyne spoke on the i'm
portance of cooperation in solving
the problems of a farm community.
The people of the Wilson district are
much interested in fruit and vege-
table growing as well as poultry
raising. The district is favored with
especially good garden soil and most
of the asparagus grown in the valley
comes from here.
Men were present at the meeting
who had never before attended a
farm bureau meeting. Five OF these
men expressed their desire to join
and at the conclusion OF the meeting
paid dues for 1922 and became ac-
credited members.
The subject OF the next meeting
will be the growing and marketing of
fruit and vegetables and will be held
March is. The farm buerau is ex-
pecting to organize the fruit and
vegetable growers Of the valley to
promote the industry and make the
Salt River valley known all over the
United States for the quality Of these
products. The bureau Is making an
effort to enlist every farmer in the
valley 10 get together and iaake their
industry more profitable.
Mr.. Ballentyne will be in the valley
all this week and meetings are being
arranged for Glendale, Washington.

radical in their ideas. without. the
shadow of a doubt, but it must be
said for them that they have been
heading in the right direction, as
they saw it. Their errors seem to
have been those of men unused to
power. They firmly believed, for ex-
ample, that money only needed a
printing press back of it.
Prohibition and Revenues
So that Sonora was abruptly
launched into state of high .prohi
bition. The state varied some times,
II is true. Now and then a more than
ordinarily acute need for money led
the Sonora authorities to a compro
mise. In Hermosillo, for example, are
state orphanages, and there have
been times when the states revenues
were lacking for their support. At
such times certain saloon keepers
were licensed to sell certain drinks
In Mexican Nogales money derived
from such license was turned over to
certain other charities, according to
some authorities.
The net results or prohibition. how
ever was precisely what it has been
in the United States. Bootleggers be-

half a dozen sound and durable for
tunes that were founded on nothing
more tangible than a sizable hip
pocket, The more prohibition the
more bootleggers there were. Finally
the state authorities realized that
bootleggihg was far worse than a
state controlled sale of liquor. Not
only did the state get no revenue at
all of the business. and 1t needed
revenue sorely. but the effects were
just what they have been shown to
be in the United States. There may
not have been more drunkenness but
there was drunkenness Of a more
dangerous sort,
High License Experiment
An experiment was made with very
high license. but the license was too
high. The drinkers could not afford
to pay the price demanded. Here in
Guaymas the saloonists went on

strike. They closed up their places
for a week or so in protest, and
eventually the state authorities re-
duced the tax on liquor. That is one
excellent feature of the Mexican form
Of government. Decree may follow
decree and usually does. The laws
may not be quite as stable and un-
changeable as our. but at least laws
can be produced by this method
which will be obeyed.
Now the tax is still so high that
the average Mexican cannot drink a
legal drink at all. Beer of fair quail
ity costs so cents gold bottle here,
as against Is cents gold in the state
of Nayarit. q few hundred miles far
ther south. So does a dring of whis-
ky, and the bartender does not fill
a pony glass to the top. After all
the other taxes are paid the special
liquor tax on whisky is $11.50 gold
or 20 pesos a case. That is so high
that the bootlegger continues to
operate, but the general opinion is
that it has cut down his business
materially. Many saloonkeepers are
by nature law abiding and prefer to
pay the states tax and sleep at night
But bootlegging is still going on.
Sad Days For Saloonkeepers
Here in Guaymas the saloonkeeper
who was used in the good old days to

but one bar in Guayamas to which
Americans go. 1t was as lonesome
as Crusoe's island. The proprietor

If there happened to be customers

said that It didn't pay him to keep

because he didn't know what to do.
