Canadian immigration.

The extent to which Canadian inn migration has been encouraged is re- yeaIed in the annual report of the Canadian Pacific railway, which has just been presented to the sharehold- CTS by E. w. Beatty, K. C., president. Since the company's land-selling policy was instituted, some 54,OO0 settlers have been placed on the company's lands alone, and the cost of the com pany's activities in land selling. irri- cation and colonization has been ex- tremely large, amounting in the aggre- gate to approximately $68,OO0,OOO, an amount in excess of the total expendi- ture of the Dominion government for immigration during the same period.

SUPREME COURT IN
DECISION FOR REID
Controversy Over Pardoning
Power of Governor In
Christ Case Settled By
High Court

The Wisconsin Supreme Court, with
out dissenting opinion decided this
week that Governor Blaine did not
have the right to remove Hans Rodd,
Of Rhinelander, sheriff of Oneida coun-
ty, from office, due to his refusal to
liberate P. J. Christ from jail where
he was serving four months SEN
tence imposed by Judge Reid.
1t was a case without parallel in
the history of Wisconsin and attract
ed much attention, particularly in the
northern part of the state where Judge
Reid, Sheriff Rodd, and Christ, as well,
are well known The fact that the de,
cision rendered by Justice Owens was
concurred in by all the rest of the
Supreme Court Justices will make it
plain to every sheriff hereafter that
no governor can interfere Win them
when following instructions from the
circuit judge of the district.
If, as many believe, the purpose Of
the Christ pardon was to strengthen
Governor Blaine with the labor vote,
it has not succeeded very well, and
on the other hand has probably alien
ated many from him who otherwise
might have been his supporters in
the next campaign.

INDUSTRIAL BODY IN
PLEA FOR CLEANUP
Springtime Is Cleanup Time
for Everybody-Do Your
Part to Make Town
Look Better

Your home needs a new dress, mi
nus blotches made by dirt, filth and
rubbish A stranger judges a town
by its looks.
You will find this rubbish any
where, everywhere, in streets, alleys,
yards, fence and building corners, in
Easements, attics, closets, area-ways,
sheds and barns. Gather it and place
it on the curb or along an alley, so
the city wagon can get it convenient
ly Under a authority of Section OPT
city councils may direct the removal
of such rubbish at public expense. If
such action is taken, publish a notice
that refuse, litter, trash and ashes
piled along the street or alley by the
evening of May first will be hauled
away free by the city. Wagons will
be sent around for that purpose the
following morning. You must be
ready, if you want this free service. .
A clean town means greater safety,
better health, increased happiness and
satisfaction.
Mayors and village presidents are
asked to proclaim the first week of
May as Cleanup Week.
Kipling wrote: tits the everlast-
ing team work of every blooming soul
that wins the day"
The householder, the shop keeper,
the factory manager and all other
owners and occupants of property
must lend their aid Women's clubs,
commercial clubs and other civic
bodies should take an active part in
cleaning up and identifying the city.
Boy Scouts and school children can
be organized as cleanup SQUADS for
parks and school grounds and build
ings.
Firemen and local health officers
should see that this cleanup is done
thoroughly, and should also inspect
school buildings and other public
buildings for safety and cleanliness.
When your home town is clean,
keep it SO. One cleanup a year only
mayAprove as valuable as one annual
bath.
There are other things which need
your attention, such as, cleaning and
repairing chimneys, replacing old,
dry, moss covered shingles with in
combustible roof coverings, replacing
broken and missing siding, and clos
ing up other needless wall openings
where sparks might enter, rusty
smokepipes and detective electric
wiring,
Spring is the painting season, burn
all oily waste and rags and prevent

Whitewash on interior woodwork

Do not burn rubbish near buildings
or on a windy day and see that the
fire is out before you retire. Watch
children playing around bonf1res;
clothes ignite readily and death or
bad burns may result
Make your town the cleanest of the

An Essay on the Spring Season

An Essay on the Spring season
The time has come when the voice
of the spring bird is again heard in
the land. Winter is past and the call
of the field rings in our ears. So friend
of the farm get down the old brush
hook and scythe from their resting
places and grind them sharp for there
is work to do. To be idle now is loss,
so saunter sprightly into the bush
and attack it with vim for there
should be clover where now the brush
grows. Haste on before the day
comes when the desire to labor will
flee and the lure of the friendly shade
tree will be strong.
Be not deceived by the tempter,
Reconstruction. He speaks in voice
so soft and sweet and says; wait
awhile 1t will be easier by and by"
But those who listen and heed the
deceptive voice will find misery and
woe, and repenting will say, I'm
waiting I've wasted time and land,
Now l must rush and cut the brush,
for of oats and corn and hay l have
none If l had only worked in the in
vigorating spring | would not need to
toll in the blazing sun! Woe is me
the procrastinator'
So stake out your acres, five or ten
as you may choose and go to work
with will and do not rest until you
have passed the goal that you set.
The stump is dead so plant a spud in
its stead. In place of brush grow
oats nd hay and you will meet for
tune on your way.

Hayward's Philosophy
E. F. Hayward, Conover Wis.
THE BLACK SHEEP
village has some urchin,

Every village has some urchin,
Whe makes all the others talk.
You can find him without searching
He's the black sheep of the flock.
He's the one who's never hurrying,
SO he'll not be late at school;
Keeps his pa and ma a-worrying,
Fraid he's going to be a fool.
Rather swim or go a-fshing,
Than to study books all day,
Til he gets the neighbors wishing
He'd pull out and stay away.
All the neighbors prophesying,
Awful things for such young goats,
Seems that all the time he's trying,
To find a place to SOW wild oats.
Never seemed to have a yearning Z
For the things good children had,
Put in all his time a learning,
Things that other folks call bad
Never did thing unlawful,
Never stole or told a lie,
Just cut up and acted awful
'Nough to make a christian cry.
Ran away fore he was twenty,
No one knew which way he went.
Folks said, Hell soon get plenty
Traniping round without cent"
That's the truth the prophets hit it;
That's the time they guessed just
right.
If he'd been doing wrong he quit it
Fore he started out that night.
Struck right out without penny,
But he didn't stay broke long,
For of friends he soon made many
Strangers did not guess him wrong.
To them, he did not look the sinner,
He'd been rated as a youth;
They all picked him for winner
And they struck it; that's the truth.
Stayed away ten year and over
Won fame and fortune way out
west
Seems the black sheep finds the clover
And often times turns out the best.
