Judge Evans
Is Speaker

Judge K. A. Evans of this city was
the speaker Wednesday at the XII
wants club luncheon and gave an In
tensely Interesting and instructive
talk, dwelling ON the subject Of
worthless stocks that are sold to
gullible people. In his position on the
Federal bench, Judge Evans has
heard in full the details OF many
of these defrauding schemes and is
well qualified to talk on such a mat
ter. He said that worthless stocks
TO the amount Of five hundred MIL
lion dollars were sold annually in
this country and that professional
men lead the suckers, doctors and
lawyers being high up on the list.
Judge Evans outlined various forms
of stock selling schemes, among them
that of the so-called cooperative pack
ing plants whereby the farmer is
usually the chief loser. He said in this
case one farmer would be induced to
take some stock and then would be
taken along with the promoter to
other farmers and pointed to as one
of the stockholders. thereby helping
to lend credence to the project.
Judge Evans said he could not un-
derstand why a business man, at
least, when he wanted to make an
investment did not go TO his banker
and ask his advice rather than give
his money for some worthless stock.
He said that he knew of three citi-
zens of Baraboo who within the past
year had practically lost $17,500 in
this manner. Instances were cited Of
the loss suffered by the poorer class
or people who often put their entire
savings into some Of these fraudulent
stocks. The speakers talk was inter-
spersed with humorous stories and
his hearers gave intense attention
throughout.
While the luncheon was being
served the Terbilcox orchestra Of
three pieces rendered some delightful
selections, the music being furnished
by H. K. French both in honor of its
being Michigan day with the Kiwanis
club and also as a tribute to the
speaker of the day.
T. F. Risley, vice president of the
local Kiwanis club, presided in the
absence of the president. Several
visitors were present, among them
Prof r. S. Owen of Madison who is
camping at Devils Lake. He is a mem
Der of the Madison Kiwanis club and
made short talk to the local MEM
bers when introduced. The report of
the transportation committee was
laid over until the next meeting for
further consideration.

ANOTHER LONG-FELT WANT

One of the things that passed out
Of the dear old world with the war
was the habit of gliding the backs
and covers of novels. During the war,
for some reason. possibly they could
get away with it, the American pub
lishers began printing books with
colored or black lettering on the
backs and covers. And the habit has
persisted. AS a result, the library
shelves of Americans have a cheap
and flimpsy dullness where once the
golden smile OF decentlooking book
backs cheered the visitor. It is entire
ly defensible for a publisher to bring
out an experimental edition in cheap
colored ink covers. But when a book
begins to pick up, there is no excuse
for giving the public a cheap and
sloppy binding for what the public
is willing TO consider a good book
and buy generously. If the Amalga-
mated Critics. LoGrollers, Colyumists,
Book Reviewers and Editorial Wri-
ters' Union would call a strike upon
all books printed without gilt backs
much good might be accomplished. A
committee composed of Mr.. BrOun,
Mr.. Benchley Mr.. Walter .Prichard
Eaton, Mr.. William Lyon Phelps and
Mr.. Mencken is hereby appointed to
consider the matter and report at the
next regular meeting A. w, in

THE HOME
IN GOOD TASTE
BY Harold Donaldson Eberlein
Joint Author of "Practical Book Of
Interior Decoration" Etc.
No. 23-The Color of the Floor

No. 23-The Color of the Floor
The color of the floor is an import
tant matter if the whole surface is not
to be covered with carpet. A hard
wood or a parquetry floor will show
the natural color of the wood, but a
stained or painted floor at once brings
UP the question of color. This must
be settled in accordance with the
general scheme of the room.
The floor color, first of all, must
be a good background or foundation
for the carpet or rug which partly
aver it. If the floor coverings are
light in hue, the floor had better be
dark for the sake Of contrast. Be
careful, however, to have the color
harmonic with the color of the rugs
or carpet either by contrast or anal
ogy, as already explained in lesson
No. 16. 1t will be safest to have the
floor some neutral tone.
AS a general rule it is well to
have a painted or stained floor darker
than the walls. If, however, the floor
coverings are decidedly dark, it is
quite allowable to have the floor
light in hue. In doing so, settle upon
a color of neutral or receding quality
(see lessons IL and 13), so as to
avoid any possibility of disturbing
conflicts.

The Daily Fun Hour
GOING TO JERUSALEM

This is one of the oldest and even
now one of the most popular games
for young players. A row Of chairs
is arranged in the center of the room
one chair less than the number of
active players. Every alternate chair
is placed facing one side. every sec
ond cair faces the opposite side.
The leader, seated at the piano,
plays a lively march, first in quick
time, then slower, while the players
march around the chairs, keeping step
to the music. When, without warn
ing the piano playing stops, all the
marching players rush for the seats.
The player left out goes to .Jerusa-
lem; that is, he goes to the other end
of the room and remains there until
the game is over. When the players
rise to march again to the music an
other chair is taken away, and at the
end of the second round the leftover
player joins his fellow exile in Jerusa-
lem. a chair is taken away after
every march. until at last only one
is left, around which the two remain
ing players march The one who man
ages to secure the last chair is the
winner of the game.
Afterward the players in Jerusalem
may march back to lively music and,
choosing partners, dance all around
the last chair occupied by the victor
in the center of the circle dance. Then
at a signal from the hostess, the win
ner NAV rise and lead the grand
march out into the dining room.
