A WELL-MERITED TRIBUTE.

The Springfield (Mass.) Republi-
can, in it's issue of Oct. 5, paid the
following well-merited tribute to the
editor of The Churchman, Rev. Will
lam Austin Smith, who died Sept. 27:
''He was deeply concerned in the
relation of the church to public well
fare and righteousness, and was
strong in defense of measures which
he believed conducive to the progress
of mankind. His convictions were
expressed with force and brilliance
of phrase, but always urbanely and
in the spirit of the fine culture that
he possessed. Zeal and independ@
ence of mind were reflected in a
broad, humane view of religion and
of a churchman's social obligations"

Thrown From Horse, Breaks
Both Arms.

Beatrice TOay, seventeen year old
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. John Toay,
started for ride on her horse last
Thursday evening when she became
the victim of very distressing acci-
dent. A new barbed wire fence had
been erected across the open field
where she had been accustomed to
riding and the horse was travelling
at fair rate of speed when it plung-
ed into the fence, the sudden stop
throwing Beatrice over its head.
The fall from the horse resulted in
the breaking of both arms above the
wrist. Beatrice began at once to
help her horse by freeing him from
the wires with her feet, after which
she removed the bride with her
teeth. Medical aid was summoned
at once and the bones were set. She
did not finch once, either at the time
of the accident or while the broken
bones were being set. Such pluck
and courage is unusual and much to
be admired.

Fire Destroys Barn on Collins
Farm.

Shortly before nine o'clock last
Wednesday evening, fire was dis
covered in the barn on the Collins
Bros farm near this city. The barn
was soon one big blaze which illu-
mined the sky so that the light
could be seen for miles. The fire
company of this city was summoned
and began work with the chemical
engine as soon as they arrived. With
the help of neighbors some of the
machinery in the machine shed near
by was saved but before the flames
could be conquered both the shed
and the big barn were destroyed.
Henry Wallenkamp, who has been
renting the Collins farm, lost all his
winter stock feed, team of horses,
milk wagon and a new Chevrolet
car. Some of the shredding machin-
cry that was near the barn was also
damaged. 1t is thought that a spark
from the shredder started the blaze
which was discovered by the men
while at supper, the cracking of the
flames attracting their attention.
Fortunately the barn and other prop
erty was covered by fairly large
amount of insurance.

FOREST FIRES CAN BE
PREVENTED.

Fire prevention week ended Oct.
8. The following was prepared by
The Farm Products Laboratory,
which is a member of the, Society of
American Foresters:
bad fires can be prevented. In
1920, 80 percent of the 5000 fires
in National Forests were extinguish-
ed by forest officers before serious
damage had been done. 1t costs less
than two and one-half cents per acre
year to protect these forests.
1.-THE bill we have paid for five
years carelessness is more than
100000. Let's stop being care
less andAhelp the government in
preventing fires"

BE NEIGHBORLY.

The Burlington Standard-D Democrat
is community builder. 1t seeks to
give the best it has to the city in
which it is printed. Here is some
good advice which we find in it's
issue of Oct. 6:
"It's great stunt to be-neighbor-
ly People who are neighborly add
a lot to the general happiness of the
world and put lot into their own
lives. They bring human sympathy
out of it's hiding place and put it to
work, and they get lot in return.
New faces and new friends add a lot
to the regular ordinary routine of eX-
istence, and Burlington is one of the
places where it is easy to get new
friends, and where it is usually
worth while to cultivate them.
The best reputation that any town
can have is the reputation of being a
neighborly town. You may not be
your brothers keeper and all that,
but if you really want to help your
home town into being a better town
and into getting all there is out of
all the people, the way to do it is to
know the other people. You never
can tell till you have tried out the
system of being neighborly, just how
much real pleasure there is in it.
1t can be added that being neigh
borly lis the decent thing to do. 1t
means that you are not hiding all
you have of interest in life under a
bushel, but that you are willing to
give little to the general cause of
spreading good-fellowship and MAX
ing the light of human sympathy
brighter in the lives of the people
around you.
Just take a census of the block
about your home and if you find that
there are some new people, there,
get them on your visiting list and
show them that Burlington likes
them to come and wants them to
stay. -

ABOUT FIRE PREVENTION.

Notwithstanding the many warn
ings given in regard to the preven-
tion of fires, the yearly losses by fire
throughout the country are enor-
nous. The purpose of this article is
to call attention to conditions exist
ing in Mineral Point which should be
remedied if we are to properly guard
against the occurrence of confiagra-
tions. In the city are numerous
barns and other old frame buildings
the removal Of which would be a step
in the right direction. We believe
that the city authorities should give
all possible encouragement to a
movement for the sale and removal
of all buildings which are generally
regarded as places where fires may
originate at any time. The recent
burning of the old Brown barn, in
the heart of the city, ought to serve
as warning of what may occur in
other parts of the city in the future.
Had strong wind prevailed at the
time of that fire it would have been
impossible to prevent the flames
from spreading TO the frame build
ings to the east and west of the
building destroyed. Further, the re-
moval of old, dilapidated structures
will not only guard against fires and
make the city more attractive, but
will make many of the lots on which
such buildings are situated available
for residence property, thereby in
creasing the value of the lots. Fire
prevention however, should be the
main purpose, and city officials and
other property owners should work
together for the attainment of this
purpose.

ACTED WITHIN RIGHTS.

There is no fear of trouble between
Great Britain and the United States
over the liquor question. A cable
from London to the Associated Press
says: .
Prohibition of liquors on vessels
within American waters will give
rise to no international complica-
tions, according to the view express
ed by British foreign Office officials
Monday. The governments view,
according to these authorities, is
that the matter is one in which the
take any action it sees fit."

Regarding the Right To Pick
Fruit Along Highways. !

Shullsburg Pick and Cad: It has
been decided by the courts that the
law regarding the ownership of wild
grapes and other fruit gives outsid-
ers no right to pick the fruit grow
ing along the highway. The farmer
owns everything from the fence to
the travelled track in the road and to
gather the fruit or other forms Of
vegetation against the consent Of the
owner is theft. Not many farmers
would object this year to the picking
of grapes, for everything in the fruit
line is plentiful, but those who do so
without the knowledge of the owner
of the farm can be prosecuted.

Last Friday the High School team
their old time rivals, the Dodgeville
team on the opponents field at 2:30
o'clock Weather conditions looked
rather dubious in the morning but
by the time of the game it was much
colder and this put much more snap
into both teams. Dodgeville, over
confident that they would win, start
ed the game with a bang, but when
they hit the Mineral Point line cav
eraging about It's pounds from tack
lie to tackle) they were promptly
bounced back. The first quarter was
a hard fought one but with many
bucks Mineral Point placed the ball
within few yards of touchdown.
In the second quarter our boys
made a touchdown and made the
kick also, giving Mineral Point a
score of Z. In the third quarter Min
eral Point put over another touch
down leaving the score 13 to 0, the
kick being unsuccessful. In the
fourth quarter Dodgeville succeeded
in putting over touchdown by
playing their game of aerial football,
being a series of forward passes.
The game ended with the score 13 to
Z in favor of Mineral Point. The
game was good clean game and not

Burlington Standard Democrat:
There are lots of soft snaps in this
world, but they seldom come to peo-
pie who are looking for them. The
young man who starts out to hunt
them generally dies an old man who
failed to find them. Honesty, thrift
and perseverance will produce them
in time, but an eternity of mere seek
ing will be of no avail.
