TRAVELLER FROM
.BARABCO WRITES
OF LOUISVILLE
Mrs. L. H. Palmer, Who Is Visit
ing in Louisville, Kentucky.
Finds City Pleasant Place

The trip to Louisville was without
incident. A stop over with friends in
Chicago for the night Iessened the
tediousness somewhat.
There has been so much rain in Ind
lana and Kentucky that little has
been done on the farms, and that
only on the higher planes. Winter
grain and clover looks fine and there
is promise of fine fruit crop, though
we escaped a frost last night by a
close margin.
There are a number of beautiful
natural parks in and around Louis
vile, each containing several hundred
acres of land on which grow all the
native trees and flowers. These parks
are the children's paradise, as they
have the privilege of playing where
they will, as there are no Keep off
the grass" signs. They are named
after the Indian tribes who once
roamed over the wilds of Kentucky:
the Iroquois, Shawanee and Chero-
kee, the last named being the finest.
Park guards keep the parks clear
and feed the birds and squirrels. and
have general supervision ever every
thing. There is a fine statue of that
old time hero, Daniel Boon, placed to
mark where one of the worst battles
with the Indians was staged that was
fought during all those awful times.
One can hardly realize, as seated in
the shade of the majestic trees, lis
tening to innumerable birds as they
pour forth a perfect medley of glad
some music, and the peaceful hab-
bling of the creek, that winds grace
fully through the green isles that not
so long ago( as time is reckoned) this
tract was known as the dark and
bloody ground" of Kentucky.
Louisville is a fine city with many
and varied manufacturing interests.
There are hosts of negroes, and mix
ed breeds, which adds much embar-
rassment to business affairs. John
Barleycorn dies hard, though the fed
eral officers have made several ar
rests recently They have shot two
arrests, which has created consider
able excitement and the officers have
been summoned before the grand jury
The press seems TO favor the arrested
men. taking sides against the officers,
what the outcome will be is uncertain.
/ go for long drives through the
surrounding country nearly every day,
and certainly enjoy the sights. There
are many elegant homes around
Louisville, especially in the Highlands
and the care of them gives employ
ment to thousands of colored peo-

An alarm of fire was turned in
from the home or Mrs. Augusta

by threatening blaze at the United
Consumers Oil Co.'s tank in that
nefghborhood.
Ernest Gerstenkorn, an employee
of the oil company was engaged in
filling a 300 gallon delivery motor
truck tank when without warning
flames burst forth. Young Gersten-
korn declares that he was not smok-
ing and the origin of the blaze is so
far a mystery.
The large tank from which the de-
livery tank was being filled, has a
capacity of $4,000 gallons; 5000 gal
Ions were put into the tank last
week and it is estimated that the big
tank contained about 1000 gallons of
gasoline when the fire broke out.
The platform on which the tank is
mounted quickly took firel 1t is
thought that the flames were con-
fined to the outside of the big tank.

exploded almost Immediately.
The delivery truck with about $50
gallons of gasoline was burned as
was also a Ford touring car owned
by Mr. Gerstenkorn.

EXERCISESIz4T
HIGH SiE|OOL
WELL ATTENDED
Address Is Argument for Imme-
date Limitation of Armament
by Agreement

The disarmament exercises at the
high school Wednesday evening were
quite well attended, although, in con
sideratiOn of the excellent program
il is regretable that every seat was
not taken The Boys Glee club under
the leadership of their teacher, Miss
Guider, opened the meeting with sew
eral selections which were very much
appreciated by the audience. The
disarmament slides, prepared by J.
A. Rawson of New York City were
shown and the explanatory lecture
was read by Ralf 7. Runge, who also
welcomed the audience on behalf of
the Twentieth Century club, under
whose auspices the entertainment
was given.
The address is an argument for
immediate limitation of armament by
international agreement as a prelim-
mary to world disarmament. The 40
slides include statements by PTesi-
dent Harding, Generals Pershing and
Bliss. Admirals Sims and Fiske, Rep
resentativa Frear, Carrie Chapman
Gait, Secretary Hoover, former sec
retaries Houston, Daniels and Wicker
sham, Senators Borah, HOke, Smith
and Norris. Also figures of military
expenditures. tax increases due to
war, diplomatic settlements, present
naval strength, etc.
Such thoughts as these were thrown
on the screen:
What do we gain by war?
What do we lose?
Do armaments prevent other wars,
or do they avert other wars?
How naval men disagree as to use
fulness of battleships etc.
What disarmament is doing for
Germany (giving her a fine chance
10 recover industrially).
How warfare robs welfare.
Is war the only way, the cheapest
way, the Christian way?
Our responsibility and opportunity
as a nation and as individuals.
DISARMAMENT helps Ehe peo-
pie, armament aids the exploit
ers OF the people
The final thought Of the lecture was,
Work as hard to prevent the next
war as you did to win the last war,
and there will be no more wars.
Secretary.

SPLENDID TALK
AT CLUB LUNCH
kiwanians Learn Something
About the Non-Partsan League
In North Dakota

]. w. Jackson of Madison was the
speaker at the Kiwanis club luncheon
Wednesday, his subject being North
Dakota and the Non-Partisan league.
Mr.. Jackson stated that it was lust
twenty-six years ago since he was in
Baraboo and his visit here at that
time made it necessary for him to
change his plans for the future. He
came here to play baseball against
the Baraboo High school and during
the course of the game was knocked
unconscious by the ball, resulting in
injury to his eyes. He was obliged
to give up his studies and went west,
settling in North Dakota. That state,
he said, is called the bread basket
of the world-farming is the one
great industry and everything depends
on the price of wheat.
The farmers in North Dakota be-
lieved that they should have terminal
grain elevators and the failure of the
legislature to appropriate sum for
this purpose, although the plan had
bCCh ohOW II 1Ob &CdSiUl6. UEOuBUI
about the Non Partisan league. Any
one wko did not join the organization
was looked upon as an enemy of the
farmer. The league got under the
control of the socialists; the I. w.
W., socialists and other malcontents
joining with the honest farmer until
practically all the undesirablo5 were
sibsoi bed. The league finally secured
control of the legislature, elected its
state officers and got control of the
supreme court Then laws were pass
ed to suit the wishes of those in pow
er. A state bank was organized and
law passed making it compulsory to
deposit public moneys there; the
league just failed by two votes in
passing the red flag law; school
teachers were hired only if they could
adequately answer questions pertain
ing to the Non-Partisan league with
the idea of intoxicating into the
youth these same thoughts. The war
record of the Non Partisan leaguers
was damnable-they preached sedi-
tion.
Finally, two years ago, a terminal
elevator was erected at Grand
Forks, (not a terminal point at
cost OF one and a half million dollars,
only to prove a failure.
Mr.. Jackson stated that the taxes
on his farm in North Dakota had
gone up three hundred per cant in
five years and there had been fifty
six bank failures in the state. He
recited many other facts 20 show the
harmful effects OF the league and
stated that he regarded it as a
scOurge as threatening to the coun-
try as any foreign power ever was.
The organizers OF the league have
been leaving North Dakota and some
have come to Wisconsin bringing
danger to this state and Mr.. Jack
son warned against it.
During the Meeting Of the T,iwanls
club, L H. Hill advised the mem
bers of the Kiwanian convention at
Toronto in June, President Quale an
nounced a film project to advertise
this section, and H. K. Page report
ed for the publicity committee re-
garding proposed circular matter to
put within the reach Of possible
tourists to this locality.
