MAKING PROFITS ON REAL
ESTATE

The movement 10 induce people
to make an. effort TO own their own
homes, should show them how they
can often turn a handsome profit
by buying real estate. Many houses
are sold much below their true value
because they have beeh allowed to
lapse into an unattractive condition.
They may I've substantially built, hut
the lack Of superficial repairs and
paint makes them look nprepossess-
ing.
An cnterprising and industrious
owner can make money on places OF
that character, and there are chances
of that kind in L,esburs. If one l.
skilled with tools, he can make
many repairs for himself. I'M
provement Of the lawn aud setting
ont shrubs, trees and flowers will
transform once shabby looking
home, and make tia nest of beauty
The result Of such an effort is COM
moaly to induce the neighbors, t.
clean up and improve their property
Thus streets once disorderly and un-
cared for begin to take on new
style and spirit. Purchasers like to
move into such location, and real
estate owners find that values have
enhanced without much money be
ing spent. If sales are made, the
gains are usually much greater than
liz the money invested had been on
interest.
In most towns there are enter
prislng men who have turned a
handsome profit by buying such
places that sold at low prices be-
cause of their unattractive condition.
Then they tuned them ny repairs
ana lifted the location to a better
level on which property could be sold
at good profit.
But people who make such inn
provements usually become so at
tached to the home thus developed !,
into which they have pnt their labor
of love, that the possession OF the
place means more than any dollars

existence of this spirit OF develop

and will go far to attract new resi-
dents and bring in civic advantages

That industry is the American school

enterprise. to teachers and school
boards. They kick vehemently il

vet they never are if the success OF
this undertaking does not depend

Teachers and school boards who

The success of school operation
can be greatly promoted, and the

MODERN PROVERBS

Rage is brief insanity.
Eternity has no gray hairs.
Gentleness is not weakness.
Promise little and do much.
Talept repeats-genius creates.
Learn the luxury of doing good.
Great ships require great waters.
Conduct hath the loudest tongue.
Inquire not what is in another's pot
Ignorance and fear go hand in hand,
Don't pluck the apple until it is ripe.

CHILDREN IN DUG-OUT
LOSE LIVES AT PLAY

Mr.. and Mrs. Arthur Beatty, farm
ers living at Woodstock, Richland
county, lost three small daughters in
dreadful tragedy Saturday afternoon
a week ago. Clarice, 3, Marjorie, 4,
and Lucille, 6, lost their lives in a
cave-in on the farm.
On the afternoon mentioned Mr..
Beatty was at the Richland county
fair. Mrs Beatty was at home with
the five children. Mrs Beatty allowed
the little girls to play in the yard
while she put the baby, a boy of six
months to sleep.
Half an hour later the mother went
in search of the children. She found
cavern on the hillside where a root
cellar had been started and then
abandoned owing to the loose charac-
ter of the soil. One child's foot was
protruding from the sand and rock.
Mrs. Beatty's screams brought Mr..
and Mrs. Fred Neefe, neighbors, and
they summoned further aid. One
child was taken out, dead, in a few
minutes. The other two children were
buried under rock and sand and some
time was required to remove them
Efforts toward resuscitation were I'M
availing.
The triple funeral was held at
Woodbridge last Monday.

RICHLAND ESTATE PAYS
$4,000 INHERITANCE TAX

The estate of the late D. G.. James,
deceased, on Monday paid to County
Treasurer, J. W. Mick, the sum of six
thousand dollars as inheritance taxes
under the laws of Wisconsin. This is
by far the largest inheritance tax paid
by any estate in Richland county. In
his life time, Mr.. James was the third
heaviest tax payer in this city. In
leaving his estate to his children, our
progressive system of state govern
ment, steps up and helps itself to the
nifty sum of six thousand dollars.
Yes, we are progressing all right At
ter the state gets the tax levy as high
as the law permits, it raises more tax
money in the way of Inheritance taxes.
The United States government still
has a pass at this estate for a few

SINGING SANDS OF BOSCOBEL

One of the strange freaks of nature
are the singing sands of Boscobel.
Probably at no place on the Wis
consin river is it more advantageous
to listen to the singing sand than
along the sand bars from Spring
Green to Boscobel. The phenomenon
of the singing sands is a thing which
biologists have been able to give no
scientific explanation. Walking over
the sand bars one can hear the sands
singing for distance of from four to
five rods-a weird moaning sound.
Prof. w. O. Hotchkiss of the geology
department of the university first no.
ticed these singing sands at Spring
Green several years ago, but recently
on a trip along the Wisconsin river at
Boscobel he again discovered the pc
culiar phenomenon.
There is no satisfactory explana-
ton for the singing sands so far as
know" said Prof. Hotchkiss. 1.-THE
phenomenon seems to depend upon a
certain degree of moisture in the
sands. 1t will not be found along the
waters edge, where the sands are wet
and soggy. Neither will it be found
close to the bluffs or far distant from
the water, where the sands are very
dry. 1t will generally be found be-
tween these two extremes.
"It is probable that this same
phenomenon may be noticed else
where, but 1 have never found it ex-
cept along the Wisconsin river. Where
the sands are singing one can rub his
hands over the sands and get much
the same sound. 1t is a very unusual
and seldom noticed phenomenon.
"The singing sands do not seem to
differ from the silent sand along the
Wisconsin river in any other respect
In all probability it is the grinding of
the sand grains over each other at a.
certain degree of moisture that pro-
duces the weird singing sound"
