GOOD ADVICE By
JUDGE STEVENS

In the case of John Dickie against
the village of North Freedom, in
which an agreement was recently
reached, some excellent advice was
given by the court. The case was
heard at Madison and report of
the proceedings has been filed with
the clerk of court at Baraboo, with r.
w. Warne at North Freedom, and
with the attorneys.
After hearing tn case Judge Stew
ems advised that the matter be adj
justed and this was done He thought
that should the case continue it
would be a constant source of irri-
tation among the people there and he
desired that all go home and live
in neighborly way, with every one
there and forget the differences
brought about by the lawsuit
The court believed that Mr. Dickie
had performed a service in calling
to the attention of the members of
the board the provisions of the sta,
tutes, of which apparently the board
was not informed. He thought the
members of he board acted in good
faith while violating the statute.
Here are few of the things that
members of the village board may or
may not do:
1. They may act as inspectors of
election.
2. They cannot act as ballot clerks.
g. Any one candidate cannot
serve as an inspector
4. Goods for the village may be
purchased from a trustee providing
the amount does not exceed 500 in
a year. I
s. A member of the board cannot
be hired to perform labor for the
village.
g. Trustees may act as the board of
review and be compensated the same
as inspectors.
Z. Trustees may act on the board
Of health.
8. Trustees may audit the village
books
g. Salaries of officers must be APP
proved at an election. 1t was agreed
that those who had violated the
statute should pay Mr.. Dickie's at
torney and costs, the whole amount
ing to little over $290-the money
must not be paid out Of the village
funds.
Mr.. Warne, who had been included
in the suit, was not included in the
group of those who must pay on the
ground that his bill was for supplies
purchased for the village and not for
work done.
The case has been agreeably settled
and no doubt satisfac Glory to all con-
cerned.

CHANGE FORDS
AT REEDSBURG

A case Of mistaken identity in Ford
cars caused the police of BarabOo and
Reedsburg a busy half hour on Tues
day evening. A party of local young
men had been visiting in Reedsburg
and when they decided to return to
Barabbo, got into what they believed
to be their car and came to this city
leaving the machine standing on one
of the streets of the business district
here.
A call from Reedsburg informed the
local officials that the auto had been
stolen and when the driver came to
look over the car here he discovered
that it was not his machine but a
similar Ford touring car, 1923 model
IAN exchange of Fords followed, the
Reedsburg gentlemas driving the Bar
abco car to this city
Tt is said that the occupants of the
local machine had been gazing at the
moon" or like confusing substance
and so were unable to distinguish
their property from the other car
parked alongside.

IF~KAISER'S SON
STAYS, THREAT

The German government denies
+ reports that the former kaiser
is returning to Germany.
France insists that Germany must
expel ex-Crown Prince Friedrich vii
helm and that unless she does so
penalties must be applied
Premier Poincare has instructed
Jules Cambon, French representative
on the allied couscil of ambassadors,
to take this attitude when the coun-
Gil Wednesday discusses the situation
created by Friedrich Wilhelm's re-
turn to Germany.
The French demands will be based
on the contention that his return is
a violatin of the Versailles treaty.
Paris has not yet decided what
penalties should be taken in case the
allies demand extradition and Ger
many refuses. t6 a
France may advocate the occupa-
ton of further German cities, or O
strategic points in Germany, possibly
including the Main valley. Under any
circumstances, Poincare intends to do
his utmost to obtain an accord among
the allies for making joint demands
that Germany expel the former crown
prince.
