Probably no more striking instance
Of the influence of the stars on hui

only little more than half his term.
In February, 1920, four ladies I'M
known to Madam Marcia visited her,
wanting to know which would be first
lady of the land. Half way through
the reading, she pointed out Mrs.
Harding. One of the ladies returned
and asked to have her horoscope read,

her own initials. "This person." Mad

W. D. PORTER VISITS HIS OLD HOME AT
EAST TROY AFTER AN ABSENCE OF MANY
YEARS-RE CALLS LEAD MINING INDUSTRY

Recently w d. Porter Of Baraboo
visited his old home at East Troy
Wisconsin, after an absence of many
years. When Mr.. Porter resided there
was so long ago there were no rail-
roads and farmers had to drive their
hogs and other stock to Milwaukee
to be sold. Concerning his visit at
East Troy, The News of that place
says;
The News office was honored by
call last Thursday from Walworth
Delavan Porter a veteran of the Civil
war. who came through East Troy
from Milwaukee where the big re-
union was held last week. Mr.. Por-
ter resided in the town Of LAGRANGE

Samuel Porter having taken up 200
acres of government land in the
above town and Mr.. Porter's two
brothers also took up land adjoin-
ing his fathers homestead in the
year of 1881.

lena, where the mines were located,
with OK teams, the ore being taken
to Milwaukee.
Mr.. Porter left these parts in 184S
moving first to Delevan and two
years later to Baraboo, Wis, where
he is now making his home. He is
the only member of the family who
has survived, being man "a years

WISCONSIN DELLS DRAWS REC ORD CROWD
OF 100000 SIGHTSE Frs THIS YEAR-0ID
BOATMAN TF IL OF TRIPS MADE YEARS AGO

The scent beauty of the Dells of
Wisconsin is attracting the record
crowd of its history this year with
an estimate that the total attendance
ance will reach nearly 100000.
More than 100000 people from all
sections of the country viewed the
Dells last season and with the crowds
that have reached the Wisconsin re-
sort so far it is believed that last
years record will nearly be doubled.
Visitors at the Dells have increased
steadily in number during the last ~
years. Old time boat men on the river
like to recount the development of
the tourist business and its great
growth.
500 to 600 Visitors Daily
At first men with row boats took
two or three passengers to scenic
wonders and received two or three
dollars for trip. Now big steamers
carry hundreds and smaller launches
ride passengers right into the midst
of all that is to be seen, the boats
just fitting the narrows between the
rock cliffs.
Between 500 and 900 tourists visit
the Dells every day. On Sundays and
holidays the attendance reaches 5000
to $500 and on the Fourth of July
and Labor Day there are 5000 people,
with the sole object of seeing the
Dells.
What was once waste river bank
property has become gold mine to
the whole countryside the value OF
which could not be matched with
miles of fertile land.

A traveller visiting in Scotland one
day set out to explore some OF the
country roads. He took the journey
alone and the places were all strange
to him. He saw many sights of i'll.
terest and finally came to creek
over which he must cross or retrace
his steps. He stood and gazed down
at the flowing stream and hesitated,
While he was standing there along
came barefoot young girl of 1S
who asked him IL he wanted to cros1.
He told her yes. The lassie told the
man to get on her back and she would
carry him across. At first he hesitated
but upon persuasion climbed on the
girls back and with no little shame
and a great deal of surprise was cas-,
lily carried to the other side of the
stream. We hope she was given i.

rapid rise in the number of automo-
