ly no part Of America in which wild
game. both birds and animals. can be
found in greater numbers o. variety
than in the Mexican states Of Tamauli-

foreigner who does not comply fully

Sportsmen Unacquainted with Rules
Sportsmen coming to the border with
the intention Of crossing into Mexico TO
enjoy the excellent shooting that coun-
try affords seldom take the trouble

they grasp the fact that there j. much
red tape 10 unrol before they can take
their outfits across the border.
On the American side Of the border
the sportsman is required 20 register his
automobile. and thp registration certifi-
cate must be shown upon his return.

Prin. J. E. Philips spent Thursday,

course, required by the state depart

Will J. Massingham of Chippewa

Mr.. Csahagan took advantage 4of
the closing of the training school last
Friday while the students were Wis
iting country schools, to have several
radiators rearranged to give the best
service under present conditions. Mr..
Haines did the work.
During a recent visit made to one
of the rural schools by member
of the training school faculty a
sixth grade boy amused himself and
disturbed the order of the school by
making a nose at the teacher when
ever her back was turned, poking
his neighbor, and talking in audible
under tones until the young lady
member of the training school faculty
unable to stand the willful disorder
any longer, took the boy by the

in his seat. Any sensible person
would have done no less; but tht
boys father apprised of the occur,
ance rushed to school, shook his
fist in the young lady's face and
stentorously vociferated his dis
pleasure. 1t is easy to trace the
source of this boys disorder accord

THE WASHINGTON ELM

The regret that is felt at the Gown-
fall of the Washington elm at Cam
bridge is discounted by the fact tina
two months ago, as then recorded
in our columns, the historic tree was
authoritatively pronounced to be dead
1t was gratifying to know that it died
of old age, in spite of tender and ex-
pert care, and not, as innumerable
fine trees have persisted, through
careless or deliberate i'll treatment
by man.
That regret is moreover, now
tempered by the thought that the
old tree did not, even in death, suf,
fer the stroke of the woodlands al,
but yielded only to the fury of the
elements and to it's own decay. It
would have ben lamentable to see
men chop it down as numbering tie
ground. There was something eQl1
in the spectacle of the veteran of ceI--
turtles crashing into ruin through the
inf1rmities of age under the stress of
the last Of the autumnal storms its
mighty bole had braved.
A fitting monuments will doubt
less mark the spot where it stood
where it had stood, perhaps, since
the days Of Columbus and the Cabots,
and before. And this will be tho
more fitting because, iwhi3e other
legendary spots and objects are mat
tiers of dispute, concerning this tree
and the event which made it forever
famous there is no question. 1t was
there that Washington stood, on July
3, ITS, when he assumed command
of the army of the united colonies
and began the campaign which ended
more than six years afterward at
Yorktown. That is the fact of his

song:
I note by the papers that police
officers break up perting parties"
BY what right?
Above all others, a man entrusted
with authority of law ought to be the
one to obey the law. AS far as know
it is neither crime nor misdemeanor
for man to sit by the side Of the
road and hug his girl. And good law
yers agree with me in that view, pro
vided the car is not on the Gem nt,
which might be construed as obstruct-
ing the highway.
AS matter of fact it is the cop
who is violating the law and I have
no doubt that such an officer could be
fined for disturbing the peace.
Then what good has been accom-
plished? How much worse is spoon
ing on the roadside than on the back
porch? Where do these atrophied old
skates get the idea that there should
be no love making?
Granted that an occasional girl
goes wrong I wonder where they
think Mary Magdalene got her repu-
tation. Perhaps these thick heads
imagine they are going to reform the
world by mere act of soaring az fliv-
yer from the high road into the brush

MUSTERED OUT

On Tuesday afternoon D. Joseph
Johnson, a member of the Grand
Army of the Republic, commenced his
long bivouac. Like thousands of
others he has gone out to his little
green tent which will be feelingly
decorated with each returning Mem
orial Day.
Joe Johnson, as every one called
him, was the son of real pioneers.
When he himself came into the world
this region was little more than a
few trails in an almost unbroken will
derness. Here he lived out his three
score years and ten with nine years
for good measure and every year a
year worth living.
The passing of this veteran has
left Baraboo and Sank county poorer
as the result of his being taken away.
kindly, genial, jovial, he was held in
the highest esteem. He possessed
something greater than riches, {.
charitable nature and a tolerant in.
clination.
The debt can never be paid to these
men who strove to make this land
OF greater happiness, by Industrious
efforts in the field and facing the
dangers at the front. He had his full
share in the hardships incident to
pioneer days and military campaigns.
This should not be forgotten.
AS a friend, as companion on a
journey, as one of a company piscator-
ialy inclined, he was always to be
desired. He was an honest, con
scienuous citizen and the loss of him
is keenly felt
