SUTHERLAND OPPOSED

The First division has sent it's rep resentative to Washington to present to congress the advantages of divi- sion of the Territory. It is reported that Delegate Sutherland is opposed to the proposition, and that Valentine
 Wickersham and Rustgard, are back ing him. It is unfortunate if tlhis is the case. The Delegate should com ply with the wishes of the people of
 the First division and work with them for what they want, while the unholy trinity should keep it's hands off. There is no doubt but that div ision would be better for the Terri

tectives in battering down the door of a room. A divorce suit followed.
 In the courtroom corridor June Browns daughter took her father by the hand. Please love mother!" she pleaded. The difference were made up. But the old haunts called. The next time the husband sued for divorce he got it.
 The baby died. June Brown didn't know it at the time. A year later she learned-heard the story as she sat with her subjects in "VilIage" cab aret. They took her to an asylum then-a raving maniac. Time cured her ills.
 Time, the great healer, cured her hurts.
 For a year she lived quietly and alone-struggling. Christmas Eve old friends invited her to a prty.
 "No,' shc answered, T am going to spend Christmas With my DaDy. That night sne took poison. At the hospital none knew her. When she died her body was sent to the Morgue. There it rested the usual two weeks. The story drifted to the cabarets of ''The Village"
 "They're going to bury Jane in the Potter's Field-poor kid!" her subjects said. Then the one mourner, hiding his identity under an assumed name and giving a false address visited the Morgue. He paid for "good funeral", and when they buried June Brown he stood beside her grave.
 Poor kid! She tried to beat the city-it got her!" was the Villages parting to it's queen.

filth of scandal We all remember how during the latter part of the cam paign of 1920 uncOnscionable detac- tors disseminated artful lies about Warren c. Harding-and the public gave him the largest majority in the history of the presidency and learn ed to love him as few presidents have been loved. It will be recalled also how vile gossip attached itself to the name of Woodrow Wilson during his administration. Mere gossip usually does not get into print, Apart from the considerations of legal restraints, newspapers of the responsible kind search for the truth and the truth only. and even the scandal mongers and guttersnips rarely go so far as to spread injurious gossip. Yet it has a way of being broadcast over the land, and there are whisperers who delight in giving it circulation. Thus few persons have not heard something ot the tissue of falsehOods circulated about the names of both Harding and Wilson by wagging tongues that sought to injure,
 The oil scandal has ruined many regulations and will ruin others. The mere association of name with the word oil. in the present state of the nublic mind, places a man on the de fensive. It is all the worse to drag
 the names of the dead-the names of men unsullied and of presidents now gone, The incident may have the one good effect of silencing mouths that go off without knowing they are loaded.

the Motor Vehicle department has
registered moro than 5000 pieces
each day. At one time the depart
ment had as many as CO., unopened
pieces OF mail on hand, notwith-
standing a force Of fifteen clerks had
been detailed to do nothing but open
and assert those communications.
There has been some criticism
from owners who failed to get their
license within q few days after they
had mailed in their applications. To
meet the situation. says Commission
er Hayes. his department has been
doing everything humanity possible,
having actually doubled its working
force.
Fully four-fifths of the applica-
tions arrived without a certificate as
to the poll tax, Commissioner Hayes
says. Many Of the requests came in
without an application for certificate
OF title. The return of these appli-
cations. of course, occasioned some
delay. Much of the trouble. he de-
clares, has been due to the fact that
dealers did not, or would not. comply
with the new title law by having
their cars titled before selling. This
necessarily delayed the owner in get

tax before license could be issued.
THE new law also required the mo-
tor vehicle commissioner to mail to
each owner an application blank for

tions as to securing new title.

May Burn Hay
To Save Corn
From a Frost

Riley Martiny, proprietor of High
Banks farm on route one, offe,
one solution to save the backward
corn crop from the frost. Mr.. Ma
tiny, who was up all night Tues
day night watching for signs of a
frost, states the mercury went as
low as 80 degrees when a shifting
of the wind to the south brought il
upward again.
The Baraboo man, who like many
other farmers, has a corn crop
about two weeks from maturity
which frost would badly damage.
His corn acreage is surrounded on
two sides by hay, which he says
he will burn in order to save the
corn from frost if necessary.
Fruit growers have saved their
orchard yield many times by
smudging. Mr.. Martiny claims, SC
he can see no reason why the
smudging could not be applied to
corn also.
