DAY DREAMING
InduIging in Certain Kinds Of Day.
Dreams is Dangerous and Some
times Leads to Insanity.

They take themselves away
from contact With things as they
are.
They build up things as thes
would like to have them.
They imagine tina. - things
which appeal gratifyfnsiy o
them must be equally gratifying
to others.
They then so on. dream att

disc.
They eagerly take up Ineir
abode III the midst Of thiss par.
disc where they may 60 on self
ishly indulging their fanciful
creations.
And there they remain untll
the universe Of reality vanislasa
and they are alone in all their
fancied glory.
They have now arrived at tie
anu-s0clal state.
This Is insanity.
SO there il the day-dreamsr
who evolves ideals and strives -
realize them by purposef.
thought and well-directed action.
And there is that other Day
dreamer who evolves ideals only
to dream other dreams ana evolve
other ideals and thus keep on Is
the end.
Between the two there Is tho
possible difference that exists bb
tween a hero in the strife and i
Ioafer. Or between an illuminating
genius and an incarcerated
Iunatic.
Safety consists in erecting your
ideals only on things a. they ar
and keeping in touch with your
fellow man.

GOPHERS DIG UP
LAWNS, GOLF LINKS

Gophers had great time
digging holes in the Badger lawns
and the golf courses during sum-
mer.
"The gopher is more of a nuis-
ance in digging up the sod than it
is destructive to the crops in this
state" is the opinion of H. F. Will
son, authority on crop pests, Uni
versity of Wisconsin.
Wilson gives a treatment that
will get rid of the pests in very
short time. Place five grains of
crystal strychnine in two quarts of
water, and add one-fourth pint OF
cheap grade of molasses. Let it
stand until we'll mixed, then dump
in one pound of raisins. Put the
mixture away for "a hours.
"The best way to apply the poi
son bait" says Wilson, sis to take
a few of the poison raisins and drop
them into a fresh gopher hole.
Poison bait of this kind is 100 per
cent effective, and when all the
holes have been baited there, will
not be gopher left.
"Now is the time to kill goph-
ers, for every female gopher killed
at this time there will be five less
gophers next year." advocates the
entomologist.
always drop the bait way down
in the hole so that it is we'll out ct
the way Ct the farm-yard noultry
and domestic animals" cautions
Wilson.

as a result of the action taken By
committee representing electric
light companies and electrical con-
tractor dealers from all parts of
the State in meeting at the hotel
Pfister, Milwaukee.
The Lighting Educational COM
mittee of Wisconsin was organized.
G. C. Neff, Madison, president OF
the Wisconsin utilities association,
was named chairman.
This committee will organize all
communities in excess of 1000
population so as to make eligible
the school children Of those cities
for national and state prizes. Ma
tional prizes will total $21 200, and
state prizes $4,000. The first ma
tional prize will be $4,000 model

lighting so that ia future years
there will be less eye trouble. Toe

because homes do not have enough

in the proper place.
