Reports from all over the country
seem to indicate rather clearly that
the prohibitory law was more effec-
tive on New Years night than on any
other previous New Years AS a mat
ter of fact the actual consumption
lof liquor in this country has been
greatly reduced; but the consump-
tion of liquor has been concentrated
into certain small areas of popula-
ton where it is probably greatly in
creased. Probably America is drink
ing rs per cent less liquor than IL
consumed before we went into the
war; but probably the rich people Of
leaders Of our cities who ordinarily
consumed less than 10 per cent -
are now consuming Is or 20 percenr
lof the liquor. They are boozing to
show that they can afford it. So
it happens that the rich have their
booze and are drinking to excess,
and the poor are denied their liquor
and are putting money in the say
ings and into the comforts of life.
This is unfortunate, because as
matter Of fact the possession If
w.. y : ; fay good, though not
infalliDle ii dication of taene that u
gained society needs, We are in eff
feet cooking considerable part of
our American brains in alcohol. It's
too bad. But it can't be helped.
( Little by little the rich fools will
come to see their folly. And so in
another five years we shall have a
decrease in the consumption of cock
tails among the rich. Tea parties
will return to tea. The high-ball will
take down shoot. And we shall ap-
prOximate a decent enforcement OF
the law. But it always will be an ap-
}proximate. The laws against larceny
are violated. The laws against pros
ltitution are violated. The laws
against murder are violated. They al
ways will be violated. But they will
not be repealed or softened because
of the fact that they are violated.
The prohibitory laws will get harsh
er and harsher And some day when
the rich get the alcohol out of thefl
systems they will see how foolish
they have been. They will see how
much their poorer neighbors have
profted by decent observance of
the law, and then the prohibition
fight will be nished-Emporia Ga.

A DOCTOR OF TREES

The following from the Chicago
Journal of Commerce will be of in
terest to Baraboo readers since the
firm mentioned has doctored many
trees in Baraboo. The editorial
from the Chicago paper says:
In 1900 John Davey of Ohio pub,
lished "The Tree Doctor" book
devoted to new science, tree sur
gerry, which he developed His
work was based on the theory that
it is better to save the life of a tree
tnan to execute it and place another
in its stead and wait for 1t to grow.
He was 54 when his book was pub
hshed, and So when he incorporated
his company of tree experts and be-
gan to do for others the things he
had told others how to do in his
book.
He always loved trees as living
things worthy of the admiration and
care of those who possessed them,
and as they became more and more \
valuable asset in communities, his
treatment of them when their lives
were threatened quickly won publ,
appreciation and admiration. Today
every considerable community has
its tree surgeon, and if worthy of
employment, the principles upon
which he works came through the
thought and experimentation Of John
Davey.
Last month this friend of trees

The answer is, the big train wreck
was spectacular. 1t was the wreck
Of the train, rather than the actual
loss of life, that appealed to popular
imagination.
The Twentieth Century wreck was
an international story, for this train
symbolizes the Speed Idol, so widely
worshipped in our generation. This
train is famous all over the world"
principally for it's speed, since the

Ours is a nervous generation, i'm

Occasionally we are reminded, by
a catastrophe like the Twentieth
Century wreck or an auto crash, that
speed has it's price. The real and
greater price is shattered nerves and

You may not know it but this
country is becoming dryer. In pio-
neer times it was necessary to go
down but feet to an average to
obtain an abundance of water in a

is largely due to clearing away the

FORMER RESIDENT RETURNS

- b. Classify, former resident of
Glennpod but for the past several
years located in Salt Lake City, was
a visitor here the first of this week,
and greatly enjoyed his stay visiting
oldtime friends. Mr.. Classify is now
operating building and loan asso-
ciation in the city of saints, and he
reports business exceptionally good in
his line. He tlInks Glenwood is es-
pecially in need Of a building and
savings association, as he believes it
is the best plan for systematic saving
that has yet been devised. Twenty
two of these associations are in opera
tion in Salt Lake City, and they have
aided and encouraged thousands Of peo-
pie to save money and buy or build
comfortable homes, many of whom
would otherwise have squandered their
earnings but for the incentive which
these associations offer.

vERN CHAPMAN
PASSES away

A shadow Of gloom was cast over
the city Tuesday noon. when It Hal
learned that the life of Vern Chapman
of this city had quietly slipped into
the Great Beyond. Death was caused
by poisoning as result Of an attack
Of summer flu from which Vern had
suffered the past week.

death it was necessary to lance his
throat. The last few days of his life
he was unconscious most Of the time.

GLENWOOD CITIZENS
TO DECIDE MATTER

Mayor Mcdonald and the board Of
aldermen of Glenwood have from time
to time been considering the purchase
by the city of the Rosebud cemetery
from the present owners, but before
any action is taken, the council de-
sires an expression from the citizens
of the community. The price Of $1,000
is asked for the property, which con-
sists of approximately 113O plated
lots. Everyone is free, and in truth
is urged, to give his opinion on the
matter -tssAaysr Mcdonald or to any
of the city aldermen.
Ever since about 1907 the cemetery
property has been in the hands Of the
four heirs of Lewis Bailar. As Miss
Melissa Bailar, the only resident heir,
intends to leave Glenwood, she and the
other owners of the property desire to
relieve themselves of the responsible
ity of looking after it. Although GER
tain individuals wish to negotiate for
the property, the owners Of it are CIV
ing the city the first chance at buying
it. The price of $4,000 for the l13o
lots is at the rate Of slightly higher
than u lot and, according to Miss
Bailar, includes one and a half feet
Of water from the Glenwood ditch.
Mayor Mcdonald favors ownership
Of the cemetery and he suggests that
after the sale Of lots has paid for the
property, which will probably be with
in few years, the future income be
used for Identifying the ground of this
cemetery and also Of the Glenwood
cemetery on the hill. J. @. Schwarz,
the owner Of the Glenwood cemetery,
has offered to deed it to the city. q.
H. Bell thinks that the property will
pay for itself before many years and
that the city's purchase of it would
therefore. be a wise investment.

cOwLES WINS FIRST
IN FISH CONTEST

W. 8. Cowles bore off first prize Of
$25 nine-foot rod for the largest
trout caught by an angler in the fish
ing contest conducted by the Rittmayer
Hardward company for the past seven
weeks. Considerable interest was evil
denced throughout the contest, particu-
larly during the week preeeeding its
close last Tuesday when the excite
ment among the finny tribe enthusi-
asts became almost feverish.
The winning fish, q rainbow trout,
weighed 4 pounds, s ounces, and was
% inches long. It was caught last
Sunday with an Allcock hook in the
White river, about miles east Of
Meeker. Mr.. Cowles says that the big
fellow did not fight very much, not
as much as the 2h pound trout he
caught at another time. Mr.. Walter
of the Rittmayer Hardware company
put the big trout on exhibition in a
pan packed full of ice that was set
in the window. Nearby was the
righteous claimant of the "booby
PRICE" tiny infant minnow, scarce
lont; as your little finger, and which
had been caught by wyrick Julian,
supposedly with 'meat hook" But
there was no BOBBY prize.
+ q. B. Ould won the second prize, con-
sisting Of a pair Of light weight rub.
ber wading boots valued at $3.50. he
caught his Q pound, 8 ounce brook
trout with a chocolate spinner in the
Frying Pan river Monday.
The third prize, which was won by
Charles Gatliff, consisted Of e5 worth
Of fishing tackle, the variety to be
optional. Mr.. Gatliff's trout weighed
2 pounds, 5h ounces.
