Motorists, Halted By Rain In

The fire department consists of

and thanks for the priviIege\of in
specting the best fire department
in the state we were about to
leave when we were arrested by
the question, Say, did you see our
new high school?'
Fine New High School, Too
Now high schools were not on
our, itinerary but-the next morn
ing we visited the new high school.
Not unlike others of it's size in
general make up, the fact that the
completed building equipment and
all came we'll within tle apprOpria-
tion allowed for it, interested us.
No wonder the villagers are proud
Of the record. The entire cost was
only $4,000 but there are few high

or so splendidly equipped. If you
doubt, just ask anyone in Spring
Green.
Again we were about to leave,
inquiring the location of the ia
nous Frank Lloyd Wright bunga,
low. We were given specific direc-
tions to which we're attached the
question, But have you seen Ed
Hood?" We ihad to admit that we
had not but our curiosity was
aroused Evidently Spring Green's
pride ended not with it's buildings,
"Who is Ed Hood?"
"Why, he is a hardware man
down the street.. see Lins & Hood
over the door? He does more to
keep this town going than any 9th
er man, l. guess"
Down at the end of the street the
old fair grounds have been cleaned
up and opened to the public as a
park and tourist camp, and just in
side Of the entrance is mounted a
memento of war secured for the
village by Judge Hill of Baraboo.
We were not allowed to leave for
our trip across the river either,
until we had inspected the tiny
building which shelters Spring
Green's remnant of the Veterans of
the Grand Army of the Republic.
There were other places, it seems,
which we should have visited-the
canning factory the cheese ware
house and the lumber mill. How
one small village of only 700 peo-
pie could hold SO many interesting
things will always remain mys-
terry. Other Wisconsin cities,
whose civic pride is at low ebb,
should send a delegation to Spring
Green.

Fire At SteRl
Home This Noon

A blaze in a pile of rubbish in
the basement of the home of Dr.
and Mrs. c. F. Stekl, 1915 Oak
street, at noon today filled the
house with smoke. The fire de
partment was called and after
some difficulty in !. locating the
cause of the smoke, the blaze was
extinguished with chemicals. The
fire, which was probably caused
by sparks in ashes taken from the
furnace, did some damage to a
coal bin nearby.

1t was back in 1867, a short time
after the close of the civil war, that
State Senator Starks of Ableman,
Sank county, Wisconsin, called on
Gov. Lucius Fairchild in connection
with a bill he was fathering in the
Wisconsin legislature.
Governor" said Senator Starks,
as he was about to begin his argu-
ment, 81 wish you would send that
boy from the room
Gov. Fairchild glanced around.
81 see no boy, SENATOR" he replied.
: who's that then but a boy?"
demanded the visitor with some
petulance.
"Step this way. john" aid Gov.
Fairchild.
Senator, allow me to introduce
by new private secretary, Col. John
C. Spooner. Take a good look at
him, senator. Wisconsin is likely
to send that boy to the United
States senate one of these times"
It was seventeen years later and
after an interim in which the boy
SpoOner became one of the best
known republicans in the State OF
Wisconsin that in a three cornered
fight he was nominated for the I'm
tied States senate over his former
Gov. Fairchild.
The incident in the executive
chamber in Madison marked the lc-
ginning of John Colt SpooreI S
long public career.
Mrs.,L. d. McG-lvra says she had
some fine roses which she intend
