Wasted Word,

Johnston missed his train the other
evening. SO he went to have his hair
cut. When he entered the BARRIERS
shop he was in quarrelsome frame OF
mind.
"Cut 1t without conversation" he
growled, as he took his place in the
chair. Don't want any hair restorer,
scalp invigorator, dandruff eradicator,
face lotion, potion or anything else.
i've read all about the Near-East trou-
bles, and don't interest myself in box
ing, racing or football. AS regards the
weather."
Here a customer nudged Johnson's
elbow.
"You'll have to write 1t down on his
slate, mister" he said, III you want
to tell him anything. He's deaf and
dumb. ."-Tonsorial Journal.

King George Saves Time

King Georges estate at Sandring-
ham is the one spot in England where
daylight saving is used the year
around. and has been for more than
fifty years. During all this time the
clocks have been kept half an hour
ahead of Greenwich time, and the rea-
son was to insure punctuality. King
Edward, who had the reputation of
never being late, even to tea, intro
duced the idea when he was prince Of
Wales and it was soon taken up by
the mobiles who lived in the community.

Mrs. Walter Brennan was here
from Lancaster one day last week to
visit friends, and her chauffeur was
driving their new Chandler Sedan
down Cedar street, when lad was
coming from the High School in a
Ford, so fast, that he ran into the
bumpers of the Brennan car and his
Ford turned completely over. For
tunately no one was injured, but it
should be a lesson to the boys and
girls driving to and from school not
to drive at such speed.
The tool house, at the crusher, be-
longing to the city, has been entered
by thieves, last week, who took 30

and gallons of cylinder oil. The
gasoline barrel had lock fawcet,
and the fawcet was removed from
the barrel The tractor that fur
nishes power for the crusher was
drained, and all gas taken from that.
This theft was discovered Friday
morning when the men went to work
and the lack of oil delayed them con-
siderably in starting work for the
day.-Journal.

needed to do was to ask himself to
which class he belonged.
Taking the show in all, although
it was poorly attended, believe that
it was one of the most educational
shows that has ever been held in Wis
consin. We need such educational
shows, and if we look over the so
called, dairy herds, that are scattered
over the State of Wisconsin and Grant
County is no exception, and see cat
tie that we know from their con-
firmation and appearance they are
costing their owners money to keep.
Until we can rid the country of more
of these cows that are producing
100 and 100 pounds of butterfat an
nually and do away with some of the
mixed, poorly fed, short time milking
herds, that are to be found every
where, we need have no fear that we
are going to over do the dairy bus
mess. Many herds that are being
used for dairy purposes that number
as high as twenty COWS, could be sold
to the butcher and from seven to ten
could easily replace them as far as
production is concerned. / am not
talking more COWS, but lets make what
we have better.
PYROTOL
We have ordered a 10000 pound car
load of this war salvage explosive and
we still have about 1000 pounds that
has not been spoken for as yet. If
any one is in need of some of this ex-
plosive that is cheap and has strength
equal to 1870 dynamite, would like
to ask them to write this office state
in
check at the rate of $3.50 per hundred.
We are not advocating the use of
Pyrotol to make more acres avail
able that we may produce more, but
that we may cheaper production by
Strengthening our irregular fields and
remove stumps and stones from fields
that now are hard to till, and likewise
for the use in quarrying rock that it
may be crushed and applied to the land
to make it possible for use to produce
more and better leguminous crops.
We cannot make any assurance as
to how long this supply of explosive
will last or if we will get another
shipment in the spring, our advise is
order now and store for spring use.
PYROTOL DEMONSTRATIONS
We are planning to hold two days
or demonstrations, which Will mean
three or four different demonstrations
in some different localities. We are
planning to hold these the 20th-21st
of October and anyone desiring to
have a demonstration of this material
and if there has not been demon
strataion with Sodatol in this same
vicinity, we will be glad to hear from
you. First requests for these demon
strations that are received will be
where the demonstrations will be held.
Kindly call this office at once
We would like to hold these demon
STATIONS where we can reach the
most people and where there will be
considerable land clearing done. Give
us a chance to cooperate with you
and your neighbors in explaining and
demonstrating the proper use of this
new, cheap, war explosive Let us
hear from you, if you are interested.

"LIFER" WILLOUGHBY is
RELEASED FROM WAUPUN

RICHMOND CENTER"The daily
papers of last week gave considerable
publicity to the release on parole or
George Willoughby from the State
Prison at Waupun. His release has
local interest for Richmond county
and readers of the Richmond Demo-
crat Willoughby spent his boyhood
at Port Andrew in the southwestern
part of the county, and passed through
the pioneer days. Last winter ana
spring he wrote a series OF articles
for the Democrat on pioneer eXper-
fences and "reminiscences in R1chland
county, under the pseudonym, Ramo-
Ter" The articles were read with IN
terest and attracted much attention
for their true portrayal of pioneer
life and conditions, and for their
beauty of language and description.
WilIoughby was a prominent whole
sale merchant in Milwaukee, with a
high place in club and church life IN
that city, when for some reason he
shot and killed his wife in 1908. He
confessed the crime and was SEN
fenced to life at Waupun. There he
continued his studies in literature
and other subjects. When in the
prison he did a great work for the
state in compiling the statistics col
lected by the prison physicians since
the founding of the prison. When
the Central State Hospital for the
insane was opened in Waupun, he
was sent there as trusty and mas
been employed as receiving and drug
clerk there. His duties permitted
him the freedom of the grounds and
the out of doors, and early risers in
Waupun would see him out for his
morning walk. One of his articles In
the Democrat he entitled -Four
O'Clock in the Morning" and prob
ably few residents knew the beauties
of sunrise time in Wisconsin better
than Wlloughby.
Willoughby committed an awful
crime, and has paid penalty. We
are glad he is to have his liberty on
parole, and have chance to go back
to the world in which he held a high
place up to sixteen years ago. Some
living in the southwestern part of the
county may remember the pioneer
family of Willoughbys at the time of
and before the Civil War.-Democrat.
