for several minutes. Mr.. Esser final
ly extracted his hand from the cogs

Cash of New Lisbon was a caller in
the city on Thursday. He is in his
80th year, but still hale and hearty
and interested in his work. At pres
ent he is working in the interests Of
the Cazenovia & Southern railroad,
and tells us that he is putting the
road in a financial position so it can
operate. He is securing business for
the road, has bettered its equipment,
and at present is negotiating with
residents of the Lime Ridge vicinity
to secure their stock and produce for
shipment over this road. To make a
convenient shipping point, new sid
ing and cattle yards will be placed be
tween Cazenovia and Ironton. AT
present this business goes to Reeds
burg, but Mr.. Cash says that he can
get large part of it to his new ship
ping point in from 4 to Z miles, in
stead of the II to IA miles they now
go to reach Reedsburg.

1t seems in your mind like the bottom of a

Voices from the night connect your fire
side with noble entertainment and in in
finite variety. Birds sing and the organ
rolls it's sonOrOus chant. Music lovers over
the country are knit together in a harmon
iOuS bond.
Outdoors the wind hOwls but what mat
tiers that. Inside all is warmth and life.
If you do not like jazz, some station, some
where, has an operate concert on. If you
like Hawaiian ON American ukeleles turn
the dial. At midnight, when the air is
still, the Kansas City Night Hawks tune in
with meIOdiOus dance music. So it goes
and time flies.
The padded cell and traitjacket may
come later, but for the time being it's
great life. Turn on the radio.

Work stops when the radio comes.
Other devices for indoor entertainment
lose their charm. Father no longer finds
evening work necessary at the office.
Mother neglects her knitting and fancy
work. Sister cease to primp and neglects
the supper dishes. Brother finds "Run
Sheep, Rum, and other outdoor games dull

not really knowing what it's all about, but
sharing in the family enthusiasm just the
same. Maggie, the maid, finds the radio

This law should be strictly en-

Columns Adopted.

machine, making it possible to put
nine tickets on the machine. J. A.

voting machine company, held a
demonstration at the county election
board warehouse, Northwestern Ave
and the Big Four.
The original device, which would
have placed the extra two tickets
at the lower left hand corner Of the
machine. was abandoned and a new
device adopted which will necessi-
tate placing the electoral tickets fol
lowing the county tickets on the bal
lots. The extra tickets will go to
the right Of the regular seven tick
cts, there being sufficient space for
two on Iine by use of a mechanical
adjustment costing 10 cents a ma
chine.
w. w. Spencer of the State board
said that since the parties have until
Oct. Is to petition for places on the
ticket, no immediate action will be
taken to determine which tickets
will go at the end of the line.

Eight hundred University of
Chicago freshmen wrinkled
their brows over that one. 1t
was one of 100 questions asked
freshmen in a psychological
examination which university
authorities say will determine
their vocational aptitudes."
Perhaps the examiners had
dangers of collegiate drinking
in mind when they asked:
What per cent Of alcohol Is
there is white lead paint?"
And not to forget the fair
sex, the examiners listed four
women: Peggy joyce, Jane Ad-
dams, Corinne Griffith and
Mary Garden and queried:
Whom do you consider the
greatest living American wom-
an and why?"
Other puzzlers were:
What did Confucius have to
do with the discovery Of Amer
ica?"
"If the total cost of Brook
lyn bridge was $S,O0O,000, how
much did each end cost?"
What would be happening
in house if you saw a doctor,
a lawyer, a nurse, an ambu-
lance and a bridesmaid going
in?"
