Charles Parfrey is of the opinion
that on Wednesday of this week he
bought from Mr. Sandmire, of Ash
Ridge, the banner saw logs of the his
tory of the hardwood lumber business
in Richland county These two logs
we're cut from one elm tree and they
scaled 1000 feet That is almost twice
as large as what is generally spoken
of as the very big logs cut from SIN

A fair example of how laws favor
law breaking, is the case of the state
against the Matters of Mill Creek

searched and found much evidence
upon which TO base an expectation OF
conviction The Matter farm is partly
in Marshall and partly in Sylvan. me
search warrant described the farm as
being in Marshall, and while abund-
ant evidence was found III that town
ship. the claim was set up that it be-
Ionged to a party who had skipped the
country, while again the evidence
found in the Matters possession was
claimed to be of no avail for a conVlc-
ton because the warrant did not 1ndl-
cate that that portion of the farm was
in Sylvan. We understood that de-
cision has been arrived at to drop the
prosecution, mainly on that ground

BOSCOBEL

BOSCOBEL-Wm McCord, James
Trumbull and Otto Sikir went through
an exciting experience the other day
with sufficient danger attached to it
to mark the occasion on their memoir
les for some time to come.
They were returning to the city
with a load of logs cuts on Trumbull
island up river. Just before reaching
the landing point few rods above
the toll house, the ice gave away be-
meath the heavy load and men, team
and bobsled with load of logs went
down into the chill waters of the Wis
cOnsin
Fortunately the opening was of
small area with solid ice surrounding.
The men managed to scramble to
safety, Mr.. Trumbull being the only
one to get a thorough drenchlng.
Then the team of mules struggling IN
the water was rescued. The sled ana
logs anchored against the ice in such
a manner that all was eventually Sc
cured. An axe and portions OF the
harness, severed to save the team,
constituted the loss.
Mild weather soon cuts thin ice on
the main channel of the stream, max
ing crossing with team a precarl-
GUS undertaking.
Little Ruth Seemann, four-year-old

ankles AS usual in such cases the
needle broke in being extracted, and
the pointed part is still EMBEDDED in
the limb. Attention was given the
case at Parker hospital and subse-
uuent examination leads to the belief
that the broken steel is working its
own way out-Dial.

Rudy Bohringer has been very ill

hear that Rudy will probably have to
take a layoff from hard work for a

While visiting his farm last Thurs
day, Ed. Welsh slipped on the ice, and
broke the large bone of his right leg
near the ankle. Dr. Mclaughlin took
him to the Prairie du Chen sanitar-
ium, where the fracture was X-rayed
and set. He is getting along as rapid
ly as the nature of the injury will per-
nit
We are told on good authority that
a new switchboard of the latest type
will be installed very soon at the tele-
phone exchange in Bloomington. The
old one has been in use for a great
many years and new one has been
needed for long time. We have had
very satisfactory central service, and
when the new board is installed it
should be better than ever.
The village authorities have discov-
cred that the village ordinance levy
ing SIS and $40 tax on male and fe-
male dogs respectively was nullif1ed
by state law passed nearly three
years ago which fixes the tax at 81
and 81, therefore there will probably
be no decrease in the number of dogs
in the village, as raising the tax is
prohibited by the law mentioned.

Monday and Franks wife went to Du-
buque Tuesday. Latest word received
is that the patient is getting along all
right.
At special meetings held Saturday
evening the Brown, Thornton and
Leamy rural school districts, located
lust west of the village, voted to con-
solidate into one district. The plan
as announced to us is to move the
Leamy district building to site on
the Bagley road short distance west
of the Henry Bonn farm and hold
school in it. For several years past
there has been no school in either the
Leamy or Thornton districts, due to
lack of pupils in the former and an
unusuable school building in the lat
ter. And we understand that there
are but four or five pupils enrolled at
the Brown school. A good many pu-
pills from all three districts are at
tending the parochial school in
Bloomington, and the other pupils in
the Thornton district attend the
Bloomington public school. The con-
solidation, if it stands, will of course
save considerable expense to the tax
payers of the districts involved

NEWS LETTER y

Institutes Well Attended.

At both Dickeyville and Tennyson
the past week institutes were held,
with results that were very pleasing
to the institute workers. Large
crowds, much interest and good local
talent entertainments impressed the
three out-of-county people who were
on the program. Mr.. Emrie from Rob-
erts, Wis, one of the oldest workers
of the institute speakers, with IA
years spent in this work, had many
good things to tell, that mean when
put to practice more profit and more
happiness on the farm. Mr.. Ristow of
Black River Falls, took up other
points that will mean much to the
dairymen of Grant county, if put into
practice by them The ladies at the
two Institutes were benefited by the
suggestions and the demonstrations
put on by Mrs. Pontius of Madison.
Taking it all in all we feel all have
gained much Many things developed
as a result of the two, two-day meet
ings. One of the main results was the
signing up of 26 dairymen who wish
to know more of their dairy COWS. In
other words, they signed up for cow
testing association Many are inter
ested in better seed potatoes as was
shown by the fact that about 800
bushels of certified seed potatoes
were signed up for. These potatoes
will come from the certified potato
fields of northern Wisconsin. Better
seed means better crops, cleaner crops
and so more profit. 1t is desired to
secure a car load of this class of
seed. There is about 800 bushels yet
yet to be spoken for. If interested
better make your wants known now.
1t is the desire of this office that we
might hold such live meetings as were
held in the two places this last week.
Those of you who have land that is
stump land, or some rock to quarry
or if you have stream that should
be Strengthened out will do well to
consider the use of this new war ex-

Buy Seeds From Responsible Firms.
Beware of poor seeds, demand a

Don't buy seeds that are not re-
cleaned or seed with noxious weed
seed in them. Weeds come fast
enough without sowing the seeds
ourselves.
One seed firm has sent out seed
list and price list within the last few
weeks to farmers of Grant county,
listing seeds at a considerable lower
price than that of others. Listing
