Caledonia Prank

At an auction, in Caledonia the
men, farmers of the surrounding
vicinity, had started the bidding on
different articles, two young men,
one a visitor at his aunt's home,
Che was a stranger in the county,
climbed UP on the straw stack to
see all that took place down below
them. Just as the bidding was in
full swing, the stranger on the
straw stack, found an egg. ooh,
give it to me-" cried the other
young fellow, and getting a good
chance and aim, threw the egg
with good force, which landed and
broke, under the chin and mostly
on the necktie, of an elderly Ger
man who was all at once an excited
individual, "Who trowd me that
egg, he screamed Il bet you once,
he not do that two times alretty
once" "Sir, answered an Irish
neighbor standing near the man
that threw that egg isn't fool
enough to tell you,"

What To Kn0w To

he said. He is opposed to the
teaching of producing less-doing
less-in order to increase the price
of products. He believes in a good
days work for a good days pay.
The ones who succeed are the ones
who are doing the best they can.
AS an illustration he cited Jesse
Ballinger, who resides on a farm
near Baraboo. He said Mr.. Bal
linger is making money on the
farm because he plans and works.
He decides what must be done then
goes ahead and does it.
The speaker said a lot of fellows

should not. make money, Since
the war business men and others
have had a hard time of it as well
as the farmer. Mr.. Richards does
not believe in pussy-footing with
the truth.
One of the mistakes of the past
was too much credit. The prob
lem now is education.
At the present time one cannot
farm by work alone, the farmer
must first know what to do, then
go ahead. 1t has not been so very
long since one could go into an or
chard and pick beautiful apples
without spraying but this is not
possible any more.
At one time there were no silos
but by teaching the great value of
these they have accomplished much
for the farmers of Wisconsin.
Mr.. Richards said he came to
Sank county to make survey be-
cause there was no county agent
here. He believes in the county
agent and hopes that one. will be
provided at the next meeting of the
county board. A county agent
could do wonders for the farmers
and an effort will be made to see
that there is one in the field. The
work of an agent would be of great
advertising value to the county, for
agriculture, above all things, needs
leadership.
The soil survey now being made
in Sank county is so complete that
it stands head and shoulders above
any effort yet made in the United
States. Mr.. Richards believes that
for every dollar expended the work
of the surveyors will yield from five
to ten dollars in the future.
Theodore Fish of Eau Claire
spoke for a minstrel show to be
produced by the club but this failed
to receive favorable action.
E. F. Dithmar presided and Ben
Jones led the singing.

ther of Mrs. Cooper, who married
Della Purdy in 1866 and who was
associated with Mr.. Cooper in the

Cooper fell and broke her hip.
Since then she has been unable to

jeyed many auto rides the last time
being iSeptember IA when she
took trip Of nearly 40 miles.
Many years ago Mrs. Cooper
united with the Episcopal church
and was a faithful attendant as
long as she was able to go.
Her church has been great
comfort to her in her declining
years.
Mrs. Cooper has appreciated so
much the love and friendship
shown and the many flowers and
dainties sent her during her long
Illness. Very few mothers have en-
joyed the companionship and low
ing devotion of a daughter as Mrs
