FAMOUS NAMES
DISCUSSED AT
WOMEN'S CLUB
Mrs. H. c. Brown Gives Paper on
Names That Live AT Catholic
Meeting

The regular meeting OF the Cath
Ole Womans club was held at the
K. G. club rooms on Monday evening,
There was good attendance and af
ter short business session a we'll
prepared paper on Names That
Live" was given by Mrs. H. c. Brown,
a short sketch of which follows:
Within the last two years several
writer's have announced their lists
of the greatest men and of course no
two are alike. All names that live are
not great as we use that term. In
other words bad names live as we'll,
as good ones. The great test to the
title great seems to be service to he
people not one kind of service but
in various fields of activity. There is
one great name that will live in time
and eternity, Our Divine Lord and
Saviour. Volumes would not contain
all that would be interesting in the
teachings Of the three great philoso-
piers, Socrates, Plato and Aristotle.
HipOcrates was the father of medi-
cine. julius Caeser, a great general
and statesman, Alexander the Great,
a military genius, all great names in
the period in which they lived. In
later years Joan of Arc Maid of Or
leans, Roger Bacon, Columbus, the
great discoverer De Solo, La Sale,
the great explorers. There is a long
list Of names of great artists, inven-
tors and statesmen, all Of them names
known the world over. (Mrs. Brown
enumerated the most important Of
these.) There is one who, histories
a generation hence will accord place
among our greatest men great
leader who has recently passed on.
Woodrow Wilson.
At the close of Mrs Browns pa
per, the club listened to a very en-
pertaining talk from Mrs Thieman,
on her recent trip to Europe. Mrs.
Thieman visited France, Switzerland
and Germany and brought views of
points of interest on her trip which
added much to the interest of her
talk
The next meeting will be Monday
evening, March Oath.

Two Cases From the Town of
Sumpter Are Continued Until
the September Term

In the case OF Glen Bromley against
J. E. Branton, the jury acquitted Mr..
Branton. Both are from La Vale and
the case attracted much attention.
This is a case where the pupil, Glen
Bromley, was punished by the prin-
cipal Of the school, j. E. Branton.
When the principal attempted to
strike the youth he lodged and ac'
cidentally hit case, causing slight
Injury, Infection foI lowed and the
boy was out of school about eigh-
teen days.
After the testimony of DR.. Miller,
who attended the youth, had been
taken it was stricken out of the rec
ord because it was privileged-he was
able to tell only what had been told
him. This action was taken on the
part of the plaintiff.
The testimony showed the prin-
cipal struck the youth twice. The
Injury received was slight The af
fair took place on November Is, 1928.
The youth sued for $4,000 The jury
was out about three hours. The

Suit over Hauling Goods
Max Feinberg hauled load of
goods from Jordon Lake to Prairie
du Sac for Clifford Stafford, the lat
ter understanding all his goods were
to be transported for $29 and Fem
berg being under the impression he
was to have $4,000 per load. The
agreement was made through A. c.
French of Kilbourn. When one load
was delivered at Prairie du Sac, Mr..
Feinberg desired pay but Mr.. Stat
ford refused to pay until all the goods
were delivered, In law there was
what is known as an express contract
between the two persons. After the
testimony had been given, there
being no question about the contract,
the court directed verdict for Mr..
Stafford on the ground that all the
goods had not been hauled, that the
contract had not been filed. This
means that Mr.. Feinberg loses the
500 and must pay the costs unless
: some other disposition is made of the
case.
In justice court Mr. Feinberg won
the suit and an appeal was then
made
There were but three witnesses,
Max Feinberg. Clifford Stafford, and

HENRY. JOHNSON
BEFORE KLWANIS
Former State Treasurer States
Some Hard Facts in Relation to
Wisconsin Finances

Henry Johnson of Madison was
state treasurer for many years and
has been politics for much longer
time, according to E. F. Dithmar
when he introduced the speaker at
Hhe regular Kiwanfs luncheon on
Wednesday, Mr.. Johnson first went to
the state house as assemblyman from
Oconto county and later was assis-
tant state treasurer under Dahl be-
fore he was state treasurer.
He assured his hearers the coun-
try was not going to the dogs, not
Withstanding the wild newspaper
stories sent out from Washington.
Then he fell to discussing the differ
ent manners of men, how John D.
Rockefeller made S3OO,OO0,OOO which
he is trying to give away and how
Henry Ford has made $70O,00O,00O
which he does not 9ttempt to dis,
burse. The one is mal.gned, the 9TH
er is not.
State Taxes
To show how state taxes have
grown, Mr. Johnson gave the follow
ing figures:
1901, state spent -- So, 100000
1911, state spent -------- 9,800,000
1921, state spent -------3 ,000, 600
He added the figures are not as
bad as they look. Part of the growth
has come from state aid, collecting
money from the counties and paying
back notwithstanding the public in
to believing they are getting some
thing for nothing.
He then told Of the growth Of the
expense charities, tax commission,
railroad commission and other bran
ches Of the government. In the TWEEN
ty years under discussions the cost
Of running the University Of Wiscon
sin has increased from 100000 to
Sc, 200, 900.
He thought it was a mistake to
| consolidate the schools and believed
that farms would be divided in time
and then the little school house, as
a result OF more families, would come
into its own.
He spoke of the wonderful work on
the highways which now cost $8,000,-
900 year to maintain.
He did not believe in issuing bonds
for public improvement-ma flu
ture generations pay.
Mr.. Johnson came to Wisconsin in
1873 without money, has reared a
large family, has done wei, and
held if there were certain people who
did not like this country they were
privileged to go elsewhere. He liked
| Wisconsin.
| DR. C. F. Stekl said there was a
| good chance Of getting the next win
| ter meeting of the American Legion
and that there would be great OPP
portuity to advertise Baraboo when
thousands Of members Of the lodge
would pass through Baraboo next
/ September on their way to and from
the annual convention at st. Paul.

nounced the school would give an

Kruger against L. A.

I reasons. There was also state
ment that money had been used by
Witnesses in. connection with the
case. The court said if there WA
anything of the kind to refer the mat
! ter to the district attorney.
Coastng Case
When q boy coasts down hill on
the snow, strikes an automobile and
is injured, who is to blame? Who is
to pay the doctor bills and hospital
expenses, the parents of the boy or
the owner of the car? These ques-
tions arose when Adolph Fey, Jr., at
Ableman came down hill by the
school house, met an automobile near
! a corner, and received a broken jaw
in several places besides a fractured
skull. The runners of the sled on
which the boy was riding were in
ruts and he could not steer the We
hicle out of the way; neither could
the driver Of the automobile, John r.
Shauer, steer his car so as to avoid
being in the way Of the youth. It
was a serious accident from which
the youth has fully recovered. It is
said the Jaw specialist did wonder
full piece Of work in restoring him
to normal state. One side is just
trifle larger than the other, is all
the difference there is in the two
sides Of the jaw. The accident hap
pened on January Is, 1923.
The cost in doctor bills and hos
pital expenses amounted to about
$731O0, this amount being asked by
the father from the Advance Rum
ley company, the owner of the auto
mobile, The company refused to pay
and Mr.. Fey brought suit
Special Verdict
The case went to the jury on
special verdict, the questions and
answers being as follows:
/. Did the defendants driver fail
to exercise ordinary care in the
management and control of the auto
mobile he was driving at, or imme-
diately prior to the collision
Answer-No
2. II you answer the first question
Yes, then answer this question.
Was such failure to exercise ordN
nary care the proximate cause Of
the injury sustained by Adolph Fey,
Jr?
8. Did any want of ordinary care
on the part of Adolph Fey, Jr proxi-
mately contribute to produce the
collision.
Answer-No.
T. If upon your verdict, the court
should be Of the opinion that the
plaintiff should recover, in what sum
do you assess his damages?
Answer $4,000.
Cites Similar Case
During the trial Judge Crosby Cit
ed a similar case, where a boy had
struck an automobile while coasting.
In that case the owner Of the car
Fdid not have to pay, since he could
/ not avoid the accident. In the Able
man case Mr.. Fey will not be able
to recover damages because the own
ers of the machine were not respon-
sib1e for the accident It was an in
teresting case and one of those un-
| fortunate affairs which are bound to
occur as long as there are machines
and vehicles on the highways

We wish also, to thank the citizens

team to donate their money to send
them to the State meet, the teachers
who co-operated with us in every way
