OF
SOCIETY HELD
MONDAY EvE:

With w. A. Toole, president,
presiding the Sank County Horti-
cultural society held on interest,"
ing meeting in the courtroom at
the courthouse, Monday evening.
The program opened with music
by the City Male Quartet.
The winter protection of rose
bushes, shrubs, perennia1s and
other plants was ably discussed
by Carl A. Hofmann. He also gave
some valuable information on the
storing of vegetables for the win
ter and his talk was followed by a
discussion.
Mrs. Frank H. Horstman is en-
minently fitted to talk on peonies
for she has one of the finest peony
gardens in this locality, comprising
so or more varieties. She told OF
the planting and care of the flow
err and invited the society to meet
with her next year when the peo-
MES are in blossom.
Frederick Cranefeld of Madison,
secretary of the State Horticultural
society gave a general talk on
some of the subjects taken up by
the other speakers and then went
on to the topic of the forest amend
ment to be voted upon at the COM
ing election. The amendment pro.
vides that the state may appro-
pirate not to exceed fwd3tenths
of one mill of taxable property
for forestry purposes. This would
give the state funds with which TO
undertake the reforesting of burn
ed over lands in the northern part
of the state.
There are literally millions OF
acres of land in the northern part
of Wisconsin which are of no value
| for agriculture. If forest fires We're
restrained from burning over the
timber and some sections replant-
ed, the region would produce good
lumber at time when lumber will
be much scarcer than it now is
AS an investment, Mr.. Cranefeld
urged that the enterprise be en-
couraged.
The society gave a rising vote OF
| thanks to R. B. Griggs, who has
contributed some 10000 tulip bulbs
| to be used by the society in a
m embership campaign.

Church Bazaar
Is SucceSSfu I'll

The bazaar and food sale which
was held at the Evangelical church
on Thursday and Friday, was q
decided success. The organization
was complete and the ladies who
had charge of the preparation and
the sale itself did themselves
great credit in the entire plan of
the sale.
A large number were very faith
full and spent much time in their
work in making the articles for
the sale.
The decorations were beautiful
and added much to the attractive
ness Of the rooms in the church
parlors.
One new feature was the rep
resentation Of a goose receiving
the money and handing out the
packages at the fish pond.
The attendance was good on
both days. Many came from Prai-
rie du Sac and Reedsburg and 9th
er places.
In the last business meeting OF
the Aid it was decided to complete
the work for the year by holding
Christmas sale and social
function.

wright ASKED
To PLAN new
JAP Capitol

The structural stamina of the
Imperial hotel in Toxic, which
alone withstood the devastation of
the recent earthquake is believed
to have caused the imperial house
hold of Japan to appeal three
times to Frank Lloyd Wright, its
American designer of Spring Green,
Sank county, to superintend the
rebuilding of portions of the shat
tered capital. Mr.. Wright has re-
fused.
Baron Ourja, representative Of
the household, in his last cable
to Mr.. Wright at his estate near
Spring Green offered an induce
ment if he would return and con-
struct new quarters for the royal
family for whom he already has
built FIVE residences. The cable
was followed by a letter from B.
f. Fleisher, editor Of the Japanese
Advertiser who said that ''influen-
tial business men and officials ask
me to persuade you to direct the re-
building of the city"
Mr.. Wright sent Baron Ojura
his plans, systems and drawings
but said he personally could not
leave business "even to assume
dedication
American building principles and
good American cement were re-
sponsible for the Imperial hotel
with standing the tremors, not the
architect, Mr. Wright declares. He
is now applying some of the ex-
periences on that structure to the
American skyscraper, which he
terms the greatest architectural
development in history.
Mr.. Fleisher's letter also dis
closed that Wright was considered
by many of the Japanese people "a
supernatural being who defied the
devils of the universe in making q
building, they could not over
throw" The Imperial hotel for a
time was taken over by the gov
eminent and also sheltered thous-
ands of stricken natives.
