Hunters Must
Take Care; Not
Kill Pheasants

w. Kinney, who resides on a
farm south Of Baraboo on the old
Devils lake road, states that there
are five or more pheasants which
have become very tame and which
come right up to the doorstep of
his home. The pretty birds mingle
with the hens and are quite without
fear.
Many hunters frequent the woods
near the Kinney home and Mr..
Kinney is-anxious lest they by mis-
take or through thoughtlessness
kill the pheasants. The birds have
been brought here only by effort of
Baraboo sportsmen, the pheasants
having been Matched through the
efforts of several members of the
Izaak Walton league and it would
be dastardfy for hunters to de-
stroy them now. There have been
so few of the birds in this county
that many people are not familiar
with them and hunters should take
care to know what they are shoot
ing.

Fearing hog cholera, he called DR..
Frank Fletcher. Fletcher arrived,

The animals by the foot to pull it up
to dry spot where he could hold a

knocked unconscious by terrific
shock. He managed to stumble
from the pool without falling into
the water which would probably
have meant death.
Investigation proved that a corn

end of the wire rested in the pool
of water forming a veritable "elec-
trio puddle"

OPENING MEET

(By Edna Reynolds)

The Catholic Woman's club OPP
ened its program, for the year,
with dinner at the Warren Hotel,
Wednesday evening. A hundred
and twenty-five guests, including
many from kilbourn were present.
Praise and commentator are due
the hostesses, Mesdames c.. w. Hill
lard, c. l.. Roser, j. H. Hubbard
and Miss Anne Donaghey for their
unsparing efforts in making the
evening complete success. The
tables and rooms were prettily de-
corated in autumn flowers and
pleasing musical selections were
given during the dinner. At the
closing of the program, America
was sung, with Mrs. r. G. Fogle as
accompanies at the piano.
U. w. Chaplin Speaks
Rev. Father Hengell, University
of Wisconsin chaplin, was intro
duced by the toastmistress, Mrs. d.
M. Kelly. #
Father Hengell spoke upon a
very timely subject, Clear Think
ing and Clean Living"
"We are going backwards in
spiritual way" he said, because CT
our reluctance to do intelligent
thinking. Today is the day of slo-
gans and epigrams, which sound
we'll but have not meaning. These
attempts to use terms of three or
four meanings and are usually
simple statements dressed in unus-
ual or mysterious language. They
flatter self conceit, but offer no
stimulation, for intelligent think
ing. Near science may designate
these catchy phrases which have
brought about woeful lack of train
ing in logic.
What we need today more than
anything else is training in logic.
Logic has been abused and pushed
aside for natural science. Logic
takes the place of clear thinking
and we cannot prove anything with
out logic. Near science is char
acterized by a one track mind
which is bound to prove things re-
CARELESS of facts. If facts don't a
gree with the theory-so much the
worse for the theory. The method
of procedure in logic is to get our
facts first and then prove them.
MANY phrases used to put a.
cross the near science meet with
popular approval, because SO few
people wish to think intelligently.
The loose thinking of today fav-
ors uncIean living"
Father HengelI, called the at
tention of the audience to the most
constructive address of President
Coolidge to the American Legion
convention which shows much in
telligent thinking.

LAW MAKING
AT PRESENT
Justice NJ. B. ROsen-
berry of the Sup
RENE Court at Fort
nightly Club

The Fortnightly Literary club
ON Friday night at the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. H. E. Cole, opened
the thirty seventh year of the or
ganization with an address by JUS
tice M. B. Rosenberg of the state
supreme court, Madison. There
was large attendance of the
members and visitors.
Justice Rosenberg took for his
subject "Some Aspects of Present
Day Law Making" and most ably
presented the many phases of the
question. He is ready speaker,
clear thinker and greatly pleased
those present with his discourse.
The amount Of statute law en-
acted in this county is incompre-
hensible, declared the speaker.
Law after law has been passed by
the various states until the mass
is almost unbelievable.
In his investigation, Justice Ros
enberry found that each genera
ton through all history has had
the same problems. These ques-
tions were largely of transportation
and distribution of the necessities
of life.
When the wheel first. came into
use, it caused a revolution in the
ways of life, the same with spin
ming and knitting. Then the ap-
plication of steam and electricity
to the machine brought about new
situations which had to be met.
In the old days there was strug
gle for the land for possession
meant wealth, power and resourc-
es. Today the whole process has
been revolutionized.
Within the past twenty years
there has come another change,
the basic forces, electricity and the
engine with internal combustion
being applied to farm machinery,
| The life on the farm today is far
different from that of few years
ago. The effect is along no defin-
tie line.
Source of Law
The source of lawsis in the Gus
toms of the people Some laws or
customs go back into the dawn
of history, one of which the speak
err mentioned was the striking or
shaking of hands to bind bar
gain.
I Justice Rosenberg then took UP
the social change which began
with the making of cloth, foot wear
and other essentials in the home
ND to the present when almost ev-
erything is manufactured in large
factories.
In the old days the family was an
economic unity, today the family
is scattered. The tendency today
| is to shirk or shift the load. 1t is
now hard to find anything for the
city boy to do.
Because many persons refuse tc
recognize new ideas, because they
fail to realize new conditions, laws
