HTS RALLY TURNED INTO FIGHT AT CR00KEDNESS CHARGE
A DAYS
WALK
With jim RING.

Joe Flynn, the carbonated bev.
erage baron, reports as follows:
"a card is appearing in our
street cars, reading: We're going
to tell who's drinking in this
country"
Aha said an obserVant pas
senger. that's just an advertise
ment for the next edition OF the
Congressional Directory =.
Speaking of car cards, they
haven't gotten beyond their own
medium in popularizing the use
of "naborhood'' for the longer
and accepted spelling.
"Patronize your naborhood
grocer" shrieks the car cards:
or "your naborhood druggist, {"
bootlegger, bridge contractor,
undertaken. or what have you.
But the world, squirting up
ward at the car cards, goes mer-
rily onward, using the cuInber
some "neighborhood" in all its
writings.
Why, then, don't we all use
"naborhood"
EOF one IH1f1S, the pI1OlICliS
spelling hasn't the dignity of age
nor the approval of Webster $
Dictionary "Neighborhood' may
be illogical apd weighU and
slightly awkward, but it is an old
institution, and mankind has q
passion for old institutions.
"Naborhood," in the car cards,
will go on attracting attention
and drawing forth amused re-
marks from the passengers, but
neither this generation nor the
next will find it going any further
into our daily life.
We Ed got his first look at the
Reverend John Roach Straton, the
eminent New York fundamental
LET and reformer, at the meeting
of the Bryan Memorial Commit
tee in the Lafayette Hotel yes
For the information of the con-
stitutency, Doctor Straton is every
inch the reformer. Tall, spare.
coldlv handsome, very. very tight
linped and permeated with an ele-
ga1t but brittle dignity, he talked
more than, anybody else at the
meeting.
He sat with the graceful
majesty of a marble lien near the
platform of Chairman Josephus
Daniels, and snever allowed the
meeting to suffer a pause. II
nobody showed signs of getting
up and talking, Doctor Stfaton
did. At hiss own suggestion, ap-
proved by Mr. Daniels. he led the
meeting in prayer He had come
there to be recognized. He was.
And now we hear, he is to de-
hate with Clarence barrow or
somebody about evolution. If he
does. take our tip and get your
tickets early. Whatever the out
come of the debate may be,
whatever your opinion may be Oh

about subject that laughs

D. S. Welch of Baraboo
Interested in Highways

Creek Falls, known to everyone IN
Sank Country, occurs on the
stream as it passes through the
WEIGH farm. This is one of the
numerous beauty spots of Sank
County and one which will ulti-
mately develop into a summer
resort. There is probably no other
place of its kind in Wisconsin, re-
naming undeveloped, that would
attract as Skillet Creek Falls, due
to its close proximity to Devils
Lake and the Dells of Wisconsin.
Mr.. WEIGH was elected to the
Assembly in the fall of 1922, and
was appointed a member of the
Wiscor. sin Highway Commission by
Governor John I. Blaine in July,
1923, to succeed Fred Pabst. Mr..
WEIGH has been interested in
highways all his life, and his III
innate association with the farm

factor which is very essential to
