/ 1t is always interesting to hear
of the impression which Baraboo
i makes on outsiders who visit the
city. People of the city are often
accused of being unappreciatiye of
its attractions and for this reason
it is sometimes well to quote the
compliments given Beautiful Bara-
boo.
A group of representatives from
northwest Texas on Dairy Tour
stopped here on three weeks
auto tour of nine states. studying
dairy conditions, during the past
month. w. w. Kradwell. of this
city extended the visitors numer-
Gus courtesies and he has received
from one of the party letter OF
appreciation in which he says:
"Just a line to let you know that
we arrived home safely and had one
wonderful trip. / think it was un-
animous in our car that your city
and surrounding country was the
most enticing that we saw on the
whole trip
Those who visited Baraboo were
w. B. Lee of the Spur National
Bank, Spur, Texas ". Il. Lewis,
merchant of Spur; L. T. Hunter
county agent of Childress, Texas;
Joe II. Ward of the First National
Bank, Childress; and r. e. L. Pat
tillo, county agent of Quanah, Tex
as.
The party covered in all about
5000 miles and they traversed 8
states. A day and a half was
spent here and Devils lake was Wis
tied among other local attractions.
Folks "look to Lewis" for more
than real estate buys. Whenever
they feel blue. just a few minutes
with Leora and the whole world
seems just about all right again.

are caught. Here is a case which
well illustrates what sometimes
takes place. A number of years

valuables taken and the local Off

until long time after. Meeting

"Strange you never caught those
fellows who robbed the Richland
Center Office several years ago."

prison for more than five years.
The detectives and others work
quietly, when a man is caught he
appears in a federal court and
then placed in penitentiary.
Those interested at the place of
the crime are seldom notified.
