member A. B. Stout, a member OF
the Baraboo High School faculty
when the late Superintendent G..
w. Gehrand was in charge Of the
schools. The following sad mess

At the hour of dawn on the
morning Of July Goth, the souls oil
Master Arrow Burdette Stout left
it's earthly body. Almost without
warning infantile paralysis had
baffled medical aid. AS if an om-
en- of promise, in the same hour the
first blossom of the season spread
it's petals on the beautiful and
fragrant golden banded lilies
which grow in our garden where
Arrow spent so much time. He
had been watching for this first
flower. It is fitting that his stilled
hand now carries it.
Arrow would have been with us
nine years 4du H0 1l'Cu u'A
August fifth. We three who are
left in the family have wonderful
Nv rich memory to cherish and to
guide us toward right living. 1t
seems to us that no. child ever liv-
ed with disposition more sweet
and endearing and with a mind
more responsive to even the I'M
spoken wishes of his parents. For
his mother he had a rare sympa-i
thy and thoughtful care, he was
his "daddy's pal's and his love for
his sister was a. joy to behold.
Goodness and love ruled his life.
We can honor him in no better
way than to reflect more Of his
virtues in our own lives.
With all who in thought or IN
deed remember our little man, we.
his mother, father and sister glad
ly share the rich heritage of his
memory

My Dear Sir:
Your article about GLOW the people

last issue was good and to the point
Please keep it up. Now, as YOU know,
there is a lot Of hot air going on IN
the press of the country about what
are we going to do to help the farm
er. All over the country question
naires are being sent out by the many
farm bureaus asking a whole lot OF
sillv questions for the farmers to
answer and to send them in. The
thought comes to my mind: "Don t
the people elect members to our y.
s. Congress Q" Perhaps these fell
lows never heard of such an animal
as a farmer. They sure are well &C
uuainted with the business men and
their needs in the u. S. A. Now at
the present time we have, what we
call in politics, the Republican party,
in power at Washington, D. G. The
Republican party believes in tariff to
protect home industry To keep out
goods made by cheap labor in Europe

let's see just what the party in pow.
er is doing for the wheat farmer. Il
is geneally known that the farm i'm
plements made by well paid U. S
labor sells for a great deal less IL
Europe than to the farmer in U. S
A. In other words the big profit TIL
