JUDGE KELSEY

The passing of Judge Kelsey re-
moves another link from between
Sank county's pioneer years and
the present. Wisconsin was still q
territory when he was born at
Prairie du Sac and when living he
was one of the few whose life went
back to territorial times. His go
ing reminds one that death is
gradually removing the diminish
ing group known as early pioneers.
Judge Kelsey was not only law
school graduate but knew law
from it's foundation. He believed
in adhering to the statutes and in
his long term of office applied the
law with exceeding care.
Judge Kelsey was a Democrat,
yet was broad gagged in his i'd
cas- OF politics. The fact that he
was elected term after term in
strongly Republican county
speaks for his conservatism.
There were some interesting
personages in the Office of county
Judge prior to the terms of Judge
Kelsey. On March II, 1914, the
voters of Sauk Prairie precinct
elected Prescott Brigham but he
did not hold the office long for in
September of that year the coun-
ty seat was moved to Baraboo
and Lorrin Cowles, father of the
late DR.. Charles, was elected to
the Office. Judge Cowles was fol-
lowed by George Cargill, Major
w. Ii. Clark, X. u. camp, u. u
Wheeler, S. S. Barlow, John B.
Quimby, c. C. Remington, John
Barker, ]. w. Lusk, Giles Stevens,
and E, w. Young.
OF all those who had completed
their terms of office, Judge KEEL
seys death removes the last one
He was wise and liberal Judge
a good and kindly citizen, and
whose span of years heightened
into a long and useful life. He
served with excellent talents and
served well.

EMPLOYEE INVESTORS

Within the laSL rev years, PUBIC
utility companies. railroads and in
dustrial corporation have deliber-
ately set out to multiply the ranks
of their owners and creditors
through special campaigns to sell
their securities to their employees.
Fourteen railroads are now encolr
aging their employees to become
security holders. For a long time
the public utility companies have
been doing the same thing, along
with their plan of selling their
securities to the users of gas, wa
ter, power and light and railway
service. In the industrial field the
success Of one Of the large steel
companies in aiding its employees
TO become investors has set a goal
at which many other industrial
corporations are aiming. In the
last ten years the number of en-
ployee- stockholders alone has in
creased by almost 100000.
This growing tendency has many
advantages both for the particular
enterprise and its employees. On
the one side, it is teaching wild
er public the fundamentals of
sound investment, encouraging
thrift, and making possible greater

LAND IN FLORIDA

Applicants for homestead pro-
perty crowd the federal land Of
fees in Florida, and officials say
that the little that remains will be
taken by the end of the year.
They will take any land that is
offered, regardless of soil, loca-
ton or actual value.
These people will take this gov
eminent land because they know
that with Florida's present boom
they can sell any land in the state
to someone. That means that a
great deal of land in Florida is
being sold for more than its pres
ent worth or its possible worth for
year and years to come. Boom
physychology! Boom values! Pres
emily the stir will go out of it.
But that will be less loudly adj
verified.
Land is good stuff to buy-if you
know what you are buying for and
what you are going to make out
of it. Land isn't good to buy if
you don't know anything about it,
or only know that it will be need
ed sometime. = Milwaukee Journ-

Lake Minnesonka

In my last letter | promised to
tell you about Lake MinDetonka 1t
has shore line aggregating lao
miles. There are some stretches of
marshy sedgeyes shores but in the
main they are wooded banks ris-
ing 10 to 20 feet from the waters
edge. These banks are ..peppered
with cottages, some built for rent
but a large percentage are the
summer homes of Minneapolis bus
mess people. Many of the latter
class display evidence of good
financial backing. The trolley line
skirts one shore and the Great
Northern railroad the other. Two
fine boulevards connect the lake
with the city and the grounds are
so plated that the cottages are
accessible by auto Drinking wa
ter is plentiful and of the finest.
Some of the vacationists are leay-
ing for home but the cottages are
picked up soon as empty. There
are several small stations on the
railroad between here and the
city. Wayzata, two miles distant,
where we attend Mass, has the
prettiest, cleanest little church |
ever entered. The n4ghbors in
our block are the jolliest crowd
you ever met. They represent
three or four of the eastern
states and must have left the sour
visaged ones at home. Next door
is a young couple, Simpson, from
Dayton, Ohio. The young man is
great fisherman and there has
been only two days since my ad-
vent that he hasn't had a plate
of bass for my dinner.

Looking at these threshing crews
laboring in the broiling sun, with

appreciate the genius of U. s.
Grant. At the siege Of Vickshurg
he became impatient and deter
mined on a series of assaults. He
didn't ask his Kid -gloved West
Pointers to help him; he went
among his Western troops and
chose the lumber jacks from the
backwoods of Wisconsin. the hor-
ny handed farmers from the plains
of Minnesota, and he hurled these
boys again and again against those
supposedly impregnable walls I'M
til finally they crumbled and fell
into ruins.

EVERY DAY
Amos Promised Second Day
Assignment If He'd
Win First

No ball player loved the game
any more than Amos Rusie. who in
his day, was as we'll known as Wal
ter Johnson is at present. The first
berth Rusie had was with the In
d,anapolis club, when that city was
a member Of the National League in
1889. The big boy from Indiana
wanted to pitch every day. The
manager often told Amos that If he
would win today he would let him
pitch tomorrow. No greater induce
ment could be offered and big Amos
would use speed that was a revela-
ton to even the oldest players in
the circuit.
When the Indiana Thunderbolt"
broke into the big show he was| as
wild as a fawn, but no hurler ever
worked harder to gain control than
did the boy, who, a few years later,
was the pride Of Gotham and the
terror of all batsmen. Rusie gained
control. but the steadier he became
the less steam he had and after a
few seasons Of trying to use his
head and good control in coniunc-
ton with a slow ball, he gave it up.
Rusie often remarked that using
your head was all right and good
control was a fine asset, but YOU
couldn't pitch with your head. "Give
me the strong arm that can impart
LIFE to ball that causes it to jump,
and I'll get along without fine head
work" said Amos. For the eight
seasons that his arm was strong
this speed marvel was the big SEN
satiOn in baseball
