A bill to amend the law which

senate. The measure was intro.
duced as a result of agitation in
Madison for new chief who pre-

MINER, for example, is regarded as

even though he had useful exper-
fence as school teacher and lawyer;
but he clearly is of the soil. a

MAKING SOAP

Why have poets never sung OF
soap-makng days? Days when the
pods ON the tall cottonwoods were
bursting and shedding their snowy
pollen; days when the hens wal
lowed in the dust and sang their
raucous tunes Justify. Days when
tho hired man, at mothers bidding,
cot out the huge old black kettle,
placed its three legs securely on
bricks and built a fire under it and
mother brought out the box or
"cracklings" which she had been
saving in the smoke house and
several cans of I've and made the
years supply of soap.
Soap making days were great
sport for the small fry. Even the
hateful tasks of carrying wood and
water lost their irksomeness. 1t
was work to fill the woodbox and
fathomless reservoir on the old
Home Comfort range, but to keep
the fire roaring under the old black
kettle was play.
How many cans of I've, how many
pounds Of grease or how many pals
of water went into the old black
kettle we never knew. In the lang
uage of the hired man, soap was
made "by guess and by golly." Like
Mr. Finneys famed turnip, mother
boiled and boiled it as long as she
was able" and then she tested it
with a feather which we children
brought from the henhouse; added
more "cracklings" or more lye,
whichever the feather thermometer
indicated, and perhaps a dipperful
or two of water and boiled it some
more, and finally pronounced it
done" She raked the Goals away
from the kettle and left the mixture
to cool. She never knew until next
morning when with dads old corn
knife she cut it into great wedges
and put them to dry on the scaffold
in the corn crib whether it was
really q success. Soap making day
was fraught with uncertainty for
mother, no doubt, but it was one

OLLAPODRLDA
Baraboo's Opportunity

Every city the size of Baraboo
has, or ought to have a public
auditorium. As yet BaraboO has
no such building. There is, how
ever, a present opportunity to get
such an auditorium at very small
cost. The question is will Bara-
boo rise to the occasion and take
advantage Of the opportunity now
offored?" You will ask: What is
this opportunity"
The Directors of the Y. M. c. a.
are willing to turn over to the city
OF Baraboo the Y. NJ. C.. A. building
and the lot on the corner OF Ash
and Second Streets upon the con
dition that the city put the Y. M
G. A. building in proper repair and
erect on the vacant portion Of said
lot an auditorium to cost not less
than $17,00000. The Y. NJ. G. A.
property is free from all debt and
it is estimated to be worth about
S35, 100000.
An auditorium building about
ninety feet long and sixty feet wide
would be a very valuable asset to
our city. Such a building could
be used for many purposes. 1t
could be used for all kind Of ath-
letic sports; it could be used for
lectures, concerts and dances. It
would be an ideal place to hold
public conventions; it would be a
convenient place to hold social, re-
ligious, fraternal and political gath
erings; it could be used for indus
trial and educational purposes. I'm
doubleday it would prove most
valuable building for many other
purposes. This auditorium, to-
gether with the other parts of the
Y. M. G. A. building, could be rent
ed and q revenue derived there
from, which would undoubtedly pay
for the entire expense of keeping
the building in repair and the eX-
pense of encouragement.
The question is: Would it be an
advantage to the city to accept
this very liberal offer of the Y. M.
c. A.? If so, then let us get busy
and recommend the acceptance Of
the proposition. 1t would seem
that if the citizens Of Baraboo ia
vor such an acceptance then the
city council would net hesitate to
accept the proposition made by the
has taken up the matter and it's
Y. M. c.. A. The Kiwanis Club
members unanimously favor the
acceptance of the offer Of the Y.
M. G. A.
1t is very desirable that other or
CARNATIONS take up the matter and
take such action as they think
proper; in fact every citizen should
take an interest in the matter and
express his CT her opinion.
Today Baraboo can boast the most
beautiful theatre, the incest court
house, an attractive park and fine
athletic field; let us add a beauti-
full auditorium and we can then be
Justly proud of the public buildings
and grounds of our city.

 RECENT ADDRESS
EARTHQUAKES ARE BLESSINGS IN iSGUISE-ALL HUMAN
 ARE NUTTY.

LONDON, Oct. 25.-New York, London and Paris buried beneath glaciers-a new civilization occupy ing, under genial climate, the present polar regions-among the unemployed men who are potential professional champions if their talent can be recognized these are some of the thought-provoking sub iects which have been discussed dur ing the conference of the British As sociation at Southampton.
 Professor w. A. Parks, touching upon climate in his address on geol- ogy, said:
 Within a measurable number of years it is not impossible that the sites of our present civilization will be buried under glaciers and that new civilization will occupy the present inhospitable regions around the poles. Despite the changes in any given locality the continued ex- istence of life is sufficient evidence that the whole globe has not expert enced, from the earliest geological time, any very great universal change in climate"
 In estimating the earth's age, Pro- lessor Parks continued, the tendency is for higher and higher figures. In 1917 Barrell computed it at from l. 24O,OOO,OOO to 1,7OO,0O0,0OO years.
 The professor is confident that the, upward tendency of life will reach into the future.
 '"The power of erosion" he said, lis great enough to have reduced our mass of land to sea level time and time again. But that result has never been attained, Reju- venation has kept pace with erosion thru hundreds of millions of years. Is this nicety of adjustment of op- posing forces coincidence, or is it evidence of design? I believe it is design.
 Earthquakes are ? aTEblessing in disguise, for if the earth's crust were so rigid as to resist earth quakes there would be a tremen- dous calamity Earthquakes and chronic shocks, however, will tend to become more frequent but less severe"
 That every normal man, woman and child is genius at something as we'll as an idiot at something is the theory of Professor s. Spear man. He points that it remains to discover at what, at any rate in re spect of the genius. He continues
 "The considera tions have often appealed to be on looking at a pro cession of the unemployed and hear ing someone whisper that they are mostly unemployable. That they are actually so I cannot help concurring But need they be so necessarily? Re member that every one of these, too is a genius at something, if we could only discover what. I cherish no il lusions that among them may be marching, some mute, inglorious Mil ton, some Cromwell guiltless of his country's blood but I am confident that every one of them could dc something that would make his a treasure in some great industrial con cern..
