'A'' NEW 'BAGDAD


There has been a great awGk-
ening in Bagdad. The new learn
ing, it seems is so much wanted
that they have started night
schools to teach history and as
simulate dates of another kind. An
old woman, coming her books,
was upbraided by callow youth
for her bold, intellectual adven-
ture. She replied with spirit:
Il have worked all my days,
and no one has ever put before
me the chance to learn till now.
Did not thee Prophet say, who
seeks knowledge adores God?
have as much right here as you
have"
Besides history there are classes
in English, reading, writing, ar
ithmetic and elementary science.
The schools are due to the initia-
tive of a public spirited citizen in
a land thought hopelessly back
ward and Indifferent. The govern
ment has granted a subvention to
aid in carrying on the work.

Ollapodrida
To a One-Ring Show
Buchanan, Mich

The grass was green on the vacant
lot
Where the circus used to show
And they made the ring with a
one horse pow
Whenethey made it years ago.
Say, carried water for the~ele-
plant,
So / guess / ought to know;
And while they only had one pach-
yderm,
We thought it was some show.
The grand entry wouldn't be much
now;
They just rode around one ring
But it was the triumphant caval-
cade
OF romance's challenging.
On the blue stringer seats we
drank it in
Adventure and romance, all;
While something in the: lifting
tunes of the band
Seemed to voice sirens call
There was thrill in the leapers
sOmersaults-
At the end a little chap turned
two;
Some kids said he travelled with
Barnum once;
But I don't believe they knew.
The clown sang a song and they
all joined in
Then a guy that was drunk rode
horse;
That is, he pretended to ride at
first
He was pretending to be drunk,
of course.
A chap walked wire, and a man
an awful liar,
Promised things in the concert
that were new;
But ! found out he was wicked, for
when they got my ticket
He'd told a lot of things that
weren't true.
There is something that lives in a
favored spot
Where youths memories still
grow,
That answered a quest when the
world was young
And / went to a one ring show

A MUCH NEEDED TEXT BOOK

The standard of living in our
home county is possibly as high as
any county in the state; certainly
it is higher than the standard OBJ
tanning anywhere abroad. There
is not an American alive who does
not feel proud of the superior liv-
ing conditions of Americans. If
the standard is to be maintained,
however, the time has arrived for
the nation generally to give SER
ious thought to the curbing OF
waste in living, and 70 the inaug-
uration of a period of sensible
saving. Even more important is
the necessity to press for some
reform in our school system which
will bring to the youth of the
country a deeper UNDERSTANDING of
economics and a more sensible i'd
ca of the personal budget.
There are forty-four millions of
the American people now gainful-
" employed who earn more than
100000, 100000 yearly. The bust
ness of managing such an income
is staggering problem. bewilder-
ing, when one considers that ev-
cry worker is a member of the
board of directors. Fully $4,000,
100000 is wasted every year be-
cause the directors know nothing
of economics.

Rev. Bloom Writes


Kind Friends:
/ see that my subscription to the
Baraboo Weekly News has expired
SO here is my check for renewal.
You ask for some news items as
to ourselves. The crops in this
vicinity and the weather. Well, ]
am on my 7th year as pastor of
the Advent Christian church here,
one of the oldest in the denomin-
alton in the Middle West. We have
just returned from our annual
campmeeting, held this year at
Naperville, ILL.,, and which, no
doubt, pastor E. o. Coontz has al
ready reported to you, or will re-
port.
We are in lBerrien County, the
banner fruit county OF the state,
but on account OF earlier freezes,
droughts, ETC., the fruit crop this
year is below normal. | am told
that not a fourth of crop of
peaches will be harvested this year
and only about a third of the us
ual crop of grapes. There are
some nice peaches in the market
now at about 50 to So a bushel.
There will be quite few apples
and some pears. We have fine
corn crop in this vicinity and com
mon vegetables have done fairly
well around here.
There is some fine celery raised
here also. 1t is in the market now
at about 25c large bunch. This
summer and fall have been hold
ing my Sunday evening services at
the public park, from to s pm.

1t was rather a peculiar accident
that befell Mrs. Della Draper
Noyes, Detroit, who visited in Bara-
boo late in June, leaving here for
a short stop with Mrs. Kittie Ryan
Hamon, at ST. Paul. The day be-
fore she was to start for home she
was standing on the front porch
when one of the Hamon dogs play
fully sprang up, knocking her over
backwards off the porch. No bon
es were broken, but head and back
were so painfully hurt that the vic
tim was confined to the bed for
eleven days before she was able to
proceed homeward Even yet she
is not entirely recovered. Mrs.
Noyes came to Wisconsin for her
fiftieth class reunion at the Uni
versity.
