village for $4,000 to pay for their
share of the free bridge, and the vote

the counties of Grant and Richland

cost of which is $240,000.

TALKS ON FORESTRY
Normal Head Entertains Kiwanians on
Subject OF Conservation.

Prof Ullrich of Platteville Normal
delivered an interesting talk before
the Kiwanis club Wednesday. With
National Forest Week in mind Mr..
Ullrich talked in an entertaining and
Informative way on the value of trees,
dealing in both a practical and es-
thetic way with the subject. He
dwelt on the tremendous destruction
of forest resources and the scant me-
thods of replacement as a grave prob
lem to be met soon by united effort
and interest of all citizens. Speaking
from the health standpoint, Prof. Ull-
rich said that trees made hot weather
more bearable because a good sized
tree emitted about 200 gallons of water
by evaporation on a hot day, thus
cooling the air considerably. He re-
ferred to the innumerable uses of
forest products and said that unless
something was done it would be but
a short time until there would be no
wood for houses, furniture or thous-
and other purposes. Mr.. Ullrich con-
cluded with story of forest in its
beauty and how much delight it gave.
He then drew the stark picture of the
same tract after it had been Quilted
and ruined by the cutters. Must
Man despoil everything he touches"

No Size Limit to
Trout This Season

MADISON-Wiscons fishermen in
questioning the state conservation
commission on state laws governing
the size of trout that may be caught
in state waters, were informed that
there is at present no law on the stat
ute books which regulates the size of
any catchable fish in Wisconsin. The
1928 legislature repealed law which
put a minimum size of seven inches
on trout which could be caught in the
state. Unless the present legislature
passes a regulation law, Wisconsin
fishermen may catch them large and
small in season.

Fisherman's Wife Missing
The young wife of George Johnson

day. 1t is alleged that she left with a

supplemented, and the young woman,
in her early twenties, were married
last fall and have been living in a
shanty on the Dewey farm. They have
been in very Strengthened circumstan-
ces all winter. Johnson is a good
Woodworking fellow, but not very
bright. His wife is not much above
him in intelligence.
Bates, with whom the woman is al
legged to have left, is middle-aged and
spends most of his time on the river.
The story is that the woman was in
duced to leave her home by Bates
Bates was seen at the Johnson home

fixing fences around his little tract

LIKE REAL THING
POtOsi Brewers Develop Legal Bever.
age Like ''0ld Time" Stuff.

The Potosi Brg. Co., operated by
Schumacher Bros, after months of
careful test and experiment, have de-
veloped a strictly legal cereal bever-
age that looks and tastes greatly like
old-time beer but is of legal alcoholic
content. A method of retaining the es-
sences of real beer during the deal
coholizing process has been very well
worked out although it is still under
observation.
The new "near-beer" is as near the
regular brew as anything yet devel-
oped. Those who like the slightly Bit
ter, bracing taste of good malt bev-
erage will appreciate it.
The Schumacher brewery is operated
strictly in compliance with the law
and the methods of the firm in this re-
gard has won them the respect of the
enforcement officials and public alike.

that many trees have been cut away
and some of the old-time forest fast
nesses are gone forever.

SAYS MOONSHINE
is SURE DEATH
BOscObel Deputy Sheriff Has
Made Study of Potent
Effects of Booze.

OSCOBEL-George L. Hunt, depu-
ty sheriff at Boscobel, in the last two
years has been paying considerable
attention to the terribly poisonous eff
feet of moonShine.
Mr.. Hunt cites as proof of his con-
tention that all moonshine is danger
Gus from the official analysis made
by chemist at the last term of cir
cult court Out of the twenty-eight
samples of moonshine collected, %
samples contained sufficient poison in
one pint to kill person if that
amount was taken in six hours.
If a person wants to die or be par
alyzed, the only thing to do would
be to get a pint of moonshine and
drink it. Nine times out of ten there
is sufficient poison in it to kill per-
son, so Mr.. Hunt AYERS.

FREE CHEST
CLINICS FOR,
COUNTY SOON
Five Towns to Be Visited By
State Specialists During
the Month of May.

Grant county is to have series of
free chest clinics in May These elm
les will be conducted by members of
the Wisconsin Anti-Tuberculosis As
ISOLATION Staff. The schedule for the
five towns in which the clinics will be
held is as follows:
10; Fennimore, May 20; Cassville,
May 81; Platteville, May 1928.
Grant county people are thoroughly
familiar with the work of the free
chest clinic, the same having been
held in the county the past few years.
Last year four towns were visited and
248 people were examined. Of this
number Sc were found to be tubercu-
Ious
In Muscoda, Mrs. C. J. Dvorak is in
charge of arrangements; at Boscobel,
Fennimore, A. E. Keller is managing
the clinic; at Cassville, Mrs. G. A.
Stevens is in charge, and at Platte
vile, Mrs. Grant Eastman is in charge
of the clinic.
Although the battle that is being
waged against tuberculosis is un-
questionably won, there is still far too
much havoc wrought by this much
dreaded disease. The clinic records
still show an occasional tragedy-a
case where a whole family is wiped
out by the great white plague. These
records hold stories of young children
made orphans by the disease; of par
ents bereft of their young sons and
daughters; of homes broken up by
tuberculosis.

THE TREE

think that 1 shall never see
A poem lovely a tree.
A tree whose hanging mouth is prest
Against the Earth's sweet loving breast
A tree that looks at God all day
And lifts her leafy arms to pray.
A tree that may in Summer wear,
A nest of robins in her hair.
Upon whose breast the snow has lain,
Who intimately lives with rain.
Poems made by fools like me
But only God can make tree.-By Joyce
Kilmer who died with the L. S. arms IL

CHERRY TREE IN SPRING TIME

Loveliest of trees, the cherry now
Is hung with bloom along the bough,
And stands about the woodland ride
Wearing white for Eastertide.
Now, of my threescore years and ten,
Twenty will not come again,
And take from seventy springs a score
1t only leaves me fifty more.
And since to look at things in bloom
Fifty springs are little room,
About the woodlands 1 will og,
To see the cherry hung with snow.
