L. M. Jacobs of Baraboo and
others have spoken of the large
number of red headed woodpeck-
ers which are killed on the high
ways by automobiles. Mr.. Jacobs
saw three dead birds on the road
between Baraboo and Portage on
a recent trip and the writer saw
two between Baraboo and Madison.
The birds are slow in rising from
the ground and seem to like to
loiter on highways. Evidently
thousands are being killed by the
machines which move almost sill
emily and very swiftly along the
main travelled roads. When a large
bird, dog, or other small object IS
on the road it is we'll for the driv-
er of the car to honk which will
usually result in rapid motion
Cows and hogs are insensible to
approaching danger.
Here is story about Erie Fab
er, tenor, which appeared recent
ly in the Wichita Sunday Eagle:
"a certain popular young tenor,
now of Denver, who is to appear
in concert with Salvi, at Sterling,
Kan, Tuesday evening, had uni
que experience in Wichita. He
started to array himself in his
dress suit, tbs said, when he found
that he had inadvertently omitted
to pack his dress shirt. He search
ed frantically up and down Doug
las avenue for shop where he
could buy one, but the hour was
late and the only place he found
open was millinery store. In his
extremity an inspiration came to
him. He begged some white paste
board from the young woman in
charge, returned to his hotel, made
a shirt front, inserted his studs,
hooked on a collar and made a hit
with the audience. He did put up
a sitter front than usual and could
not respond with a gracious bow to
their applause"
The Dickey County Leader of
Glendale, N. D., has the following
to say of the late Frank M Walton,
a brother-in-law of Mrs. w. d. Stan
ley of his city and we'll known in

'Mr. Walton's strength of char
acter won and held public conf
dence. He was broad minded, pub
lic-spirited and generous. He want
ed the best for Glendale and had
faith in his fellow citizens. His
kindness, his ready sympathy, his
optimism and his friendliness reach
ed young people and chilren as well
as older associates. Gentle and
home-loving, Mr.. Walton was an
ideal husband and father, a Chris
tian gentleman whom the commun-
ity will long mourn. Sympathy is
extended to Mrs. Walton and Mil
