I @ I nNOAPPING-FORK. buildings are all kept well painted, with door- yards nicely mown and tidied up. Red Oak certainly is a model residence place. And its people appear to take much pride in keeping up a thrifty and home-like appearance, which indicates prosperity and success. By the way. Red Oak has a "curfew whistle " at 9 p m., instead of ringing a bell at that time for the children to go home. It is the whistle connected with the electric power and lighting plant which runs day and night. We hope to visit Red Oak again some time. It is in itself an inspiration, and makes one feel like wanting to go there again. Mr. W. P. Just, editor of the Sauk County (Wis.) News, called at this office June 34. Mr. Just is also a bee-keeper, and takes great interest in everything relating to the busy bee.
