Waste on the Farm.

From authoritative reports by gov
ernment officials 1t appears that some
2.6S7.021 cattle die In the United
States annually from disease and ex-
posure-most OF them from neglect,
says the Washington Post From the
same source 1t is also ascertained that
the loss of sheep from the same causes
is as great. These figures only serve
TO show what a wasteful people we are.
One of the excuses the beef trust
makes for high prices of provisions is
the enormous death rate OF live stock
on the range and on the farm, most OF
It due to pure triflngness of the herds
man and the grazier. Indeed the losses
by neglect and exposure greatly ex-
ceeds the losses by disease.
1t would be impossible to estimate
the waste of farm products after they
mature in the field; but II Is enormous.
some OF it due to scarcity of labor, but
most Of it traceable to thriftless hus-
bandry. or in plain speech, downright
laziness. One source of waste is i'm
perfect cultivation, for millions OF
farmers persist In half cultivation of
large areas when they would
make more by proper tillage-
OF fewer acres. Then there is
immense waste In the disre-
gard OF intelligent rotation of crops.
This is the worst sort of waste. for It.
means devastation of soils that re-
quires years of provident tlllage to re-
place. All over the East are aban-
doned farms that would today be gar
dens II they had been given intelli-
gent cultivation. That farmer is not
fit for his vocation, who does not in
crease the fertility Of his soil every
year he cultivates 1t.

CONSUMPTION
CAN BE CURED

The General Federation Women's
Clubs has issued circular in connec-
tion with their work against the
"white plague" which contains a
great deal of good advise for consump-
tives. Among the recommendations
for cure it points out that fresh air
and sunshine; nutritious and well
cooked food; and regulated rest and
exercise are the very best remedies.
1t warns against advertised cures for
consumption, and cites the cause as
follows:
''The cause of consumption is agerm
which is found in the sputum tspit)
coughed up by the consumptive. These
germs may get into the system in
many ways:
l. By fnhaling them in the dried
state from the dust in the air we
breathe.
2. By putting into the mouth ar
ticles that have been used by sick
person.
3. By eating diseased meat or drink
ing infected milk.
4. Occasionally through an abrasion
of the skin.
Prevent consumption by having
anti-spitting ordinances enacted and
enforced. Do not allow others TO in
flct their disease upon you.
Preserve your health by living,
working and sleeping in rooms where
there is fresh air night and day, win
! ter and summer"

ADVERTISING CHAT

Advertising is to business what exer-
else is to the human body. 1t is the
only natural true and healthy way to
steady growth strength and develop
ment.
Judicious advertising is The only
universal remedy for modern busi-
ness in it self, and nothing succeeds
like it. 1t is the only known method
of dealing in futures which bring
large profits with little risks.
The casual reader of a newspaper
may not think of the potent influence
of an advertisement. 1t reaches him
without any effort on his part. 1t
gets to him, and in him, and influences
him, without his knowing it. He
just sees it and obeys it's command
men1 unconsciously, and there in lies
the power Of an advertisement. But
back of it are the brains of the writer,
the business methods of the adver-
tiser, the skill of the ad-setter, the
excellence of the type, the timeliness
of the announcement, the circulation
of the paper, the faith Of the reader
in the publication.

FAREWELL PARTY
TO R. w. LYON

Lynn Renne, city carrier No. 1, en-
tertained his co-workers, Messrs. Geo.
Otto, Otto Nicholson, S. A. Rintel
mann, Roland Baldwin and the Post
master at his home Saturday evening
in honor of r. w. Lyon, city carrier
No. 4, who left Monday morning for
Spokane, WASH, where he will con-
tinue his labors in the postoffice de-
partment as clerk in that office. This
was in manner a farewell to Mr.
Lyon.
Mr.. and Mrs. E. S. Renne had pre-.
pared an elegant feast for the occas.
sion and those present made the most
of it. The evening was spent in social
converse telling experiences which oc-
cur in postotfice duties, and was in
every way very enjoyable affair.
Mr.. Lyon will recall this gathering
with considerable pleasure, and it will
convince him that in leaving Grand
Rapids he takes with him the best
wishes of his associates.

ceeded in having it passed by vote
of 49 to 9, but the bill was held open
on the point of order of no quorum.
1t therefore goes over for two weeks,
when it will be brought up again,
watched with much enthusiasm by
many supporters who hope for and ex-
pect its enactment at this session.
Large numbering contractors are
naturally not anxious to see any such
legislation passed by congress. They
will of course use all means at their
command to defeat it as precedent.
In this respect Mr., Morse espouses the
side of the plain people, or better, the
| plain Iudian, as against larger cor
porate interests. He will be entitled
TO much credit if successful, as he was
also literally complimented after his
determined and line fight for his bill.
The proposed law ,has the unani-
nous endorsement of the house COM
mittee on Indian affairs, of which Mr..
NJ orse is an active member. 1t will
be earnestly supported in the senate
by Senator LaFollette; in fact it will
be known as the Latollette bill over
there. The commissioner Of Indian
affairs is understood to accord hearty
approval to the bill and assures Mr..
Morse that the document is alright.
The bill, provides, in main, that the
government shall erect saw-mills on
the reservation with money of the In
| dians and that Uncle Sam shall super
intend the running of said mills, en-
ploying Indian labor. 1t also con-
uains the valuable and far-reaching
provision that the Bureau of Forestry
shall take charge of the cutting and
preservation of all timber on the reser-
vation. which is perhaps the finest
bunch of trees standing anywhere in
the northwest-10 townships of them.
Mr.. Morse sets forth the objects in
tended to be attained, as follows: ~
To provide renumerative employment
for the Indian in forestry and in lum-
bering. ~ To preserve the forest,
allowing the Indians to cut only
matured timber, thus creating a con-
tinuous supply of trees for all time.
(3) To teach the Indians the art of
forestry and the lumber industry.
In other words this law will estab-
lish in Wisconsin scientific forest
reserve-a new experiment, but one
having many student advocates. The
argument in opposition came mainly
from a Democratic source, claiming
that the project would place too much
power in the hands of the forestry de-
partment, making an opening wedge
to permit them to begin indiscrimin-
ate cutting on the National Forest
Reserves.
There are .1,300 Indians on the Men
ominee Reservation. If Mr.. Morse
gets his bill through it is promised to
afford those Indians fine occupation
aud make them self-supporting for
generations to come.

CLEAN UP IS NOW THE CRY
Every Resident Should Attend
to his Own Premises

Now that spring is here the exhorta-
tion to clean up cannot be repeated to
often. The health commissioners of
the larger cities have already issued
statements to the people to clean
their premises thoroughly and remove
all the debris which has accumulated
during the winter, before the days be-
come so warm that unhealthy stenches
begin to arise, and possibly cause di-
seaSe.
Grand Rapids is naturally clean
city. Its reputation in this regard
should be guarded by every resident,
and the authorities having these
matters in charge will be greatly aided
if the individuals will take it upon
themselves to attend to their own
premises promptly and thoroughly.

FIR. BRENNAN'S
ELOQUENT SPEECH
Was Listened to by a Large
Number of F0resters

Wednesday Mar. Is at the Foresters
hall Rev. j Brennan, of Wausau. de-
livered lecture to the Catholic Order
of Foresters and their ladies on the
subject "The Awakening of the
a merican Conscience Father Bren.
nan is an eloquent and fluent speaker
and expounded bis subject in clear
forcable manner He stated the fact
that nations like individuals have
conscience which determine the des-
tiny of the nation. The nation, being
an aggregate Of individuals, must
have its conscience determined by the
conscience Of the individual, for if
the conscience of individuals respond
to things that are honest, upright
and just, then the nation will be Just
and honest in it's dealings with other
nation and with it's own people.
The matter of great Importance,
therefore. is the training of the mind
and heart of the individual. II the
nations has good schools. and it's
people are religious, and the home is
an ideal one, then the Individual will
be of the highest moral and intel
lectual type. He deprecated the lack
of religion manifest in our public
schools and cited President Elliot and
President Harper, who favored some
religious teaching in the public
schools. He spoke of the influence of
good books, good pictures on the walls,
good newspapers, and good companion
ship. He closed with the hope that
the American people would soon
realize some of the dangers which are
concerning them and that if they
would awaken from the lethargy, the
American Republic would endure.
He closed withsa recitation of Long
fellows poem '"The Ship of State.'
The speaker of the evening was in
troduced by Matt Carey, vice chief
ranger of the order. Prior to the lee
ture Miss Katherine Galligan rendered
an excellent piano selection, which
was followed by a fine vocal solo sung
by Mrs. A. B. Bever.

FOR SCIENTIFIC
FOREST RESERVE
Hon. E. A. Morse Presents a
Bill in Congress That has
Created Wide Interest

WASHINGTON. ID. CA cyclone
passed through the Menominee Indian
Reservation in Shawano County, Wis
consin, about two years ago and
knocked down one hundred million
feet of timber.
Inmy Howe high school days back
at Grand Rapids the teacher explained
to us that cyclone is rotary storm
or whirlwind of extended circuit. II
that definition is we'll suited to express
the meaning of the word as genera
proposition, it will certainly apply
with strikingly prophetic accuracy tc
the aforementioned incident if the
bill presented in the House of Repre-
sentatives on Mar 16, by Hon. e. A.
Morse becomes law. That cyclone
will truly have extended its circuit
far beyond its natural limits and will
have become the nucleus from which
sprung legislation often discussed and
frequently advocated in many sections
of our country, but never yet formed
into a definite regulation. And in
this case, as in so many others, Wis
consin will have assumed the advance
guard she places the leading foot
foremost in great movement-in the
preservation of Forest Reserves.
Congress at its last session passed a
law which provided that the Indian
Department should allow the Indians
on the Menominee Reservation to log
the dead and down timber that is
there. 1t was also provided that the
whites be permitted, under contract,
to erect portable sawmillS and saw The
timber at price not to exceed s.. Sc
per thousand feet. The Indians were
evidently pleased with this recognition
and opportunity. In full faith they
started logging and now have at least
fifty million feet of logs cut and
hauled to proposed mill sites. But no
white men could be induced togo in
and erect SaWmills. In consequence the
IofeSU giants are Wasting on Uhe SkldS,
mere monuments of latent utility
waiting to be given a place in the
useful arts. And the Indian workers
are once more face to face with the
proverbial disappointment that ever
seems to be their portion from Uncle
Sans dispensary.
When Mr.. Morse presented his bill
in the house Mar. Is for passage it
created general interest and lively
discussion. The Member from the
tenth district handled his measure
with all the readiness of any old war
horse of the Floor and he defended it
with telling arguments, He sue

Do Not Crowd the Season.

The first warm days of spring bring
with them a desire to get out and en-
joy the exhilirating air and sunshine.
Children that have been housed up all
winter are brought out and you won-
der where they all came from. The
heavy winter clothing is thrown aside
and many shed their fannels. Then
cold wave comes and people say that
grip is epidemic. Colds at this season
are even more dangerous than in mid
winter, as there is much more danger
of pneumonia. Take Cham berlaln's 8

FIRE DESTROYS
HOUSE AND BARNS
F. E. Roberts Farm in Saratoga
Suffers biq Loss

The home, barns and contents of
both, of F. Il. Roberts the well
known town of Saratoga horse dealer,
were completely destroyed by fire Sat-
urday night. The piano and the live
stock and farm machinery were saved,
but other than this the property was
completely destroyed.
The particulars of the fire are
meyer, but as near as can be ascer-
tanned the fire originated from de-
fective chimney, and before anything
could be effectively done the flames
had spread from the house to the barus
and in a short time every thing had
been destroyed.
The loss will total up to several
thousand dollars, while only partial
insurance was carried by the owner.

Will foreigners who take out their
first papers this month be permitted
to vote at the election on April7?
Under the act passed by the last
congress that now regulates the max
ing of citizens throughout the United
States, second papers cannot be issued
within thirty days of a general elec-
tion by any of the courts of record
authorized to handle naturalization
matters. But the provision does not
affect voting in Wisconsin, because in
this state it is not required that citi-
zens shall be naturalized before they
can vote. All that is necessary to en-
title foreigner to vote in Wisconsin
is that he shall have declared his in
ten.ion of becoming an American citi-
zen. After 1912 second paper will be
required in Wisconsin.
