There will have to be big increase
in the sale OF the Red Cross holiday
stamps if the mark set for Wisconsin
is to be reached this year. Before
the stamps were placed on sale it was
announced that 100000 of them
would have to be disposed of in order
that the anti-tuberculosis association
might have all the money needed to
carry on the campaign in this state
next year and so far only about half
that number have actually been dis
posed of and the money for them paid
in. The rest are in the hands of the
distributors and if they are disposed of
at all they will have to be sold this
week. After Christmas the demand
for the stamps will be small 1t goes
without saying that the campaign
against the white plague in Wisconsin
must not be allowed to drag for any
lack of funds and if sufficient money
is not raised by the sale of these
stamps it will have to be raised some
other way, but as the stamp sale offers
the easiest way for everybody to con
tribute something to this fund it Should
be pushed to the limit.

The prompt restitution by the sugar
men Of vast sums in revenue charges
out Of which the government has been
defrauded without waiting for the
government to institute suits for the
recovery of this money is too much like
contributions to conscience funds" to
be altogether satisfactory. In nine
cases out of ten a contribution to any
conscience fund is far below what it
should be and that may be the case
with the sugar people.

LOSES IN OLD FIGHT
Judge Belden Decides Against A. G..
Rietbrock Monday Morning

In the circuit court Monday morning
Judge Belden handed down a decision
in the suit of A. c. Rietbrock VS.. the
Town of Wheatland in which he held
that Judgment should be rendered in
favor of the town board. The suit was
an outgrowth of the old McGarry road
case which was in the courts for years
and at one time Rietbrock, who is
Milwaukee attorney, was the represen-
tative of the town of Wheatland. At
the close of the fight over the road he
presented bill for services to the
town and it was not paid. He brought
suit to collect his fees and the court
has now decided the suit in favor of
the town. It is probable that the
case will be taken to the supreme court.

Ex-Governor Hoch ascribes the sue
cess of the progressive movement in
his state to the fact that the people
of Kansas have been educated "to see
the necessity of electing men as mayors,
judges, district attorneys, sheriffs and
officers who have a respect for the law
because it is the law and who enforce
it" and he believes that it is just this
strict enforcement of the law as it is
found ON the statute books of the state
which is directly responsible for
most of the reforms which have
made Kansas noted in the past
decade With force absolutely
uninfuenced by any outside con-
siderations in the administration of
the law it has been easy to secure
needed changes for it is automatic that
the best and quickest way to get rid
of bad law is to enforce it, There
is a lesson in the history of Kansas
for the last ten years and signs are
not lacking that other states. are pre-
pairing to profit by it.

ON A SERIOUS CHARGE
Man and Woman Arrested on Broad
Street on Statutory Charge Sunday

Man and Woman Arrested on Broad
Street on Statutory Charge Sunday
Something of a sensation was caus-
ed on Sunday afternoon when a-~posse
of police officers went to a house on
Broad street and caused the arrest of
Mrs. Anna Szazzdeny and Jorgen Seem
kus on charges of statutory nature.
The man and woman spent the night
in the county Jail and were arraigned
in the municipal court Monday morning
and the hearing of the case continued
until later in the week. Tt is BEGIN
ming to look as if they will get a
chance to spend Christmas in Jail.
Both the man and woman have been
in court before and it is probable that
the district attorney will insist on a
vigorous prosecution of the charges.

HALF MILLION OF
DOLLARS THIS YEAR
AMOUNT RECEIVED BY WAL.
Iowa COUNTY GROWERS
FOR SHEEP AND WOOL.

Fully 10000 sheep have been or
will be shipped from this county this
spring and summer, and conserva-
tive estimate of the total returns,
made by one of the leading sheep
growers of the county, ]. H. Dobbin
of Prairie Creek, is $140,000. To this
total will be added the thousands of
dollars that will be paid Wallowa
county growers for lambs this fall
and the 100000 for wool. All told,
the sheep and wool business will
bring over half million dollars into
the county this year That's some
money.
Mr.. Dobbin has already shipped
from Enterprise 420O head of sheep
to F. e. Runner at Billings, Mont,
and Will Stlckney 100 head at the
same time to the same man. Falco-
ner Bros. have sent out 1000 head
to North Yakima parties. A baEd
of 5000 of Dobbias growing are
being driven out to Elgin for Pinney
of Wyoming, and Mr., Dobbin also has
1880 head and Falconer Bros. $500
head being driven by way Of the
Snake river to Butterfield of Welser.
r, F. Stubbleield has sold 5000
head to Salvatore of North Yakima
and another train load of 1000 head
will be sent to Runner at Billings
by Herman and Isom. F. D. Mccully
will ship 5000 two year olds to Chi
cage, and E. R. Bowlby will drive
band of about 1000 ewes and lambs
to Idaho, they having been sold to
a Boise man. c. P. Ragsdale and
NJ. E. Hotchkiss have shipped 1000
to North Yakima, and E. A. Ander-
son shipped out 1000 a couple of
months ago,
This IS season Of wonderful pros
petty for the sheep men. Wool
brought the highest average price
ever received in here, though If 1t
had been held for a sales day the
general opinion is that the growers
would have received from one to
three cents more per pound. The price
of sheep is way up and seems to
keep climbing, all the markets
east and west making new high
records.
