Shields For Soldiers.

Experiments conducted in England
suggest the possibility that shields
may once more form an important
part Of the equipment of an army.
Steel shields three miIlimeters in
thickness and about $50 square inches
in area have been devised, which af-
ford complete protection against bull
lets fired from the service rifle at
range of 400 yards.
The small size of the shield, which
weighs only seven pounds, requires
that the soldier shall lie prone on the
ground in order to be sheltered. Each
shield has a loophole for the rifle and
studs at the sides, so that series Of
them can be linked into a continuous
screen. The idea is that by the use
Of such shields the necessity Of dig
ging trenches may often be avoided

Good Literature for High
School Students.

To furnish pupils in first year English
in the high schools with interesting
literature in one volume Miss Margaret
Ashmun, instructor in English at the
University of Wisconsin, has edited a
book entitled Prose Literature for Sc
condary Schools"
Besides containing stories, the book
shows how high school pupils can write
compositions on similar subjects and
gives them suggestions for so doing.
To encourage pupils to do more library
reading, lists of readable books to be
found in most school and public libra
ries, are also given.
The Introduction on the methods of
correlating class room study of litera-
ture, the writing of compositions, and
the reading of good library books, is
written by Dr. Willard G. Bleyer,
chairman of the course in journalism
at the University of Wisconsin.

Wisconsin Agriculture May be
Doubled.

By the utilization of lands not now
under cultivation, by the scientific
farming of land now in use and by
improving the crops and live stock
grown, the agricultural production of
Wisconsin can be doubled, is the opinion
of DR.. Henry c. Taylor. professor of
agricultural economics in the Univer.
sity OF Wisconsin College of Agricul-
ure, as expressed in an address before
the Milwaukee Merchants and Manu-
facturers Association last week.
In discussing the agricultural posi-
bilities of the state, DR.. Taylor pointed
out that only three fifths of the land
area of the state is now in farms and
that approximately fourteen millions
acres of land are now under cultivation.
Of this area, eleven to twelve millions
acres should be converted into farms,
only such lands being reserved for
forests as are now suited to agriculture.
DIR. Taylor pointed out that owing to
the increased prices of farm products
many of the marshes, which comprise
about three million acres in Wisconsin
may proftably be drained. There are
about eight million acres of stump lands
awaiting developement. all of which is

If one enters do not kick or threaten

CHANGED CONDITIONS
In the Lead and Zinc Region of
Southwest Wisconsin,.

Benton Advocate, Dec. 2: Eight
years ago there was not a mining plant
of much Importance in the whole of
the Wisconsin region; here and there
throughout the country were small
dumps of dirt, thrown out by the far
mers or prospectors during the winter
months while taking out lead which
could be found above the water line
When water was reached the prospect
was left, no matter how fattering it
might seem, as the expense Of putting
on pumping machinery was considered
too great for one or two men. And the
price of lead was so low at one time
that it failed to pay the expense even of
shallow lead digging, being at one
time only fourteen dollars thousand
pounds.
To-day far different scene greets
the eye when passing through southwest
Wisconsin. During this period of eight
years there have sprung into existence
more than a hundred and seventy five
actual producing mines and a hundred
and twenty five which will soon be.
Over three million dollars has been
expended on these properties. The
greater part Of this money has been
paid by the people in the district who
believe in the great future of the region.
1t is only within the last three years
that any amount of money has been
put in here by the outside capital.

A person entrusted with the ballot
should at all times take an active, in
telligent interest in public affairs to the
end that good government may be
secured. There are lessons in the out
come Of the recent election to which
the people should give due heed. One
great lesson is, that the people must keep
an eve on those who would use country
and party for baeo ends. There is
danger Of honest men taking too little
interest in politics. When they slum
Der and sleep the champions Of Special
Interests get in their work, as they have
been doing for these many years. The
extent to which they have worked the
people can hardly be realized. The
revolt came none too soon. Long con
tinued robbery Of the people through
unjust duties on imposts has been in
itself enough to cause revolution.
Blind adherence 10 party has been the
cause Of much of the trouble. But
thank God, the blind are beginning to
see, and the legislative wrongs of the
past will never again be inflicted upon
the American people. And the reform
will come not as a party triumph.
Said DR.. Woodrow Wilson, governor
elect of New Jersey, in an address made
by him after the election:
THE thing that happened in New
Jersey was nothing unusual. The very
same thing was happening all over the
country, but the victories were not
party victories, but the triumph of
cause. The people of this country are
seeking new leaders to direct them, and
it is not the day of the leader who
would infame the minds of the people,
but that of the leader who seeks to
guide and lead the people by appealing
to their intelligence and Judgment. In
the years to come it is to the thought
full and enlightened men of the country
that the people will look for the solution
of problems that will arise from time
to time. America is calling her sons
to service, and America will be great
or small as she lives up to the spirit of
this year. If you could have seen the
audiences that [ faced during the cam
paign and watched the look of intense
interest on the faces of those men you
would realize that they took an interest
in the questions that were brought up
because those problems affected them
vitality. America longs for some one to
lead and direct. The people are no
longer willing to follow blindly in the
footsteps of men who have deceived
them"
Welcome the day when the thought !
full and enlightened men of the country
will lead in all political movements and
the people in general hold the guarding
of their liberties to be sacred duty. F
To watch as we'll as pray is as neces-
sary in the affairs of government as
anywhere else.

BALZAC'S TROUSERS.
What the Author Meant When He Told
the Tailor "No Feet"

the Tailor "No Feet"
In a village in the heart Of Touraine
there lives an old man whose pride it
is that he once had the honor of max
ing pair of trousers for BalZac. The
old tailor delights to tell of his meet
ing with the distinguished Frenchman.
When the tailor got to the chateau
where Balzac was staying he found
him in the garden at work on a novel.
He was so busy that the tailor waited
in silence. Many sheets of paper, COW
cred with fine writing, lay around him.
He would write a spell, then stare
wildly about, and then go at it again
as if he knew that world was wait
ing for his words.
After standing near and watching
the great man awhile the tailor at last
felt that he must interrupt BalZac in
order to get his measure for the trou-
sers. Balzac was extremely good ma
tured-smiled as the tailor measured
him, but spoke but once.
mo feet" said he as the tailor fin.
ished his measurements. Then he
turned to his work.
The worthy tailor had no idea at all
what this meant, but for some reason
he had not courage enough to inter-
rupt the novelist again to ask. How
ever, the tailor CHANGED to meet a
servant on his way out and of him in
quired what NJ. Balzac meant by mo
feet
"Oh," responded the servant IN.
Balzac wants his trousers made with
out any openings at the bottom so that
he can sit and write without having
to put on slippers. "-Harper's Weekly.

Hiding High Prices.

To prove that the new tariff has
not increased the cost of life's ne
cessitieS, Standpatters cite sched-
uleS in which the quoted prices Of
manufactured articles are the
same as before the Aldrich- Taft
law was passed. The absurdity O
this attempt to deceive consumers
is manifest.
1t is notorious that the textile
trust took heroic measures to keep
price quotations normal for this
season by making lighter weight
goods, and using poorer material.
Their example was followed by
foreign makers who exported to
this country a cheaper grade of
cotton stockings at the old prices.
The net result, of course, is that
the consumers must purchase NOR
frequently, because shOddy goods
wear out quickly.
Obviously, the aggregate cost o.
life'S necessities grows steadily as
articles bought deteriOrate in qua
ity.
This method of hiding high
prcies has been boldly justified by
eastern trust officials as legitimat
business.

judgement, that the saving will b
