BelOit Was Too Strong.

The opening game of the football
season was played at the Driving Park
Saturday afternoon with Beloit high
school instead of Cambridge as was in
tended, and the visitors were so we'll
trained that they secured an easy vic
tory over the Edgerton high school
team by score of Is to 0. The game,
however, proved that Edgerton has a
lineup this season that viii eventually
make formidable team. The mem
bers have size and weight and only
need practice and intelligent team work
to put them in the winning class.
Where Beloit excelled them most was
in the tricks of the game which our
boys have not yet acquired and train
ing will do this. There is already a
good deal of local interest developed
towards building up strong team.
Something like 500 has been subscrib-
ed by business men for securing new
suits for the team and helping defray
the expenses of the season. A game
is scheduled to be played at Stoughton
next Saturday with their high school
team that was defeated at GAINESVILLE
last week.

Urges Winter Wheat for Wisconsin
Farmers.

In order to renew interest in winter
wheat growing in Wisconsin, well bred
seed wheat is being distributed to the
farmers from three hundred centers in
the state by the department of agron-
omy OF the University of Wisconsin.
The general plans followed FOR growing
pedigree grains of other kinds are be-
ing used for wheat. Each farmer is
being furnished with about one and a
half bushels of seed wheat which he
plants ON an acre and the produce of
which he sells for seed the following
season. About 200 bushels of seed
wheat will be distributed this season.
The most successful variety has been
the Belle Gloena. The first seed wheat
was sent out year ago.
Winter wheat now yields from 80 to
35 bushels per acre in Wisconsin. In
the early days of the state plenty of
wheat was grown, but with reduced
yields and inroads of insect pests wheat
cultivation gradually declined. Spring
wheat can also be grown successfully
in the state. In fact, about two-t thirds
of the wheat now grown in Wisconsin
is spring wheat, but winter varieties
are good yielders and are to be recon-
mended

took place. Louis Sondheimer sold up
wards of 400 cases to G. Falk & Bro. !,
but the price has not been made public
In ordinary seasons the crop would
all be safely housed in the barn by the
middle of September, but. this not be-
ing season of the ordinary kind, the
weather came at time when the crop
was just ready for cutting, when it
could have been put away in the barn
not, for a great deal has developed the
dreadful rust which will very material
ly lessen the value of the tobacco so
damaged. The growers the past week
put forth every effort to get their crops
ia the shed. Many of them, fearful of
frost, cut and scaffolded in the field
until their cutting was done, as the
frost does not harm tobacco that has
been cut. The bulk of the crop stand
ing a week ago has been put away.
Yet there will be tobacco in the field
by the end of the month, though not a
great deal. 1t is now admitted that
this is the greatest crop ever raised in
Lancaster, county, the acreage and
weight per acre being greater than
last year even.
That only few crops were sold on
the field this year is due to two things,
the failure Of the big concerns to make
a raid, and the inability of the local
packers to buy another crop with prac-
tically two packings on hand. 1t is all
guesswork to say what the new crop
will sell at. It is easier to say what
the growers want, and it is safe to say
they will not get all they want, but it
may be put down as certain that buy
ing will not start under 10 cents

Conservation OverdOne.

Seattle is suffering from an indus
trial depression which has driven out of
employment thousands of wage earn
ers A number of other Pacific coast
cities are suffering from a similar af-
Fiction. They have the initiative, ref
erendum and recall, but all three fail
to produce bread. They have all kinds
of progressive" legislation, and if the
supply is not large enough they have
excellent facilities for creating more.
And yet men can not get work. How
impotent are human contrivances for
the ameIioration of the wage earner's
condition. Before the advent of ultra
conservation there was something do
ing all the time in Alaska Seattle was
the entry port for Alaskan trade, the
place where miners loaded up for sum-
mer and deposited in winter. 1t shipped
tools, implements and supplies to the
gold fields of our northern possession.
It's prosperity was so closely allied with
that of Alaska that what adversely
affected the one Immediately manifest
ed itself in the other. Alaska is rich
in minerals, but it needs capital to de-
velop them. Her resources have at
tanned in the public mind value wholly
disproportionate to their true value
when their accessibility is taken into
consideration. Coal is there in album
dance, but it belongs to Uncle Sam
and he will neither mine it himself nor
let any of his subjects mine it. Alas
kans are forced to buy coal from Aus
tralia, China and Japan while they stub
their toes on Uncle Sans coal which
crops out of ground almost in their
door yard. Nobody dares to touch a
chunk of this coal. 1t is sacred, sacred
to the great cause of conservation, the
tenderly guarded offspring of the twen-
tieth century delusion. Alaska is a
iobless country, squatted on noun
tain of wealth which to touch means
treason to the fantasy of conservation,
a nacreous dream of a paupered illu-
sionist bent on posing as benefactor
to our progeny of a thousand years
hence. 1t has wood, gold, coal and
other products. 1t is a cold country
needing fuel all the year around. And
the conservationist don't let industry
have a bod full, although its abundance
is we'll established. Alaska is inert
because it cannot use it's own resources
Seattle is a commercial dependency,
and must of necessity suffer with Alas.
ka, and the whole country must suffer
simply because few high grade, pedi
greed theorists have succeeded in con
Vincing the people that the only way
they can protect the people of A. D
$4,000 from freezing is by freezing
themselves and saving fuel. Seattle
and many of the other western coas
cities are reaping what they have
sown. They cried for all brands of re
form and they got them; now they arr

get. -Stoughton Courier-Hub.

THE Canadians have sent back our
gift horse. After looking it hard in
the mouth they were unable to find any
bad teeth, showing age or decrepitude.
From the Canadian point of view the
animal must have looked tempting,
Throwing open a >market holding over
100000 people to country which is
every year producing larger surplus
of fOodstuffs is such an event as does
not happen oftener than once in a mil
lennium of years. And the Canuck
knows good thing when he sees it.
Yet, after hard looking in the mouth
of our gift horse, hard hitting of it in
the ribs for signs of heaves or wind
brokenness, and putting it through
hard PAGES over long course, and
after it has met the test without show
ing blemish, he sends it back, with
out thanks.

THERE is food for thought in Presi-
dent Taft's Waterloo speech which was
an appeal to check the unjust prejudice
against business enterprises OF the
country. He deplored the tendency to
sectional vindictiveness, and said 1--WE
are all tossed by the same waves. - He
said he would enforce the existing laws
which he believed were adequate, but
advised only helpful legislation in fu-
ture. He said that blind anger against
the tariff because it was excessive is
dangerous, and that the public interest
demanded the adoption of a scientific
currency system.

THE tax commission as now organized
seems to be out for every dollar that
can be squeezed out of the people. The
city of GAINESVILLE is to be hauled over
the Goals reassessed by outsiders to
see if anything has escaped the lynx
eyed local assessors. And what for!
It is suspected that people or corpora
tons are not paying on their full val
uation. A mere supposition is enough
to set the expert machinery OF the
commission at work and the city must
eventually put up for the reassessment.

BECAUSE of the high cost of living in
Germany the government has decided
to cut in half the freight rates on po-
tatoes, fresh vegetables, corn, fodder
and grain and to reduce materially the
rate on sea fish. If this reduction in
rates causes a large deficiency in the
operation of the railroads, the people
who are now getting the advantages
of these reduced rates will havo to pro-
vide for this deficiency through increas-
ed general taxes, as the railroads of

Headache Powders.

Dr. Harvey w. Wiley, chief chemist
of the department of agriculture, states
that t|The number of deaths from the
use of headache powder is steadily in
creasing in this country. Hardly day
passes that do not receive from some
part of the country the report of a
death from taking headache powder.
Every such preparation sold contains
large quantities of either a"etanelid,
phenacetin, antipyrin or caffeln, all of
which affect the heart more or less.
No physician would think of prescrib-
ing more than one or two grains of
these drugs, but the headache powders
contain from four to six grains. Many
people afflicted with headache get ac-
customed to taking these powders for
relief. If | had my way the sale of
these powders would be prohibited.
They are poisonous to person with a
weak heart and are likely to result in
death at any time. Most of these
powders are sold with instructions to
take second dose in case relief is not
immediate. No physician would give
such drugs with these instructions. ?
