POTATOES WILL BE
POTATOES THIS YEAR
The Latest Government Figures
Show Shortage of Nearly
100000, 900 Bushels

This will be year when the far
mers of Wisconsin will reap a har-
vest from their potato crop. Many
a settler in the northern counties,
where the crop is especially good,
will get enough from one acre to pay
for several acres and the clearing.
The shortage this year is espec-
tally in the middle western states
that constitute Wisconsin's chief po-
tato market.
We are making great headway in
Wisconsin-especially in the northern
counties-in the improvement of the
yield and quality of our potatoes.
Potato growing will always be a
profitable crop when properly grown
in this state.

A Correction

In speaking of the case of the
town of Gordon VS.. John and Henry
Fleishbein and the Glidden State
Bank, in our article on the present
term of court published last week,
the News Budget enormously stated
that it was a former town treasurer
who had misappropriated funds OF
the town of Gordon and who made
his escape when his crookedness was
discovered. 1t seems it was the chair
man who is alleged to have misap-
propriated the funds, instead of the
treasurer, and we are in receipt or
the following correction from the
editor of the Glidden Enterprise in
regard to the matter.
"The News Budget evidently was
miSinformed as to the details OF the
case which has aroused statewide
attention. In this instance it was
the chairman of the Town of Gordon,
who in that capacity attended to all
pecuniary affairs of the town, and
who was charged with misapproprlat-
ing the funds, for which distinct ac-
ton was taken against him. This
action against the chairman went to
Judgment through default and his
property was attached. The defend
ants in the above mentioned action
are being sued for approximately
$13. 900 the proceeds of bonds, notes,
orders and interest orders, which is
alleged the defendants still owe the
town and for which no receipt of pro-
ceeds can be found by the town Of
ficers."

BAPTIST STATE CONVENTION
Very Interesting Sessions Were Held
at Eau Claire Last Week

There are 22S Baptist churches in
Wisconsin These different churches
are absolutely independent of each
other, each church is congregational,
that is, it governs itself, calls it's
own pastor, attends to its own fl
nances, co-operates as it wishes with
larger denominational missionary and
educational interests.
These 22S churches have voluntar-
ily joined together in forming thir-
teen associations within the state
and one state convention These lar
ger bodies have no control at all
over the local church No local
church need cooperate unless it
wishes and actually does cooperate
just as far as it wishes. The asso-
citation and convention meet annual
ly. The convention meet in Octo-
Der, the associations during the four
preceding months.
This year the State Conventin met
in the beautiful new building of the
First Baptist church at Eau Claire.
About 215 registered delegates and
visitors were present Free entertain
ment was furnished except lunch
and dinner, which were served in
the First Congregational church very
9cceptably. The Lake st. Methodist
church was used for conferences,
committees and banquets. During the
convention, generous automobile own
ers provided about IT'S cars in which
We had a free tour of the city and
surrounding country.
The convention met at 7:45 p. m.
Monday, Oct IS, and closed Thurs
day evening, Oct. 16. 1t was well
coined very cordially by Mayor Flem-
ing. Many inspiring and instructive
addresses We're given by DR.. H. G.
Beeman, of ST. Paul, DR.. w. D. Pow
ell, of Louisville, KY, DR.. J. III. Frank
lin, of Boston, Mass. The work Of
the Baptists in this state was thor
oughly discussed in several addresses
by our own pastors and workers as
we'll as in open conference. The re-
ports showed considerable increase
along many lines during the past
year. A very aggressive work is be-
ing done among many Of our foreign
ers. Nearly $4,000 was expended
within the state for strictly mission
ary work, establishing new work,
helping needy fields to erect build
ings and support pastors, and sup
porting several general workers for
the entire state.
The convention was full of earnest
thought and plans for the Kingdom
of Cod All who attended were great
ly benefited From the Ladysmith
church, Mrs Mather and Rev. Guy
L. Prather attended; from the Glen
Flora church, Chas. Golden, j. M.
Nelson, Misses Della Nelson and
Esther Gustafson.

Give Us Some Facts

Feeling that denunciatiOn of the
Journal for 'flaring headlines ii
rade of abuse" and extravagant eX-
coriations" has gone about far
enough in general terms, and that
the public would be interested in hav-
ing some facts from the defenders Of
the lighting contract, | request the
News-Budget to give the following
information:
If the Journal has abused anybody,
please point out the language that
can be so construed.
The Journal has raised the fol-
lowing specific objections to the
new contract:
l. The city derives no benefit
from it, secures nothing but what
it is entitled to under the law.
2. The city is tied up for five
years to type of street light not
in common use. while the lighting
company is Civ the option to
change at any time to any other
light equally good"
g. The lighting company is grant
ed the privilege of cutting off street
lights at any time it sees fit, with
out incurring any penalty.
L. The only way provided for re
quiring the furnishing Of light on
cloudy nights when there is a moon
is by formal action of the council.
| 5. Mayor Thompson made spec
ific promise to submit all important
questions to a vote of the people
why this exception?
I would very much appreciate
specific answer to at least some O.
these objections before the Journa
is further denounced for a campaign
/. of abuse

WE JOIN with the rank and file of the workers of
Wheeling hoping that the president Of the Ohio Valley

could only from whose heart and mind not
unreservedly with the working class.
To condemn ''Mother" Jones sounds flippant in one
whose experience is limited and whose conception is
vague that it brings forth admission that he does
not know what to suggest" Mother Jones has given
half century Of her life to the uplft of the workers
While most Labor Headers have been stopping at the
best hotels riding in paror cars and drawing full sal
airy and expenses she has been trampg through creeks
eating fare riding hand cars and stretching her
tired old body at night in the poor shanty Of whatever
miners family she happened to be nearest Most of the
time she has been without pay and when she has been
salary she has given all of to the wretched men and
and children suffering under the stress of STRIKE
That her methods do not suit the fastidousness of
the paror Labor eader is to be expected but tactics
matter be threshed in the councils of the organ
but dragged out before the public in the
press of the enemies of Labor IF Mother Jones has
been employed by the International Executive Commit
tee of the United Mine Workers Of America it is reason
able to presume that these know their business bet
ter than utterly without first hand knowledge
of the particular situation of the characteristics of the
workers who must be reached by agitation.
Again, it is brutal to make public an attack upon
this aged when she is manacled in jail now, on
trial for her life before the courts that shown to be
under the control Of the coal barons whom she has Of
