.Mutt and Jeff in Mexico

"Mutt and jeff In Mexico.
Mutt and Jeff in Mexico is the
title Of the third edition of Bud Fish
er's cartoon comedy, produced In mus
ical comedy form by Gus Hill, who
has signified his intention to offer an
entire new play each successive sea-
son. 1t is unlikely that any theatri-
cal production in the history OF the
American stage has enjoyed success
both artistic and financial equal to
that which has been continuous since
the premier presentation of the play
more than three years ago. Tired

thought or worry as to its artistic
origin. II play or its actors are
able to extract incessant laughter
from an audience naturally disposed

Ask We what word of cheer
Hath England's much to send,
The eve Of this new year
To Britain's free-born folk?
Vain words are vain to spend
We shout the battle cry:
\ Her dearest children die,
For all that we hold dear;
Yet thus the mother spoke.
Ocean that seemed so wide &
When first We crossed its flood,
1t threatened to divide
Even the bond of blood.
See how Its shrunken hath
Into pleasure path,
While DER and underneath
The light words of my breath
Flash kindly to your heart.
Oh. well, We hear, We see.
And our hopes are as one
For peace and liberty
or all men meath the sun;
For the grace Of mans art
And the love of our own kind,
So this years wishes be.
Hand in hand, mind with mind,
That we stand till we quell
And in straight limits bind
: Wars rage the storm of hell

FIRES DUE TO CARELESSNESS

The greater part of the annual fire
waste in the United States, amount
ing to nearly $25O,OOO,O0O year. is
due to carelessness. Much of this is
personal, for which property owners
are directly responsible, and much is
municipal, through the liberation by
the authorities of dangerously inflam-
mable construction, laXity in the en-
forcement of building ordinances and
the regulation of explosives and in
flammables, failure to insist upon
rubbish being cleaned up, etc. The
average citizen should have i'm
pressed upon him his personal re-
sponsibility for his share of the pre-
ventable fire waste of the country,
which is draining the national wealth.
Every man can at least see that pa
per, old boxes and rubbish are not
allowed to accumulate in dangerous
places or out-of- the-Way corners, and
can keep all eye OH his lighting and
heating appliances. If these alone are
attended to properly nearly half the
fires could be prevented. In foreign
countries the owner of property is
made responsible for fires original
ing on his premises and can be held
for damages done the property of his
neighbors. American independence
may not yet be ready for such a de-
gree of regulation, but it's necessity
could be avoided if each citizen
would feel his personal responsibility
without waiting for a law to enforce

Short Course Men Encourage BACK
To Farm" Movement

1t is estimated that between 80
and 80 per cent of the $50 young
men graduating this week from the
Short Course in Agriculture at the
University of Wisconsin will return
to the farms of this state to actual
ly engage in farming.
The successes of former students
as dairymen, stock raisers, poultry
men, orchardists, grain growers and
market gardeners are yearly attract
ing an increased number to this
practical farmers course 1t has
grown from 10 students in one room
on the third floor of an old building
in 1885 to include $50 young men
from IS counties of the state, from
eleven other states and two foreign
countries in 1913.
Besides obtaining practical train
ing in general agriculture, the young
men graduating this week have &C
quired considerable information up
on special lines of farming which
they expect to pudsue.
In addition to the knowledge ac-
quired they have developed a love
for the farm and farm life. Almost
without exception they have ex-
pressed a desire and determination
to earn, buy, or heW out farm in
this or some other state where con-
ditions are similar. That this deter
mination is not the mere expression
Of a boyish wish is evidenced by
the fact that upon every agricultural
board or organization in this state
and in every important agricultural
movement carried on in Wisconsin,
the Short Course is well represented
by graduates, now prominent, re-
spected and prosperous in their chos-
en- lines of farming.
Of the graduates from this course,
the following are from Rusk county
this year: B. J. Marley, Ladysmith;
W. J. Nichols, town of Rusk.

Wisconcin's Prize Crops

Wisconsin had the worlds best eX-
hibit of butter at the international
agricultural exhibition at Dallas,
Texas. Wisconsin exhibitors also
took prizes in corn, soy beans, wheat,
buck wheat, alsike and rye.
The astonishing thing is that Wis
consin, a northern state, has such
extraordinary excellence and variety
of farm products. Iowa, Illinois and
Missouri are far famed for corn
yields but the cold Badger state
outranks all these favored warm
states in corn quality and the Off
cial statistics of the department of
agriculture give Wisconsin the high
est corn yield per acre in the union.
The far west has been noted for
alsike, but Wisconsin carries off the
banner prizes of the world. Rye and
barley are raised in many states
but in none have these grains
reached such excellence as in Wis
COHSlU~ Inc DdkOLdS, Mlul0SOld anu
Canada, Kansas and Nebraska are
the great wheat spots of the CONT
nent, but Wisconsin takes honors
even in this field of agriculture.
Wisconsin's high rank in farm pro-
ducts is no doubt due in a measure
to rich soils, equable climate, album
dant rainfall and all the bounties of
nature, but much is also due to the
fact that Wisconsin entered the field
of scientific agriculture early through
the college of agriculture and has as
siduously spread valuable instruction
