Willy JAPS BUY
ISLAND FROM
RUSSIAN BEAR
BIG GUNS EXCHANGED FOR RUSS
HALF OF ISLAND OF SAKHALIEN
TRADE WILL BENEFIT JAPAN
COMMERCIALLY WHILE RUSSIA
GAINS MILITARY ADVANTAGE
(By Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. 26.-Ofi-
cial adVices received today at the Jap
anese embassy here state that Russia
has ceded to Japan that half of the
Island of Sakhalien owned by the Car
and given the Russians under the
terms of the treaty of Portsmouth.
The consideration in the trade con-
sists of quantity of long-range artil-
lery rifles, badly needed by Russia at
this time, and other munitions of war.
The possession of this war material
will give the Russian forces in Poland
a splendid military advantage over
their opponents, and may turn the tide
of victory before Warsaw. The heavy
gums provided for in the exchange
have already been delivered to the
Russian authorities at the Manchurian
border. and are now on their way to
"g ~ i3f9t
Poland.
Distinct commercial advantage will
accrue to Japan through possession OF
the entire Island of Sakhalien, as
Russian and Japanese interests there
have been frequent cause Of irritation
in recent years.

(By Associated Press.)

(By Associated Press.)
LONDON, Dec. 26.-While Christmas
brought no cessation of military ac-
tivities in the European war, no decis
i've action occurred along either of the
great battle fronts during the holiday.
Early today witnessed no change of
policy by either of the bellegerents,
the Allies offensive in the west con-
tinuing and the British censor with
holding all details of events in that
quarter.
At home the British people celebrat-
ed Christmas quietly, the day being
marked by many religious services.
At London hospitals where wounded
soldiers are convalescent, thousands of
gifts were distributed, and in the
continental trenches Tommy Atkins
was not forgotten. Millions of pack
ages were distributed by officers to
the men at the front, Notwithstanding
the vigorous offensive movement being
pursued in France and Belgium.
Russians Capture 11,0O0 Prisoners
Petrograd advices early today state
Russian forces have assumed the of
fensive in Poland again and on yes
terday eleven thousand Germans were
taken prisoners. In East Prussia the
Russians are forcing the fighting and
in the region about the Carapthians
they have met with successes. Yester-
days fighting, however, did not con-
stitute any pitched battle, and is con-
sidered here as of little military i'm
portance.
Berlin advices contradict Petrograd
dispatches by claiming all is quiet
along the Polish front and that mill
tary operations there have been great
ly impeded, if not actually made i'm
possible by the intense cold prevail
ing in that region. Won Hindenberg
maintains his hold on the Vistula
country, says Berlin.
U. s. Cruiser Threatens Turks.
Athens dispatches today tell of the
alleged refusal of Turkish authorities
to permit the departure of the British
and French consuls, accompanied by
citizens of those countries from Tri-
oil. The officials mentioned sought
to leave aboard on American mer-
chant steamer, under convoy of a
United States cruiser. Crowds of Turks
attacks the crew of merchantmen,
shortly before the departure of that
vessel and for time serious trouble
was threatened
On learning that the American sail
ors had been attacked by a mob the
United States naval commander in
formed the authorities that he would
lombard the port unless the Grey
was protected from further insults
This declaration had immediate effect
and shortly afterward the merchant
man with its passengers aboard 2ieft
the port, being escorted to a point
north of the Dardanelles by the war
ship. 3 :on ss"h

The stars incline but do not compel

This is a lucky day, according to
astrology. and they who wait until
evening for matters of Importance
| should succeed in whatever they de-
sire TO accomplish, for then both the
sun and Neptune promise friendly aid.
In the configura ton Uranus is mildly
adverse.
The aspect is most encouraging for
those who seek employment or plan
progress in their work. After sun
down they should be able to enlist
the interest of persons who hold
places Of power and therefore are able
to offer positions or opportunities for
advancement.
Political aspirants should make the
most of this days beneflc influences,
which are believed to be particularly
favorable for dealing with govern
ment officials.
1t is held that gentlemen who prac-
tise courtly customs and hold high
ideals benefit exceedingly from the
stars when posted as they arc today
There is a favorable omen for
priests and all church dignitaries.
Likewise manufacturers and sellers
OF religious images should benefit.
There is happy omen for journeys
by water, although storms may be
encountered within few days.
The good aspects OF Neptune l1cllHc
to success all who deal in things IN

augury is encouraging for new the
atrical ventures.
Increase In disease is foreshadowed
and care should be taken to protect
the health A severe storm Will
cause much suffering.
An earthquake near the Isthmus Of
Tehuantepcc is predicted. Seismic
disturbances will cause much scien-
tific discussion and New York may
have reason to be especially inter
ested.
IT is prophesied that increase OF i'm

change in the liberal attitude Of
women toward extreme freedom in
dress and conversation.
An accident to a famous American
traveller is indicated. 1t will be
serious and will take place in a for

URGES STAMPING
OUT OF TYPHOID
HEALTH CONVENTION AT MApl.
SON HEARS WARNING AGAINST
FILTH DISEASE.
BETTER RECORDS ARE ASKED
Federal Health Service Expert Tells
of Spread of Dreaded Eye Dis
ease Among Indians Of
State.

Madison,-"We must quit talking
about residual typhoid death rate and
reduce it to nought. Remember that
it is a disgrace to any place to have
typhoid, as it is a disease of filth. Now
it is up to us to get busy; to use 1914
methods in Kidding the state of this
disease"
This was the admonition of DR.. F..
Johnson of Eau Claire in his address
on Typhoid Infection" at the state
health officers conference.
Among other means OF prevention,
he advocated the pasteurization OF
milk.
The necessity of a complete record
Of communicable disease was advo-
Gated by L. W. Hutchcroft, statistician
for the state board of health.
THE milk supply of a community is
of first Importance said Mr.. Hutch
croft. MANY infants and young chill
dren have no other food supply, there
fore it is of vital importance. The
health officer should make a thorough
inspection of every dairy at least once
a year"
DR.. A. ]. Chesley of the Minnesota
state board of health said that every
effort should be made by health Off
GERS to locate the source of every COM
municable disease. Only by this meth
Il M
disease be checked. He said that too
much attention was given to environ
= ent, when an outbreak occurred, and
that more attention should be given
to the individual. The paper was dis
cussed by Dr. w. c. Bennett of Rhine
lander and Dr. l.. +. Spencer OF Wau-
sau.
A paper on Duties and Effect of a
Full Time Health officer" was read by
DR.. ]. j. McShane of Kenosha. He de-
clared that the reason many of the
hospitals are crowded with foreigners
is that these people are ignorant of
the rules Of health.
Surgeon Taliaferro Clark of the
United States health service, spoke on
the spread of trachoma, an almost in
durable and contagious disease, among
the Indians of Wisconsin and Mime
sofa and among the mountaineers of
Kentucky, Virginia and West Virginia.
In Wisconsin, out of 1893 Indians on
reservations examined, the disease
was discovered in 207 cases, or Csc
per cent, declared DR.. Clark. This
examination of the Indians of Wiscon-
sin was made personally by DR.. Clark
He said that he found Indians off the
reservations scattered in fifteen diff
ferent counties of this state suffering
with the disease.

TIMELY WARNING
TO HOG BREEDERS
Occasional Appearance Of lnfec-
tious Abortion Among Swine
in Northwest.

iBy NJ. II. REYNOLDS. Veterinarian.
Minnesota Experiment Statlon)
Cases have been reported from two
different breeders which suggest the
occasional appearance of infectious
abortion among swine in the North
west. Evidently It is quite rare, but
may easily spread If 1t exists. as sus-
pected. One man reports the purchase
at a certain fair Of fall yearling gilt.
The SOW was bred, but lost her pigs
after about six weeks She vas bred
again and aborted again in similar
period
About six OF this mans older and
better brood sows developed the same
trouble. He believed that the older
sows were infected from the boar that
had previously served the young SOW.
The other breeder reported a some
what similar experience. This item is
published with a view to putting
breeders on their guard against pos
sible source OF trouble.

New Richmond.-A new industry
that will mean much to this city is
about to begin operations. 1t is the
Trap Rock Crushing company located
Just a mile north Of the village on a
trap rock cliff famous all through this
region. Experts who have examined
the property report there is an almost
inexhaustible supply of the material
there
A rock crusher has been installed, a
steam shovel is in readiness to begin
operations, three steam drills are at
work, and already a big crew is en-
ployed.
The company has contract to fur
nish the 500 line with twenty cars Of
this crushed rock daily. The coarser
rock will be used for ballasting the
roadbed and the finer rock for finish
ing. The material will also be used
extensively in highway construction.

SECURE PROFIT IN
HANDLING RUNT PIGS
Little Fellows Never Have Chance
When Allowed to Run With
the Herd.
By WALTER Il. LEUTZ)

Some runts are naturally Weddings
while others are the result OF injuries
or underfeeding The poor feeder will
have more runts In his herd than the
good feeder-no question about that
We always place ours In lot or
field by themselves whore they will
have good pasture ana a chance to
eat their meals without being knocked
and jostled around by their larger
mates. The poor things never have
half chance when allowed to run
with the herd and the chances are
they will never pay for the feed they
consume.
BY separating them, however, and
giving these runts some special care
they ought to return some profit.
Ground grain mixed into a thick
slop with milk is what the runts need
instead Of an exclusive diet OF ear
corn. Then keep them free from lice
and provide them with warm shelter
so that all the profit will not be chilled
out Of them by damp or cold weather

WISCONSIN CROPS ARE BIG
Badger State Large Contributor to
Yield of Country, Which Will
Be Largest in History.

Madison.-A Washington dispatch
says: Wisconsin contributes largely
to the plentiful crops of the country,
which are the greatest in history, sc-
cording to the agricultural report to
be published Saturday Wisconsin
crops are 1917 per cent of the aver
age which is much higher than the
neighboring states. The Wisconsin
corn crop is estimated at 103 per cent
OF last year, with 100000 acres sown
and the condition rated at 90 whereas
it was SO in 1913. The department
estimates the state yield of wheat to
be G270o, GOO bushels with the esti-
mated price at Ga cents. The winter
wheat forecast is 1,77S,0O0 bushels;
spring wheat, 100000 bushels, both
being a big increase.
