MADISON, Dec. 1.-Several resi-
dents of this section recently received
letters from Ireland, in which their
correspondents state that England is
now drafting residents of Ireland into
the army. The men have not yet been
sent to the front, but they were taken
from their homes and forced to lead
soldiers lives, drilling and making
ready for participation in the great
conflict now being waged in Europe,
Policemen, both regular and special,
are the agents of the king in this in
stance. They pass from town to town,
visiting each house and stipulating
who shall report for drill work and
who shall be allowed to remain in the
home. In any case, there Is only one
man allowed to each household, no
matter what his age or the amount of
work there is to be performed on the
small farms,
Mothers and fathers, 1t is stated, In
many instances begged for their one
remaining son to be left them, but
without avail. Circumstances do not
alter the London governments iron
bound regulation that there shall be
only one man left to each house.
Those concerned are bearing the bur-
den of this most bravely. There Is no
violent outburst against England.
Those who remain are accepting an
unalterable condition with fortitude
they know Of, but down in his heart
the Irishman feels that he Is hope
lessly lowered in this case, as well as
some others he remembers.
Old and feeble men, who have been
for many years taken care of by their
sons, the letters say, now have to
leave their hearthsides and go forth
to thresh oats and attend to the cows,
sheep, chickens and other stock on
their farms. They have to do this or
starve.
One of the most wholly descriptive
letters was received from Kelvin
O'Neill by his sister, Mrs. Patrick

FARMER MUST GET FAIR REWARD
Wisconsin Governor Urges Bigger
Crops to Cut Living Cost.


Oshkosh, Wis.-Discussing causes
Of the high cost Of living in an ad-
dress before the Candlelight Club,
Gov. Francis E. McGovern Of Wiscon-
sin declared that the cityward drift
of population constituted the most
menacing tendency now operative in
American life.
THE only way in which the cost Of
living can be reduced" said Governor
McGovern, is by increasing the sup
ply of the necessities Of life and this
supply in turn can be kept up only by
properly rewarding the producer.
There is no reason why, with better
distribution Of food products, the farm
er may not receive more for what he
, has to sell and the consumer at the
same time pay less for what he buys"
Governor McGovern said the wide
difference between what the producer
'eceives and the consumer pays rep

PRODUCTION OF COAL MINES.
Estimate by Geological Survey Indi.
Gates Increase In Most States.

Washington.-EXc in Colorado,
the production Of coal in the Rocky
Mountain states in 1919 showed a
healthy increase, according to esti-
mates by Edward W. Parker, OF the
United States Geological Survey. On
account of the strike in the Colorado
fields, called Sept. 16 and put into
effect Sept. 23, the production for the
remainder of the year was from so to
co per cent OF the normal. and the ul-
innate effect upon the industry of the
state was reduction in the annual
total OF approximately 100000 tons
compared with 1912, when 10,977,S2
short tons We're mined.
In New Mexico the production was
slightly in excess of the 3,536,S24 tons
produced in 1912, and it would have
been considerably greater but for the
disastrous explosion in October which
wrecked one Of the Stag Canon Fuel
Company's mines at Dawson and re-
suited in the loss of 2G3 lives and in
a decreased output.
