WILL Sell RED
CROSS SEALS
Campaign To Open Thanksgiving
Day For Sale SedlS-Every-
One Should Buy.

A call for 1900 local campaign
managers to take charge of the sale
of Red Cross Christmas seals has
been issued by Otto F. Bradley, cam
paign manager of the Wisconsin Anti
Tuberculosis association. This con-
stitutes the opening gun of the 1914
seal campaign by which the assocIa,
tion will raise funds for continuing
the work which is now saving so
sumption and other preventable dis
eases.
Splendid recognition was given the
Wisconsin campaign by the Minnesota
State society in seeking to get the
Wisconsin Anti-Tuberculosis associa-
ton to take over the complete man
agement of the Minnesota sale. The
proposition came too late for us to
take over the entire campaign" said
Mr.. Bradley. We are giving them
advisory assistance, however. | have
just returned from two days in St
Paul consulting with the Minnesota
officers and planning campaign for
luSlu W GARRY out, anu arrangements
will probably be made for me to take
charge of both states next year for
the association
Nearly as many seals were sold in
Milwaukee as in the entire state of
Minnesota last year. Rural schools
in Wisconsin made a higher sale on
the average than villages of 500 popu-
lation in Minnesota
Thanksgiving Day has been set for
the opening of the sale and it will
close at Christmas. The sale will be
pushed upon purely business basis.
1t is urged that buying Christmas
Seals is the cheapest and best form
of life insurance. 1t furnishes protec-
ton against sickness rather than in
demnity after death. 1t can be shown
that unquestionably many lives have
already been saved through the work
supported by Christmas seals.
Those who are willing to help In

ERADlCATING AN EVIL

The farmer is slow in changing his
mind until it comes to the point of
saving a dollar. Every storekeeper
and dealer of the smaller cities and
towns, needs the farmers patronage.
If we do not bestir ourselves ana
keep at it, the time will come when
the farmer will give the mail order
be shown through logical arguments,
that it will be for the benefit of his
purse to patronage local houses.
When the farmers pocketbook is
hit through the increase of his taxes
and the depreciation in value of his
property, and when he is forced to
employ expensive and Improbable
ways in marketing his own products
which must come with the destruc-
ton of his own home market, he will
wake up. But in the meantime, what
is to become of you merchants.
Not only the merchants are effect
ed by the decline of trade, but the
banker the hotel man, the newspaper
publisher, the real estate and lnSur,
ance man, the lawyer, the doctor,
property owner, and each and every
citizen of the town, as we'll as the
merchant suffers.
The most effective way of convinc-
ing the farmer that every dollar sent
away by him to some mail order insti-
tuition will eventually work to his own
harm and detriment, is to present to
him the plain facts, month to month
by plain everyday language.
We appeal to our members as We'll
as to other business interests,
and professional men of our town,
for their assistance and cooperation,
as the time is here when something
practical and effective must be done
to protect home interest against
piracy in marketing such as is now
being employed by a system that con
tribute nothing towards the benefit of
any city, town or village in the coun-
try.
No retail merchant is justified in
making the claim that his business
and unfair competitor, because the
facts will not support such conten-
ton. The time to act is noW-don'
wait until conditions become worse,
and don't deceive yourselves with the
belief that conditions will improve II
the merchants do not wake up and de-
fend their rights and claims to the
business that justly and rightfully be
longs to them.
The best interests of every local
business establishment and individual
is jeopardized through the contraliza-
ton of the business of the country
The farmers patronage is valuable
and necessary to every local town
Without it local merchants cannot
prosper Help us to educate the
farmer along correct lines in buying
and you are certain of the return OF
his atronage.-Watertow Business

A LETTER FROM JUDGE
GRIMM ON THE WAR

A private letter written to the
Senior Editor of the Union by Judge
George Grimm of Jefferson contained
so much of true sentiment as to the
wickedness of war, and especially
this European war, that we have re-
quested permission to print the same
The letter follows here:
August 9th, 1914
My Dear Governor Il received
your favor of the 21st inst, also the
Outlook" and | thank you for both.
The writer of the article to which
you referred has given a good anal
ysis of the German character general
ly, and | agree with him largely
However, on the broad subject of the
cause of the present war, he after all,
alludes to but a phenomena of the
basic trouble
With what measure We mete it
shall be measured to you again.
Which side started it in the distant
past nobody knows, but at present
there is mutual hate and resentment
of which when means and occasion
are presented war is always the cul-
mination.
The originator of the saying "the
way to prevent war is to be prepared
for it" could not possibly have hit
farther from the truth. Where pre-
paredness for war has hatred for a
basis it's coming is but a matter of
time.
Let us go to the root of the
trouble. ST. Paul wrote "to whom We
yield yourselves servants to obey his
servants ye are to whom ye obey"
Hate is evil. War is probably it's
worst manifestation so far as man
kind is concerned. Preparing for war
is providing evil with machinery and
instruments. Indulge the sense of
hate and instill the spirit of war into
a nation and equip them for war, and
they are going to have it. Evil nour-
lshed grows it never stands still
its ultimate is annihilation, and when
it can eliminate in war with all it's
horrors it gets somewhere near it's
ultimate though it never reaches it.
War when reached embitters still
more, hate and lust for revenge are
stronger than before-because evil is
never conquered by force.
What a commentary it all is on So
called Christianity! Can men hate,
and kill and murder each other, and
be Christians? The Master Chris
tian gave only two laws to govern
man and these he declared to be CO.
equal, namely, first, '1ove God Good
above all things" and second, ''love
thy neighbor as thyself." No other
rule for freedom from all evil is
given unto man. Obedience to the
law Of love is the grand command
ment he left us. 1t is the only power
that is able to overcome evil in all it's
phases. Disobedience to that law is
the cause of war.
Yes, under the existing situation
war was inevitable; but may it open
the eyes of mankind to the fact that
the contending parties are reaping
what they have sown; and may man
kind learn that since war is evil, to
provide the means for war is to en-
courage if not inure it. Would that
mankind would at least strive to live
by the Golden Rule"
Sincerely yours,
George Grimm

FROM WORMS TO MAN

In 1865 France was suffering a loss
to it's silk industry of $20,0O0,O00 per
year as a result of a mysterious dis
ease of silk worms. Finally, in des.
peration, the authorities engaged
Louis Pasteur to learn the cause of
the disease and to eradicate it. BY
simple but comprehensive study and
work, he was able, in a single year.
to create a net profit of over $5,O00,-
600 on the sale of cocoons of one es-
tate, which, previous to his handling,
had not, met expenses.
As a result of readily appreciabIe
value of the scientific methods of his
investigation and handling, he was
given another and similar problem
to solve. Anthrax had become prev
alent amongst the cattle of France
and it was feared tha- unless it's
ravages could be checked and con-
trolled the disease might destroy
millions of dollars worth of valuable
property. By similar methods he
discovered the cause and means of
preventing the disease. That anthrax
amongst cattle has not Deen entirely
eradicated is due solely to the fact
that Pasteurs teaching is sometimes
and somewhat ignored.
In studying the cause of chicken
cholera, he accidentally discovered
a vaccine by means of which he could
prevent the disease. He extended
this to anthrax vaccination by pa
tient experimentation.
What was accomplished by Pateur
in the eradication of disease amongst
worms, cattle, and fowl, might be ac-
complished in the realm of human
disease were the money value of hui
man life better appreciated. Indeed,
| wonderful things are being accom-
plished; but not nearly so much as
might be.
While PaSteurs main efforts were
given to disease amongst animals,
one piece of work had far-reaching
consequences for man. 1t was his
study of rabies or madness of dogs
which led to the so-called Pasteur
treatment which is an absolute pre-
vention of death and disease amongst
human beings who have been bitten
| by mad dog.
In spite of the fact that Louis
Pasteur's work was responsible for
the saving of millions of dollars for
the people of France, he died a COM
paratively poor man. This Iact has
| been instanced by many "practicap
people to justify the commercializ-
alton of great scientific medical dis
coveries Certainly it is true that no
man who has served his fellows and
their business so well as Louis Pas
| teur did should ever want any of the
reasonable luXuries and comforts
which money could provide. Never,
! theless, it is doubtful If any great
financial genius has ever left to his
family greater heritage than was
left by Pasteur. Titles, land estates,
hosts of servants and other posses
sions Of wealth, would have been irk-
some to this great man. They would
have interfered with his work.
