Cranberry Crop May surpass 1918.

Word from both the eastern and
Wisconsin marshes is that, although
the 1914 crop of cranberries will be
larger than that of last year, owing to
unfavorable weather conditions there
will be much less than was expected
several weeks ago.
Commission men declare the Wis
consin crop will be fully 10000 bar.
rels larger this year. Reports show
than the Massachusetts crop is ex-
pected to be about the same, while
that of New Jersey will be about 25,
600 barrels larger.
There is no reason for the fall
prices in cranberries to rise" said
Henry Eilinghausen of the A. G.. Eiss.
Ter company. Last year early east.
ern cranberries were quoted at SIS a
barrel, rising to $3.50 during October
and November. With the larger crop
this year and taking into consideration
the lack of exporting facilities, the
prices should go lower"
That the unusually large crop of ap-
pies gathered throughout the United
States and Canada this year will have
a depressing effect ON the home can
ming" Of cranberries Is the belief of
commission merchants. There la a
marked falling off in the purchasing OF
fruit jars and cans. The high price OF
sugar is also consideration.

tertown business men that the road
toward Ixonia has been built This
road has been oiled during the last
few days.
Work on the road west Of this city
is also credited to this city, which
has its approaches within the city
limits paved with concrete.
Next year we shall take steps to
get the road completed to Ixonia, in
order to meet the improvement In
sured by the Oconomowoc people, y
said Max Kusel of Waterfowl "Also
we shall do our part in extending the
paving Of the lake to river road to
the westward"

NO law except the sword.


For autoGracy and militarism the
celebration OF Sedan Day yesterday
must have marked the pinnacle OF
human ecstasy.
That was the day to which the
war lords have looked forward for 4
generation. That was the day for
which all civilization has been laid
Under tribute. That was the day for
which corrupt diplomacy and lying
craftsmanship have been cunningly
nursing the old race hatrcds and fan
ming the cmbcrs of ancient feuds.
That was the day for which nation
after nation has been impOvcrishing
its peasants and its artisans to pro-
vide the necessary armament. That
was the day for which the subjects
of Kings and kaisers have been
taught to regard themselves as food
for cannon.
A glorious day for all who believe
lin war for wars sake. An especially
glorious day for the Divine right Of
Kings; for without this doctrine
there could have been no celebration.
IBut when the smoke OF the guns has
tclcarcd away it may mot seem so glo-
rious, especially to those rulers by
I"Divine right" upon whose hands
| tests the blood-guilt of the most de-
vastating war known to the history
l,of the human race.
