Protein liz Dairy Ration.

The farm-dairy ration without Glow

roots or ensilage it lacks succulence.
Oil meal furnishes both in the cheap

protein in oil meal is cheaper at $50
a ton for the oil meal than in corn az

money was drawn for the job, but
that no road was built.
The correspondent asks us to pub
lish his communication, which we

tiate his statements. We seldom
make any reply to unsigned communi
cations, but the allegations made by

1t was for this reason more than
any other that l rode down into the
Valley of the Moon, all ajingle, and
voted for equal suffrage. 1 voted that
women might vote, because l knew
that they, the wives and mothers Of
the race, would vote John Barley
corn out of existence and back into
the historical limbo of our vanished
customs of savagery. If | thus seem
to cry out as one hurt, please remem-
Der that I have been sorely bruised,
and that l do dislike the thought that
any son or daughter of mine or yours
should be similarly bruised.
The women know. They have paid
an incalculable price of sweat and
tears for mans use of alcohol. Ever
jealous for the race, they will legis
late for the babes of boys yet to be
for they must be the mothers,
wives and sisters of these boys.
And it will be easy The only ones
that will be hurt will be the topers
and seasoned drinkers of a single
generation. l am one of these; and
| make solemn assurance, based up
on long traffic with John Barleycorn,
that it wont hurt me very much to
stop drinking when no one else
drinks and when no drink is obtain
able. On the other hand, the over
whelming proportion of young. men
are so normally non-alcoholic that
never having had access to alcohol,
they will never miss it, They will
know of the saloon only in the pages
of history, and they will think of the
saloon as a quaint old custom similar
to bull-baiting and the burning of
witches. Jack London in Saturday

And like such a survivor of old red

stop 1.-THE way to stop drinking is
to stop it. The way China stopped
the general use of opium was by
stopping the cultivation and importa-
ton of opium. The philosophers,

have preached themselves GREATNESS

that form of marriage gets to be the

corollary will be to make divorce

Rusk County journal Says Commits
sioners Do Nothing to Earn Pay

Ladysmith is one of the few Wis
consin cities under commission form
of government Read what the Rusk
County Journal of that city has to
say of the system 1t is worth con-
sidering before casting your vote:
Our present commission system
doesn't go far enough. The three
counciImen should be paid salaries
that would compensate for their full
time then one should act as city
clerk, another as treasurer and an
other as superintendent of streets
or chief of police. They should have
duties that would keep them on the
job all the time. Do you think a pr-
vate corporation would be foolish
enough to appoint three men to su-
pervise the expenditure of $4,000
per year and allow them to spend
their time in running their private
business? Not on your life. When a
railroad company hires man it pays
him for his whole time and then
sees to it that he gives his full time.
Public business will never be prop
erly conducted until common sense
business principles are applied"
Between the New North and the
Journal a very incorrect impression
is given that the commission form of
Ladysmith while the opposite is true,
and we believe a great majority of
the citizens of Ladysmith are we'll
satisfied with results since the
change. 1t is no doubt true that with
poor men in office they might have
more opportunity to do harm under
the commission system, but under the
new form it is easier to get good men
to try for the offices and it is cas-
Ter to select one good man each year
than bunch. The public is protected
against the longer tenure of office by
the recall
The point raised by the Journal
about hiring men for their full time
would be all right in a much larger
city, but it would kill the system in
a city like Ladysmith or even con-
siderably larger because the matter
of expense, even as raised by the
New North, would initiate against it.
1t would take $1,000 to 81 800 year
each to get capable men to de-
vote all their time to the work. A
better plan than that would be to
hire city manager, pay him a reas-
enable salary for full time, then pro-
vide a treasurer and a clerk paid for
part time as at present the three
constituting city council Even
that would be far more expensive
than the present system, under which
we are getting better results than
under the old and more cumbersome
plan.
