In assuming the task Of statewide
campaign for funds, food and cloth
ing for the starving war sufferers of
Belgium, the Wisconsin Advance
ment association makes an appeal to
the bankers. the mayors, the clergy
and the people of the state in general
to come forward and put Wisconsin to
the front.
We know that something is being
done, but is enough being done? Ger
tainly not unless every man and wom-
an in this great state is active in this
matter 1t should be a general effort
mot one by few communities. Let
all the people respond.
One community has announcedt that
it viii contribute carload of corn. A
single carload, although a splendid
tribute by a single community, is but
a start. Assuming that half Of the
people Of Belgium are suffering land
there are more than that a carload of
corn would mean hundredth of a
pound for each one. 1t is only by such
calculations that we can measure, as
far as can be measured, the vastness
Of the emergency that confronts the
civilized world at this time.
If however, each of the corn com
munities of Wisconsin will come for
ward with a carload, a showing will
be made Of which we can all be proud.
Iowa has proposed carload OF corn
per county, let Wisconsin come for
ward with a carload per community.
There are many counties where two
boxes Of cheese per factory would
mean several carloads of that splendid
food per county. Why not such re-
sponses? Why not do this matter up
in splendid style?
Thousands Of merchants have on
their shelves clothing and shoes that
are not salable in their communities
that are not up-tO-date-but these
goods will answer the purpose of keep
ing the war sufferers from freezing.
They will not care whether this cloth
ing is up-tO-date or salable in this
country probably will not know
but it will save human life, and that
is what we wish to do.
In this article we are making no eff
fort to cover the list Of articles that
will he acceptable and useful-there
are hundreds of items What is need
ed is universal action upon the part of
the people of Wisconsin and that at
the earliest possible date. Communi-
cate with Ira Il. Bush, secretary Of
Wisconsin Advancement association,

The pastor gave short talk during

the present war was producing at least
three definite results: a disdain for
war, discarding of drink, and de-

We Know They Are There, Because

Although at first thought the state
ment seems Incredible. it is perfectly
true that a lump of sugar may be con
vcrted into diamonds.

Ii is an easy matter TO separate out
the carbon, and in certain expert
ments for the production OF diamonds
this sugar carbon has been employed
The diamonds So produced were of
course very small and destitute of
commercial value. but still they were
real diamonds. and the chemical re
suit achieved would be no greater In
trinsically If they were as big as the

Scientists have often expressed the
hope that an Improvement In the proc
ess of manufacturing diamonds may
be effected whereby the necessity of
dissolving the carbon IN molten iron
may be dispensed with. and the re
quired combination or great pressure
with great heat may be brought about
by some such operations as squeezing
the carbon between redhot metal

URGES RELIABLE LAND PUBLICITY
Writer Advises Land Advertisers Make
Use of Government Census
Figures.

(By Max Loeb in Milwaukee Sentinel
Clean land advertising should be in
sisted upon by every reputable pub
Usher. What does it consist of? 1t is
easier to say what it does not consist
of. For example naming the eXcep-
tional crop yields or crop results OBJ
tanned by a few exceptional farmers
and intimating that these results are
the average for the given section. This
is a device very often INDUCED in and
nothing could be more misleading
Almost any country or any section in
the United States can show some far
mers who have gotten excellent re-
suits and have made money. This APP
plies whether it be dairy farming,
grain farming, fruit farming, orchard
ing or berTying It. is not the excep-
ton that counts--it is the average, and
a land company should give the aver
age figures as compiled by the United
States census for the region in which
/ it operates.
GET UNCLE SAM FACTS.
/ This necessity for the publication Of
government figures applies not only to
crops. bat also 10 rainfall, climate,
soil, etc. It is not difficult to obtain
from the United States government
Figures extending over sufficient
number Of years 70 have some statis-
teal value. and it is these figures that
should be given rather than figures
for an exceptional year II is also
possible to secure from the United
/ States government or from the geo
logical department of the various
states, soil surveys which state au-
! thoritatively the character of the soil
it's advantages and DEFICIENCIES, and
the kind of farming to which it is
adapted
The writer believes firmly that clean
advertisers should give these govern
ment figures or at least refer to them
and tell their customers where this
authoritative information can be Sc
cured
In the last few years there has been
a great deal of land selling on very
small payments, so small in fact that
/ the purchaser has practically no
stake in the land which he purchases,
or at least SO little stake that if he
gives it up he It's not seriously damag

A SCREAMING SUCCESS

Judging from the favorable COM
ments of all those who were present
the hard times dance, given in the
Orpheum Monday evening, was by
long odds the most enjoyable public
social event that has taken place in
Oroville during the entire winter, the
usual season of gayety and festivity.
There have been many dances and
much joy in connection thel ewith in
this town since the days shortened
and winter first took its grip on ma
ture, and the pleasures of the i'm
mediate present generally size up
larger than those of the distant past,
yet when all is said the dance Mon
day evening was undoubtedly the gay
est of the list of familiar functions
that have gone before. That the par
ticipants were hypnotised by the
brand of joy in circulation was evil
denced in the fact that the orchestra
did not reel of Home, Sweet Home"
until about the breakfast hour, and
there were quite a mob on the floor
