Plenty of Feed in Wisconsin.

Notwithstanding the effect Of the un-
seasonable frost, which hurt other
states more than Wisconsin, Wisconsin
farmers will have plenty of feed for the
winter. This is the opinion of one of
the best informed farmers in the state,
and is generally agreed to.
The hay crop was a very large one,
and the pastures are so good that a Sc
cond crop of hay will be harvested
from meadows that ordinarily are used
far fall pastures. This will add very
materially to the stock of fall and win
ter feedstuffs.
Then, the small grain crop was so
large that considerable portion of
them can be fed to stock and still leave
fully an ordinary crop to sell. Oats,
barley and rye-the great small grain
crops of Wisconsin, are we'll suited for
feeding purposes.
There is nothing to complain of in
Wisconsin although it is clear that if
we had full corn crop all over the
state the year would have been a still
better one. AS it is prosperity is with
us as usual.

RECEPTION BY GEO. H. LEGATE
w. R. c.

Wednesday evening of last week,
Sept. 20, the executive committee OF the
George H. Legate w. R. o., having been
Informed that Mr.. and Mrs. D. B..
Jacobs had decided to leave the city to
spend the winter, arranged and sue
cessfully carried out very pretty re-
ception and surprise at the &. A. r..
hall for Mrs. Jacobs, who is Past Pres
ident and present Senior Vice OF the
corps, and Mr.. Jacobs, who is Past
commander and present Chaplain OF
the local Post. The comrades of the
Post being also invited, a goodly mum.
Der of the veterans were present, and it
goes without saying that the occasion
was greatly enjoyed by all.
A social hour was spent in the ex-
change of greetings and good will, after
which the company were called to at
tention by the president of the corps,
who stated the object of the meeting.
Commander Hoare highly commended
the committee and corps for their usual
forethought in everything pertaining to
the welfare of the Post and Corps.
Comrade G. Spensley was delegated to
speak for the Post. He impressively
and touchingly attested to the very high
regard in which Comrade Jacobs and
his estimable wife were held by all our
people and of their loyalty to the Post
and Corps. Having known them from
the time they first became residents OF
this community he knew whereof he
spoke. He also had been priviledged to
come in contact with them when tenn
porarily residents of other localities,
and always found them entertaining
pleasant memories and a high estima-
tion of our people and business enter
prizes. He voiced the wish of both the
Post and Corps for complete restora-
tion to health of Comrade Jacobs, a
pleasant visit and happy return of both.
Remarks were made by Comrade
this city in Co. 1 I'd Inf, and
was later transferred to the cele-
brated Battry B of the Iron Brigade,
and who chanced to be visiting
relatives here. He gave vivid account
of the active service partaken in by that
command during the war.
Mrs. Orvis of Waupaca was also
present and being called upon, gave d
very interesting account of the conduct
of the Wisconsin Veterans Home near
that city, where the aged veterans,
wives and widows are tenderly cared
for by the state, and where they enjoy
the comforts of real "home life" Mrs.
Orvis congratulated the W. R. G. for
their assistance given from time to
time in furnishing the cottages at the
home. Vocal and instrumental music
was rendered and light refreshments
were served by the corps.

gress at the next session for approx
mately $25O.OOO.OOO for the use of the
army.
When Secretary Garrison appointed
into the questions they presented the
various needs of the army from their
viewpoint and then advised the head of
the department that it would require
$60O,OOO00O this year to provide these
needs.
The secretary took the plans and an
alyzed them piece by piece until he has
finally cut the cost by $350,O00,0O0.
AS now worked out the plans provide
for an army built along the following
lines:
An immediate increase of between
25,0OO and 10000 men and 1000 Off
GERS.
The present enlistment terms to be
changed to the short enlistment. with
a reserve provision which requires the
soldiers to return to the colorS upon
call.
BY the operation of this plan the
army at the end Of five years would
consist of 100000 trained men-125,OOO
in the service and $4,000 prepared to
join the colOrs; ut a moments notice.
The theory upon which this plan was
worked out was that the American
standing army should be for defensive
purposes only. In other words. it was
prepared unOn the assumption that the
navy will be increased to such an eX-
tent that it can for long enough time
protect the two coasts against attack
to give the army a chance to build up
a tremendous force with the 100000
men as a basis
The plan provides for the enlarge
ment of the most important coast for
tifications and the use Of the greatest
guns at the principal points.
A general increase in all branches of
ordnance and the purchase Of a stock
of ammunition plentiful enough to car
ry on an initial campaign.
In addition to the plan for the regu-
lar army there will be a number of
suggestions for the standardization of
the militia. Because of the failure of
most of the state organizations to meet
the standards set down by the war de-
partment it has been deemed inadvisa-
BILE to spend any great amount of fed
eral money on these branches. 1t is
declared that President Wilson will
urge on the leaders that the proposed
increase is imperative.

U. S. SUBMARINES Are

Washington.-What else may be
said of the submarine torpedo boats of
the United States, naval experts ia
miliar with this type Of craft are con-
fident that the underwater boats of no
other nation are built Oh stronger lines.
In fact, naval officers say that none of
the great world powers requires the
construction Of submarines to resist
anything like the great water pressure
that is required of American Subma-
rineS
Submarines built for the American
navy must have hull strength sufficient

a depth OF 300 feet. Before these deli

has been of common occurrence III sub
marines, and the work of construction
has been delayed more by engine de-
fects probably than from all other de-
fects combined.
For example, while the contracts for
submarines usually call for delivery
within two years, it has been under
stood at all times that the vessels
could not be completed and delivered
in that time, and the reason given al
ways has been the engines. 1t is be-
lieved. however, that the submarine
engines have been so far perfected
that from now on delivery of the boats
may be confidently expected within
the contract period Naval experts
ccncede that Germany may have a su-
perior submarine engine.
While deeply regretting the loss of
the FL. with its crew of twenty-five
men, naval officers take pride in the
fact that that was the only fatal acci-
dent to an American submarine. while
similar accidents have happened to
the submarines of the big European
nations on more than one occasion.
But submarine cruising is hazardous
at best. The structure of a subma-
