his own life.
The city of New York is now giving
him an opportunity to work out the
plan which he has formulated, and the
Hotel de Gink is the result.

people wonder why men folks don't
like to stick around the house and ap-
preciate their meals more. The reason
is that the women folks muddle the at
mosphere kicking about bills. When a
man goes home tired, discouraged and
hungry he wants something to make
him forget his trouble. When he sits
down to the supper table and his wife
tells him the installment collector has
been there, the furniture man says he
must pay up Saturday night and the
insurance is due it's enough to take
away his appetite even for beans.

more important than an ice chest or a
parlor carpet. It helps to hold the
smile. Lack Of system, no work and
no eats will break up a home quicker
than anything else. Eats come after
the piano. And then a good sleep.

New York.-There has been estab-
lished in New York a unique institu-
ton known as hotel for hoboes. The
manager of the hotel defines the word
'.hobo'' as follows:
"Hobo-a man who goes about from
place to place seeking an opportunity
to MAKE GOOD"
The hotel. an old factory building on
Center street. has been leased to New
York hoboes. It is not chanw. No
charity in any form is desired. Every
hobo who registers at the Hotel de
Gink wants work. If any gift is sent
to the hotel management some hobo
will be sent to work out the value of
the contribution.
Jeff Davis. the hotel manager, has
been hobo for sixteen years for the
purpose of studying hobo conditions
and devising practical means of help
for the fraternity.
He is Twenty-Five years old, married
and has a wife and two children. He
ran away from home when thirteen
years of age. He is native of Gin

THE STATE is IN DEBT.

That which passes current is often
unreliable. Frequently some news
paper or other congratulates the people
of Wisconsin that by article eight OF
their constitution the state is prohibited
from contracting Indebtedness But in
the forestry case the supreme court
has uncovered the fact that the State of
Wisconsin is in very deed in debt to her
school trust funds in the sum Of over
So, 900, 900. For the financial juggiery
which has brought about this condition
both parties are to blame. But it is
now squarely up to the Philip admin
istration to straighten the matter out in
an honest business way. Here is a
right good test of business admins
tration.
The court finds:
When the land purchase contracts
were entered into the state was indebted
in the sum of over $4,000 900, which in
cludes 100000 borrowed by the state
to defray the cost of the first state cap
itol and the hospital for the insane.
The large amount of indebtedness
though taken up for the trust funds or
borrowed of the trustees Of such funds,
is all, essentially, state Indebtedness
under the constitution, and prohibited
thereby. Such indebtedness still exists
in form.
The use of the trust funds as indi
Gated, was unconstitutional. The So
100000 and over paid to the state by
the United States since 1864, on &C
count of it's expenditures for war pur-
poses, belonged to the trust funds, and
should have been used to repay the
money irregularly withdrawn there

BIG GAIN IN LIVE STOCK.
Beef Cattle, Milk Cows, Swine and
Horses All Show Increase.


Washington.-For the first time in
many years information collected by
the United States department Of agrf
culture shows that all classes of live
stock in the United States are increas-
ing in numbers. Thus the real facts, it
is pointed out, contradict reports that
prices of meat and shoes would rise to
unprecedented figures in the immediate
future. 1t has been said that a govern
ment statistician predicted meat at 80
cents a pound and shoes at $40 pair
within the next two years. Such
prediction. the real government Stats
ticians say. is unwarranted.
Jan. / the number of beef cattle
showed an increase of 3.4 per cent
over the number year ago and an
actual increase of 1,212,OO0 head.
Hitherto the number of beef cattle in
the United States has declined steadily
since 1910. There are also more milk
cows in the country than last year, the
increase being % per cent, Or $4,000.
Swine showed the greatest increase of
oil C1dSSCo-O.O pei CCAI Cdu. L, 1O1T,
there were 58,933,OOO swine in the
country; Jan. 1, 1915, 64,618,OOO.
The prediction of fifty cent meat and
ten dollar shoes was accompanied by
the declaration that France alone has
taken from America nearly 100000
horses within the last five months and
that the other countries at war have
drawn upon our resources in the same
proportion. The facts are that more
horses were on the farms of the Unit
ed States Jan. 1, 1915, than there were
a year before, the increase being 1885,
600 head, or IL per cent. Instead of
France having taken 100000 horses
from us the total exports since the war
began have been much less than 1O0,-
900, and likely not over $4,000. Since
there are approximately 25,O0O,00O
horses in the United States, the drain
on account of the war is not consider
ed alarming.

ADMIRAL OUTLINES
GERMAN NAVAL PLANS
Thinks England Means to Die
tate Peace Terms With Fleet.

Berlin, Germany.-Grand Admiral Won
Rooster, president Of the German Navy
league, in an address at Kiel univer-
sity discussed the considerations gov
erning the part that is to be played by
the German navy in the war. He said
that the relative strength of the Ger
man fleet compared to the Anglo
French Russian feet was perhaps l
to 4.
The British, he added, perhaps esti-
mated German lust for battle so
highly that they had said to them
selves, "Some day they will come, and
we shall be able to assume battle in a
situation favorable for u.s.
Another possibility, Admiral Won
Rooster said. was that the British
have higher regard for the German
feet than Nelson had for the French
or the Spanish. That the offensive
spirit of the Germans is greater than
that of the British, the admiral con-
tinued, can justly be assumed when
one recalls that the Germans took an
offensive against England's east coast,
whereas the English had not dared
to approach the German coast.
eve are full of the firmest conf
dence in our feet" said Admiral Won
Rooster, "but we know that sea bat
tie means death Or victory and that a
destroyed fleet cannot be replaced in
the course of the war, even if it lasts
for years. We must therefore under
all conditions be cautious in our pro-
cedure and allow ourselves to be incit-
ed to no deed which might eventuate
in our defeat.
"For what would be the situation if
a sea battle took place tomorrow in
which each one of our ships took a
hostile ship to the bottom with it and
perhaps some others? Then we should
be without a fleet, and England could
proceed gradually in it's attacks against
our coasts. And you can be sure after
the conduct of England in our colonies
that no city would be spared Our
most severely threatened. Landing at
tempts, if they were sufficiently we'll
prepared, could succeed at places most
uncomfortable for us.
"Our fleet must protect us under all
conditions and may accept battle only
when it can reckon on victory"
Admiral Won Rooster said that the
course of the naval war up to the pres
ent had caused him great surprise. He
added that high British naval author
ity said seven years ago that Germany
would wake up some morning and find
her fleet gone. He also recalled the
utterance of Winston Spencer Church
ill, first lord of the British admiralty,
in speech at London last September.
In which the German fleet was desig-
mated as a luxury" and in which he
said that if the warships did not come
out and fight they would be "dug out
like rats in hole"

a GOOD LAW.

Editor n. A. Whipple of The Waterloo
Democrat. who knows a great deal
about the schools of Wisconsin, is very
strongly opposed to the repeal OF the
county board of education law. He
says:
The school people of Wisconsin and
the newspaper men will be derelict in
their duty to the country schools OF
Wisconsin if they permit the county
board of education law to be repealed
without an emphatic and statewide
protest. These county boards should
be retained and their powers and duties
should be enlarged.

MILLIONS OF FEET OF
GAS GO To WASTE
Indians Cook With 1t and Keep
Warm In Zero Weather.

Edmonton, Alberta, B. N. W.-The
Pelican Portage gas gusher, 10 miles
north of Edmonton, Alberta, has given
off daily for sixteen years an average
of 100000 feet of natural gas. The
we'll was struck in 1893 and has never
shown signs of diminishing. Attempts
made to cap it have proved futile, the
enormous pressure, some 600 pounds
to the square inch. blowing off all
valves.
At one time company was formed
to pipe the gas to Edmonton, but was
refused a franchise. Recently public
spirited men subscribed $4,000 to drill
for gas near the city's limits. They
struck flow about equal to the daily
output of the Pelican. This will be
piped to Edmonton, and, now that the
venture has proved successful, the men
who furthered it will be reimbursed
by the city. So it appears the great
gusher at the Pelican is doomed to
waste it's unestimated millions. The
only beneficiaries from it are the men
of two oil drilling outfits in the vicini-
ty who have piped a line from the
gusher to their workings.
Indians occasionally camp in the
neighborhood, and as the gas seeps
through the ground they merely heap
up a pile of stones over some crevice.

THE OPEN ROAD AND
DEMOCRACY.

In an address delivered before The
Chamber of Commerce of the United
States, Hon. Joseph E. Davies clearly
explained the purpose, the functions
and the possibilities of the Federal
Trade Commission. In conclusion he
said:
Its present enactment into law is due,
more than to any other single cause to
the sympathetic understanding, the
genus for constructive craftsmanship,
and the vision of the President of the
United States.
1t holds promise of great aid to
to American business and of greater
security for the liberties of our people.
1t is an attempt in an industrial era of
great complication to translate the
spirit of Faneuil Hall into terms of
present day freedom. Conditions of
the present, and as we'll the freedom of
opportunities in the long future for our
children and their children, demand
that the highways of trade shall be
kept open and fair; that the "rules of
the road shall be preserved and en-
forced with reason and temperance
and with tirmness and exact Justice.
1t has been said that there are but three
generations between shift sleeves and
shirt sleeves. Regardless of the magni
tude of personal achievement, there can
not be found man in this country, in
my belief, who does not desire that
conditions shall exist and shall con-
tinue to exist in this country such as
will enable his children and his grand
children, if reduced in means, to have
an opportunity with a clear road and
no favor, to achieve and build their
fortunes and their character to the
same degree and in the same manner as
opportunities were afforded which
made their forebears strong, powerful
and big.
But the great and momentous task
which confronts the people of this
country and the business men of this
country in connection with this nrob-
lem is bigger than such considerations.
The problem reaches down to the fund
amental question of the kind and char
acter of the government we shall evolve

which challenges, indeed, the existence

Mould Raise More Beef.

Is Wisconsin suited for beef produc-
ton?
John l.. Tormey, secretary of the
Wisconsin Short Horn Breeders associ .
alton, says it is and backs up his claims
in such way as to greatly encourage
anyone who has had any doubts in the
matter.
In the last issue Of the Wisconsin
Bankers Farm Bulletin, Mr.. Tormey
has this to say about Wisconsin as a
producer of prime beef:
wisconsin is naturally suited for
beef production. Southern Wisconsin
pastures are equal to those of the blue
grass section of Kentucky. Upper
Wisconsin is the clover land of Amer
