Marvels of the World

From the Springfield Republican,
 Many marvels of our time were fore seen by imaginative men and vividlv described by romancers before they were realized. But in most of these fancy pie lures the writer has failed, naturally enough, to realize how quickly the new becomes commonplace. Nobody, for ex- ample. sees anything remarkable in searching cotton bales for contraband copper by the use of X-rays, yet if Jules Verne had happened to hit upon this idea he would have made his readers feel the wonderfulness of seeing the invisible. Di- recting a fleet by wireless has come to seem as much a matter of course as di- ret ting it by semaphore We are stirred for moment by the report of an Italian priests invention of a pocket receiver, hut if that should come into use in a few months it would seem as prosaic as tho telephone on a hotel dinner table, with which anybody who cares to can talk to persons in remote cities. That was thrilling little story of Flight Com ma nder Hewlett, who in his flying ma chine wandered in the fog over strange German cities, got out to sea again. dropped bomb on a warship giimpsed below, fell into the water and lived for a week on Dutch trawler. mourned all the time as lost. His gifted father or Rudyard Kipling could make of it fas- clpating short story. But who could inl- aGine that the novel element in it, the element of human flight, would count fo~ so little, and the human element for so much? The way of the eagse through the air is wonderful. but the heart of man is more wonderful yet We live in an age of marvels. but the antoniehine thing is that they are not maryel0uo

SWISS TAKING WAR GOOD TEMPEREDLY
Nation Suffers Almost as Much as if It Were

Berne. Switzerland, March 6.-(Specia1) ) if she were at war, she bears it good temperedly. Life at Berne goes on much as before. There are no tourists, but then Berne was never a popular tourist center as the absence of a Cooks office testilies. The young persons one meets in the street carrying skis and alpen- stocks are Swiss-sign that the Swiss have begun to cultivate their mountains in the winter time. There being no business in the plain to occupy them rnis year, pro- fcssional men and merchants, untouched by the mobilization. have between them- selves to the heights. Thus the season has not been pure disaster to those who live by it. Sport hotels" are still open. for whilst the train panted through the falling snow to Berne one saw the gleam of lights from hotels placed far above. None the less. the crisis is real If it continues those pleasant summer touring grounds frequented by the Anglo Saxon and the German will feel the pinch of famine.
 Wheat is another matter of importance The war has stopped supplies by way of Amsterdam and the Rhine, Russia and Roumania And now Italy. the Swiss will tell you, is stopping cargoes at Genoa clear proof, is it not, that she is in- fuenced by England?
 And scarcely day passes without some evidence of friction. Yet the better in- formed acknowledge the English consid- eration in the matter. Obviously, if Italy enters the fiery circle of the war the plight of Switzerland is great deal worse. She will be enclosed by an issue less wall composed of France and Italy. Germany and Austria. Her position is in- creasingly precarious. She is in the dead center of the conflict. Thus she is forced to maintain triple neutrality-political financial, economic.

THE CHANGE FROM OLD
FARM CONDITIONS

The Wisconsin Farmer calls atten-
ton to the changes that in recent
years have taken place in farm condi-
tiops in comparison with what they
used TO be. 1t mentions the rural tele-
phone, the rural mail, the automobile
that many of the farmers have and the
electric lights that many of them soon
will have. These are few of the
things that have come in recent years.
Yes, the farm home is not what it
used to be. And there is the furnace
heat, the bath room lake city people
have. and electric driven washing ma
enines, electric fans and perhaps elec-
tric cooking utensils. Then there are
the music machines for the entertain
ment of the family. And the beauty
of the thing is that while the people
of the cities as a rule pay rent upon
these modern comforts, the farm peo-
pie will own them.
In this area of agricultural prosper
ity and comfort there is but one thing
that is out of the reach of the individ-
farmsr-one thing to get which re-
quirss community action-and that is
good roads. In the former times the
farmer was a rarity who took his fam
lily twenty miles away from home

EVERYBODY'S COUNTRY.

For many years upper Wisconsin
was looked upon and discussed as the
"poor mans country" Poor men
went there with empty hands-and
they succeeded. In the upper half of
the state there are probably fifty
thousand farms-the owners of which
have millions of dollars in the banks
Those who went there few years ago
have fine homes and splendid barns
The upper communities have built bet
ter roads and bridges than prevail in
the older portions of the state-im-
meHsurably better. Their school
houses and schools are superior. Such
progress has been made and the fer
tility Of the soil has been so demon
strated that men noted for their ag-
ricultural knowledge have said that
when fully developed the upper por-
tion will be the best part of the state.
Then came the question whether or
not it was a mistake to label the up
per counties as the poor mans coun-
trY-whether or not at the beginning
it should not have been called every
body's country. And how did this
question arise? Simply from the fact
that men of means became attracted
to that portion of the state. They were
men of superior knowledge and judg-
ment. Beneath the stumps and rub
bish they saw the fertility and value of
the soil. They had the capacity to
recognize the vast markets that SUE
round the region of unsettled lands in
upper Wisconsin, and they could see
that those markets would grow more
rapidly in the future than in the past.
They readily saw that the present
great industrial activity of the upper
country was but suggestion of what
it wall be in the future.
These men did not need to be per-
suaded to buy land and improve 1t.
They came not because they were un-
able to go elsewhere, but because they
did not ntto go elsewhere. Their
means not only enabled them to hasten
the development of the country, but
ALSO to employ those who temporarily
needed an income other than that
which in the eaply years of their set
tIement they could get from the land.
Now upper Wisconsin has become
everybody's country and its develop
ment is going ahead much more rapid
Iy than in the past.

JEWELLERS IN GLASS HOUSES

| WELLERS IN GLASS HOUSES
When l read some of the hysterical
criticisms of DIR. Haiselden of Chicago
who decided to let hopelessly defec-
tive baby die rather than to attempt
to save it's almost certainly worthless
life, practically the same idea flashed
into my mind that is set forth by a
writer in THE New Republic" He
SAYS it so much better than ] could
that will quote:
''At time when politicians and gen.
erals have to decide almost every day
whether to purchase a trench or hill
at cost of so many human lives, the
death of hapless baby has set a
whole nation talking. This happens
to be a nation which cannot boast that
it cares supremely about its babies,
for hundreds of thousands of them die
every year of preventabie causes.
They die of tenements which could be
ventilated, of milk that could be kept
clean, of neglect that could be RENE
died"
! That isn't all that he said but don't
care so much for the rest for the rea-
son that it was written from a New
York viewpoint. Large city social
workers commonly attribute high
death rates TO poverty, grasping land
lords, greedy employers and other
causes of that sort that aren't so COM
mon with us. And yet we have much
higher death rate than we should have
right in our rural districts where clean
air and sunshine are abundant and
free; where there are few landlords;
where employers have to beg for work
ers at good wages; and where mighty
few commonly Industrious people need
to go hungry.
What is the condition which is
responsible and which is to be found In
both rural Wisconsin and in crowded
New York City? Ignorance! And the
antidote for Ignorance is Education
And here is my point: if as much talk
and printers ink as was used on the
case of that defective Chicago chilo
were spent upon babies and growo
ups who are now doomed to die fol
the want of little knowledge, thou
sands of worthwhile lives could be
saved You have no right to condemn
Dr. Haiselden for letting that baby die
without his medical skill unless you
al using your power to save lives by
your means that are just as good il
the instances l refer to as were his il
the Chicago instance. If this argu
ment has interested you, I'd like tt
have your name and address on pos
tai card. l don't want to beg any
thing from you or to sell anything tt
you. Instead, I'll send you something
! for nothing from time to time.

WISCONSIN FIRST AT
POTATO SHOW
Badger Exhibit Awarded First
Prize at Grand Rapids.

Wisconsin won first place at the
National Potato Show which was hello
in Grand Rapids last week. New York
taking second and Michigan third
The following is a clipping from the
Chicago Packer"
''The potato exhibit maintained ir
connection with the convention was a
fine display and required the entire
main floor of the Coliseum. There
were three big general exhibits from
Michigan, Wisconsin and New York,
with over 600 individual entries for the
state and national prizes. Wexford
county, Michigan, made the largest
display of any county in any state ex-
hibitiHg, placing 81 entries. Wiscon-
sin made an excellent showing with
attractive exhibits from five counties,
and New York also deserves credit for
the excellence of the potatoes shown
from that state.
The Wisconsin exhibit was awarded
first prize by the National Potato As
sociation, New York taking second
and Michigan third.
Forest County was one of those
represented in the Wisconsin exhibit.
1t is significant that that the work in
Wisconsin for better potatoes is get
ting results. All potato exhibits are
becoming exhibits of standard com.
mercial demands and Wisconsin is de-
yeloping the standard market potato
more rapidly than other states. How
ever, people in Forest county should
continue to take an interest in this i'm
provement. In spite of frost and
other handicaps the Wisconsin counties
made good showing.

now with good roads and automobiles
hundred miles is less than ten was a
few years ago.
Such are some of the changes that
have taken place in recent years-and
yet we still hear people talk about the
isolation of farm life. The truth is
that the prosperous farmer-and there
is better opportunity for prosperity on
the farm than in the city-has health
ier work, better living and more op-
portuuity for diversion and real COM
fort than the multitude that is cramp-
ed up in the cities.
Modern invention has made the
farmer the real aristocrat.

KNOX COUNTY GRAND
JURY REPORT
KNOX CIRCUIT COURT
April Term. 1915.


To the Hon. F. ID. Sampson,
Judge of the Knox Circuit Court:
We, the undersigned Grand
Jurors empaneled for this term
of the Court beg leave to submit
the following report:
We have made a thorough in
vestigation of all violations of
the penal. and criminal law, in
dieting such persons as we felt,
under the evidence, were guilty.
We have paid special attention
to the violation of the local option
law and carrying concealed weap-
ons; we have also investigated
the violation of the election laws,
but we find that the use of whis-
key and money or other things
to influence voters has-not to our
knowledge been done within the
confines of this County.
We have visited the jail and
other public offices OF the County
and find them in a good and sani-
tary condition, and well kept.
We heartily endorse the actions
of Judge Sampson in stamping
out the blind tigers and bringing
all bootleggers to justice, as well
as stamping out the nefarious
practice of the use of whiskey
and money in elections.
We also endorse Judge Samp-
sons actions in calling a special
term of the Court to be convened
on monday the 9th day of August
for the purpose of Investigating
the way and manner in which
the primary will be held on
August Z, 1915.
And we recommend that said
term be called and that Grand
Jury be empaneled for the pur-
1pose Of investigation the way
and manner in which said election
is held ard the use of LIQUOR or
money to influence voters, so that
Knox County may keep upon the
high plain of citizenship to which
your Honor has, by your untiring
efforts, placed it.
We have now completed our
work for this term and have per-
formed that duty without favor
or affection, returning such in
dictments as the law warrents.
Respectfully submitted.
