10 Counties Plan Fair.

Eighteen counties already have made
appropriations ranging from two hun
bred to one thousand dollars for coun-
ty exhibits to be made at the 1915
state fair. Secretary j. c. MacKen-
zie announced he had received Motif
cation from the clerks of Is counties
as TO the appropriations made, and
that Sawyer county had paid its entry
fee and made arrangements for the
placing of its exhibit. Bayfield, coun
ty was the first to appropriate $1,000
for an exhibit.
At no time in the history of the
state fair has there been SO much in
terest In the exhibits of agricultural
products SO far in advance of the date
of opening the state fair. Heretofore.
the earliest entries received have been
in July. Secretary Mackenzie in
terprets this early manifestation of in
terest as forecasting highly success
full fair for 1915, from the standpoint
of county exhibits of agricultural prod
ucts.
The early activity of the counties is
attributed TO the success OF county eX-
hibits at the 1914 fair.
What was conceded to be the great
est and best show of agricultural
products ever gathered together under
one roof was exhibited in the new
county exhibit building at the 1914
fair. This building, which is substan-
TALLY built. is 72x200 feet, and during
the five days of the fair last fall 49,
900 visitors saw the county exhibits.
A large percentage of these visitors
learned then for the first time that the
northern counties of Wisconsin are
capable of producing grains and fruits
unexcelled in any other part Of the
country.
Northern counties. feeling the need
of settlers. eagerly grasped this oppor-
tunity to inform the world as to the
quality and quantity Of agricultural
products which are grown successful
ly within their boundaries. They say
that the county exhibit at the state
fair is the proof of the pudding" and
that these exhibits attract a greater
number Of settlers of the right sort
than anything else ever has done.

The soldiers Have Toothache.

From accounts which have come
from the front. toothache would seem
to be one Of the hardships of cam
paigning in the trenches. The sec :
tary OF the British Dental association
says that start has been made to
provide an efficient staff OF dental sur
geons for service at the front. Six
dentists, WHO have been given the
temporary rank of lieutenant In the
Royal Army Medical corps. have left
for France, and further drafts of quail
flied men are being chosen, If they are
not actually on the way. for service
near the firing line. They will also
have the temporary rank OF lieuten-
ant-London Telegraph.

SEEING THE LIGHT
Democrats Awake to Faults of
Administration.
Governor colqultt's Arraisnment Of
President Wilson and Secretary
Bryan Shows the Temper Of
the Country.

There has been q large amount Of
critical comment during the past
IL months upon the vagaries and in
aptitudes of Democratic ideas as prac-
tically applied to the business of gov
eminent. Such of these criticisms as
have emanated from Republican
sources. while they have always been
backed by citation of what is re-
garded as confirmatory evidence. and
though they have sometimes been
tinged with sarcasm, have almost
unexceptionally respected the person
atty of the president. There has GER
tainly never been any criticism from
a Republican source so sweepingly
and uncompromisingl condemnatory
of the Wilson-Bryan administration as
the scathing arraignment by the Dem
ocratic governor of Texas.
In a talk for publication at Hous-
ton Governor Colquitt lays down these
several propositions as pertaining to
the present administration: The VIII
son administration has been the great
est failure in the history of the presi-
dency. The administrators
foreign policy has been imbecile.
The administration repeal OF
the Panama canal tolls exemption law
in violation of the party's national
platform was another weak surrender
to England. The Wilson Bryan
management of the Mexican affair has
beer an egregious failure. -. /
am lully convinced the election OF
1916 will end the Democratic regime"
The Texas governor backs up every
one of these declarations with a cita-
ton of the reasons upon which he
bases IL.
Texas at the last presidential cleo
ton gave the Democratic candidate
for the presidency a plurality of over
10000. Colquitt, who ran for COVER
nor on the Democratic ticket the year
following the presidential election,
was elected by a plurality in excess
of 211,000. Texas apparently believes
in Colquitt more than in Wilson, but
just see what the Democratic COVER
nor thinks of the Democratic presi-

Rural School Needs

A speaker at the recent Banker
Farmer Conference in Chicago shed
an odd little Sidelieht on that much
debated question of a literacy test
for immigrants. 1t is commended
cogently too-that a man who has
had no educational opportunities in
his childhood is less apt, on the
whole, to make a profitable citizen
than one brought up in a commu-
nifty where education is priced. On
that principle congress declared that
persons unable to read and write in
any language should be excluded.
II is well known that the immi-
grant usually settles in a city, and
there his children attend a public
school that cost all the way from
a hundred thousand to half a mill
lion dollars. a school probably well
built, we'll ventilated and well equip
ped. Public school libraries, labora-
tories, gymnasiums, lecture rooms,
will probably be available to that
immigrant child.
