Several million dollars have been
spent in the United States for horses
for war purposes. The greatest

strong horses capable of work as cal

countries, and still the demand has
not been filled. The draining of the

the schooling OF the Greek lad up to
the age of ten or eleven, and II did
not differ essentially up to the age OF
sixteen. except In the severity OF the
exercises.

The English newspapers say that
the prisoners of war in Germany are
not we'll treated and the German
newspapers assert that in England
the prison and detention camps are
unsanitary and the food bad. Now,
listen, boys. Stop this foolish
pickering. You know as well as we
do that the war popped up SO sud-
denly that neither side had fair
chance to advertise for bids for the
construction of modern military
prisons with all up-to-date improve
ments. So, the chances are that
neither in England nor Germany is
there pen in which any self-respect-
ing prisoner can find decent accom-
modations. Moreover, there will be
very little improvement in the
situation. Each government will be
paying more attention to Staying the
enemy than to saving him. 1t
ought to be lesson for us, however.
In time of peace let us prepare a
perfectly wonderful military prison,
with disappearing beds, buffet
kitchens, sunken baths, vacuum
cleaners, sleeping pOrches, tango
floors, cabarets, roof gardens and
garage. Then advertise it well in
the enemy country. The result will
be that when we pull off the attaque,
brusque, the enemy will walk right
up, Law down his arms and enquire
the nearest way to prison.

If you ask a scientific man why a
stone falls to the ground he will tell
you that he doesn't know. Not long
ago he would have replied that it fell
to the ground because the earth and
stone attract one another. This is very
much the same as saying that an I'M
supported stone falls to the ground
because. as has been ascertained by
frequent experiments. an unsupported
stone falls to the ground. Scientific

The temperance people OF
Washburn believe that the citi-
zens of Bayfield, county will be
interested in knowing the out
come of the two alleged blind pig
cases, State VS.. Bergen and State
VS.. Weigan, which were schedul-
ed for the May term of Circuit
Court for Bayfield, county. and
for this reason have gotten to-
gether the following information:
In February, after detectives
Meade and Dons had secured
evidence against several indi-
viduals in Washburn for the
alleged illegal sale of whiskey, a
committee from the Women's
Christian Temperance Union
went with the detectives to the
office of the District Attorney to
swear out the warrants. The
advices from Captain 0. 0.
Wizard, President of the Detective
Agency, were to the effect that
a resident of Washburn should
sign the warrant. This the COM
mittee endeavored to do, either
as a committee or individuals,
but this privilege was denied
them by the District Attorney.
In order to get the matter brought
to justice, Meade swore out the
warrants and the two defendants
were taken before Judge Calder
where they plead not guilty and
were bound over to the Circuit
Courtito await trial.
When the trial of these cases
seemed to be unduly long in COM
ing off, the temperance people
began an investigation and
found some new and unusual
stunts had been perpetrated up
on the public.
In the first place, when the
time came to serve subpoenas
upon the detectives to appear as
witnesses, the District Attorney
sent them to the Postmaster at
Crandon, with the request that
he hand them to constable to
serve. This seems rather irregu-
lar, as the matter OF assisting in
serving warrants or subpoenas
scarcely comes within the duties
of a postmaster but is usually
left to officers as the Sheriff or
Chief of Police or some constable.
Whether the subpoenas ever
reached a constable or not Will
probably never be known for
they were returned in a plain
envelope, unserved, according to
the statement of the District
Attorney made to the court.
Whereupon the District Attorney
went to the office Of the Clerk of
the Circuit Court and had both
cases nolled on the books.
No subpoenas were served on
local witnesses, and the evidence
was not asked for. 1t is still in
cold storage.
