WILL DEMOCRATS
SURRENDER TO G.O.P.?
CANDIDATE GRELL BOASTS HE
WILL SECURE WATERTOWN
DEMOCRATIC VOTES.
Progressive Republican Say He VIII
Have a Hard Row to Hoe Due to
His Bills Against Farmer
and Taxpayers.

Are the Democrats of this assembly
district going to concede the victory
to the Republicans and lay down with
out offering opposition to the stall
wart Republican candidate now in the
field. This is the question asked by
the Progressive Republicans, and far
mers in general, who are strongly
opposed to Mr. Grell of Johnson Creek
His opponents accuse him of fathering
the Filled Cheese bill against the far
mers interest and contrary to the
wishes of his constituents. He also
favored the Elgin Butter trust and
fathered the so-called Live Stock San
itary scandal bill which he introduced
as chairman of the agricultural com
mittee in the lower house The latter
bill carries with it an appropriation
which creates from 1900 to 1400 new
offices and bids fair to bring about
a greater scandal than the game war.
den scandal by ten-fold. Every Off
Ger thus appointed must, according
to Wisconsin laws of the the state
pass a civil service examination be
fore he can draw pay. 1t also pro
vides that the farmer must pay 10!
the inspection of his cattle whateyei
the live stock board please to impose
upon him.
1t is no wonder that Governor PhiliI
has been slow in enforcing this un-
just law and imposition on the farmer
and live stock men in general, as it is
directly in opposition to his principles
of abolishing excessive commission
and state offices.
Mr.. Grell has been asked why ht
has introduced this bill after havinf
been pleaded by his constituents to
vote against it and his answer was {:
"The fellows up there wanted the bill
and | thought | would introduce it.
Who was Mr. Grell representing while
in the assembly (the fellows up there)
or the voters of the First assembly
district who asked that he use his in
fiuence to bring about its defeat
There certainly will be roll call on
Mr.. Grell before the next election
which will serve as an eye-opener tC
DOtn Democrats anu Ilepuoll0dho' o'
say the Progressive Republicans OF
this district who are strongly opposed
to him and his principles as shown
by his past record.
According to reports from local del
egates who attended the Republican
conference at Jefferson this week ii
is claimed that Mr. Grell said that the
local Democrats were going to help
him by not opposing him in the race
for assemblyman.

CITIES SHOULD HELP
COUNTRY CHURCH
SAYS EDMUND DE s, BRUNNER
LECTURING AT MORAVIAN
CHURCH TUESDAY NIGHT.
Cities Receive Food From Members OF
Country Churches and Also
Their Ministers.

Edmund de S. Drummer of the Mo-
ravian Country church commission in
his address Tuesday evening in the
local Moravian church made strong
plea that the cities should help the
country church.
He said "Of late years the atten-
ton of the nation has been centered
in the problems and conditions exist
ing in rural America. Times have
changed rapidly in the country. The
price of land has increased but the
yield per acre has not. This makes
it temptation for the farmer to sell.
The rural free delivery, the telephone
and even the trolley have helped to
lessen the distance between city and
country. For generation past the
best of the country's young people
have gone to the city. The farmer as
rule sells his land and follows his
children to the city. The tenant to
whom he sells his land cares little
FOR the community institutions, such
as the school and the church. This
has affected the country church very
bad Thousands of country churches
have closed their doors. This is the
situation. How to meet it is the
problem
In trying to better the rural COM
munity five things must be taken into
consideration; greater knowledge,
greater efficiency, greater spirituality,
greater service and greater cooper
alton.
Greater cooperation is the largest
of these to be looked after. We must
realize the inter-relation of the city
and country. The majority of minis
.ers come from the country churches.
From the members of the country
churches come the food that feeds us.
1t is for the city therefore to lend
what help it can to the country in
making better markets, in making the
farmer feel at home in the town and
in aiding the country in its efforts
for social festivities This can be
done by the city giving its own talent
for entertainment of various kinds
and in literally supporting the home
mission churches.

SURE CURES.

1t must have been noticed by regu-
lar readers of this column that almost
never has space been given to rene
dies and to suggestions for self-treat-
ment And this in spite of a realiza-
ton from the beginning that publish
ing prescriptions and formulas for
"sure cure" remedies offered an op-
portunity for quick popularity
Consideration of the vested rights"
of physicians has not deferred such
publication. Neither has it been a
lack Of prescriptions, because access
to books with lists of thousands of
remedies and formulas is easy
With the knowledge that the great
mass of newspaper readers would
! like remedies, that immediate popu-
! lartiy awaits the man who will fur
nish them freely what has been the
, reason for discussing causes and ma
ture Of diseases rather than remedies? :?
Honesty fOrbids- and whole
some respect for the harm that mis-
information and misdirected infornla-
ton may do. Scrupulous physicians
q
edies which will stanG@a1one-suc as
quinine for malaria, mercury for sy-
philis, antitoxin for diphtheria, iron
for anaemia and various remedies for
constipation. Practically all other
remedies depend for whatever virtues
!; they possess upon the intelligence or
luck with which they are admins
tered.
But even those listed depend upon
a correct knowledge of the condition
to be treated and again upon proper
dosage based upon requirements of
the individual patient. Thus, in the
south where malaria is so common,
thousands of patients have died of
consumption while taking enormous
quantities of quinine for the malaria
they supposed they had. And nobody
knows many patients have died of ap-
pendicitis through a powerful "physic"
administered for what was supposed
to be indigestion or cholera morbus.
Anaemia, also, is seldom a simple
condition. Usually it is but a symp-
tom Of some more serious internal
disease and will disappear only when
the obscure cause is discovered and
removed. Chronic indigestion is an
other snare. 1t is SO frequently due
to cancer or tuberculosis that no pa
tient, doctor or druggist is warranted
in administering stomach remedies
until he knows as we'll as can be
learned that one of these diseases is
not the cause of the Distress
Nothing, therefore, is more import
ant for people to learn than that di-
agnosis rather than skilIful medica-
ton is the all important thing in the
successful treatment Of disease. And
that is why this bureau will continue
to discuss the principles and nature
of disease and firmly refuse to be
an accomplice in shortening the lives
of misguided citizens.

WHITE SOX USE SIGN LANGUAGE.
Is Best Way In Signalling SO Start
School.

Everyone who is a baseball fan
knows of the frequent use that
the catcher makes of the Finger Ian
guage." The White Sox have started
a school in this language and all the
players attend it. The teacher is
Jack Lapp. His title is Professor
Jack Lapp, now, not plain Jack Lapp.
His class includes all of the pitchers,
a majority of the infielders and some
of the fly chasers. Not only that but
some of his pupils are so apt that
they have mastered the sign language
to point where they employ it in
baseball game.
It's trick that Lapp brought from
the Athletics, the Mackmen long hav-
ing been proficient in the sign Ian
guage And also let us mention that
Eddie Collins isn't student, he's an
instructor.
Lapp says "a catcher always takes
a chance of having some one read his
signals. But if he employs this sign
language he is safe. This is because
there are SO few players that know
the language. You san spell your
signal to the pitcher with the coacher
looking on and he will never know
whether you are asking for fast one.
curve, slow ball or pitch OUT
Of course if the practice ever be
comes common, it's usefulness will be
destroyed.

NORTHERN WOODS
GUIDE HIGH FALUTIN'
College PrOf's and Students Find Prof.
. table and Healthful Way of Pass
ing Summer Vacation.
GUIDES FILL THE NORTH WOODS.

When you go into the North Woods
this year for your summer vacation
and find a good looking guide, dom
make the mistake of trying to treat
his as an inferior. Let it be known
that there is a new vocation in the
fessor and college student who wants
to combine vacation with money earn
ing. The Northern woods are filled
this summer with guides who are col
lege students or professors.
Not BOastfuI.
However, they do not boast of their
education. They are hiding from the
public and merely seeking to get
strength for winter of class work
by summering out of doors.
Here is the financial opportunity
for those who know how to cook and
paddle canoe. There resorts pay
their guides from $50 to $35 month,
board free.
Such a condition is especially found
in the Eagle River, Three Lakes and
Cisco waters. One professor alone
sent seven Amherst men to summer
resorts along the Antigo-Cisco branch
of the North Western railroad the
present summer.
There are probably in the entire
northern region 800 college students
earning summer money this way.
Old Guide on Honeymoon.
At Tenderfoot camp the last two
years there was guide, named Bill.
That was his real name. At La Crosse,
Wis, where he is a school principal,
they don't call him that. This year,
however, he is not guiding, but has
an island on an isolated lake for a
summer camp, where he is spending
the entire summer honeymOoning with
his bride, a classmate at Lawrence
college, Appleton.
So beware how you think the man
who cooks your fish at a MONDAY
camp is an ignorant woodsman. He
may be knows as professor" or doc
tor" when you get him back in civili-
Zation.

ALLIES SHELL ON
EXHIBITION IN CITY
Louis Mundt Sends Shell From Am
munitiOn Factory Where He
Works to Father
JOHN MUNDT WILL EXHIBIT 1T.

Louis Mundt, who is working at an
ammunition factory in Lorraine, Mich
sent a three inch shrapnel, weighing
eleven pounds, to his father. The
shells are being manufactured for the
Allies. Just the case for the shell is
manufactured in this country This
is because the Allies have found that
German sympathizers in this country
were working in the factories where
the shells were manufactured and
would tamper with them before they
were shipped. Thus to prevent this
tampering the shells are being filed
in England The output at the fac
tory is about I 900 day.
The shell is on exhibition at John
Mundt's store at SO North Fourth
street.

carried the west. His talk showed

talked and they laughed. Remins-

coming in, the joke being now turn
