At Duty's Call.

Flags up and hats off, Wisconsin!
Five Thousand of her sons are on the
way to mobilizing camps, and soon
may be on the way to the Mexican
border.
Flags up and hats of in their honor,
and as a manifestation of public appre-
citation of their offer of service at the
call Of their country; to give them as
surance that those who DO not 90, and
the multitude of men, women and
children who can not go, realize what
they are willing to do for the nation,
for the safety of its citizens.
Flags up and hats off.
Five thousand husbands, sons, broth
ers and lovers have bade good-by to
their dear ones and are marching as if
to war.
Give moment of quiet thought to
what the marching away of these FIVE
thousand soldiers means to them.
At the very least it means the pain
of sad partings; it means the hardships
of camp life; it means the giving up Of
business and its plans, the closing Of
offices by the professions, the giving up
of positions depended upon for the care
of families, the laying aside of studies
and the abandonment of plans for Sc
curing an education, the putting off of
weddings.
Again, flags up and hats off for men
who voluntarily make these sacrifices
and march away TO what they and
their countrymeD know not, but see
signs of the coming Of the worst.
BY marching away, 10y Offering such
sacrifices, they also tell us that they
are willing to make Others; that they
are prepared to make long marches in
an enemy's country, If need be; to face
lines of battle, il need be; to suffer
from wounds, il need be; to languish in
hospitals, II need be; and, if need be,
to make the last and greatest sacrifice
for their country, its people, It's insti-
tutions and the honor OF its flag.
Flags up and hats off to fellow citi i
zens who by putting on uniforms and
marching away at the call OF the auth
critics, proclaim that they are willing
to make any or all Of these sacrifices.

CIRCUIT COURT NOTES.

The jury in the breach OF promise TO
marry case OF Loose w Rathsack
brought in verdict of $l0i0 for tho
plaintiff. They evidently did net
wholly credit the defendants state
ments OF his reasons for breaking of
his relations with the plaintiff. There
was some contradictions In the testi.
mony as to the interest OF Mr.. Rath-
sack in the business Of Wm. Ratbsack
and Sons Company.
Following that the court was oc.
cupied with Gallagher vs. The 500 Line
until Tuesday noon. Mrs. Gallagher, a
passenger on freight train got off at
Valders on an errand and seeing the
caboose moving hurried to catch the
train and fell in defective path. The
company claimed that this path, a
diagonal, cross lots route was on
property leased by them to shippers
and was not maintained by the COM
pany. The jury answered the ques-
tions in favor OF the railway company
and fixed the damages at 1854 In case
the court should rule that the plaintiff
can recover.
The Seibel case was commenced
Tuesday afternoon. Mr.. DePons claims
that when employed at the Seibel store
he was STOPPING down at show case
and In rising struck his back on table
corner and was injured In manner
that induced tuberculosis OF the bone
and for over q year has been and now
is incapacitated for labor.

BETTERM ENT OF
RURAL SCHOOLS.

If rural America is to continue to ae
a satisfactory nursery OF human life
for the nation, it must be made health
ful and attractive. 1t must provide
conditions favorable for the cultivation
Of the best. The improvement OF hu-
man health and welfare in rural Amer
lea is problem affecting national
perpetuity. 1t is a problem dealing
with the most essential and most en-
dangered of all our national resources.
1t is a problem Of greatest significance
in relation to our national welfare.
No factor is of greater fundamental
importance for securing national pre-
paredness, either for peace or for pos
sible war.
The most vital phase of this problem
OF rural health is the effort to increase
the health efficiency OF the rural
schools. This is because the rural
school is the universal, the official, the
stragetic agency through which inhu-
ences for good health may be most eff
fectively exerted, directly and Indirect
ly, not only for the care OF the health
OF children, but for the improvement
of rural health In general. Dr..
Thomas Denison Wood, of Columbia
University, finds that the percentages
Of country and city children suffering
from various diseases based ou availa-
BILE statistics are as follows;

EDUCATIONAL.
(By G.. w. Meisnest.)
CITY is HEALTHIER FOR Chill
DREN THAN THE COUNTRY.

bhEN ia AIN IL Il wv AZ ~
Unprejudiced study Of conditions
surrounding the education OF the chill
dren OF this country-a study based on
tatistcs-results in exposing facts
and conclusions both startling and sig-
nificant.
More than half of the 10000, 900
school children in the United States
are attending rural schools.
Country children attending the rural
schools are less healthy and are handi-
capped by more physical defects than
are the children Of the cities Gncluding
all the children of the slums). And
this is true, in general, Of all parts of
the United States.
The significance OF this can be
grasped when it is remembered that
most of our best human material for
leadership in city and country must
still come from the farms. For the
most part, the raw material to supply
the reeds Of civilization, including the
best human supply, must continue to
come from the soil. This is in accord
ance with great, univ versal law Of
life.

The council was ready to adjourn
when the question arose OF the posi-
bility OF fixing power rates to be
charged by the new utility plant came
up. 1t started prolonged debate
mainly between McKeough and Thorl-
son. McKeough argued that it Is an
engineering possibility now to fix
power rate and called on the engi-
neer to state the correctness Of this.
Mr.. Pitz said 1T is possible any certain
consumption is assumed. Thorison
didn't believe in assuming" and want
ed demonstration before fixing rates.
McKeough argued we'll for his point
and succeeded in getting the utilities
committee instructed to report on pro-
bable cost at the new plant. The
point was that the High Falls proposi-
tion cannot be combatteG unless the
city power rate proposition Is known.
The committee was also instructed to

COUNTRY CHILD
MORE DEFECTIVE.

An examination of this table will
show that in every health item the
country child is more defective than
the city child This Is most surprs-
ing reversal OF popular opinion. More
than twice as many country children
suffer from malnutrition as do city
children; more lung trouble, and in.
clude more mental detectives than do
the latter.
1t has been assumed that because the
country child has all the resources Of
the country, he is, of course, surround
ed by fortunate and wholesomee condi-
tions. But tina possession of all out,
doors is far from enough. The farm
er's home is, as rule, insantary In
many respects. 1t is often terribly un-
ventilated,s . and the dwellers in the
house are fed many hours OF the day
with bad air. Country water and food
are less wholesome than water and
food in the city. The standards Of
living on the American farm, when
tested by the accepted principles OF
sanitation and hygiene, are alarmingly
defective.

FOURTH OF JULY.--Rut two short
weeks, and the day rendered immortal
in the history OF our country will be
upon US. Nearly a century has elaps-
ed since thirteen small states, with a
population scarcely exceeding that of
the State OF Ohio, declared themselves
free and independent Of power that
ranked first among the nations of the
earth and waged war for that liberty
and independence which they have
handed down to u.s. liberty of conscience
and the liberty of selecting our own
rulers. That we should celebrate this
day in some betitting manner none can
question, and as the time Is short, it
behooves our citizens to bestir them
selves-not await the action of our
Board of Aldermen, Tor we do not con-
slider it to be any part OF their duty to
spend the money of the city in any
such manner-and make arrangements
as will show proper appreciation Of
the day rendered glorious in the an
nails of history. We are at peace with
all the world and now ranks as one of
the most powerful as well as the larg-
est in eXtent-its domain extending
from the Atlantic to the Pacific and
from the Gulf of St. Lawrence to the
Gulf OF Mexico. A contribution taken
up among our citizens in aid of such 3
purpose will furnish funds enough to
defray the expenses Of such a celebra-
tion, without extracting any money
from the city treasury and afford en-
joyment for all. We trust that our
citizens will take the matter in hand
and not let the day pass without be-
lifting celebration.

BETTER HEALTH
PURCHASEABLE.

Better health is to striking extent
a purchaseable commodity and benefit.
Vast sums of money are expended
from public and private funds for the
amelioration OF human suffering and
disability in the attempt to salvage the
wreckage resulting from unfavorable
earlier conditions, which with fore
sight at very moderate cost might
in large measure have been prevented.
Our schools are spending millions in
educating, or trying to educate, the
children who are kept back by Ill
health, when the expenditure OF thou
sands in judicious health program
would produce an extraordinary saving
in economy and efficiency. A dollar
saved In q wise, constructive effort 10
conserve child's health and general
welfare will be more fruitful TO the
child and for the general good than q
thousand times that sum delayed for
twenty years. The principle OF thrift
In education finds its first and most
vital application In the conservation
and Improvement of the health Of
children.
