TARIFF, ENGLAND, FRANCE AND
UNCLE SAM.

It is becoming more and more app
must be replaced with Republican
protection. All the countries of Eur
ope have long had import duties, and
Great Britain is now planning On a
high tariff, while the other countries
will enact more tariff laws.
The following is an extract from
"Fairplay," London publication:
America has so far evaded the fight,
but she is bound to recognize two
things (apart from the fact that we
are not out to be beaten): First, that
the nations who win this war, whether
they be the allies or the central pow
ers, will not be in a temper to stand
any nonsense from any neutrals; that
the winning combatant countries will
the world, and that no one else will be
in the running. Secondly, America
will appreciate that the allies, pace
Mr. Asquith, do intend, where it pays
them to do so, to put up a tariff wall
between themselves and neutrals
They mean to restore themselves and
to become self-supporting, at some
expense it may be while the operation
lasts, but certainly not for the benefit
of neutrals
Later we learn that Great Britain
has recently prohibited the importa-
ton of all steel manufacture of militia
ry supplies, linen, rubber manufact-
urers, fruit, preserves, poultry and
canned vegetables.
France prohibits the importation o.
papers, cardboard, laboratory glass
ware and bromium.
These DEGREES seem aimed at Amer
lean producers and manufacturers, as
these articles come chiefly from this
country.
Aside from other significance of the
foregoing, it behooves Uncle Sam to
protect himself by a little tariff legis-
lation.

A LOST ART RECOVERED.
GAINESVILLE Man Makes Stone Axes and
Arrow Heads.

H. L. Skavlem at GAINESVILLE will
stone axe for you while you wait AL
ready versed in the lore of botany,
geology and orinthology, Mr.. Skav-
lem turned his attention a few years
since to the subject of Wisconsin In
dian archaeology. Doubtless his in
terest in the new study was quick
ened by the fact that on his farm
on Lake Koshkonong is an Indian
village site which for fifty years has
constituted a fruitful hunting ground
for the characteristic remains Of the
departed race At any rate he has
developed some very interesting the
cries, the proof of which he has pre-
pared on occasion to demonstrate to
che satisfaction of the most skepti-
cal. Mr.. Skavlem holds that the
white man Of to-day, using only stone
axes, arrow heads, and other char
acteristic utensils Of the stone age
period as we'll as the primitive man
himself can do. Armed only with
a piece of bone he fashions an arrow
head in two or three minutes time
explaining the while the obstacles
which the primitive artisan had to
Overcome. In thirty minutes he
fashions a stone axe, again employ
ing only the tools of the stone age
worker More remarkable even than
the ability to make these things is
the ease and dispatch with which
they are produced.

SHIPPING POULTRY.
Advice to PouItrymen Desiring to Build
Up Parcel Post Trade.

agricultural
All poultry should be carefully pick
ed to avoid torn flesh and all pinfeath-
ers removed. Dry picked poultry usu-
ally presents much better appear
ance than that which is scalded. 1t is
very important that poultry be thor
Oughly cooled before shipping. If de-
sired the head and feet may be left on
but in parcel post marketing it is more
economical to ship with heads and feet
off. If heads are left on they should
be neatly wrapped in parchment paper
If removed the skin of the neck should
be first drawn back so that after the
head is taken off the neck skin will
completely cover the neck. This should
then be tied and wrapped in parch-
ment paper. Poultry ships and keeps
much better if undrawn. 1t should not
be drawn unless the customer insists
on having it that way or unless state
or local law requires it. No diseased
poultry should be offered for SALE 1t
Is desirable to offer only plump. well
fattened birds. Old Stock of doubtful
eating quality should be disposed of In
some other manner.
Dressed poultry may be roughly di-
vided as follows: Chickens, hens, ducks,
geese and turkeys. The term chick
ems" includes broilers, fryers and roast
ers
Broilers usually weigh from one to
two and one-half pounds, fryers from
two to three and one-half pounds and
roasters from three and one-ha1f pounds
up.
Hens for roasting must be in desir-
able condition and not so old that the
flesh is not tender. Hens for stewing
may include the older fowls.
Old ROSTERS. unless specially ordered,
should not be marketed by parcel post,
as they are not of a satisfactory quail
ity.
Turkeys may be classed as young
hens or toms and old hens or toms.
Ducks and geese should be sold at
such an age and in such condition as
required by the customer.

TWO MORE BROKEN PLEDGES

Here is an extract from the Demo
cratic platform on which Wilson was
elected president in 1912: 1--WE favor
a single presidential term, and to that
end urge the adoption of an amend
ment to the constitution making the
president of the United States in
eligible for reelection, and we pic ;lge
the candidate of this convention to this
principle. This candidate was MIR.
Wilson
Here's another: THE constitu-
tional rights of American citizens
should protect them on our borders
and go with them throughout the
world, and every American citizen
residing or having property in any
foreign country is entitled to and
must be given the full protection of
the United States government, both
himself and his property"
We all know how these two. among
the other pledges, were kept Even
the most ardent Democrat has not the
courage to deny that Woodrow Wilson
is running for his second term as pres
ident. Neither has the staunchest
supporter Of Mr. Wilson and the Demo-
cratic party the face to deny that
American ships loaded with Aneri-
can cargoes for neutral countries were
captured by the British navy, taken
to British ports and held for months
or coniscated outright Nor that the

was $66.27 The flock numbered fifty
to sixty. The eggs sold for $15717,
giving total profit Of $1,000 At an
average price of 234 cents a dozen, the
hens returned a profit of $3.50 each
, above the cost of feed.
They were fed as @ scratch food a
mixture Of two parts cracked corn and
one part wheat The mash consisted
Of equal parts of bran. shorts, corn
meal and beef scraps. Grit. oyster
shells and water were kept before the
birds all the time
These conditions were about what the
ordinary conditions are when raising a
small flock of fowls, and can be dupli-
Gated by most persons. A $3.50 profit
on each hen per year is quite a fair
remuneration when everything in the
way of feed is bought. Where there
are table scraps and other waste ma
terial to feed to the hens the profits
are, of course, larger.

1915 PARTY PLEDGES.

The candidate for the presiding Of
the United States on the Republican
ticket, Charles r. Hughes, is pledged:
To protect American rights on land
and sea from all countries alike;
To maintain peace of justice and
right, and straight, honest and i'm
partial neutrality between the belig-
erents of Europe;
To aid in restoring and maintaining
order and peace in Mexico, and TO pro
vide adequate protection for the life,
liberty and property of American citi-
zens there;
TO uphold the Monroe doctrine;
TO further commercial and social
relations with the South American
countries;
To carry out the former policies Of
the Republican party regarding the
Philippines;
TO provide for the protection of the
country with adequate military pre-
paredness;
To enact legislation which will pro
vide tariff sufficient to protect Am
erican industry and labor and secure
the industrial independence of the
United States;
To properly regulate railroads and
other great industrial corporations;
To provide an effective system of
rural credits;
TO extend the rural free delivery
system;
TO encourage and help to build up
a merchant marine that may compete
with foreign shipping interest;
Ia favor interstate and intrastate
commerce being placed exclusively
under federal control;
To secure economy and efficiency
in the running of the national govern
ment by simple and business like
budget system;
To conserve the natural resources
of the nation;
To reorganize the civil service sys-
TEN along lines of efficiency and econ
omy;
To provide legislation to secure the
safety conservation and protection o.
labor from the dangers incident to in
dustry and transportation;
To leave the woman suffrage ques-
ton to the states.
In short, to continue along the form
er efficient lines of previous Repub-
lican administrations, and to correct
the mistakes of the present Demo
cratic administration. These are not
idle promises, nor will they be disre-
garded as the Democratic pledges
were. We have tried to give an idea
of the course of action laid out in the
Republican platform, without going
into detail and leaving out the man
ner of solution which is worked out
and ready to put into operation.

MOTHERS BEING KILLED.

This bureau is being called upon in
an editorial appearing in the current
issue of the Wisconin Medical Jour
nal to make a campaign against the
"frightful mortality among the moth
ers Of Wisconsin from blood poison
ing accompanying child birth This
call is significant one. coming as it
does from a periodical owned by the
organized medical profession of the
state, because it does not lay the res
possibility entirely on others but
| frankly states that physicians are to
blame in many instances.
/ This self criticism is true to the
best traditions of the medical prof
ession. The principals of that pro-
fession have always demanded of its
practitioners that they place the inter
est of their patients above their own
In this they are comparable to sailors
who are Obliged by there own I'M
written law never to leave the ship in
time Of danger, until every passengers
safety has been looked to first
But as there has been sailors who
have thought of personal safety first"
SO are there some practitioners of
medicine whose first thoughts are of
personal ease and easy money. The
medical journal holds no brief for
such. On the contrary it considers
the welfare of the individual, the pa
tient and the non-medical public, in
the mass, to be above personal and
;a,o
mothers died III Wisconsin last year
OF blood poisoning as an incident of
childbirth. Even this isn't the whole
truth because not all of such deaths
are recorded truthfully as to cause
Practically all of those deaths were
preventable and yet they were not
prevented! Why? Because in to many
instances someone was careless or
ignorant = or both careless and ig-
norant. A large proportion of Wis
consin mothers do not have an INTEL
gent physician or midwife in attend
Iance. Altogether too many are depen-
. dent upon such service as neighbors,
husbands, and even children may
render.
1t would seem as if every expect
ant mother were entitled to the foil
owing minimum of care and yet | am
assured by physicians that not very
large preparation receive even this
little:
l. Examinations and reasonable
assistance in safeguarding her own
and her expected infants life and
