direct from the Wilson headquarters,
and after having sold enough to adver-
tise its excellent qualities as health

The Quaker Oats Company has raised
the price of pulled wheat three cents a
box. Now a box contains four ounces
of wheat or four boxes to the pound.
Possibly there is loss in weight when
the wheat is pulled so it may be
safely said that one pound of wheat
will produce the contents of three
boxes of the finished article. Wheat
used to sell at around Sl20 and there
have always been so pounds to the
hushel so. six months ago, a bushel Of
wheat would make $50 boxes Of
pulled wheat at a cost of two thirds of
cent per box. The boxes retailed st
IL cents Now because wheat has adj
vanced 50 per cent or one third of a
cent in cost per box, the Quaker Oats
Company has advanced the price g
cents per box 1t is such impositions
as this that are making the cost Of
living higher than the occasion de-
mands.
Whether the Quaker Oats people set
the uncharitable, yea damnable, exam
pie we do not know, but other large
concerns are manipulating prices Of
substantial and necessary food articles
in like manner, and to their utter
shame. 1t should be cassed as crimi-
nal.

1t is not the verdict we anticipated
or believed to be best for the country.
Nevertheless it is the verdict of the
nation. As such it is to be accepted
with faith, despite its blindness as to
direction and policy.
We must assume that the people are
right in preferring in these crisis days
policies Of tmidity and INDIGESTION to
those Of courage, conscience and char
acter; in declaring that the strife for
wealth. and the undisturbed enjoy
ment of riches, is more to be desired
by nation than facing its obligations
TO its citizens. its integrity it's very
soul.
That was the real issue Of the cleo
tion just held IL was the test put to
the people of America at their moment
OF greatest material prosperity. They
have rendered q verdict as confused as
TIE policies they seem tohaye indorsed
1t is beyond clear Interpretation to-
day. Time alone will interpret it to
the world, and to ourselves.
All that is certain is that as a ma
ton we are committed to policy Of
Cropping. America today is like mar
liner without a compass, like a man
without purpose. 1t has rejected its
matchless opportunity TO be the one

Budds Crossing is on the main rail-

Lake Lomond, which irrigates the
thirsty section by means of a huge
dam, back in the mountains. If ever
the dam burst engineers, and people

more. All agreed that only those on
the outskirts would be able to make
the rim of the horseshoe round the
town in time.
Budd's Crossing was not worrying
about the concrete dam, guaranteed to
last three centuries. 1t was worrying
about the bank robberies in neighbor-
ing towns. The Cotton gang had held
up the banks of Newboro and Gasthaus
in broad daylight, taken out the con-
tents of the disrupted safes, and rid
den off unscathed. Budds Crossing
had prepared for them-at least, the
bank had-in the shape of two armed
guards who patroled the front of the
building and were prepared to shoot
upon proyocation. Some nervous peo-
pie described bank robbers in every
stranger.
Somehow it leaked out that the Col
tons had sent a bombastic letter to the
president. They promised to have the
pUblic's deposits by certain day. AS
Cotton aped the so-called romantic
deeds Of the outlaws, the banks nerves
were on the jump when that day
dawned.
Nothing happened that morning. 1t

Study Of Facts.

The study Of facts is an important
element in education. Not of unre-
lated facts, or even of related facts
which make up trivial whole.
1t is essential that some serious sub
tect Of fairly wide range should be pre-
scented more or less constantly for a
period of at least several years to
mans mind, so that it becomes in a
sense his own, before he can rightly
be said to have received an "educa-
ton"

Why Salt Causes Thirst.

Salt has been described as a natural
element of the blood in about the same
proportion rs in the water of the
ocean. Under general conditions we
do not feel the existence of salt in our
bodies because its effect is counteract-
ed by due proportion of water.
When we eat an excessive amount
OF salt thirst is created by the demand

Between Man and Man.

COnfucianism, the prevailing doc
trine of China, is neither a religion
nor system of transcendental or cos
mic philosophy.
1t is an agnostic system of ethics and
a system Of practical and purely tenn
poral common-sense philosophy which
sees no farther than this earth.
1t takes practically no notice what
ever of the question of an after life,
of eternity, Of future rewards and pun
ishments, of God.
1t teaches merely that one ought to
do good because it is mans duty to
do good. Confucianism is entirely con-
cerned with the relation between man
and man.

DETAILS OF THE NEW FARM LOAN
ACT.
What is Required of Farmers Who
Would Borrow of the Government

Would Borrow of the Government
Few iG any Of the farmers in this
prosperous section Of southern Wiscon-
sin will have any practical use for the
much-talked-of farm loan act passed by
the last congress-, but they may be in
terested in some of the provisions of
/ that law which follow
A National Farm Loan association
must be organized, composed Of ten or
more farmers all of whom desire to
borrow under the new law, an aggre-
gate amount Of not less than $40, 600,
giving as security first mortgages upon
these ten or more farms.
Until the association is formed by
Wisconsin farmers it is impossible for
any single Wisconsin farmer to borrow
any money on his own farm under the
farm loan act After the local associa-
ton is formed all applications for farm
loans (including those Of the original
organizars) must be made TO the Ma
tional Farm Loan association. Each
applicant is then referred to q loan
committee consisting of three men who
are elected by the board of directors Of
the national association; but until
50, 600, 600 of farm loans have been
made in this particular land bank dis
trict, the management of the affairs of
the local district bank is in the hands
of FIVE directors to be appointed by the
president of the United States. These
five men will have the appointment of
the loan committee as well as Of the
ten who are to appraise all farms upon
which a loan is desired
Every loan must contain the follow
ing restrictive conditions:
Term. from five to forty years not
possible to pay off mortgage inside of
five years.

must be made each year, in addition to

from the fact that the principal hg-

been inferred that they were engaged

They were. Harry was in the bank,
and he could look up and see Meta
opposite the switchboard across the

How the quarrel started nobody

that Meta and Harry were not on
