with the benefit which it brings; but
from whence does the real benefit
come? From the maker. He had
carefully thought out the whole
thing and you now reap the benefit
Of it. Intelligence was there before
the machine could have possibly
been put together.
Now this earth of ours is on the
same principle. It is most certain,
therefore, that intelligence must
have brought about the gradual
Transformation of this earth, because
there can be no sense to a thing I'm
less there is sense behind it.
The planet upon which we live is
by far not the only one. On a clear
night one can get a good idea by
looking into the sky how many
worlds there really are. Astronomers
tell us that all these stars which we
see are planets, probably not far in
likeness from our own.
Our earth is not independent. We
depend to some extent on all the
other planets. We must have heat
and light from the sun, without
which we could not exist. The
moon as well as other planets play a
great part in causing the various
changes in the weather. It is there
fore evident that these other planets
are governed under natural laws,
created by some intelligent force.
The above goes to prove that the
old saying, Mature is the art of
God" is true. We owe this truly won
derful nature to none other than the
One who is all infinite in wisdom

Lieutenant Governor Edward F.
Dithmar of Baraboo has announced his
candidacy for the republican nomina-
ton for lieutenant governor to succeed
himself. He will be on the La Toilette
slate, headed by State Senator Otto
Bosshard of La Crosse as candidate for
governor. Mr.. Dithmar ran strongly
before, very strongly, although re-
latively unknown up almost to the
primary. He "came out" late, made a
rushing campaign and landed success
fully. Now, after a session in the
limelight as presiding officer of the
senate during a sensational session, his
name is known widely, like that of a
judge at murder trial, and the race
should be easier. Mr.. La Toilette has
no lieutenant more loyal than Mr.. Dlth-
mar, few indeed who have been 30
steadfast. Mr.. Dithmar has himself
been suggested for the governorship,
but older men are in his way.-MadiSon

TIE Proposed Raid on
Egypt

Frank HI. Simonds, author of 1.-THE
Great War" writes his opinions and
predictions concerning the proposed
German raid on Egypt. In part he
says:
"But there is vast doubt in the
minds of military experts the world
over as to whether the conquest of
Egypt would actually achieve the re-
suit the Germans expect. 1t would
only lengthen the voyage to India,
since the Cape of Good Hope route
would remain. Britain conquered India
when she had only sailing vessels and
had to use the Cape of Good Hope
route; she held it despite Napoleon's
descent upon Egypt; she draws neither
men nor necessary provisions from
Egypt.
Should the Suez thrust fail, then
there is left to Germany only the bare
chance that some neutral nation, the
United States most likely, would inter-
vene to modify the blockade, which
was not starving her which was not yet
causing her people to die of hunger or
her armies to lack necessary equip
ment or supplies, but which was al
ready causing general hardship and
promised to become even more onerous

Wouldn't it be great if all accounts
could be paid at least
once year? The credit sys-
tenn has its advantages and its dis
advantages and among the latter must
be counted the disposition on the part
of some people to forget that they owe
bills that should be paid before the
apse of time has devoured all the prof
its. The great thing in favor of the
mail order houses is that they extend
no credit and on this basis the million
dollar concerns have been built. When
the cash is short the local merchants
get the trade and in many instances
the time of payment is 80 long de-
ferred that instead of profit in tina
deal there is an actual loss. In this
manner alone the merchants of any
agricultural state suffer an annual los
that aggregates millions of dollars
And yet without the credit system this
country wonld be in a bad plight, but
people should remember that it is rid
ing the credit horse too far without
feed or water and creates bad pinches
all along the line and makes the roads
rough where they otherwise should be
smooth. Richland Center Observer.

Interest Ra ties Failing

In New York recently, James j. Hill
said: AS soon as the great European
conflict started, with few exceptions,
it was argued that from one end of the
world to the other the carrying charge
for money would advance as result of
the unprecedented loss of capital. Such
arguments reached a climax last De-
cember, when figures were published
to show that the Ecost of the war up to
that time had had been S3S 900, 900, 600.
1t was then pointed out that the thirty
eight billions was only the actual money
cost and did not include the losses in

Ash Wednesday, the first day of
Lent, this year falls on March s.
Easter Sunday falls on April %, the
latest in many, many decades. Such a
late observance will not occur again
until 1943, when the Easter date is April
25. 1t won't fall on April % again until
the year 1000 Examples of late
casters are few. Records show that
in 1928 Easter fell on April % and in
1889 on April 20. The most recent
year in which Easter fell on tbs 23rd of
April was 1905.

There has been much slippery

Political Pot Getting Hot

The present year promises to top all
previous years in political agitation.
The national issues are very much in a
tangle, one section being in favor of an
embargo and another not, still another
for temperance and another opposed,
while still others are all split to pieces
on preparedness az we'll as other ques-
tons. The Republicans and Demo-
Gratis must consider many problems in
setting up their platforms and har-
mony on all sides is impossible. Of
course President Wilson will be the
Democratic nominee and the Republi-
cans are asking if it shall be Roosevelt
or some else.
In state politics the Republicans have
divided themselves into three camps
for Philip for Bosshsrd, for Mr.. Nc
Govern. The second and third are Pro-
gressives and one of them must have q
strong following in order to win the
nomination over Mr. Philip. Mr.. Nc
Govern has filled the governor chair
at Madison two terms and the voters
usually look with disfavor on third
termers. There are also other reasons
why Mr.. IBosshard appears to have the
lead in the Progressive ranks.
From present indications Merlin Hull
will be q candidate for congress to de-
feat John J. Esch. If both enter the
field the fight is likely to be made on
one or two timely issues and will be in
teresting. By the time the Democrats
throw their hats into the gubernatoriaT
and congressional rings, there will be
plenty to interest in those quarters.
