And Endless Story (Retold)
Milwaukee, Wis.

Once on a time there was a great
King, and he had great possessions
and a lovely daughter. He gave out
word that he would give his daughter
and one-half Of his kingdom to any
young man who could tell him an end
less story. And if anyone should fail,
he should become the laughing stock
of all the girls in the kingdom. Sew
eral smart fellows tried and failed. At
last youth in a remote corner Of the
realm came before the king for trial.
The terms were that no interruption
would be allowed on penalty Of defeat;
except that the king should have the
privilege of asking one question. So
the youth began. Once there was a
great king who, fearing future fam
inc, built a vast stone building that
would hold one million cubic feet Of
space; and he filled it with shelled
corn and sealed it all up, except at
one of the gables he left an air hole
nearly an inch square for ventilation.
It came to pass that the lOcuSts OIL
that region found it, and began taking
the corn out. One locust went in and
brought out grain Of corn, and an
other locust went in and brought out
still another grain Of corn, and an
other locust went in and brought out
another grain Of corn. This he repeat
ed till the days ran into many months,
and the king grew igety and his face
long and solemn, and the youths voice
sounded like the droning Of the bum
BILE bee as flying he digs his head
against the glass window trying to get
out. At last the king asked his one
question. Hold" he cried, us there
nothing beyond these locusts?"
And the youth replied, II do not yet
know They have taken out about
eight cubic feet of corn, and the air is
full of locusts. | must tell it as it
occurred. And another locust went
in and brought out another grain of
corn, and another locust went in and
brought out another grain of corn, and
another 10"
Great Jupiter! Stop!" cried the
king. "Take my daughter and all my
kingdom, but never let me hear an
other word of your abominable To-
Gusts"
Life is an endless story, from father
to son down the ages.

LOSE SOUL OF THE RACE

II an address at Harrisburg, Pa,
Otto H. Kuhn, of the banking house or
Kuhn, Loeb & Co., New York, said that
Germany had sold her things of great
value at a DEVILS bargain. Listen to
this:
"From each of my visits to Germany
for twenty-five years, I came away
more appalled, by the sinister transmit
tation Prussianism had wrought
amonst the people and by the pro-
tentous menace I recognized in it
for the entire world.
ct had given to Germany an I'M
paralleled prosperity, benefcient and
advanced social legislation and not
a few other things Of value, but it
had taken in payment the soul of the
race. It had made a devils bargain
"And when this war broke out in
Europe, | knew that the issue had
been joined between the powers OF
brutal might and insensate ambition
on the one side and the forces Of hui
manity and liberty on the other, be-
tween darkness and light.
MANY there we're at that time
and amongst them men for whose
character I had high respect and
whose motives were beyond any pos,
sible suspicion-who saw their own
and Americas duty in strict neutral
ity, mentally and actually, but per
sonally I believed from the beginning
of the war, whether we liked all the
elements of the allies combination
or not-and I certainly did not like
the Russia of the czars-that the
cause Of the allies was America

CERMANY'S DOOM OF FEAR

Germany, clearly enough, is living
today under the doom of fear Her
temper, her expedients, her gestures,
all of them proclaim the state that has
lost it's moral balance. There should
be no ground for that attitude None
of us wants the destruction of Ger
many. The peace for which we are
working should promise that which
will make her the partner in the pros
poets of our common civilization if
she is willing to accept the conditions
upon which that life is lived To real
ize that, she must be in a mood to rea-
son calmly Let us ensure her what
common prudence demands and she
can awaken from her evil dream. But
she will then see that the economic
background of peace must be based
upon territorial Encouragement. If
domination has failed, cooperation
must follow. If she cannot defeat the
world, she must accept the world. In
that mood it is possible to make effect
i've settlement of our problems.@New

WISCONSIN AND LA TOILETTE

Wisconsin newspapers, we suggest the
following legend:

war We had no grievance. Robert

If the state of Wisconsin wishes to
clear its honorable record of the stain
of disloyalty it will at the earliest pos
sible moment remove from La Toilette

Bood-Bye

Say, hear you the call of the bugle,
And hear the roll of the drum,
And see our boys arm for struggle
And notice they willingly come?
How noble, how thoughtful their bear
ing
How calm is the glance of the eye
AS they to the field are repairing;
Come all, now, and bid them good
bye!
From farm and from shop let us gather
From commerce and gain let us rest;
All envy and rivalry smother,
And bring forth the truest and best
Let us fling out the Star Spangled
Banner,
And in the free breeze let it fly,
Entrusting it's fame and its honor
To our boys as we bid them goodbye
We know you are gallant defenders
Of every bright star in the folds
Of that banner that never surrenders
To wrongs that tyrant upholds.
And the cohorts of tyrants defying
On the field you will conquer or die
Meath the banner that DER you is fly
ing
We trust you, we bid you goodbye.
Though friends and your kindred
you're leaving
And all the endearments Of peace,
Fond hearts to you closely are clinginl
With love that never will cease.
And while with the tyrant contendin1
On their faith and devotion rely
For with you their love they are send
ing
And weep as they bid you goodbye
And though you may cross the wide
ocean;
On autocracys trenches advance;
How grandly will swell your emotion
To see the fair lilies of France
Entwined with the folds of Ole
Glory
In union that never can die,
While old is sweet Liberty's story
TITS for her we bid you goodbye.
Where autocracy's bayonets bristle,
Shells rain from humanity's foes,
By your side is old Scotia's thistle,
By your side is Albion's rose;
The shamrock of Erin there needing
The d0wn-trodden Belgian's cry
You go to aid freedom now bleeding,
And our prayers go with you. Good
bye.

Backache? Rheumatism?
Rundown?

Those of us who are past middle age
are prone to eat too much meat and in
consequence deposit l;re-salts ir the
arteries, veins and joints. We often
suffer from twinges of rheumatism or
lumbago, sometimes from govt, swollen
hands or feet. There is no longer the
slightest need Of this, however, as the
new prescription, Anuric, is bound
to give immediate results as it is many
times more potent than lithia, in Kidding
the impoverished blood of its poisons
bv way of the kidneys. It can be OBJ
tanned at almost any drug store, by
simply asking for Anuric for kidneys
and backache. 1t will overcome such
conditions as rheumatism, dropslcall
swellings, cold extremities, scalding and
burning urine and sleeplessness due te
constant arising from bed at night.

LET us REMEMBER

That every flag that flies opposite
the German one is by proxy the
American flag, and that the armies
fighting in our defense under these
flags cannot be maintained through
this winter unless there is food
enough for them and for their women
and children at home. There can
only be food enough if America pro-
vides it. And America can only pro-
vide it by the personal service and
patriotic cooperation Of all Of us.
Wisconsin must do her part. To save
meat we must use more poultry, rab-
bits and especially fish and sea food
in the place of beef, mutton and pork.
Observe meatless day every Tuesday.
On other days do not use either beef,
mutton or pork more than once daily.
Use all left over meat, cold or in
made dishes. Use soups freely. Use
beans. They have nearly the same
food value as meat.

When we reached the point called
the "turntable," we were met by Miss
Doris and her nurse. This is as far
as the automobiles can go and conse-
quently make their turn-around here.
Many people bring their lunches and
eat at this place. Already we were be-

after our efforts, and soon the fire was
started in the fireplace and our corn
and potatoes were bubbling merrily.

who enjoyed the occasion immensely.

gathered rapidly, and it was nearly

provement and the excellent care she
receives at the institution. She still
spends four hours each day in bed.
Although she is greatly improved
the doctors advise her stay there for
several months yet. She is happy
there and is quite a favorite.
On Sunday she sang solo at Sun

she was connected with the schools OF
Sank county, which county has been
considered a leader nj educational
