Ten Things to DO This Week
and Next
Progressive Farmer.

and Next
Progressive Farmer
Make the garden rich with
manure and prepare a fine seed
bed for the early vegetables.
2. Look 10 the housing, feed
ing and general care of the
poultry. Cold tree tops as roost-
ing places and insufficient feed
largely explain why many flocks
don't pay.
3. Go over the farm imple-
ments, tightening bolts, repiaC-
ing broken parts, and generally
putting things to rights for the
heavy work that is ahead.
4. Get seed oats and make
good planting in case a suffi-
Clent acreage was not put in
last fall. Spring oats, while
Welding less than the fall-sowed,
will save buying high priced
corn.
5: Lcok over the seed peas
and beans, making certain that
there is an ample supply for
planting.
6. Better inspect the cotton
planting seed, too, seeing to it
that they are dry and not heat
ing or rotting.
I. A complete cropping plan
for all the farm should be out
lined at OnCc, if this has not al
ready been done.
8. Study every rolling field on
the farm, with view TO doing
all that may be necessary TO
stop losses from washing.
9. Study the pasture problem,
and plan to make this wear a
really good pasture for your
livestock.
10. Don't forget the Stumps-
keep after them.

Miss Carter left Germany in April,
She has gained twelve pounds since
she left Europe. The strain on her
while she was in Germany during
the war has told upon her. She is
glad to back. In her handbag today
she carried letter from an acquain-
lance who stayed in Berlin and which
stated that conditions are no better
than when she left. The letter was
not censored because it contained no
reference to the war.
"The common people in Germany
are kept in ignorance of what the
true situation is as to food. Ger
many is most resourceful, but it is
short of food. Salt is dealt out like
any commodity. You have to be
known to get it."
Miss Carter said that clothing is
on the restricted list in Berlin.
"The kaiser is running second
hand store," she said. "When you
buy clothes the store keeper takes
what you discard and retails it to
someone else The people are in dire
need of clothing"

Miss Carter stated that aside from
the food shortage, Germany seemedto
be in a position to fight for a long
time. Men, money and arms are
plentiful. She thinks that Germany
is being supplied with food from the
Scandinavian countries, although in
Norway she was not compelled to
show her bread card. She had to
show it in Denmark and Sweden.

AMERICAN EFFICIENCY.

German efficiency has been held
up as q degree of excellence unat-
.tainable by democracy. There is
little doubt that the efficiency of the
German government in every branch
of the service is revelation to the
world. In comparison to German eff
ficiency 1t is fashionable and consid-
cred an exhibition of smartness to
deride the efficiency Of the United
States. Germany processes to be lit

the Washington government into the
war. But it is now dawning upon the
Teutonic mind that America will de-
eide the fate of the German con-
spiracy and that eventually the terms
of the treaty Of peace will be dict
ated by the great republic beyond
the sea.
That the United States knows
something about efficiency and is in
the fight to win the following ac-
complishments since the declaration
of war on April 5th, is worthy of
note. No government ever accom-

POSTAGE Higher
LETTER AND POSTAL CARD
RATES UP 4 CENT-PA-
PERS TO RAISE.

Persons who have neglected their
correspondence would better make il
a point to not only catch up on the
work, but also write a large number
of letters ahead and mail them before
November 2. For Oh and after. that
date all letters and first class mail
will be charged for at the rate of 3
cents for each ounce or fraction
thereof, according to advices received
by Postmaster VIM. Lowe from the
department. Drop letters, those
mailed in offices for local delivery.
will be charged for at the rate of 2
cents for each ounce or fraction. and
post cards will cost 2 cents to mail.
In the event of having the regular
1-cent card, ii will be necessary to
affix a 1-cent stamp besides the one
printed on the card.
1t is announced unofficially that
the rates on publications-second
class mail-will be raised about Jan
uary /, 1918. This, added to other
Affections gives them a distinct mis-.
cry in the side.
In the demand made by the depart
ment the specific reason for the
raise, or the application of the addi-
tional funds is not given. Whether
it is because of a higher cost of do
ing business, or a way to add revenue
to the Golfers OF the national treas
ury is not explained.
Announcement is also made that
those desiring to send Christmas
presents to men in France should
mail them not later than November
Is. This not only gives the trans
p%ortation systems time for delivering
the goods, but relieves the congested
and overworked system which occurs
each year at the holiday period.

BARN BURNED
ORIGIN OF FIRE UNKNOWN
PROPRIETOR ABSENT AND
CHILDREN AT HOUSE.

Late yesterday afternoon the large
barn of the farm six and one-half
miles northwest of Madison, belong
ing to Mrs. Ella Ketcham, was de-
stroyed by fire. With it were burned
IL tons of hay, 1,100 bushels of oats,
three colts, considerable harness and
some small tools. The farm was oe-
cupied by VIM. Cause, who was away
from home at the time, and Mrs
Cause was working in the field al
some distance from the barn. The
children were at the house. The or
igin of the fire is not known. as the
children themselves were not nea
the building, and saw no one else
about the premises.
The building is described as being
worth upward of $1,000, and was in
sured by the owner. The contents
which were burned belong to Mr..
Cause. and, with the exception of the
hay, was covered by insurance. The
total loss will closely approach
$4,000.

RETURN FROM EAST
EXECUTIVE COUNCIL LISTENS TO
PROMINENT MEN - ALL
EAST PROSPERS.

Yesterday j. w. Walden and wife
returned from a three weeks trip in
the east, where Mr.. Walden went as
a member of the executive council Of
the American Bankers association at
their meeting at Atlantic City, n. j.
After the ending of the session of five
days, Mr.. and Mrs. Walden visited
Washington and New York on their
route homeward.
Mr.. Walden said today that the
whole activity was centered on some
thing connected with the war. The
keynote of the session of bankers. of
whom there were 100 of the exeeu-
tive council and 1900 visitors. was
one of loyalty ana fidelity and sery-
ice to the country in making the war
a success and to win the contest.
Secretary McAdoo, who, Mr.. Walden
says, and is borne out in the achieve
ments of the mans success in former
life, is a most popular man, addressed
the assemblage at length. His speech
was thorough in setting forth the
aims of the government in this war.
and in meeting and providing for the
conditions imposed upon the country.
Lord Northcliff. of England. another
man upon whom great reliance is
placed, spoke to the meeting, stating
in broader and more general terms
the necessities of the allies as a whole
and the broader grounds necessary
for their success, and what that sue
cess would be.
The country of the east is enjoy
ing a great prosperity. our informant
stated. Every person and every in
dustry is busy, and every business not
directly connected with production is
enjoying a patronage and prosperity
never before known in this country.

FRED REEVE WRITES OF THE

Howard Democrat: The Daily Lead
er of Madison is this week installing a
new Miehle press, the latest thing in
printing presses and we hasten to
congratulate the management on its
good fortune. The press weighs over
seven tons and takes a sheet of paper
29x42 and delivers the printed prod
uct at the rate of $500 sheets per
hour. The Miehle press is the last
word in printing, and the writer is
doubly pleased to note the prosperity
of the Lake County Leader, as we
'helped #. C. Stowe get out the first
issue of that paper in Madison in the
fall of 1880, he having moved the
plant over from Lake Herman, con-
sisting at that time of an old hand
press and bunch of old type. Now
the Leader is one of the most COM
plete and up-to-date printing offices
in the state, and doing an immense
amount of business.
