the territories are relinquished by the
retreating Germans. This means seeds
and tools lumber, glass and thousands
of cargoes OF the material of rehabili-
| tation.
| In stricken France alone It is estim-
| ated that fully six hundred thousand
persons are suffering from tuberculosis
as result OF the trench warfare. Mil
lions OF men and women and children
within the border OF Russia and Poland
are hopeless and comfortless. To bring
relief to misery, to restore commune
ties, to take care OF the wounded OF our
own armies. soon to be somewhere IN
France, would require that the Ameri-
can Red Cross be carried to degree
| OF organization never before seen. For
so gigantic a mission of mercy as here
contemplated probably $50O,O00,O00
would not be too great a sum.
Story The Cables Are Telling.
| The general nature OF the task before
| the Red Cross has been indicated. But
no absolute budget can be made for 1t.
! To give concrete idea Of these real
and present needs: The American Red
Cross has representatives In France
acting In co operation with the French
government officials. A recent cable
from them asked immediate shipment
of fifty more ambulance transport sec
lions (having total OF 1880 cars),
merely to replace those that have been
destroyed in France. But we shall need
! to organize many new ambulonce sec
tons, calling for thousands of automo-
biles and trucks.
| That was only one item. They asked
| for five sanitary trains, each with its
staff of doctors and nurses. A few more
| things wanted at once were:
| 5000 stretcher bearers.
| 5000 nurses.
| 100000 pairs OF woollcn socks.
| 100000 blankets.
| 10000 kilos of aunine.
| 10000 kilos Of cod liver OIL
| 10000 meters of oilcloth, etc.
| These are only immediate urgent
needs. They do not begin to measure
the total that will be needed as the war
| goes on. Other cablegrams like that
will keep coming right along.
! And this Red Cross work will not be
! pure charity In the districts ravaged
! by retreating Germans seeds. machin-
cry animals, buildings ETC. are need
| ed merely to enable these people to be-
gin again the processes OF self support.
| This will amount to adding just SO
much man power to the French army
itself. for whatever we can do toward
succnring their stricken sections will
| have to be done to the neglect oil the
army.
| Army Of Million to Care For.
| Within a few months we shall have
| an army OF a million and navy OF one
hundred and fifty thousand men. They
must be cared for We must provide
doctors. nurses. ambulances and sup
plies of every sort
The management Of such numbers OF
Young soldiers in land where they
| have no home or amusement, except
such as we can provide. will bring
some extremely delicate but extremely
important problems affecting not only
their health and welfare but the well
fare OF this country when later they
come back here. Wholesome recreation
must be provided for these boys abroad
Fand it will cost a great deal OF money.
Experience in this war with troops
from over seas has shown the enor-
nous Importance Of this problem, and
it must be faced,

SCHOOL NOTES.

At meeting of the Freshman class
last week Frances Meserole was elected
secretary and treasurer to succeed
Willie Schmitz, who has left school.
Mary Kieffer has withdrawn from
school on account Of sickness.
Miss Cozzens and Mr.. Rood were in
attendance at the Southern Wisconsin
Teachers convention at Madison Fri
day and Saturday
Miss Elsie Springer, 10. and Miss
Winifred Lewis, both teachers in the
Fennimore schools. were visitors Mon
day.
Last Tuesday night many of the stu
dents attended the Mineral Point
Dodgeville basket ball game at Dodge
vile. They are now eagerly awaiting
the return game to be played in this
city on March 2. The team goes to
Hollandale Saturday.
Those who witnessed the basket ball
game between Platteville and Mineral
Point Friday night saw one of the best
games of the season. Although we
lost by a rather one-sided score, 28 to z.
the game was the hardest fought bat
tie seen in Mineral Point this winter.
Our boys are gradually overcoming the
handicap of inexperience and are put.
ting up game fight. The Platteyilie
boys were gentlemenly lot and deserve
a good deal of credit for their actions
during their stay in the city.
A few parents have visited the high
school lately. We wish that every
parent who has child in school would
visit classes at least once during the
year. 1t would show an interest in the
work of the schools and encourage both
pupils and teachers.
The report cards for the fifth month
were given out last Thursday. They

The Lancaster Canning company has
voted to pay the farmers $40 and $12 a
ton for sweet corn the coming season.
This is an increase of So and SO over
last year. The ten dollar price holds
for early and late and the twelve dol
lar figure for the Country Gentleman
variety.
About 5000 cases of corn were can
ned the past season. The stockholders
felt gratified over the showing which
was good considering the poor corn
weather in this section last summer.
About 400 acres were planted last
year, and the stockholders feel that
the inducements offered in better prices
and in other profits should encourage
growers to increase the acreage this
year.

FOR MINE. OWN LAND"

Chicago Herald
The present international crisis has
brought a vital test to the new Ameri-
ca. And America has stood it.
This nation, whose men and women,
were bred in every land under the sun,
today stands out aware of its own unity
conscious Of it's own singleness of pur-
pose, ready to make whatever sacri-
fees destiny may demand Of theirepub-
lie
Within the memory Of those now liv-
ing the United States has been popu-
lated by races lured 10y the call of the
promised land from the corners of the
earth They came here owning a hun
dred aNegiances, tied by the sacred
chords Of childhood's recollections to
sundry governments now alien Here
they built up new feaities. Here they
threw themselves hole-heartedly into
that great endeavor out Of which the
national viii is being wrought.
Today we are a people unanimous.
Some Of US have broken away from el-
der loyahues with that sadness which
men must endure when they are com
PEELED to make an unwilling choice be-
tween mother and wife. But however
great the sacrifice it has been accom-
plished And no finer picture Of the
rebirth Of patriotism has been drawn
than the statement Of the New York
Stats Zeitung, which said:
1T Is 9 good thing to live under the
Sag beneath which this nation may to.

WHY PATRIOTS ARE WANTED

In the face of difficulty and danger
for a nation a great many minor differ
ences must sink out of sight among in
dividuas The stove club critics who
still insist on their right to be heard
find their audience falls away. Loyalty
seems more important than a mans
private conviction that "A mistake has
been made or that he could have done
better than those who are charged with
solemn responsibility. One patriot is
worth regiment of disputatious free
thinkers who desire to be heard 'for
their much speaking Patriotism may
consist in Withholding as well as express
ing an opinion The American common
wealth is unidentified and accustomed
to speak it's meaning freely. No ven
cradle tradition overawes this public
into a respectful silence. But in crit
zeal hour we are of one mind, and we
are members Of one household of faith
and freedom We shall in the last an
alysis be true to the heritage of liberty
with honor, whatever the passing days
shall bring, and we shall stand together

THERE is danger in writing bank

Such practice is an invitation to for
geries and frauds by INSCRIPTIONS per-

KELLY TRIAL BEGUN
Tell OF Finding Of Bodies
of Ak Murder Victims.
az AssocIated Press.l

Red Oak, Ia, Sept. I4.-Five wit
nesses testifying in the trial OF the
Rev. Lyn George Kelly in connec-
ton with the Villisca ak murder, told
of the manner and condition In
which the bodies OF the victims were
found. Introduction Of testimony
began shortly before noon yester-
day.
Four physicians and the Villisca
town marshal, the first person TO
enter the Joseph B. Moore home and
view the victims had been examined
before adjournment was taken.
DR.. ]. Clark Cooper OF Villisca, the
first physician to enter the home
with Marshal J. III. Horton, detailed
the position OF the bodies and articles
in the various rooms. His testimony
was virtually the same as that OF DR..
w. A. Tomas OF Villisca, DR.. A. l.
Linquist, former corner, DR.. F. s.
Williams Of Villisca and Marshal
Horton.
During the examination Of former
Coroner Linquist, now commander
OF an Omaha ambulance company
the INJURED ak was introduced as
evidence by the state and was identt-
fed by the witness. The blade, blunt
side and part of the handle show
faded splotches of blood.
DR.. Lindquist said there were no
finger marks on the ak handle which
he said was streaked with blood. He
said the body of the elder Stillinger
girl apparently was the only victim
moved after being slain.
