PROGRESS.

The younger generation, the gradu-
ates of farm colleges. the members of
farmer boys and girls clubs will all
tend to demand a higher production;
to be satisfied with nothing less than
the lettering of former records; and it
will require the development of spe-
cialists in all lines to insure this re-
suit. SO the farm specialist, like the
tribe Of Abou ben-Adem, will. we hope,
go on increasing. He is needed in all
this big land to add fertility and in
crease to the teeming earth.

hood, will become more and more fire.

THE FLEA.

The flea is one of the most annoying
of household pests. In many cases
f1eas are bred on dogs or cats, and the
first thing to be done is to elimina te
the source of supply. If the animal is
not badly infested, insect powder. well
rubbed into the hair, or creolin was h,
may be effective: Remove all carpets
and similar articles and scrub the
floors thoroughly with hot soap suds
or I've, being careful to get into every
crack and crevice. Fleas thrive in dirt
and do not like to be disturbed.

How WISCONSIN Was Trapped.


New York Times; There is this to be
said in excuse of the legislators at
Madison and at Washington who make
Wisconsin rage: If state of undoubt-
ed loyalty and of unusual Intelligence
finds itself grossly misrepresented by
congressman, and by some of its state
legislators. who is to blame? Is 1t not
partisan politics? Doesn't the living
church put it's finger on the sore:
US in wisconsin. The pro-German pro
paganda captured the machinery of the
dominant political party in the state,
as in several other states, last year.
Almost to man those who were elect
ed to congress in this state had made
their campaign on a basis of a frank
avowal of their sympathy with Ger
many. But quantities of guileless, loyal
Republicans in Wisconsin failed to per-
eeive the fact. Because they put high
tariff first, or because they believed in
Grant or Mckinley, or because their
fathers had voted for Lincoln, and had
helped to abolish slavery, they guile
lessly cast their little ballots for the
and these gentlemen were triumphant
ly elected. Now. when in senate and
house they simply vote to carry out
the convictions which they avowed in
eonsin must bear the ignominy that
results. Her loyal citizens ought ret
to have put politics frst in last years
elections.
But we are entirely confident that
the vast majority in Wisconsin is not
only thoroughly loyal and patriotic,
but desires the war carried on in a
thoroughly efticient manner"
No doubt about that vast majority.

Lenden, June 1.-THE casualties in
the air raid, it is officially announced
according to the latest police report
numbered 81 killed and 4s7 wounded
The killed comprise IS men, 1s women
and 20 children. The injured comprise
22S men, 122 women and o. children
No damage of military or naval ma
ture was done.
The east end stood the strain of the
raid well and there was no panic such
as one might expect to find among a
population of this class, which is large
ly foreign. Business was at a stand :
still in many sections for a few
minutes and great thrangs gathered
about the wrecked buildings, but they
were orderly crowds, bent on seeing
what damage the Germans had done.
And there was plenty of damage to see,
for scores TO buildings had suffered
and more than one was still smoking
from fires which the engines were
working upon. In some sections of the
city where bombs had been dropped
traffic was held up almost en- .irely
owing to the dense crowds and to the
work being done by policemen and fire.
men in the damaged buildings. Every
available policeman was called to the
scene, even the night policemen being
routed out to assist in handling the
situation.
Throughout the bombed area there
was steady movement of ambulances,
containing the injured and rushing
them to hospitals. One hospital which
is partly supported by donations from
New York and which has been used
for wounded soldiers, probably got
more patients than any other in this
section. The soldiers did yeomen's
work as the injured arrived, not in
caring for those hurt, but in giving
comfort to relatives who gathered
about the building.
The raid was short lived, but a large
number of explosives were dropped in
rapid succession. The course the raid
ers took can easily be traced by the
damaged buildings, which in many
cases are close together.
In some places a whole block of
buildings is lacking. One school in
this district had lucky escape. There
are a thousand pupils in that school
and fifteen minutes after the little ones
returned to the building from recess
a bomb fell where hundreds of them
had been gathered.
