The School Question Again.

! The high school question has
been resurrected, after more. than
a year Of peaceful slumber. Il
seems that it is impossible to
please the people Of Gleason in
every respect. It may be their
love Of variety that causes SO many
changes to be made. At least
we are not satisfied to let things
remain the same for long. The
school was made a chartered high
school more than q year ago, and
as such is running nicely with fifty
pupils in the high school grades
and the new domestic science de-
partment very Furnishing, but
even that is unsatisfactory to all
our citizens.
Perhaps the real cause.-The root
Of all discontent-is the extra 40
cent tax on the property ofthe dis
trict. An effort is being made to
reduce the tax to Is cents. How
ever, if this cannot be done with
out iniuring the school those who
have agitated the move will be re-
,onciled to the old rate, we believe,
ior we are sure that even the most
lninterested person in the district
IAN see the great need of our high
school and will not allow the price

Dairy Cattle Will Be Very
Valuable When the War Ends

H. H. KiIdee, Of the university
farm at st. Paul, Mimi. sees high
values for dairy cattle after the war.
and sets forth his views in the fol-
lowing statement:
"The present shortage and high
cost OF feed and labor and the high
prices for beef. together with the
fact that the prices obtained for
dairy products have not increased in
proportion to the cost Of production,
is naturally causing many good
farmers to reduce the size of their
herds and some TO consider seriously
the selling of all OF their cattle.
IF present conditions continue
there is danger Of a serious shortage
of milk, butter and cheese in this
country as well as in other parts Of
the world. The producers on the
farms and the consumers in the
cities should both remember, how
ever, that the human race is abso-
lutely dependent upon the dairy
cow, not only as a producer of one
Of our most valuable and most neces-
sary foods for people Of all ages and
especially for children. but as a
means Of keeping up our soil fertil-
ity and establishing a permanent and
prosperous type OF IaTTmlnRs essen
tial for this as we'll as following gen.
erations. Consumers, therefore,
should be willing to pay prices in
proportion to the cost of production.
Even then the dairy products would
be among the cheapest OF our foods,
considering the nourishment furnish
ed. Unless consumers can be made to
realize the fairness and logic Of
higher prices the resultant shortage
of dairy products will force the
prices much higher than that re-
quested by the producers.
THE producer on the other hand
will need to know what his cows are
doing so far as amount and cost of
production is concerned. Cows that

Longed For German
Home
So He Went Back: Found Restraint.


So He Went Back. Found Restraint,
From The Milwaukee Journal:
Rather more than a dozen years ago
there lived in Milwaukee a German
citizen who said this country was good
for nothing except to make money. He
admitted its excellence for that, but
declared that some day, when he had
gained his competency, he was gong
back to the old fatherland to spend
his DAYS in peace and quiet, to be hap
py once more with his village friends,
to live his life in sweet content. Like
many another son who has strayed
from his native land, he hoped some
hood home and at last to be gathered
to his fathers among his boyhood
companions.
He made his money in Milwaukee
and returned to the home for which
he had longed through the years. But
somehow when he got back, he found
mfseries he had forgotten during his
absence. He was not free there as he
had been here. He was a nobody there,
held down by the relentless caste
system. Taxes were exorbitant. And
before he had been back two years,
the money he had expended half
lifetime saving in America had been
spent or lost in trade competition.
That German is back in Milwaukee
today. He is an American citizen now,
and happy in his citizenship. He has
no home but America, and there is not
a more loyal citizen in the United
States. He went back to Germany. He
knows where happiness il.
A moral do you want? State 1t for
yourself.
