Wien we can make compulsory ed
cation apply to high school work,
for we will have high schools that
p pare for life for all the peop'r.
The war has taught MS the Wis
dom Of teaching patriotism ia
schools. We must do this more
efficiently. We must make the
school the community center IN
town and country. The teacher
must be paid for twelve months.
and the school plant must be open
to the people the year round.
The school must have a good audi
forum where community meetings
Fan be held; a library; laboratories
where experimental and analysis
work can be done; and gymna'
Sums and swimming pools where
the physical training Of children
and adults can be done scientif
cally. The tax payer will shud
DER, perhaps, at the cost of such
a system, but if he will consider
the benefits to be derived from
such schools, he will find the price
small. In such a way we can lit.
erally tax ourselves rich. And
here again comes a lesson which
the great war will teach US: that

Fine Bull For Noxubee

Mr.. N. Scales received this week
from the famous Cooper Farm Of Coop
ersburg, Penn, one OF the finest bulls
that has ever been brought to this cour-
ty. He is a son of Golden Ferns Noble,
who, about a year ago, was sold for
$685. 600. the highest price ever paid for
a Jersey bull. The mother of Mr.. Scales
bull is a tested daughter of "Oxford
You'll-Do," whose sire is recognized as
one of the worlds greatest bulls, and is
now the head of the herd Of Cooper &
Son of Linden Grove farm. Coopers-
burg, Penn.
The infusion of this kind of blood into
the herds of Noxubee county means a
great deal. and Mr.. Scales is to be COM
mended and also congratulated for
bringing this animal to the county. No
better bull is to be had in America or
on the Isle of Jersey.

WHAT THE VICTORY OR DE-
FEAT OF GERMANY MEANS

A victory for Germany thai is
conclusive victory and a Ger
man would mean that Ger
many has defeated the world, includ-
ing what the world believes to be
Prussia would be cock o. the walk,
the better part of Germany itself,
and the world would be the walk.
The United States would be merely
part of the walk, and Prussia would
walk upon it.
The United States would first be
a defeated nation and then a con-
quered nation. 1t would take ord
ers from Potsdam-promptly. Ev-
entually it would parade at goose
step. At its head, on horseback,
would be not an American president
but a German kaiser.
The ages of steam and electric
ity have made the world a smaller
place. 1t has grown so small, in
fact, that now it must begin to live
under ORG government. What that
government is to be is the issue of
this war. If Germany wins, the gov
eminent of the world will be a Ger
man kaiser; if America and the al
lies win, the government will be all
the rest of US. Those Americans who
wish to govern themselves are for
the war. Those who wish to be gov
erned by the kaiser are against it.
The lukewarm and the indifferent
are asleep; they do not know what
threatens themin this dream of theirs.
They may wake to nightmares of
reality worse than those of sleep.
The struggle cannot end, and can
but temporarily abat-, until either a
kaiser rules the world or the people
rule themselves. There is no middle
ground; a defeated Germany would
eventually get rid of its kaiser; a
victorious Germany would keep its
kaiser-and keep him over US. Every
American who likes to walk Potsdam
has a chance of enjoying himself that
way some day--so long as there is a
chance of Germany's winning the
war.-Booth Harrington.

The income tax assessed IN Wiscon-
sin this year viii reach about $1,000
900. 1t may be more than this a.
mount. This is the opinion of Nils P.
Haugen, chairman of the state tax
commission, who has been examining
the income tax data for the pres
ent assessment. This would be an
increase of over $l,500,0O0 over the
tax list last year. The taxes on indi-
viduals will be much larger than
previously. Because of the fact that
Wisconsin allows personal proper
ty as an Offset, it is probable that
only about one-half of this amount
will be collected in actual cash.

From one end Of the country to the
other Grand Army posts, boards of
trade and patriotic associations of all
characters are petitioning the United
States to expel him for his express
sions and sentiments alleged to be
disloyal to the country. The Public
Safety commission of Minnesota, with
the governor of the state at the head,
has adopted and sent protest to the
senate denouncing La Toilette for a
pro-German talk made in St. Paul
when the so-called non-partisan
