WE ARE LEARNING MORE
kinson Union

The war goes gorily on, and we
learn more about the German mind as
the grip of the allied armies tightens
about Germany. 1t begins to be pitt
full. The ruthless bully always whim-
pers when he is getting licked. Ger
many begins to whimper. She is be-
ing cruelty punished, and she can as
yet discern no signs of mercy on the
part of the allies. The weak plea Of
the pope for peace without honor has
that she is made of the same stuff she
was in the great days of Garibaldi.
Austria is about done for. Russia is
gathering for another of her wonder
full drives. France is getting every
thing she goes after. Great Britain
is holding that which she has won,
and getting ready to take more. Ger
many is making no progress, not
withstanding her march to Riga. She
is being whipped. That she is taking
her punishment is because she has
to. The United States is in the war
further than we know We will be
steadily doing our share from now on.
One of these days we will read that
our Sammies were among troops that
drove Germans further towards the
Rhine. And then before long the end
will come Not this fall, but doubtless
before the 1919 New Years day.-The

EX-CONGRESSMAN BURKE
INSANE

The many friends of ex-Congress-
man M. e. Burke of Beaver Dam will
be greatly panied to learn that he has
been declared insane and taken to
Mendoza hospital for treatment. 1t
has been no secret that Mr.. Burke
took his defeat at the last election
very much to heart. He went down
with the rest of his party In this
state before the pro-German effort to
defeat President Wilson, which was an
unpatriotic purpose even if the Re
publicans in Wisconsin did gain by
it. Events have proved that it was
providential almost that Wilson was
not defeated. Congressman Burke,
though a strong partizan, stood man
fully for the election of Wilson on pa
triotic grounds, and we greatly regret
to hear of this sad misfortune which
has Overtaken him.-FOrmer Governor

would be his son or sons, while ii he
had daughters they would be full of
the working spirit? There are two
parents to every child Two currents
of physical and mental characteristics
unite. One may run counter to the
other and so neutralize the best eff
forts. This decadence of character
from father to son is often seen. There
is an old maxim which says: Sons
take from their mother and daughters
from their father" This principle is
much observed by the breeders OF do
nestle animals. 1t is worth a great
deal to a boy to have live, energetic
mother. In such a case it will be
usually noted that she had father of
strong elements of character. So in
reality her son inherits the qualities
of his maternal grandfather. Hered-
ity plays a very important part in the
makeup of humans as well as other
animals. 1t is a wise man who keeps
this principle in mind and we may say
the same of the women-when they
marry. The selection of a life part
ner means a great deal to the result

leaving the trousers to be shortened.
So far, so good. After a bit, along

they do not match rest of suit. Num-
Der Two gets his suit and departs for

EXpectant looks at the waist line of
the garment which was shortened and
to him it seems immense, and might
be doubled once or twice to make a
fit. What of the other man? Well,
he would certainly have to take

Note: The incident related by Mrs.
Dudley recalls the story Of the man
who purchased pair of trousers on
Saturday and found they were a trifie
too long when he tried them on in
the evening. He remarked to his
wife in the presence of others in the
household he would like a section
taken off the bottom so he could wear
them to church in the morning. His
wife remarked she was very busy and
did not know for sure that she could
find the time. Later, however. she
was able to cut them off, and placed
them aside for her husband. Not
long after, the mans sister, who had
heard the conversation, noticed the
trousers and was impelled by a sense
of duty to oblige her brother by am
putating the wearing apparel. All
this was unknown to an aunt who hap
pened to be visiting there and late
| in the night she gave the trousers an
other treatment and as may be mag

FINANCIAL PATRIOTISM

The liberty loan committee of the
Federal Reserve bank of San Francis
co, supporting the appeal for free
newspaper space to help float the new
government ISSUE pleads patriotism to
Franklin A. De Vos, publisher Of the
Chronicle at Smak, Wash. Mr.. De Vos
replies that he is prepared, as we
know is every other newspaper pub
Usher to give away his commodity to
the point of business extinction when
the grocers give their groceries to
feed the army for nothing and other
merchants and manufacturers supply
their commodities free of charge. But
he declines to be picked out as the
only victim of patriotic fervor. 1t
would be interesting to learn from the
Federal Reserve bank of San Francis
co how far patriotism will carry the
banks in the matter of lending money
to their clients for the purchase OF
government bonds. If the new bonds
are to be issued at 31a per cent, will
the banks lend money to their clients
at 311b per cent to enable the clients
to buy the bonds, even if the banks
! are permitted to hold the bonds as
security? And, if the bonds are to be
issued at 4 per cent, will the banks
| lend the money at per cent, holding
the bonds as security? We are dis
posed to think investigation will show
these patriotic banks to be about one
I half to 1 per cent shy on patriotism

buy the peoples securities,-AmericaI

An Unknown Species

One Sunday, as a reverend gent
Was TRAVELLING on his way
This happened in Kentucky
At least so I've heard say
He CHANGED upon a little hut
Beside the lonely road,
And paused there for refreshment
At the humble log abode.
Within, he found the housewife, neat
Busy about the place,
But as for any menfOlks
There was not the slightest trace.
So the preacher asked the lady
Where her husband could be found
And she replied, "Muh husban'
On huntin' trip is bound.
But he'll be hum by noon fer shore,
An eff you'll wait a bit,
You'll be welcome ter tn dinner
Tibet I'm gwine ter git
And so the preacher tarried
And engaged in friendly talk
He spoke about the garden sass,
The fruit trees and the stock
And finally he said to her:
Pray madam! tell it me,
Do you know Of any Christians
In this vicinity?"
"Lor MOI" said she, 81 never seed
Ner heered NV SIGH afore,
An EFF thar wuz en- 'roun' yere
| think | would, fer shore,
Fer when muh man goes huntin',
He alus shoots an kills

Thet is foun' in these yere hills,
An EN- he takes an nails their pelt
on tn cabin roun' aoutside,
An EFF he's got Christian thar,
Yo sure kin fine his hide"

Aid For Belgian and French
Refugees

At a meeting of the local Red Cross
society at the high school on August
2, when Mrs. John Olin of Madison
explained the relief work being done
there for French and Belgian refu-
gees, arrangements were made for
similar work in BaraboO. Since that
time three large boxes of clothing
have been sent to the American Girls
Aid i'll New York city, whence they
will be taken to France on French
ships free of charge. The transporta-
ton charges to New York on the 455
garments in these boxes were about
two and one-third cents each, making
total Of $1,000. More boxes are to
be packed and sent, and everyone
who can give even one or two things
is urged to do so.
There are thousands of destitute
people in the recaptured parts of
northern France, who need clothing.
No matter if the garments are old
fashioned, as they can be made over,
and numbers of poor women, whose
men folks are in the trenches or are
dead, and who have children to sup
port, are thus given employment.
Shoes that we call worn out are
mended and used gladly in France.
Pieces of cloth sometimes left over
from the making of your own gar
ments are utilized in making chill
dren's clothes. Underwear, warm
caps and mittens, in fact anything
that is clean, can be utilized.
Contributors are needed also to
help pay the transportation charges.
A volunteer committee has been do
ing this work and has lent the neces-
sary funds. Money or clothing may
be left at Stanley's store or brought
to the Red Cross meetings on Thurs
day afternoons. If one does not real
ize the pressing need for these gifts,
he should get a copy of "The Out
look for September 19 and read "The
Refugee" by Dorothy Garfield Fisher.
If you are not then ready to give
your old shoes" for the relief of these
oppressed people, you surely have a
stony heart.

IF WE ARE DEFEATED

Governor Lowden's forceful remarks
about the necessity of winning this
war deserve repetition. After refer
ring to his desire to go back to his
farm when he retires from the gov
ernorship he said: If we don't win
this war l don't care what happens
to my fields; nothing on earth mat
tiers unless we win in this worldwide
conflict"
: We recognize that winning the war
is a rather broad phrase. 1t is an ex-
pression that might apply to smash
ing military victory or to the triumph
of our purposes in entering the war
without necessarily beating Germany
to her knees. In the sense it is used
bv Governor Lowden we believe he
means that winning the war involves
primarily warding off defeat, making
sure that we do not lose.
If we should suffer defeat, if the
force of our. arms and those Of oul
allies should disintegrate, then, AIS
Governor Lowden says, we should find
that nothing on earth matters. Oul
farms, our factories, and our homes
would avail us nothing We've got tc
win because we can't afford to lose

Senator La Toilette is much hurt in
his tender feelings because the news
papers misrepresent him. Do they,
though? An angry recipient of his
pamphlet, "War with Germany" sends
the thing to us, and it reveals the
same La Toilette as the newspapers.
1t is his address in the senate on We'd
nesday, April 4, 1917 He has not
changer since. Nor does he pretend
to have changed.
That the senator had a right to ar
que against war before war was de-
clared, no one denies, but it then be-
came his sphere to quit arguing
against war He has not quit. He
goes about denouncing the war from
public platforms. Not content with
that. he has had his senate address
reprinted tat his own expense, we
shall assume unless proof arrives that
Germany foots the bilD, and is circu-
Iating it at government expense. It
came franked.

mate and now seditious speech through
the mails, but legally there is a way
to restrain him from continuing SEN
