WOODSTOCK
Popular Minister of Congregational
Church Accepts Call to Canton

The members of the Congregational
chur. h of tbs city ard 6 so he res.
dents of Woodstock and surrounding
country will receive with regret this
week the news of the resignation of
Rev. VIM. Kilburne, as pastor of the
local church.
Early in June the popular minister
will go to Canton, ILL.,, where he has
accepted call as pastor of the First
Congregational church of that city.
The field for his work there will be
much larger than the present one, the
membership being about twice the
size and the city has population of
more than double that Of Woodstock
During the eight years that Mr..
Kilburne has been pastor here he has
won his way into the hearts of the
members of his congregation and
gained the public confidence and es-
TEEN of the people of this city. Few
men are able to reside in community
for the length of time and be as &C
tive as Mr.. Kilburne has been with
out provoking the enmity of some
who do not agree with him, but we
can safely say that this man can go
forth into his new field leaving be-

hind him not single person but who
could conscientiously remark, "He
was my friend" With a pleasing
personality, always carrying a smile
and ever ready to lend a helping hand
and give advice to those in need, he
has been welcome guest in every
home.
Rev. Kilburne has been leader in
all movements for the betterment of
Woodstock, having served as presi-
dent of the Woodstock Public Hospi-
tai since its organization and for the
past two years as president Of the
Board of Education.
Coming to this city from Spring Val
ley, H., eight years ago he has filled
the pulpit of his church very efficient
ly and satisfactorily. Not only among
his own denomination is he revered
and loved but also by the members
of all the other churches, being al
ways willing to cooperate in every
Christian work, no matter what the
creed.
Deeply as we feel the separation
and the loss of so good a man as our
Rev. Kilburne. we congratulate the
city of Canton and the congregation
of the church to which he goes upon
their good fortune in being able to
engage his services. AS a minister
and a man he will fill their every

TOO MUCH BOOZE
BRINGS TROUBLE
AmIeI Kuhn Discharged Shotgun Friday Night
After Reaching Home at South Side
From This City at 6 O'clock.

Amiel Kuhn, an employee in the
Nekoosa-Edwards paper mill at Port
Edwards, who has always been con-
sidered an industrious and faithful
employee allowed himself to get too
much booze Friday afternoon, which
crazed him to that degree that when
he arrived home he was ugly and had
some words with his wife and slap
ped her and she ran over to the neigh
bors and reported to Policeman Tod
Payne her husbands condition. When
Tod Payne and Doc Kickbush arriv
ed on the scene the man was discharg-
ing a shotgun on the outside of the
house. Just what he was trying to
do nobody knows He acted as if he
didn't want anybody to appear near
hispremises. He was arrested by Mr..
Payne and brought to this city and

soldiers in France, and that he was

placed IN the lookup to sober up.
Drink got the better of Mr.. Kuhn and
just what his intentions were and
whether he might possibly have done
his wife some harm if she had not
gone to the neighbors while in that
condition, nobody knows. They give
him the benefit of the doubt and hope
that his intentions were not serious
towards his wife.
It's the same old story that when a
man can't control the amount of in
toxicants that he places in his stom-
ach, he never can depend upon just
what effect that quantity will have on
his brain. This is another illustra-
ton of how good, Woodworking men,
under this influence, is in danger of
doing to those he loves best, serious
harm

because he is not permitted to kill
rabbits in this manner. If 1t were
not for the habit of gnawing young
fruit trees, rabbits would immediate
ly pass into the class OF being the
most harmless creatures that live on
tho farm. But when IL becomes ne
ccssary to kill these otherwise harm
less animals, the States by law
should insist that IL be done in a
humane manner. To take the life
Of any animal by poison bats is a
very improper as well as cruel way
to do it. Dogs are often killed by
poison bats, and this Is especially
true of those that are kept in the
city. A person who deliberately
poisons dogs deserves a very severe
punishment. Those who poison rab-
bits deserve the same. Man is su-
per-being compared to dogs and rab-
bits, but he often is guilty of COM
hitting ten times over the depreda-
tions of these two kinds of animals.
with all his superiority, it is ten to
one that his life would not be as
free from acts which are charged as
depreciation to these lower animals.
This statement is made simply that
the reader who has not already done
so, should put himself in the other
animals place. 1t is annoying to
have young trees gnawed by rabbits,
but there are tree protectors, and
other methods of preventing this.

commendation for the State that

ages more than per cent Of the to-

of delivery of department store mer-
chandise adds less than 2 per cent

SEE THAT THE NEW SEED
LAW Is COMPLIED WITH

The new Kentucky seed law was
enacted nearly year ago and has
leen in effect since September %,
1916. Everybody concerned has had
ample time to comply with it, ye.
it seems there are people who are
rot familiar with it, and some who
intend TO defy it's provisions. Briefly
tated, it requires that all field
seeds, such as those of clover and
pats, must bear a label giving the
percentage of purity and of germi-
nation, and that sealed packets OF
segetable and flower seeds shall bear
the date of filling and the percentage
of termination. Failure to label
seeds properly renders the seller to
a fine of from % to 100 dollars for
each violation. The law was enact
ed for the protection of Kentucky
farmers and seedsmen and this open
letter is an appeal to them to up
hold it by insisting that it be COM
piled with.
DO not receive seeds that are not
labeled as the law requires.
Buy only of people who comply
with the law.
Insist that field seeds be honest
ly labeled with the approximate per-
centage of purity and termination.
Insist that sealed packets of seeds
bear the date of filling and the per-
cent of termination in large type.
If you find dodder, sour dock, or
wild onion seeds among field seeds,
send us samples for testing. 1t will
be done free.
Secure a copy of the law in Cir
cular No. 3 of the Department of
Entomology and Botany, and read il
carefully.

TEXAS REPRESENTATIVE

Boston, Feb. 26.-Opposing a dec.
laration OF war against Germany,
Representative Oscar Galloway, Of
Texas, at mass meeting Sunday
criticized the American soldier as a
violator of civilized laws.
THE army never acts in accord
ance with law" he added. "Do you
remember Sherman's march to the
sea, when he burned Atlanta and vio-
lated every law of civilization? His
answer TO critics was War is hell!'
IF we go into war now our SOL
diers will act as they always have
acted ever since there were any SOL
diers. Soldiers are trained to kill
people"
Declaration of war against Ger

wants to get whack at the victim.
or course" he continued, IAN injury
has been done, but why not be as big
nationally as individuality"
Had we not better stand by our
selves than stand by the PRESIDENT"
the speaker asked, after stating that
the citizens would pay the costs of
war in taxes. President Wilson has
reached the end of his tether, and It
is now up to Congress to act. Let
us give them our opinion to help
their decision"
He criticised newspapers as being
mot perfectly honest" saying that
some were subsidized by munitions

"Sonked" Peas And Bcans.

Reports received by on6ials In
charge of the enforcement Of the
Food and Drugs Act reveal that ow-
Ing TO the great demand and conse-
quent high prices for canned peas
and beans, many Gamers are putting
on the market products made by
soaking dried peas and beans and
then canning them. The process of
soaking gives the peas and beans
much the same appearance as tho
fresh article. Products made in this
way may be wholesome. but, II is
pointed out, they are generally less
desirable than those prepared from
fresh peas and beans. Furthermore,
if the consumer desires the dried
product IL is much cheaper to buy
the dried peas and beans directly
from the grocer and soak them at
home. In this way the same article
is served at Il much less cost.
The Food and Drug Act does no.
prohibit the sale in interstate or for
eign commerce of canned soaked peas
and beans, provided the label on the
cans indicates plainly and conspicu-
ously that the contents are made
from the soaked, dried product. Con-
Bumers can learn by carefully read
ing labels whether they are getting
n product that was made from the
dried or from the fresh peas and
beans

alton. The popular feeling is that
all property should be taxed at a unit

provision has seemed so self-evideut
Chat il has been put into more than

who have studied the question thor
oughly. however they may disagree
about other principles, agree that
uniform tax rates on all classes of
property are neither scientific nor
Just.
The one great underlying principle
OF taxation which this country needs
to realize is that natural resources
and social values that is, values
created by the increase of population
and the general devolopment--sho should
be taxed at o higher rate than wealth
produced by the llhor o. individuals.

the building of new road or the de-

these are preposterous things.
Some day there will be general
recognition of this fact. In the
meantime the tax reform most ur-
gently needed is probably the segre-
cation of state taxes from those Of
countries. II the state raised all its
revenues from iudicious income and
inheritance taxes, for example, and
from the taxes levied on railroads,

hired man who had saved up a Few
hundred dollars, which he invested
in registered Belgian mare, This
mare proved to be an exceptionally
good brood mare. and two of her colts
were good enough to win prizes at
