The State Council of Defense has
taken the first steps towards establish
ing a practice in Wisconsin which will
mean a cash discount for consumers
who pay cash at the store It is based
on the idea that the person who pays
cash for his goods and is willing to
carry his own parcels is entitled to some
special consideration. While the effort
to decrease the number Of deliveries
will be continued, the state council will
at once take up with the retail mer-
chants of the state the idea of the dis
count for cash customers and the prac-
tice will be made state wide.

WAR VERSE.

Elmer Hosken, son of our townsman,
w, 0. Hosken, has proved himself a
splendid weaver of patriots rhyme.
Elmer is at present located in Spring
field, Ill. Here is sample of his
loyalty-ringing verse:
The Government faces crisis my friend,
Needs five billion dollars this crisis to
end
For the Hun is trying with a deadly
embrace,
The Statue of Liberty
To wrench from its base.
The Government issues a liberty bond.
The man with the money is slow to
respond
He has it slowed away in a nice little
place
Under u. S. protection,
And knows it is safe.
Is this man a miser, fool or a crook 7?
Has he no thot of the futures outlook :?
Would his money be as safe in the Hun s
greedy craw
As it is right now,
Under Uncle Sam law?
Would your wife's or mothers or
daughters or friends
Would your fathers or brothers or
sons happiness end
Ii the Hun with his greedy ard lust
worn face,
Had America too,
In his deadly embrace?
Has your patriotism vanished and your
country means naught
That you stand back contented with the
hoard you have got?
Loosen up, be man; be Uncle Sam aid.
Help meet the crisis
With the money you've made.
Let us not let liberty be thrown in the
muck,
When few paltry dollars will help
hold her up.
Let us give up our all for the land of
the free;
The best land on earth
For you and for me-

ENDING OF LIFE JOURNEYS.
MRS. WILLIAM HACK, SIR.

| Louisa Knoblauch was born in Ger.
many Dec. S, 1910, and died in this city
| October 26, 1917. In early life she
came to the United States, and in 1865
was married to William Hack. Sr., who
passed away little over year ago.
For many years they lived in Peru.
LaSale and Pontiac, H., and for a
short period in Iowa. About fourteen
years ago they came to Mineral Point,
which has been their home from that
time.
MIR. Hack served as soldier during
the civil war, and the wife, in common
with thousands Of other women all over
the land, endured the hardships Of
thoss dark days.
Mrs. Hack was a Lutheran in faith,
having been confirmed therein when
child. and remained faithful member
of that church to the last She was a
woman of ambition and sterling char
acter. 1t is beyond the pen of any to
set forth the love or self-sacriticing de-
votion of mother for her children
the iabors, the prayers. the anxiety for
those away from home but we may be
sure that all these and more found
their place in the mother heart that is
now still.

Carrots, Mammoth Carrots

ANY person itching for scrap can
be accommodated by calling at the
Tribune Office and misrepresent William
Berry by saying he can't raise big car
rots, as we have the evidence that he
can, and will defend him to the last
ditch. Such carrots as "Bill" raised
this year could be used effectively as
policemen's clubs, and IL each American
soldier were provided with carrot
equal in size to those of "Bil's" rails
ing, all enemies of our country could be
pounded off the earth never to bob up
again.

FOOD SERVICE is
HELPING MOVE
MENT OF CROPS

The Food Administration authorizes
the following:
The transportation division of the
United States Food Administration has
requested the California railroads to
discontinue the loading of barley in
that state for the present. to make
available the car supply for handling
foodstuffs OF Importance now delayed
on account OF the acute car situation.
The movement of the Washington
apple crop, the largest in the history
OF the state. is to begin at once. The
Yakima. Wena;chee, and Hood River
districts will contribute approximate
~ 1880 carloads. The Food Admin
istration is cooperating with the diff
ferent interests in the matter of car
supply that rapid marketing may be
assured.
A serious shortage of shipping
facilities in the Payette Valley of
Idaho has developed in connection with
the movement of apples and potatoes.
and this question is being taken up BY
the transportation division with the
railroad presidents interested. in the
hope of providing substantial relief.
The New York grape crop Is now I'M
der way, and is being moved rapidly
in refrigerator cars. Arrangements
for equitable distribution were made
by the Food Administration in advance
of the movement. and no instance of
car delay has been reported thus far
The Food Administration is at work
upon the car shortage situation in
New Mexico. particularly to remedy
the livestock blockade in the San Juan
and Pecos Valleys
