Psychology of Sleep.

The psychology Of sleep is vast and
little explored subject. Sleep deepens
to trance, trance to death. Therefore
in life, speaking somewhat paradox
ica1ly, sleep is most akin to death.
Whether the spirit is parted from the
body and goes long journeys through
space or whether it is in state of
one long dream, parts Of which we are
alone conscious of, is a matter for the
Society Of Psychical Research. Yet
many of us have dreamed things, seen
things or even spoken and heard things
in sleep which we have seen, heard or
spoken later on in reality. We can
more or less follow the stages up to
the final sleep of all, but here we must
pause and, with Hamlet, in vain at
tempt to learn what lies beyond the
VEIL "And in that sleep of death what
dreams may come"-London Globe.

If THE government has the foresight
to take up Systematically as perman-
ent policy the training of young men
to the point where they can quickly be-
come effective defenders of the coun-
try, it will not only be invaluable to
those taking it, but it will be the best
insurance for our future safety. Writ
ers and speakers do not give sufficient
emphasis to the benefit the young man
will receive from this training. If one
needs an ocular demonstration of what
military training does for young men,
let him note the fine physique of the
boys in khaki upon the streets today
and compare them with the other boys,
or note the change that has taken place
in the few months of rigorous disci-
pline on the Mexican border, among
the boys he knows. A young man TAX
ing this training will have not alone a
fine physique, larger lung power, a
capacity to endure greater physical eX-
ertion without exhaustion, be better
able to throw off disease, but it will
clarity his thinking. It will make him
more alert, quick to decide, prompt to
act. He will be better employee, will
be able to earn more money. He will
be better able to direct and supervise
men, and will add in hundred ways to
his mental, moral and physical equip
ment. Madison Democrat.

Some Political Economy.

The argument has been advanced
that the wealth and resources OF the
United States are impaired to the ex-
tent of all the money spent by the gov
eminent for war purposes. The argu-
ment is very unsound. There is sharp
contrast between cost to the govern
ment and cost to the people OF the
country.
The United States has sold two bill
lion dollars worth of Liberty Loan
Bonds to the people of the United
States and therefore owes two billion
dollars more than it did few months
ago. When the money for the bonds
has been collected in full the matter
will stand in this shape
The people of the United States will
have loaned their government two bill
lion dollars in return for which they
will have received two billion dollars
worth of Liberty Loan Bonds, which is
as valuable security as the world at
fords. Moreover they will have in
their pockets or their banks the two
billion dollars which they loaned their
government. The government will have
expended part of this money itself and
those European nations at war with
Germany, whose obligations our gov
eminent has purchased with part OF
the money realized from the sale of
Liberty Loan Bonds, will have expend-
ed the other part, and all of it will
have been spent in America for Amer
lean products and in payment of Amer
lean wages.
The resources of the nation, its CAPT.
tai stock so to speak, will not have
been impaired at all. Our farms, our
mines, our factories, in fact all of our
fixed property and industries will re-
main intact. Our people will simply
have sold some of the annual products
of the country, the products of its
farms, the products of its mines and
products of its factories.
Thus the government will have value
received for the money it borrowed
from the people and the people will
have value received for the money they
loaned the government and the pro-
duets they sold their government and
the European nations engaged in war
with Germany.

An aOrderIyn Election.

I was in Puerto Mexico on election
day when General Candida Aguilar was
running for governor of Vera Cruz
against General Gavira. You would
have thought he had at least good
running start by being Carranza's can
didate and engaged to his daughter,
but Candida never takes any chances.
He had two freight trains of decanted
Constitutionalist soldiers, armed be-
yond the teeth, in that town bivouack
ed around the polls and the telegraph
and cable Offices. You had to step over
sleeping arsenals to send a telegram.
The simple job of that soldiery was to
insure constitutional and orderly cleo
ton by keeping the Gaviristas from
exercising a suffrage called by the new
constitution universal. I don't know
first hand just how matters stood in
the other towns of the state of Vera
Cruz, but on reaching Mexico City sew
eral days later read in the capital pa
pers that General Aguilar had been
elected governor by substantial ma
jorities after very orderly" election

A Minister of MAGIC.

In the course of an address delivered
in London Canon Parfit of Bagdad said
that what impressed native rulers in
the east was the scrupulous honesty of
the English officials. The sultan Of
Turkey on one occasion was watching
a conjurer The British ambassador,
who was present, remarked that it was
wonderful
"No," said the sultan, mot so won
derful as all that. I once had min
lister Of marine who swallowed bat
tleship-at least he had the money for
it, and I've never seen the money or

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET
Is Continued From Page ~

understand perfectly market conditions
and are of the opinion that they are
safe in doing bit of gambling on their
own account. They are convinced that
if crop is worth a certain price at
this time to the packer that it is worth
as much to the grower, who will get
more by holding on for higher prices.
A well known dealer told the writer
last week that he believed the bulk Of
the crop would bring at least twenty
five cents, and he expected much to go
five cents higher.
The dealers who have been riding
the county of late report the crop as
being very irregular still, due, as was
stated in previous letter. partly to
hail and cut-worms, necessitating re-
planting, but also too much planting
having been done when the ground was
very wet. When this dried it cracked,
and much stunted tobacco was the re-
suit.

At War Strength.

The regular army has been raised to
its maximum war strength of 300. 900
men by the enlistment since April l of
over 1874, 900 volunteers. The marine
corps, which one year ago consisted of
10000 men, has more than trebled in
strength, and with over 80, 600 enlisted
men on the rolls recruiting has been
stopped. Volunteers for the national
guard have come forward so rapidly
that over $50, 600 men of the state or
CARNATIONS today are under arms.
Nearly 100000 enlisted men in the
navy, 10000 in the naval militia, and
%, 900 In the naval reserves make up a
body of It's, 600 volunteers for sea SER
vice. All told, about $50, 900 men have
been secured for the land and sea
forces of the United States by the en-
listment of volunteers. The first levy
under the selective draft act will not
be called until next month, and men
volunteers are still offering themselves
every day in large numbers.
Those congressman who are COM
planning that the American people are
in state of apathy and display little
interest in the crisis that confronts the
nation should take time to consider the
actual facts. 1t is not mere accident
that hundreds of thousands of young
men in the last four months have joined
the colors. The army and navy re-
cruiting officers reports do not reveal
any alarming Indifference toward the
war. 1t might appear that the people
of this country are better informed and
more alive to the situation than con-
gressmen who daily over their work
and waste precious time in useless de-
bate.-N. Y. World.

DAYTON, O., Aug. 81, 1917.

On Tuesday evening general heavy
rains set in throughout the Miami val
ley, proving wonderfully beneficial to
the new cigar leaf crops throughout
that region. The tobacco has been
considerably late in developing, all sea-
son, and the thorough soaking it is get
ting now promises fine growth and an
abundant yield. Growers are greatly
relieved, as it is believed that the rain
insures the ultimate success Of the 1917
yield. There are trif1ing damages by
hail and wind the past two days of
stormy weather, but not enough to
mar the outlook as in no case is the
loss above the average to be expected
at this time of the year.

THE most popular buncombe in the
United States senate just now begins
with peroration about the boys in the
trenches, our sons and brothers who
have been drafted for duty in France.
Now, we cannot say too much about
the heroism and self-sacrifice of these
soldiers of ours. We know they will
endure great hardships; we know that
many will give their lives for their
country. 1t is easy, therefore, for the
bunk artists to proceed to the conclu-
sion that crushing taxation for the
stay-at-homes is the logical and neces-
sary counterpart of hardships in the
field. Since we cannot fight they would
have us acquire merit by wearing hair
shirts. Yet the bunk artists La Fol-
lette and the rest-ignore all this. They
talk glibly of conscripting the wealth
that is "coined out of our blood"
Democracy offers its life; let plutoc-
racy give its profits" is another fav-
orite line. These phrase mongers do
not stop to consider that every man
who earns dollar is coming money out
of our blood. The farmer who sells his
wheat to the government is doing so
just as much as is the manufacturer
who sells war munitions. The man who
sells machinery to the farmer is
party to this so-called blood coinage.
It is an endless circle. But if there is
any money anywhere that is outside
this circle, it cannot claim exemption,
because there is not single dollar in
the United States that is not secured
by the efficiency of our fighting force.

las was splendid. His letter to the
Milwaukee Free Press is timely and
straight to the point. 'Tell US, if you
please" says the governor to the Free
Press "just where your heart is in or
der that we may know how treat YOU"
Good, governor, put that same question
to some other papers in Wisconsin and
the whole nation will not be pointing to
Wisconsin as a state of abbreviated
patriotism The people of Wisconsin
are right-minded; they are true to the
flag; they are loyal to the country; they
are beginning to see clearly and to un-
derstand the issue. Good work, gov

YOU CAN'T STOP GRIMES.
Lance Corporal, Wounded For Sixth
Time, Will Fight Again.


Lance Corporal Ernest Grimes has
been wounded again, his sixth time.
but says, "I'll soon be ready to go back
and do another bit" Grimes enlisted in
the regular army in 1910 and was
drawn from India when the little army
settled down to the first winter of
trench warfare. His first wound came
at hill 60, when he was hit by hand
grenade fragment. Five months in n
hospital was his portion. The second,
q bullet wound in the arm, took six
weeks to repair. Last summer on the
Somme a shrapnel ball hit Grimes in
the leg and put him away for two
months, and another grenade wound in
the back. suffered in the fighting at
Moquet Farm. sent him to the hospital
for the fourth time
A man with four wound stripes is
usually retired into some noncombatant
Job out of danger if he is still of some
use to the army. But Grimes thought
he could do more damage in the trench
Is. so he went up again and was
wounded in the foot by shell at Les
Doeufs,
His latest wound came In the big
push at Messines. An explosive bullet
hit him in the left leg.
