NATL FOREST RANGE TO SUP.
PORT INCREASED NUMBERS
OF STOCK

Washington, March 26-Approved
grazing allowances for the National
Forests during the coming season pro-
vide for the pasturing of s,400,155
sheep, 2,l20,145 cattle and horses, and
54,6S0 swine. These figures, compar-
ed with those Of last year, represent
an approximate increase of lll,000
cattle and horses and a decrease of
about 100000 sheep. Grazing experts
Of the Forest Service figure that for
purposes of range allotment one COW
is equal to five sheep. Consequently
the increase Of Ill 900 cattle and
horses is held TO be equivalent to net
increase Of $4,000 sheep, or Of II, 900
cattle, over the total number Of stock
grazed last year.

not enough, turn to the figures OF the
actuaries. See how few men, for in.
stance, reach the period Of natural re-
tirement with enough of an estate &C
cumulated to keep them through the
remaining years of their lives. See
how many are compelled TO toll for a
daily pittance beyond the time when
they should have the privilege Of re-
firing to ease on the income of their
savings or are left stranded because
unable to work.
All industry is built on the savings
Of those who at some time have learn
ed the wisdom of putting aside some
portion of their earnings as an invest
ment. Abolition Of thrift would mean
the abolition of organized business. 1t
would hardly be an exaggeration to
say it would mean the abolition Of civ
ilization itself.
Save-save a. little. Get the habit
Of spending less than your income.
Make some banker your friend. Have
a stake in the community. Stretch the
pay envelope a little farther than
merely TO the next pay day. But a
home. Don't float; anchor!
Trite words, these. Certainly. But
it is astonishing how many people
there are in the United States who
have never taken them TO heart

Sir tombstone Forbes Robertson is the
only instance. One night when Sir

"Why, my son there, who has never

and week later made a sensational

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET

that is so backward that hat can
cover it. It is, Of course, tobacco that
had been put in after the original
planting had been destroyed by hail or
cut worms. 1T is very doubtful wheth-
er lot of this tobacco will reach ma
turity before the frost comes. If it
does, it will be because the frost comes
very much later than usual. The grow
ers, the grain harvest having ended,
are giving every attention possible to
the tobacco, but they are still handi-
capped by the scarcity of help. And
the kind of help they can get is poor
enough. Men of any snap can get such
big wages in munition factories that
they have no use for even the best
farm wages.
All of the new Havana Seed crop has
been housed, and some sales made
around Washington brought % cents a
pound. Broadleaf is not ready for cut
ting and very little will be knitted be-,
fore the early part of September. The
bulk of the crop will not be under cover
until September is nearly over unless
frost scares the growers into cutting
unripe tobacco. Hail has already dam
aged or ruined good deal of tobacco.
SO far there has not been any big hail
storm, but. there have been number
of small ones in different parts of the
county which did much damage all told.
There is no question now about rep
resentatives of a number of big cigar
concerns having been through the
county making offers. AS no sales are
reported, it looks, on the face of things,
as though these agents were only siz-
ing things up. They offered 20 cents.
not laugh at them. It is true that the
growers expect to get 25 cents and
some even have no hesitation in saying
they expect 80 cents.

A NoN-PARTIsAN conference was held
in Milwaukee last week for the pur-
pose of discouraging the pro- German
propaganda which aspiring politicians
are attempting to capitalize throughout
the country for selfish motives. 1t is
the forerunner Of campaign of patri-
otto education. In an address before
this meeting Chief Justice Winslow de-
clared: 'This is war for the preser-
walton of the democratic principle of
government, war to defeat the most
hideous military autocracy which the
world has ever known. an autocracy
which aims to subjugate and dominate
the world. To discuss terms of peace
while that autocracy is still in the sad
die and triumphant is to discuss the be-
trayal of democracy. To find fault
with the aims of our government, to
heckle the president, to stand back
with half-hearted pledges or grudging
support, always combined with an eff
or proviso which emasculates them,
is to give aid and comfort to the enemy
and to strike our own army in the
back -

Mr.. Rogers Wants to Know.

Charles B. Rogers of Fort Atkinson
has been an outspoken admirer of Sen
ator LaFollette. Having been bonn
barded of late with literature consist
ing of anti-war speeches by this senator
and others, and including a pamphlet
against CONSUMPTION sent out after the
CONSUMPTION law was passed and is be-
ing carried out, Mr.. Rogers writes to
the senator as follows:
Before CONSUMPTION was decided
upon | was opposed to it; but now that
war has been declared and conscrip-
ton has been decided upon the only
natural result of sending out speeches
against these policies so far as | can
see is to encourage disloyalty on the
part of American citizens in this war. !"
Mr. Rogers clearly states the right
principle of action for all who believed
as he did, and also clearly states the
natural result" of preaching the
wrong principle. at this time. We are
in the war now, and the plain duty of
every American is to accept the situa-
ton Loyalty and periodically and sup
port the measures adopted and enacted
by the national government for prose
cutting the war to a speedy and sue
cessful conclusion. There is no other
decent way. The principle is so plain
that it does not admit of argument. To
oppose the measures of the government
might in fragrant cases amount to Civ
ing aid and comfort to the enemy, and
the national constitution tells US what
that would amount to.
Mr.. Rogers concludes his letter to
the senator with a question: "Will
you kindly explain to me the policy
back of this distribution of anti-war
literature at this particular timer"
Why ask. Mr.. Rogers? Politics, of
course. There is always the favor of
chemically disconnected and disgruntled
element to be angled for 1t is not a

leans at the present time, but the pol
iticion by profession is not above fish

The exemption boards are finding

of the country are. We can't make
ourselves believe that the bulk of our
Younger men are shirkers, and yet too
large proportion are willing to have
their neighbors bear the burden OF this
war, while they remain at home and
reap the benefits. Very few men are
so indispensable that some one cannot
be found to fill their places. The thou
sands who have already joined the col
ors did not stop to frame an excuse for
staying at home. The true patriot is
one who is willing to fight for his coun-

WISCONSIN leads all middle western
states but one, South Dakota, and is
ninth in the nation in the record for
volunteer enlistments in the army. This
was shown when figures were compiled
in the legislature reference library at
the request of Governor Philip, from
a draft table given out at Washington.
According to that announcement Wis
consin has gross quota of %, 1879. The
number of men in the National guard
on April l, 1917, was 1869. Since that
date 1929 men have enlisted in the
National guard and 1856 have enlisted
in the regular army, making total of
1924. This leaves 1886 to be enlist
ed before the states quota is filled.
Wisconsin has enlisted 81 per cent of
her quota Fifty-nine out of every
10, 200 citizens have gone into the army.

almost as soon as he could lisp. When
but small boy he invented sort of
sextant made Of wood, with sights, a
piece of thread with a bullet at the
end and an indicator for the thread to
swing along.
On a dark night he took his jnstru-
ment outside, and while he sighted Il
to the north star his little sister read
the indicator. "Fprty-fve, Hirdmr'
