WEALTH FOR WAR USES.

1t is said that we are worth $3.50, 900,
600, 600 that is. all Of US combined.
This is a lot of money for when most
Of US get much beyond $3.50 we are
lost, because it isn't often we see as
much money as that at any one time.
But the wealth of the United States is
at present in the form Of fixed invest
ments, such as railroads, factories and
farms, stores and houses. And so when
we talk about our country being so ire
mendously wealthy and that we can
fight this war because we have so much
money. it should be remembered that
we can't hit a German on the head with
a railroad nor crack the skull of an
Austrian with house -gruesome bust
ness, true enough, but all part of the
war game.
1t is going to take real money to put
this thing across r not the money already
invested in houses and lands, but the
money we are going to save in the flu
ture.
1t is a question of how much you are
going to save next year in order to buy
another liberty bond IL you haven't
the money now, it means you will have

Farmers have had splendid weather
for gathering their hay crop, which is
extra good, and the hot weather of the
past week or ten days is pushing the
corn right along It's busy time
with oats now, and that crop is also
good. Potatoes are looking fine and
promise a splendid yield, and to make
it the more important the acreage de-
voted to potatoes is said to be about
three times as much as usual. Very
favorable reports on all vegetables are
coming from all directions.

Semi-annual report of the Municipal
Theatre Committee was presented.
Mineral Point, Wis, July l, 1917
To the Mayor and Common Council,
Mineral Point, Wis.
Gentlemen: Your committee in
charge of the Municipal Theatre, here
with beg to submit report of the bus
mess done from January |, 1917 to July
/, 1911 We submit all of our books
and records, and request that you have
them audited.
The past six months have not shown
"A very large business, as your commit
tee believed that it was not wise to put
on very many shows therefore the
earnings have been small. A good deal
of improvement work and some new
equipment was purchased as shown by
the report.
A large number of public speaches,
school entertainments, etc. have been
held in the theatre on which of course
no profit is made.
We wish TO take this occasion to ask
your aid in impressing upon the citi-
zens and taxpayers, the fact that the
Theatre belongs to them.
That we are using our best efforts to
make it success. that we work with
out pay, and that we should have the
hearty support of every man, woman
and child in the city. We invite honest
criticism and will welcome any sug-
gestions. Yours very truly,
F. G. LUDDEN.

Whitewater Register: While this
country may excel in a competition Of
trained athletes or in certain kinds of
mental ingenuity or shrewdness, it is
certain that the average man is far from
being picture of perfect physical de-
velopment, and the lack of self-control
and the extreme contempt for the law
of the American have become proverb-
ial, says New York Medical Record. A
casual inspection of the crowds on the
streets of any one of our cities will re-
veal pale, under-nourished and poorly
developed youths and pasty, flabby men
in large numbers, and will convince the
open minded observer of the desirability
for the individual of some form of reg
ular physical training. That the eoun-
try-bred. moreover, are not greatly
superior to those brought up in the city
has been the experience of most military
men who have had occasion to handle
large numbers Of troops.

Paris, KY, March 23-Acting upon
the theory that two mysteriously act
ing Germans whom he found on the
street here Tuesday night were Cap
tain Chorth and Herman Schroeder,
machinist mate, reported to have
drowned while attempting to escape
from informed German raiders at the
Philadelphia Navy Yard, Chief Of Po-
lice Link locked them up for the
night only to give them their freedom
Wednesday through fear that he was
leaving himself open to suit for false
arrest.
The men have not been seen since
and the supposition is they left Paris
the moment they were liberated.
Chief Link said his suspicious were
aroused when he saw that the men
were wearing regulation United States
army shoes. When he accosted them
they pretended to be unable to speak
English, he said, and he could learn
nothing whatsoever from them. He
later called an interpreter, but he, too,
was unable to get the men to talk.
After having remained in Jail over
night, one of the men condescended
to tell the chief, is broken English,
Wednesday morning that he and his
companions were Poles, and that they
had been working in coal mine in
Pennsylvania. They explained their
presence in Paris by saying that they
lost their jobs in Pennsylvania and
were en- route to Cincinnati.
