Upon those left at home. who have

civilization itself. than ever rested
upon the people Of this country IN any
hour Of the struggle from the days OF
the revolution untn this supreme hour
In the worlds history.
These young men will be surrounded
with every possible temptation that
the vilost interests on earth can brinS
TO bear upon them. In their army
training they will be worked 10 the
limit Of physical endurance at times
and then. when their hours or their
days OF rest come. the enthusiasm of
youth will stimulate them to find some
way OF expressing Itself
1t depends upon those Of us who are
not in the army as 10 how many OF
these men will go wrong; how many
will be ruined in soul and body; how
many Will become efficient, splendid

how many weakened, decrepit, broken

There is a call TO conservation. TO
forgetfulness OF self 10 a willingness
to give time and service and money
as freely as the soldier is giving OF his
life.
Every church OF every denomIna'
ton In the towns and cities adjacent
to every camp should be a home for
these men. These churches should
be open thru ;he day and late into
the night.
No man wearing the nations uni
form should be permitted TO enter any
church without having special atten-
ton shown him; he should be made
welcome so heartily that he will real
izc that the people I'm this church feel
like standing with heads uncovered in
his presence.
No man In the nations uniform
should be permitted TO leave any
church on any Sunday without hav-
ing an invitation to take dinner at the
home Of some member Of that con-
gregation.
Every city should throw open its
schools and also It's armories, If it has
any, as places of amusement and Of
rest for these men. II is not enough
that the churches should be open.
The public buildings should be open
TO them, and entertainments of every
imaginable kind, clean and whole
some, should be given, and these men
should be invited, whether they be
men OF high or low society, men Of
education or men without education,
men Of social refinement or without
social refinement, and made to feel
that they are part of the life Of that
community and that the people OF that
community will bend every energy to
caring for them morally, physically
and spiritually.

SUBMARINES AND SOIL FERTILITY
How the War Affects the Farmers Ability to Produce
Bumper Crops.

shiVered with horror-horror at the
very savagery Of the deed, yet few Of
us realized at the time that within a
comparatively short time the entire
world would, in one way or another, be
at the mercy of these newest and most
savage of all implements of war. Least
of all did the American farmer realize
that the submarine menace would have
any effect whatever on his ability to
raise crops and do his bit in the line
Of food production.
But it has The war itself in it's
earliest day cut off supplies of potash.
Now the submarine warfare has re-

WISCONSIN
ASKED To GIVE
BOYS FORNAVY

Milwaukee, Wis, Dec 4-Wiscon-
sin has been called on to furnish 500
young men for the Navy before Feb.
I 20. What shall the answer be? Will
Wisconsin come to the front and Join
the ranks Of the patriotic states that
will respond to the appeal of the nation
in this time Of crisis or will the Badger
state be down by itself in ignominity
at its failure?
The answer depends on the loyal,
patriotic citizens of the state Get
busy and get recruits-this is the
word that has gone forth from the
navy recruiting station in Milwaukee,
Hard work is needed to get the 800
boys, declares Ensign George NJ.
Weichelt, in charge of recruiting in
this state.
Recruiting officers all over the state
are bending every energy to get the
necessary young men to join the navy
and help crush the Hun submarine.
The Council of Defense in each city IS
cooperating to boost enlistments in
the Navy.
The Navy needs 10000 apprentice
seamen and the 800 is Wisconsin's
quota of this number Young men who
enlist in this service are paid $3.50
during the period of their training and
who qualify are promoted to seamen,
second class, and get $3.50. Those
who are promoted to first class get
$3.50.
Opportunities for promotion in the
Navy are greater today than ever be-
FORE" declared Ensign Weichelt 1.-THE
rapid expansion Of the navy opens up
chances for ambitious young men.
Service in the Navy is not only an
honor, it is an opportunity. The young
man who goes into the Navy and
shows willingness to take response
bility and who shows that he has the
right stuff in him is certain of pro-
motion and increased pay"

THE OVERSEAS ACRE FUND.

1.-THE farmers of France are in far
worse condition than perhaps you
know. They have literally lost every
thing except their souls. After the
last retreat of the German army, the
entire countryside was devastated.
No living thing remained, no birds, no
animals, no trees, no crops-nothing.
Wells were poisoned, all vestige Of
their former homes and buildings were
demolished"
Help is needed and needed quickly.
Our funds will be used to buy food,
clothing, farming implements, tertil-
izer, seeds, live stock, building ma
terials, and other necessities as re-
ported to US by the War Relief Clear
ance House. Every gift will be marked,
Given with gratitude and good will
from the farmers Of America-through
their Overseas Acre Fund" The
above statement is from a pamphlet
issued by the Overseas Acre Fund,
which is carrying on a campaign to
help the farmers Of France.

But this doesn't mean that we shall
have no fertilizer. All over the coun-
try there are small domestic deposits
Of pyrites. These can be and are be-
ing manufactured into sulphuric acid
for fertilizer use and it looks as
though there will be enough. But the
freight trade on these domestic pyrites
Is higher than that Of Spanish pyrites,
and the quality often lower. The cost
OF labor In mining is always higher,
and the cost of handling greater.
These facts mean inevitably an in
crease in the cost Of acid phosphate
