GIVES ALL TO HIS COUNTRY
The Story of Richard Prokop, Real
American, Now on His Way
to France.

Madison, Wis.-The story of Rich
ard Prokop should never be forgot
ten in Wisconsin.
Private Prokop-he is on his way
to the front as member of the ar
tillery branch of the regular army
and soon may be Somewhere In
France-may never know or believe
that he is anything more than patri-
otto young man, but his story should
be made to live.
When the war is over Wisconsin
will possess her quota of heroes who
will receive the credit that is their
due. Private Prokop probably will be
| forgotten then. So let his story be
told now
This young mamie is only 22-did
not know much about America when
he left Bohemia four years ago. He
had been told that it was land of
opportunity and he came.
He worked at farm work four years,
and the other day he registered for
service. Then he enlisted in the reg
ular army for the war.
He had saved $3.50, and it was in
bank drawing four per cent interest.
He drew it out and bought $500 worth
of Liberty Bonds, which pay 312 per
cent interest, but 100 per cent in sat
isfaction that the owner is doing
something for his country.
Private Prokop may give his life
for his country, which he has learned
to know in four short years as the
greatest country on earth. When he
went away he said he was glad to
have that opportunity.
He has given his savings to Uncle
Sam besides.
When he left for the front every
man in the office of the State Council
stood at attention until he had passed
through the door.

HE'D RIGHT TO BE MAD

The Hutchingson Leader says in~re-
gard to one Of its citizens: He re-
turned from trip to Lake Jennie the
other day mad enough to commit murder.
Along the shores of the lake he saw the
remains of dead and half dead frogs, the
victims Of professional frog catchers
from Litchfeld who are nothing less
than fiends in their Indifference to suffer-
ing. They use pair of shears to cut the
legs from the frogs, then leaving the
crippled animals to die a lingering death
in agony. Farmers say the frogs live
two to three days and many have warned
these brutes in human form from their
land. a dose of bird shot would be
about what the brutes deserve, but it
should be the duty and pleasure of some
one in the neighborhood to cause their
arrest for violating the cruelty to animals
law.

FARMERS 70 REAP REWARD !. 81 !
FOR HOLDING SEED WHEAT

In every community where spring
wheat was grown this year there are
farmers who are willing to hold seed for
sowing next spring, but they do not feel
that they should hold the wheat thru
the winter and sell it next spring for
seed at the government fixed price.
It is not necessary that they do so. f
would not be fair to expect it.
Any farmer who has good wheat and
can hold it for seed until next spring
is urged to do so. While sale for seed
will not be guaranteed him he will be
allowed to sell on the same basis as the
seed dealer, namely at a profit Of not
to exceed Is per cent, or from twenty
five to thirty cents a bushel. There is
no chance of getting speculative profits
but the pay will be renumerative.
It is desirable that farmers do this in
many communities where there are not
proper storage facilities to keep wheat.
separate in elevators and seed houses.
Mach can be done by farmers to pre-
serve the purity Of seed Of good quality
by keeping it in their own bins until
seeding time.

Miscellaneous Hurt
HIS OlVm Cause.

Two weeks ago, at the Sleepy Eye
meeting at which plans were made to
push the sale of the Liberty Bonds in
Brown county, an address was made
by S. B. Wilson, prominent attorney
of Mankato. If Mr.. Wilson had re-
manned at home the sale Of the bonds
in the county, at least in the farming
districts, would undoubtedly have been
much greater than they were.
Mr.. Wilson devoted a greater part
of his speech to attacking President
A. C. Townley of the National Non
Partisan league. Had his attack on
Mr.. Townley been confined to the truth
he would likely have done less damage
to the cause of the Liberty bonds, But
he didn't. In order to carry his point
he even went so far as to quote from a
monthly paper published in st. Paul
by so-called Non-Pa Partisan league, and
attempted to make his hearers believe
he was reading copy Of. the National
leagues official organ. If Mr.. Wilson
believed that the members of the league
who were present at the meeting were
fools, minus any sense and would
swallow all he had to say, he was certainly
much mistaken. In quoting from alleged
non-partisan sheet Mr.. Wilson attempted
to show that MI. Townley's own party
orosn renudiated him. - X sz5
There were a number Of farmers at
the meeting who went there filled with
enthusiasm for the. Liberty Loan, but
went away very much doWncast and
discouraged at the treatment they had
received at the hands Of the: principal
speaker. -. =. ~: :
1t is pretty generally understood that
Mr.. Wilson is itching to be- candidate
for governor next year. Unless he
uses different tactics in the future than
he displayed at Sleepy. Eye it is pre-
dicted that he will stand about as good
show for the job as would snow ball

BEING An EDITO DR..

Every body can edit al newspaper
better than the. editor. People who
can wiggle their ears. Of course, il IS
not everybody who Is foolish enough to
try it. And still fewer there are who get
a chance. s
An evangelist in Pittsburg, Kan, did.
For one short day really too short q
time for anybody to wreck paper he
sat at the editorial desk Of the Pittsburg
kan. Sun scrubbed copy and pre-
s,lmably learned from the copy boy how
to write head and not to use both sides
of the sheet.
For one day news and announce
ments Of card parties, divorce cases and
dances were excluded from the paper.
"A cloumn and a half editorial attacking
Christian Science was printed on the first
page. "A steamer" ammo uncing that Pitts
burg needed a Moses was etnblazoned
across the top Of the sheet. s8
And no record of loss Of subscribers
is announced, this phenomenon being
explained, we presume, by the fact
that the ass who posed as editor for aday
printed two column picture Of himself
on the front page with the important
confession that he was the guilty party
for what was to be seen on the paper
and that with the present issue his
editorial spree was ended.
It would be interesting to know
what would happen to the newspaper
business if it became a custom for
editors to occupy two columns on the
first page with their face, to scream for
Moses instead Of printing the news and
fill up space not otherwise occupied with
attacks upon religious sects not their
own. 1t would be interesting, also, to
note how quickly some people could get
over the fever Of telling how news
paper ought to be run if they tried it
once without promising their readers
to quit forthwith. ST Paul Pioneer

L1Follehe Defes HIS Crtscs5

That all the world has it's hand turned
against Senator Robert M: LaFollette
and the stand he has taken, was proven
untrue during his recent speech in the
United States Senate. The senate gal.
leries were packed to their utmost and
the applause that greeted the Wisconsin
senator when he drove home the rapid
fire thrusts at his traducers, the applause
was hearty and sincere. "
Senator LaFollette declared that the
*'war party, besides carrying on a cam
paign of libel and character assassination
against members of congress who voted
against the war, was attempting to sup
press discussion of war issues and init
midate the people themselves by invad-
ing their homes and unlawfully throwing
them into jail. ='.s s. e ! :.:@
The senator quoted at length from the
Mexican war speeches of Lincoln, Clay,
Webster and Summer il support Of his
defense of the right Of, a member Of con-
gress to assail the policy of the govern
ment, and dwelt at length upon the
constitutional duty of congress, rather
than the president, to proclaim the
nations purpose in taking up arms.
"Six members of the senate and as I
recall, about eighty members of the
house voted against the declaration of
war;" Senator LaFollette said. ''.Im-
mediately there was let loose upon
those senators and representatives a
flood of invective and abuse from news
papers and individuals who had been
clamoring for war, unequaled, I believe,
in the history Of civilization"
Prior to. the declaration of war,
Senator LaFollette declared, every man
who had ventured to oppose our entrance
into it had been condemned as coward
or worse, and even the President of the
United States had by no means been
Immune from these attacks. Since the
declaration of war the triumphant
war party has pursued those senators

wa, with malicious falsehood and reck-
less!y libelous attacks, going to the ex-

against their country. 81

Barbari;sms IN, America

According to newspaper dispatche
barbarity is lracticed in our own Unitet
States, one Of the most diabolical case
occurring within short distance of tn,
city of Cincinnati last Sunday night
While entering a hall at Newport, Ky.
to deliver a lecture shortly before
o'clock Sunday evening, Herbert S
Bigelow, the well-known lecturer anc
preacher, was seized by band o!
bandits, clad in the garb Of the Ku Klua
Klan,:. who handcufed their victim
placed him in an automobile, and drove
to a dense wood some twenty miles
distant, where they tied him to a tree,
and Shorsewhipped him, using a heavy
blacksnake whip for the purpose. He
was then left to his fate After some
time he succeeded in freeing himself,
end wandered around in the woods for
the balance of the night. When day
light appeared Mr.. Bigelow was able
to see a church tower above the trees
and made his way to a small town which
proved to be the village Of Florence ,lKy.,
some twenty miles from Cincinnati.
He was there given medical attention
and his friends in Cincinnati, his home
city, were notified Of his whereabouts.
Mr.. Bigelow was severely treated by
the brutes, who it is presumed will defend
their action on the ground that they
were practicing patriotism. .
Mr.. Bigelow is very wall known in this
city, where he has lectured on two or
three occasions, his last appearance
being here about a year ago, when he
delivered lecture in one Of the Lyceum
course numbers, given under the auspices
of the Current News Club. 81,
