legs a picked team representing the

When dawn broke over the battle

had not been restful one, for the
Germans threw heavy counterattack
against them that required hard work
to put down with rife and machine

The greatest and most important
service that is required of farmers IN
der the present conditions is an en-
larged production of staple food crops.
In view of the world scarcity of food
there is no risk in the near future of
oyer-production such as has in the past
resulted in Improbable prices to the
farmer. There is abundant reason to
expect generous price returns for all
that can be produced.
Loyalty does not confine itself TO the
shouldering of a musket. It is just as
patriotic service this year to till the
soil better than ever before, to save
waste, to stop losses from disease, and
to utilize every acre that the reduced
labor supply can handle more food

There is every possibility that the

sembly has concurred in the Skogmo
bill providing for referendum on this
subject. AS the bill passed the senate,
it provided for a submission Of the
question at the November election In

ton will be submitted to vote OF the
people of the state of Wisconsin at the
