Tobacco Notes.

M. D. Helgerson of Viroqua was a
visitor in this market Thursday.
HI. S. McGiffin, with the American
Tobacco Co. at Sparta, was down the
fore part of the week to attend the
funeral of his niece, Mrs Jack.
In order to properly mature their to-
bacco seed plats, w. T. Pomeroy &

including tobacco lath and poles, and a
large straw stack on the farm of Mrs.
James Hattleberg in the town of Wind

the straw pile, whether from a spark
from the threshing engine or from a
match accidentally thrown at the base
of the straw pile is not known. The
loss is covered by insurance.

Shall We Be True to Our Boys?

We often wonder if these pacifists,
quibblers, and snarlers at the govern
ment, who like La Toilette, for in
stance, are doing all they dare to do to
hinder and obstruct the prosecution of
the war, we say we often wonder If
they realize what they are about. A
mighty host of our brave boys have en-
listed for the war. Another mighty
host are about to be drawn by the Sc
lective draft. All these hostile efforts
against the government and in favor of
our enemy means treason to our boys.
Their faces are set toward the foe and
there is no help for it. Will we back
them up or will we desert them in this
their hour of peril and need? That is
where the question comes at last. No
matter what we thought about the war
in the beginning; now it is our war for
our boys are in it.
Grave boys are they; gone at their
cOuntry's call" Thus ran the old
patriotic song that thrilled the hearts
of our people in the civil war, more
than fifty years ago. Most of the men
who sang it and who served in that
war are now sleeping their last sleep.
But the glorious old sentiment of 10y
atty to our country and its brave de-
tenders is ever fresh and young in all
loyal hearts. Let US remember that to
be false hearted and disloyal to our
government means Treason to our
boys.-Ft. Atkinson Union.
The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1917-09-07

The full import of the great war in
which our country is engaged is grad
ually forcing itself upon our people.
Every man and woman is called to
serve his country, and to fight for our
institutions and our world independence.
The fact that an insiduous campaign
has been started to lend aid and COM
fort to the enemy by promoting dis
session, organizing strikes and attack
ing our soldiers by various means
makes the duty of every loyal citizen
plain. United and determined, we
shall win victory for our nation and
for humanity. Divided and disorgan-
lied we shall suffer defeat which it
would require a century to recover
from, and that century would be filled
with hardships and encouragement for
the nation and every man, woman and
child in the nation. 1t is time to or
ganize, and organize strongly, that
every person may do his or her part.
Political differences will always exist
on domestic problems, but there should
be no differences in the support of our
government in time of war. In that
we should stand solidly united.-B r
Journal
The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1917-09-07

THERE is only one thing certain about
the financial and commercial conditions
that peace is going to bring and that is
their uncertainty. 1t may be that an
era of great prosperity. may be upon
us: it may be an era of stagnation; it
may be an era of the severest compe-
tition we have ever experienced. 1t
involves paradox, but in this present
time of comparative commercial peace,
for the great war has largely stopped
for time the struggle among nations
for foreign commerce, it is wise thing
to prepare for the economic war that
will succeed the present worldwide
war. It is we'll for every American
citizen to lay aside in some absolutely
safe security something for that day
that is coming. If it be great prosper
ity one will be able to take advantage
of it. If it be stagnation one Will be
able to live through it. If it be bit
ter competition one will be better able
to withstand it.

Our Liberties at Stake.

Against our will, we have been forced
into the greatest conflict ever known.
Our national life and liberties and those
of our children are at stake, and we are
In this war with very meager prepare
ton. Fortunately in the last three
years to supply the allies we have
learned how to manufacture in large
quantities guns, munitions and other
war supplies. This has given us tens
of thousands mechanics and artisans so
trained that large output of these
war necessities can be quickly had.
This will prove exceedingly helpful, as
the amount of munitions required in
modern warfare is appalling. 1t is said
that it requires from six to ten men-in
the industries to maintain one fighting
man at the front. Hence there is work
for all of US.
Suggestions have been made that
men engaged in certain industries
should be exempt from army service.
Nothing could be more unwise or more
destructive to popular government than
to make such exemptions. There must
be no distinction between men in diff
ferent lines of business. Exemptions
must not be made by classes, but must
be based solely upon conditions that
surround each case. The true basis is
universal military training and univer-
sal liability for such service as the in
dividual is best capable of rendering.
This must apply to everyone. In return
for the blessings and opportunities OF
freedom we enjoy, we owe our country
duty that must be paid even if life
must be sacrificed. We have no right
to shirk responsibility and endeavor to
place the burden upon others.
We must win this war, or God help
US. Germany is mighty foe and to
defeat her we must go the limit. If
we do not win, liberty and popular gov
eminent may be lost to the world.
There is one lesson we must now learn,
that we should have learned years ago,
and that is never again to be caught in
a position where we are so completely
unready to defend ourselves.
Without this our national life will
never be secure. There is no assur-
ance that the present will be the last
war. Such predictions have been made
after every war for thousand years.
There is only one way and that is to be
strong and ready. 1t is quite probable
that if we had been prepared the kaiser
would not have trampled upon our
rights and we would not have been
forced into this awful war. Now that
we are in, we must GO through to the
end and the harder we fight the sooner
it will be over. = EX-Gov. Hoard in
Madison Democrat.
