/ LITTLE WILLIE'S LETTER.
He who courts and goes away
May go counting another day.
So says Willard, and I expect he
is right. Poor Little Willie has not
been married because no one loves a
fat man, but he is feeling better
now that he sees others being left
alone in this cold, cruel world, with
no one to love them and Winter com
ing, too. What will Willard do with
all the candy he wins on the punch
board? But he will find some one
to eat him up-I mean his candy.
Let him call, girls, you will have
p,enty candy for the winter and then
you're sure to get a husband in tho
Spring. There Is time in every
mans life when he meets some one
who gets the best of him from the
start. We had the pleasure Of meet
ing lady last week with "eyes
divine" We wont tell who, but
believe me, she has some eyes, and
we have in our short life, seen some
eyes, but never before any like these.
Any man should be proud to have
such eyes look with favor upon him.
I had one good look into those eyes
that haunt me still. OF course, I
never forget that no one loves a fat
man, so what's the use! Oh! What's
the use?

The party enjoyed the trip and re-
turning to the city Mr.. Brooks told
the Judge he might ask his guest in

Going some, Judge.

"A German Hal-

Three years ago Germany be-
gan this war for the conquest OF
middle Europe. What has she gain

She has gained by her arms the
territory of Belgium, Luxeburg,
Serbia, small but rich section OF
northern France, and parts of Lii
tijuana, Poland and Rumania-a
total OF little less than 204, 1000
square miles.
She has lost:
Except for an insignificant cors
ner in southern Africa, all her colo
nies, more than a million square
miles.
Practically all her shipping not
bottled up in Bremen and Ham
burg, loss estimated in tonnage
at 100000.
OF the flower of her youth, over
two million.
In cash, nearly twenty billion
dollars to be added to her national
debt.
Before the war, though unpopu-
lar as people, Germany was hon
ored among all nations for her in
telectual scholarship and her in
dustrlal efficiency. She has lost
irretrievably this respect and won
IN It's place The mingled hatred and
contempt OF the civilized world.

POULTRY FOLK
HOLD MEETING
Exhibition VIII Be In BaraboO in
January---Changes Made in the
Catalogue

At the office Of County Clerk F. A.
Cooper on Thursday evening was held
the annual meeting Of the Barab0o
Valley Poultry association, at which
preliminary arrangements were made
for the show. This annual event will
be held in the first week in January,
next It opens on Wednesday, Janu-
airy 4, and continues for four days.
A few changes were made in the
catalogue, and it is hoped to induce
an unusually large number of farmers,
amateurs and youths to make eXhib-
it's. The room for holding the show
has not yet been secured, but it is
hoped to get a downtown location.
All indications point to an even bet
ter show than that of last winter,
which was accounted excellent by
those who saw it, Baraboo city some
what failed to appreciate the show un-
til after it was over and it is hoped
that this year will bring a crowd while
the fowls are on exhibition.

Serious Conditions Over Food, Out
come Of War and Worry Over
Future Trade of World---Aus-
tria Holds Firm

At Berne, Switzerland, there has
just arrived from Germany a natural
lied American who has lived in Ger
many throughout the war, worked in
German seaport cities, passing for or
being considered a German subject,
mingling not only with the common
people, but having occasional access
to the councils of the high.
In his opinion Germany is suffering
acutely now, and dissatisfaction and
worse reign in certain strata of her
army and navy. Recent mutinous up
risings have had to be sternly re-
pressed and. the mutineers shot.
Thoughtful Germans, he thinks, COM
prising men Of the Ballin type, is des-
perately anxious for peace and secret
ly anxious to end the war before
America has been utterly alienated.
Economic Situation
"The economic situation in Ger
many" he says, "is far worse than
anyone on the outside realizes, is so
critical that for one look for a break,
a collapse, next spring or late in the
Writer. Nor are the good crops that
one hears boasts about every once in
so often going to change the situation
materially.
Throughout the German people
there is what amount to a hatred Of
America, and this hatred has been
carefully concentrated on President
Wilson, because it is easier to hate a
man than a nation, especially a ma
ton that is the home of pretty nearly
eveTyone's relative.
Big Men Do Not Hate America
But the big men Of Germany, the
meaf who have to look ahead and guide
the empire after the war, do not hate
America. They feel too keenly that
they need America, and they would
like to stem the tide of hate before it
becomes mutual and the United States
is alienated, perhaps for all time.
"They know that after the war
there is only one country in the world
where they can get the money they
need-America-and they are worry
ing plenty nowadays. They, and all
Germany, want increasingly a peace
that shall specify, among other things,
the right to purchase raw as we'll as
finished materials anywhere in the
world on the same terms as any other
nation
