When Bob La Toilette is ranting
about this being a rich mans war
he is only proving himself the rank
est kind Of demagogue. For nobody
knows better than the Wisconsin
senator that wealth, especially
among munition makers, is going to
be hit harder because the United
States is in the war that it would
have been had this country been
able to remain neutral. While the
United States was neutral the mu-
milton makers could charge all they
could get, and they were doing it.;
besides, they escaped taxation nee
essary to carry on the conflict. Now,
however, the United States govern
ment is requiring them to furnish
supplies more cheaply and is also
levying quite tax upon their
property. Yet few shallow minded
people are caught by the clap-trap
of La Toilette and others like him
who are aiding Germany.

Germania, up in Kossuth county,
seems to be another place disgraced
by the presence of pro-Germans, and
United States Marshal Moore paid
them visit few days ago. How
ever, none of the newspapers up
that way are defending pro-Germans
by declaring there is no such thing.
That is a good sign. 1t is different
in the region around about Hubbard.

The move to make foreigners
fight or leave the country is an out
burst of the natural feeling that the
institutions of liberty should be
available only to those who are will
ing to help maintain them.-Sioux
City Tribune.
And the Freeman Tribune hopes
''the move" is pushed along until it
becomes effective. Every pro-Ger-
man in the United States ought to
be made to do his bit for Uncle Sam
or be sent out of the country
shipped to Germany, where he would
have to fight or be lined up against
the dead wall and shot. That is the
German way Of dealing with slack
ers, and as these pro-Germans APP
pear to like the German way, let
them have an opportunity to test it
at close range.

of pro-Germans there. They are
also broadcasted over Germany to
show that the United States is di-
vided in it's allegiance.


The pension and insurance bill
now pending in congress is an at
tempt to determine and announce in
advance what provision the naticE
will make to care for the veterans
of this war and their dependents.
1t is well that action has been taken
thus early. The duty is one that
the nation owes to it's soldier citi-
zens ard their families. To exact
the law now will be a source of mem
tai relief to. men at the front who
naturally feel concern as to their

Rat Deadly Disease Carrier.

The Spanish war developed the fact
that the mosq1ito was the carrier Of
yellow fever. writes E. W. Nelson In
the National Geographic Magazine.
Another type Of mosquito is known
to be the carrier Of malaria. The Eu-
ropean war has brought to almost uni
versal public knowledge the fact that
body lice are carriers Of the deadly
typhus and many diseases are known
to be carried by other insects.
Among these deadly carriers Of
death and destruction none equals the
house rat in Its tremendous drain on
the prosperity Of nations by its de-
struction of food and other property.
while at the SHINE time 1t is the dead
Hest of all to mankind as a disease
carrier. Within historic times 1t has
caused the death Of untold millions
Of human beings through its dissent
nation Of the bubonic plague.

A Near Calamity.

Little Mary was being initiated into
the wonders of the Pullman car. She
and her mother left the city early In
the evening. each occupying big cush-
Toned seat In the car. Mary wished
to know at once where they were to
sleep, and after FIVE minutes explana-
ton by her mother she realized that
they were to sleep In a bed. made over
their two seats. which would be COM
pleted by the porter about nine o'clock.
At the next stop a man entered the
car and Mary was forced to give up
her individual seat to him. He had
reserved the upper berth. which she
did not know. The giving up Of the
seat was for a time enough food for
thought. but she finally burst out with
this question:
Mamma. II we sleep here. and all
those other people sleep where they
are sitting. where Is that man going
to sleep?"
THAT man." and the rest In the car
laughed. The explanation process be-
gan all over again.

Coffee Market In Our Hands.

Coffee Market In Our HandsL
Prior TO the trouble in Europe Ham
burg and Havre were the two great
coffee markets Of the world, both re-
ceiving goods from the growers Of all
the world and storing them in wonder
full warehouses to be re-exported &C
cording to trade requirements. Today
both these markets are totally elimi-
mated and 1t IL within our power to
dominate the coffee trade Of the fu-
ture.
Conditions for this are ideal. In the
FIRST place no duty Ii charged on coffee
imported into the United States. Sec
ondly. we are well situated. geo
graphically, to become the distributing
center for this staple for the western
hemisphere and should be the middle
men for this line for the bean grown
In South and Central America and the

Cutting Out Drudgery.

1t is difficult for those who remem-
Der the burdens of land clearing of
years gone by to realize that the same
inventive genius that has perfected
machinery for other purposes has
brought about improvements that
make stump removal thing vastly
different from what it formerly was.
The fact is that modern equipment has
taken the drudgery all out of stump
removal.
The Wisconsin Advancement associa-
tion is spreading information on this
subject all over the cutover portions
of the state and any farmer can learn
something to his interest by writing to
the association at Milwaukee.
The association emphasizes the i'm
portanee of the homemade stump
piler for quick and easy stump disposal
after they are pulled out of the ground.
1t has arranged for the manufact-
ure of the iron parts and the wood
portions can be taken from any farm
in the cutovsr regions. Blue prints are
supplied to make the construction easy
The cost of the iron parts and cable
is only $50. 1t bids goodbye to drudg-
cry in land clearing.

Attempt Made to Burn Building
Occupied by T. F. Moore

An attempt was made to set fire to
the building occupied by 7. F Moore's
saloon last Thursday evening about $50
o'clock. Some person or persons had
poured quantity of.kerosene between
the studding of the wood shed attached
to the building and set fire to it. The
fire had just started to burn when some
boys coming from the pool room noticed
the blaze and called the men in the sa-
loon. The fire was put out before any
damage was done. A beer bottle part
ly filled with kerosene was found near
by. Had the fire gotten start it is
quite likely that not only the saloon
building but the Anderson shoe store
and Kommers store would also have
been destroyed.
