The affairs of the Brown County
Agricultural society, financially speaking,
are in a more prosperous condition to-
day than ever before. This fact came
to the surface Tuesday night of last week
when the annual meeting of the stock
holders of the association was held in
the Commercial Club rooms and many
were the fluctuations that followed.
Report Shows Big Balance.
When Secretary VIM. E. Engelbert
had finished his financial report many
of the stockholders were amazed and all
highly pleased with it. One year ago
the secretary's summary showed cash
balance on hand Of $126.63. This year
the figures, $2,544.24, demonstrate that
tie society is being capably managed and
its present prosperous condition reflect
great credit upon those who are at its
head.
In addition to the above cash the So
ciety has $4,000 loaned On gilt-edge
security and expects to be reimbursed
by the state for the 81 ,203.5O paid in pre-
miums. This brings the total to sc, 147.-

materials to construct the 5000 build

5O,2S0 men. The completed canton-
ment covers 1000 acres of land. The
state of Iowa owns part of this ground
and the government owns few hum
dred acres, but the greater part of it
is leased from the farmers who re-
ceive $14 an acre yearly rental. In
addition to the land used for buildings
must be added 1000 acres more that
are used for the artillery range; this
fan-shaped piece Of ground extends
five miles northwest of the cantonment
proper. Farmers have all moved out
OF their homes and soon three-inch

LIBERTY BOND SELLERS
RECEIVE NO PROFIT

A great many persons seem to be
concerns which are handling Liberty
loan bonds are making a great deal of
money out of the transaction, and that
much money is being poured into
bankers and other hands to their
great gain.
the case, and the bankers of Water
town are practically giving their SER
vice gratis to the public in taking the
matter in hand.
In the first place, as a matter of bus
mess, banker would scarcely, from
which obviously lowers the deposits
of his institution. This Is the fact In
the case Of the Liberty loan bonds for
the money paid for the bond comes
out of the depositior's amount and
lowers the showing Of the bank. But
on the other hand, the buyer of the
bond is getting security as good as
gold, and which he can always turn in
at any time.
And there is another feature which
is help to the community, and that is
the fact that a great deal of the money
spent for Liberty loan bonds will come
back to Watertown in different chan
mel There are a number of concerns
here who now have government con-
tracts to manufacture various articles
to be used by the U. s. army, and
Liberty loan bond money will have to
come back to Watertown to be paid out
in wages to men who are living here
and have families.
Then the farmer and the man who
lives in the city is benefited directly,
so the banker is the last one to bene-
fit by the selling of Liberty loan bonds,
although he is spending his money for
advertising and publicity, and urging
one and all to buy.
Help your home town-your home
industries-by investing in a Liberty
loan bond today.

Value Of Cottage Cheese.

A pound of cottage cheese contains
as much protein as IN lbs. of sirloin
steak or 11a lbs. pork chops. Protein
is matchmaking material and there
is need of good supply of it in the
working mans diet. Meat is largely
used for the protein 1t furnishes. The
present prices of meat are leading
people to consider other sources of
protein, and cottage cheese is sure to
be one of the foods selected to supple
ment meat when it's value is known.
1t should be said that cottage cheese
does not contain as much energy,
Matchmaking material, as meat, but as
it contains more protein than meat
is as valuable food as meat. 1t is not
only food for the working man but
also an excellent food for those doing
light work or leading a sedentary life
From 100 pounds of skim-milk or
butermilk Is to 20 pounds of good cot
tage cheese can be made. The expense
and work of making it on large scale
such as could be provided in a cream
cry, are small. The farmers wife can
easily supply the family of the farm
with this nutritious product and in
many cases can find q ready market
for considerable amount in the city
City people like cottage cheese when
it is good, and will buy it If the price
asked for it is not too high. Selling
little amounts of cottage cheese in
fancy packages Nor 10 or Is cents has
made 1t relish rather than a food
and we have heard people say it is
more expensive than meat when OBJ
tanned In this way. We would enter no
protest against putting up cottage
cheese In small packages but tt should
also be offered in 2, 8, and 10 pound
lots at price which will lead the
consumer to buy it in large amounts.
When Is pounds of cottage cheese are
obtained from 100 pounds OF skim
milk and sold for 10 cents a pound it
means gross return of $3.50 a hun
dred for skim milk 1t Is a cheap food
even at Is cents a pound. The cost to
and place cottage cheese
on the market should not exceed, in
most instances. more than 25 cents per
100 Ounds skim-milk.
We have in cottage cheese a valu-
able food product. The consumers
should be taught that it Is q food and
not relish, and that 1t will take the

What has become of our writer's of
war songs?
AS a matter of fact, we have none,
very few-if any-writers of real
songs today A bunch of sO-called
song writer's, or to be more explicit,
song copiers or pirates down east
have been for years thrusting out a
lot of junk which they were pleased to
call music, and getting away with it.
By this is meant that the stuff sold.
However, there I, has not for years
been a song or piece of music of the
light order written that would last
longer than month.
A year or so ago, some unregener-
ate compOser-Or composers song
copiers conceived the idea of coming
out in the open and instead Of con-
cealing a stolen melody unde the
guise of an original production, used
parts of old masterpieces outright
Accordingly such pieces as Mendel-
sohn's Spring Song, Schubert's Seren-
ade, and other classics were butchered
and worked in on "cOon" songs to the
everlasting disgrace Of the jobber who
consented to thrust them on an un-
suspecting public.
But the public refused the dose.
There is point beyond which patience
ceases to be virtue, and something
in the Human which recognizes the
artist-no matter how uneducated or
crude said Human may be-resented
the mixture, as they would horse rad
ish on ice cream, and the dose was re-
jected. In short, where are our great
music masters, our great authors and
painters. Dead-and no one to take
their place today.
When W. come back to the war
songs, we can say that a few sloppy
efforts were made during the Spanish
American war which lasted until the
war was over. Now not one of them is
remembered
'Tenting on the Old Camp Ground"
Just Before the Battle Mother" and
others that were popular during the
Civil war, over fifty years ago. These
songs had within them the touch of
genius-not what they call the
punch" Of today. A punch" only
lasts over night, but genius hits vital
part
There is a collection OF old war
songs published which includes all of
the old time melodies published and
sung during the Civil war which your
music dealer can get for you at
small expense. Get them, and have
them played. Even if you are too young
to remember having heard your
mother sing them, they will arouse
feeling in your breast that none of the
Junk music" composed today will.
And after you have done this, walk
down to our little city park and look
at the soldiers monument-a tribute
to the soldiers who gave all for the
home and honor of country
And then remember we are on the
verge of a crisis-not a national crisis
but a world crisis, and let all of
your patriotism arise to the surface
and stay there
