State to Conserve the Seed Supply.

The Wisconsin Department of Agri-
culture cautions the farmer in southern
Wisconsin that he may be of greater
service to the nation and to himself if
he plants other crops in preference to
planting an abnormally increased acre
age of potatoes.
1t is the opinion of the majority of
people in touch with the whole situa-
ton that southern Wisconsin should but
slightly, if at all, increase its normal
acreage of potatoes for the following
reasons:
l. The potato is not strictly an ex-
port crop.
2. Export crops should be increased
to the limit this year.
3. Seed potatoes are exceedingly
high in price, making the cost of seed
an important factor and the quality of
seed is unusually poor.
The state has arranged with the lead
ing dealers, having potatoes in Wiscon-
sin warehouses, to hold their best stock
one week for distribution as seed, and
to ship all orders, either local or in car
lot. at 100 per bushel, f. o. b. loading
station, draft for amount to accompany
the order.
The crops to emphasize at this time
are corn, white beans, buckwheat, and
on poor soil, soy beans. The supply of
seed corn appears to be ample. Seed
beans are scarce and high, but the
state has secured few cars at $1,000
bushel A limited supply of seed
buckwheat is obtainable at moderate
prices.

/ Col. WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN, the
former eloquent exponent of pacifism
and unpreparedness, now steps to the
front with this excellent doctrine:
''The government has tried to main
tain peace without fighting. Now it
has decided that we can only have
peace through war. | will support that
decision
AS for the question of universal SER
vice, Mr.. Bryan CALAMITY adds:
81 am for whatever the government
decides. | am ready for any call"
The plain duty of all American citi-
zens at such crisis is to trust the we'll
informed government Of their own
country and support it's measures with
heart, hand and purse.
That is the only way.
Either we are nation or we are not.
If we are nation, we must act like
government.
That is the preaching and practice of
such men as Roosevelt, Bryan, Hughes,
Taft, Root; and the senior senator
from this state certainly would not be-
little himself by following their ex-
ample.
What ten strike Mr.. La Toilette
would make even now by sinking par
tisanship in patriotism and making a
ringing declaration such as Mr.. Bryan
has made. That would be stunt
worth while. Surely Mr.. La Toilette
can not afford and can not like to look
to the nation like thirty cents in depre-
ciated currency alongside of his politi-
cal old friends, Husting and Lenroot.

DON'T stock up. 1t is not only sell
fish and unpatriotic but foolish as well
to rush to the grocer and pay price
for flour which is inflated by the very
panic of which you are part. Calm
down. Wholesalers insist that the pub
lie is to blame for much of the excess
sive cost of staples, simply because
they insist in body upon having one
or more staples in large quantities and
at once. Buy less, eat less and raise
more, then there will be enough to go
around.

REMEMBER that it is your country
which is at war. Success means a vic
tory for you. Defeat means defeat
for you, and one in which you will suf-
fer incalculable injury. 1t is every
mans duty to stand loyalty by his
country by word and deed, giving no
comfort even by criticism to those who
would overwhelm it. Patriotism is not
a badge to be worn on the coat sleeve,
but heartfelt impulse to prove loyal
every moment and upon every occasion.

FOREIGN NAMES in ENGLISH
Effort to Convert Virgil Into Vergil
Raises Doubt as to Where Pur-
lists Would Stop. ..

Quite q vigorous discussion is going
on in the English press, as to the
spelling of foreign proper names. 1t
has all originated over the modern ef-
fort to convert Virgil into Vergil. Of
course the poets name is Vergilius,
but Virgil is the time-honored Angl-
cism for it. The opponents Of Vergil
point out that it is ridiculous to say
that Vergil is the correct way Of spell
ing it, for the simple fact that that
abbreviation is not and never was
Latin, but is an Anglicized way of
spelling the word Vergilius, and that
in order to incorporate a word into
another language you have right to
make it conform to that language, and
that your determination to make it so
conform is a sure sign Of the vitality
Of the language.
AS a matter of fact there is very
little doubt that those who take this
point Of view have all the precedents
on their side. Macaulay always insist
ed on spelling Louis as Lewis, and de-
clared that you never should use for
eign word where an English one could
be made to take it's place. The SIP
porters of Virgil now demand to know
where the purists are going to stop.
Are they, they ask, going to be content
with Vergil, or are they going the full
length to Vergilius? Are they going
to be content with Venice, or are they
going to indulge in Veneze, and if
Veneze, why not the whole length, and
say Venezia? When it comes to pre-
cedents, we are afraid the reformers
have not much chance.-Christian
Science Monitor.

saw that it would be a losing game.
He knew that Johnson's employment

inmate in a short time, as soon as
the impending statehood was given
to Oklahoma, and, with the redoubta-
BILE Pussyfoot out of the way, he cal
culated that his scheme would work
out to a nicely. His hatred for John
son arose in the main from the
knowledge that he was impotent to
sell liquor so long as Johnson was In
tho way. Yet, whether he really
meant to kill him or not, he was at
the same time sending threatening let
tiers to Deputy Marshal Thomas, say
ing that he intended to have his life
also. AS a matter of fact, the man
he killed had no quarrel with him.
When Johnson learned that he was
to be killed he was greatly interested.
He had never been killed, and he
wanted to give Lewis a chance OF
making good on his threat, for john
son is emphatically a fair man. Nor
has Johnson ever taken a life. He
The Tomahawk., 1917-05-10

Finally the gang was rounded up and
the leaders were captured and placed
in Jail.
It was in the town of Chelsea that
the ruft1ans nearly got Johnson. He
had entered the Joint of a man
named Edmondson with Deputy Lowe,
but, as the crowd was very threaten
ing in its demeanor, he left Lowe out
side to hold the door, and went into
the barroom alone, in his customary
manner. He smashed the liquor and
the fixtures, and was about to leave
when the mob brushed Lowe aside
and surged into the place, surround
ing Johnson, led by. dad man"
named Dyce, Of enormous build and
muscularity. Dyce thrust his fist
into Johnson's face, discoloring his
eye. Johnson knocked Dyce down
twice, and Dyce concluded that he
had had enough. Beer glasses and bill
lizard cues began to fly around John
sons bald head, and revolvers were
drawn. In another moment Johnson
would have been put out Of exist
ence. But snatching up one of the
billiard cues, he laid about him with
force cracking half a dozen heads
and clearing a little space about him.
At this juncture Lowe managed to
effect an entrance and knocked up a
revolver which was thrust into John
sons face, in the nick of time. A min
ute later Johnson, with his billiard
cue, was driving the flock of rowdies
like sheep before him. Within an
hour of this occurrence news of John
sons death was being spread in every
Oklahoma city.
I'll always telephone in when I'm
killed." Johnson explained to an in
curing newspaper reporter.
In connection with the killing and
wounding of Johnson's deputies may
be mentioned the attack on Omer L.
Lewis, though his death occurred, like
that of Charley Escalante, one Of John
sons brave Indian deputies, at later
period. At Arloe, Mont, Lewis met
