and to the soldiers monument in
front Of him, and declared that the
Spinit Of IT should be as great as the
others. In the war of 81 Sauk county
sent 1900 men to the south, and did
not hesitate to say that in the present
conflict Sauk county will send her
quota of men into the world strife.
Fighting for All Nations
Mr.. Simons formerly resided in this
county, his parents are here, and his
wife will be remembered as Miss May
Wood, a former teacher in Baraboo.
Mr.. and Mrs. Simons resided for many
years in Chicago and are now in Mil
Waukee.
The orator spoke Of the pleasure it
gave him to be here again, and OF the
crisis that this country now faces.
Mr.. Simons is a student of American
history, and gave the modern idea as
to the meaning Of liberty. Pointing
to the flag, he said that it was almost
as old as any of the national emblems
and that it was entitled to it's place in
the fight for freedom. He declared
that every Englishman is glad that
they were whipped in the War of the
Revolution and in the War Of 1872,
for it brought greater liberties to the
people Of the British empire. Today
we are not only fighting for the lib
erty of Belgium, the liberty of France,
but the liberty of ourselves. "You
have a right to say what sort OF a
government you shall have he de-
clared. Germany wants world power.
Her declaration of war was not
against France, England and Ruusia
but against the whole world. The
whole world is answering the chal-
lenge. The speaker said he hated
war, but that war was necessary in
this case that democracy may live.
Mr.. Simons is a forceful, emphatic
and logical speaker. His climaxes
were greeted with applause, and he
did not hesitate to fay the military
power of Germany for it's effort to
go out and destroy the world to salts
fly it's ambition.
Last Call
w H. McFetridge made a plea for
young men to take the course in Off
GERS training when the camps open
again. Something like 100000 are
needed. Applications will be receiv-
ed UP to July Is.
e. A. Evans then introduced At
torney George Haight of Chicago, who
spoke of the spirit of the wars that
are past, and of the menace that con-
fronts this country today. He told OF
the boast of the kaiser some time ago
that in the future no great questions
III the world should be settled with.
out his intervention. AS to the cause
of the war he laid the whole tragedy
at the door of the German military
| party. He gave extracts from the
German war book and told how the
! correspondence between Germany and
Austria had been kept secret. He said

He told of the German plots against
America, the Zimmerman note and
other incidents in violation Of interna-
tional rights. He declared the pity OF
it was the German people could not
see why the world is against them.
Mr.. Haight is also most emphatic
and convincing. He is an orator who
can thrill an audience anywhere.
Automobile Parade
AS to the automobile parade in the
afternoon, some of those who had
floats in the pageant in the morning
did not understand they were expect
ed to appear later in order to be
judged and participate in the prizes.
This made the number of decorated
cars small and confusion in placing

FOOD SUPPLY OF
NATION IS SHORT
Alarming Reports Of Damage Come
From the Wheat Fields of the
Middle West

Chicago. Mar. 30.--That the food
supply OF the nation is In danger was
the cry In Chicago meat and grain
markets today.
Alarming reports poured into the
market today from the great winter
wheat fields OF Kansas and Nebraska.
They told OF drouth and the plowIng
up OF thousands OF acres Of winter
wheat.
Reports from Kansas City and
Lincoln confirmed statements In the
Chicago pit.
Another grave menace to the ma
tion's food was the fact that the la
Dor shortage. already acute. has been
made critical by the calling out OF
the national guard In the agricultural
states. A conservative estimate to-
day was that the present national
guard call would take $4,000 men
from the strictly agricultural states.
In addition TO those joining the reg
ular army and navy. This figures
the regiments called At war strength.
These men are the cream OF the able
bodied workers. Farmers hesitated
to increase acreage In the face OF cer-
tain labor famine.
The high price OF all seeds Is also
threatening disaster. State agricui-
turai societies are keeping watch on
the seed question and advancing seed
10 farmers unable to buy. The de-
mand Is still greater than the visible
supply.
No way has 20 far been devised to
meek the farm labor problem.
The great packing houses and steel
mills around Chicago are bringing
tens Of thousands Of negroes from
the south TO meet the labor shortage.
which In turn. Is injuring the labor
supply OF the southern states.
Tentative suggestions from the
west have been made OF importing
Chinese laborers.
