With the retail price of sugar high

Importance of growing sorghum makes
more than an ordinary appeal to the
farmers of Wisconsin this spring. And
there promises to be snug profit in
the crop, too.
1--WE are advising the farmers to
take up this crop wherever practic-
able," said State Commissioner of Ag-
riculture Norgord. There is still
plenty of time for pianting-two weeks
more at the least. One half the world s
supply of sugar under normal conditions
comes from sugar beets raised in Ger
many, Belgium, Holland, France and
Russia. These sources of supply now
are closed to the United States. Sor-
ghum requires only two pounds of seed
to the acre. 1t is not absolutely neces-
sary that the cane ripen fully in order
to make good syrup, but it is desirable
that it mature as far as possible. The
syrup is wholesome, palatable substi-
tute for sugar in cooking and baking,
and for table use to considerable ex-
tent. 1t makes delicious pancake

Obituary.
HARRY DAVIS.

Harry T. Davis was born in Edger-
ton August IL, 1886, and died at Indian
Ford May 26, 1917, on the 9Th anniver-
sary of his mothers death. He was a
son of w. J. Davis, formerly of this
city.
Frail in health and retiring in dispo-
sition, Harry nevertheless, by his in
dustry and mechanical skill, won for
himself high place in the confidence
and respect of the community. Some
times obliged from sheer physical ne
cessity to live the ''hermit life'' in
some remote place for weeks together,
yet he was never known to complain,
but cheerfully and heroically submitted
to the inevitable. All who knew him
will acknowledge the bravery of the
fight he made for health and business
independence. To Mr.. and Mrs. M. B.
Fletcher, his aunt and uncle, and Mrs.
Markham, his grandmother, with whom
he made his home for years, he espec-
tally endeared himself, and his sudden
removal is keenly deplored.
In addition to the above relatives he
leaves to mourn his loss one brother,
Elmer L. Of Santa Barbara, CAL, and
an aunt, Mrs. Tillie Davis of this city,
and several cousins.
. Funeral services were conducted on
May 18th at the home of M. B. Fetch
err and at the Methodist church by the
pastor, Rev. w. Hooton, with appro-
pirate music by the choir. The casket
was borne to it's resting place by four
cousins, with interment in the Edger-
ton cemetery.

FEARFUL CONFEDERATION.

Seventy-fve blocks Of buildings
were destroyed by fire in Atlanta,
Ga. yesterday before the flames had
been placed under control. Ten
thousand persons are now homeless,
many having lost all their posses
sions. 1t was necessary to resort to
dynamite in order to check the con-
flgration, and blocks of fine residcn-
ces were destroyed by the explosive.
In many cases it was impossible to
save any of the contents of homes.
1t is said that the flames spread
from block to block about as fast as
a man walks, high wind battling
the efforts of the firemen, to subdue
them The property loss is estimated
at between 100000 and S3,0O0,OOO.
One person is reported dead. while
many are injured Work of relief
for the sufferers was started immed-
lately. and everything is being done
by the more fortunate towards re-
lieving the sufferers.
