Why the Leaves Change Their Color.

1t requires no vivid imagination to-
picture Mother Nature going about
these days with a liberal supply of
paint with which she colors the leaves
of the trees and other plants and there
by produces the vivid tints which char
acterize the foliage Of this season. In
reality the change in coloring is the re-
suit of certain chemical processes which
take place in the leaves.
The change is not, as many people
suppose, due to the action Of frost, but
is q preparation for winter. All during
the spring and summer the leaves have
served as factories, where the foods
necessary for the trees growth have
been manufactured. This food making
takes place in numberless tiny cells of
the leaf and is carried on by small
green bodies which give the leaf its
color. These chlorophyll bodies, as
they are known, make the food of the
tree by combining carbon taken from
the carbonic acid gas of the air with
hydrogen, oxygen and various minerals
supplied by the water which the roots
gather In the fall when the cool
weather causes slowing down OF the
vital processes, the work of the leaves
comes to an end. The machinery of
the leaf factory is dismantled, so to
speak, the chlorophyll is broken up in
to the various substances of which it
is composed, and whatever food there
is on hand is sent to the body Of the
tree to be stored up for use in the
spring. All that remains in the cell
cavities of the leaf is a watery sub
stance in which few oil globules and
crystals, and small number Of yellow,
strongly reflective bodies can be seen.
These give the leaves the yellow color
ing so familiar in autumnal foliage.

How we need strong, big, brainy
man, virulent American, In the SEN
ate now to counterfeit and offset the
political Vaccinations of LaFollette,
and to represent the predominant SEN
timent of our state on the question of
war. The trouble lies in our ability to
select such a man with cumbersome
primary, now recognized as the SER
viceable implement of demagogues and
the handicap of greatness. Big men
dread to become candidates because of
fear that they will have to contest with
a bunch of pigmies who, by aspiring to
the office, disgrace it and all who seek
it. Men of true worth instinctively
shrink from entering a contest with
men of no worth, even for high Office,
because they know the average voter
has not the time needed to familiarize
himself with matter pertaining to the
fitness of candidates, and, for this rea-
son, is as apt to cast his lot with a
demagogue as he is with worthy can
didate. Admittedly the primary at
such time is a mighty dangerous Sc
lecting agency because of the ease with
which it may be controlled by I'M
worthy persons who would not dare to
press their claims for a seat in the
United States senate before deli5er-
ate body of intelligent voters. This
class of men is willing to run the risk
of primary, but not the risk of a
convention. In order that some per-
son entertaining the sentiments and
fearlessness of Paul Husting shall be
selected to fill Senator Husting's place,
it will be necessary for the big men of
Wisconsin to meet, canvass the field
and determine who shall be the man.

Lutherans Adopt Loyalty Resolutions.

The following resolutions were unan-
imously adopted at the district meeting
of the Norwegian Lutheran churches
at Stoughton last week:
Whereas, Our country is at war with
Germany, a powerful and determined
enemy, and,
Whereas, We realize the magnitude
of our undertaking and the necessity of
united effort on the part Of all citizens
of the United States of America in the
prosecution of the war to bring it to a
successful conclusion; therefore, be it
Resolved, That we, the pastors and
delegates of the Madison circuit of the
Norwegian Lutheran Church of Amer
lea, in convention assembled at Slough
ton, Wis, October 1881, 1917, hereby
pledge our undivided loyalty and sup
port to the government Of the United
States of America.

IT WILL cost 100000 to elect a
United States senator at a special
election. That alone is sound reason
why the legislature should clothe the
governor with power to appoint sue
cessor to Senator Husting 1t simply
would be profigate to spend 5000, 600 in
such a cause. In the first place, a
United States senator often is not
worth it, thinks the Madison Democrat.
In truth, some states would be better
off if they had no representative in the
senate. In fact, they might well pay
5000, 600 to get rid of senator, but
that is not the question now.

THE small amount which each indi-
vidual is asked to save through substi-
tuition and avoidance of waste when
multiplied by millions becomes an eff
fective total. The foods that must be
saved are wheat, beef, pork and dairy
products. Those that should be used
generously are fish, poultry. fruit, veg
etables and all cereals except wheat.

STATISTICS compiled by Capt. Paul
Mason of New York city show that in
the five months beginning with the last
half of May and ending with the first
half of October fires in the United
States destroyed food stocks to the ag-
gregate value of twelve million two
hundred and fifty thousand dollars. 1t
will take great deal of conservation
by consumers to make up that loss.
No wonder there are people who think
the careful watching Of warehouses
containing stores of provisions is as
necessary as the guarding of munition
plants.

AFTER the first of November, the
federal government will control the
sale of high explosives. A permit will
have to be obtained from the United
States bureau OF mines before it may
be sold. An intending purchaser will
have to give name and address, and re-
turn the superfuity should any remain
after use, and the exact nature of the
work for which it is to be used must
be stated on purchase. The legislation
is eminently wise, indeed it seems in
view of the explosions that have al
ready taken place, such as the Black
Tom island disaster which destroyed
shipping, that its instigation is some
what tardy. But it takes time to bring
into operation plans actually formulat-
ed when munitions on large scale be-
gan to be manufactured.
