Wisconsin Farmers Are Increasing
Their Acreage.

According to the joint report of the
Wisconsin Department of Agriculture
and the u. S. Department of Agricul-
ture, issued at Madison recently, the
farmers of Wisconsin have increased
the acreage of all spring sown crops.
The acreage of spring wheat has
been increased fully 80 per cent over
last year, making total increase of
over $4,000 acres In many counties
the acreage has been more than doubl-
ed. Thousands of farmers all over the
state who have not grown wheat for
years have sown small patches this
year, ranging from two acres upward.
Thousands of acres of old pasture land
and old meadows have been plowed up
and utilized for crops, and in the newer
sections of the state the farmers are
bending every effort to bring all of the
new land they possibly can under Guilt
walton, scarcity of labor being the chief
limiting factor. The acreage of oats,
it is estimated, has been increased
about per cent, or total of over
$4,000 acres.
The condition of all spring sown
crops is somewhat lower than year
ago, due to the cold, backward spring,
combined in some sections with drought,
which has retarded vegetation of all
kinds. Fruits of all kinds are blossom
ing much later than usual. Conditions
on the whole, however, are promising
and some warm weather would work
wonders.

cit CAN be done, it must be done, it
shall be done" is the spirit in which the
state of Wisconsin is going about it's
task of raising So, 500, 900 for the Amer
lean Red Cross during the week of
June Is to Is. Practically every vii
lage, as we'll as every city of the state,
is being organized for participation in
the most intensive campaign that Wis
consin has ever known. And this
statewide movement is but part of the
general campaign throughout the en-
tire United States, the object of which
is TO raise the 800, 900, 900 war fund
which will be required for hospital and
relief work this year. Thousands of
the most prominent business and pro-
fessional men in the state will give
their entire time during campaign
week, as we'll as large financial dona
lions, to the raising of the fund.

How Much Is Liberty Worth to You?

This is question that every Ameri-
can should ask himself or herself. For
generations we have boosted of our
love of liberty. We have called our
country "the land of the free and the
home of the brave" It has been
proved in other wars that this was not
a mere empty boast by our fathers and
forefathers. But the question of how
much is liberty worth to this genera
ton has not yet been fully answered.
1t is going to be answered nobly by
those who serve under the colors. Many
of them will answer with their death.
1t is going to be answered and answer
ed clearly by others who serve their
country as best they may. 1t is going
to be answered by others still who, un-
able to render personal service, have
yet furnished their government the
means to prosecute the war.
The number of subscribers to the
Liberty Loan Bonds is going to be an
index of the love of liberty of the
American citizenry of today. The list
of Liberty Loan Bond holders is going
to be directory of the patriots of
America

What DO They Think?

What are these men thinking of who
are trying to block the government in
it's work of registering and drafting an
army? Congress has declared a state
of war with Germany. 1t has passed
laws appropriating a vast sum of money
to aid in the prosecution of that war.
1t has passed a law calling for a selec-
tive draft. Do these foolish cranks
and socialists and pro-German sympa-
thizers think that they can stop the
government in the mighty task it has
before it? Do they, pitiful minority,
for the great body of the people are
with the government, do they think
they can play this reasonable part with
safety? Is that their idea of the
strength and authority of the govern
ment of the United States? 1t would
seem so. But what dangerous, stupid
idea it is During the civil war we had
draft riots in New York city and in
some of the dense German sections of
northeastern Wisconsin. Did they
amount to anything but to bring sure
punishment upon the foolish perpetra-
tors of this reasonable action. Not
thing. The draft went on just the
same. The authority of the govern
ment was maintained just as it will be
now. The time for argument and pro-
test has passed by. We have lot of
people in this country who are silly
enough to think that they can stop the
operation of law by forcibly resisting
it. Have they ever succeeded? Nine
millions of people tried it in the south
and waged four years of bloody war
from 1861 to '65 to succeed. But they
were forced to submit Can these few
misguided opponents of the present war
succeed where nine millions failed? A
certain portion of our population have
been spoiled by the liberty they enjoy.
They think they can keep up their op-
position to law and government when
and how they please. Such men have
a mighty poor conception of the mean
ing of this United States government.
They may succeed in inducing few
misguided fools TO follow their lead.
But as surely as they live they will
bring dire disaster upon themselves
and all who follow them. This is not a
revolutionary government. 1t is up
held by mighty mass of people who
know and understand that it is their
duty to support and defend their gov
eminent against all enemies, whether
within or without. FIT. Atkinson Union.

The Nations Need.

The response that is being made by
the people to the Liberty Loan is both
inspiring and encouraging. Individuals
and corporations alike are subscribing
generously, among the first of the lat
ter being the National Biscuit Com
pany which took a half million dollars
of the bonds. To conserve what our
ancestors fought for and to make the
world safe for democracy the Liberty
Loan must be great patriotic success,
for the future peace and security of
the world are in the balance. Here is
a real opportunity to help the nation.
Now is the time for all good men to
come to its aid.

FRIDAY, JUNE Is, 1917.

LOYALTY to the government is the
supreme test of civic virtue in nation
that is at war. There are opportuni-
ties in time of peace for citizens to
show patriotism by insistent individual
ism, by standing out for theoretical
punctilios not beyond the realm of de-
bate, perhaps, but clear in the minds
of those who uphold them. In time of
war such opportunities cease to exist.
Then the safety of the nation is at
stake, and the duty of good citizenship
is to forget fractional and partisan diff
ferences and unite under the leader
ship of the powers that be, subordinat-
ing minor differences in obedience to
major duties.
