RESPONSIBILITY IS ON FATHER
Travelling Along Wrong Road When He
Finds Himself Too Busy to Talk
With His Boy.

The father and son movement is one
of the best and most sensible things
we have heard of for long time. That
Is because it proposes to accomplish
results through using natural human
instincts naturally. 1t appeals to the
deepest of human feelings-lOye. 1t
goes about to remind fathers of some
thing they may have forgotten and to
tell boys something they may not have
known. You can get at this better If
you sit down and talk confidentially
with some other fathers boy. He will
tell you things your own boy cannot.
In his wistful earnestness, you will
discover that there are times when a

For InvaIids.

A raw egg is one of the most nutri-
tious of foods, and may be taken cas-
lily if the yolk is not broken. A little
nutmeg grated upon the egg, few
drops Of lemon juice added, some chop
ped parsley sprinkled over it, or some
salt and dash of cayenne pepper will
vary the flavor and make it more
palatable when taken as q medicine.
In case of intestinal troubles, partly
beaten raw egg, taken at one swallow,
Is recommended. 1t is healing to the
inflamed stomach and intestines and

Whereas, such apportionment is
manifestly unjust, and
Whereas, in the National Road
Law the apport1onment Of the money
appropriated for Wisconsin and all
the States by the United states
Government, is made upon the num-
Der Of miles of rural routes, the
area, or size of the state and the
population of the state, and
Whereas, the apportionment made
by the National Government to the
states is a logical and more just
apportionment, than the apportlon-
ment made by the State OF W1scon-
sin to several counties.
Now, therefore be it Resolved, that
it is the judgment of the County
Board of Rusk County, that said state
road law be amended so the appor-
tiOnment of the money appropriated
by the State for road purposes, shall
be as follows:
One-third of said money appropriate
ed by the state to each county IN
the ration that the numbers of miles
Of the rural routes in said county
bears to the total number Of rural
routes in the state; one-third OF said
money appropriated to be apportioned
in the ration that the number Of

bears to the number Of square miles
contained in the whole state; one
third of said money appropriated to
be apportioned in the ratio that the

this little fellow couldn't come to any

this about their fathers, that they are
not Indifferent. But after all the big

are filched from Labor. There is no use attempting to hide these ugly facts behind a cloak. There are more vicious, more really anti-s social and anti-patriottc exploitive forces at work under the cloak of an all eged patriotism today than at any time since pr. Johnson with such in view, delcared that it was the last refuge of a scoundrel.
 Everyone can honor the man and the women who che erfully and gladly sacrifices himself or herself to the faith in the nation that is in him or her. Everyone vii cheer fully believe that greater love than this no man hath than that he give his life for his friend or his belief or his faith or his trust in the ulti-- mate ideas which inspire his action. These men hare led the world in all times and in all ages. They have been the inspiration of every mortal Ludu ~lidl CfCl hNid tlis luSol more precious to him than the vary ing notions of the day. ET-ryone can honor the man who with a prin ciple as his guide will surrender everything for the sake of that prin ciple. But God and the Enemies of God, as Carlyle loved to quote from Dante, hate the profiteers who reap their plunder in the travail and ,rial and crisis ot nation.
 The loud moutAed T1gtel-ee that turns oycr to the other fellow the real things which demand self sacri- fee while he tends to his cash re sister and his bank account and his profit making is beyond contempt

f No wonder that sReaking in New York General Wood lavished upon them his contempt. And it is to promote the intenser profit making of these, the greater gains of such that labor is to sacrifice itself upon the Altar of Mammon! Not by a jugful! Labor will go ap far-yes further than any other class to pro- mote the we'll being, to protect and save the people,, Will make sacri- fees, great, arduous and compelling but Labor will not sacrifice itself in a suicidal effort to pile up great CT and greater profits now for those who own ninety per cent of the na- tional wealth yet want it all.
 The great trouble is that these great interests have completely identified their interests with the country. They, not the people, are the nation in their own estimation. And the duties which it has been accepted men owed to the nation the masses, they take it, owe to them first, last and all the time.
 It is a foolish notion and a dang erous one, and likely as not before this war for the preservation of democracy will result in a rude awakening for them before it is over.
 As a test of the sincerity of the. patriotism would it not be a fine proof if employers surrendered their profits during the war? But We know that that is the last thing thoy vii. think of. It is labor that is to be the goat and the goat not fer the nation, but for them
