TO REDUCE COAL BILLS

While present high prices for fuel
prevail owners of woodlots can make
good wages for themselves and hired
men during these winter days by cut
ting and marketing frewood that
otherwise would be wasted, and at
the same time improvement can be
made in the timber stands.
Not only should all waste wood be
used, but tweed trees" that have no
other value except for frewood should
be cut out and marketed. Their re-
moval increases the income from the
woodlot and improves it's condition by
allowing valuable young trees, great
er freedom to develop. Beech, maple
and other species having many wide
spreading limbs and short trunks are
mentioned by the forester of the Ohio
Experiment Station as undesirable
trees in the woodlot that have little
value except for fuel.

The Federal Trade Commission and
the Department of Agriculture at the
direction of President Wilson is max
ing an exhaustive investigation into
the causes of the high prices of staple
foods in the United States. In his
letter of direction to the Commission,
President Wilson pointed out that the
production of the major cereal crops,
especially wheat and corn, had failed
to keep pace during recent years with
the increase of population, while the
annual per capita supply of meat pro-
ducts had decreased by twenty-nine
pounds since 1900. He suggested that
agricultural production had been re-
tarded and discouraged by present
methods of distribution and unneces-
sary fluctuations of prices. To dis
cover what causes are operative to in
crease food prices the President di-
rected the Federal Trade Commission
to investigate and report on the facts
relating to the production, ownership,
manufacture, storage and distribu-
ton of food-stuffs, and to ascertain
regarding alleged violations of the
antitrust acts.

reason was lack of money appropriate

forced the authorities to plan for only
half OF the thirty.two environments or

overcome, but the impossibility OF

Madison, Wis.-The State Council
Of Defense will increase its efforts
during the next two weeks to get after
men who will not work. All over the
state sheriffs and police officers have
been instructed to round up men and
boys of the proper age who have been
In the habit of lodging jobs.
Every town and hamlet in Wiscon-
sin has it's representation of these
parasites and in the larger cities there
are thousands who live from the in
dustry of others. 1t is the intention Of
the State Council of Defense to do
all in it's power during the war to See
that a man who does not work volun-
tarily shall be made to work.
While thousands Of Wisconsin boys
are at the front their places in indus
tries and on farms must be taken by
other men. Before Wisconsin follows
the example of England and other al
lied countries which have sent tender
women into factories and into the
fields the State Council must be as
sured that every man is at work.
Every man is going to be given an
opportunity to seek job, but the time
is coming soon when the law will be
invoked.
Young women in every county have
an opportunity to serve the state by
enlisting in the Health Aide corps
now being organized in hospitals.
Their duties will be, after they have
completed a course of intensive train
ing, to help nurse the civilian sick
while the registered nurses are at the
front. They will receive $40 a month
for their expenses while in training,
and will be asked TO work for SO a
week and their board and lodging for
two years following The Milwaukee
County hospital has the first unit now
under training. Young women who
wish to interest themselves in this
patriotic work can secure details from
any member of the Council Of De-
Tense in their county.

Ders, working in cooperation with the
State Industrial Commission and the
State. Council of Defense.
Early in May the National Board of
Fire Underwriters volunteered its
services to the Council of National
Defense, and as a result a unit of al
most 1000 trained inspectors was
placed at the disposal of the United
States government. Wisconsin was
the first state to be organized, and the
local insurance men were soon aiding
the nation through their newly formed
organization, the Conservation Asso-
citation of Wisconsin.
These men have travelled through
out Wisconsin, armed with credentials
signed by the governor, state fire
marshal. and State Council of De-
Tense officers, inspecting grain eleva-
tors, flour mills, wholesale houses and
all warehouses where food is stored.
The inspection also included coal
docks, iron docks, candy factories,
bakeries and biscuit factories. In
fact, every building or factory related
to the food or wear material supply,
was inspected by the investigators.
The files of the State Council of
Defense show that Wisconsin leads all
middle western states but one, South
Dakota, and is ninth in the nation In
the record for volunteer enlistments
in the army.
This was shown when figures were
compiled in the legislative reference
library, at the request of Gov. Philip,
from draft table given out in Wash
ington. According to that announce
ment Wisconsin has a gross quota of
2S,199. The number of men in the
National Guard on April 1, 1917, was
1859. Since that date 1929 men have
enlisted in the National Guard and l.
$50 have enlisted in the regular army,
making a total of 1924.
This leaves 1856 to be enlisted
before the states quota is filed.
Wisconsin has enlisted 81 per cent
of her quota. Fifty-nine men out of
every 10000 citizens have gone into
the army.
The State Council of Defense has
appealed to the County Councils to
take up the matter of the killing of
sheep by dogs in an effort to con-
serve the production of mutton and
wool in the state. The members of
the county councils are asked to urge
upon the farmers the necessity of
keeping careful watch on the depre-
dations of dogs everywhere. There is
a tremendous shortage in wool in the
United States and it is hoped that
Wisconsin will do its share towards
meeting this situation. Records in
Madison show that last year $4,000
sheep were killed by dogs and many
other animals no doubt were killed
without reports being made. The
council calls attention to the fact that
the law regarding the preservation of
sheep from the depreciation of dogs is
sufficiently strong and makes the pen
atty for losses rest upon the owner
" the dog doing the damage.

THURSDAY, AUGUST z 1917

1t is difficult 10 comment on the Rus
sian situation, because what is written
today may not apply to the conditions
that exist tomorrow. Russia is a
whirligig of contradictions-y yesterday
an auUocracy; today headad for anarchy;
tomorrow, no one knows what.
But while the situation there is dark
enough at best, the latest news, showed
a CLEAN of light, faint enough to be
sure, but a CLEAN nevertheless. ker-
ensky, the one man in Russia who thus
far has seemed capable Of graphing
with the turmoil in an effective fashion,
has been made the practical dictator,
and regime OF "blood and IRON is to
be tried as a remedy for the intolerable
conditions which threatened not only
TO plunge the country into the depths
of anarchy but to attach it as vassal
to Germany's chariot wheel as well.
II the new policy can be carried out
there will be no more temporizing WI n
either lunatIcs or traitors. Those VINO
translate liberty into license will be
sternly dealt with. Already, accord
ing to press dispatches, General korn
ilud has turned his own loyal artillery
on disloyal regiments, with fearful
slaughter but with noticeable effect il
discouraging desertion and treason.
The remedy is a drastic one, but pro
badly the only way To restore sem
blance OF discipline in the demoralized
and shattered armies.
What Is now going on in Russia more
deeply concerns the United States than
anything that has ever before occurred
in all Europe. Russias complete col.
lapse means that we have got TO take
her place in the war as well as should
er the duties that we had expected to
discharge. Russias collapse means
that the war will not end this year or
the next, No greater calamity can be
conceived than the fruition Of Ger
many's plot TO eliminate Russia as a
foe and attach that country, with its
food and mineral resources, to The
Central Powers as yassal ally.
