SUCKING THE POOR MANS BLOOD

Food spectators and price boosters
are literally sucking the life blood of
the poor of this country, and are par
ing to the bone the resources of those
in more moderate circumstances.
And this in the face of war, and mis-
cry, and death!
We see much in the press about gov
ernmeht regulation of the food ques-
tion, but we see no definite action TAX
en- bv Congress to authorize such reg
ulation.
We read of law officers summoning
speculatoUs and going before grand
iuries, but we look in vain for convic-
tions and Jail sentences.
And in the meantime prices of the
very necessities of life keep right on
going higher.
People who live on the noise they
make rush into print and tell us that
it is simply a question of supply and
demand, and that prices will automat-
ically adjust themselves when the new
crop are on the market.
1t is not question of supply and de-
mand; and prices will not ADJUST them
selves until the government steps In
with an iron hand and slams every
theiving speculator behind the bars
and keeps them there.
If allowed to run at large they will
buy up the new stocks of provisions as
they have bought up the old ones, and
prices will be just what they choose to
make them.
No one expects these reptiles to do
anything for the welfare of the eoun-
try; but they should no longer be al
lowed to drag it down to ruin.
We can not afford internal troubles
with foreign war on our aands, and
as loyal American we ask Congress
and the Government to acts, and act
quickly.
The blood of the poor man is disap-
pearing, and in it's wake will come RI
oting and anarchy.
This must not be, and only Official
action can prevent it.

Meeting of the Red Cross

A meeting was held at the town hall
Puesday evening in the interest of the
Red Cross society. Rev. Kuenther, j.
T. Sim and Rev. Buytaert addressed
the meeting. Mr.. Peterson of Green
Bay, the main speaker, disappointed
the committee by not appearing.
The Red Cross members are putting
forth every effort to raise $100, 100000
this week for immediate use in estab-
fishing the work at the front. Forest
County's share of this sum is $4,000. A
committee was appointed by M. j..
Quinlan to solicit the people of Wabeno
township to support this worthy cause
The special amount of $4,000 TO be
raised this week is entirely outside of
the local chapter work.
At the close of the meeting about
$500 was raised.

Growth of the Red Cross in Wisconsin


The rapid growth of the Red Cross
in Wisconsin since the declaration of
war and the extension of it activities
to all parts of the state are remark
able expression of the popular desire
to render definite service to the nation
in its war need.
In March of this year there were but
SIX Red Cross chapters in the entire
state. Today there are 81 chapters,
fully organized, and eleven others
whose organization is partially COM
pleted. Allied with these parent chap
ters, there are a large number of Red
Cross branches. There is scarcely a
community in the entire state so small
that it does not have at least one OF
these working committees sewing for
the Red Cross.
Immediately following declara-
tion of war, inquiries and appeals for
help began to pour into Milwaukee
from all parts of the state. Communi-
ties were eager to find out how to go
about the work of organizing Red
Cross chapter or branch: how to get a
qualified instructor for conducting the
training classes for nurses assistants,
and how to go about the work of max
ing hospital supplies. This popular
demand for information and help led
Immediately to the appointment of a
state director. with headquarters at
Milwaukee, and later to the additional
appointment of field secretary, under
whose direction the work of organizing
the state has progressed rapidly.
S. M. McFedries, the state director,
and Geo. G. Goetz, the field secretary,
have personal charge of organizing the
state forces for the big financial cam
paign to be conducted during the week
of June 18 to 25 Each chapter is held
responsible for the territory in it's jur-
isdiction, the chapters being founded
as a rule on the basis of one chapter to
the county, although there are few
instances in which it has been found
advisable to give parent chapter jur-
isdiction over larger extent of terri
tory. The organizations in the smaller
communities are known as branches
and are subsidiary to the chapters.
The third subdivision is the auxiliary
or working committee; this being any
group of women which is banded to-
gether for the purpose of sewing for
the Red Cross or assisting in it's work
in any way.
'Tf the rapid growth in the organic
alton of the Red Cross chapters and
branches since the declaration of war
is any indication of the general patri-
otic sentiment throughout the state, as
of course it is," said Mr.. Goetz, evils
consin's contribution to the Red Cross
war fund will be most effective an
swer to any outside skepticism regard
ing the states loyalty. There is every
indication that Wisconsin will do more
in the raising of the 100000, 900 which
the National War Council is asking for
Red Cross work in the first year of bhe
war

The Outgoers and the Newcomers

Within the past few months several
families have left Wabsno for other
places and few families have come
here to reside. What are the induce
ments which influence one to change
his place of residence?
The advantages for increasing ones
material welfare is perhaps a controll-
ing influence. But the newcomer will
want to know about the homes, the
schools and the churches; whether it is
place where domestic life is conven-
lent and enjoy able; where the social
life is broad and hospitable; where vice
is in restraint; where moral and ply
sicial sanitation have due provision;
where charity is broad and wise; and
last, but not least, where good neigh
bors may be had.
In a recent decision Chief Justice
Winslow of the Wisconsin Supreme
Court said: cit is better to make a
friend of ones neighbor by foregoing,
at his request, the exercise of some
minor right which causes him discom-
fort than to make an enemy of him by
insisting upon the right simply because
the law gives it.
A good neighbor is great treasure.
We can generally have such treasures
if we are neighbors oul selves. The
golden rule is just as good rule of
conduct now as it was nineteen hum
dred years ago.
AS town to which people will grow
attached; to which they will come back,
how does Wabeno measure up sto this
standard?

GERMAN ATROCITIES
 FAXED?

l T have been with armies on both
 sides in the great war" says William l G. Shepherd. war correspondent, in l Everybody's for March.
 ] T have been in all the warning coun-
 tries except Rumania and Russia, and
 after all that have seen and heard and learned, my once neutral mind has settled itself into the ally groove. 1 l am convinced that humanity will gain
 more from an allied victory than from
 German success. Yet in spite of this l am bound to say, knowing what I do
 of the business of war news, that every American who has based his ideas of German atrocities in Belgium on news paper reports of the early, free-lance days. is carrying a vast amount of mis- information in his head"
 T was in Belgium when the first atrocity stories went out. I hunted and hunted for atrocities during the
 first days of the atrocity scare. couldn't find atrocities. I couldn't ind people who had seen them. travelled on trains with Belgians who had lied from the German lines and l spent much time among Belgian ref ugees. I offered sums of money for photographs of children whose hands had been cut of or who had been wounded or injured in other ways.
 T never found a first-hand Belgian atrocity story; and when I ran down the secondhand stories they all peter ed out.
 ''Yet in those days there were news paper men all around me, spending their time as I spent mine, living in the same hotel with me, eating at the same cafes and often at the same tab le, making the same news rounds that I made, who were sending their daily budget of atrocity stories back to the United States. I am only telling the truth when I say that the first Belg- ian atrocity stories to reach the Unit ed States from Belgium were those certain correspondents whose reputa tions among American newspaper men are those of arch fakers, and who, since the early days in Belgium, have lied about so many other things that they have become discredited in the newspaper circles"

In at least three respects the
Delaware Battalions on border
duty at Deming, outclassed the
Regulars-in health, compared to
the number of men; in target
practice and in hiking. While
there were at least fifty deaths in
the Arkansas and Wyoming Regi-
ments, and hospital cases by the
hundred, there was not a single
death in the Delaware Regiment
and but few serious cases of
illness the entire time they were
at Deming. They were rated as
''the healthiest bunch on the
Mexican border" In target prac-
tice they went ahead of scores
made by the Regulars at moving
targets. On the long hike, start

of the expense necessary in re-
moving the records to Dover and
