ALL railroads operating in Wisconsin
are asking the state railroad commits
sion to order an increase of Is per cent
in freight rates. 1t is said the rail-
roads set up that because Of war con-
ditions and other conditions over which
they have no control, the present rates
are inadequate. 1t is understood the
commission will set date for an early
hearing and that the entire subject of
freight rates will be gone into. That
the railroads are sufferers by the high
cost of maintenance and operation is
unquestioned. We have seen the state
ment somewhere that the Chicago &
Northwestern system alone has had
amazingly increased operating expense.
Officials of that road estimate positive
increase for the year 1917 of $50, 800,
900. Practically every extensive sys-
tenn in the country, both east and west,
face precisely the same conditions. The
railroads have a problem for existence,
like most every commercial interest.

SECRETARY OF WAR BAKER is asking
newspaper publishers Of the country to
''get if into the heart of business men
that it is a crime to make more out of
the war than a normal profit. This
is only one of scores of appeals to news
paper publishers from federal head
quarters of some kind to keep busy in
circulating information, needs. patriot
ism, ETC., for the success of the coun-
try in this war of war. The idea is
right and request reasonable. Every
body should do all in their power to
cheer and strengthen the government
and at the same time make it as easy
for all as possible The newspaper pub
fishers are doing all this freely and as
periodically as any class that can be
named; but why does congress want to
double and quadruple the publishers
postage rate to circulate the informa-
ton and patriotism SO much desired by
other government officials? Something
has been said before now about riding
free horse to death"

PRESIDENT VIM. H. RANKIN of Chi
cago has this to say regarding the i'm
portance of keeping business moving:
eve Americans have $50, 900, 600, 600
fifty billion dollars-a year to spend.
Even should your and my purchases, of
necessity, be wee bit less, the enor-
nous buying which the Government
will be. doing with the tax money will
make up for that. And so our indus
tries will run at top speed-money will
keep moving in CIRCLE and Prosperity
will be King. Provided, that you and
I don't throw wrench into the bust
ness machinery by getting cold feet
and holding back on purchases which
we have the money to make. If you
and and all others will buy as much
as we can afford, without indulging in
wasteful extravaganza, business will be
good. Let us all talk normal buying
and selling wherever we go-and be-
cause actions speak louder than words,
let US practice normal buying. For if
you and let our buying money remain
id'e-if we virtually hoard it instead of
spending 1.-THE retailers will buy less
from the manufacturers, the manufac-
turers will buy less from producers Of
raw materials, people will be laid off
and their lessened buying will affect
other retailers, manufacturers and en-
ployees-and so on along and endless
chain until finally the depression, which
you and have helped start, will land
back in our midst, like boomerang.
Then you and | won't have the money
to buy.

THE easiest part of gardening is the
beginning. The hard grind comes when
it IS discovered that weeds grow much
more rapidly than the things planted
and also show greater virility. Then
the real fight begins. If the amateur
gardener puts as much energy and vim
into the hoe as his brother in the
trenches puts into the use of the ma
chine gun he will accomplish something
worth while in spite of bad weeds and
poor soil. In this fight against starv-
ing world every vegetable will score
one. Let US make good in this fight
even though we may be unable to go
to the front with gun on our Shout
der.

Plow Close.

Since the season is so cold and back
ward the corn has had slow start
while the weeds have been growing
right along. In order that Rock county
may produce its largest possible corn
yield the Council of Defense recon-
mends that every farmer, at the time
of his first cultivation, cultivate as
close as possible to the corn roots while
the roots are still small and while he
may destroy large amount. of weeds.
otherwise hoeing the corn will be nee
essary later on.
This year Rock county will have a
shortage of labor when it comes time
for hoeing corn. Furthermore. if the
weeds are allowed to grow it will very
materially interfere with the yield of
corn. l.. A. MARKHAM,
County Agent.

THE rejection of young men for mil
itary service for physical deficiency is
alarming. Thinking people are aWak-
ening to save the future generations.
There is reason for this condition.
The drug system is wrong and IS a
failure. The diseases of thousand
years ago are with US today. A man
who is we'll is the rarest jewel within
human understanding and if this race IS
to improve, become better, be of great
er service, the elimination OF disease
has got to begin. So thinks the man
who does think and so will you think II
YOU think of those things at all.

MEN ARE NEEDED

There has been an alarming de-
crease in enlistments in the Regular
Army since registration. Tho Idea
is prevalent that volunteer enlist
ment is no longer possible or needed,
whereas on the contrary there is
most urgent need for men to fill the
ffty-one regular regiments now being
organized. Five hundred and fifty
men are urgently needed in the In
fartry and Field Artillery to com
plete Colorado's quota of sixteen
hundred before June 3Oth. Valuable
time is now being lost.
All able-bodied unmarried white
men of good character over eighteen
and under forty years Of age are eli
gible. First citizenship papers are
not required unless applicant is a
subject of an enemy nation. Enlist
ments are "for a period of the emer-
