Record Corn Crop.
The great corn crop, which is rec
ordbreaker, was developing in a fair
to excellent manner in the main corn
growing states when the September
canvass was made by department of
agriculture agents and correspond
ents. In Kansas where the August
report indicated the production would
be cut about in half by the severe
weather conditions of July, rain has
brought rapid recovery and there were
prospects of good yield in the east
ern and south central parts of the
state. A better crop in Oklahoma than
was anticipated will result from the
late improvement. With favorable
weather in Missouri during the next
fortnight there will be a large yield
in that state, while in Iowa the croI
was making satisfactory growth con.
sidering the weather. The crop is
late in Iowa and in other central anc
northern districts and weather some
what better than normal will be need
ed to carry it past the frost danger il
many sections. In the south the croE
is maturing and harvesting has be-
gun.

War Economies

Mrs. A. Glen Waddell, Baraboo,
sends the following from Chicago
paper for the OIlapodrida column:
Since there is a stampede toward
preventing the use of grain and hops
for the manufacture of beer, why not
prohibit the use Of fertile soil for the
production of tobacco? Tobacco is an
unnecessary product, and more injur-
ious to the human system than beer
or liquor. Why, then, should the most
productive lands be appropriated for
it's cultivation? Then there is chew
ing gum, a useless property and silly
habit Why not prohibit the sale and
manufacture of it and turn the labor
and the products now employed in
it's manufacture into more useful lines
of endeavor? Why not be consistent,
or does the spirit of warfare forbid?

AMERICAN BRAINS HAVE PRO.
DUCED WONDERS

Now that America is in the world
war, it is presumed that Yankee in
genuity will bring forth the things
that are needed to bring the affair to
a victorious conclusion. Of the ten
great inventions now being used, eight
al from the brains Of American wiz
ards. Two are credited to Germany
and they are the Zeppelin and poison
gas. The German shell and gun that
throws projectile fifteen miles was
invented by Louis Gathman, an Ameri-
can inventor. Simon Lake invented
the submarine; the British tanks, -
the big tractors, the machine gun, the
periscope, the turreted monitor, the
new flying whales, and others, are
from American minds. Others may
be expected to follow.

OId-Fashioned Camp Meeting

When I was about nine years Of
age we were living in the state Of
New York. There was camp meet
ing in a fine forest of great trees on
the hill not far from our house. Of
course~we all went Those who came
from a distance built board shanties
to live in while the meeting should
last. There we're several preachers,
and they were all very earnest, and
spoke in very loud voice, always ex-
tempore, which increased in volume
to an amazing degree. They were
answered by many converts, and the
enthusiasm was wonderful to behold.
At noon many who had brought their
dinners, ate, after which little knots
of friends gathered together before the
afternoon session for prayer. So, sew
eral would be praying at the same
time And some would get so wrought
up that they would simply cry one
or two words over and over again, say
ing ooh, Lord" or ooh, Jesus" or
just Jesus" in an agony of emotion,
till suddenly they would have what
was called the power" and fall to
the ground unconscious and remain
so for an hour or more. I have never
seen anything quite like it in modern
times.
This overweight condition is real
ly catalepsy, which is sudden suspen-
sion of sensation and volition, with.
out stopping the action of the heart
and lungs. In those days a marvel
!, Gus conversion was looked for, and
very much desired, as being a sure
passport to heaven. I do not mean
to speak lightly of these things, fol
they were sincere, but sometimes
wonder if such a condition is pleasing
to the great Father Why must we
be worked into an abnormal condi
ton to please Him?
Today the abnormal action of de
structiveness has let loose the dogs
of war in Europe, and we are in duty
bound to fight for true conditions.
In our own land, spectators in
| food, with abnormal acquisitiveness
are piling up millions for themselves
| Can this be right? Like things are
| continually arising and always have
| arisen. BENZ. SIMONDS.

HOPE FOR A LIBERAL
GERMANY

The destruction Of Russia's autoc-
racy leaves that of Prussia in more
exposed position, more subject to as
sault from within and criticism from
without. A liberal Germany, repre-
senting in government and policy
what is best and noblest in German
thought and civilization, would offer
no menace to the rights of other ma
tions and peoples, and would in due
time be able to secure the respect
and influence throughout the world
that naturally belongs to the German
people. An utterly false sense OF ma
tional power and it's exercise in rela-
ton to the rights and liberties OF 9TH
er nations has become bound up with
German imperial policy. This insane
determination to secure Germany S
future through sheer assertion OF
strength and dominance has now
turned almost the entire world against
militant Germany. Everything OF a
reasonable sort that Germans have
aspired to gain would have been
theirs in due time had they been con-
tent to live quietly and at peace. At
the very moment when the growth OF
freedom in the world was making old
fashioned imperial systems obsolete,
Germany was trying to create the old
fashioned kind Of empire. The Brit
ish empire is in essence little more
that a. voluntary association of free
and self-governing peoples. Germany
has a wholly different theory and
policy of empire from that of Britain.

THOSE LIBERTY BONDS

Uncle Sam is seeking a loan. In
exchange for cash he gives a bond
bearing interest at three and one-half
per cent. The sum is so great that
Wall street and the banks cannot take
all Of the bonds, and those who do
not carry a gun will have an Opportu-
nifty to help win victory by subscrib-
ing to this big loan. The money will
go to purchase ammunition, feed and
clothe those at the front or in train
ing. To keep big armies moving re-
ouires cash-much cash. One way for
every citizen to pay his debt to Uncle
Sam is to take some of these bonds.
Every American owes something to
his country-and financial aid is one
of the things most needed. Early in
the war it was said by an Englishman
that victory would be won with silver
bullets. 1t begins to look that way
The nations that can pay for the larg-
est armies and the greatest amount OF
supplies will have big handicap over
the others. 1t looks as though the al
lies have most of the world at their
command and therefore will win in
| the end. You see how fifty or a hun
dred dollars will help win the war
Buy a bond and feel the thrill of salts
| faction when victory comes.

Circus Drivers Independent

A few days ago, while visiting with
a man in the corridor of the hotel, he
said: "Dave, | spent the day some
two weeks ago in Baraboo and was
shown through the winter quarters,
and although the show was exhibiting
in Chicago at the Coliseum at the time
yet there were many things there to
see that would interest an outsider.
Zone thing that looked strange to
he was that while at the depot un-
loading a car of baggage intended for
the Ringing show, when the train
pulled into the depot the big six-horse
team belonging to the show got fright
ened and tangled UP. One Of them,
evidently green one in the business,
threw himself, and to an outsider it
looked as though there would surely
be a runaway; and yet when those
horses were acting the worst, al
though there were ten or dozen of
the big, husky workmen busy un-
loading the big wagon, none seemed
to take hold and help the man who
was on the seat holding the lines.
One travelling man ventured to say
to these men, Why don't you take
hold and help that man handle that
big team?' But the workmen, he
said, simply gave him look which
seemed to say, we are attending to
our business and you attend to yours
and everything will come out all
right. The man. on the high seat who
was holding the lines did not seem to
worry about the outcome and always
had the horses under control as well,
possibly, as though half dozen of
the workmen had tried to help him
out"
There is nothing that disgusts
big team driver so much, if he is high
class, as to have someone try to
help him when his team is in a mix
up. / recoHect once, with the Burr
Robins show. About daylight in the
morning pulled out to pass an eight
horse driver, when I noticed one of
the horses plunging and kicking, and
finally got one leg over the pole. The

EQUAL Suffrage

am not in the field, but was asked
to give an opinion on this special sub
ject-one that ought to interest every
woman who has grain of self-re-
spect.
The civil warfare that is being
waged to right this universal wrong,
like every conflict, has called out the
and best in our homeland, and in 9TH
-er lands, to fight for it's overthrow.
To not allow woman voice, vote
in home and civic affairs, is heather
custom, and an unjust condition. Had
she not bravely taken the initiative
step to right this wrong, to rise above
this servile life, we would still be
ignorant of. her powers-blind to the
fact that she was purposely created
to be ga help meet for man"-his
equal and intellectual colleague.
When but mere girl, Jeanne d.
Arc, through her bravery, generosity
and patriotism, encouraged and led
the French army to victory. Without
the power of conviction and the cour-
age of Queen Isabella of Spain, the
discovery of America might have
been delayed for centuries.
In the medical profession there are
many noble, competent women. In
no achievement is her efficiency more
marked than in the sick room She
is the natural nurse.
Florence Nightingale, the angel Of
the Crimean war, and our own Clara
Barton, first president of the Ameri-
can Red Cross movement, became ia
mouse because they found their ap-
pointed niche and filled it nobly.
The footprints Of an army of others
are following on with blessing Many
a skilled physician owes no small part
of his success to the efficient service
of careful nurse.
Woman takes her place, shoulder to
shoulder, with man as an educator
and as an independent factor in the
business world. In art, science, lit
erature, law, sculpture, invention and
athletic sports. In almost every in
Why do men assume that they are
strictly special human beings, when
they know they are not? We are all
acquainted with that old legendary
saw about the first woman being an
irres ponsible creature, therefore only
mischief can result from allowing her
sex progeny place of trust.
The fact is, her disposition to be-
1ieve, her trustfulness, are her chief
charms. She was deceived by fattery
into believing that she would become
goddess of knowledge and every
thing great. Any of us with ambition
would want to be that.
But the sturdy oak" man, as far
as we know. made no decided plea
against becoming an accomplice in
the offense, and he knew the penalty.
If we must think Of him as the "oak,"
and she the "clinging vine," then was
the time to prove this argument true.
