For Company IN"

sAa have FIST Pay Day at Camp
Douglas on Monday.
Members of Company NJ of the
Fourth Wisconsin Regiment now in
camp at Camp Douglas, saw in Monday
real day for the "ghost walked =
through the camp and the boys, every
one of them, received their fifteen
days pay. 1t had been long wait for
some of the boys and while they may
not seriously believe in "spirits" they
were tickled to death to see this
ghost walk. From now on the pay
ments to the Kenosha soldiers will
come regularly every month
The Kenoha boys are furnishing the
real sporting features of the camp.
Bud German has announced his will
ingness to meet any man in Camp
Douglas at anywhere from two to six
hundred pounds and he might be forced
to shade the weight little in order
to get on with a real live one from
some other company. Billy Ball is the
first aid to German and he says that he
is willing to meet any of the bantams
who are willing to don the gloves.
It is not all fighting up at Camp
Douglas and the fact that the Kenosha
company has a varied repertoire was
shown by the fact that the Snyco-Pep
orchestra gave an entertainment for
the whole camp on Sunday night which
proved one of the biggest events since
the opening of the camp.

Hemp Plant Attracts
Kenosh1 Farmers
County Agent Plans Trip for Kenosha
County Farmers to Union Grove to
inspect Value of Hemp Crop.

-
County Farmers to Union Grove to
Inspect Value of Hemp Crop.
County Agent Griffith Richards is to
conduct an excursion of progressive
Kenoha county farmers to Union
Grove next Saturday for the purpose of
demonstrating the important and lucra-
tive value of the hemp crop that may be
raised in this section of Wisconsin,
They will be shown the three humid
red acres of hemp and now under
cultivation at Union Grove, and for
which a new plant for the breaking
of the fibre is now in course of con-
struction. Hemp is great crop for
the eradication of Canada thistle and
quake grass, the greatest hindrance
and nuisance of a farmers life. Not
only is the crop good one to rotate
cabbage and other vegetables, that
a good deal of nourishment from the
ground, but it is one of the most lucra-
tive crops known, the net return for
last year on the best fields averaging
from $500 to $4,000 per acre.
Kenosha county farmers will watch
with interest the new experiment as
it may mean an epoch in the history
of farmers in this section.
Farmers of the county who wish to
go on the tour of inspection are asked
to meet at the City Hall in Kenosha
at one O'Clock Saturday afternoon to
start ON the trip. If it is out of the
way to come to Kenosha plan to join
the party about two-thirty on the
main street Of Union Grove.

SOMETHING DOING AT CAMP
Mrs. G.. W. Stoneman and Daughter.
Lone, Bring an Interesting Report
from the Upstate Training School.

from the Upstate Training School.
Mrs. G. w. Stoneman and daughter,
lone, of Pomeroy street, spent the week
end at Camp Douglas and brought back
home some interesting side lights on
Sunday at the training school, AS the
guests of Clyde Stoneman, a Kenosha
Sammy at the camp, they had every OPP
portunity to see military life as it is
lived and they saw it, too. They report
that the boys are pleasantly situated
and are improving under the healthful
climate at the camp and the daily ex-
ercises required of them. They also de-
clare that more than thirty thousand
people were at the training school on
Sunday afternoon and evening. A little
excitement was furnished during the
day by q party of moonshiners who at
tempted to smuggle wagonload of
"Eooze" into camp. AS usual they
were detected by the guards and
promptly arrested for their trouble. The
incident IS interesting because of it's
indication. 1t shows conclusively that
"the lid is on' at Camp Douglas and
that Uncle Sam does not intend to have
his soldiers debauched by booze"
either moonshine or other brands more
common but equally harmful.

citation and the Georgia Chamber of
Commerce, in an interview given to
the newspapers here urging farmers
not to increase their cotton acreage.
Eighteen to twenty cent cotton at

the bait that will lure hundreds Of
thousands of farmers in the south to
each put in few extra acres, and
should nature smile on the crop as in
1914, we will come nearer a twenty
million bale crop than 20 cents per
pound, for evidence multiplies daily
that they are planting right up to
the graveyard as it is sometimes ex.
pressed
"On the Hastings farm we don't ex-
pect to put in an acre more Of cotton
than we did last year, because we
think it time above all others to
play safe. What we will increase to
the limit Of our ability will be food,
grain and forage, beef cattle and
hogs.
"The safe way is to first supply all
needs of family and stock from ones
own acres, and then put surplus acre.
age in cotton. With bread and meat
in hand, and garden producing
steadily through spring, summer and
fall; with home canned vegetables and
fruits on closet shelves for winter ia.
Bile use; with corn in the crib and hay
and fodder in the barn or stack, the
farmer can be largely independent of
cotton prices in the fall. The farmer
SO provided for is never distressed
He can sit on his cotton bales with |
mind at ease, and sell in his own good |
time when prices are right.
with labor comparatively scarce ,
and fertilizer high, any material in

be at the expense OF, food and
grain acres that are in reality far
more responsible for the south's pres
