 The great popularity of the annual to alumni is evident from the fact that Earl Reno. the editor in chief Of the annual has received several letters from former P. H. S. students who desire to obtain a copy of the year book.
 It is certainly q shame that Maudo Stewart will be unable to take the part of Maria in Twelfth Night" be- cause of the injury she received re centlv. However, Mae Richards will handle the part well.

Twelfth Night" can hardly help being good when one considers the fact that every player in the cast has had experience on the high school stage before.
 Probably. for the first time in the history of the school, the business staff of one of P. H. SIS plays is composed entirely Of girls, for in Twelfth Night" both the business and advertising, managers are girls.
 Though it may be rather hard to have all the final examinations come on the same day this year there is still the consultation that the misery will not be long drawn out.

1t is through their cooperation alone
that the food administration can be
successfully carried out. Therefore,
acting under the direction of Food Ad-
ministratOr Herbert Hoover, I, Mag
nus Swenson, food administrator for
Wisconsin, hereby call upon and ur-
gently request the citizens of this state
to set aside Tuesday, September IS,
1917, and all Tuesdays thereafter dur
ing the period of the war as O meat
less day. / ask that all hotels, reStaur-
ants and other eating places serve
this practice be followed in the homes
of all patriotic citizens. In order, fur
Their, that Wisconsin may do it's share
in the conservation Of food, / ask that
Wednesday, September 10, 1917, and
all Wednesdays thereafter during the
period of the war be set aside as a
wheatless day. I ask the people of
Wisconsin to abstain from the use of
bread and pastries made from wheat
upon that day, to the end that the
wheat supply of the United States may
be increased for the time when greater
calls will be made upon 1t. 1t was for
this purpose that the people of Wis

Education of Disabled Soldiers,

THE Desirability of Vocational Edu-
cation and Direction for Disabled Sol
diers" is the title of a new bulletin by
Miss Elizabeth Upham, Milwaukee,
DOWner college, which has just been
issued by the University of Wisconsin
extension division.
The Importance of the problem Of
the disabled soldier is emphasized in
the pamphlet by the citation of exam
pies which show the mistakes made
by other warning nations in allowing
their disabled soldiers to idle away
their time and become a burden to the
nation as we'll as dull and dissatisfied.
Numerous occupations into which
disabled soldiers may be educated or
re-educated are pointed out. More i'm
pOrtant than the problems of dealing
with those who have lost arms legs
and eyesight, according to the author,
is the problem of handling those who
have contracted tuberculosis, heart
trouble, or nervous breakdOwns in the
war.
The mental outlook of these pa
tients is hard to combat, and work
Shops and vocational schools are
strongly advocated in connection with
hospitals in which such men are con-
valescing.
The fact that the United States has
time to prepare for taking care of dis
abled soldiers and helping them to be
of economic value to the country in
stead of a drain on it is emphasized.

dealers who receive 'heifer Calves are
selecting the well-formed, sound heif-
ers and are selling them to farmers
at a slight advance over the market
price, so that they go back to the
farms. There was an increase in
April, 1917, of 500 in such sales at the
Milwaukee yards, and an increase of
600 such sales in May, compared with
the same months in 1916.
Reports from livestock shipping
centers in the state indicate that farm
ers are raising as many calves as
their housing facilities aHd feed sup
ply will admit.
For several years the animal hus-
bandry department of the college Of
agriculture has been urging farmers
to raise only pure-bred calves, so that
the herds of Wisconsin have gradual
~ been improved. The report of men
connected with the agriculture extern
sion work Of the university say in
the report made to the state council
that the farmers are following this ad-
vice more than ever before.

Free Publicity

The y. S. Government is about to
offer more War Bonds for sale and
they want the Daily and Weekly press
Of the country to give them free pu-
blicity and help make the sale. Just
why the Government wants the press
free is more than we can understand.
They pay everybody else for the ser
vice they render in connection with
this enterprise, but they expect the
press to give their services free. For
instance they go to the large plate
houses and pay for their plate matter
They pay all the men who are engaged
in the preparation of the matter that
goes into the plate. They pay the
Express Co. for all plate matter ship
ped, but they ask the publisher to
print TIE plaCe matter Tree IN his news
paper. They also expect the editor to
write favorable editorials, have them
put into type all at their own expense,
and then publish them free. All of
this service costs the publisher great
deal of money, all free to the govern
ment. Will some one please tell me
why? The only reason that we know
OF is because the newspaper man and
publishers have got them in that dead
beat habit. The newspaper men are

Germany Wants Peace.

All signs point to the fact that Ger
many is very anxious for peace. She
is making no progress against her
enemy but to the contrary is losing
ground Her soldiers are all to the
front with the old men, women and
children at home to look after the
business. The French and German
armies are gradually approaching the
German border. No telling how soon
Germany will be suffering for the
destruction of her property similar
to what France and Belgium suffered
earlier in the war. These are the rea-
sons that make us believe that Ger
many is anxious for peace. Of course
she does not want to sacrifice any
thing if she can help it. To secure
peace, however, she will be obliged to
give up everything in France and Bel
GUM, give her people a republican
form of government and do her share
with other nations in agreeing upon
universal peace commission who
will hereafter settle all differences
between nations by commission. The
sooner that Germany comes to this
conclusion the better it will be for her
future The longer she delays peace
terms the more she will suffer. The
present help the allied forces. are re-
ceiving thru the U. S., Japan, China
and other countries goes to prove that
the longer she delays peace the worse
it will be for her We believe Germany
is wise enough to look into the future
and decide in favor of peace before it
is too late.

ExhOrbitant Profits

We cannot understand why there
are some corporations and individuals
who take advantage of the unfortun-
ate conditions of war by charging ex-
horbitant prices for the necessaries of
life, simply because they belong to
organizations that make it possible for
them co do so. We have reference to
the recent conditions in Chicago in
connection with the supply of milk.
This is also true in the high prices of
coal, wood, gasoline and other pro-
ducts. Every month brings its rising
prices with no scarcity Of the product
simply condition that is made posi-
bic by combinations. Coal is exhor-
bitantly high as was proven in an in
vestigation in Oshkosh where the deal
ers were charging the consumer a
profit of from 81 to So a ton after
paying all expenses. Milk is selling
at Ii cents per quart and butter go
cents per pound, with prospects of it's
reaching 20 cents for milk and rs cents
for butter. 1t seems to US that there
is something wrong in this country
with the law, when it is possible for in
dividuals and corporations to obtain
such profits when the supply and de-
mand have nothing to do with it. There
is something wrong with a mans con-
science when he can charge or 3
hundred per cent profit and appear
friendly when he does so. His relig-
ion is not of such character as we
are taught by the rules of law laid
down in Christ's time in the Bible. No
wonder that crime is committed and
hatred engendered against those who
pile up wealth under these circum-
stances. Some day a great reaction
is going to take place and somebody
will have to pay the penalty. Our
liberties and privileges in this country
are too great. The viciously inclined
have too much protection in our pres
ent law. The time is coming when
the people are going to rise enmasse
| and cause great trouble if there is
no relief or change.

The Bank that does things for you

A curious complaint is filed in an
action at law which has been brought
against the Southern Railway Comp
any at Chattanooga, Tennessee. The
complaint recently operated tank
train" carrying shipments from sui
phuric acid plant. The tanks" leaked
and the acid flowed to the ground and
spread out on the grass. Cattle along
the right of way ate the grass and
died in large numbers. The railroad
company made settlement with the
owners of the stock, but the Chatta-
nooga Humane Society, has brought
action against the company on the
charge of cruelty to animals. There
is no society for the prevention of
cruelty to railway companies.

to be envied at the present time. The
newspaper press of the state and the
nation are criticizing him very severe
ly for his pro-German sentiments. We
feel inclined the same way, not so
much for what he says and does in the
Z. S. Senate, where he is entitled to
the full latitude for the support, or
defense, of any legislation that comes
before that body for action. A. u. S.
Senator is entitled to all the rights of
free speech and discussion Of public
matters that come before the Z. S.
Senate for disposal. We are not in
clined to curtail his rights in the pub
lie discussion of matters before the
u. S. Senate as we believe no Senator
should be limited in his rights to dis
cuss all questions with full freedom
of speech in expressing himself as he
believes his constituency requires. We
do believe however, that he has no
right az Senator to leave his official
duties in Washington and go out into
the country and make speeches that
are pro-German in their sentiment and
detrimental to the best interests of
the u. S. Government in the prosecu-
ton of the war against Germany
When he does that we believe that the
press and people of the country are
perfectly justified in censoring him for
that. In this action he is going be-
yond his perrogatives as Senator.
Whether this action justifes his ex-
pulsion from the Senate We are in
clined to have our doubts. If he be-
comes offensive in his discussions in
matters in the Senate, then that body
has right to expell him, but we don't
believe it has when he makes speeches
outside of the U. S. Senate.

The industrial commission has is

as to the educational attachments of
the children to whom child labor per-
mits were granted In Wisconsin. Fig
ures gathered by the state board of
education show that of public school
children in general who are fourteen
years of age, more than one-half have
completed the eighth year, but only
one-fourth Of the permit children of
the same age have done so. In fact,
nearly one-half of these children have
only completed the fifth or sixth grade.
Food-SaVing Plea Issued.
Wisconsin households, clubs, hotels
and restaurants are urged to observe
each Tuesday as a meatless day and
each Wednesday as a Wheatless day
for the duration Of the war by Mag
nus SWensOn, food administrator for
Wisconsin. A proclamation issued by
Mr.. Swenson reads as follows: "Pur-
suant to the authority vested in him
by the president of the United States,
Herbert Hoover, national food admin
istrator, has urged as patriotic duty
one meatless day and one wheatless
day each week as means of cOnserv-
ing the food supply. Owing to the
very great shortage Of wheat and
meat, and the urgent necessity of con-
serving the present food supply and
creating a reserve supply for future
needs, the people Of this nation have
been asked to n.aa..e personal sacrifices.
