The eleventh inning dawned clear
and warm, with Walter johnson on
the mound. Koop. with one foot in

fast one and swatted a sickly fly to
Morgan. Tilly Walker tried to knock
the ball out of the park, but the best
he could do was hit an easy grounder
to Johnny Lavan and was shot in his

Then up stepped George Burns, the

A Phenomenon

About fifty years ago living on my
farm on the BarabOO river, | saw re-
markable sight in the western sky. It
was early in the evening and I was
down by the river to look at some
traps | had set there. The evening
was clear and beautiful and | was
walking westerly, when suddenly there
appeared q burst Of flame cut of the
western sky and an object nearly as
large and round as the full moon ap-
peaTed bursting open and half Of it
fell or moved quickly toward the
earth, a distance that appeared to the,
eye, at the great distance away, about
eight feet Of space between them, but
may have been many miles. And curl
Ously enough there was a very crooked
and tortuous chain, thickly studded
with brightly shining lights, like,
diamonds all along its course, connect
mig the two bright mOOnlike objects
Could it be q meteor? 1t was very
wonderful, and I was puzzled. 1t re-
manned very bright for some time
then it slowly faded away 1t looked
as if it were millions Of miles away
but it's fading away seemed to pro-
nounce it a meteor bursting in the
earth's atmosphere. My brother
George was living in Illinois and he
saw it, An account was published i'll
the newspapers, but l saw nothing
concerning it by scientific authority,
I have seen many mete0rs, but this,
whatever it may have been,was most
beautiful and wonderful, and Of course
if seen quite low in the horizon it
could be much farther away and ap-
pear larger, and still be exploded in
the earth's atmosphere, than if seen
high up in the sky, the same as the
moon appears much larger when seen
near the horizon than when near the
zenith. and less brilliant, because
seen through far more atmosphere.

Growing Potatoes

This Office has received long artl-
Gle on potato growing, and the conclu-
sion is as follows:
Potatoes are a speculative crop.
When the price is high everybody
plants and everybody plants larger
areas. When the price is low, fewer
plant and more of this fewer number
plant less areas.
One other fact renders potatoes a
speculative crop. They cannot be
kept over to the second year; they
must be got rid Of in a year.
1t just happens that had the farm
ers gre Xn oats and peas or soy beans
on the excess potato paintings last
spring they would have hit the nail
right on the head, and would have had
a good lot of feed for cattle when feed
, was sOrely needed.
Just as a guess, for the coming sea
son, will it not be the proper thing
for farmers to be conservative with
potato paintings and plant little
longer to grains and forage crops this
spring?
| A farmer said to me one day: Pc
, tatoes ought to bring so cents bush
ell. VII, when I grew potatoes,
thought so too, and I guess every
grower thinks so. Potatoes ought t.

bring SO cents a bushel, and they
would if every farmer would plant
more conservatively, and grow the
less acreage a little better. But you
know if potatoes would surely bring
so cents a bushel every year that very
few farmers would grow anything else
and a lot of people who are not farm
ers now would quit their jobs and go
to growing potatoes. At ia bushels
to the acre the acre return would be
ffty-seven dollars. With yields of
200 bushels that many now get, the
acre return would be 800. Few crops
could compete with potatoes, and few
Jobs could compete with potato grow
ing. All that keeps the world from
going potato growing crazy is the fiuc
tuating price. At that, too many farm
ers over roduce potatoes.
Conclusion: Plant what you can
take care of we'll in a rotation which
will keep up your soil fertility, and
potatoes will prove a profitable crop
one year with another. But over-plant
in acres and you will suffer This is
natures corrective. Do these re-
marks help you any in determining
about what to do with potato planting

ALL WOMEN READERS
OF THIS PAPER

Thousands upon thousands Of wom-
an have kidney or bladder trouble and
never suspect it.
Womens complaints often prove to
be nothing else but kidney trouble or
the result Of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in a healthy
condition. they may cause the other
organs to become diseased.
You may suffer pain in the back,
headache and loss of ambition.
Poor health makes you nervous, lrrl-
table and maybe respondent; it makes
anyone so.
But hundreds of women claim that
DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, by restor
ing health to the kidneys, proved to
be just the remedy needed to over
come such conditions.
A good kidney medicine, possessing
real healing and curative value, should
be a blessing to thousands of nervous
over-worked women.
Many send for sample bottle to see
what Swamp-Root the great kidney
liver and bladder medicine, will do fol

moral sense and blurred vision. They
put themselves in the class with the
German people who have not thought
enough for themselves to realize that
in the end no nation can endure which
accepts one-man domination, autoc-
racy, based on the absurd and dark
aged belief that that one has an in
herited divine right" to rule. ALI
other causes and reasons, pros ana
cons, of this war, pale into insignifi-
canoe compared to that one insane be-
lief of Kaiser Wilhelm that God has
appointed him as the supreme ruler.
Kaiser Wilhelm has not the divine
right to rule-and at heart every pro-
German knows tor else he is an
imbecile.
Until the free peoples of the world
put down once for all that astounding,
medieval claim, divine right Of kings,
and that might makes right, there will
be no peace. The people in Baraboo
and everywhere should realize why
we are at war-realize that the con-
tinued growth of humanity that the
very eistence of this country depends
on the breaking down Of world domi-
nation by a betrayed nation driven to
destruction by their crazed ruler. To
hinder and obstruct by diverting the
thoughts and energies of thu great ma
1ority in their tremendous efforts to
Save America and all free peoples
from destruction and domination is a
black crime They know not what
