U. S. BACKS WISCONSIN IN BEE
KEEPING DRIVE

In spite Of the unusually poor record
of Wisconsin bees this year, efforts are
being made to advance the profitable
industry of bee keeping, especially in
view of the sugar shortage. With hon
ey selling at % to 80 cents pound,
there is money in bee raising, even this
year, according to the apiarist at the
experiment station.
H. L. McMurry has recently been
sent from the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture to cooperate with
the experiment stations of Wisconsin
and Minnesota in advancing the indus
try. He will be stationed permanently
in Madison. Northern Wisconsin, es-
pecially in the light soil sections, has a
fair crop of honey, but in some of the
southern counties the crop is so light
that many hives will have to be fed
this winter.

upon our thought and purposes and
make it clearer what the end must be
and what we must do to achieve it.

A FAVORABLE SITUATION.

Secretary McAdoo has prepared some
data which is Of great interest as this
time of the fourth Liberty loan drive.
He shows that the present stages of war
finances are but beginning of what
the nation is capable Of doing
1t is shown that with an estimated
national wealth of $3.50, 900, ,OOO, 900 and
a national debt Of $12, 100000, 900, in
debtedness is only per cent of wealth.
But one major nation, Japan, is as ia :
vOrably situated. In contrast, Great
Britain owes 4o.7 per cent of the wealth
Of the empire, France 354 per cent,
Russia 635 Der cent, Italy % per cent,
Austria 80 per cent, and Germany 49,
per cent.
Germany is not SO favorably situated
as the figures Indicate, because a huge
amount of her war purchases have been
paid for with fiat money, instead of
bonds. When the fourth loan has been
placed the debt per capita of the United d
States will be about $3.50 That of
Great Britain is 5000, while France

IOWA COUNTY CANE BEST IN
STATION FARM PLOT

Iowa county has produced strain of
amber sorghum cane which for flavor,
sweetness and size of stalk bids fair to
be the best of its kind, judging from
its showing on the experiment station
farm at Madison this year. The seed
was obtained from farms near Dodge
vile by field men from the agronomy
department Of the University of Wis.
consin.
The Dodgeville amber is one of the 20
varieties which have been tested in the
experimental plots for the last two
years. In the opinion of A. e. Wright,
who is in charge of the experiment, it
may develop into a most valuable
strain.
Another variety called the Iowa
Wisconsin, of which the seed was origi-
nally grown in this state, has also
proved its worth in the experiment.
The varieties tested include both amber
and sorghum canes, as we'll as many
southern varieties. In spite of the fav-
orable weather the southern cane did
not ripen.

REPORT OF COMMUNITY LUNCH

The Tribune donated the hand bills.
The arrangements were entirely in
charge of Mrs John Gray, Mrs William
Treweek, Mrs Stephen Reed and Miss
Mary Healy, and too much cannot be
said of their tireless energy and acumen
in choosing efficient assistants. People
responded most generously and willing
ly to the collectors, which was remark
able so soon after the wonderful Red
Cross auction. The many young High
school girls, who served as mattresses
MADE things lively, and the room and
tables were very attractive with
autumn leaves and flowers.
The part that is usually ''unhonored
and unsung," the hard work of>clean-
ing the room before and cleaning up
afterward, was courageously and eff
GENTLY done by Mrs Treweek, Mrs
George Jeuck and Miss Healy. Best of
all was the hearty support given by the
community to the work of adding to
the comfort and welfare of Our Boys.

A SOLDIERS LETTER
Roy McMurrough.

The following letter written by Roy McMur-

P. McMurrough.
AS we were told today that we could
write back to the states will let you
know that I am located for the present
near Archangel on the Divena river.
Although the weather is much cooler
than in the states it is not so bad but [
think in the winter that it gets very
cold from the reports have heard.
We had a nice trip coming up here,
it being nicer than the first one.
The Y. M. C, A. opened up hut
tonight and they sure are welcome as
everybody is after tobacco and sweets.
We unloaded quite an amount of sup
plies from the American Red Cross so
give them a good boost. Those people
who wonder where the money goes
should see the food products and then
their minds would be more easy,
They seem to think that they will be
able to keep the port open until the
latter part of December so hope to re-
ceive some mail as haven't any at all
since leaving the states.
This country is very crude in great
many ways but if they only had some
means of getting the lumber to mar
ket it would be fine as there is great
waste of it here. They even use it to
fire their engines.
Will close hoping to get some pall
before the winter sets in as we are
pretty much shut in here in the winter.
