ADJOURN POLITICS

AApAhi " hthuhtH ANtatANt w
discarding politics for this year.
We have heard Of but little COM
ment on the matter, but the ma
jority we have heard express
themselves think II an excellent
idea II IL can be executed.
The people over the state gen.
orally, Judging from expressions
In the newspapers are In favor Of
the plan suggested BY Mr.. Bur-
sum so far as IL is practical. The
idea Of calling an extra session
Of the Legislature for the prin-
cipal purpose Of giving the sol
diers the right Of suffrage and
at the same time calling Oft the
election does not seem worth
while.
II an amendment 10 the con
stitution Is necessary and same
has 10 be voted upon, Il will not
save a great lot Of expense TO
adjourn politics. Then there is
q possibility Of such an amend-
ment being defeated which would
ueccssitate an election after all.
There are very few people, "
any, who are opposed to the sol
diers voting. and we see no rca-
son why this should not have
been thought Of while the legis-
lature was in session, but If the
; party leaders will agree to call
of politics for the present there
is really no reason why the sol
diers should vote.
The proper thing for rs 10 Do,
in our opinion, that is II the con-
. stitution has to be amended 10

Mr.. Bursum, is to go ahead with

PUBLICITY AND CRITICISM.

Congress shall make no law ss .
ehridging the freedom OF speech or of
the press" so reads q clause In our
Constitution.
This Is wise provision. The citi-
Gems Of a democracy should at all
times know OF and be able to criticise
the management OF their affairs. In
vesttgation and criticism In the pres
ent war have been OF great benefit
In Fastening our preparation by point
ing out errors that have been made.
There is no doubt whatever that the
great safeguards in the conduct OF the
war are almost unlimited publicity and
the right of criticism.
We are told that constructive crit
icism is always welcome, but who is
to decide what is constructive? Why
not criticism without the adjective?
Most citizens believe that Universal
Military Training as a corrective OF
our appropriateness would have been
constructive. and yet 1t was not adopt
ed. Who can tell. II It had been ac-
cepted when first proposed, what the
result would have been on this war!
If we had had more publicity upon
the production of aeFoplanes, shipping
and ordnance, the suggestions of think
ing men would unquestionably have
stimulated the rapidly with which
these articles were being produced,
and the delays that have occurred
might have been avoided.
There are things the Government
cannot make public, and these the peo-
pie do not ask 10 know. But in the
main full Information concerning the
progress Of preparation can safely be
given to the people. 1t is the peoples
war; 1t is q war supported by the peo-
pie, financially and physically. ami
suggestions by them should be sought
and considered.

THRESHERMEN ARE ASKED TO CO.
OPERATE WITH FOOD ADMINS
A Special Threshing Committee to Be Organized in
Each Wheat Growing County in the State.

A project 10 mobilize Wisconsin
threshermen TO save every possible
kernel OF wheat raised on Wisconsin
farms is announced by the U. S. Food
Administration. TO do this special
threshing division has bsrn created as
a part of the Federal Food Adminiistra-
ton with headquarters in the State
Capitol at Madison.
1t Is freely admitted by the agricul.
turists, threshing machine men, ma
chine operators and others with init
mate knowledge of threshing opera
lions that there is a big waste in
threshing, variously estimated at from
one TO ten per cent.
Waste in threshing depends largely
upon the condition of the machines as
they enter the harvest fields and the
care with which they are operated
While it is believed that the majority
of machines in this state operate salts
tactorily. conservative estimates would
indicate that on an average one and
one-half bushels in every one hundred
threshed can be saved by having all
machines go into the harvest fields in
excellent repair with ample power and
by seeing that during harvesting they
are efficiently adjusted 20 meet varying
conditions.
One bushel in every 100 threshed
can be saved by having al machines
in such repair that little or no grain
leaks under and around them on the
ground and providing that what does
leak out in this manner and is other
wise scattered by the machine is
cleaned up and threshed before the
thresher leaves the field
Three-fourths of a bushel in every
hundred threshed can be saved by
careful handling OF bundles from the
shock to the machine or stack and by
arranging the bundle wagons so that
all grain that skaters in them shall
be caught in them and saved. Thus 1t
Is estimated that a total of three and
one-fOurth bushels in every hundred
threshed may be saved.
Committees to Control Work.
A special threshing committee will
be organized in each county composed
of the County Food Administrator
County Agricultural Agent and re
tired thresherman representing the
state or local Counsel of National De
fence. Each Of these committees will
open county headquarters accessible
at all times to farmers and thresher-
men.

WHY FRANCE NEEDS WHEAT

France never did produce all the
wheat she used In 1914 her production
was about 80 per cent OF the normal
consumption In 1917 the production
was but IS per cent of the normal pro
duction
After deducting the amount neees-
sary for seed. it is estimated that the
1917 production will be One-third
Frances needs.
France cannot ecOnomiSe on food as
much more than usual as we can in the
United States + cause her food con
sumption has always been very close
to her actual food necessities They
cannot increase their supplies by war
gardens. for most OF them are In the
habits of growing their own garden
supplies. and they are famed for their
careful household management.
Last year France kept her food sup
ply production plus exports) up to
IS per cent Of normal This year 1t has
fallen to between 50 and 70 per cent
The rations Of the French soldiers
has been cut twice. A soldiers ration
is never lowered until the danger at
home from food shortage far outweighs
the damage the game lack can do at
the front
England. who needs food badly con
siders the French situation so serious
that she shares her scanty supply Of
wheat with France.

THE PARAMOUNT ISSUE.

Good Americans will indorse out
right the program OF the National Sc
curity League TO prevent the election
or reelection OF any members of Con-
gress this year who are not known to
be vigorous proponents of the war or
who can be lured TO support any spe-
ci0uS efforts at an II conclusive peace.
The country needed such nonpoliti-
cal organization as the league to lead
the fight against the milk fed office
holders and office seekers who, In

tons here and, without It's motives be-

For that matter, Americans should
be careful about electing anybody to

These committees will render every
possible assistance to the threshermen
in their county. paying particular at
tenlon to the problems involving the
repairing of machines, securing of
necessary mechanical help in co-ope-
ration with the Department of Labor,
securing a sufficient supply of fuel in
cooperation with the Fuel Admin
stration, and assistance in obtaining
sufficient needed repair parts and sup
plies to last threshermen thru the COM
ing season. The committee will also
take into consideration what help, If
any, can be extended threshermen and
farmers. so that waste will be reduced
to a minimum during the harvesting
operations.
Threshermens Assistants.
To cooperate to the utmost with the
threshermen. the Thresher Division
has Assem- bled a corps of men who
are experts in repairing threshing ma
chimes and engines, and who will be-
available in each state to cooperate
with the threshermen requiring expert
help. These men will be known as
threshermens assistants and will be
subject to the call of the county thresh-
ing committees when needed
The 'threshermens assistants" will
not act as Government officers, but
simply as friendly assistants to the
threshermen, their sole duty being to
assist in every way possible to bring
the machinery of the state up to the
highest point of efficiency and thus to
help save the grain which is so badly
needed.
Besides this cooperative plan. there
will be additional cooperation by the
manufacturers of threshing machinery,
who have agreed to send out their
service men and to render every posi-
Bile assistance to the owners and ope-
rators OF their machines.
Every machine should be operated
well within its capacity and rush work
and wasteful methods must not be per
mitted. as the value OF the grain saved
by careful operation. il well within
the limits of their capacity. will many

The threshermen of the state OF
Wisconsin have always been intensely
patriotic and the Food Administration
feels sure that they will Civ the
alton in this movement.
