An effort is being made to get
the government to make Peace

prove successful if the citizens a.

with Senator Fletcher and Con-
gresham Drane some time ago
and word has been received from
Senator Fletcher that Congress
had made an appropriation to
have the river surveyed. Recent

Many WIN claim spItzberuen.

More than 300 years ago, in 1914,
James Of England, formally claimed
Spitzbergen. The Muscovy company,
a British concern, was ordered "to up
hold the kings right to Spitzbergen"
by an order in council. That claim
was allowed to lapse in the same man
ner In which the Russian claim lapsed,
the Britons interested In the country
say.
with the end OF the war old data
will be dug up, with records Of COM
paratIvely recent times, to bolster the
contentious OF the various claimants,
as Spitzbergen is sure to occupy a
prominent place in north European af-
fairs. Uncle Sam is happily out of the
matter because of the sale by the Arc
tic Coal company, although judg-
ing by precedent 1t never was likely
that this country would go so far as

the land. Such course was urged
IN America in 1912 and 1913.

The Boys and Girls Department
! will take tremendous leap forward
this year. A feature will be the work
OF ten demonstration teams brought
from as many sections of the state,
the expenses of which are paid by the
State Fair. ~
The Dairy department again will
present an exhibit worthy of the
greatest dairy state in the Union. The
Women's Work department will. sbe
resplendent with exhibits along war
work lines. The Educational depart
ment, last year almost too large for
the Educational building, will be even
OF larger magnitude this year
The Bees and Honey department
will occupy new quarters and will
show decided gain in magnitude.
Aid to Wa- the Keynote.
Every department and every fea-
ture of each department will this year
tend to be of special service to Uncle
Sam along war aid lines. When the
classifications were arranged this de-
parture was kept in mind
Not only in this period of war is in
creased production of essentials nee
'essary, but producers must be aided
as far as possible in producing substi-
tutes for those supplies demanded for
the support of the American armies
and their Allies in Europe
That the big expositions Of America
are invaluable for reaching the pre-
ducers is a fact recognized by the
American and Canadian Governments
early in the war period, and that is
why both Governments are strongly
cooperating with their agricultural
fairs.
Records for 1917 show that over 3d.
100000 attended fairs in the United
States alone, and among those who
attended the fairs were large per-
centage of producers of America.
The United States Department of
Agriculture is sending to the Wiscon-
sin State Fair this year an exhibit that
will occupy over 5000 square feet of
space with educational features.
A Hoover exhibit occupying as much
space is being prepared under direc-
ton of Mr. Hoover's department.

eral Government exempts fairs and
their exhibits from all war taxes, and
it also returns exhibits to fairs free
Why Patronize a Fair?
Nowhere in America can so much
lines be obtained at so small an out
lay as can be obtained at any of
Americas worthwhile fairs.
Every basic department of the Wis
date educational lines, and every de-
partment is full of inspiration for
those interested.

will be seen at the Wisconsin State
Fair. All of the space in machinery
row and in the tractor section was
taken before June Is. Twenty-six
tractor companies will make exhibits
and also will demonstrate in the i'm
mediate vicinity of the fair grounds.
Scarcity of labor is a serious prob
lem to producers. In Machinery row
will be shown the products of inven-
tive genius and manufacture along
agricultural lines that will take the
place of the farm hand now doing his
bit on the western front.
Every cooperation is given makers
of machinery in providing displays
that will be worth journey from any

Machinery row will be an exposition
Of all the best machinery that is
available on the Wisconsin market,
