1--WE DON'T have to argue in favor of
a League to Enforce Peace-the ma
tons which enter the peace congre IS
cannot do otherwise than establish it.
1t faces them as the only possible way
to achieve their object" So declared
ex-President w. H. Taft at the Wis
consin Win-the War-Convention for
Permanent-Peacea at the University of
Wisconsin last week. "Our league
looks to union of the democratic ma
lions of the world, to the will of the
peoples, expressed through their gov
ernments. as its basis and sanction. 1t
looks to the establishment of new gov
ernments by popular choice and con-
troll. 1t is to be founded on justice,
impartially administered, and not on
the interests of kings or emperors or
dynasties. 1t is to rise asa structure
built upon the ashes of militarism."

Big sDemand For Pure Bred Dairy
Cattle.

Wisconsin has been having an object
lesson in the value of purebred dairy
sires, with seven southern and western
states looking for dairy cattle in Wis
consin and paying premium on cattle
from a purebred sire and with test
ing record, the Importance Of contlnu-
ing the dairy industry in the state is
emphasized.
One group of Arkansas farmers under
the direction of their agricultural ex'
tension service bought nearly 300 head
of stock for dairy farms in northern
Arkansas. O. H. Liebers, agricultural
director for the c. B. & @. railroad at
Denver, Colo, bought FIVE carloads and
paid from $40 to $25 more for each
tested COW. Louisiana farms took 100
head of Wisconsin stock. A dairyman
from Birmingham, Ala, has been buy
ing cattle under the guidance of the
agricultural extension field men at
Madison, because of some early exper-
fence with unscrupulous dealers. H. T.
Converse took to the South Carolina
State Hospital farm foundation herd
of Wisconsin dairy cattle, the second
consignment to that state within
month. The first bunch of cattle went
to supply dairy farms in the vicinity of
military camps.

SPRINGFIELD, MASS, Nov. 9, 1918.
The outstanding feature of the ware
house season to date in the Connecticut
Valley is that labor is scarce and in
MANY instances inefficient, and that
wages are high. First-class male help
expects from Sd to SIS per day, and as
high as 81 per day is being paid for
women So urgent is the demand for
help in the warehouses that in some
towns a house toulouse canvass has
been made something after the manner
in which munitions workers are listed
in the cities.
Recent rains and attendant humidity
have enabled growers to take down
large amount of tobacco and the ware
houses, with few exceptions, will begin
the season with abundant stocks of to-
bacco. The run of the crop has cured
in splendid condition and cursory exam
nation of tobacco now being sized IN
dicates good colors, fine texture and
few white veins or other blemishes.

IT FILLED US with pride to note the
intelligent and vigorous Wisconsin way
our boys plunged into intensive war
training and bested the long-trained
troops of Germany, whose towering
conceit was so high that, when faced
with brainy army of quick, sharp in
itiative, they found they had neglected
vital principles that spelled failure.
This towering conceit of Prussianism
has amused Americans in Wisconsin
many and many time in years past as
German reservists have come over here
to make homes among US and have
seemed surprised that our people did
not take them at their only lofty esti-
mate. The crushing defeat of the best
German guards by green troops from
Wisconsin will have tendency to make
it more easy to live along side those
people who are still Prussians &C heart.
The fact is they have had the conceit
pretty we'll knocked out Of them and
should now be willing to stand and be
fairly measured instead of insisting
that our estimate of them and their
prowess in war was all wrong.-Fort

Look for Beauty.

Sometimes we are surprised when
an artist makes a picture of scene
familiar to us, and we discover that
instead of being commonplace and I'M
interesting, it is full of beauty. All of
us need to be artists enough to dis
cover that the common, everyday
things are as likely to be full of beau
ty as those that are distant and un-
familiar.

Rebuff Discourteous.

Augustin DAILY, who was regarded by
the general public as one of the most
frog-blooded of men, was standing in
the lobby Of his theater one evening
when he was approached by an actor
who presented his card and inquired !:
''Do you recognize the profession?'
ibid you ever see me stop and speak
to one of them?" was the freezing re-
ply.

In THE national food administration

In THE national food administration
more than four thousand men and
women have donated their services to
the government to help win the war.
More than one hundred business men

family is helping Herbert Hoover in
the home.

OUR total war costs to date are
twenty and half billions, one third of
which was placed in loans to our allies.
We have become so accustomed to
colossal figures that it is a pleasing
surprise to hear that our present war
expenditures are less than estimated
five months ago.

Sewing Exhibit
At Central School

Persons who attended the meeting
of the Teachers association at
the Central high school f%st night had
an opportunity to view q very inter-
esting exhibit from the domestic arts
department of the high school. 1t
consisted of some Of the garments
that have been made during the year
by the sewing class, which includes
some 20 girls Of the freshman year.
They have done their work under the
supervision of Miss Anna Kemp, hi
to all of those who saw the garments
last night. it is needless to mention
that they are splendidly done.
Though there have been other very
good exhibits Of work done in the
it Of last night was distif.c tive. for
the reason that there were a good
many Red Cross garments included.
Ordinarily the students would work
upon articles that would be, for their
own use. but this year they elected
tofdo a bit for the Red Cross work,
with the result that there nave been
72 hospital, /. shirts. and 70 suits Of
paiamas made and turned over to the
have Of course beer shinped, and
there were only r. few SAMPLES of
them on display last night More
recently the girls have. aiken up the
making Of garments for the refugee
children Of Belgium and France, and
these are being done for the Junior
Red Cross. A number Of the black
pinafores that are so much in demand
for the refugee children were among
the things shown last night.
A sample of h work of each girl
in the sewing class had been arranged
in the exhibit. and evidently they all
are very apt with the needle. There
was a great variety Of summer frocks,
nicely made and in very good style,
each girl having made n for her.
lself. There also was an array Of
many Of them bearing very attractive
hand-work. and not any Of them
looking like the very first sewing Of
girls in the very first year sewing
class.
Each student has made nine gar
ments so far this year. They are
thoroughly instructed by Miss Kemp
in the work of cutting, and they are
taught to alter pattern measurements
and styles sufficiently. to suit their
needs.
The fact that the course outlined
occupied a full year. and that the Red
Cross garments have been made in
addition to this, is worthy Of atten-
ton. The spirit Of wanting to help
win the war HI worked itself strong
ly into this energetic class OF girls,
and with the leadership OF Miss
Kemp. they are making their minutes
in the sewing room count for the
Red Cross. )
