REDISTRIBUTE UNUSED
SUGAR CERTIFICATES

of you have any unused sugar GER
tificates, please return them to the
sugar committee at the State Capitol
so that the sugar may be redistributed
where it is needed" is the plea Of
the Wisconsin Food Administration.
1t is only through such cooperation
that the committee is able to furnish
sugar for home canning purposes and
other emergency cases.
Keeping sugar certificates which
one does not use is not saving sugar"
Magnus Swenson, Food Administrator
explained to one storekeeper who
boosted of periodically saving sugar
by not cashing a 300-pound certificate
for September when applying for her
allotment.
You had in your possession a GER
tifcate for 800 pounds which no one
but yourself could obtain. When you
did not get the sugar and held the GER
tifcate, you did not use it, and no one
else could either.
by returning the certificate to the
sugar committee, We could have re-
distributed it, and your patriotic
economy on Sugar would then have al
leviated actual shortage elsewhere"

THE BOYS AT THE FRONT
WATCHING LIBERTY LOAN
BY Lieut.. George Savage, Fighting
Priest of the French Army, Who
Fought in the Trenches More
Than Three Years.

france did not want war. She did
everything that she could in honor do
to prevent war, but war was forced up
| on her by Germany.
For four years France has waged
this war with her whole soul and now
America has come into the struggle
with all her power in man and mate
| rial resources.
We are now sure that we can win
/ this war. We have for the last few
months witnessed the turning of the
tide in favor of the allies, but we
should not, however, be led away by
| our recent successes.
Let the people at home understand
| that they, as we'll as the men on the
| fighting line, have to take their share
| in the struggle. This war is not war
| of soldiers alone, it is war of ma
lions, The front is not "over there"
| only, it is everywhere.
The men over there are doing their
| share. They are giving their lives.
Let the people at home understand that
the only business today is to win the
| war.
| Let nobody be deceived as t.3 the dur
alton of the war; or conclude from our
recent successes that the end is near.
| We shall win. We are at a turning
! point. But the end is yet far away.
| 1t is my conviction sand all soldiers
| who have been two OF three years at
| the front, will tell you the same thing.
! that this war may last two or three
| years more. Woe to Us, if, by false
! optimism or weakness in our determi-
| nation, we should come to slacken in
/! our efforts. Our mistakes should have
| to be corrected with the blood of our
boys.
| The boys at the front are watching
this Liberty loan. They shall judge
| by the amount subscribed of the inter-
| est the people at home, in the state,
| in the county, or town are taking in
| their efforts and In their sacrifices.
| They know that when the order comes
to attack it is their duty to go and to
give their lives if necessary, and they
are willing to do it. But they feel, too,
| that when the cali comes from the
| president to the people at home to give
the money necessary for the prosecu-
| ton of the war, it is the duty of every
one to give all that he can and that the
people at home should be willing to
do it. 1t is their share-and how
small when compared to that of the
| fighting MANN the struggle.
Let the men at the front know and
feel that the people at home are heart
and soul with them in this war; that
the people at home are ready to make
every effort and every sacrifice as long
as will be necessary to win that COM
| plete and decisive victory which shall
secure for all nations freedom and
| lasting peace.

Red CROSS man
FINDS CARTOON
FROM HOME

This is the little story of how Alas
ka and France were linked together
in a little wayside inn of France.
John Erie Davis of u. S. Base Hos
pital No. II, walked far into the
country from the city of Nantes aid
stopped at little wayside estaminet
or wineshop. From the floor he picked
ed up a trampled newspaper printed
in English, and printed in Anchorage,
Alaska.
Now before he put on uniform Mr.
Davis was on the staff of the Central
Publicity department; and for four
years before that he had been an as
sociate editor of the Western News
paper Union And NJ. G. Kettner is
one of the W. N. U. artists and a good
friend of Davis. Red Cross members
will remember Mr. Kettner as the ar
fist who drew one of the ost telling
Red Cross cartoons for last winters
membership drive.
ut made me feel mighty close to
the Red Cross office, to find one of
Kett's cartoons lying around on the
floor" wrote Mr.. Davis. "And to
think that it had been printed away
up in Alaska, just as far from home
in the other direction, and that
should find it over here on this side
of the Atlantic, in a little out-of- the
way place like this"
And to prove that the story was
not made up out of his head, he in
closed part of the page torn from the
paper, which is now one of Mr.. Kett-
ner's priced war relics.

WHEAT WILL Be MOVED
/ IN TINE, SAYS HOOVER
Shipments for Pershing Cause Tempo
rary Delay-Farmers Need
Not Lower Prices.

In a telegram received by the Z. S.
Food Administration for Wisconsin
Hoover explains the delay in wheat
transportation and urges Wisconsin
farmers not to sell their wheat at q
low price through panic at this tempo
rary situation.
Enlarged demands by General
Pershing for material resulting from
the progress on the western front have
necessitated a temporary diversion Of
grain ships to his service" wires
Hoover This curtails the wheat
movement from the seaboard and has
filed our seaboard and terminal ele-
rators, thus checking the movement.
Reports have reached the Food
Administration that some farmers
have become panicky over this situa-
ton and are selling wheat at less
than government prices.
There is no occasion for this If the
holders will have a little patience. In
time the wheat will all be moved and
the full price secured by every
grower. The government is willing to
buy all wheat at the guaranteed price
as fast as it can be moved"

FARMERS AT START OF
TWO VITAL CAMPAIGNS
TiIIers of the Soil Must Prepare for
Next Years Harvest and New
"Fghting Loan"

Farmers of the United States, whose
work the last twelve months in for
tifying the food lines of the allies has
been of such supreme Importance, are
now at the start Of two vital cam
paignS-preparing for the 1919 wheat
harvest and for the "Fighting Loan"
The wheat harvest of 1919 will be the
Liberty Wheat Harvest and the gov
eminent has asked again for the CO.
operation and support of ale wheat
producers to SOW 47,500OOO or more
acres of winter wheat this fall to
guarantee against possible partial crop
failure next year. Uncle Sam knows
from past performance that the Amer
lean farmer again will "cOme across"
at the call. The United States grain
grower now realizes fully that he is
the main line of defense in the allied
food army, and he is proud Of his po-
sitiOn and of his achievements. With
out the essential food reserves there
will never be a grand smash that will
overWhelm the destroyers of the
worlds peace, but with the American
farmer holding the line, the food re-
serves will be on call, and the grand
smash will come as surely as the
American nation is in the war
Coincident with the beginning of the
campaign for the Liberty Wheat Har-
vest will be the inauguration of the
campaign for the Fourth Liberty Loan
the Fighting Loan" Both Of these
campaigns are vitality important. Both
will be backed to the limit by the
farmer. Both will bear positive witness
TO the enemy of the solidarity and sim
gleness of purpose Of this country
both will heighten the morale of the
allied peoples and give q conquering
spirit Of confidence to the allied
armies; and both will enable Uncle
Sam to throw the whole weight of his
mighty resources against the cracking
German line, so that the harvesting Of
the Liberty Wheat Crop may indeed
be a harvest of freedom, the Hun
overthrown, justice and right triumph
ant, and the world at peace.

= THE "TEA PARTY" :
I. AND THE KAISER .
By LOUIS ALBERT LAMB.

BY LOUIS ALBERT LAMB.
Ny grandsire painted red his hide
In ancient Mohawk style,
And crept down to the Mystic side
TO wait a little while.
Then other Yanks in redskin guise
Collected at the bay
And took the tea ship by surprise
And threw the tea away.
Old George the Third was much
averse
To freedom for the Yanks;
His taxes were q deadly curse
He taxed and gave no thanks.
But when the Mohawk Boston men
Dumped all the tea to port
King George began to think again
And arm for warlike sport"
He sent his Hessians over here
To kill Cap. Bankers boys.
To burn the school and meeting house
And other such annoys;
But when they came to Bunker Hill
That jolly day in June
And Warren met 'em with a will
They piped another tune.
The Yanks have got job today
That's worthy Of the race;
The kaiser treads a rocky way
And spars to save his face.
But all the Yanks have gone to France
En- route for old Berlin:
If we buy Bonds at every chance
You bet the Yanks will win!
Our grandsires dished King Georges
will
And sailed all his tea.
Our boys will do the same for Bill,
Kaiser of Germany!
The only way to push the work
And make Berlin our own,
Is this: Get busy, do not shirk
But BUY THE FIGHTING LOAN"
