The Island of Elba, celebrated al
the place where Napoleon was i'm
. prisoned In 1914, has since Italy's en-
trance into this war attracted mucl
attention as the location of valuabl
iron mines, writes correspondent.
In view OF the scarcity of iron mine,

Ing ore or pigs from the United States

the Genoa-Rome Express, which skirt,

island rising out of the water six mile,
distant, think rather of the tall foun

In the days before the war this ex
press stopped at Campiglia to put of

and their Austrian prisoners internet
on the island. The side track at Cam
piglia has been enlarged since the war
too, for the purpose Of handling the
large quantity Of iron freight brought
over from Elba. Napoleon's name has
almost been forgotten on the island, so
busy are the inhabitants with war
work. How can get to the Villa San

Hypocrisy Of mon. artIs anship "


Washington, Jan. IS The Republi
can Publicity Association, through its
President, Hon. Jonathan Bourne, Jr..
today gave out the following statement
at the Washington headquarters:
The unalloyed hypocrisy of the
Democratic plan for non-partissnship
is disclosed by the fact that in order to
be non partisan. the action must result
in the choice Of q Democrat We had
an illustration in the case of the Mayor
atty contest in New York City, where
the Fusion candidate was Democrat,
running against Tammany Democrat.
The pleaders for non. partisanship never
for q moment considered the advisable.
ity Of uniting upon Republican,
though the city has in the past given
its vote to Republican candidates.
I'VE have another demonstration in
connection with the coming election of
q senator in Wisconsin. Wisconsin is
. strongly Republican state. With the
exception of 1892. it has voted it's conf
dence in Republican principles in every
national election since the days Of Lin.
coin. 1t is true that division in Re.
publican ranks in 1912 gave Woodrow
Wilson the electoral vote that year, but
the combined votes of the Republican
and Progressive candidates, both stand.
ing for the principle Of a protective
tariff, far exceeded the vote for the
party of free trade Even in 1916,
when many states were deceived by the
kept us out of war" sophistry. Wis.
consin recorded her vote for the Repub-
icahs nominee. The eleven Congress.
men from Wisconsin are Republicans.
The'state has Republican governor,
an overwhelmingly Republican legisla.
ture and every state Office, 30 far as
political affiliations are shown, has
been filled by Republican by vote of
the people.
I'm view of that record of the politi-
cal principles Of the people Of the state,
Q man who claims to be mon partisan
and still urges the election of a Demo.
crat In Wisconsin is brazen hypocrite

Tastes and IncIInatIons Of Live Stock
Should Be Consulted So Far
AZ Is Practicable.

Provide variety Of feeds; this has
been found to agree with the appe-
titles and tastes of the animals. The
tastes and inclinations Of the stock
should be consulted in so far as prac-
ticable, especially In the quality Of
feed; quantity will never make up for
lack of quality. There is nothing that
will exceed the green grass of nature
for the horse, the COW, the sheep or
the hog. This has its period and
makes an excellent balanced ration.
1t is an antidote for almost all the Ills
and ailments Of the animal, especially
those caused by a season on dry feed,
abuse. and starvation after severe
winter: AS final admonition for
lack Of feed, never start into the win
ter with more stock than your supply
Of feed will abundantly supply. The
harvest Is abundant and there is time
to save feed.
