The Wilson Label Protects Your Table

We adopted the above slogan" be-
cause 1t tells in six words the full
meaning of the Wilson V-shaped
label. Too much Importance cannot
be attached to the value of q distinc-
tive label to the consumer. 1t Is a
simple, sure means of Identification.
1t guides the purchaser. It puts the
manufacturer on record, to stand or
fall on the quality of his products. The
consumer will either accept or reject
by the label, as he or she comes to
know labels and the!7 value.
When you buy meats or other food
products bearing our label you are
certainly entitled to know that you
are being treated fairly and squarely
and that the goods you buy are what
we have Led you to expect them to be.
The Wilson label Is the symbol of
our good name. 1t is our guarantee

to you peIsc nally that Wilson pro-
ducts are clean. pure and wholesome
and that these standards viii b
maintained. 1t Is the keystone Of our
reputation - the finishing touch to
every Wilson product.
Whenever and wherever you buy
anything bearing the Wilson label
you may absolutely depend upon the
wholesomeness and purity of that
meat or food product, Tho wilson

that Wilson products arc selected

Musicians Should View
Work as a Whole

q good Christian and playing the piano
are two different things" How many
students take pleasure in reading
through some Of the less popular. bu,
none the less delightful. compositions
of the masters? They feel they dare
not give up the time to enjoy some o.
these gems for fear that in the mao
race for technical supremacy they Will
be outstripped by their nearest rivals.
We need more breadth in our musical
culture. Can one name Chopin or List
without feeling awe and wonder at the
great love and fervor which inspired
these men? How woefully like mere
tradesmen it makes us feel Most OF
the systems of study seem to me manu-
featuring plants for the wholesale pro-
duction Of teachers who have lip 40
quaintance with the most advanced
ideas and principles, but whose souls
are barren Of sympathy for the true
spirit Of their art.
This tradesmanlike attitude natural
ly reacts on the pupils. with the result
that comparatively few are educated to
sympathetically study the music of the
great masters, or to even listen intelli-
gently to music when performed at
concerts. One needs but listen to the
ence to be convinced. This important
part Of musical education. the attend
ance at concerts, would be more fruit
full Of results il the student would ia,
aside his envious, hair-splitting critI-
cal attitude, and leave his nature free
to enjoy the beautiful in the COMPOSE
tions presented, without concerning
himself too much with the personality
Of the performer.

War Stimulates
National Music
BY Custave L. Becker

The war has stimulated all the es-
sential activities Of our country.
War conditions have, indeed. revealed
how great are our resources, though
they are only in part exploited, and it
is with pride that we contemplate the
farreaching possibilities.
But there is one field which must
suffer a temporary arrangement, if
not serious setback, and that is art,
though IN such ways that it could be
made directly helpful toward winning
the war;" it has, of course, been ex-
plotted An unnecessarily great activ-
ity it seems has been shown in the
vcritable deluge of patriotic songs ETC.,
produced within year, of which not
the thousandth part will ever be gem
orally known or accepted. We may
console ourselves by considering that
each would-be national song" writer,
through his efforts and the incidental
exercise of the esthetic faculties, must
have developed to some extent better
appreciation Of music even if not help
ing very much to win the war.

ing pedegogues it would result in the
loss of their natural powers of fluent

is that in focusing the pupils atten-

SECRET OF IMPROVED ROADS
Every Farmer Must Do His Part in
Keeping Highways Dragged
Work Is Appreciated.

The secret of good roads is for every
farmer to do his part in keeping them
dragged, according to the Lyman Coun-
ty Farm Bureau News. County Agent
Lewallen writes further: Road drag
ging fits in about the best of any work
on the farm, for a fellow can drag
for a few hours when it is too wet to
get into the field, and he certainly ap-
preciates having it when it is time to
go to town with the wagon or the auto.
Farmers who have dragged the roads
have the thanks of all other farmers in
the country and the praise of all Wis
itors. But the roll of honor should be
increased.
cit seems queer that so easily con-
structed an implement as a road drag
can create such wonders on heavy
roads. The best way to convince your
self is to drag your own stretch of
road. If you have already dragged
it every farmer who has gone over it
is talking about it and wishing to
goodness that you had gone on couple

LIVE
STOCK
MOST ECONOMICAL OF FEEDS
Better Use of Cheap Roughage or
Farm 5y-Produets Should Be
Practice of StoeIumen.

(From the United States Department Of
AgricUIture.)
StOckmen should make better use Of
cheap rOughage or farm by-products,
such as cOrnStalks or straw in winter
ing beef COWS, is the opinion Of spe-
cialists Of the United States depart
ment Of agriculture after making a
survey Of nearly 500 stock farms In
the corn belt. The records which they
obtained show that there is no fixed
rule that should govern the quality or
the kind of feeds used except that the
ration should be adequate and eco
nomica1.
Whether the coarse feeds of the "a
ton shall be composed mostly OF hay,
fodder, silage, or grain, will depend or
dirarily on local and seasonal condi-
items.
In years when there is a serious
shortage Of corn, farmers Will find it
necessary greatly to reduce the guam
tity of the corn that ordinarily is fed
as grain or fodder or silage. That this
can be done under many circumstances
Is evident from a study OF the rec
OIds. They show that a ration which
does not contain corn fodder either as
grain or in fodder or silage can be fed
without any detriment whatever to the
COWS or their offspring. There were
149 Of the farms studied feeding such
rations, the majority of them in Kan
sas and Nebraska, and they produced
as good calves as the farms feeding
corn The winter feed bill on these
farms was S13.1O per COW, as against
an average of $1,000 for those using
grain, fodder, or silage, showing a saw
ing OF $3.50 per head due TO elimina-
ton Of corn.
The use OF such a grainIess ration,
which on these farms consisted solely
Of hay and cheap roughage, is, of
course, not always possible or practi-
cable. If this type of ration is TO be
economical, there must be an abund-
ance of cheap hay to combine with the
rough feeds; or, If the bulk OF the "a
ton consists of cheap roughage, which,
unless there is some winter pasture, is
largely composed of carbohydrates.
there should be a sufficient amount Of
leguminOus hay, such as alfalfa or
clover, to supply the protein needs Of
the animal. In localities where there
is a shortage Of hay but where large
quantities Of cheap roughage, such as
corn slower, straw, or damaged hay,
is available, this cheap rOughage often
can be made to serve as the greater
part of the ration by experimenting ii
with a small amount OF some cOncen-
trate high in protein, such as cotton
seed meal. The farmers in that pOr-
ton Of the corn belt lying west OF
the Missouri river, where alfalfa Is
grown abundantly, nearly always car

the cheaper ration were not feeding

The debutante and her youthful
friends are entitled to a few of the
keen joys of life, even in war times.
With sweethearts overseas, or in
training camps, and days filed with

tainly earns the heart-healing joy that

frOck. And the party frock is easier
to make at the home than other frocks,
excepting, of course, house dresses; it
is for this reason not an extravaganza

OUTLOOK FOR ROAD MAKING
Rather Dubious on Account of Short
age of Labor-Decided Reforms
Should Be Made.

With the shortage of labor for road
making and the more general use of
the roads for heavy hauling, it is like
~ that the roads as they exist will not
be able to withstand the hard usage,
and the outlook is dubious for the au-
tomobile. Many industrial companies
are making use Of fleets of trucks to
deliver their goods, instead of subject
ing themselves to the uncertainties of
the railroad service and the wear and
tear on the roads thus made use of is
more than they can take care of. This,
more than ever, makes it evident that
there should be some very decided re-
forms made in the matter Of road
building. The makeshift repairs which
have heretofore been made are not
now sufficient, and all new road-build-
ing work should be made on the most
substantial lines.
