COPPER DIVIDENDS FALL OFF SHARPLY

A reflection of the increasing costs in the production of copper and the regulation of the price at 231s cents by the government is the reduction in copper company dividends in the past six months. While this has not affect ed all the companies, of twenty-nine companies which have declared divi- dends this year, only seven have held to the rate established last year These are Anaconda, Inspiration. Green Can anea, Granby. Ray, Consolidated. Un- tied States Smelling and United Verde Extension. The latter is paying at a rate slightly higher than last years total as the extra dividends were not paid for all of last year.
 In view of the fact that some of the companies have already declared two quarterly dividends this year. notably the Calumet and Hecla group. it may be taken for granted that the dividend distributions on such companies in the second quarter probably mark the rate for the full year provided there are no radical changes from the present gen eral conditions.
 While Calumet and Hecla paid total dividends of SS5 per share last year and as high as S25 for three quartetrs. the rate was reduced to $10 per quar- ter in the last quarter of last year and last week was increased to S15. This is the only company which has in creased the distribution this year. al though Davis-Daly entered the divi- dend ranks for the first time. The last dividends declared and the amounts paid out of last years earnings of 29 companies is shown here:

NED IVEY IN FRANCE
But how the villag.

western picture. But how the villag-
erS did enjoy it-they all come.
We hang blankets ove our parafin-
ed windows to keep out the light. Get
a dose of Cinema every week. The
~" aim to entertain Us one a week
and that is held in the open. We
build a stage out of saplings and sup
ply wagon tarpaulins. Last week we
had a Madamoselle Somebody from
Theatre Odion, Paris, who sang us
little French songs. She was petite.
young and good to look at and had a
wonderfully expressive face and per-
~sonality. She could have had all last
months payroll if she had passed the
hat. Then there was a man violinist,
fine, and a clever magician.
This week we had a crayon artist,
comedy talker and banjo man, very
good. We are promised Billy Burke,
Geo. COhan and such stars. Can you
imagine such people coming to plac-
es, say like Rockville or British Hol-
low back in the states? That's the
situation here.
Must tell you of Ma cherie (my
sweetheart) Marie, 5 years old. Her
father is Italian, mother French and
she was born in Paris and is a per-
feet little lady in every respect. She
has a tiny Spanish doll which she
says is American and loves it to death
also a new parasol. She is about the
size of Martha and oh so fat. Kids
like little Marie wear corsets with
plenty of stiff stays in, not right but
l can excuse Marie cause her tummy
sure needs s~ideboards.
She wear wooden shoes with felt
slippers for protection, then tiny
short sox, ordinary little dress with
little white pants showing below,
rosy cheeks, great big brown Dago
eyes that just talk, brown curly hair
with a ribbon and often an enormous
rose perched on top of her head. She
comes to see me nearly every day and
sometimes brings Cuckoo" a bleary
eyed old dog who worships her.
She plays with the kittens, eats my
chocolate and cookies or whatever I
may have, often stays to dinner or
supper. l gave her a spoon to eat
with but thank you she preferred the
fork, so there we sit with our mess
kit of chow. She always gets the
bread and jam, I never get a smell.
She talks in French and I can tell
from her eyes whether 1 should ans
wer yes Or no. She's dimples from
one end to the other and always has
a kiss for me-. She also loves a red
headed M. p"
Then there is a family we were bill
leted with who / always invite over
to see the Cinema-the mother, so;
Marie, IS; Augusta, 5 and a boy and
another girl who seems to be a pal of
Marie's. They sit on my bunk and
have a great time. They are good
people according to their standards
but as all French, are queer when
measured by ours. For instance the
girls thought it a great treat to smoke
my Piedmonts and the Is year old boy
had too much wine which was per-
fectly all right with the mother who
sat right in their midst. They come
and go by themselves and shake
hands and "Merci Monsieur both
ways. They sure car give us lessons
in courtesy.

MAMMOTH DAT YIELD.
COUNTY HONE FIELDS PRODUCE
1O4 BUSHELS PER ACRE.-OTH-
Err CROPS GOOD.

Ten acres of oats at the county
farm produced 1910 bushels! This
remarkable yield was harvested on
a small patch of ground east of the
grounds and south Of the macadam
road. No especial fertilizers were
used in preparing the soil this year
but last year a commercial fertilizer
was used.
20 acres of wheat yielded 677 bush
els or an average of 1928 bushels per
acre. The asylum corn of which there
are about 80 acres is getting ready to
dent. 1t is of good quality and from
seed grown and tested on the farm.
In addition to the grain and stock
raised on the 507 acre farm the asy-
lum produces tons of vegetables and
fruits for the use of the inmates.

OUR PATRIOTIC CROPS.

The Herald was somewhat startl-
ed last week to see the Muscoda ed
itor advising a Richland subscriber
to boycott the local merchants be-
cause they helped a pro-German in
the harvest. 1t seems that the edi-
tor has failed to catch the idea. The
best answer is the one given out by
the Illinois Council of Defense in a
similar instance. The people of a
certain community rere advised to
harvest the pro-German's crops
whether he wanted it done or not. If
necessary the state would command
eer the fields. The grains are not
unpatriotic no matter where the
farmer stands. Uncle Sam needs the
food.

WZZKEN&& WSEEzE @e
46,747 Wisconsin Men

were in the United States Army service on May /, 1918.
Adjutant Generals Official Report). Fully as many more
Badgers are enrolled in the United States Navy, the Marine
Corps, Volunteer Engineer regiments, Medical units, etc. It
is safe to say that at this time 100, 900 Wisconsin men have
quilted their homes and labors and are serving in the field
under the Stars and Stripes. These patriots have left all
their home interests in your hands in the confidence that you
will not violate any of them during their absence. They are
giving their service loyalty and are carrying the banner of
Democracy valantly. Some must die heroica1y and the
others will return VIGOROUSLY. Your accounting as trustee
of their interests will then have to be made.
These 100, 900 Wisconsin men left their state as they had
fashioned it and want to return to it. Isit a square deal to
them that you, during their absence in your service, impose
repugnant forms Of restraint and control upon them? InAict
them with Prohibition which they Stunned while here and
to which they have not been subjected "over there even
under the strict discipline of WARP
Prohibition faddists never were able to impose their
anaemic theories upon Wisconsin people while these 100, 900
red-blooded boys were at home and within reach of the ballot
box. To attempt it now is not only cowardly but is a direct
and insulting slap in the face of these boys who left us as
guardians of their affairs and are fleeing ~ bullets for
hunnanity's sake.
No matter what your position may be upon the Pro-
hibMon question, if you favor the preservation of all our
soldiers interests and rights until they are at home to speak
for themselves, elect assemb1ynen and state senators who
will SO vote when they gather at the next session of the state
legislature in Madison. -

CORN PROSPECTS DROP
BUT FOOD PLENTIFUL.

The hot and dry weather of the past
two weeks have caused a drop in
corn prospects of $275, 900 900 through
out the country. This is the equiv
alent of 175,000,000 bushels. The
loss to cotton is a quarter of a bill
lion and other foodstuffs have suf-
fered an equal amount. With all the
loss there is a bright, very bright
side. Crops have been put in much
greater acreage than ever before and
the country with its immense har-
vests of small grains and prospects
for other crops can stand a loss.
Corn is maturing rapidly and a brief
spell will put it past frost danger.
The wheat loss is put at 1900, 900
bushels but the crop is larger than
last year or the five year average
preceding. Potatoes show a decrease
but tobacco prospects are much
brighter than in july.

FARMERS NOT TO BE TAKEN

en- deferred classification. Farm lab
orers of class l will not be taken un-
til after harvest, but they are still in
class and will be subject to call
then.
Unless final congressional approval
of the draft amendment, authorizing
registration of the 21-year-old men,
is delayed, these men will be listed
on June under present plans. The
bone of contention on the question
now is whether these men shall be
placed at the end of class one lists
and it is expected this will be settled
this week.

the Officials in the Dickinson county
draft headquarters to figuring yes
terday. This would mean that those

three would be called into service. 1t
is believed that it will depend on the
allowances made for the many Dick
inson men who have Joined the SER
vice to whether class two and three
men will be taken for the draft this
year. Probably 100 Dickinson men
have joined the service and the

Immediately reclassifed and If the
regjstrant has escaped military SER
vice he will be sent to camp, Cen
eral Crowder said. A large majority
of the experts" of draft age in gov
ernment work could be easily re-
placed by men outside the draft age
and by women, General Crowder be-
lieves, despite the fact that cabinet
officers have asked exemption for
many.

careful but some chance for a dis
pute seems to have arisen from
classifications given by the district
board. The matter will be investi-
gated.
