Going Over the Top.

Rev. A. Schwartze gave a talk for
the Red Cross at district school No. s
Wednesday evening. AS his talk pro-
crossed he repeatedly voiced the
thought OF its being a great and
blessed privilege to be enlisted in the
work or this noble organization. Not
only at this time, and on the battle
held, but anywhere suffering is to be
found, IN times Of war or of peace. a
ready response comes to every call
for help.

Believing that the use of power on
the farms of the state will mean in
creased prosperity for the individual
farmer larger yields to the benefit of
the state and nation and will reflect
advantageously in the states cities
and villages, the Agricultural Division
Milwaukee Association Of Commerce,
has endorsed a state wide farm power
demonstration to be held from June
10 to Is. This demonstration will
mean that tractors and other power
units will be operated in practically
every community in the state. Manu-
facturers and dealers will attempt to
show just what power can do on the
farm Farmers will be urged to study
the possibilities in the machines.

Talking about spies, one may be

loyal pup who will take $1,000 of the
peoples money for a $4,000 job It

President Wilson's appeal to the
Boy Scouts of America to help win the
war by locating supplies of black wal
nut trees has been followed by ar
rangements under which the War De-
partment, the Forest Service, and the
Boy Scout organization have joined
efforts to find the needed timber. AS
President Wilson pointed out, the
War Department program makes the
securing of black walnut lumber for
use in manufacturing airplane pro-
pellors and gunstocks of the utmost
Importance. War Department and
Forest Service officials are combing
the country for black walnut timber,
which can no longer be found in
abundance anywhere but has to be
culled, often as single trees, from
mixed forest grOWths.
