Something of a Difference

The council of Richland Center pass
ed an ordinance fixing the salaries Of
city officials to be elected in the future
as follows: Mayor, $500 per year; al
dermen, $50; city clerk, $500; city
treasurer, 5000. The editor Of the
Censor was clerk Of that burg some
years ago and he received as yearly
salary the magnificent sum Of $25
and he furnished besides Office quar-
tiers for meeting Of the council. That
fairly well represents the fearful Of

In a sense the war will be Won
or lost in fields, orchards, pastures
and hog lots of the American farmer.
The hope of the American citizen,
not a farmer, also hinges upon ade-
quate agricultural production. Our
aeroplanes are useless, our guns are
spiked and our rifles jammed, our
shells are but as haTieSS baubles if
the farmer fails This aust be
understood in all its grim force by
every man, woman and child in Am
erica; by farmer and those who are
not a farmer.
Dealers in poultry are subject
to a special ruling by the food ad-
ministration. The order says: 1.-The
dealer shall not, between February
II and April 80, 1918 purchase, ship
sell or negotiate the sale of any live
or freshly killed pullets. but nothing
in this rule shall prevent the purch-
ase or sale of live hens or pullets for
egg production purposes.
Wisconsin had 1,785,000 mich cows
last year, valued at an average price
of SIS per head over the 1914 price
when there were $4,000 less. There
were less horses, about the same num-
Der of mules, less other cattle, less
sheep, and less swine. The latter,
however, nearly doubled in value;
and horses and mules decreased in
value from the average price of $135
in 1914 to $117 now.
