PREVENT LOSSES
FROM CUTWORMS
Help Wisconsin Do Her Share, By
Feeding Poison Mash

Not so much a bigger acreage as a
bigger yield is the hope for greater
food production for 1918. Destruction
of insect pests and plant diseases is
one of the ways to get the bigger yield
without increasing the expense of the
amount of labor needed. The replant-
ing that is necessary when a crop is
attacked by cutworms, grubs, and in
sects is more costly in time, labor, and
money than the prevention of the pests
would be.
Cutworms are somewhat difficult to
| fight, according to l.. G. Gentner of
the entomology department of the Uni
versity of Wisconsin because they feed
mostly at night and hide in the soil
during the day. They can be traced
by their work. They cut off the young
: plants near the surface Of the soil
making replanting necessary and eat
the leaves of the older plants, causing
the plants to become stunted and fin
ally die.
Poison bran marsh is the most effec-
| tive means of fighting the cutworm
now. The mash should be scattered
over the ground before the crop ap-
pears. If broadcast over the fields
in late afternoon or early evening
at the rate of to pounds an acre
the cutworms will feed on it at night
and die. If the pests become trouble
some at any time during the season
| The mash may be used again.
The poison bran mash is made by
mixing l pound of white arsenic or
/ 2 pounds of lead arsenate with 25
pounds of dry bran or middlings.
Then dissolve 1 quart of low-grade
molasses and " pound of salt in a
quantity of water. Mix this with the
bran and add enough more water to
make a crumbly mash. Care should
be taken to keep poultry from the
mash.

REV. FATHER J. B. HAUCK CELE-
BRATES THE TWENTY-FIFTH
ANNIVERSARY OF HIS Or
DINATION TO THE PRIEST
HOOD

Thursday, May 80, 1918, was a big
day in the life of Rev. Father ]. B.
Hauck of this city, when he celebrated
the twenty-fifth anniversary of his
ordination to the priesthood. 1t was
not only day of joy and gladness
for him alone, for he was surrounded
by the members of st. Mary's Catholic
church, the children and instructors
of st. Mary's school, a large number
of visiting priests, and there is no
doubt but what the happy event was
made doubly interesting because of
the presence of Father Hauck's two
brothers, Rev. Father J. L. Hauck of
Arcadia, Wis, and Rev. G. A. Hauck
of Monticello, Ia. Although the
weather was not of the best, still a
very large number of people of his
church, both old and young, attended
the impressive ceremonies of the day
and the program in the evening.
Father Hauck was given many beauti-
full gifts on this happy occasion.
The days festivities opened with a
Solemn High Mass in the morning,
at which time Father Hauck was as
sisted in the ceremonies by his two
fopSCidI was
with the mass. The choir was accom-
panied by the Schultz orchestra dur
ing the services. At noon a banquet
was served to the honored priest and
his visitors from out of the city, in
the dining room of St. Mary's school
building. The dining hall and audi
torium, also the church, had been
elaborately decorated for the event.
The banquet was rendered by the
school children.
In the evening a four-act operetta,
'EVerysoul," was given by the chill
dren of ST. Mary's school in their
priests honor, and it was very enter
tanning, and also a proper closing to
memorable day. Schultz orchestra,
which assisted the choir at the morn
ing services, and played at the ban
quet, also rendered music in the even
ing.

There has been great fishing in the

long he had been fishing said, "about
an hour" and during that time he

JUNGLE LAW.

Contributed by ROBERT HER.
RICK to the National Security
Leagues campaign Of Patriotism
Through Education.)
Returning from Europe, cursed with
war, / was more convinced than of
anything else In life that what is be-
ing slowly settled in that grim trench
land over there DOES mean some
thing to us-more, oh, 80 much more,
than money or legal rights or SYM
pathy for bleeding humanity. Not
that am especially apprehensive Of
raid on these United States, the crum-
bling of our skyscrapers, with the ex-
action Of colossal indemnities. That,
too, Of course, might happen II Ger
man arms were triumphant, If the
pax Germanica were imposed upon q
beaten world.
But that Is not to me the worst. To
me the German peril does not lie 30
much In her big guns, her submarines,
her "Prussianized war machine" 1t
lies In herself, in her image of the
world. If Germany could win even a
partial victory under her monstrous
creed of applied materialism, illuminat-
ed as it has been by every sort of Gym
ical crime, with its reasoned defiance
Of contract, its principle Of 'indispensa-
bic severities," its military logic. etc,
THAT must become the moral law Of
all the w0rld-the jungle lawl In or
der to survive we must all accept this
law of the jungle. And Of all the
PROSTATE peoples Of the world forced
to accept the victor's new version of
the ancient commandments proud
America would be the first. We can
not resist the fascination of success.
So the German ideal, the German
tyranny over the individual, the Ger
man morality-one rule for you and
me as individuals anc another Utterly
irresponsible rule when we zst togeth-
er as a state-would be initiated by
Us more than the German thorough
ness In civil and military organization.
