With LaFollette in the Senate,
It's governor refusing the peo-
pie their right to elect a success
sor to the late Paul Husting, and
one of its most prominent news
papers barred from mail privil-
eyes, for reasonable behavior,
the world at large has some
reason for viewing wisconsin
with suspicion.
The set the clock ahead an
hour" brain storm has struck
Congress and a law may be pass
ed to that effect. Whether it will
have the effect of getting some
people up any earlier will have to
be demonstrated But while en-
gagged in such work, our law
makers do not have to act on
such unpleasant features as re-
moving U. S. Senators, and War
Secretarys who view the war
from the comfortable distance of
5000 miles away.
The Chicago Tribune in a be-
Iwixt and between editorial on
the recent passage of the Suf
frage amendment by Congress
displays the same sensitiveness
to taking a definite stand, that
it did when the prohibition meas
ure was before the honse. 1t said
in part: MEMS opinions are in
the highest degree fluid. That
encourages US to think that
the Tribune will see the light as
soon as it discovers which way
the people are going.
Somebody is always taking the
joy out of life. Now comes
Brig. Gen. Foltz with an order
forbidding newspaper cores

as though by the time the U. S,
army all gets to the battle field
that the fighting will be done by
the same type of men that fought
the Revolutionary and Civil wars
and not by a hot house plant

the misdirected energies of their

Speaking of the severity of
the present winter, such old
timers as VIM. Tellefson, Finn
Lawler and w. A. Bradford, say
that this is mild one compared
with the winter that Gene Shep-
ard, of Rhinelander. logged Sec
ton 81, which at that time was
located on Round River, and
where Bradford was foreman of
the landing crew.
In speaking of that time, the
other day, Mr.. Tellefson said
that many a morning fire was
started under the hunks to thaw
Bradford and Lawler loose from
the blankets.
Finn Lawler who had charge
of the supply store, states that
one bitter, cold, Saturday, Shep-
ard drove up with a jug of frost
bite cure for the boys, and be
fore they could get the team I'M
hitched every man in camp had
frozen an ear or a toe. More
than once, he had to light a
torch and thaw out pencil be-
fore he could jot down the daily
stems the crew was in the habit
of getting.
Bradford corroborates all this
but says he wore out three can't
hooks that winter and never had
a mitten on his hands. Regard
ing the bookkeeping task, all
he ever heard about that was
quite the reverse, and when set
Ting up time came in the spring
they had him charged with $500
for a pair of lavender silk stock
ings that had never been on his
feet.

AN EMERGENCY CALL
FOR SURPLUS FLOUR.

An emergency call has been made
by the U. S. Food Administrator for
the return of all surplus -four in the
hands OF consumers, and the appeal
asks all persons holding more than
thirty-day supply to tuEn this back
to their dealers before May is at
present retail prices.
To this end 1t becomes necessary
to call for all -four over and above
an amount needed for thirty days in
every family; which need is based
upon six pounds of -four to each
person for the thirty-day period.
1t is not intended by this call to
attach any blame to persons holding
quantities Of -four, nor cast any re-
Election upon their motives in obtain
ing same, but rather it will be looked
upon as an act OF patriotism in the
case Of every citizen making the re-
turn.
In many instances, stocks Of -four
have been accumulated in accord
ance with the lifelong custom of lay
ing in a supply in the fail OF the
year, when as a rule stocks were
large and prices low; or as in the
case of many farmers, by exchanging
their wheat for -four; or 1t may be
that the accumulation has been made
In numerous other ways which cam
not be criticized and which cast no
reflection upon those who have laid
in a supply: yet by reason of the
existing emergency, 1t becomes i'm
perative to make this request and the
Food Administration expects that
this appeal will be met with a ready
response from every patriotic citi-
zen.
Failure to comply with the spirit
OF this call before May Is, would
make the offender guilty of hoard
ing under the federal statutes; yet it
is expected that the call will be
view as patriotic duty and that all
will show a willingness to share
some part of the burden of this war,
and in this instance will aid the
Food Administration by making a
prompt return of their surplus or an
immediate report OF their supply.

MUST BE NECESSARY ON
FARM BEFORE EXEMPTED

President Wilson has sustained the
first Kansas district appeal board In
the first case appealed from the
boards decision under the question
naire system, according to word re-
ceived here yesterday. Marion F.
Eckhardt, of Chase county, was
placed in class 1, following an agri-
cultural claim, the board taking the
stand that while he was a farmer,
and has been engaged in farming all
his life, he is employed in assisting
his father on farm of eighty-seven
acres, thirty-five Of which is in culti-
vation, indicating that he was not
necessary to this enterprise. In his
decision, the president stated that
while the evidence showed Eckhardt
to be skilled farm laborer, his help
was not necessary on his fathers
farm.
This ruling will effect number OF
Dickinson county farmers.

They left all the checks, however.
At $3.50 o'clock this afternoon no

The thieves secured brace and
bit from a store in Carlton and used
it to bore in the rear door Of the

able to unlatch the door from the
inside 1t is not known whether the
men used a torch or drill but they
succeeded in getting an explosive in
side the safe to blast IT, The door
was blown out.
Probably fearing that they had
been heard, the robbers took the con-

spoils. A number Of checks were In

It is believed the men went to

left in the car. A thoro inVestiga-
