TELLS OF SUMMER
TRIP TO BARABOO.
BY Mrs. N. A. Rasmussen, Oshkosh,
in Wisconsin HorticuIturist


Motoring from Oshgosh at 1880 a.
"a. on Tuesday, August 20, by way of
Beaver Dam to Madison, thence on to
Baraboo we got the first glimpse Of
the town as we reached the top Of the
hill at Pansy Heights. the home Of the
Tooles. The evening was ideal, the
trip pieasurabls in every detail and
we reached Baraboo at just 8 o'clock
n. m.
On Wednesday, morning we went TO
the Al. Ringing Theatre where the
program was held and which with is
beauty enhanced by the exceedingly
sreditable flower and vegetable dis
play on the stage, presented an unus-
ually pleasing appearance ard was
somewhat out Of the ordinary.
The program was OF exceptional
merit, every number being of interest
and educational value to both men
and women and We were sorry not to
have been able to devote more time
to the discussions. The session of the
Woman's- Auxiliary In the late after
noon was thoroughly enjoyed by all
the ladies present and the organiza-
tion promises to be valuable asset
to the society in general as time pro-
crosses.
The evening program was differ
ent, very different from anything our
society has yet known. The address
by Prof. Kiekhofer, "If Germany
Wins" and the rare musical treat by
the Wisconsin Marine band and the
Liberty Chorus of Baraboo though not
dealing directly with Horticulture
touched the heart of every true Amer
lean horticulturist, and was we'll
worth travelling across the state to
hear. The fact that several hundred
people were unable to gain entrance
in the spacious theater speaks for the
merit Of the program and the interest
manifested therein.

THE UNDERPAID TEACHER

Some seventeen hundred teachers
in San Francisco's public schools re-
ceive an average of $107.98 a year
more than they did in 1907, while in
the last ten years the cost of living
has doubled. The teaching profession
always has been underpaid, but this
record is a disgrace. There is little
attraction to a really competent man
or woman in the present salaries. If
we paid higher salaries there would
not be so many incompetent persons
teaching our children. Raise the pay
of the school teachers by all means.

DINING

j cannot help believing that, in after
years, when men talk Of The Great
War, the judicial murder of Edith Ca
veil, a crime committed by German
soldiers or the officer who commanded
them, at some early hour in the morn
ing of October II, 1915, will take a
foremost place in the indictment which
humanity will lay against Germany
and her rulers. | use the word Judi

THE OLD RAIL FENCE

Among the once necessities of farm
life that reflected prodigality in the
use of valuable timber was the old
rail fence. Like many other almost
bygones OF rural life, it's place in farm
wastefulness now is we'll established,
and yet it had it's uses for which the
present straight line wire fencing can
not qualify. The old rail fences SER
rated stretches were the homes of
small animal life that now is rapidly
disappearing Around its timbers
there grew the uncultivated black
berry, with is sister, the raspberry,
and among it's recesses there thrived
the elder, whose fruit once was COW
eted pie material and whose blossoms
were the foundation for elderberry
wine that matrOns served of winter
evening when the neighbors gathered.
The rail fence, with it's invariable UNI
dergrowth, was the favorite proteQ-
ton for Boz White in winter, and
from it's top he sang in the warmer
seasons. Beneath, the little ground
squirrel burrowed. From safe retreat
he chartered if some intruder came
near to annoy him as he was busily
engaged in gathering his store of food
for the snow time To the harvest
hand it afforded protection at the end
Of the long row for brief respite,
and it's corners formed shaded hooks
under which the water jug might be
kept. And from what royal timber
was this old fence constructed! Black
walnut logs, chestnut logs and the
smooth lengths of the ash tree were
cleft by numerous rail splitters for the
seven high" fence that stood the
storms of decades. There was many
a black walnut rail whose timber
would make the manufacturer Of gun
stocks chortle with satisfaction had
he such present supply Of wood at
his command.-Columbus Despatch.

greatest, most influential and most
aggressive group of socialists belong

the aid, formal endorsement and col
laboration of that very group. Social
ism as a pacifist institution never had
so wonderful an opportunity for express
sion, yet it became as much part of
the awful holocaust as the most mer-
CHESS of the junker crew. Socialism,
too, had most to do with the anarchy
and chaos in which ruined Russia
founders. In promoting that cata-
clysm Germany made profitable use
of Lenine and Trotsky, conspicuous
socialists, bought outright by Hun
gold UNANIMOUSLY to betray their coun-
try to German tyranny. Socialism has
had it's trial here as peace agency

GERMANY'S PEACE RESPONSE

Gertrude Atherton, able historical
novelist, is right in saying Of Ger
many: us anyone really SO innocent
as to imagine that she would have
change of heart in our time? Yes,
when the leopard changes his spots
TO the gold stars of sacrifice. She
would whip Russia into shape, and
then. head down, charge the world
again with something like twenty mil
lions of trained fighting men behind
her"
That's the point exactly. Germany
gladly will yield every conquest in the
west if only left to assimilate Russia
and Prussianize its manpower.
But one cannot possibly do better
than to quote Mrs. Atherton further:
Now, il the pacifists, socialists, and
traitors in our midst, as well as those
weak timorous souls that weep over
our men who are delighted to be over
there doing their duty, can be silenced,
we stand a fair chance of winning the
war next year by sheer superiority Of

MAN WITHOUT A COUNTRY

According to reports, former Coun-
ty Clerk Ulrich Buehler thinks he
owes this country nothing, that he
owes all to Switzerland, his native
land, and that he refused to loan mon
ey to this government to keep the
soldiers in Europe in food and ammu-
milton. To the average citizen, it APP
pears that it would make little differ
snce to Mr.. Buehler if the Sank coun-
ty soldiers in camps in this country
and in France froze, starved or were
shot by, the Germans. To the average
citizen it also appears that the soul
of Mr.. Buehler was in Germany, with
the German government, with those
war lords who have murdered men,
women and children; who have
broken promises and treaties; who
have burned and destroyed property
far and wide regardless of others; who
have gone out as highway robbers to
loot the world; and who are now NOR
ally and financially bankrupt. Mr..
Buehler was once elected to a county
office in this county and now turns
his back upon the efforts of the coun-
ty, state and nation to help bring
right, justice and liberty again into
the world. If Switzerland owes Mr..
Buehler so much he should hurry
there on the first snip; if he feels as
he does about this country, his citi-
zenship should be taken away, the
same as with Becker, Naffz and Nag
Ter. Such men as Mr.. Buehler are vir-
tually without a country, and this
government is justly taking away the
! political rights from many of them.
With such citizens the doom of this
republic, founded On liber'y, would
long ago have teen sealed.

SAVE!

The people Of our allies save and
we do not. In France, Great Britain
and Italy savings bank deposits are
now increasing faster than in the
years before the war, and this despite
huger loans, higher taxes and greater
rises in the cost Of living. What's The
matter with US? Haven't we the eco
nomic manhood to stand the gait
The official report of the superintend-
emit of banking of the state of New
York shows that in the year ended
July l, 1918, the depositors Of the So
called Empire state put in $4,000, DOC
and took out $500. eo0. 600. Interest
earned increased the total by a paltry
$751; o3. or negligible fraction Of
per cent! There are excuses, of
courss; there always are for failures,
but nothing that covers the fact that
French, British and Italians save more
for war while Americans do not. There
is no sense either in trying to assess
the blame as between the savings
bank and their depositors. Both must
get together, stop Stacking and help
win.-Colliers.

SOME SOCIALIST PLANKS
Arthur Ochsner, socialist carlidat

SUlME SOCLALISl PLAINkS
Arthur Ochsner, socialist Candidate
for the assembly in Sank county, is
about as windy and unreasoning 6as
the cyclone that wrecked the Cath
Ollie church at Plain, near where he
has his rural habitat. Here are some
Of his preposterous tenets:
1. For an early, general and demo
cratic peace.
2. For compelling the war prof.
teers to pay the cost of the war.
3. For socialism, which will guar
antee to every man the full fruits of
his labor, thereby removing the main
cause of wars.
By his first of course he means
peace that will impose no burden upon
Germany for the mad havoc it has
wrought in the world. It is the same
mawkish Prussian, pusillanimous
mush, with a propagandist dash of the
sinister, that all the pacifst aides to
kaiserdom have regularly been offer

dorse the theory; SO would Judge

of State Nagler, likewise under prison
sentence for violation Of the espion-
age act. Victor Berger, indicted So
cialist, who could have furnished
Ochsner with the paltering phrase,
and maybe did, would in any event
agree cordially with the humbled Hin
denburg regarding its acceptability.
The late Senator Stone of Missouri,
uauded by the kaiser, would have
been more than agreeable. and also
that pious traitor out in the Dakotas
whose body is here" as the SEN.
fencing judge said, hut whose soul
is in Germany" The congressional
pack who voted against war, for an
embargo, against the draft-these are
all Of the Ochsner stamp, and the
Vierecks, the murderous Kruegers of
/; Clark county, and the interned Ger
mans in American prison camps. An
early, general and democratic peace!
What we do want is peace after un-
conditional surrender-peace whose
terms are determined by the victor;
and peace without any silly, glittering,
sophoromic accessories as general
and democratic
"War profiteers to pay the cost of
the war;" Is Mr.. Ochsner a maunder-
ing idiot? Why should not he stand
his fair share of the cost of conflict
whose eventualities are just as mo-
mentous to him, farmer, as to the
neighboring Gamer whose products
go for war purposes at handsome prof
it's that makes Ochsner himself
profteer for accepting high wartime
prices for his grain, his meat, his to-
bacco, his wool, for everything he
grows This plank is conclusive evil
dence Of a clouded and confused intel
lect, a dwarfed sense of justice, or
outright dishonesty Mr. Ochsner
might quite as equitably demand that
his more prosperous neighbors be
compelled to pay all his taxes.
That socialism could prevent wars
is nothing but an idle dictum, cheap,
fallacious platitude. The mightiest
war in all ages was made in Ger

Practical Suggestions on Individual Ways

correlated these facts with the disaster:
There was practically no litter in the
pens. There were no long, dry hoppers
with dry mash always available. Heavy
feeding OF grain had been given night
and morning. And, because Of wet
weather the chicks had been confined to
the pen almost constantly.
According to competent authority, any
one of the above conditions might prove
fatal. but taken together they were in
evitably fatal. Idleness, together with
large consumption of food. causes the in
testines of chicks to become clogged.
and. as a result. disease organisms find
favorable conditions OF growth. And
disease once started. spreads rapidly and
may sweep away a flock. or. as in the
case mentioned, carry away a large pro-
portion, and so kill seasons expected
profits.
Although 1t Is now comparatively late
in the season for some poultry raisers-
particularly amateurs-to have very
young chicks. others are at the critical
point in rearing their broods. Be sure
that your chicks range on grass. feed
grain in litter. and force the chicks to
work for their food. and so gain health
and bring to you profit.
