s~AssAFRAs TEA

Indianapolis News-A friend who
has not lost his touch with green
fields and running brooks" remarked
a few days ago that sassafras will
soon be with MS again. There must
be some benighted city jewellers who
do not know that sassafras is "a tree
OF the laurel family, common In east
ern North America, with a spicy, arc.
matte bark, especially on the roots,
and very m~ucilaginous twigs and foil
age" IL Is also FAR aromatic stimu-
liant" Its peculiar habitat, we should
say Is Montgomery county, in and
about Alamo. where James Buchanan
fillmore, the laureate of this laurel
lives and tolls and thinks. Those
who have read his tribute thereto vii
never scorn this aromatic stimu
liant. We have not, we regret &c
say. his poem at hand. but there is in
IL a stanza that runs something like
this:
o s~assafras o sassafras.
Thou art the stuff for me.
And In the spring love to sing
Sweet ~sassafras of thee.
There is in the thought of this "ar-
omatic stimulant" a subtle suggestion
of fields and woods, and also of rural
tayerns which carry sassafras tea on
their In these days of soft
drinks IL ma be that the proprietors
OF sufdae dispensaries will find IL to
their advantage to include sassafras
tea in their offerings. Only the other
day our brutal food administrator de-
creed that there should be no more
afternoon teas. But surely ever he
would not object were sassafraS tea
served. There ought to be a great
market for 1t in England, the usual
supply having been cut OFF. When
we are looking for substitutes the
claims Of The "mucilaginous twigs
and foliage" ought not TO be over
looked. But II Is from the poetic and
romantic point OF view that we pre-
fer to consider the subject. With
sassafras knocking at our doors
spring mnat he si..cs. here aid With
spring come baseball, and the circus.
unless Mr.. McAdoo puts an embargo

The remarkable prices obtained TO-
day for nearly all classes OF property
sold are really startling when com
pared with prices OF a score OF years
ago. Public sales all over the state
report prices received for live stock,
farm property. etc. that will certainly
smash all records OF previous years.
But with these remarkable condi-
tions readily seen upon every hazad,
and as readily realised by everybody,
another wonder Is that farm lands are
not in greater demand az greatly in
creased prices. The product OF the
farm was never 80 high before. the
present opportunity 10 make money
upon the farm was never ~equailed in
this Or any ether country. A fair
comparative value. based upon pro-
ducctivity. CIVILIZATION, safety, per-

signs OF this movement were noted
slightly in Hand county the last two
years upon the farms In the building
Of new and larger barnc, but the
towns had not awakened to Il. Then
came the war, with It's accompanying
fear and dread of enterprise. and the
increased prices OF material and labor.
So the movement for new buildings
in towns and country, for which this
locality is amply prepared, both by
resources and needs, has been check
ed.
And yet why should IL be checked?
Men are clamoring for farms to rent
and houses to occupy. The prices of
material and labor, compared with the
prices of what the farm produces, are
higher today than beforehand the
need is greater. A steer, a hog. any
kind of grain. corn, cream or butter.
will buy as much building material
today as they, would before the war.
So why should any one hesitate to
build and improve just the same as
they would have done under condi-
tions existing a few years ago?

Wisconsin's senatorial primaries
