war, could the South plant, cultivate
and harvest a bumper crop next
year? The answer is almost emphat-
| ically no. The colored labor which
is vitality necessary to the raising of
bumper crop, has been heavily
drawn upon by this government and
is serving with the men abroad. A
large part of these troops are in the
labor units and are used for the con-
struction of warehouses, the building
of railroads, the handling of supplies
and the other necessary purposes OF
supplying and keeping our great
army at the front. Until the last
fighting soldier returns the labor
units will be needed on the other side
and will be kept until amongst the
last for disqualification. Thousands
Of negroes have been taken from the
farms, and thousands from the cities.
The man from the farm who has
lived a year or two years in close
proximity with his fellow men in
camp will be unwilling to return to
the farm and to its peculiar lonesome
ness but will cling to the cities with
a hold that will be hard to break.
Thousands of ablebodied farm labor
ers will never return but will seek
employment with the masses of their
fellow men and this fact of human
nature must no be overlooked in con-
the possibilities of raising an
other bumper crop in the next few
wears.
On the whole, we see no prospect
from labor standpoint, of producing
a large crop next year and many
possibilities of having the fifth short
crop in succession with the demands

One final world in reference to

For the first time in the history Of
living men, the South is its own

'pinion that in spite of violent f1uctu-
tions and possible temporarily lower
'rices, the present level is warranted

DfL|vtRSADDRESS
At SECOND CITY

On Tuesday evening, Superintendent
A. c. Kingsford delivered a liberty
loaon address at Reedsburg, James A,
Stone presiding at the meeting. Mr..
Kingsford told those present the story
of the old WEIGH lady who prayed in
her native tongue fearing the Lord
could not understand the English
language. He said that might be all
right for the old lady but it would be
no excuse for her son to use the lam
guage of his parent in supplication.
Mr.. Kingsford reminded his hearers
that when people come to this country
they should adopt American ways. He
blamed the German press, the German
ministers. and the German politicians
for making an effort to perpetuate the
German ideas in this country.
R. w. Prothero accompanied Mr..
Kingsford in the trip.

SAYS WEDDING HAS

that Miss Marcella Coates of Baraboo

license has been issued but that the
wedding has not yet taken place, the

Miss Coates is a daughter of Mr. and

the prospective groom is son of Mr..

EVENT HELD FOR
AU[D LANG SYNE

One of the happiest meetings in the
history of the Greenfield birthday club
occurred Monday evening, April q,
when several members of the club
gathered at the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
| Montgomery Wilkinson of Fairfield to
help the former celebrate the passing
of another milestone.
An evening of pleasant social chat
was followed by delicious birthday
supper served at midnight to about
eighteen friends. In spite of the fact
that Mr. Wilkinson is three score and
ten years young, he was not spared
the ever exciting ordeal of the birth
day initiation into the club, much to
the extreme enjoyment of all present.
Mr. and Mrs. Wilkinson formerly re-
sided in Greenfield, near the Man
Mound school, but recently removed
to farm east of Leach Lake. Their
iovial presence has been greatly
missed in the community by all who
knew them, and their friends consid-
cred it great pleasure to meet with
them again to take cup o. kindness
yet, for auld lang syne."
The guests departed during the wee
small hours, each with the heartfelt
wish that Mr.. and Mrs. Wilkinson may
see in happiness and health many
happy returns of the day.-X.
