Can a farmer take his own wheat
to a mill and have it ground into -four?
How much can a man have ON hand?
The flour we get from the mill now

Editors Note: In reply to the above

committee says that a farmer can have
all the wheat ground into -four that
he desires, but should report to the
nearest food committeeman. These
reports are filed and in a case there
was a great shortage those with large
amounts would be asked to divide;
this, however, is not likely to happen.
If family has more than the allotted
amount Of sugar the quantity should
be reported for the same reason. No

Has Christianity Failed?

Never before in the history of the
world have mems ideals been so sud-
denly and so completely shattered.
Just at the moment when the churches
and peace societies were giving the
cry of "peace and safety, and nations
were siging peace treaties not to
learn war any more; the greatest war
of the centuries burst unexpectedly
upon the world The bright hopes Of
She prophets who predicted a mill
ennial reign Of peace on earth, to beng
ennial reign Of peace on earth, TO
begin in 1914, were hopelessly blasted.
THEN it was that spirit Of inquiry as
to Che meaning Of these things took
possession Of all classes of people,
botfr the learned and the unlearned
TIE forces Of wrong have not been
slow to create from this condition a
situation to their advantage. Among
the anti Christian forces the cry was
Immediately raised, "Christianity has
failed" And with sc0rnful disda1n
they ocinted to- bl0od-drenched Eu-
rope.
That cry has not been entirely with
out results. In fact, in The News of
recent date in the Ollapodrida depart
ment, we find tdis question asked:
"Tell me, if you can, why the Chris
tan world is now fighting the ffercesC
battle against Itself that the world has
ever known" Let us be reminded
that the Christian world is not fight
ing the fercest battle against ITSELF
Peoples and nations are Christian
just to che extent that the principles
enunciated by Jesus Christ are lived
out in their lives. Can we allow our
selves to believe that the atrocities
of Belgium with the horrible massa,
cres Of Armenia, are prompted from a
heart ruled by Christian principles
II is true that the present distress and
rerp1exity is regrettable, yet we can
not with impunity pronounce Chris
tianity at fault. The cry, "Christian-
| ity has failed" is absolutely untrue !;
Christianity has never been tried
While it has been nominally accepted
| il has never been actually received
Religious ambition is one thing; Chris
tianity quite another.
For Christian principles,

Antiquity may not be a profitable
sphere wherein to dwell, at any rate
to a very exclusive extent, yet upon
some of it's findings and theories are
based conditions and laws that endure
and are beneficial to our existence,
even to the present time.
1t may possibly be safe to say that
modern philosophy has not kept pace
with modern developments in other
directions, among which are some OF
great magnitude, and it would seem
that they should have opened up a
fruitful field for profitable research
and discovery for the thinkers of the
philosophic trend; yet we know that
the genius and energy of intensive
thought has, by the mad onrush of the
demands and requirements Of modern
times, been turned in the direction Of
the commercial fields Of activity,
wherein, under new conditions and dis
coveries to create, perfect and control

Earnest Plea for Theatre
Second Letter

I cannot vouch for it's Veracity, but
there is a report that a standing offer
Of $4,000 comes from Madison for all
that is removable from the Al. Ring
ling theatre. Think Of it! To literal

the paltry suTn Of $4,000. Oh! the

such a thing is allowed; the only at

Judge Lands so beautifully expressed

building that called forth the express

One Of the principal objections TO
the acceptance of the Al. Ringing the

the Ringing Bros. choose three out OF

Only a trained evangelist can save
souls. And with the present outlook
Of the world, it looks as if man must,

God is a Spirit, and a Spirit cannot
eat material food, only mental food
So, is heaven best typified as physi-

A Few Thoughts

as a Christian minister and asked me
if I was a Christian? | told him [

every good" said he, what church
do you belong to-"
I said, '"To the church of mankind
Jesus belonged to that church. He
was not priest, and worked outside
the church. In youth he may have
helped his father as carpenter; later
he was a teacher. l am carpenter
as we'll as a farmer and school teach

"Well, WELL" said he, ''I see you are
not a Christian.
"Are you?" I asked; "do you love
your enemies?"

"Why then can't you do such mira

do greater thangs than He, and also

miracles passed if they ever existed?
And tell me how a finite sin can re-
quire an eternal punishment? And
also tell me how God can permit to
have born into the world three chill
dren every two seconds Of time, fore
knowing that vast majority would
go to an eternal hell of woe! If this
is true, why should not good God in
some way stop this awful calamity,
the result, according to scripture, of
Gods own mistake in making man,
of which He afterwards repented! He
did not send Saviour until after
1000 years, and then to only one peo-
pie, who rejected him. And today all
heather nations reject Him. And who
can say whether the doing Of miracles
would be blessing or a curse. I ASK
these questions in all sincerity. They
are not meant to accuse or abuse"

some control over the property, to pro-
tect their own interests, which can
hardly be true, as they give not only
the Al. Ringing theatre, but real
estate also. I have from a reliable
source, that the reason is this: No
legal duty is imposed by the will of
Mr.. Ringing, but they wish to see
that suitable entertainments are pro-
vided, no liquor sold in the theatre nor
on the premises, and no Sunday shows
allowed knowing such to have been
the wish of their deceased brother.
1t has been remarked in connection
with keeping up the Y. M. c. A,
What would our Baraboo boys think
when they return home should they
find the Y. M. G. A. closed?" A fine
thought, as it is a splendid institution,
and would be greatly missed, and we
might also say, "Supposing our Bara-
boo boys" returned and found the Al.
Ringing theatre closed or destroyed,
can you picture their dismay, disap-
pointment and disgust?
If the theatre were closed or de-
stroyed, Baraboo would then realize
what it had lost. 1t is necessary that
we have a building to accommodate
the public, or we may be obliged to
resort to the courthouse steps, should
a speaker come to the city, as was the
case previous to the erection of the
AL Ringing theatre. The theatre, and
it only, could have accommodated the
people at the Red Cross benefit given
through the generosity Of the Ringing
Bros, and a few of the citizens; Meth
er could the people of Baraboo and ad-
joining towns have had the privilege
Of listening to Judge Lands stirring
patriotic address, without this indis-
pensable building.

The Ringing Gift

Those who, Wednesday night at the
close of the photoplay, "The Warrior"
had the pleasure of hearing the re-
marks of Edward M. Kimball, recol-
lect he said that "Mr. Al. Ringing was
his very close friend" and some forty
years ago they were associated in a
concert troupe, which ended in disas-
ter, Mr.. Kimball leaving his cornet to
pay hotel bills Nothing daunted, Mr..
Ringing said:
Never mind, boys; some day I will
be at the head of the greatest circus,
and will build a theatre in Baraboo,
the prettiest in the United States"
Both predictions came true.
How, think you, would he have felt
at that time, had he even anticipated
that Baraboo could refuse it!
And why should we refuse it? We
all know the necessity Of such build
ing. You, who would refuse this beau
tiful gift, think how much Mr.. Ring
ling, although in poor health, enjoyed
his building rise little by little, to be-
the United States, and also remember
that it was his earnest wish to live
to see the opening, which was granted,
and he took great pleasure in listen
ing to the organ, during the short
time thereafter that his life was
spared. 1t seems almost incredible
that Baraboo could refuse such a mag
nificent gift, fulfillment of long cher
ished ambition of much-valued citi-
zen, a building for which Baraboo
knowing the necessity, had been ask
ing for many years; since the destruc-
ton of the old skating rink, called an
operahouse, hoping some philanthropy
ic person or persons would come to
the rescue and build one at least fire
proof, and one did so, but far more
beautiful than was expected, even
though a Ringing.

of ones inability readily and fully to

The works of the great thinkers and
philosophers as translated for our ben

belong to this class. The result Of
the discoveries and scientific research
are necessarily couched in a phrase

pleasure or gain the knowledge by

tons, we may seek the aid of some
