LABOR REQUIRED BY SHEEP
While Continuous 1t Is Not Heavy
Can Well Be Performed by Boy
Incapable Of Hard Work.

While the labor required by sheep
raising is continuous, it is not heavy,
and If properly supervised and made
interesting by financial return can well
be performed by boys incapable of
other kinds of farm work. This fact
should be given consideration in many
sections where farm labor is scarce.

Who Is Paying for the War?
BY JOHN r. COMMONS Professor of Political Economy
University of Wisconsin.

The government Is trying to cut
down excess profits. As fast as pos
sioie 1t is reducing the prices that pro-
ducers are permitted to charge.
This has been done for iron. steel
anu almost everything else that the
government buys.
1t is hard TO do this and yet not
discourage production We must have
an enormous increase OF food. cloth
ing, munitions and other necessities
during the war.
But the government is doing this
ID the only way possible. 1t calls in
the representatives OF labor named by
the American Federation Of Labor.
and the representative OF the manu-
facturers and farmers. The American
Federation of Labor wanted the price
Of wheat fixed at s1.84 bushel. The
farmers wanted $3.50. They com
promised on 1920 bushel
This Is the way it is done for coal
and other essentials which the peo-
pie must buy. If the price is cut too
low then wages cannot be paid; and
If there are no profits, the thing will
not be produced in sufficient quaint
ties.
The Rise in Wages.
Increased cost of living ALWAYS goes
along with wars. But here Is some
thing to remembering outbreak OF
war in 1914 brought an increased de-
mand for labor, at a time of great In
dustrial depression in this country.
The demand Of the Allies for NUM-
tions, equipment, and food, set every
body to work in the United States.
Immediately also wages began to rise.
They went up fastest and highest in
the industries that furnished NUM-
tons to the Allies. The employees of
the United States Steel Corporation
nave had an increase of 60 per cent
III their rates of wages, and when to
this is added steady employment, their
earnings by the week or year have
gone up far beyond so per cent.
In the state of New York-the only
state where statistics have been col.
lected on d large scale-the earnings
OF all factory Wage-earners throughout
the entire state have risen, on an
average. over 80 per cent since June,
1914. In some Of the metal and ma
chinery industries, they have more
than doubled.
Nobody can give exact figures. but
the cost of liying-taking everything
into Accountants gone up about 30
TO 40 per cent. Food has gone up more
than that-47 per cent. according to
figures OF retail prices collected by
the Federal Department of Labor.
But food is something less than half
of the workfngman's expenses. Other
expenses, such as rent, have not gone
up so much. Taking into account the
increased amount of work and the in
crease in wages, the total earnings of
wage-earners have about kept up with
the cost of living. Some have gone
far ahead, others have not kept I'D.
Those who have gained most are com
mon laborers and organized labor.

15c and 16c per pound. The 1917 hemp
crop in Wisconsin averaged HOO lbs
TO the acre making a gross income Of
pproximately s165 per acre This Is
indeed encouraging news. A bulletin
on raising hemp in Wisconsin has been
received at this Office in which practi-
cally every statement we have previ-
ously made has worked out in actual
practice. Hemp is a very easy crop
on the soil-in fact a good crop is
beneficial to the soil. Plant on heavy
rich soils, preferably fall plowed and
the soil will stand several crops in
succession. We believe that when
the hemp industry is firmly established
it will develope into one of the staple
corps on the heavier lands in Central
Wisconsin.
Harry Stone and Edith Moody were
married Wednesday in the presence
of immediate relatives at the parson-
age by Rev. A H. Anderson. Mr.. and
Mrs. Stone left for Amigo today where
they will reside.
A card received from Leo White
Tuesday conveys the information that
he landed safely in France. He is with
North Dakota regiment.
The Gust Hawse family and F. T.
Mueller family met at the Chas. Tom
fhorde home Monday night to give
farewell to Mr. VIM. Hawse who has
been here visiting his brothers, Gust
and Fred. He returned to his home at
Mukwonago Wednesday.
A quiet wedding took place at Grand
Rapids last week Wednesday when
Miss Mary Mollett of Vesper and Mr..
'. B. Boyarski were married at the
priests house by Father Reding. The
couple were attended by Florence Mol
lett and Ed Zieher Mr.. and Mrs.
Boyarski will make their home in

NARSHFIELD

From the Marshfeld Herald
The slight fall Of snow in upper Wis
consin this winter has helped more
than anything else in the conservation
Of coal. Woodsmen have been able,
with very little trouble. to work in the
woods, while the snowfall has been
sufficient for excellent sleighing. At
present good dry wood is selling at
$500 a cord and green body maple at
1925 to $3.50.
Father A A Burton preached his
farewell sermon to ST. Adams congre-
cation last Sunday and Monday, ac-
companied by his sister, left for his
new parish in San Francisco, Cali
fornia. During his short residence in
this city his conduct as a man and his
efforts in the pulpit, brought him many
warm friends who wish him every sue
cess in his new field Of labor.
cts an i'll wind that does not blow
someone good" says the Spencer Tri-
bune. 1t so happened there. By rea-
son Of the old brick yard pond going
dry it has been discovered that a fine
bottom of gravel and sand exists at the
bottom Of the pond. This material is
much needed commodity to the vii
lage. Hauling is being done from the

VIM. Neuenfeldt, editor Of the Green
wood Cleaner, has purchased a type
casting machine and when installed
will have an up-to-date Office. Since
taking hold of the Cleaner, Mr.. Neuen-
feldt has made it look and read like
a newspaper and the fact that he will
equip the Office with a type casting
machine is evidence of the prosperity
he is enjoying.

Everybody must expect hardships
from war. The greatest hardship IL
on the boys who go to the front. No
body can ever pay them what they
are worth to the nation
But our nation is doing the next
best thing. We have more than dou-
bled the pay that soldiers got before
The war. The dollar a day, besides
food. clothing. and expenses, which
they now get while training and fight
ing is four times as much as the
British soldier gets, eighteen times as
much as the French, and nine times
as much as the German
Besides, il they are disabled, the
government compensates them for the
rest of their lives. by giving them as
high as 800 a month if totally dis
abled. in addition to teaching them
new trades, II necessary, so that they
can make a living.
Next to the boys at the front, the
greatest hardship Is on their families.
These families can never be paid what
the boys are worth to them But the
nation does the next best thing. While
they are serving their country il pays
their families according to the num-
Der of children. In case of death it
pays the family the compensation the
boy would get after the war if he were
disabled; and it furnishes as high as
$4,000 life insurance at less than half
what an insurance company charges in
time of peace, and permits him to con-
tinue it after the war at substantially
the same rate
The next great hardship is taxes.
In former wars our government taxed
food and almost everything the peo-
pie used. In this war it is taxing only
liquor, tobacco, patent medicines. lux
urIes. amusementS, new insurance
premiums, business documents, trans
pOrtatiOns and postage.
Taxation of Big incomes.
Two-thirds of the people pay but
very little extra taxes directly to sup
port the war. The other one-third
or the people are taxed on incomes
and excess war profits.
In the Civil War the income tax was
per cent to Is per cent, and every
income as low as $500 was taxed In
this war. three different income taxes
are piled on top OF each other, so that
an income Of $4,000 pays $40, and In
come OF $1,00O.0OO pays $475,000 and
larger incomes pay nearly so per cent.
But no income of married man
less than $4,000 is taxed at all, and
none less than 81 900 for an unmarried
man. No workingman with a family
pays an income tax.
The largest incomes, on the other
hand, are not yet taxed as much as
they can stand. A corporation pays
two taxes-an excess profit tax that
is said to average about one-fourth the
profits above 9 per cent on its capital,
and an income tax of S per cent on
what is left Our government has call
ed in the leading tax experts of the
country to work on this problem.

CASH AND
CARRY SYSTEM
PROBLEMS
Studied by Wisconsin Merchants

Should the milk man charge cents
for each time he delivers a quart of
milk? Or the baker charge S cents
every time he leaves loaf of bread
on his route?
Should the laboring man pay 8 per
cent additional for credit every Satur-
day night when he pays his grocery
bill? Should certain percentage be
added for credit, or discount allowed
for cash?
Should each family have one free
delivery day, or two free deliveries
n week, or none at all?
These and other practical problems
of the cash and carry system are puz-
cling the local food administrators,
and grocers, butchers, bakers, and 9TH
er food distributors.
Special Conference Planned.
A special conference at which all
these problems will be threshed out
will be held Feb %, in connection
with the Third Commercial and In
dustrial Congress at Madison. A. T.
Van Scoy, member of the State Coun-
Gil of Defense, and many of the county
food administrators and prominent
grocers and food distributors of the
state are expected to be present.

many of the details is found in the va.

DANGER!
BLOW NOSE
CAUTIOUSLY

A very large proportion of deaf
people owe their affection to so sim
pie and avoidable a cause as improper
blowing Of their noses. This seems al
most possible to believe and yet it
is the testimony Of leading specialists
in diseases of the ear. The ear has
very few disorders which do not arise
in the nose with which it is connected
by a sort of blind alley passage call
ed the Eustachian Tube.
You will recall IN the construction
of child'Es drum( there is a small
hole in the side to equalize the air
pressure on the inside and outside Of
the head or membrane. If one were
to place a powerful pump at this OPP
ening in the toy drum and suddenly
force a large volume Of air inside it,
the head would become stretched as a
consequence. Repeating this over and
over would soon destroy the elasticity
of the drum head
Now, the Eustachian Tube, extend
ing from the nose to the ear, has the
same purpose as the hole in the side
of the drum The drum proper in
this case, is the ear drum, a very deli
cate membrane. One side of the ear
drum is exposed to the atmosphere
thru the external ear. On the other
side, the Eustachian Tube, leading to
the nose, equalizes the pressure of
air on the inside Of the ear drum. Hear
ing depends upon the vibrations Of
the ear drum in which it is compare
bic to the vibrating disk of a telephone
or photograph.
When the nose is blown in a manner
which closes the nostrils, air is forced
down the internal or Eustachian Tube
with sufficient force to stretch the
membrane of the ear considerably. AT
ter such method has been persisted in
for years, elasticity is destroyed and
the ear drum loses its power to vi
brate sensitively in response to sounds
Since hearing depends upon this vi
bration, the individual then becomes
wholly or partially deaf according to
the extent to which the stretching has
progressed.
Noses should be blown gently and
never with the nostrils closed, not
even one at a time. A child should
be taught that making horn of his
