WOOD COUNTY
ATTHESTATEFAlR

S. G. Corey of the Wood County
Agricultural School has just returned
from the Milwaukee State Fair and
bears an interesting report on. the re-
suit of the county exhibits. Twenty
six counties competed, and closer COM
petition is seldom found. st. Croix
County won first place by a score of
2651.5 Wood County scored 2570.
Wood County lost first place by a
difference of only 81.5 points. When
it is realized that Waupaca and Sank
Counties ranked between St. Croix
and Wood Counties, our fourth place
should be a source of qualification to
us all.

general idea Of the quantity of

just announced by the U s. Food Ad-
ministration. In that period the Unit.

addition there was enough extra pro-
tein to supply this portion Of the diet
for %, 1914, $40 additional men.
The total export of wheat and wheat
flour to the three principal allies is
equivalent to about 1884 ,OOO, 900 bushels.
Pork exports for the 31a years amount

ports Of fresh beef totaled 443, 4S4, 400

Great Wheat Stocks
Isolated.

It's the shortage in ships that
Is putting the Allies and the
United States on wheat rations.
Great stocks of wheat are iso-
lated in India, and Australia. At
great sacrifice in ship space and
use the Allies are forced to Sc
cure some wheat from Argentina.
On January l, Australia had
stored 1OO,OOO.OOO bushels of
wheat that was ready for ex-
port-but there were no ships.
Then came the new crop with
an exportable surplus Of S0,OO0,-
600 bushels. Now Australia has
approximately 1S0,0O0,000 BUSH
els waiting for ships.
India, at the same time, had
100000 bushels Of wheat
stored for export. During April
100000 bushels more out of
the new crop will be added to
the pile.
Argentina closed the last ship
ping season with 100000
bushels of wheat left in the
stock available for export. The
new crop will add 135 100000 to
the left over.
1t Is not a problem that the
wheat does not exist in the
world-it Is entirely problem
of shipping, which has thrown on
America the obligation of divid-
ing our stock with the Allies.

the revolution and to suppress all counter revolutionary activity.
 Thus orders Dr. Liebknecht, the leader of the so-called Spartacus group we'll named from the predatory bandits who made life miserable for the Romans. He proposes to suppress all counter revolu- tionary activity. What he proposes IS that he will suppress any attempt to bring about representative government; that he will prevent any legislation save that di- rected by his own group; and that the peo- pie at large, particularly the vast middle class of merchants, artisans, and Profes- sional people, will be denied a voice.
 And so, bolshevism proposes the bloodi- est tyrannies. But there Is conceivably a lenient form of tyranny; for an aristcracy implies intelligence and possible cruelty; but bolshevism implyes tyranny of ignor- ance and certain cruelty. Wherefore there Is not defense for it.
 Broadly speaking, the soldiers and sailors in New York provided the remedy. There Is no more hope of converting bolshevist to sanity than to converting a Turk to sanitation. But there is hope of warning the sober, thinking, the patriotic Ameri- cans to be on their guard and to take meas ures against the wolves. America must not foster sedition that Is as dangerous in peace as in war. Who harangues against the government rails against the people. It is the peoples affair.
