A SCHEME THAT FAILED

The fight being made to whip Wis
cOnsin into the Democratic column, has
been started and every political trick
that has ever been worked in the state
is being used with few clever new
additions. After reading the Demo-
cratic press agent stuff sent out by the
Davies boosters ii is a wonder that he
has not before this occupied some seat
among the mighty.
Most of the material is from other
states rather than from Wisconsin.
Evidently we have overlooked this
great man here and it is time to put him
through chemical analysis. A Boston
paper says he is one of the ''ablest men
who has come into public life and
prominence, since the present century
opened" Shades of A. Jackson, Gro
yer Cleveland. and all the great Demo-
Gratis. Mr. Davies to your greatness
we bow IN humble silence.
In this connection there was a
scheme devised by the Democratic
leaders which has blown up. That was
70 have the Loyalty Legion, at a meet
ing 10 he held at Milwaukee on
Wednesday of this week, resolve itself
into an endorser Of fusion in the sena-
torial campaign. and incidentally to
endorse some one with specifications
that only Davies could fill. IN this
work it was arranged that the regular
members Of the Loyalty Legion were to
be invited and the Democrats Of the
state were asked to see that all the
Democratic committeeman were present.
This fragrant attempt to use the 10y
atty Legion for political purposes has
however resulted in abandonment Of
the plan and no convention was held.
SO this scheme failed. The Loyalty
Legion will refuse to be used for the
chief figure i'll the Democratic plan to
get Mr.. Davies a place in the I. S.
senate.

HOLSTEIN BREEDERS MAY
HAVE COW TESTS MADE

The Board of Directors of the Rusk
County Holstein Breeders -AssOcia-
ton met at the county agricultural
agents office Saturday last, and made
arrangements for the annual meeting
of the association which will be held
at the Rusk county training school on
the afternoon of March 23rd. The
directors voted to secure the service of
a representative from the State HOl-
stein Breeders Association, and a
field man from the State Dairymen's
Association.
The idea is to make the meeting one
of general interest to all dairymen of
the county in order that the final or
ganizatiOn of a Cow Testing Associa-
ton might be completed 1t will be
remembered that the Rusk County
HOlstein Breeders Association never
does things by halves, and dairy men
from all parts of the county may well
afford to plan on spending March 23rd,
at Ladysmith in attendance at the
best dairy meeting ever held in the
county.

PROGRESS OF THE WAR

Each day brings the opposing forces
OH the Western Front nearer to the
time when there must come the final
struggle of arms This seems to lie i'll
evitable Every act points to the day
when the German armies will make the
desperate effort to end the war i'll a
victory for the Central Powers For
the shock. the French and English and
the quarter million men from the
United States are waiting. as ready
as it is possible to be. Each act i'll ey-
cry part of the world referring to
either arms or diplomacy has some
bearing on this event.
Germany has made a separate peace
with the Ukrainian government, what
ever that may be. The BOlSheylkl
SAYS there is no Ukraine autonomy and
have disputed the field with arms.
Nevertheless. there is Il peace treaty.
and Germany has a road unOpposed by
Ukraine inhabitants. into the great
wheat fields of the southwestern part
of Russia. whose capital is Odessa. one
of the worlds greatest export wheat
markets. But we are told that all this
granary is barren of food now and
while many fields have been planted,
others are wasted by war and revOlu-
ton. Germany cannot therefore eX
pect to get her bread from the Ukraine
until after the harvest this summer.
The BOIsheviki has ordered the dis
banding of its army. The murder and
lOOting continues. The peasants are
starving in cities and country and an
archy reigns. Finland is still in the
throes of revolt and the battles be-
tween the Red Guard of the BOlShe-
wiki and the Republicans smacks more
of massacre than of war.
Italy is the scene of aerial battles
and some Skirmishing but war in its
greatness has ceased until the spring.
In the trenches of the French line. to
the south of Verdun, and extending
East through a part of French Lor
raine, is the first American force ac-
lively engaged as a separate fighting
army under command of American
officers and acting independently of
any Allied assistance This may be
said to be Americas real entrance into
the war. All responsibility for hold
ing the several miles of trenches are
with men fighting under the Stars and
Stripes. Only a few days ago the
command was turned over to Amer
lean officers. There has been constant
fighting, many deeds of bravery iii
trench raids and several deaths. pIis-
Oners have been taken OH both sides
and none, of the business is pleasant.
but the American soldiers have done
credit to the flag and we shall expect
To hear more.
IN diplomacy the event of the week
was the speech of President Wilson in
part reply to the utterances OF the
Austrian Premier CZerZin and the
German, Hertling. Again the presi-
dent said we would battle on until we
had defeated the forces of evil in the
Central Powers and there would be no
separate peace nor repetition of the
Vienna Conference for the re-making
of the worlds geography.
