Grooved Stone Axes is the subject
of an article by Charles E. Brown
in the last bulletin Of the Wisconsin
Archeoligist. 1t deals chiefly with
the distribution, use, and classified
ton of the stone axes made by Wis
consin Indians and tells where they
are now on exhibition. THAT section
of the state south of Green Bay to
Kenosha county and west to the Wis
consin river contains nearly all the
stone axes already recovered or
which remain to be recovered in the
future. The majority Of the axes
have been recovered from Indian viii
lagos and camp sites, but very few
from mounds or graves" That the
Indians did not use "their axes for
cutting purposes to a very great eX-
tent is refuted by the authorities
which Mr.. Brown quotes, although
they did use them for weapons Of
warfare and Of the chase is admitted
ly true. "Rude notched axes and
grooved stone axes are the chief
classifcations of the axes, and among
them the long-bladed axes show the
finest skill of Wisconsin aXe-makers.

There are laws which prevent a man
from stealing from his employer or
his business associates, but there is
no law that requires him to be loyal
to them. The success Of a business
institution, however, depends more
upon the loyalty of it's employees than
upon the laws which prevent them
from stealing it's money. Likewise the
stability Of a government depends
more upon the loyalty of it's people
than upon the laws which compel them
to fulfill their obligation to the gov
eminent.
It is equally true that the prosperity
and growth of every individual COM
munity is dependent upon the loyalty
of the people who live in it. Every
citizen owes an obligation to his COM
munity, and the obligation is moral
as we'll as legal one. The good citi-
zen pays his taxes cheerfully and
willingly. He serves upon the juries
which administer the laws of the COM
munity. He fulfills every legal obli-
CATION that is imposed upon him by
his government, but there is a moral
obligation which is of still greater i'm
pOrtance to the community. This
moral obligation consists in doing
everything that is in his power to
promote the prosperity and happiness
of his community. The man who is
enabled to make his living in any COM
munity is under a moral obligation to
spend his money in such a way as to
help his community.
Prosperity Worth Protecting.
Anything worth having is worth pro-
tecting, and if the prosperity of a
community is worth anything to the
people living in it it is worth protect
ing. If the chance for a man to earn
a good living, to live well, to give his
children a good education, is worth
anything, it is worth protecting.
There is just one way to protect
the prosperity Of a community, and
that is to keep the community from
being drained Of it's cash-working
capital. The only way to do that is
IOr the people OF the COLu1uuulLy u
keep their money at home. Every
time the citizen of a community sends
money away from home to mail or
der house instead of spending it in
his home stores he is disloyal to his
community. It is disloyalty to the mer-
chants only indirectly. 1t is dislOyalty
to the community of which the mer-
chants are only small but very
important part.
This is the moral obligation that
every citizen owes to his community,
just as the payment Of taxes and the
loyal support Of his government are
his legal obligations. Disloyalty of
a large body of the citizens spells dis
aster to any government and disloy-
atty of any large part of the people
to their community is followed inev-
itabiy by the downfall Of the commu-
nifty. Self-interest, if nothing else,
should convince every citizen of the
advisability of fulfilling his moral OBJ
iigation to his community.

The inwardness of the German Bolsheviki
is revealed in the Red Flags strident protest
against what it terms international capital
ism's sending food into the empire. This
screams that organ of crafty anarchy, els
treachery against the revolution and
should be opposed as a capitalistic effort to
beat the Bolsheviki aims" No microscope is
needed to discover the motive in this balder-
dash. The Bolshevik purpose is primarily to
keep discomfort boiling that demagogues
may fatten on the skimmings of the pot.
Significantly enough these tyrants of the
mob are generally in collision with tyrants
on the throne. Lenine and Trotzky were
shameless hireling5 of Potsdam, and if the
truth were out it probably would betray a
not unsympathetic relation between shay
haired anarchists and SNUG Junkers in Ber-
lin. Certain it is that the Bosheviki have
proved hostile in every instance to those who
fought and sacrificed for human freedom
What they wish is not liberty; they care as
little for that as the apostles of Prussianism
itself. License and loot are what they really
wish.

YOUR DAILY WORK
BY H. Arlington Bruce

~ you really enjoy your daily work?
Are you Indifferent to it? DO you
- perhaps engage in it only from dis
agreeable feeling of compulsion?
If you DO not really enjoy your work, the
possibility is that it is not wholly suited to
your aptitudes Besides which, it may be
set down as certain that you are looking at
it from a wrong point of view
mans work should always mean more
to him than a mere means of livelihood. He
should draw from it happiness, content
ment, peace of mind.
This he can do only if he looks upon his
work as contributing something worth while
to the lives of his fellowmen.
For men are so built that THE CON-
SERIOUSNESS OF RENDERING SERVICE
is AN INSTRUCTIVE NEED OF THEIR
BEING. Those who have not this con-
seriousness are certain to be unhappy,
whether they do not work at all or work up
to the limit of their powers and whether the
monetary return from their work is small
or great.
The idler is necessarily miserable, be-
cause all the while he is oppressed by the
knowledge that he is breaking a basic nat
ural law. The self-centered worker is almost
as miserable, because his self-centeredness
blinds him to the deeper significance and
higher purposes of work.
Misery, likewise, besets the man who has
chosen his work unwisely. He is unhappy
for the reason that he knows that his blum
dering choice of vocation is keeping him
from making the most of his talents for his
own good and the good of society.
, Even so, If he will but cultivate a keener
sense of the social value of whatever work
he is trying to do he may gain therefrom a
stimulus enabling him to a surprising ex-
tent to overcome his vocational handicap,
and at the same time giving him the peace
of mind he has hitherto lacked.
OF course, if it be not too late for him to
make a new and wiser choice of work, let
him do that by all means. But his second
choice will not make him any happier than
the first, unless he develop the right attitude
toward his work.
Look about you at the workers you know
to be happy-people, many of them who,
perhaps, are not making nearly so much
money as you.
Inquire closely and you will discover that
they one and all are imbued with the ideal
portunity their work gives them to realize
that ideal.
Shift your point of view as regards your
work to bring it more into accord with their
point of view. Think less of your work
with regard to its significance to you, and
more with regard to it's significance to
society.
Soon you will find yourself becoming
more interes ed in your work than you ever
have been before, you will bend your ener-
gies more actively to doing it we'll, and you
will know happiness more surely

Sheep Raising tn Georgia.

In view of the record that for twenty
years or more the worlds supply of sheep
has diminished while the demand for wool
and mutton has increased, present efforts to
introduce sheep raising in Georgia on an ex-
tensive scale appear most timely and profit
able Experts of the State College of Agri-
culture who recently have been experiment.
ing to this end in some of the southern
counties are much encouraged 1t is alto
gether an erroneous idea, they say, that
sheep will not thrive in a warm climate.
The two essentials, they point out, are an
abundance of grazing and an absence of va
grant dogs.
Few if any States so near the great mar
ket centers as Georgia have her wealth of
natural resources for sheep raising, and, in
deed. for all branches of animal husbandry.
With less than thirty-ive per cent of the
States farmable area in use, with tens of
thousands OF acres of pasture land available
at low prices, and with all the requisites of
climate and soil plentifully present, the OPP
portunities for profitable sheep raising in
this State should appeal to the most con-
sentative judgment and enlist the most ear
nest effort.

Senator Knox's resolution, introduced In
the senate, proposes that the Versailles con-
ference with reference to the treaty should be
divided into it's work; that it should first
make the treaty of peace, so that may be pro
claimed promptly, and then that there should
be a second conference to form league OF
nations in a second treaty, in which there
would be more time and opportunity Tor de-
liberation The wisdom of bringing about a
formal peace at as early a date as possible
is manifest; but the slightest analysis OF the
task before the confereeS makes clear tnat
the web and wool of the treaty must include
a league of nations for half of the world at
least.
The armistice was signed on condition that
the treaty should cover subject matters and
general results outlined in the president s
message of January s, as modified by the al
lies prior to the armistice. We have right,
therefore, to expect as all the parties to the
conference have, that the treaty will set up
from eight to one dozen Independent republics
and carve them out of the old dominions of
the five empires of Germany, Austria, Russia,
Bulgaria and Turkey. The peoples thus con-
shutting self-governing communities nave
never had any experience in the responsible
ity of popular sovereignty. They have not
been trained in that self-restraint which is in
dispensable to the success of self-government.
They will need the same kind of assistance
that we gave to Cuba in the early days or her
independence, and they will need very close
watch by the league of nations now making
and controlling this eace, otherwise the
necessary friction between them and the do
minions out of which they are carved, with
the jealousies. ambitions and suspicious en-
gendered by the change, will make perma-
nent state of war rather than permanent
state of peace.

The German propaganda, instituted by Dr.
Bernhard Dernburg and secretly directed by
an American ex-clergyman in the pay of the
kaiser, aimed to achieve certain specific re-
suits. The purpose was to defect the blame
of starting the great war from Germany by
ascribing the causes to certain historic
wrongs-the isolation of Germany by Rus
sia France and Great Britain and efforts to
hinder the economic development OF the
Fatherland chiefly by Great Britain; to pre-
vent the shipment of arms and ammunition
to the allies, to the military advantage of
Germany; to prevent America from going to
war with Germany over the U-boat issue
Once war had been declared, Germany's
chief concern was to render our part negligi-
BILE by creation of anti-war sentiment, by pro-
noting resistance to the draft, by social and
labor unrest with fomenting strikes in mines,
munition plants and other war industries. In
this the Socialist party, the l. w. w. and
mushroom pacifist organizations were
utilized.
AS the war continued and German pros
poets of victory waned, Germany's chief
hope of obtaining a satisfactory peace lay in
creating, if possible. disunity among the al
lies. Nothing would have better served Ger
many's sinister purposes than the destruc-
ton of international morale, of full co-opera-
ton and mutual confidence between the gov
eminent of the United States and the gov
ernments. OF course, in such pro-German
propaganda no loyal Americans could have
taken part In propaganda designed to de-
stroy amity between us and the nations as
sociated with us in the war few level-headed
Americans could have been deceived. Any
effort to create suspicion of the allies to SOW
seeds C. distrust, to impose the belief that
the allied governments were in the hands of
hypocrites, liars and intriguers would have
seemed patent shadow-Hun propaganda. But
were not some Americans deceived into be-
