Japan in the War.

Japan entered the war because of
treaty with Great Britain, concluded
in 1902. The original alliance pre-
coded the Russo-Japanese war. In
1905 the alliance was further extended
to provide for the defense of British
interests in India and Afghanistan,
while England agreed to give Japan
a free hand in Korea. In 1911 it was
again modified by the agreement that
Great Britain should not be bound to
aid Japan against any power with
whom she had a treaty of arbitration
thus excluding the United States as
a possible enemy The alliance has
been extended to 1921.

Starving in The
Midst OF PIeni|
Acid-Stonach Steals Strength and
Good Feelings From Millions

One OF the worst features of acid
stomach IS that very often it literally
Starves its victims in the midst of
plenty. And the strange thing about
1t is that the people with acid-stomachs
seldom know what their trouble
really is.
No matter how good or wholesome
the food may be, or how much they
eat, they do not gain in strength.
This is clearly explained by the fact
that an acid-stomach cannot properly
digest food. Instead of healthy, nor
NAL digestion, the excess acid causes
the food to sour and ferment. Then
when this mass of sour. fermented
food, charged with excess acid. passes
into the intestines. it becomes the
breeding place for all kinds of germs
and toxic poisons, which in turn are
ABSORBED into the blood and in this
way distributed throughout the entire
Docy. And that is exactly why it is
mat so many thousands of people eat
and eat and keep on eating and vet
are literally starving in the midst of
plenty Their acid-stomachs make it
absolutely impossible for them TO GET
me fulI measure of nourishment ont
OF thelr food. And it doesn't take
long for this poor nourishment to show
us Ill effects in a weakened. ENACT
ated body.
You may say: my stomach doesn't
hurt me-" That may be true becansa
many victims of acid-stomacb do not
actually suffer stomach pains. Then
again, there are millions who do snffor

History of Fairs In Wisconsin.

The county fair has been a great
educational factor in the development
of the state of Wisconsin. The idea
was recognized by the first state leg
islature in 1913, and, while the county
fair law has been changed and cX-
tended at many sessions, there mas
never been a curtailment of the state
encouragement.
Almost every session of the legisla-
ture considers county fair bills, bug
the result has always been that the
financial aid has been Increased.
Probably no single institution, unless
it is the college of agriculture and the
farmers Institutes, has had such
stimulating effect on better agricul-
ture and the adoption of approved
methods of farming as the county
fair. This latter opinion is expressed
by G. w. Vergeront, who has spent
years studying the problem.
In Wisconsin the greater number or
county fairs owe their existence to
acts granting aids TO societies OF an
agricultural nature. Probably the
first movement in favor of agricul-
tural aid was the introduction OF
bill in the first state legislature, On
July 81, 1913. The result of this step
was that a constitution for a state
agricultural society was drawn up and
finally adopted on March Z, 1S49. The
society was established and held the
first state fair at GAINESVILLE, on Oc-
tober 1, 1851. Later the organization
was Incorporated.
Many Wisconsin county fairs were
organized and held exhibitions before
they received state aid says G. w.
Vergeront, in a thesis which he re-
Gently prepared on. the subject.
1.-THE Kenosha Agricultural society
held the first county fair held in WIS
consin at Bristol on October 10, 1880.
The next week the farmers of Wall
worth county held fair at East Troy.
Nine other associations held county
exhibitions before the act for the en-
enlargement and promotion OF agrl7
culture was passed in 1856; Column
bia, Fond du Lac, Grant, Jefferson,
Sank, Sheboygan, Washington and
Waushara Agricultural societies were
the pioneers. This legislative act
gave groups of citizens power to form
agricultural societies, and draw up
constitutions and elect officers. One
hundred dollars was to be paid an
nually to the society which complied
with certain conditions"

Governor Designates Cleanup Weeks.

Governor Designates Cleanup Weeks.
The following proclamation has been
issued by Gov. E. L. Philip:
With the advent OF All early spring,
stimulating early gardening and a
freer outdoor life, comes the necessity
for a general cleaning up of premises
inside and out Every movement with
in reason that contributes to the tidi-
ness, healthfulness and safety of our
homes and Industries should be given
place in our domestic routine. Any
conditions that detract from the beauty
and healthfulness of our surroundings
aid the forces that tear down.
Not only should dead branches and
old trees be removed, trees trimmed,
and flowers, shrubbery and gardens
cultivated, but due attention should be
paid to the removal of rubbish and
other wastes. Easements, often the
receptacle for cast-off materials of
many kinds, become not only danger
Gus to life through increasing the fire
hazard, but may actually be unhealth-
full and productive of illness. More
than ever before we are called upon
now to safeguard the lives of our citi-
zens in every possible way. Let US
then be active in the field of domestic
sanitation and do all things to pro-
mote a well ordered life for ourselves,
our families and neighbors.
In the interest of a more healthful,
wholesome. and safer standard of liv-
ing, therefore, and in order that the
citizens of Wisconsin may join in this
common cause, l, Emmanuel L. Philip,
governor OF. the state of Wisconsin, do
hereby proclaim the weeks from April
% to May 10, 1919, or such other
periods as may through ordinance be
designated by municipalities, as Clean
Up weeks, and urge all citizens during
such periods to clean up their premises
within and without, Kidding them of all
wastes the presence of which is det-
riment to the appearance, orderliness
and healthfulness of the surroundings,
and in other ways to assist in making
our homes and property safer and
healthier for all the people.
E. L. Philip, Governor.

The more we read of the coming
prize fight between Willard and Demp-
sey which will take place the Fourth
of July at Toledo, Ohio, the madden we
get. Whether the fight is on the
square or not is beyond the question.
The fact remains that during the war
these two men remained behind, max
ing money on their reputation, when
they should both have been wearing
the uniform. Fighting is CONNER
cialized game from start to finish.
The sport of it has been entirely
eliminated until nothing remains but
the dollar sign. These two fellows
had chance to show their mettle.
They failed. The newspapers. that are
falling for their publicity should be
ashamed of themselves Lea
Standard.
Exhibitions of this nature are both
demoralizing and disgrace to the
country which permits them. Not only
are these two puguglies slackers,-
dirty cowardly ours in the sight of our
soldier boys and all loyal Americans,
but they should now be in a federal
prison. It is to be hoped that they
will kill one another off in the mill
advertised for tomorrow.

There is a big oil boom on in the
country-that is, many persons who
own land within a radius of a hundred
miles or so from where gushers have
been struck are forming corporations
and floating stock for hundreds Of
thousands and, in some instances, mil
lions of dollars. Of course the inter-
ested parties retain the lions share
of the stock, and only the funds taken
from the pockets of the subscribers
are expended on prospecting and de-
velopment. If oil is struck the pro-
moters reap enormous profits, while if
the property proves barren they sus-
tain little or no loss, the whole gamble
having been financed by the suckers
who purchased stock. Beware the

upon you to explain his golden oppor-

While we hope that Germany will
live up to the terms of the peace pact
its delegates signed, we do not believe
these terms will be fulfilled. There
are those who tell US the. agreement
can be enforced. It could, of course,
but, if Germany sees fit to treat it as
a joke and pay no attention thereto,
its enforcement would mean another
war. The Hun government is an in
FAINT organization and consequently
unstable There is no telling whether
Ebert is in league with the ex-kaiser
or not or whether all factions would
combine, were he to return to Ger

It is declared by Secretary Bakers
advisory board that the reason SOL
diers were given excessive sentences
during the war is due to the fact that
court martial officers were inexperi-
enced. While Colonel Ansell's recon-
mendations were rejected by the
board, it suggests that counsel for the
defendant be provided in all military
trials. Many Of the soldiers SEN
fences have been committed and others
will be, but this is really no satisfac-
ton to the boys who have been i'm
prisoned. Again, there is no excuse
which the war department. can put
forth for permitting a lot of Junk
heads to conduct court martials.

It is asserted by the president of

the boy. Many a youth enrolled in
college classes does not possess the
brains with which to think. The pa
rents, however, and not the boys, are
to blame. It is impossible to produce
a nightingale from the eggs of a
mudhen or an orange tree from the
seeds of a dandelion. The same rule
applies to the human family.

Intervention by the allies is the

says Ernest Brier, formerly Petro-

France do as they please in the situa-

averse to having soldiers killed in
Russia merely for the sake Of assist

already lost their lives in Siberia and
it is shame they were ever sent
