ALBERT'S"
REPLY

The Grand Rapids Federation of La
Dor, published an article in The Daily
Leader, Tuesday ebening, in which
they take exceptions to our article
headed Strike is Over-Paper Com
pany Wins" Their reply proves moth
ing IN the controversy, but to the con
trary emphasizes our position. that
the contest is ober and the strikers are
losers and the Nekoosa- Edwards Pa
per Company wins. Most of the strik-
ers have left for GAINESVILLE. The
Daily Leader has accounted for 600
of them who have left Wood County
Tor new fields of activities. The Ne
koosa-Edwards Paper Company ara
running their three plants at 100 per
cent strength, as proven by another
article in this issue headed "Are You
to Be Shown? ?" The strike is
fallare-that's ALL 1t is conceded
by everyone who knows the facts. /.
Nj. Alexander is proven right in his
position on this strike, and Gary.

Why? Because, their position is alb

WINDBREAK TREES

The Wisconsin Conservation Com
mission in a letter sent out recently
are offering for spring planting quite
a variety of trees that are very desir-
able for windbreaks. Their prices
range from $3.50 to $3.50 for two year
old seedlings to six year old trees.
They are offering the following varie-
ties: Colorado Blue Spruce, Japanese
Pine, Serbian Larch, White Pine, Nor
way Pine, Scotch Pine, Norway Spruce
European Larch. If you are interest
ed IN securing small trees to plant for
windbreaks, | would be glad to hear
from you in this matter or write di-
rectly to the Wisconsin Conservation
Commission, Madison, Wisconsin. A
good windbreak is a very desirable
feature of the farm. Of course it will
take some time before you will enjoy
the benefits but you are reaping re-
wards of much of the work and endea-
vor of your parents and grandpar-
ents.

HAYSEED, OR
PLUTOCRAT

Not so many years ago the term
"hayseed'' was jocularly applied to
the American farmer.
And the farmer didn't resent it
because he couldn't.
He lived from hand to mouth, and
often there was but little left by the
time it reached the mouth.
But now?
Say, just watch the old boys smile
There are no plasters on his farm.
He is out of debt, with a comfort
able surplus stored away
His stock is fat and of the best
grade.
His acres are teeming with the pro-
ducts of the soil and the result of RS
fertile brain.
He comes to town in his automobile
smokes the best cigars, and his family
has college education and buys the
best clothes.
Once he went into the bank with his
hat in his hand. Now he owns its
stock, is a director, or perhaps the
president.
In other days ne asked favors. Now
he issues orders.
A hayseed? WE'LL hardly.
A plutocrat? You bet!
Horse sense and opportunity did it.

TWO AUTOS
collide

What might have been a very sePi-
Gus accident happened Sunday morn
ing on the road between Nekoosa and
Port Edwards. The Dodge roadster,
driven by E. P. Gleason, Chief Engin-
eer of the Nekoosa- Edwards Paper Co.
was demolished, having been run into
by the Company car, driven by Bill
irwin. Mr.. Gleason saw Mr.. Irwin
aoout three hundred yards off as he
crossed the bridge crossing Moccasin
Creek; he was OIL his way toward Port
Edwards, having in the car with him
Otto Valley. The car driven by Irwin
was carrying some men to work at
Nekoosa, both cars were going at a
good rate; and as they neared each
other, Gleason saw that there was
something wrong with the car driven
by Irwin, so he turned off at right an
giles off the road into the sand, being
some twenty feet off the road at the
time Irwin's car crashed into the
Dodge. The only explanation is that
Irwin lost control of the car, and it
was most fortunate that no one was
more seriously injured Although Mr..
Gleason was cut by flying glass over
the left eye and on his left ear, and
outside of a few body bruises and a
severe injury to his left hip caused by
ruler carried in his back pocket, is
expected to be about in few days
Otto VALLEY had rib cracked and
is otherwise bruised, but not seriously.
The occupants of the car driven by
Irwin were shaken up, but there were
no injuries.
The accident happened at few min
utes after seven on Sunday morning,
October 10.

SHORT COURSE BEGINS NOV. Il

Dear County Worker:
Returned Soldiers, marines, nurses,
and sailors, who take the Short Course
at the College of Agriculture will be
granted the educational bonus of $50
for each month of attendance, accord
ing to a statement made today by E.
A. Fitzpatrick, secretary of the state
educational board. The late enact
ment of the educational bill kept many
young men who were already engaged
in work from entering college at the
beginning of the year, and it is ex
Dected that the decision of the board
will be of special advantage to them.
The Short Course begins November
II and continues for fifteen weeks. Ev-
cry preparation is being made to care
for students entering at this time. We
are looking forward to large enroll
ment and believe that such will be
realized with your help. 1t is useless
to speak of the value of the course.
You meet men in your work who are
graduates and know that they are do
ing better in their chosen profession
because of their training.
We are sending you number of
Short course bulletins You doubtless
know young men who ought to be in

FOREIGNERS
GOOD AND BAD

In this country we have millions of
fareigners-Engish, French, German,
Austrian, Italian, Belgian, Swedish,
Norwegian, Greek, Turkish, japanese
Chinese, and of every other national
ity. The great majority of these for
aigners are conscientious and law a.
biding citizens.
They work.
There is also in this country another
class of foreigners. They constitute
the minority. They are not law abid-
ing, and they are not citizens.
THEY ACETATE.
And because of4the wild eyed boil
;hevistic vaporing of these anarchistic
wind TANNERS and destroyers our
country of late has been in a constant
tate of turmoil.
This continual unrest and uncertain
ty are curtailing production, under
lining efficiency and alternating the
loyalty of many good men.
1t must cease.
Labor and capital must get together
IN a sane and reasonable working bas-
:, where the division of profits will be
air to both sides.
But this will never be accomplished
by allowing braying minority to u
surp the authority which belongs to
a sane majority.A
Men of intelligence and integrity dc
not care to take orders from illiterate
and irresponsible foreigners whose
only claims to leadership are a mis-
guided conscience and pair of leath
er lungs.
Brains, not noise must prevail if W.
are to live in peace and plenty in this
country.

PROSPERITY
INADVERSITY

The world is short on production!
This IS particularly true of those
countries recently locked in the strife
of nations. Even our own is includ-
ed.
Foreign peoples are manifestly not
in position to produce in proportion
to their requirements for some years
to come.
America is.
The sensible thing, then, for Ameri-
ca to do is to increase it's production,
to double, and treble it.
This can be done.
Two essentials to this end are para
mount: Quit squabbling among our
selves, and GO TO WORK.
America is rich now. But in a few
years, if we all go to work and pro-
duce to the limit of our capacity, we
will have provided the necessities for
whic hthe world cries, and we will have
enriched ourselves beyond the dreams
of avarice.
Every one will become a plutocrat.
Go to work!
Work harder!
Stay with it!
Your ship will come in and your
dream will come true

BILLY BARLOW
READS THEPAPER

The other day | been reading the
Leader about what the Federation at
Grand Rapids said and | had to go and
get something fer my stomach so |
went to get some Rexal Castor Oil
30 make me feel better What they
told me in that drug store about Col
lection Bargaining and recognizing of
the Union makes me think that maybe
they had something to do with the
Federation of Labor piece in the pa
per. Say, there was a Doctor came in
while we was arguing the rights of
Berger, the discredited Congressman,
with the Druggist. | told him | would
MT buy the Milwaukee Leader. and he
didn't like it. 1t was a good thing |
didn't tell the Druggist and the Doctor
that | was working for Alexander at
Port Edwards. That piece the other
NIGHT in the Leader said something a
bout Little Albert, you fellows remem-
Der there was a Little Albert what
used to work at Port, who had poor
record on the War. Everybody said
Ia was pro-German. but I remember
when this same Little Albert used to
swing a bung starter better than any
other peddler of booze in Grand Ra-
lids. He sure worked hard to get us
fellows out of work, and he handed Us
cold brick and then ran away He
is one of the 900 that the Federation
talks about going to Janesville The
Federation is proud of sending 600
workmen from this place to a place
where they are unorganized, where
things is high, | know, l been down
there.
And the darn article spoke about
treating the men as American citizens
Say, wouldn't the Federation of La
Dor have howled if the Company down
there had said only American citi-
zens can be dealt with collectively?
The way some of the fellows SHE'D a.
way from being American citizens
wasn't slow, and lots of them can't
hardly talk English. But say, the way
the bunk is being slipped to those few
oickets down at Port is some smooth. |
How they can haul wood for outdoor
fires, when other men are getting
their jobs, is some mystery. I'm sat
isfed and gee the way the farmers are
coming in..is caution. I'm going to
write you again, but Pm not ready to |
tell you my name.

A
FRESH START

Opportunity is knocking loudly at
our community door. 1t is insistent
that it be permitted to enter.
The world is crying for the products
of the factory and Of the soil. The de-
mand is greater than the supplyl.
America can supply that demand
if it will.
We can supply our community por
tion-if we will.
But are we alive to the marvellous
opportunities that are offered US? Or
are we peacefully sleeping while other
communities skim the cream from the
milk?
Buck up, fellows!
Take fresh start!
Double the production next year.
Forge ahead, and make 1920 the
banner year of our local existence.
Get the grady while it is fresh.

The people who audit the bills Of
Local Board No. 2, have played The
Enquirer a mean trick, From the be-
ginning of the war the government has
been imposing upon the newspapers
by seeking all kinds OF publicity from
them free Of charge. The Enquirer
took the position that while 1t would
gladly publish on its own account any
and all information that it thought 1t
should publish, if the government
wanted to use The Enquirer in an Of
fetal way it must pay. or course we
understood that the government could
commander the plant and everything
else it might want; but we also under
stood that in such an event the gov
ernment would have TO pay labor bills,
paper bills, power bills, light bills and
scores of other bills, which we are un-
able to pay unless the people we serve
pay us. So we told the local board
that there was nothing doing in the
way of official advertising unless we
were paid. There were certain things
which, in the judgment of the local
board, ought to be advertised official
ly. The chairman furnished the copy
with the assurance that If the govern
ment did not pay he would. This was
in December, 1917, and May, 1918. The
was published and in due
time the government paid the bill,
to s14.6S. Then again in

The peace conference has virtually
agreed upon President Wilson's solu-
ton Of the problem as to what to do
with the German colonies In the Pacific
ocean and in Africa, as well as else
where. The sentiment in England was
that Great Britain should assume the
government and control Of these colo
nies because, Of course. Great Britain
is the best prepared to administer
them. Indefinitely. the fact that Brit
ishers generally seem to think they
should own the earth may also have
something to do with the matter. But
the Wilson idea is that a" the peoples
should be allowed to govern them
selves as nearly as possible, and it will
be arranged that these colonies be al
lowed self-government under interna-
tional guarantees, and that in case of
dissatisfaction on the part Of the peo-
pie Of any colony with the manner IN
which the government Of that colony is
administered there shall De referen-
dunn, the result Of which will be ac-
cepted as mandatory, and reform shall
be inaugurated accordingly. 1t Is pro-
posed to arrange the status Of the col
onies so no one Of the great powers
may exploit any of them for its own
profit. There is considerable protest
on the part Of the British newspapers
against this disposition Of the matter,
but it looks now as If the plan will be
adopted.
