crops are scarce and prices high is Il
poor time to lose property by fire.
The risk of fire is greater in these
very dry times when all vegetation
is ready to blaze at the touch of a
match. There are many ways for
blaze to start, and few ways to stop
it while the bitches are dry and water
low in the wells. Smokers smoke
more since the war and nobody seems
to think they are any more careful
about where they drop their fire.
In many homes the matches are kept
where children can reach them and
almost every summer somebody has
that sad experience of finding stacks
afire and the children playing with
matches.

how, and guard against fires in every

NOT THE COFFEE
MERCHANTS FAULT
High Price Of Coffee Uncomfortable by
American Dealers Says the Cof-
fee ROasters' Association
CROP DAMAGED BY 1918 FROsTs

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal.-American
importers and domestic roasters and
handlers of coffee are powerless to
stop the rise in the price of coffee
according to statement issued here
by the Pacific Coast Coffee Roasters
association.
The statement declares that cir
cumstances over which American,
dealers have no control have forced
coffee prices to their present high
level. The advance is attributed prin-
cipally to the shortage in this years
Brazilian coffee crop which owing to
the severe frost of July, 1918 will be
cut to one-half it's normal size. This
depleted crop began coming on the
market about July 1 this year and
according to the roasters, will largely
have to supply the needs of this
country and Europe for the next
twelve months.
Last Years frost, the worst ex-
perienced in more than a quarter of
a century, out of a total of 500, OO0,-
900 trees in the Sac Paulo district,
the worlds greatest coffee produc-
AAo oOStAOA VI LII Oil, 1OU,UUV,-
900 young trees. More than 3O0,-
100000 mature trees were so badly
damaged they had to be cut down to
the roots. Even under favorable
conditions these trees cannot be
made to yield crop for three years.
On top of the short crop the
European demand for coffee has been
enormous since the signing of the
armistice and with practically the
entire surplus of coffee stocks from
former years used up during the war
there is not enough coffee in sight
to meet the demand which is being
made by the entire world.
The coffee roasters' statement in
conclusion says:
ut is misleading and unfair to
blame the coffee importers of this
country for conditions over which
they have no control and which are
even more unwelcome to them than
they are to the consumer. Any i'm
porter, jobber, coffee rooster or re-
tail grocer will tell you that the high
price is seriously interfering with his
business. 1t is a well known prin-
ciple that it is harder to make profit
on high market than On a low one."

Two Attacked Men Who Were Re-
pairing an Auto In the Dark.
FL. Fioge and Harold Stark Of Bay
field, Mimi, making trip to Corni-
copia, few nights ago about s p. m.
were attacked by two large bears,
while making repairs on their car.
They we're surprised by the growl Of
the male bear, who was standing on
its hind legs not over rs feet away.
Mr.. Fioge Immediately got small au-
tomato revolver which he always car
ries along in the ear and by keeping
cool succeeded in killing one bear,
which weighed 300 pounds dressed and
was thought to be about three years
old.
The bear was shot about eleven
miles out of Bayfield, along the Corni-
copia highway near the White farm.
As there is a closed season on bear,
AL Powell, the local game warden
took the carcass, turning 1t over to
the department at Madison to be prop
erly disposed of.

Result Of German Invasion of
Northern France.
BEGIN WORK OF RESTORATION
State In Which Sacred Edifiees Now
Are Found Varies From Those That
Have Been Completely Wiped Out
to Others That Suffered Only DAM
ages From Occasional Stray Shells
63 to BE Restored by individuals.

More than 5000 churches were either
completely destroyed or seriously dam
aged by the German invasion Of north
ern France. The state in which these
martyred churches now are found
varies from those, that have been alb
solutely wiped out to others which suf-
fered only the damages Of occasional
stray shells.
The work Of restoring the churches
has begun. The first annual general
assembly Of the Society to Restore the
Churches of the Devastated Regions
was held In Paris recently. At that
time Victor Odelin Of Paris reported
that over $256,OO0 has been expended
In beginning the work Of restoration.
He stated that sixty-three churches
have been adopted by individuals who
will personally bear all the expenses
involved in the work Of rebuilding.
Help has come, said the vicar, from
the United States, from Brazil, from
India; in fact, every nation Of the
allied world is helping France counter
act the work Of the destroyer.
Some Leveled by Shells.
Some Of the churches will never be
restored. Some are gone, completely
shot to bits, leaving barely trace Of
their former location. Others, famous
cathedrals such as those of Reims and
Amiens, may be left as they now stand
as a warning to posterity and as an
indelible record Of the savagery of the
last five years.
In Importance, architectural beauty
and size the ruined cathedrals and
churches vary from the stately ruin of
Reims, which will always symbolic
the barbarity of the Germans, to the
little country churches.
Beside the mound which figured day
after day in the war communicates az
.Hill 304," in the midst of what used
to form the quiet village Of Esnes, just
to the right of Verdun, stood the little
church. 1t was almost demolished by
the terrible effect of the artillery dur
ing the Verdun struggle of 1916,
but until late in the summer of 1917
the altar Of the church still stood I'M
scafhed.
The roof and walls of the church
had long since been shot away, but
the weather-beaten, unprotected altar
continued to give solitary evidence of
the former presence of house of
worship. Today nothing remains. But
the little church Of Esnes is only one
of great number which will never
