PLANT TREES TO SERVE
AS LASTING MEMORIALS

10 make the memorials to heroes of
the Great War living things instead of
statutes Of bronze is the better plan for
the small cities and towns and farm
ing communities. from which SO many
soldiers came. So thinks f. n. Aust.
in charge of landscape work at the
Wisconsin College of Agriculture.
Trees planted in Victory Memorial
ground are among living monuments he
suggests. \ memorial roadway. plant
ed with native trees. an avenue of
trees restored to their natural beauty
along some street i'll the town. tie res
toratiOn of the original setting of some
historic spot. are all community enter
prises worth considering.
Planting individual trees in school
grounds or public park by school chill
drcn or by the whole town bring home
to everybody the significance of the
memorial. The smallest town can do
this, for the most appropriate trees
and shrubs are native and may be OBJ
tanned at little expense. Another idea
is that of setting off some one tree or
grove Of trees remarkable for their
beauty. age. or historical significance
and marking them with a bronze plate
which will tell the story of the memor-
ial.
\ plan especially appropriate for
schools is that of planting Il row OF
clms. naples. or some such native
trees to be marked. when the trees
have grown sufficiently, with a bronze
plate. If each child in the school con
tributes small sum. the fund will be
large enough to buy the plate when the
trees are well grown.

Only About $4,000 Reported
From County Up Until
Noon Today
COUNTY MUST NOT SPOIL
SPLENDID ECORD
Ii You Haven't Subscribed What You
Can, Go TO Your Bank and
Finish the job"

The Victory Bond Campaign in Rusk
county is away behind schedule. Most
Of The Upper Wisconsin counties sub
scribed their allotments after three
days solicitation, while Rusk county
was able TO report to headquarters only
about $4,000 of its $4,000 allotment
up to noon Friday.
1t was hoped that Rusk county would
report Il full subscription by Saturday,
but there is something decidedly wrong
and the situation must be faced by the
RuSk county people.
RuSk county has fulfilled every war
obligation so far and greatly over-sub-
subscribed its quota in some instances.
Our allotment of the Fifth and last
loan is much less than was expected.
Our record on war activities is an en-
viouS one, both as to the number of
men enlisted as we'll as to the manner
in which our county has met every de-
mand Of the government.
The question is: Are we going to
fall down on the Victory loan, or are
we going to keep our record clean?
Too many people forget that il the
war had lasted longer the government
would have, of necessity. been com
PEELED to call for loans and more loans.
Our plain duty is to finish the job in
the good old Rusk county way and to
do this we must all wake up, cheer up.
get on our toes and keep at il every
minute until, our allotment is sub
scribod. Me must forget all grOucheS
and grievances and bring back only Il
small part of the enthusiasm which we
had November H. We have finished
harder jobs than the Victory Loan.
We have less money to raise and more
reasons for raising it. The terms of
payment of the Victory bonds are cas-.
ier than any previous issues and the
interest rate is higher.
You have six months to pay for your
bonds and no payment is more than 20
per cent of the amount you subscribe.

RUSK co. TANK
DRIVER HOME
Ed Richardson One of Two Sur
Vivors When Machine Is
Hit BY German Shell

Ed Richardson was down from
Hawkins Tuesday, shaking hands with
some of his many Ladysmith friends.
ED left Rusk county with Troop X.
went to Camp Douglas and Waco with
them and was with the re-organized
unit, Battery B, when it went to Eu-
rope On the Leviathan he was taken
sick and left the unit in Liverpool.
On his recovery he was attached to the
branches of the service, and was sent
TO LaCurtin, France, for training. He
was sent back to England to complete
his training course and was finally sent
to the front as a member of the First
L. S. Tank Corps, known then as the
First e. S. Heavy Tank Corps.
Ed served both as machine gunner
and driver and saw some very lively
fighting, although like most of the
boys, he was reluctant to talk about it !.
In one of the battles, in which the re-
sistance was so desperate that his unit
failed to make its objective. in the
Cambria sector (iighting with British
troOpS), the tank Ed was driving was
put out of commission by direct hit
from an enemy field gun. The shell
entered the tank, which was of the
heavy type, very much larger than the
baby" tank that recently visited Lady
smith, and killed all but two of the
occupants outright. The projectile tore
its way through the lieutenant in com
mand. sitting beside Ed on the same
seat and went on into the rear com
partment of the tank where it eX-
plOded.
Ed and the other survivor grabbed
their machine gun and clambered out
of the disabled tank. only to be con
fronted with a jerry. who was simply
out of luck-that's all.
Ed says he and his companion beat
all speed records in finding cover in a
shell hole until darkness permitted
them to make their way back to the
American lines.
The tank that Ed made these enjoy
able trips in was one of the Mark
type, of 45 tons weight. These heavy
machines that played so important a
part in subduing the huns carried a
crew of from five to seven men. They
were British built. motive power being
furnished by Il very powerful poppet-
valve engine The smaller British
tanks. Ed states. are practically all
driven by the Knight motor the inyen-
tion of an Ohio man.
Ed suffered somewhat from shell
shock. but his nerves are getting back
to normal again and he seems none the
worse from his years service in France.
However, Rusk county looks like para
disc to him now and he is fed up on
war enough to do him for long time.

CHILDREN NEED
BUTTER & EGGS
No Substitutes For These Will
Supply the Needs of Grow
ing Boys and Girls

THE man who feeds his children on
substitutes for butter and eggs thinks
more of his money than of his chill
dren''
The above startling quotation from
q recent writer in the Wisconsin
Agriculturist is borne out by exhaust
i've experiments. as to the nutrltlye
fats essential to the development OF
young animals which are to be found
only in milk and eggs. These expert
ments were conducted some two years
ago by DR.. f. V. McCollum of the Wis
consin College of Agriculture.
Although various substitutes for
butter have been in common use for
many years, the necessity OF cOnsery-
ing many commodities during the war
introduced to the tables of all our
homes substitutes" quite as palatable
and perhaps equally nOurishing; not
SO however with the products Of the
cow and the hen. Butter and eggs are
high priced it is true. but not much out
Of proportion with other foods.
The following extract is taken from
the account of the experiments re-
ferred to as published in Hoards
Dairyman July y, 1916:
Suppose now we take all the fat out
of the egg yolk by extracting with
some solvent which dissOlves the fats,
and then put into the mixture of puri-
fed fOodstuffS the part of the yOlk
which is not fat. and then feed the
mixture to a group of little rats. We
find they will not grow. We can keep
them for a month on this ration with
out any increase in weight, and then
make them grow by putting back the
fats of the yolk which we had taken
out. There is something about this
which should make us stop and think
little. If we should have at hand
book on dietics or on animal feeding
and should turn to the part where fats
are discussed. we would see the state
ment that fats are Il concentrated
source Of energy which the animal
stores in time of liberal feeding which
it can draw upon in time of need as
source of heat or muscular work. We
would read nothing about any infiu-
ence of fats on growth.
Suppose at this point we make up Il
new batch of mixture of purified food
stuffS. and adding to it the fat free part
Of an egg yok. which addition we have
determined will not make little rats
grow We now add to it liberal
amount of olive oil instead of egg
fats and feed the resulting ration to
some little rats They will not grow.
If we take away the olive oil or leave
it in and add again the fats which we
took out Of the yolk. they will begin to
grow the day we make this addition.
and stop growing any day we take
these fats out. We might try a whole
series of experiments like the ones we
have described. and leaving out the
egg fats. try cOttonseed oil in one. lard
or tallow in others peanut oil or al
mond oil in others. and in all these eX-
periments there would be no growth
cluded one in which we put butterfat,
we should find that this lot would
grow just as did those which received
egg fats The fats from kidney
would induce growth and to some ex-
tent those from the muscles, but the
vegetable fats and oils will not do so.
