REDS WANT JUST.
PEACE, ,LENINES SAYS

NEW YORK, Feb. 5.-The Russian
Soviet government wants peace, and
is willing to make concessions to get
it, but IL the allies insist on war, the
Soviets will fight to the end, Premier
Lenine declared in a copyrighted in
terview published in the New York
World today.
The Interview, which is the first OBJ
tained with the Bolshevik leader, was
given Robert Minor, an American
newspaper man, and was cabled from
Berlin by the World correspondent.
Lenine told Minor that the Soviets
were even inclined to pay the debts
incurred by the old regime IL by that
means the war can be stopped.
Ia Asked what he thought OF Russia's
eligibility to the League Of Nations,
Lenine replied that they are not
forming a league OF nations, but a
league Of imperialists to strangle the
nations" He added that President
Wilson Is a shrewd man."
Lenine discussed American political,
economic and social affairs, and then
abruptly asked, How soon will the
revolution reach American The Boil
shevik premier said he wondered
"how long Gompers can hold the Ia
Dor unions as subservient to imperial
ism, as he Is" He described the Inn
prisonment OF Eugene v. Debs as a
SHANE" and asked why the American
Federation OF Labor does not do some
thing about the imprisonment OF "Big
Bill" Haywood.
Minor himself explained that Rus
sian industries are again IN direct
control Of the business class, through
their naturalization. Business and
technical experts have been placed in
charge Of the industries under the
name OF peoples commissaries." He
said tHat the red army is stronger un-
der revolutionary discipline" than IT
was under it's old leaders.

Gentlemen:
Again the pleasure is such that my
second annual report can be submitted
for your consideration and after one
brief year of work find many prob
lens yet to be solved and vast i'm
provements to be made, although
many changes were made in the bet
tering of the physical conditions of the
buildings and surroundings, find many
schools yet to be improved. Vast
changes were made in teaching force
since twenty-five new teachers were
hired in the various schools.
Ny report to you will not be in
keeping with former reports, but some
what different. What has been done in
our schools for advancement speaks for
itself and the question for your delib-
Grafton is: What must be done the COM
ing school year to keep apace with the
progress that must be accomplished in
order to keep our rural schools up to
the standard rather than to allow
them to retrograde? What shall that
standard be2
The standard might be divided in the
following classes and subdivisions:
School grounds with some nine points
of discussion. School buildings, includ-
ing light, heat, ventilation, sanitary
conditions and decorations. Equip
ment with some fifty requirements.
School Boards, Teachers, Scholars and
Parents of the school district.
The school grounds should be made
attractive for maag sons. Neat

Agricultural Meetings.
There were so many meeting held in
connection with Liberty Loan drives
and other war work, that it was thought
advisable to hold fewer meetings than
usual. Twenty-Five meetings were held
at which 1912 people were reached.
When the war ends perhap more and
better agricultural meetings can be held.
Tractor Demonstration.
The draft of farm bows and hired
men for military service has caused a
great shortage of farm labor Farm
ers have decided to make an attempt
to meet this by purchasing tractors. A
tractor demonstration was held so that
farmers might observe the merits Of
the different tractors. Thirteen rac-
tors ploWed two acres each. Records
were kept on each tractor as to
fuel consumption and time required to
pillow two acres.
Farmers were given splendid oppor-
tunity to see what tractors can do for
it was extremely dry and tie land was
tough quack grass sod that had not
been turned over for twelve years. 1900
people Witnessed this demonstration.
The work during the past year has
given the County Agricultural Agent
a knowledge of local conditions which
win be Of great benefit in more
efficiently carrying on his work in
Kenosha County.

Farm Accounting.

The County Agricultural Agent is en-
ployed for the purpose of helping farm
ers to become better farmers. A farm
err will not improve in his methods of
farm management until he finds out Just
how much money he is making or loos-
ing. For this reason an effort was made
to induce farmers to keep records of
their farm business transactions in a
handy farm account book which was
designed by Prof. ID. III. Otis of the
Farm Management Department of the
University of Wisconsin, SO farmers in
Kenosha County are now using these
farm account books. They will be col
lected on January LIST, 1919, the rec
ords summarized, study of the results
made and suggestions given as to
methods of improvement. A compari-
son will also be made Of each farm with
the average Of all the Kenosha County
farms where records are kept. Tt is
expected that much good will result
from this work if the farmers will try
to improve their farm management
methods by acting on the suggestions
that are given to them,
