MILK IS BEST DRINK
COUNTY AGENT COMPARES LAC
TEAL FLUID TO OTHER FORMS
OF NOURISHMENT.
Use More Milk.

Many people Go not realize that milk
is one OF the cheapest and best foods
that enter the home. Our experiment
station has mailed to every school in
the state an attractive poster, entitled
Children Need Milk They need it
for health, growth and strength. The
poster IS intended to impress the fact
upon the mind of teachers and pupils
in our public schools, with the idea
that boys and girls will use milk in
the diet, daily. 1t oftentimes happens,
however, that milk is little used in
the farm home, possibly because is is
so common.
In speaking before a mixed audi
ence held in a country schoolhouse re-
Gently, The writer asked how many of
those present had milk for breakfast.
OF the sixty persons il the audience,
only three indicated that they had
drunk milk as a part of their break
fast. One of these was a university
professor, who happened to be pres
emit; another was a professor in a
nearby Normal school while the third
was young lady from the city.
When people come to realize the
relative value of milk as a food when
compared with other common artic-
les, they will increase the milk ra-
ton, and make it part of the diet,
especially of all children. One au-
thority states that quart of milk is
equal in food value to eight eggs, or
three-fourths of a pound of beef
steak, or three rounds of Goldfish. We
should insist on getting good, clean,
wholesome milk, and then use it lib
orally The dairy farmers of Wiscon-
sin must learn to advertise their pro-
duct if they wish it to receive fair
treatment on the open market.
The meeting which was postponed,
of the Live Stock Breeders of Grant
county. will be held Saturday p. M
with the county agent.

MANY GOOD POEMS
AND THE VICTORY LOAN COMMIT
TEE FOUND 1T HARD TO MAKE
A CHOICE THE WINNERS.

The judges of the prize poem con-
test for the Woman's Liberty Loan
Committee received so many good po-
ems that making a choice was diff
cult. Harley Starrett of Beetown
was given first and Mrs. Charles E
Thier of Ellenboro, second Follow
ing are their contributions with a
couple of other good ones:
There's flaming page in history
Where our soldiers fought and bled
There's dingy trail of darkness
Where the plundering foeman fed.
For the boys whose lives were given
Mingle gratitude with tears;
For the boys who are returning
Lend your dollars with your cheers
Be a hero like the doughboy,
Be a worker, not a drone,
And We'll seal our splendid triumph
With the fifth, The Victory Loan!
Harley J. Starrett
When America for Humanity's sake
Unfurled her flag across the sea,
Four loans she called on us to make
To fight against autocracy.
The battles won, the war is DER,
But still our labors must not cease,
FOr Victory now, just one loan more
To pay for us the price of peace.
Mrs. Charles E. Thier.
We're going over the top for you,
boys;
Not over the top in France,
But over the top in the Victory Loan,
For it's our turn to advance.
Now that the war is over,
And the boys are coming home,
Everyone ought to be willing enough
To subscribe for the Victory Loan.
Lucille Postel, MuscCda High School.
pray dear Lord
No boundless hoard
OF jewels fine,
Nor land, nor kline
Til Victory's debt is paid;
only pray for simple grace
To look each soldier in the face
Worthy and undismayed..
May some small sacrifice I requite
When Victory's bonds underwrite.
Anonymous.

ent tested 100 per cent clear for the

Workingmen blocked the roadway

PRESIDENT WILSON
RETURNING HOME
FEELS PERSONAL PRESENCE rs
NECESSARY TO WORK or
PEACE CONFERENCE
WILL GO BACK MARCH IS
Wilson Intends To Give Personal At
tention To The Work OF The
Supreme couneilI

London.-President Wilson sailed
from Brest for New York February 16,
according to Reuters Paris correspon-
dent.
Evidence of President Wilson's
intention not to abandon the peace
conference upon the ratification of the
society of nations plan was found in
the disclosure that he plans to return
from Washington to Paris by March
Is. This involves so brief a stay at
Washington as TO permit only the sign
ing of bills during the closing hours
of congress. 1t is understood that Mr..
Wilson intends to give personal atten-
ton in Paris to the work of the SUI
preme executive council which prom
ises to be the most important feature
of the peace conference after the dis
posal of the society of nations.
AS result of the meeting of the
Paris conference commission on the
society of nations doubts were express
ed for the first time that the project
of the organization of the society
would be completed before President
Wilson's departure for the United
States.
Questions have arisen with the com
mission which are of such a nature
that they may prolong the discussions,
and this gave rise to serious appre-
hension that the perfected draft of the
plan would not be completed by Febru-
ary 16, which was the date provision
ally set for the presidents departure
