 This poem is the first attempt, here or in Europe, to treat as a dramatic unity the complete world war chroni cle of any one of the allied nations. Italy's entrance into the war, her mag nificent fighting at the top of the world on the mountain. peaks she sought to redeem from the Hapsburg vultures, the tragedy of her defeats, and the splendor of her victory. are set forth under the figure of seven url- loosed seals. a sym bolisn akin to that of the Biblical Apocalypse. Her aspect of a glorious ruined remnant from her ancient greatness under Rome is shown changing, under wars disci- pline to youth reborn. for

 In this volume there is given an &C., count of the activities of Wisconsin people during the great world war, giving in part the record of the state and the cooperation of the citizens with the view to disproving the charges of disloyalty made against the state during the progress of the war.

THE CASE OF BRAINS.
As Argument for Brains, as Opposed
to Hard Work, Take the Oil
Operator

Theo. Vail, one of the chief bust
ness executives of the nation says:
"Undirected by brains men might
bore hole in the ground and the
sum total of their labor would re-
present nothing more than merely a
hole in the ground. Directed by
brains, the same men might bore a
hole in the ground and tap an ocean
of oil which would be harnessed to
the service of man, adding to hi )
comfort and his wealth.
Mr.. Vail, of course was making an
argument for the capitalist.
But, Mr.. Vail, you don't need q
brain-inspired hole to make money
in oil. Indeed many, many of the best
brains in the country have poured
themselves down an oil hole withou
getting even bad smell.
And frequently a slack witted bur,
TO has kicked a gold nugget right
out from under a sage bush, wher
prospectors had paved the ground
for decades in vain.
If you want to make an argument
for brains, as opposed to hard work
take the oil promoter, who just nov
is piling up wealth in dozen cities
Equipped with a lease on some
desert land somewhere, photograph
or two of some oil wells; and a vivit
Imagination; coupled with a pleasins
personality, and a few leather arm
chairs; this genius will heap up mon
ey in piles, and that without diggint
a hole, or making a survey, o
bothering with all those sordit
mental exercises that executive
ability so scorns.
If the brain directed hole is wort
a million, where the Drawn drives
hole is worth nothing; surely TIL
desert waste, without a hole at al
that is made to grow dollars withou
visible effort by the brainy promot
err, is worth all the heaps and heap
of coin it frequently attracts.
Only, somehow, blue sky laws an
other legal barriers do make dis
tinction between imaginary, no matte
how virile and genius inspired, an
hard work.
Finally nothing is attained with
out vigorous effort; that is, nothin
that endures, physical exertion sti
is the foundation of the world

sorting to home canning if they

Fer quart can from the grocers' shelf

A woman with a large family liv-
ing in well-to-do circumstances an
nounced in the newspaperman's pres.
ence that she intended to can peaches
at home. She was asked to keep close
track of her costs which she did. For
materials it cost her 19A cents per
quart can. She had the glass Jars so
no cost for containers was figured
but q of a cent would cover it as a
2a cent glass jar will last a life
time in the average home. Her labor
at 40 cents per hour cost 10 cents
per can. Peaches canned at home
! cost this woman not to exceed &c
cents per quart of which 40 cents
per hour was earned for her labor

Deeds Must Show Consideration.

Government officials, who are look
ing after the collection of the income
taxes, are not satisfied with $1,00
and other valuable consideration, as
given as the consideration in trans
ferring property. They claim, it is
said, that this is a plain case of try
ing to cover up and make 1T hard for
them to determine a basis for figur-
ing income and revenue, and is un-
lawful. 1t is claimed in some places
these special agents are compelling
the makers of such transfers to pay
a fine. In the early day this method
was adopted in order to protect the
buyer in case he wanted to sell, as
many people in those days-and
many have never gotten over it yes
! placed a value on what they were
buying by what it cost the seller. This
method also kept the assessor from
boosting -alues when he came
around to assess. Now that the gov,
eminent must have some basis fol
figuring your income it looks as il
the $500 and valuable considera
ton" would have to go.

deep in the flesh of his ARMAND
then, most luckily the belt began t.
slip. Otherwise he would have lost

Big Interest ON $500 an Acre.

Usage, IA farmer living near
Riceville states in answer to the
statement that land prices have gone
too high, that for the year 1917 his
farm produced in hogs, dairy pro-
ducts and oats an average return of
$55 per acre, which left him, after
deducting interest, insurance, hired
help, seed, boughten feed, repairs,
ETC., s29 per acre. AS will be seen
this is ten per cent interest return
on valuation of $500 per acre, or a
5 per cent return on a valuation of
$3.50 per acre. The following year,
1918, his net return per acre from
his farm. was $31, or per cent on
$516 an acre. A speculator would
doubtless have considerable trouble
getting hold of this farm for less
than $500 per acre.
