of the South planted the largest acre

81 hope the farmers will do the right
thing this year. Our farmers have
been warned of the disaster that will
bcfall them if they do not give heed
to the advice of those who have been
watching the ebb and flow of condi-
tions for many years. Now, what is
Il c right thing for the farmer to do d?
Here is the advice of the combined
thought of the leaders of the South
Hold your 1918 crop until the
price reaches 35 cents and even then
sell sparingly; cut your acreage 33
and 1-3 per cent; and reduce your
fertilizer under cotton from 33 and
l-3 to so per cent. If this is done, we

from bankruptcy and slavery.
investigation shows plainly what
the South has been losing annually by
the slipshod method it has had for
selling cotton. The South has been
losing annually S1SO,OOO,OOO. I can
prove this and may do so at another
time when space permits. Can this
system of selling be changed? 1t
can, How? BY organization and CO.
operation of the farmers, bankers and
business men of all classes.
"Have we ever had over-production
of cotton? would answer "no," but
VIC have had consumption, as
| will prove. There has been no over
production so long as our people in
the South have not enough clothing
when the weather is cold and bad. 1t
was not over production of cotton that
caused the price to be low-but the
under-consumption of cotton goods. 1t
is fact, strange as it may seem, that
the farmers who produce the cotton
and the labor that spins and weaves
i into cloth are the most poorly clad
people in the country, as rule. There
has not been one family in 500 that
could have used three times as much
cotton goods if their real needs could
have been met. but the price of cotton
was so low. the product selling at cost
Of production, that no money was left
to purchase clothes. I have known

FOUND THE BEST ROADS
OUTSIDE OF MARATHON

Last week, quite a number of our
citizens motOred to the lakes in north
ern Wisconsin,, a distance of over 100
miles. The weather was ideal and
conditions most delightful for such
an outing. When asked how they
found the roads, the answer in every
instance was, fine, with the excep-
tion oil those passed over in Marathon
county" Whichever way one autos,
north, south, east or west, the same
answer is received, ''the roads were
fine, except in Marathon county"
After striking the Lincoln county
line one finds the dirt, roads con-
tlnually being dragged, this system of
dragging seems to be the order clear
through to Lake Superior, and in
favorable weather the drive to Plum
lake from Wausau can be made in
four hours, which is an average speed
of about twenty miles an hour. Some
or the roads are as good as the best
macadamed streets of Wausau.
Above Tomahawk there is a stretch
OF new road for about ten miles, which
is being opened. 1t will shorten the
route north some four miles. This
road is in very good shape at the
present time; when completed it will
be a wide, turn-piked road, running
through a most beautiful country.
Later in the season, any automobile
can make the run north to any of the
many lakes by following the state
trunk highway system, as easily as if
travelling over the improved streets of
our city. This system is being i'm
proved each year, and as it is yet in
its infancy, great things are expected
from it, in the future by pleasure
seekers, as well as by those on mis-
sions of business. The fine road bring
the playground of the middle west"
right to our doors.
One of our practical young men SAYS
that If the Marathon county dirt roads
were properly turnpiked and dragged
after each rain, We could have the fin
est roads in the country.
Just think of it, under the present
conditions, in less than an hour one
can be at Lake View, near Merrill.
In one and half hours at Dudley.
Two hours at Clear Lake, near Tom
ahawk. Three hours at Horsehead
and many other lakes; in less than
four hours at Kewaukesaga and at
least in four and half hours at Plum
or Star Lake.

ESCAPES
DEATH AT MELLEN

Frank E. Tice, the popular travelling
salesman for Sprague- Warner COM
pany can today consider himself a
lucky man and thankful for being
alive. At Mellen last Thursday, Mr..
Tice came very near losing his life.
AS it was the Ford which he uses in
making his large territory was smash
ed to Smithereens and he himself was
badly bruised, the result of crossing
the 500 line tracks in that city while
train was heading his way. The
train was making a flying switch and
without the least warning Mr.. Tice
was struck by the cars. He was
thrown quite distance and was lucky
enough to escape with a very bad
fracture of the right shoulder and a
sprained ankle. He was accompanied
home the same evening by a doctor
from Mellen. At the present time he
is resting as good as can be expected
under the circumstances but it will
be quite some time before he will be
able TO take TO the road again for
his company.-Marshfie Times.

BOLSHEVISM IN OPERATION

The following is written by Walter
Camp of the National Security League:
"a great many people of the present
generation of Americans, and a great
many of the fathers and grandfathers
of others, came to this country in the
belief that it was a better place in
which to live than any other on the
face of the globe. For this reason it
seems worth while for all of us, who
still believe this, to stop and consider
the things that might make it less
desirable home. There are those who
would suffer some of the extremist
ideas of Europe to be spread among
our people here. What sort of life is
going on now among people who have
suffered this? Here is the picture, as
stated in a recent newspaper item:
1.-TWO eye-witnesses of the murder of
the famous Russian General Russki,
the hero of the Galician campaign,
tell the story of his end He was
asked to command the Red Guards but
refused, saying, L can fight against
Germans, but against Russians, MOI"
After being sent home he was re-arrest-
ed as a hostage two or three weeks lat
er by a new commissary of the Reds.
He was taken with the second party
of hostages outside the town, where
they were made to dig their graves.
He was ordered to undress, but re-
fused saying, L shall not; you can
strip my corpse later and knelt to
pray. The eXecutioner ran in and
struck off his right hand with his
sword and another following slashed
off his head. Forty-seven wounded
officers of the Officers Battalion were
taken prisoner and taken out to the
field where, with blood running from
undressed wounds, they were marched
and compelled to dig their graves.
Weak as they were they frequently
fell but were lashed with a knout un-
til some sort of hole was dug. Then
an eighteen-year-old Tartar stood ten
PAGES from them and opened fire
which he continued for ten minutes
until thirty-seven of these men lay in
the hole, some dead, some only
wounded, but they were all buried.
The remaining ten were tortured, af-
ter having their hands tied behind
their backs, while the right eye of
each was put out with sword"
''Now Dne must be with one party or
the other. Would you rather be with
those perpetrating these atrocities or
be among those suffering the results :?
The choice seems an unsatisfactory
one at best. Viewed in this way one
can readily reach the conclusion to
kill the first attempts to place a virus
among us that in practical operation
results in poisoning all living condi
tions"

ENEMIES OF FISH

James Nevin of the state fish COM
mission says that there are three
species of birds, which are the en-
emies OF fish-the kingfsher, American
bitter and blue heron. On a stream
where fourteen blue heron we're
counted, two of the birds were killed.
Their stomachs were examined and
one of them contained % and the
other 72 fish. Mr.. Nevin thinks that
instead of protecting the birds named,
there should be a bounty given for
each one killed. Others>are very de-
structive of fish and denied the i'm
munity of a permanent closed season.

He said he did not especially, but he couldn't get older people In the business. He had belief in the possibilities Of youth and if he selects young people lie believes they will continue to re- main with him many years and build their plant.
