APRIL

A61S1A
A tickle maid is April,
Like any fair coquetts,
With glances bright she wooss us,
And then she spreads her net.
She lures US with her smiling;
She bathes us with her tears;
She plays on, our emotions-
Our hopes and joys and fears.
She sings . song of sunshins-
OF birds and bees and flowers;
She whispers of soft breezes
That sigh through radiant bowers.
In ectasy we court her
This maid Of frail alloy,
Whose tears are sparling jewels
OF lachrymosal joy.
She bids the blossoms waken
And weeps, but not in gloom;
She fain would linger longer
To see the world abloom.
So like gentle Phoebe
OF varying moods she clings;
She wins US with caresses
While vernal nature sings.
We love this winsome maiden,
But little does she care;
We scorn the jade so tickle
And get the naughty stare.
It's hot and cold she plays US,
Whene'er she gets the call,
But still we rather like her
She's April-that is all.

REDS WOULD REPEAT
IN u. S. WHAT THEY
FORCED IN RUSSIA,

New YOrk-Ludwig G. A. K Mar
tens, the new potential ambassador"
of the TrotSky-Lenine government to
the United States, announced that his
credentials, which were signed by
George Tchitcherin, Bolshevist min
lister of foreign affairs, have been UNI
officially acknowledged by the state
department. He added he had every
reason to be optimistic over the out
look of the future course of the Unit
ed States regarding his application
for the renewal of commercial inter-
course between Russia, under the
Bolshevists, and the United Safes.
He represented that Bolshevist au-
thorities are ready to deposit $780,
100000 in gold as guarantee of their
good faith in event Washington
agrees to the proposal which Mr..
Martens has submitted to the state
department.
A meeting to hear Martens was
held under the auspices of the Social
lists and was presided over by S. j.
Block, chairman of the Socialist state
cimmittee. The speakers included the
editors of three foreign language
newspapers, The German Volksei-
tung, The Novy Mir which is Russian,
and the Hungarian weekly, The Ell
ore. Santera Nuorteva, the Bolshe-
visit propaganda chief, and Albert
Rhys Williams, former Congrega-
tionalist minister, also spoke.
The speeches were of as radical
nature as any ever delivered in New
York. Ludwig Lore, editor of the
Volkszeitung, said that the radicals
of the United States are now prepar-
ing to represent in America what the
Bolshevists have done in Russia, and
his statement brought forth prolong-
ed applause. Block, who announced
that Martens lis here to spread the
Socialist propaganda in the United
States" said that Eve will see to it
that Mr.. Woodrow, ere a few weeks
have passed, grants a general amnes-
ty to all political prisoners

REMOVES HEARTS, BATTLES
AND MESSAGES THEM.

ChicagO-The worlds Ponce de Lee
on has come to Chicago to teach the
doctrine of a long, healthy life. He
is DR.. Octave Laurent, surgeon ma
jor of the French army, a Belgian by
birth, who during the war revived
the hearts of IS French soldiers Of
ficially pronounced dead. Those sol
diers are now in perfect health.
DR.. Laurent expects to establish
Institutes for education of the lay
public in the common ills of man
kind. Already 100000 has been Civ
en- by Chicago man toward the gen.
eral fund.
Be Moderate.
BY means of charts, lantern slides,
lectures and non-technical descrip-
tions, DR.. Laurent and his aides will
endeavor to show the layman how he
may live to reach a ripe old age The
entire course centers about the one
thought-abuse.
He does not say one should not
smoke, nor chew nor drink eff one
drinks or eats or smokes in excess to
the point of abuse, then he is endan-
gering his life-he is cutting away
the years he will remain with u.s." is
the way he sums it up.
Takes Out Heart.
DR.. Laurent told middle west sur
geons and doctors of his war expert
ences. He talked of his method for
reviving the human heart-bringing
it back to life after it had ceased beat
ing.
"'The man is dead yes officially
but not for me- said the doctor. HE
is dead, but we shall see.
Il separate his heart from the body
separate it absolutely. Then I
battle it in living liquid common
table salt, glucose and blood. Then,
by series of messages, make it beat
lit is alive. I put it back into the
body The man grows strong he is
not dead. He gets well and returns
to his family strong man"
Dr. Laurent divides existence of the
heart into three stages as-life or ag-
ony, hpobiosis under life) or still
ness, death or decomposition.

SOLDIERS BUILT FIRST
WISCONSIN HIGHWAY.

Madison, April 6-From the first
Wisconsin road to the proposal now
before the legislature to issue $780,
100000 in bonds to carry out a vast
matchmaking project is a far cry.
Ninety years ago the two chief set
Elements in Wisconsin were Green
Bay and Prairie du CHEN, and the on
ly highway between them was the tor
tuous FoX-Wisconsin river route
some four hundred miles in length.
In 1880 Congress appropriated $4,000
Tor a military road connecting the
forts of Green Bay, Portage and
Prairie du Chen. Judge Doty and
Lieut.. Center were commissioned to
survey the route. Both men became
famous in later years, Doty as gov
ernor and politician, Cented as a
railway magnate. They finished their
survey in 1888 The route laid down
ran up the south side of the Fox and
around the eastern borded of Lake
Wlnnebago, thence across the prair-
les to Portage, from here to Blue
Mounds in Dane county, and then west
along the watershed later known as
the military ridge" to Prairie du
CHEN.
In 1885 Lewis Cass, secretary of
war under Jackson, ordered the road
to be built by the regular army garri-
sons along the route. Squads of SOL
diers went out in turns, working a
week at a time. They chopped way
about two rods wide through the tim
Der, often leaving the stumps in the
middle of the roadway. Over the
prairies the route was merely marked
by wooden stakes, while in thin tim
Der and the openings it was indicated

GOOD WAGES AS A
NATIONS BULWARK.

CHICAGO-Good wages maintained
throughout the country in every in
dustry are the first essential to the
welfare of the country and a bulwark
of the government against socialism
and bolshevism, Philip P. Campbell,
U. S. Congressman from Kansas, de-
clared here before a convention of
oil men meeting to form an "Ameri-
can Petroleum Institute" 1t is ne
cessary to see that living and wages
are maintained at so high standard
that every man may sit at table of
his own and have his own cottage,
the speaker continued. If this is done,
he said, the workingman will give
scant hearing to the doctrines of boil
sheyism.
