LETTER FROM
THE GOVERNOR

To the Public
Music. direct from the soul, is
the expression of JOY for all man
kind. just now, our souls feel
light with the concluding of world
peace. During the war, we sang
keep the Home Fires Burning" "
Now, that it is over, we should
again assemble, by communities,
and sing
"My Country. 'tis of thee,
Sweet land of Liberty"
Governors of other states have
issued proclama,ions setting forth
the week of Feb. 1922 as "A season
for singing, to celebrate the sue
cessful termination of the war.
do not think this is necessary, but
l do hope that all choral societies,
clubs and kindred organizations
that meet on that week, and that
all schools. churches and theatres.
will open and close their respective
gatherings with patriotic songs.
1t would please me greatly, and
be especially fitting, if the mayors
of those towns and cities that pro.
cured special song books, during
the war, for community singing,
would call their respective commu-
mites together again on Saturday
evening, Feb. 22, and hold public
singing festivities.

STATE BOARD MAY
CLOSE MINING SCHOOL.

There is talk in and about Platte
vile that the Central board of educa-
ton may close the Mining school at
the Platte city, because of light en-
rollment. The Plattevillians argue
that the cause for light attendance
is the absence of the boys in military
service 1t is praiseworthy fact that
the students at the Mining school en-
listed promptly, all at personal sac
rifice. One of the best men to go out
from Wisconsin was Capt. Harvey
Weidman, student at this school.
If it is not too blamed impudent, al
low us to suggest that Mrs. Victor
Berger is big gun on the state board
of education, appointed by Gov. Phil
ipp, and like her husband. the cele-
brated Victor, she may believe in
closing the schools, rather than to
have the boys shooting up the Dutch.
This, TOO, may be German propaganda.

"FOXES AND HOUNDS A
PROFITABLE GAME NOW.

This winter, to date, has been an
excellent one for the fox exterminat
ing industry in Grant county Up TO
date the killing has been large ana
the profit good for those engaged in
it. In two weeks, Fred Irwin and
John Roesch, partners on the trail,
knocked the everlasting daylights out
of five providers, two of them red,
three grays But the credit is not all
theirs; their faithful hounds are en-
titled to part of the glory, perhaps
a good part of it.
On Wednesday,, last week, these
hunters were north of the city, and
their hounds Jumped" two foxes,
which were promptly shot. Fred says
the shot was about 100 yards, and the
mark was not very large. When ask
ed about the dogs, Fred allowed they
were of the long cared variety just
common hounds. They drew bounties
on the three grays, but allowed that
the pelts of the reds were worth too
much to be disfgured by cutting away
the ears. A good red fox pelt is worth
from $40 to $780,
1t is reported that John Jerrett
bagged two; Henry Grebe, one;
Merle Walker, one and Ed. Taylor
three. Isaac Lomas, village of Fen
nimore. got another timber wolf, the
kind that returns $50 bounty.

LANCASTER QUOTA
IS 20 FRENCH ORPHANS

Do you know that on the lists Of
children assigned to the Lancaster
Committee are names of more than 20
little French boys and girls who have
received no aid from America?
We feel certain that among the
readers of the Herald there are more
than 20 who will be glad of an oppor-
tunity to bring happiness to some
little French child whose father is
among the unnumbered heroes of
France who will not return to home
and loved ones.
Ten cents day will do it. You
furnish us $3.50, (pay it in monthly
or quarterly installments or as you
like, only pledge us that you will pay
it during the year,, and we shall see
that it is all paid to the mother, or
other near relative, of some one of
these Youngsters IN quarterly pay
mems. (About As francs every three
months.)
You receive the name and address
of the child and the chances are that
you will receive a letter from that
little boy or girl so full OF gratitude
and affection that you will want to
thank US for bringing you this oppor-
tunity. Many such letters are being
received by subscribers here.
If you do not understand the work
of this committee, ask us about it.

More German Intrigue.

Washington-The is in America
today an organized plan to bring about
violent revolution. 1t is already large
with hundreds of publications being
issued regularly, and hundreds of
thousands of sympathizers; it draws
its inspiration and form from German
sources; it has been closely connected
with the pacifism which also grew
largely from German propaganda, and
it is growing rapidly, according to
testimony given the Overman inquiry
committee by Archibald e. Stevenson
of the department of justice.

Democracy Amid Splendor.

Paris The "tea" given at the Paris
White house Friday afternoon was es-
pecially and exclusively for the work
ingmen and workingwomen who sur
round President and Mrs Wilson dur
ing their stay here. It's purpose was
to make them feel they were members
of the official family, no matter what
their occupations The gendarmes who
guard the gates, the gruff sergeants
and privates of the American troops
that patrol the inner grounds, the
chauffeurs who whirl the presidential
cars about the streets and American
telephone girls Of the private exchange
all were there. Some were bashful,
some overcome by stage fright, others
at ease in the drawing rooms of the
palace. The President and Mrs. Will
son acted as hosts for an hour.

LOCAL DRAFT BOARD
CLOSING OUT WORK.

The local board, draft, is putting its

Right now all missionaries are be-
ing arranged, each in accordance with
definite order, and then these papers
are put into packing cases, prepare
tory to final disposal according to in
structions that may be received from
Washington, d. c. There were four
drafts, each calling for specific kind
of QUESTIONABLE. Each set Of draft
questionable is filed by itself, in nu-
merical order. The ultimate destina-
ton of these papers is not known, but
some of them will be used by tax as
SCISSORS, especially by income tax as
SCISSORS, as it is said they are at
strange variance with last years re-

ISLAND MARKET DOOMED.

When the good old U. S. A. wanted
a couple of old islands in the Missis-
sippi river for cannon testing sta
tons the market on that kind of re-
atty took mighty bound. Uncle Sam
offered 5000 an acre. about ten times
their worth for anything, except as
a snake summer resort. But the
islanders wanted $500 per acre. Judge
Lands settled their hash in Galena
the other day by holding that the
ground was well sold at the govern
ment's offer. These are prosperous
times for islands.

from FIT. Sheridan on a 5-day fur
Tough, leaving on Monday to return to
the hospital He looks fine and dandy
and says he never felt better. But,
like all good soldiers who have seen
real service, Andrew is a poor talk
err about his experiences. He allows
that other fellows have seen more
and suffered more than he. He was
wounded in battle on the west front,
at some place north of scissors. But
he insists that it was not worth mem
tioning. He went out with he COM
pany that was formed at Platteville
by Capt. Harvey Weidman, and was
with the 32nd Division. one that saw
as much grief and struggle as any
American unit.

"GET HIM FIRST"

That was the army rule, says PIT.

which they would surround German

from the rear. He was not strongly
impressed by the valor of the boche,

LEGISLATIVE DO|NGS
WISCONSIN LEGISLATURES is Al
READY SWAMPED WITH PRO-
POSED LAWS-LITTLE DONE.

The legislative Burroughs adding
machine got all gummed up in trying
to compute the number of bills al
ready introduced. But the interesting
industry of creating bills has only be-
gun. There will be thousands of them
before the session ends, and nine
tenths of them will be utterly sense
less. AS an example of how bills pour
in, take the league of nations idea.
Already there are three bills in the
senate relative to this great enter
prise and two in the assembly.
They all agree with President Will
sons plan, so far as a member of the
state legislature is able to understand
the scheme. One was written by SEN
ator Roy P. Wilcox and declares such
a league should clinch the victory
won" etc. Like too many other bills.
these seem to be written largely for
home consumption.
One bill has passed both houses-to
add one member to the state board of
education. There were nine members,
the woman being Mrs. Victor Berger,
wife of the celebrated Socialist. She
was appointed two years ago by Gov.
Phillip, just before the st. Louis So

Among the crowds entitled to seats
on the assembly floor is George H.

the owners, editors and publishers of
the Baraboo Daily Republic and a
right good fellow. He never went
wrong until he went into the legisla-
ture. But he has sense and will do
the best he can to get something done.

he may remember that it arrives

Evidently the boys were all in on
