Arc you a. war or is the United
States IN Il state Of peace with tho
world?
l:lihu Root in case before IN"
United States District court in New
York contends that the war is over.
while the Assistant United States Dis
trir; Attorney claims the opposite.
Judge Walter Evans nf the United
States District court for tho District
Of kentucky. sitting Louisville, NY"
recently answered the question in an
opinion wherein no decided that the
present war powers Of the InIted
States government ended with the
signing of the armisttcc last November.
The immediate result of the decision
so rendered is that a defendant trlcd
for violating an army regulation paSe''
upon tho war time Legislation. must
bc discharged, and with the failing OF
that prosecution must go down the
entire intricate fabric Of regulation
based upon the war power or the
United States govcrnmcn. SO far as
that district Is concerned.
1t would seem that the entire struc-
ture must stand or fall altogether. for
lust as the smallest infraction OF nor
NAL personal liberty of action may he
palliatcd only by thhat state OF aclual
war existing as q fact and In law
which must be found by tho court IN
order to allow its justification. SD also

ulations of national scapc. the price

graphs. censorship, and regulation OF
the press and all the hundred other
government activities unauthorized o.
actually forbidden in times OF peace
| must Immediately cease upon the tor
mination of war and the return Of

The decision Of Judge Evans may ne
reversed upon appeal. and il is prom,
able that the United States viii appeal

ORDER SEEDS EARLY
Gunderson Asks the Farmers
of Villas County to Order
Their Limestone and Seeds
Early Thru Him.

According to County Agent
Gunderson, now is the. time for
the farmers of Villas county to
prepare for the coming season S
seed. Corn can be purchased di-
rect from Wisconsin.
Gunderson says:
We have had several inquiries
concerning ground limestone
lately and l feel safe in saying
that this spring there will be
shipped in one or more cars OF
this material. There is no ques-
ton that much of the land here
needs lime. The soil is acid to a
large degree. Alfalfa will not
thrive at all here unless the soil
is lined and it is safe to say that
the clover crops would be much
improved were the soil lined.
Now lime is not universal
remedy nor fertilizer, Those
that. think lime will help all crops
will be disappointed in its use.
Indirectly it will help all crops
by producing larger crops of the
legumes, viz: clover, alfalfa, peas,
beans, vetch and so on. If the
land is depleted, that is, run out
and too sandy, lime will do very
little for it. What is needed there
is manure or something to pro-
duce humus so as to help the soil
hold water. Lime is not a fertl-
lizer and should not be used with
this in view. But it cures acidity
and will improve the soil slightly
in other ways that it would take
too long to explain.
If you have in mind trying some
limestone leave your orders and in
the spring we can order it. The cost
used to be $2.11 ton delivered here,
but it is slightly higher now as every
thing else. 1t ought not to be over
81. 80 ton. l get definite quotations
soou and will have them at the Office.
We are getting inquiries concerning
seeds daily. Glover seed is high. 1t
will cost between As and so cents a
pound for the best seed.
But corn is abundant and reason
able In price This year we can get
Wisconsin GROWN corn and will not
have to get seed corn from the East.
This year there ought to be grown
in Villas county the largest corn acre
age ever known, and there should De
build the largest number OF sllos ever
built here. People ought to have
enough of hay buying by this time.
A silo can be built for from 500 to SO
and corn can always be grown mature
enough for silage; and we may get

ripe corn By the law Of chance we
are entitled to a corn year soon as
there have been several unfavorable
ones.
One of the southern counties recent
ly took bull census to ascertain how
large proportion of scrub bulls were
used in the county. The result was
out of every 100 bulls used 81 were
scrubs, 81 grades and 26 were pure
breds. This was in one of our large
counties noted for its cattle. The
showing is not good. | believe there
is a larger proportion of pure-bred
bulls used here in the woods.
In his address to the county agri-
cultural agents this fall Dean Russell
who has been at Washington all sum-
mer assisting Hoover in the Food Adj
ministration stated that it is admitted
in Washington that when the war
broke out the only three departments
of the government was the Navy,
the Treasury and the Department of
Agriculture. We thought that was
some compliment for Agriculture.
Next week we will give some ex-
tracts from this talk by the Dean
which was one of the most interesting
| ever heard.

Western Samoa.

German Samoa or Western Samoa,
as it is called since September, 1914
when British occupation took place.
comprises the islands of Savaii and
Opolu with the town of Apia as the
head of the political and commercial
life. The islands are the remains OF
a semisubmerged volcanic range, heav'
lily clothed with tropical verdure which
to a great extent prohibits agriculture
or farming; hence the principal indus
tries are the planting of coconuts
cacao and rubber.

Right Idea About Business.

The old idea that business is get
ting the better of your neighbor is not
only dad business" but nonsense.
Business is not getting the better of
but doing the best for your neighbor
and yourself. If business is not mu-
tually profitable, it lis mutually de-
structive. My neighbours prosperity
helps mine and mine his. When that
old pernicious notion is finally explod-
ed the millennium of business will be
at hand, the era of universal peace
between capital and labor.-Lord Lev
