INDIVIDUAL POWER.

When president of the Carnegie Steel Com
panv, Charles M Schwab said 1--WE do every
thing in our power to make men realize their
This simple statement gives an IN
sight into the power of this man, one of the most
forceful that this country has ever produced.
MIR. Schwab knew that unless man has some
sense of his Importance he cannot make good.
If a man feels that he is but cog in a machine,
that he has no need initiative in his work, no
reason to increase his capacities, no incentive to
add to his mental or physical powers, he is very
apt to remain cog
But take any man and impress upon him that
he is not mere,cog, but that upon him depends,
individually, and watch that man respond. II
there is anything in him, it is bound to rise to
the surface if he feels that he is of Importance to
the business in which he is engaged, the COM
munity in which he makes his nome, the state
which gave him birth or the nation which gives
him it's protection.
1t is this very idea that Schwab tried to in
cu1cate that makes the soldier more than the
machine Is the soldier taught to look upon
himself as a cog? Not at all. He is taught inn
plicit obedience, he is taught to follow orders, he
is taught to carry out certain directions, BUT he
is always impressed with the fact that upon his
courage, upon his sacrifice, upon HIS IMPORT
ANCE, the fate of the battle depends.
If his officers do not instil this in him, he can
not miss it. For from time immortal the soldier
has been looked upon of the utmost import
ance, he has had it borne in upon him that upon
his bravery, upon his valor, upon him defeat or
victory depend.
This is the kind of Importance with which we
all need to be impressed. Unless we realize our
individual Importance to the business with which
we are connected, the town in which we live, the
nation to which we belong, we shall never
amount to anything. But as we are i'm
pressed with the fact that we are of some inn
portance, just so soon will we try to become of
more Importance.
Self-importance and Importance to ones work
are two different things. But it is even better
to be self-important than of no Importance at all.
Let us remember that

RAILROAD POLICIES.

One thing may be taken for granted in the
selection of Walker D. Hines as the successor of
Mr.. McAdoo as Director General of the Railroad:
that is, that the policies of the latter will be
tinued.
Almost from the very start Mr.. Hines has been
the chief adviser to the Railroad Administration
and as such, undoubtedly he was responsible for
many of the things done with regard to railroad
management under the concentrated control of
the carriers. In other words, the future general
policy as to railroad management whilst Govern
ment control continues will be the same in
the past for the reason that the past policy was
largely, if not altogether, Mr.. Hines.
According to The Business Digest, to that ex-
tent, therefore, there will be no change in the
outlook for railroad securities. At least, it is not
reasonable to anticipate change. Mr. Hines
believes that Government control of the railroads
| should be extended for period of five years. He
likewise believes, at least so it is gathered from
his strong support of the McAdoo fve-year plan,
| that the alternative to such extension of time,
is the immediate return of the railroads to pri-
vate management, under possibly stricter regu-
lation.
| But few weeks time remains to the day of
adjournment of the present Congress-, time
that is obviously too short to enact remedial leg
islation. This may mean the calling of an extra
session. The majority that will be in the saddle
after March 4, next, is unitedly opposed to an i'm
mediate return of the railroads to the old con-
ditlons and generally opposed to an extension
of the Governments control beyond the existing
stipulation.
The argument that is being brought to bear is
that nthat period of time will not suffice to enact
definite legislative measures of relief certainly
the asked-for fve-year extension would not suf-
fee.

The improvement of the rurel school is adj
mittedly the greatest present educational need.
For several years the Commissioner of Educa-
ton and considerable proportion of the Blu
reau's force have devoted more energy and at
tention to propaganda bearing on rural school
betterment than to any single task. One of the
agencies employed by the Bureau in this work
has been series of conferences held in various
sections OF the country during the past five years.
The first meeting was held at Chicago in 1914,

FRIDAY, JANUARY, 81, 1919.
ARE YOU AN AMERICAN?

Is this, or is this not, free country? Shall
we, or shall we not, allow foreign population
to dictate to the free people of this land? Will
we, or will we not, lend ourselves to the insid-
ious movement to produce state of anarchy in
the United States?
A few days ago in Philadelphia the homes of
several prominent philadephians were bombed
by anarchists. These Philadephians had in some
way incurred the displeasure of the foreign-born.
few days ago stickers, signed American An
archists, were pasted trolley cars, poles and
buildings during the night, berating the United
States government, and threatening to dynamite
damage by dynamite. These appeared not only
in the principal cities but throughout Massa-
chusetts and Connecticut according to press dis
patches.
These indications of menace They are the
sign OF trouble that is brewing. Will the Amer
lean people lend themselves to the promotion of
this trouble will they lend their every effort
to stamping out the enemy that would make this
country a hot bed of rebellion against law and
order?
It is up to the American people. There is
enough good red American blood in this country,
and there are enough law-abiding citizens to put
an end 10 this sort of thing, if they will do it.
But will they? That is the question.
Every who has a traitorous thought
against this government, every man who voices
criticism about conditions of which he knows
nothing, or upholds others who do So is particeps
criminis with the anarchists whether he in
tends so to be, or not.
The war is over, but the atmosphere has
not yet been dispelled And in this atmosphere
the enemies of truth and right and justice hope
20 hatch out the vulture that will gnaw at the
y1tals of democratic government and despoil it.
And every time say careless word or COM
nit careless action, which will give the least
encouragement to the enemy are traitors to
our country and are giving ourselves to the very
work which the anarchists are trying to promote.
The place to voice dissatisfaction with the gov
eminent is to your representatives in Congress.
But before you voice it, be sure that you know
what you are talking about.
Be that you are not voicing the senti-
ments of someone else, and that that someone
else is not using you to promote his party or his
nation.
There is no such things az American Anarchy
Anarchy born under monarchial govern
ments, and does not belong in this free country
Watch your step, and be sure that you do not
give encouragement to these American Anarch-
lists, by word or deed. They are bred of intrigue
and craftiness and their wages are paid in blood

More than 35 different kinds of Florida prod
ucts have been sold in CARROTS through the State
Marketing Bureau and counting all shipments
in CARROTS or less, the Bureau has gotten markets
for as many as sc different products. The total
amount of business that has been done by the
Bureau since its creation July 1, 1917, amounts
to millions of dollars. The appropriation, which
is small compared with the sum appropriated by
some states for Barketing Bureaus, is paid out
of finds derived from the sale of fertilizer stamps,
in the same manner other state expenses are
paid. The appropriation amounts to about Fl
cents per farm, and if all the people in the state
paid it, it would cost them and one-half cents
each. It benefits Indirectly the whole State but
it benefits directly all that will buy sell through
it or avail themselves of the information that is
always free and cheerfully given. When de-
veloped to its highest efficiency, it will mean a
saving of millions of dollars annually It will
shorten the distance between producer and con-
sumner and help save the waste.

THOUSAND MORE ACRES
OF CORN IN COUNTY
THIS. YEAR

Approximately one thousand more
acres of corn are under cultivation in
Marathon county this year than in
1918. In 1918 the total harvested
acreage was 1877, while in 1919 this
county has planted to corn 1890
acres. According to preliminary es-
Inmates of the cooperative crop re-
porting service, maintained by the U.
S. department of agriculture and the
Wisconsin department of agriculture,
S,720 acres in Marathon county are
planted to potatoes as compared to
harvest acreage of 8,S16 acres. For
the corn the county is reported as
normal, while potatoes stand at SO per
cent of normal.
The 1919 corn crop IN Wisconsin
will set new record for the produc
ton of that crop according to the
July report of Joseph A. Becker, of
the service. Based on July condi-
tions the crop will total 75,676,000
bushels, compared with 69,53S, 900
bushels in 1918, and five year aver
age of 56,110.000 bushels. An in
crease of eight per cent over 1918 in
the total acreage is also recorded.
The Wisconsin acreage has increased
this year while reports from the U.
S. department of agriculture indicate
that throughout the country the acre
age under cultivation now is only
95.S per cent of last year.

MARATHON COUNTY FARM
ERS' DAY AT MARSH
FIELD ON JULY 23RD

A Marathon County Farmers day
has been set side at the Marshfield
branch experiment station, for We'd
nesday. July 23rd. F. G. Swoboda de-
clares that no less than 500 farmers
of this county should take advantage
Of this opportunity, and should take
their families. From the standpoint
of learning, by seeing, this trip would
justify any farmer taking the day off,
he says.
In regard to the Marshfield trip the
county agent says: Farmers living
about Wausau should make a special
effort to make the delegation from
this community the banner one for
the county. The state of Wisconsin
each year spends hundreds of thous-
ands of dollars to'maintain the expert
mental farms at Marshfield for the
sole purpose of studying crops and
soil management under just such con-
ditions as obtain on the Marathon
county farms. While the results of
these experiments are written up
from time to time, in farm papers and
in bulletins, farmers can learn more
from them by seeing them personally,
than by reading.
I'm addition to inspection of the
plots there will be talks by Assistant
Dean Morrison and Professors Dell
wiche and Musbach of the Universe
ty OF Wisconsin. Dean Morrison will
discuss hog feeding problems. Prof.
Delwiche will talk ON crops and Prof.
Musbach will discuss soils. A special
program is being planned for the
women folk, Miss Still of the Uni
versity Extension will have charge
of this section. Special provision will
probably also be made to entertain
the children.
"All of the bankers and town chair
men of the county are lending their
active cooperation toward working
up delegations from their respective
communities. Each family is request
ed to bring its own lunch basket.
Liquid refreshments will be served
free of charge.
"The morning program at Marsh
field starts about 10:30 a. m. That
means that most delegations will have
to leave for that city by 8 O'clock"

MERCHANTS WANT UNI
FORM HOURS TO OPEN
AND CLOSE STORES

Primarily to discuss the new mini
mum wage bill, passed by the assem-
bly, and senate of Wisconsin and
which becomes a law in August, about
fifty retailers of the city met at the
city hall Friday evening. In addition
a keen discussion was held regarding
the bill, not yet become a law, in
h it is declared that women shall
not work over eight hours in any one
day or forty-eight hours in a week.
To meet this requirement merchants
were casting about for solution to
the problem of opening and closing
their places of business without a dis
continuance of Saturday evening.
Many suggestions were made,
among them that stores open late in
the forenoon and that a longer dinner
hour be granted the girls. 1t was also
stated on the floor that Saturday night
opening is not necessary. Shopping
will be done on other days of the week
providing the people are advised of
the fact that stores will not be open
Saturday evening. No conclusion
could be reached and the matter was
laid over until tomorrow, July 18th,
when another meeting will be held.
