To light Each waiting freside on

With visions Radiant as heavens

none so sad,
Nor HapDy, but some word of cheer
1t brings
The old Remembrance of old joys
Some vision In the song the angel
sings.
Snow will bring Summer; in some
happier year
Shall come better Time to souls
apart.
Peace. and gbod will. to Mortais

A 'GOOd Roads" Dream.

The car purred over the white road

without effort, in day and a half
Its owner drove-a business man OF

exact in the details of his affairs,

cal in his speculations. AS he drove

Shells Pull Stumps.

''In the forests near ST. Miltiel,
have seen stumps pi;ked out bodily
by the explosion of some shell, and
others cracked very nicely for stump
pullers to work on, writes Lieuten-
ant L. F. Livingston, who, before his
enlistment, was head of the land
clearing Investigations carried on by
the Wisconsin College of Agriculture
cit is to be hoped tnat this is one
method of stump pulling that will
never be used again.
Lieutenant Livingston finds that
the reforstation methods in France
are considerably superior to the land
clearing methods, and that the United
States may have something to teach
in the way of stump pulling. The
use of 'smain strength and awkward
ness in pulling stumps is partly due,
he says, to the necessity for using
every scrap of stump for fuel. In
some districts he found that even the
bushes were trimmed for tireWood.

Fifth Liberty Loan in April.

Washington, D. c., Jan. 12.-Open-
ing of tile fifth Liberty loan cam
paign April 6, the second anniversary
of the declaration of war against
Germany, is under consideration by
treasury officials, but no decision has
been reached. The Third Liberty
loan drive started April6, 1918. the
first anniversary.
It is planned to have the campaign
run for three weeks and to ask for
between five and six billion dollars.
Whether the interest rate will be
higher than the II per cant borne by
the last issues depends partly on the
movement Of the market price of
Liberty bonds during the next two
months. The bonds will be of short
maturity-in the neighborhood of
FIVE years.
Advertising posters for the fifth
loan have been partially chosen and
organizers already are making pre-
lilninary plans for sales campaigns.
Motion pictures and public speakers
will be used extensively.

Hold Your Insurance.

To the soldiers and sailors of Amer
lea.
approximately four million officers
and men of the Army and Navy are
now insured with the United States
Government for grand total of al
most thirty-seven billion dollars.
You owe it to yourself and to your
family to hold on to Uncle Sans In
surance. It is the strongest, safest,
and cheapest life insurance ever writ
ten.
For your protection Uncle Sam has
established the greatest life insurance
company in the world a company as
mighty, asgenerous, and as democratic
as the United States Government it,
self. Just as Uncle Sam protected
you and your loved ones during the
war; so he stands ready to continue
this protection through the days of re-
adjustment and peace.
The privilege of continuing your
Government insurance is a valuable
right given to you as part Of the COM
pensation for your heroic and Triumph
ant services. If you permit the iE-
surance to lapse, you lose that right,
and you will never be able to regain
it But if you keep up your present
insurance by the regular payment Of
premiums you will be able to change
it into standard Government policy
WITHOUT MEDICAL EXAMINA-
TION. Meantime you can keep up
your present insurance at substanti-
ally the same low rate. Tie Govern
ment will write ordinary life insur-
ance, twenty payment life, endow-
ment maturing at age 81, and other
usual forms of insurance. This will
be Government insurance at Govern
ment rates.
The United States Government
through the Bureau of War Risk In
surance of tile Treasury Depart ment-
will safeguard you and your loved
ones with the spirit and purpose of .
Republic grateful TO its gallant de-
tenders. To avail yourself of this pro-
lection, you must keep up your pres
emit insurance. Garry back with you
to civil life, as an aid and an asset,
the continued insurance protection OF
the United States Government.
HOLD ON TO UNCLE SANS IN
SURANCE.

which have come to me and by visits
that have been made to my Office, !"
said the governor.
Undoubtedly some men were not
in sympathy with the cause and more
or less stringent action was taken
against few of them," the governor
continued. "Others were stingy and
otners were tC poor too pay the as
sessments. In some instances as
sessments were made without refer
ence TO ability to pay.
s'In some instances methods were
employed which were unfair, unjust
and unlawful" said the governor

sitions that Dean Fl. L. Russell Of the
Wisconsin College of Agriculture is
advancing for the postwar movement
toward settling the stump lands of the
Badger state.
In an address recently made in Bal
timore, Dean Russell declared for a
state board of regulation which
should supervise the land selling or
CARNATIONS, list farm lands for sale,
adjust differences arising between t.
tier and settler, and act as clearing
house for information about land.
Other services which the state should
perform as matter of general wei
fare are provisions for the detailed
survey of all soils, experiment. and
demonstration farms, county agricul-
tural agents, good roads and good
schools. The other necessary agencies
Of farming communities will develop,
says Dean Russell.
The dean is emphatically in opposi-
tion to the proposed plan of the De-
parbment Of the Interior to aid the
returned soldier only on condition
that he settle in groups. He charact-
terizes such plan as undemocratic
and impoliic. Younger men have
always settled in communities already
occupied by older farmers, says Dean
Russell. and there is no reason to sup
pose that the, young soldier will have
any less courage or initiative than
the civilian.
