konong church last Friday evening was
we'll attended, as it well deserved. The
long program covered wide range Of
musical offerings of old and modern
masters. 1t was pretentious effort,
and the organist, the choir and the solo
lists did honor both to the works rem
dered and to themselves. Frederick p.
Johnson, the Chicago organist, played
a large number of selections in mu-
sicianly manner, his rendition of pot
pourri of Morse folk melodies, said to
have been arranged by the old music
lover and choralwriter, Knute Hender-
son of Cambridge, was especially well
done. The choir of the church under
the direction of Gust Owens sang two
anthems in admirable style. Mrs. M.
H. Teige of Madison, whose maiden
name was Claudine Johnson, daughter
of the late P. N. johnson, Koshkonong
pioneer, has beautiful high soprano
voice and sings exceedingly well. She
rendered two numbers and added ma
terially to the excellence of the pro-
gram. The Rev. Thompson of the Gen.
trail Lutheran church, Stoughton, sang
two solos, one of which was sacred
number composed by Mr.. Johnson, the
organist. Rev. Thompson is splendid
vocalist who never fails to please. The
concert was given as benefit in honor
of Mr. johnson. A number of Edger-
ton people attended.

il was said today that the United States hoped to receive a share because of later participation in the war. and President Wilson is known to have taken an active part in deliberations at Paris on the questions of allocation of the German lines. Virtually the only war claims put forward by the United States involved these cables and were based in part on the forty years contract previously ex- isting between the Postal Telegraph and Cable Company and German cable inter- ests for use of the German transatlantic cables, since diverted by the French and British to their own needs.

 To be a success everything must be planned ahead. Assignments of pupils to certain duties schould be made week ahead. and the privilege of having a share in the preparation or serving of the lunch will be eagerly coveted.

 perseverance. Many of these schools
 have Parent Teacher Associations or
 school improvement associations. and some counties have a home demonstrator

 no community organization to supply the

 health should be sent to the parents.

getting an increased benefit from the large smeunt of unused land throughout the country.
 Hsw the industry has risen and fallen ia indicated by the fact that 50 years ago there were over 2S million sheep in the country whereas there "are today over AS million, bat this doesn't show the peak to which the industry rose inas- much as during the period from F to 20 years ago there were between 61 and 63 million sheeR in the country, since which time there has been a steady decline. In spite of the fact that this country has in- creased greatly in population and there fore is demanding a greater quantity of wool to meet the requirements of the people and a larger amount of meat to supply its needs in that direction, there has been falling off in the number of sheep in the country by from 13 to 14 million in the last two decades and by four million in the past ten years.
 It is manffestiy a move in the wrong direction. We arc losing when we ought to be gaining especially in view of the fact that sheep per head are worth five times what they were half century ago
 This decline isn't however peculiar tc this country. There appears to be sirni lar decreases in other sheep raising countries. and of course great numbers were utilized during the war. But witt demands what they are and the sheer industry going backward the time foi about facing would seem to be at hand.

Women Bolting suffraEe orEanization.

Aroused by the action of the Hartford County Suffrage association, now said to be controlled by democrats, in joining the democratic effort to defeat Senator Frank E. Brandegee, republican women of Hart ford continue the stampede from the as sociation which had it's beginning with the resignations of Treasurer Miss Lillian Cope and Mrs. Harold A. Knowles, first district delegate. Resignations continue to pour in upon Miss Mary K. Eulkeley, president of the association until it began to appear that the organization would be almost stripped of it's republican Enam- bershp.
 Mrs Francis F, Jones, chairman of the third ward republican wonren's com mittee in her letter of resignation, point ed out that republican women who ger sisted in openly working agaH.st Senator Brandegae, merely because he voted against the woman suffrage amendment, are making themselves liable to read cuu of the republican party" Mrs. Jones wrote:

LEAGUE OF NATIONS PRIMER
 George Wharton


 Q. What is the explanation of Can didate Cox's recent stacc1nen. cia [ as unanimity is required in league decisions, it makes no difference whether nation has one vote of 8 thousand.
 A The explanation presumably is that he has been too much occupied in publish the league covenant to find time criticizing the republicans for failing to to read it himself.
 o. How many, votes in the assembly can be cast by the King of the Hedjaz in Arabia? A. One.
 Q. How many by the United States? A. One
 o. How many by Great Britain?
 Six.
 Q. What about our right to withdraw from the league? A. The covenant reserves to ra- tion the right to withdraw on two years notice.
 e. What are the consequences of 1 withdrawal? A The withdrawing nation loses whatever advantages may result from l league membership and remains subject to most of the liabilities. Q. Is the right to withdraw a valuable fright?
 A. About as valuable as the right te l let go the bears tail of you have beer foolish to lay hold of 1t. O. Has the league so far justified its existence?
 A. No. It has stirred up trouble in tht 1 United States and has failed to proven trouble in Europe, l e. Has not the league been of somt l service in postponing a clash between | Sweden and Finland and between Poland and Lithuania?
 A. In these cases the League hal i frankly abandoned all attempt to function as a league and is contenting itself witt offers of mediation.
 Q. Is there room for society of na tions which will promote conference ant | arbitration and set up a standing counci 1 of conciliation?
 A. Undoubtedly It is such socet. that Senator Harding contemplates an' to which the republican party is pledged c. Would it be statesmanlike at thi time for Senator Harding to announce Comprehensive and detailed plan fo l such a society, as he is challenged to d by the democrats?
 A To do so would be to repeat Mi 1 Wilson's monumental folly. The sensi Sle course is the one pursued by Senate Harding namely, to declare in favorr c . society of nations, to state the funda mental principles which must control i and to leave the details to be evolved a real conference. in which real repre- sentatives of the United States will par Hcipate.
 Q. Wha tis the fundamental differenc between the society favored by the re publican party and the league of nation as endorsed by the democratic party?
 A. In the former case the Unite States will merely declare what it's ow course will be under certain eircun

A TELLING BLOW,

Word from Washington to the effect that it is doubted that President Bour- geois of the league of nations council expressed the French view or that he spoke officially may indicate the admin no means knocks out, as intended, the effectiveness of the statement.
 It is solely the disposition of the gov ernment to regard the expression as un- official since it does not appear that it has received any word to that effect while/ the report from abroad concerning the statement made by M. Bourgeois con- ta1ned the declaration that the council president had been asked to verify his Ystatement in view of the bearing it would l have upon the American election and he did so, declaring that he approved it be- ing given out at this time
 It may he that this is not the official French view, but it is unquestionably a view that is held by many leaders, who have been closely connected with the league. It jbes with information which has come through ether sources that | there is a desire to have formed such ar association of nations as Senator Hard. | ing has advocated. and with the report, which have been brought back from Flu rope by Elihu Root after getting in toucl with European statesmen
 The declaration by the president o1 the league council that article ten is no necessary and can Joe wiped out withou tearing the heart out of the league i one of the serious body blows in the | he lao tainly justiies the action which has been taken against that article in the Unite, States senate, where one of the leader in the fight has been our own senator Frank B.
