FARM BUREAU FEDERATION

During the past four months, Au-
gust, September, October and Noyem-
Der, some of the results of Farm Bu-
reau activity in Wisconsin are:
Securing the call for a national con-
ference on the cooperative marketing
of dairy products.
Secured the endorsement of the
Great Lakes and St.Lawrence Deep
Waterway" project by twelve mid
west states.
Promoting the work of the Wiscon-
sin Cheese Producers Federation with
view of spreading its activity over
the entire state, so that Wisconsin
cheese may be marketed to the benefit
of Wisconsin farmers. The producers
of Swiss" "briek" and other foreign
makes of cheese in this state are now
organizing and the Farm Bureau will
give the same service TO his group be-
cause they are also working for the
welfare of Wisconsin dairymen.
Encouraging tn e establishment of
Cooperative Live Stock Shipping AS
sociatlons, and hope to see one at ev-
cry shipping point in the state, and
these later federated into county state,
and district or national associations
with cooperative sales agencies at the
terminal markets.
Promoting the organization of local
elevators and warehouses for the pur-
pose of selling and buying farm pro
ducts and farm supplies. with the fur
Their idea of also federating these in
to county and state association.
Called meeting at Madison which
resulted IN the organization of the
Wisconsin Canning Crop Growers AS
sociation.
Have taken steps to bring the grow
ers of sugar beets, cabbage and other
vegetables, together for the purpose
of protecting their own interests
A legislative committee appointed
by the Wisconsin Farm Bureau Fed
GRAFTON is on the job to encourage leg
islation that will be to interest of the
farmers and to secure the defeat of
unjust legislation.
Organization work is now going on
in ten counties and other counties are
steadily falling into line. Warlworth
county started December z with seven
solicitors. Kenosha county begins on
December ii with the same number.
Winnebago county will be ready about
December 20. Lacrosse county has
asked for some extra men.
BY the first of the year there will be
at least fifty Farm Bureau solicitors
working and every indication shows
that when the Farm Bureau in Wis
consin is one year old there will be
more than $4,000 members.

Christmas Near

a JOvIAL Christmas was that

p his last expedition to the
arctic, from which he return

and dogs and by way Of Etah and
Cape Sheridan made her way to
Grant Land, where she had to halt in
the fee locked waters of the Arctic
ocean, only COO miles from the pole,
when Christmas day came. The story
OF the party's celebration of this Christ
mas, one Of the "farthest north" ever
enjoyed by white men, was told inter
estingly by the explorer when he re-
turned to the United States.

White House. 1t was just
fourscore years on March since Mrs.
Washington was executive mistress"
During their eight years in the White
House the Grants were counted an I'M
usually happy home circle.
All their holidays were marked with
simplest pleasures and unselfsh char
tiles. Mrs. Grant was very systematic
In her charities. She made lists and
distributed Christmas gifts with wis
dom and good sense. There was no
end of calls upon them soon after the
war, and none went away empty.
In 1870 President Grants father
spent Christmas at the White House.
The sons came home from college. and
Nellie and her friends made the old
house ring with good times Mrs Ere
mont gave them a dancing reception.
and the sewing club Of which Nellie
was the president had wonderful
Christmas entertainment, furnished
mostly from the White House.
General Grant, like General Sher-
man, had lveat love for children and
their pleasures. One Christmas the
matinee was "The adventures and
misadventuie Of Clown and Panta-
loon In the wonderful pantomime OF
Jack and the Beanstalk,'" and the
White House children wera determined
to go.
''Now, father, please" urged Nellie
Grant, and Yes. father, you promised

said, "We'n go. all Of us, and take the
whole tribe"
And they did--uneles and cousins,

banquet was afterward served in the

Domestic Science in County Train
ing School a Practical Course

The Domestic Science Department
of the Vernon County Training school
began serving hot, MONDAY lunches
November Both to pupils of the Model
school and to- students in the Training
school.
This work will be carried on as a
regular project by the department I'M
til April LIST for the convenience of the
pupils and for the practical experience
gained by those who do the work.
TIE lunches are being served cafe
terra style and are furnished at act
ual cost, labor not included. Thus far
the records show that the average cost
per meal is between IL and 15c. Men
us for the daily lunches cater TO some
extent to the topics being studied by
the class at the particular time. For
instance, one day last week the MAX
in gof custards was being considered
and for this reason banana custard
was served that day as a desert. The
remainder Of the menu for the same
meal consisted of rice and tomato soup,
mashed potatoes, cheese sandwiches,
milk, cocoa and fruit.
An average of II TO Is pupils daily
have availed themselves of the oppor-
tunity of eating warm lunches at
school A majority Of these people do
light housekeeping and would other
wise have to prepare and eat their din
ners in hasty fashion during the noon
intermission, a practice which is Meth
er conducive to health nor to effective
school work
The Domestic Science Department of
the school is in charge of Miss Eliza
beth Burns, WHO is graduate of the
Home Economics Course of the Stew
ems Point State Normal school. For
the past two years Miss Burns has
been connected with the famous Gary
school system in Indiana where she
managed a school cate ,-.ia which serv-
ed from so to 100 pupils and teachers

THE DANGER POINT IS PASSED

Governor Harding of the Federal Re-
serve Board says Peak Has Passed
Money VIII Continue Easier
High credit for Manner in Which
Federal Board has Handled Situa-
tion-Future Prospects.
"The danger point in American fl
nance has been passed and conditions
now point to a sound banking readjust-
ment in the opinion of w. P. G. Hard
ing, Governor fthe Federal Reserve
Board. Talking yesterday to Alfred
Reeves, General Manager of the N. A.
c. C. and others, Mr.. Harding said
that as the result of the movement I'M
dertaken last May, credit imitation has
been checked and an orderly recession
brought about, which, as a rest cure
for business, was unpleasant in many
of its details, but which has none-the-
less saved the country from disaster
such as that which has befallen Japan,
where 70 banks have failed.
"The fact that New York banks are
now in the market for long term loans
was cited as straw which points to
easier money conditions, a statement
which the official said is further borne
out by the fact that New York, Chi

questioned about the attitude of
the Board to essential credits with spe-

induetry, he reiterated his belief in the
soundness of the position taken by the
Board in May, whenmember banks
were specifically advised that the
Board could not define any one COM
modify as essential as against any
other, and, he emphasized statements
made before, that, Notwithstanding all
reports to the contrary, at no time has
the Board advised banks to diserimin-
ate in any way. He does not feel that
any of the District Federal Reserve
Banks viii make any more statements
that we might consider unfair to the
automobile industry.
with reference to the foreign sit
uation the Governor quoted from the
president-elect that we should have
more business in government and less
government in business to drive home
the point that such platform entail
ed an obligation to business to carry
on for itself and not to depend too
much on government. | n this con-
nection he voiced the opinion that the
War Finance Corporation would not be
rejuvenated
"The Governor disclaimed any effort
on part of the Board to arrive at any
fixed value for the dollar. With re-
gard to labor costs he said labor could
not be expected to take the first cut
but that labor as well as capital must
expect to see diminished returns but
heightened value for those returns as
defiation continues"

JUST A DREAM

A reporter dreamed one night that
the editor for once in his career de
cided to get out paper that was en-
tirely satisfactory. Every item that
was brought in was carried to differ
ent houses and if objections were rails
ed the item was thrown out. At 4
O'Clock the paper went to press as US
ual and when the patrons unfolded it
that evening they found nothing but
a blank sheet. The editor slept sweet
ly that night, realizing that he had
printed nothing to offend anybody, and
that his paper was entirely satisfac-
tory.
