WITH THE COUNTY AGENT
The Spirit Of the Soil

Many a man who has never lived on
a farm wonders how a farmer can
stand it to stay on such a lonesome
place away from nearly everybody.
All we can do for man like that is to
pity him. He has not experienced ma
lures wonderful charms, that God has
made so perfect and beautiful. He
has not come in touch with the soil in
which is the life of the earth. He
shows nothing of the spirit of the
Soil" of which Mr.. W.H.Houser speaks
so frequently intalking with audiences
OF farmers.
1t is the Spirit of the Soil that
makes farmer want to keep on farm
ing. He is dealing with Sacred
thing when he cultivates the soil and
sows the necessary seeds to produce
the various crops. He is the backbone
of the nation. There is no nation so
prosperous as the nation that can pro-
duce bountiful supply of agricultural
produts.
The farmers of Vernon County are
the whole support of the county.
There is no manufacturing of any kind
to speak of in this county; and the1e-
fore, every business man, banker,
school teacher and dealer of any kind
should use only the squarest and most
beneficial systems of conducting his
line of business so as to fit in and build
up the agriculture interest of the coun-
ty from which he is gaining his pros
perity and livelihood
1t is because we are a strictly agri-
culture county, that the Spirit of the
Soil should grip all of us and cause us
to boost the agriculture in Vernon
county so it will be second to none in
the state. That should be our "New
Year Motto" and none other as we are
all dependent on the Tiller of the Soil.
Happy New Year Greetings to all.
The Agricultural Short Course
The Agricultural Short Course for
young men and boys viii start Janu-
airy 3rd, 1921. 1t is an opportunity
that should not be overlooked. Boys
in other counties are giving consider
able time to agricultural studies in
various ways, and the progress of the
county is reflected by il. There should
be a goodly number that should enroll
right here near Viroqua. None of us
know too much and there is much to be
learned.
Age does not count, anybody is well
come to take this course. A man sew
enty years old walked into the coun-
ty agents Office last summer and said
he was not too old to learn. That is
the spirit with which we should look
at these things and make ourselves
better fitted for what we wish to do.
The day is past when farmer does
not need to use paper and pencil. We
would all be lot better off if we had
|resorted to a little more paper and
Fpeneil farming a long time ago ago
marks today, but they are not the ones
who are helping to put agriculture on
a more permanent basis.
Come Monday, January 8, no tuition
and very little expense outside of
board and room.

DRY LAWS AND CONGRESS

its rhildt
Unless the various states pass prohibition
laws identical with that which is now on
the statute books at Washington, the federal
government will have to endure further
Gamag" TO its dignity because of seeming
inability 10 finish what it started
The House appropriations committee,
however. hluntly refused to give the DEPART
mrnt Of Justice money for the work of the
dry police. There is growing feeling in
Washington that tn" cumulative effect of
moral sentiment rather than anything that
prohibition agents can do in the way Of sys-
trmutic suppression must be depcndeds son to
make prohibition a reality.
Meanwhile, however, the federal authorl-
tics are in the position Of men suffering
temporary but rather spectacular dpfeat,
The state Of affairs in the enforcement offices
is having n bad moral effect in many quar-.

A CALL FOR RE-ENFoRcEMENTS

TN1IAT it is not mere local fight for de-
i cency that the Mayor has entered upon
was made manifest by the speech which he
delivered in Allentown on Wednesday night.
Neither Philadelphia nor any other city
In the state can be free to take care of its
own affairs and clean house SO long aS the
Legislature is used by the political machines
TO block the plans of those lighting cXplota
ton of the cities for the benefit Of the poll
tcians and the powers of darkness which
find shelter under their wings.
The Mayor is demanding definite and spc
cifc things. Included in them are the con
servation of the financial resources of the
city and the breaking down of the partner
ship which has existed between protected
vice and the political machines He has had
to break with some of the men who sup
ported him because they have demanded that
he wink at protected vice. Some of those
whose support he once had have had to break
with him because they werc more anxious
to protect the useless jobs of some of their
followers than to save the money of the
taxpayers
The position of neither Of these groups is
defensible Not u member of it dare come
into the open and publicly urge the protcc-
ton Of vice or the protection of sinecuristS
at public expense They have to fight in
secret and plot in the dark.
The position Of the Mayor is unassailable.
He is so absolutely right that he can Cour-
ageously challenge his enemies to do their
worst. confident that h" will have the sup
port of the public sentiment of the whole
state.
Mr.. Moore reminded the women in Allen
town of their power just as he has reminded
the Philadelphia women of the influence they
can exert not only here, but in Harrisburg.

free dispensaries and the very Hich at the
specialists Offices
1t is bit strange to find the very rich
and the very poor grouped together in this
fashion. 1t is true that services of the
ablcst doctors are always available to the
patients in dspensarics. and this fact re-
fleets infinite credit on the system of medical
ethics that grew up with the magnificent de.
vclopment of medicine in the schools and
hospitals here. II is said of one of the most
gifted surgeons in Philadelphia that If he
has to treat rich patient and poor one
on the same day. he will invariably treat the
poor patient first. He is Of the sort who
keep really great traditions alive.

have been in abcyance. The Irish, it must
be confessed, have not facilitated settlement
of the intricate case. Apportionment OF
clean cut praise or blame to either side Is
almost out of the question at this date. 1t
may be definitely stated. however, that
Anglo Irish relations are u stain upon the
years record
Radical propagandists were thrilled by
Russia in 1920. Mr.. Wells was exceedingly
puzzled, Bertrand Russell was deeply
griCvrd. The outside world in general
waited. It was proved that reactionary
military adventures, seeking to reconquer
the vast empire, were doomed, as witness
within n single twelvpmonth the fates Of
Kolchak. Denikine and Wrangel.
On the other hand, aggressive western
campaigning by the Soviet armies was
demonstrated to be disastrous. The pending
peace negotiations between Russia and Po-
land are conducted by two nations which
both furiously overshot their marks. Po-
lands cxtravagant military adventure sick
encd a war weary world.
The actual progress made in the. execu-
ton of the peace treaty and the organiza-
tion of the League of Nations was by no
means inconSiderable. Following the fiasco
of the kapp revolt last January, the Ebert
government regained strength, which has
been serviceabIo to the Allies in their plans
tn carry out the provisions of the Versailles
pact. Practical decisions on many vexed
subjects were reached in the conferences of
San Reno and Spa.
The league council led an itnerant ex-
istence for several months. These meetings.
however, were mere preludcs to the major
league business of the year. which concerned
the sessions of both the council and the
assembly in the official headquarters of the
international society in Geneva Outlines
of the greatly to be desired world court, in
which Elihu Root had an influential hand,
were approved. The mandatory system was
crystallized Hapless. pitiable Austria and
dlsilusioned Bulgaria were admitted to
membership in the league. Argentina played
the baby and withdrew her delegation.
That some progress toward the organiza-
tion of world peace was made is incon-
testable. despite the ructions and crises con-
tingent upon the assemblage of all conven-
tions or legislative bodies.
Formidable Near East problems were
touched upon charity. The most specific
accomplishment was perhaps the acceptance
by President Wilson, now happily improved
in health. of the post of arbitrator in the
Armenian muddle.
The year ends with the note of disarmn-
m"nt stressed in many lands Continued
emphasis upon it may cause revision of judg-
mcnt upon the period starting revival of a
certain antidote for war.
Perhaps 1920 may come to wear a coat
OF gold -lcaf"d idealzation. after all.
