A SPLENDID ENDORSEMENT

The members of the county board
Of supervisors have given County
Clerk F. A. Cooper a splendid endorse
ment, fine appreciation of the ex-
cellent services the official has rend--
cred during his term of office. The
work in the office has been very great
and this has been done with marked
care and promptness. This is greatly
appreciated, not only by the public,
but by the county board of supervis-
,ors. With his wide experience the vo--
tiers should retain Mr.. Cooper for
another term. Having filled the office
with ability he is now we'll armed TO
do so again, and this the members of
the board fully realized when they
placed their names to the warm ex-
preston given Mr.. Cooper. No doubt
he will be given large vote on primary
day.

CONGRESSMAN ESCH APPRE-
GATED

Congressman John J. Esch was first
elected to congress in the fall OF
1898 and has been reelected in each
succeeding campaign since that time.
With the completion of his present
term he will have represented this
section of Wisconsin twenty-five
years at Washington, long term of
service. In the more than two decades
there has been some important legis-
lation and Congressman Esch has
stood for progressives measures.
That he has ably represented his
district Is evinced in the loyal sup
port given him during his extended
term of service. This country at the
present time needs wise legislation,
men of experience to conduct the af-
fairs at Washington, and for that rea-
son he should be returned for another
term. AS in the past, no doubt the
congressman will receive large vote
on primary day and be elected when
the ballots are counted in November.

A gloomy view is taken by r. L.
WEIGH, secretary of the American
petroleum institute in recent mem
Orandum addressed to the society OF
automobile engineers. In his opinion
the supply of fuel is so limited that
the horsepower of heavy cars should
be cut down, and light cars should be
so engined as to get moderate speed
from very much less gasoline than is
now used. Save fuel or go afoot
seems to be the gist of his message

When DR.. and Mrs. G. L. Tuerer

their recent trip they found new
town. After the fire passed over that
section of Minnesota the residents of
the place decided to construct on mod

and the whole is pleasant to see. Even
the station burned in the fire, some

is the name of a town in the oil fields


On q certain tract at Desdemona
the article quoted above says, is a.
little country bulying ground. The
Wagner gusher came in and threw a
spray of oil over the graves OF the
pioneer buried there. Then came the
Beaver Valley well and it added a
second spray. But there are to be no
more oil wells in close proximity to
the little graveyard, for Grandma
Terry has set her foot down and she
refuses to lease any more acreage
close to the grassy mound where
sleeps the body of her pioneer hus-
band. Grandma Terry and her chill
dren are preparing to move to Step
henville. They have millions. The

them extremely rich"

proprietors of The News had a long

You Nav Now Do Business With Russians

If trade is actually resumed with

societies in the soviet nation. These
societies. which have membership or

medium for the resumption of trade
between the United States and the
territory controlled vby the Moscow
government.
Whether the soviet authorities are
willing to have the co-operatives car
ry on trade with the United States
and other nations which have not ex-
tended any form of political recogni-
ton to the Lenln and TrotZky regime
remains to be disclosed.
SO far as the United States Is con-
cerned. all restrictions on trade have
been lifted except as TO articles sus-
ceptible of immediate use for war pur-
poses. If Americans have anything
they desire to ship to Russia, they are
free TO do so with this one limitation.
while Russians may ship out anything
Americans will take.
The Russian cooperative societies
stand as the only commercial and In
dustrial machinery left intact amid
general economic disorganization and
chaos.

And he could go on fishing trips and
never miss the coin he'd lose.
But that was In the days before his
wife wore fifteen-dollar shoes.
Time was the evening brought reDose
unto the weary soul of man.

untroublrd till the next began.
And he could play an hour or two the
books he loved he could peruse;
Rut tInt was In tn" duys before his
wife were fifteen-dullar shoes.
Grent riches were nor needed then, in
those glad days oi long ago;
A man could find contentmcnt then
with what was given him to know
And there were joys on every hand
from which his soul conld pick and
choose;
But that was in tine iays before his
wife wore fifteendollar shoes.
Thee Is no resi- for man today. he's
forced TO serve the gods of gold;
He dare not linger by the way, as once
he did in times of old.
He must forego his fishing trip and
shun ail things that may amuse

Soldiers Bonus Legislation in Congress

ALI. chance Of the passage of SOL
"A diers' bonus legislation next win
ter seems to have gone glimmerng.
Failure of the party platforms to de-
clare for the proposition seems TO
have destroyed all hopes of favorable
action by congress.
Supporters of the bonus bill had
relied implicitly on the political con-
ventions taking a stand on the sub
Ject. They had gone on the theory
that political pressure from the eX-
service men would be so strong that
both parties would be sure to declare
for some form of adjusted compensa-
tion.
The soldiers bonus bill as passed by
the house q week before the recent ad-
Iournment is pending in the senate
committee on finance. The committee
has given the bill no consideration and
nav prefer TO allow 1t to slumber
without action during the coming ses-
sion. Officers of the American Legion
however are certain to agitate and
probably will force the committee to
report the bill to the floor of the SEN
ate.
Even in case the bill in some mirac-
ulous manner should get through the
senate and a conference report is ap-
proved by both houses Its veto by
President Wilson Is considered GER
tain. The administrations view or the
proposal has been made clear through
a letter sent by Secretary OF the
