PURE BRED SEED FOR VERNON
COUNTY
POULTRY AND MORE POULTRY
This Branch of Vernon COunty's Az
riculture Is Big Business

Probably few people reaiize that the
poultry is one of che most important
but one of the worst neglected branch
es of farm industries. Few people
keep records Of their poultry, ard as
the income is usually rather small
but steady every day, you are liable to
underestimate the total yearly in
come from this source. Your tobacco
and hogs are sold in quantities: and
you see or think you can see large
profits as you keep no records of ex-
pense in their production; but if ac-
count of expense and income were
kept of your poultry, for money in
vested, and labor spent on them. we
believe poultry will compare fayora-
bly, with any other branch of farming
If you will look the poultry of Yer
non county over you will find nine
tenths of it neglected in both housing
and feed, and to make it worse YOU
Will find the same percentage a con-
glomerate mixture of breeds and COL
ors. This ought not to be so for what
is worth doing is worth doing well.
II the raising of poultry was con-
fined to three or four standard breeds
that produced either pure white or
pure brown eggs, the buyers would
De glad to pay l or cents per dozen

fine poultry and eggs but the percent

without spots or blood streaks. We
wonder how many readers of the Cen

IN 1919. OF course Their is no way of

Remember, it just takes so much
feed to keep hens holding their own

FEDERAL LAW SUPERSEDES
STATE LAW
Federal Definition of Intoxicating Ii
Holds Good for State-2.5 Beer
Cannot Be Sold

I That beer containing 2.5 per cent
alcohol cannot be sold in the state OF
Wisconsin and that the federal law
supersedes any state law on the sub
jeet is the opinion of the attorney gen
eral department, to T. T. Hazelberg,
prohibition commissioner, on Monday.
The opinion declares that the defni-
ton of Intoxicating liquors as con-
tanned in the national pr ibition act
supercedes any definition of intoxicat-
ing liquors in Wisconsin act. This
means that onlyliquor containing 5
per cent alcohol can be sold in the
state.
The foregoing Interpretation of the
present liquor laws of this state, given
by the Attorney General. is the high
est authority we have at this time,
and we are officially bound to see that
the law as thus interpreted is enforced.
We are creditably informed that some
merchants and druggists throughout
the county are selling large quantities
of extracts and patent medicines, in
such quantities and under such cir
cumstances that anyone ought to be
convinced that they are to be used
as beverages, and are so used.
The late act of Congress went into
effect on January 16, contains the fol-
lowing exemption from the operation
of the law: "Patented, patent, and
proprietary medicines that are unfit
for use for beverage purposes; toilet,
medicinal and antiseptic preparations
and solutions that are unfit for use
for beverage purpose; flavoring ex-
tracts and sirups that are unfit for use
as a beverage, or for intoxicating bev-
erage purposes; vinegar and preserved
sweet cidar."
This law specifically provides that
to be exempt the liquor must be of
such character that it is unfit for bev-
erage purposes. Vanilla extract, lem
on extract and other favoring ex-
tracts, bay rum, Peruua, beef iron and
wine and many other patent medicines
are being sold and drank for beverage
purposes and the practice must be
stopped or prosecutions will follow
These articles have a legitimate use
and may be sold for the purpose for
which they were intended, but not to
be drank for the purpose of intoxica-
ton. | hope word to the wise will
be sufficient C.. J. SMITH,
District Attorney, Vernon Co.

WITH THE COUNTY AGENT
A SHORT COURSE IN AGRICUL-
TURE GIVEN BY THE COUN-
TY AGENT

Under the directions of the County
Horticulture Committee the county ae-
ricuItural agent win give a six weeks
course in agriculture to boys on the
farm who have not been able TO 90 to
high school.
This course win take up such sub
iects as will benefit the boys in their
future farm work. Nothing will be
taken up that will not be of value.
The facilities at the new county nor
NAL school will accommodate about
twenty-five boys, and we hope that
many can come for the course. If we
do not get twelve applicants, the course
viii not be given. We should get fif-
ty applications for the course SO the
first twenty-five applying will be al
lowed to take the course absolutely
free, so far as tuition is concerned
All that it will cost will be the board
and room for the six weeks and prob
ably a few books.
Here is a chance to get something
free, as next year the agriculture COM
mittee will probably charge tuition.
There are goodly number of boys on
farms at this time of the year that
can get away from home at this time
of the year without hindering the
farm work very much. The idea is
to help boys of those circumstances to
get chance to attend a school that
viii be just what they want ia their
line of work
The course will begin the ninth of
February and last for about six weeks.
This is going to be a trial school this
year, and therefore the free offer has
been made and those first to apply
win get first chance. Be sure and get
your application in early.
CLOVER SEED
The county agent has located about
fifty bushels of clover seed grown in
the county. Any farmer wanting
some will gladly be referred to the
growers by applying to the county
agent, yirOqua, Wisconsin.

ILLINOIS PHYSICIAN
PRESCRIBES TANLAC
SAYS HE HAS NEVER KNOWN A
MEDICINE TO PRODUCE RE-
SUITS LIKE TANLAC

B. III. Elder, M. d. with Offices at
410 Schfadzki Building, Peoria, Hi
nois, comes out with his unqualified
endorsement of Tanlac.
/ DIR. Elder graduated from Butler
University of indianapolis, Ind, later
took a post graduate course at Rush
Medical College, Chicago, and has al
so studied abroad.
i He has been in active practice over
! forty years-twenty-five years in Pc
oria, and is one Of the best known
| physicians Of that city.
So fan as my knowledge goes, said
DIR. Elder, in an interview recently,
medical science has never produced
medicine that brings results like Tan
lac. 1t is altogether toe good to keep
from suffering humanity and | have
been prescribing it in my practice for
some time with remarkable results.
'For years | had suffered from
/ stomach trouble and rheumatism and
/ had devoted my best thought trying
I to find relief, but all TO no avail
Right after eating, gas would form in
my stomach and affect my heart.
causing poor circulation, cold hands
and feet, dizzy spells, spots before my
eyes, peculiar feelings, terrible head
aches, and cramps in my stomach.
The rheumatism was the kind that is
caused by uric acid deposits in the
blood, which find their way into the
joints, and the pain was so great |
could hardly stand to move my legs
and arms.
$50, its no surprise that / devoted
lots of time and thought, using all
my powers, trying to free myself of
these troubles. But nothing / ever
found until got Tanlac afforded me
more than little temporary relief.
And here is how | found out the DOW
ers of Tanlac: / had a patient who

he failed to improve any. Well, this
party came to my Office one day. after
having been away for about six mon
tbs, and i never in all my life saw a
man look in better health or seem to
feel better. While sitting there in nv
Office he told me Tanlac was what
brought about the wonderful change.
could not doubt it, for | knew what
an awful condition he had been in.
and | made up my mind then and there
to try Tanlac in my own case. So
did and the results are that a few
bottles relieved me entirely of stom-
ach trouble and rheumatism and all
my other ailments as well. / am an
extra hearty eater, especially of meats
and such foods as often produce bad
effects, but none of these thincs dis
agree with me any more. So now, as
| have discovered the value of Tanlac
| am ready to honor it as one of the
most beneficial Of all medicines. I
have prescribed it. in cases of rheu-
matism, kidney and bladder disorders
and run down condition, with won
derful results. | feel that | ought, for
the benefit of suffering humanity, to
give my experience with Tanlac to the
general public"

Snow and Wind Threaten to Close
Roads ahd Stop Trains

The problem Of transportation by
rail and road is rapidly becoming
acute as snowfall after snowfall adds
to the heavy blanket of STOW on the
ground and every little wind drifts
the beautiful white. Rural carriers
have been having the time of their
lives the past ten days trying to main
tain service, and only occasionally
make their entire routes. The ridge
roads are in bad condition and rapidly
growing worse. Valley travel is still
very good. Trains both on main lines
and branches are sadly interfered
with, and freight service has degen-
Grated to shadow of its normal self.

OPALS NOW COST ALMOST
AS MUCH AS DIAMONDS
Supply Is Diminishing, and Despite
iii Luck Owen Prices
Go Up.

CHICAGO. May 23.-With the SUI
perstition that opals are unlucky now
pretty well broken down and the
way cleared for one OF the most
beautiful of gems to win the popular
ity IL deserves. fine opals are becom-
ing increasingly scarce as the supply
from the mines Is running seriously
low
The Hungarian mines, once the
worlds chief source of supply. were
shut down by the war. They proba-
bly,. will. not be worked again. for
years and their store OF opaIs after
centuries of production is not large.
Today the best opals come from
Australia. They are called "black
opals," but in fact they are the most
gorgeously colored stones. The yield
of the Australian mines has been
small for several years and it is re-
ported they are nearing exhaustion.
With the supply diminishing. the
prices Of opals have shown re-
markable increase. Opals formerly
were the moderate price. Now their
value, not according to carat but as
single stones, is comparable to that
of diamonds. Opsls Of a size suitable
for stickpins and unset sell for 5000
and 5000 apiece. One brought $4,000
and several others $4,000 and $1,000.

EUROPE NEEDS 80
YEARS TO REBUILD
British Official Sees Little
Chance Of Early Restoration
to Pre-War Stability.

LONDON. Nay 2s.-"It will take
thirty years for Europe TO regain It's
pre-wsr stability and settle all the
various disputes and connicts going
ON 10 Europe todzy as a result OF the
world war" . ~
That was the considered statement
to the International News Service Of
highly plsced Official at the British
ForeisnQHice In close touch with all
European developments today.
As 70 Rvssta he ventured the state
msnt that II would be at least two
years before trading on any worth
while scale could be established with
Russia, presupposing there was to-
day an acceptable allied plan which
could be carried out.
III all the freight cars in all the
European countries - England in
ciuded-were gathered together and
then sent into Russia there scarcely
would be enough transport to meet
Bussia's immediate needs" he stated.
III all the European railway wag-
onyworks started working overtime
today and kept at II for ten years.
then Europe's transportation service
would begin to be satisfactory.
IN Russia, for instance. but six out
OF every 100 locomotives are in condi-
ton to be Of any service; parts have
been removed from the others for re-
pairs. Practically all the locomotives
are burning wood fuel. Similar condi-
lions exist in Poland. Rumania, Ser
bis. Bohemia. Hungary and Austria
and in large areas OF Germany. and
some sections OF Belgium and
France"
This official was pessimistic about
an early termination of the intermit-
tent and prolonged meetinRa of the
allied supreme council.
ut looks like they will be meeting
for years. trying to settle or keep
settled, such things as boundaries
mandates and superimposed interna-
tional decisions.
The situation is quite different
from that of eighteen months ago,
when the allies had huge armies to
carry out their decisions"
