MAY 81 AND PRECEDING
WEEK DEDICATED TO BOYS
SLEEPING OVER THERE

May 81 this year has been official
ly set aside as Poppy Day in Milwau-
kee in remembrance Of the Boys
Over There" This day will be hera
ed by what is known as Poppy week
beginning May "a in Milwaukee.
In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly.
Scarce heard amidst the guns below
We are dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
Lieut.. John ID. McCrae.

MEREDTTH'S SOLUTION FOR
THE FARMERS PROBLEM

Edwin T. Meredith, secretary OF
Agriculture, admits that the farmers
are facing a. much more complex prob
lem than during the past two seasons.
In the World Outlook he proposes this
solution:
Maintain economically efficient
production on such acreage as avail
able capital equipment and labor per-
nit. Speculative plunging in single
crop agriculture, always dangerous, is
peculiarly so at this time.
"The most certain prospect for fair
returns is through well-balanced nor
NAL crop acreage and normal livestock
operation. This tends toward max
imum total production with least eli
matte hazard. 1t also tends to insure
lowest average cost of production
winch, IN the long run, is. IN the best
interest of both producer and con-
sumner, provided distribution is eff
GENTLY and economically accom-.
plished.
Taken by and large it seems that
the American farmers opportunity
for profit is through efficient pro-
duction of the crops and the livestock
products which experience has dem
onstrated he can most successfully
produce. He, knows this. and may
well be trusted to be guided by the
well as in the past"

$4,000 INDIANS
MADE CITIZENS

Twenty seven thousand Indians
have been admitted to full citizenship
since 1913, Cato Sells, United States
Commissioner of Indian Affairs, said
at Washington.
The Indians are making rapid
strides as a race toward high stand
ards of civilization, according to Sells.
Their population now totals about
300 900 including citizens. Most live
on reservations as wards of the gov
eminent, which through the Bureau
of Indian affairs, guides them in man
agement of their property and their
general business affairs. Citizen In
dams, however, have full control OF
their own business.

Kansas has bird population of

tural society of the state. These
feathered allies of farmers, garden
ers and orchardists yearly eat $685.
100000 pounds of insects, an average
of about 100 insects per bird per day.
Government experts tell us that only
a very small proportion of the total
number of bird species found in the
United States actually do more harm
than good. Let us all discourage boys
and alleged sportsmen from destroy
ing any not positively known to be
harmful. To say nothing of their
sweet singing and their blithesome,
inspiring ways, protecting the birds
actually means bread and butter for
US because they destroy countless in
sects which if left unchecked would
do great damage. Farmers should ex
ert themselves particularly to protect
quail because these birds, among the
most efficient destroyers of chinch-
bugs and other pestiferous insects,
are in a fair way to lie exterminated
by ruthless hunters.-Pathfinde

BANQUET
AT REEDsBURG

The Reedsburg High school alumni
association has decided not to hold
an annual banquet this year, as is the
usual custom. On account of the
high cost of food and scarcity of help
none of the church societies or other
organizations wanted to prepare the
banquet so it was necessary for the
officers to postpone for one year.
