WHILE AWAITING DISSOLU-
TON

We look for no great excitement
over the assertion of the United
States geological survey that at the
present rate of erosion the United
States will be washed into the oceans
in about one million years We do
not expect to see the citizenry TAX
ing to the high ground for some years
to come But there is a point in the
surveys findings which really should
give pause for thought.
An average of ninety-fve tons of
soil from each square mile of terri
tory in the country is carried out to
sea by the rivers each year. That is
a point worth celebrating.
In farming areas with NATURAL sur
face drainage this means very ap-
preciable removal of true soil. In
some sections it is already reducing
fertility to a marked extent. 1t may
even produce a condition wehre the
best of fertilizers cannot restore
original productivity On the whole
it is definite economic loss to- the
nation, which can be considered in re
lation to this year and this decade
rather than in relation to our com
plete dissolution 100000 years
hence.
There is one way in which it can
be reduced to a minimum. That is
by forestation Thus we may guard
against worse famines than China's-
Chicago Tribune.

Reply TO the City Fathers

An article appeared in both local
papers Friday, signed by one Lee
Jeffries and G.. III, Goette, two Of the
"City Fathers" which article is a
miserable attempt to justify the con-
duct of the present city administra-
ton in their toeal lack of observance
of the burial services OF two OF our
soldier boys. The article reminded
me of the old saying that "a hit pup
always yeIps." This attempt at
justification for the lack of action on
the part of the city government was
such a complete failure, that were it
not for the fact that the whole pur-
pose of the article seems to be mat
ter Of spite against Mr.. Bentley, it
would not merit any attention. MIR.
Bentley had very good reason for
being wherever he was, or whatever
he was doing on Saturday and Sunday
last, and if any of his friends desire
to know why, such information will be
gladly given them.
If i'll becomes these two "City Faith
ers' to attempt to cast any reflection
or asperity upon Mr.. Bentley's alb
sence from these services, when for
two years during the war he devoted
his entire services at the sacrifice of
his professional business, and Of his
physical strength and health, to give
aid and comfort to- the boys who were
fighting cover There" If these two

part of the loyalty and patriotism ex-
pressed by the conduct of Mr. Bent
ley, they might be in a position to
criticise, but I do not think the citi-
zens of Baraboo will accept with very
good grace this attempted defamation.
Furthermore the Offices of Bentley
& Meier were, in common with most
of the other law offices, closed all of
Saturday afternoon, at which time
the services were held and always
will be closed no matter what the day
or hour may be, for the services Of any
of these boys whose bodies are re-
turned here for burial
The whole article is an attempt to
blind our people to the real serious
question, namely, the lack of any Off
cial action on the part of the city it
self to pay any fitting tribute to, or
acknowledgment of the sacrifice,
these boys made, by diverting atten-
ton to some personal feeling of NAL
ignity and spleen.
| However, it is quite apparent that
the purpose of Mr.. Bentley's article
has been accomplished, because Sun
day there was more proper observ-
ance on the part of the city govern
ment at the funeral of Gilmore E.
Schram, and if for no other reason,
the article was we'll worth while.
