Free Soil Tests at the Mineral
Point Fair.

In connection with the Mineral
Point Fair the County Agricultural
Agent will have an exhibit of alfalfa
and incidently pile of ground
limestone, for where there is alfalfa
there is bound to be lime. The two
are inseparable.
More farmers than ever are plan
ming to seed from five to ten acres
of alfalfa next spring, some using
lime and others not. Whether one
used lime or not, one important
operation should not be overlooked
that is, knowing how sweet or how
sour the soil is. The farmer who
has failed with alfalfa will tell you
to save your seed. Sowing alfalfa
on land that should have at least
four tons of lime per acre is throw
ing seed away. Have your soil tested
and do it now so that you may plan
agent will make such soil tests free
of charge providing soil samples are
brought in 1t will be an easy mat
ter for anyone interested to take a
handful of soil from the field or
fields to be seeded, put your name
address, and name of field on the
package, and place it in the box
which will be found near the alfalfa
lime exhibit in the educational de-
partment of the exhibit building
Samples of soil may also be left
with Myron Schumann, Dodgeville
cow tester, who will be in charge of
the COW testing exhibit in the cattle
pavilion.
For the convenience of the town
of Brigham farmers arrangements
have been made with Mr.. Chisto-
pherson, manager of the Lumber Co.
Barneveld, whereby samples of soil
brought in to him at any time will
be cared for and turned over to the
county agricultural agent at regular
intervals. Samples of lime rock left
in his office will also be tested for
per cent of lime. To sample soil
take about u cup full, place in pa
per bag with your name, address and
name of field written on each bag.

Wisconsin Is Building.

Wisconsin is building
What-barns, houses, skyscrappers?
No,-building schools. First things
hrst in Wisconsin. The long delayed
school buildings are under way.
Green county is building three
new country schools. Marinette
county will open eleven new rural
schools this fall. One of them es-
pecially reports the engagement of
a "better qualified teacher" La
Crosse county districts appropriated
$4,000 for new schools this year.
Are the city schools asleep? Not
a bit. Beloit. Beaver Dam, Eau
Claire, Horican, Holman, GAINESVILLE,
Kenosha, La Crosse, Menasha, Madi-
son, Merrill. Milwaukee, Mayville,
Sturgeon Bay, Two Rivers, West
Allis, Wausau, and Wauwatosa ap-
propriated all the way from $4,000
to 100000 for new school build
ings this year.
Some states may be willing to sac
rifice their children's education or let
the rising generation pay for the war
out of it's school opportunities, but
Wisconsin citizens are broad enough
to see that our ability to produce
wealth, both physical and spiritual
depends on education, and we will
not economic on necessities so long
as we are still able to pay enormous
luxury taxes.

The conventions demand for "a

the need of Wisconsin as the means

the country children in school.

A WRONG HYPOTHESIS

The Charleston News and Courier
says that Mr.. Harvey paid his country
men poor compliment when he said
that they went to war simply to save
their own skins. He pays them an
other poor compliment when he de-
clares that no matter how desirably
an observation-disclosures alliance
might be, the American people will
never consent to such thing.
The News and Courier says that
is not a fattering estimate of our
intelligence as nation. It amounts
to telling us that we are lot of stupid
and hide bound provincials so EN-
shaved by prejudice as to be proof
against reason and common sense.
In reply the estimable Times Union
says that it is not probable that the
News and Courier. will insist that the
United States was drawn into the war
for the ACKNOWLEDGEMENT Of the presi-
dent and rejecting this hypothesis
nothing remains but the reason given
by Col. Harveya defense of Ameri-
can rights.
OF course any such hypothesis as
named by the Times Union is silly
and the reason given by Mr.. Harvey
that we ''entered the war to save our
skins is far from saying that we
entered it in defense Of American
rights
We think the Times Union would
| feel more comfortable and would Ger.
tainly be more appreciated If it would
put itself in harmony with the senti
ments Of the great majority Of its
readers. Don't try to make amends
for Mr.. Harvey-he is SO underserv'
ing.

war up to the point where our clam,
might put us in a position where \,
should have to support them with on

material desires. This is a typlal
Lodge viewpoint and it is exprsssed
in typical way.

human lives, of averting other NIL

PROHIBITION!


A great many believe that those OF
US who have reached the "seer and
yellow leaf" who have grown up
under the old regime of .'sideboard
and decanter,s and the more motor.
ious "open saloon would be bene-
fitted by stimuIant taken in moder-
alton.
In the language of good st. Paul,
"a little" would not only s'be good
for the stomach's sake" but would
energize the whole physical system;
would relax the stiffen muscles and
put pep and ginger in ones feelings.
But those of us who have grown
old under the old system will soon
pass away and those who are to take
our places are the ones to be safe
guarded.
Many of the. boys and girls now
growing up know nothing of the old
fashioned decanter which graced the
sideboard of nearly every home; they
know very little of the open saloon, |"
or if they do, in a little while all will
be forgotten, and not having imbibed
the drink habit" the prohibition of
WHISTLES, wines and beer, will be no
deprivation to them; so in time we
shall have sober men and women
along all the walks of life, which
surely ought OF make for the better
ment of the nation
Is there father or mother in the
land who would want to put the temp
tation of the open saloon" or the
.'sideboard and decanter,' in the path
way of their own children?
The majority Of fathers who have
passed along those highways and
know their temptations; have seen
the havoc they caused in so many

nor the state of Alabama were not
required to put up dollar for dollar.
If that sum has been appropriated
for the harbor Of Mobile what enor-
nous sums must have been appropri-
ated for the larger ports on the At
lantic and the Pacific oceans?
Not only this, but enormous approp-
riations have been made for ornament
al custom houses and other public
buildings in our favored cities, but if
an appropriation is made for post
Office or other public building in one
of our little interior cities the cry of
pork barrel" is heard from one end
of the land to the other.
But this is not ALL
The rankest injustice is in freight
determinations.
For example:
Ocala is midway between Jackson
vile and Tampa and yet freight
going from Jacksonville passing
through Ocala to Tampa, is deliver
ed at less rate to Tampa than to
Ocala, and shipping from Tampa
through Ocala to Jacksonville the
same discrimination is made.
This injustice has been going on
for year after year although It has
benn brought IN fha attention of our
state and interstate commissions, and
although the large majority of our
congressman reside in the interior yet
they sit idly by and permit this fla
grant injustice to go on.
But we understand that there is to
be change and this discrimination
is to be rectified.
We hope the report is true for it
has existed for altogether too long a
time.

SENATOR LODGE

We have not. been entirely mild
in our remarks about the Massa-
chusetts senator, but the following
dictum from the Memphis CONNER
cial-Appeal is about as cutting as we
have ever seen:
But even in his present dilemma it
is APPARENT that Senator Lodge does
not appreciate the full enormity of
his offense against civilization. Eth
er he is officially incapscitated TO
realize the tremendous obligation he
assumed when he set out to defeat
the hope of the world for world peace
or else he is trying to deceive himself.
Moral values he discards when he
considers the effects that might fiow
from the Senate's logical following Of
his own lead in opposition to our par
ticipation in any peace affairs down
to the point of opposing American
representation on the PREPARATIONS COM
mission. AS proof we quote the sem
ator's own words:
The Preparations commission has
great powers. That commission will
largely control the tariff and taxa
ton of Germany, and the tariffs and
the right to enter the markets and
all similar powers are OF very great
Importance to the United States from
trade point of view, and it may be
thought desirable that it be repre-
sented on that commission, where so
much it at stake affecting our bust
ness and our economic prosperity. I
do not think that involves us in any
obligation in the nature of an alli-
ance.
The senator is right to the extent
that his own mind envisages the needs
OF the world. It is possible that even
in the matter of dividing up the spoils
Of war we may escape the common
moral obligation Of doing something
to prevent the untold losses, miseries
and woe Of war. His dictum is that
we should claim all the material bene-
fits that could accrue to us from the

RANK DISCRIMINATION

Equal rights to all Special priv
leges to nome has been popular
party slogan for any number of years,
but it has never been the policy of
this nation under any administration.
The policy of all administrations
has been in favor of the seaport cities
and against all the extensive territory
lying between the two oceans and be-
tween the Geat Lakes and the Gulf of
Mexico
Millions upon top of millions have
been appropriated from the national
treasury for the deepening of our
harhors and the improvement of our
rivers leading to them, but for the
building of hard surface roads and
the necessary bridges throughout the
interior that would be directly help
full to the agricultural and horticul-
tural industries Of the country, in
GLIDING live stock of all descriptions,
the very foundation Of our national
prosperity, the treasury of the nation
has been locked and the key lost until
very recently and even now the ap-
preparations are exceedingly niggardly
and then only on condition that the
counties and the states must put up
dollar for dollar for these pressing
needs.
Than this discrimination we can
think OF nothing more unjust
We saw q statement in the Valpa-
raiso Messenger just the other day
declaring that the enormous sum Of
ten million dollars had been approp-
rated for the harbor Of Mobile alone.
There were no strings tied to those
appropriations. The city Of Mobile

homes we know are willing to forego
the temporary benefits-to some a
real sacrifice for the good results
that they know win follow.
Good results" did we say? Yea.
more than that, for they can well be
pronounced genuine benediction that
will bless the world.
