WvlDlY BROUGHT BACK PAST
Liberty Loan Posters Seemed Very
Old, Though Only Three Years
Really Have Elapsed.

A janitor's uncompleted work
greeted elevated line patrons at one
OF the downtown stations the other
evening. He had been removing adver-
tislng posters from the side of an
adjacent building. The first layer re-
msined stuck to the wall. They con-
sisted of a series OF posters for the
third Liberty loan. One OF these bore
the pictures OF a sailor. soldier in
a campaign hat and ship-yard
worker. The sailor was keeping the
road Open" the .sSldier was building
the road to Berlin" AID the ship-yard
worker was making the ships. Buy
bonds to keep these men going; they're
lighting for you" urged the artist.
The faded posters seemed 10 fas-
cinate the crowd. To those who
stayed at home IL reminded them OF
the times they were giving till II
hurt" and to the veterans IL recalled
those days of the ST. Mihiel drive and
the preliminary smashes in the Argonne
forest, or, perhaps, to some those
hectic hours when they were "lespin9
from cafe to cafe" in Paris.
Like a ghost of the past, the posters
stalked with their message They were
ages old with their three years Of

SCIENTISTS CAN But GUESS
No Absolute Proof Can Be Brought a.
to How Long Man Has Existed
on the Earth.

II Is proved that man-true man
existed on this earth many. many
thousand years ago. How many no
one can certainly say, but certainly
longer than the period accepted as
strict dogma by Bible Christians Win
In living memory (and stili affirmed
by some Of them). IL is not proved.
bur IL is highly probable tuat there Is
genetic connection between man as
we know him and the earlier inferior
types Of which evidence remains. III a
critic were TO maintain that man as
We know him TOse suddenly from
some other type not yet found (for
the evidence is very fragmentary and
sllght). he would not be cUntradicting
ascertained fact; on the contrary, ne
has on his side the anomaly of hne
skulls found In apparently very early
strata: all that department is quite
unfixed. That man as we know him
was vile thing for countless gen.
erations and gradually rose TO prac-
tice the human virtues and inteili
gence Is not proved at all. There is
not an atom of proof Even the vague
analogy from existing savaees fails
Some sayages are OF one character
some of another; all as old In descent
as ourselves. The excessive evil af
firmed of true man when first he could

YOUR growing system by cutting back
to the proper length. then remove all
other canes. The dead and diseased
canes should be taken oCt. even though
Il leaves only n siigle healthy cane
TO each plant or bush.
II Is highly important that this dead
stock be removed from the berry patch
each spring. as the fruiting canes OF
the present season die as soon as the
fruiting season is over and new ones
come on 10 fruit next season. The
dead canes perform no service what
ever after their fruiting season and
only harbor insect pests and serve TO
clutter up the patch. Remove them
and apply the match.
The important work OF the spring
pruning. aside from removing this
useless matter from the berry patch,
Is TO prune back the lateral branches
which formed during previous grow
ing season. II is upon these laterals
that the fruit comes and II they are
not pruned back In the spring, the
fruit will he of very indifferent quality
In the majority of seasons.
A good rule TO use Is 10 cut back the
lateraIs one-half Of the growth which
they have made. II you want to pro-
| duce the big. luscious kind ef berries
you see In the nursery catalogue.
The growth Of sufficient laterals Is
also encouraged by the judiciOus use
Of the pruning knife during the sum-
mer growing season when the new
| canes are coming on.
| Having your berries properly
| pruned. only one thing more Is neces-
sary 10 success and that is plenty OF
moisture This Is made possible by
constant cultivation. Try using the
hoe and the pruning knife on the berry
patch and you will be amazed at the
results.

FOR NOVEMBER ELECTION

MADISON, Wis.-Ballots for Wis
consin's general election Nov. Z, are
short-measured in inches and not

On the short referendum ballot pre-
pared by the secretary Of state, three
proposed constitutional amendments
are placed, to be voted on by electors.
The three amendments to be submit
ted at the general election call for a

REGULATE COUNTRY DANCE

MADISON, Wis.-Enactment Of a
state law extending power to counties
to regulate public amusements as
guard to the morals of young men and
girls, was urged by DR.. c. A. Harper,
state health officer, addressing the
State Conference of Social Work here
last Thursday. DR.. Harper said that
adoption of dance hall regulation by
the city of Madison had driven so per
cent of the city dance hall attendance
to the country, where no regulations
were in effect. He pointed to the in
effectiveness of such localized meas
ures and suggested that some steps
should be taken by the legislature to
give county governments authority to
regulate the situation.

ST. PAUL, MINT was all Wis

brought large delegations to the
grounds. Wisconsin badges made all
the crowd look like a Wisconsin
crowd. And the bands the delegations
brought played On, Wisconsin. Those
in the crowd who were not from Wis
consin must have been convinced that
Wisconsin is a dairy state.
The schedule of arrivals of the spec
ial delegations started with the Polk
county delegation, 400 strong on a
special train. Every one Of the 20
creameries in the county was repre-
scented, and the butter makers, in
white uniforms, attracted much atten-
ton.
An advance guard of the Chippewa
county delegation came Wednesday.
Other delegations are: st. Croix

persons by rail; La Crosse, 500 per-
sons, special train; Washburn, 1000

WORKMEN UNEARTH
RELICS OF 1911 FLOOD

While workmen were excavatlng ior
a filling station at Black River Falls'
some interesting things were dug up
that had been deposited in the sand
since the flood of October s, 1911. me
sand bar at the point where the nlllng
station is to be built had renamed
much as it was the morning after the
flood. AS layer after layer OF SAND
was removed things of various de-
scription were found. A bronze clock,
a gold watch case, silver spoon and
numerous metal articles from the
stores which washed away, were un-
covered. A couple of buggies and a
hay rake showed up in the excavating.
Among other discoveries were
couple of bottles of beer, the real
stuff, which was quite common at the
time of the flood 1t is said the dis
covery of theme bottles almost caused
a Klondike rush of prospectors to the
sand bar but further digging failed to
unearth any more bottles. Some
where in the big sand bar at Black
River are thirsty or forty safes which
have been buried all these years
Though excavation has been quite ex-
tensive, not one of them has been
brought to light

SHORT LIFE OF PIKE
SAVES WARDEN FINE

After a three-months fight, Lon
Kitman, Galesville game warden,
was acquitted in court at Whitehall,
of the charge of catching, killing anu
selling game fish. While SEEMING for
rough fish, Kitman found a 1O-pound
wall-eyed pike in the net, SO severely
injured, he said, that it could not have
lived had it been put back in the river.
He sold it and turned the proceeds
over to the state. Compliments as
serted that the fish was alive in
an icebox three hours after caught.
Expert witnesses said pike cannot
live more than 20 minutes out of
water, and Kitman was freed by a
jury.
