Hail and Farewell

"He has finished with public ofiiee'
says our neighbor "The World" IN a
birthday tribute TO Woodrow Wilson,
which, without those six words,
might well have awakened the ex-
Presidents undying gratitude. But
in that sentence there owells the
6nalitv Of farewell. And il reports
Of Mr.. Wilson's returning interest IN
national politics are true, it may not
be taken as kindly as il was meant.
Rumors Of the return Of the for
mer leader Of his party TO the high
command, perhaps as the hope Of
1924. have been gravely disturbing
20 Democrats more practical and
better informed as TO political ex-
pedieney than Mr.. Wilson's chief
newspaper supporter. Among such
there has been little hesitancy in as
serting tina. Mr.. Wilson's continued
aloofness from any part in party
strategy would be beneficial rather
than injuriou5.
But "The World" up TO now has
voiced no such disloyal opinion. In
deed. in .he very editorial from
which the words quoted above are
taken one gathers tha. he is the only
living Democrat who IS really fitted
By intellect to set wandering peo-
ple back upon the path Of rectitude.
And this service. as all men know,
cannot be performed by a President
emeritus, "desirous only Of advane-
ing the general welfare and Of pro
noting the public good, concerned
little with mere partisanship and
concerned greatly with fundamental
principles"
Politicians are practical. "Funda-
mental principles" interest them
chiefly when they are laid down with
the authority Of Presidential mes
sage to the Congress Of the United
States, backed by the power that
President wields. And what con-
Germs them is how to get President
into the White House.
Mr.. Wilson's stanch supporters in
the party believed that his return to
health and his quickened interest in
political affairs would be hailed by
"The World as an indication that
he might again assume full control.
That il row, after citing him for the
high qualities which he undoubtedly
possesses, places him firmly on the
retired list will be TO them-if not 10

The Inside Of the Atom

Something over a hundred years
ago John Dalton, an English school
master, put the atom upon a solid
theoretic basis and set modern chem
istry upon its road Of extraordinary
success. All chemistry since has
been built upon that simple and bril-
liant hypothesis. Thanks TO it. we
have aniline dyes and gasoline and
countless products 20 eat and enjoy.
Whether we have known it or not,
we have been living in a world Of
atoms, Of tiny, indivisible units Of
matter that scientists could weigh
and separate and unite into new
combinations, thereby Transforming
substances and altering material TO
our needs.
To-day, as Dr.. Theodore W. Rich
ards. Of Harvard, portrayed vividly
20 the Association for the Advance
ment of Science, the chemist has
broken into the atom. Every boy
who has radcliffe watch is also
witnessing the breakup Of atoms,
though, like most grown-ups, he is
more interested in seeing in the dark
than in understanding this new con-
venienee, that was for few months
a marvel and Is now an everyday
necessity. Professor Richards dis
/ played at Cambridge pictures OF
part Of a helium atom sideswiping
a hydrogen atom. Precisely such a
m6l6e Of rushing particles is taking
place in every radioactive substance
according 10 these newer hypothesis
The arrangement Of these parti
cles-which we can think Of as per.
haps a millionth Of an atom, which
is itself a million times too small (
be seen by the naked eye-is tn,
subject Of mach speculation. Chem
lists debate a nucleus about which
these particles are arranged. Equally
is there debate as TO what these par
ticles are. But the layman needs Z
view these speeulations with tn,
same caution as that with which Oh,
wise scientist regards them. II is b,
/ the use Of hypothesis, Of trying out
likely guesses, that science has beer
able 10 make its extraordinaril,
swift progress. But thereader shoulc
understand clearly the status ot
these guesses.
The whole atomic theory is an ex
cellent illustration. II was nevel
anything more than a hypothesis
Yet it was often loosely spoken Of a,
being in some fashion a law, ant
scientists who should have knowr
better spoke Of the atoms as the IN
destruetible foundation stones Of tn.

atoms are nothing Of the sort. that

statement for the press:

Jane was a capable and intel.

wanted her own way about things.
Some Of my happiest memories are
Of the little differences we had and
Of the joyous reconciliations which
followed.
"Poor, dear Jane was, indeed,
drowned. But the story that
pushed her of the bridge ut Nj

ABOUT THE COUNTY NURSE

Public Health Nursing is new un-
dertaking in Vernon county, and the
county nurse is now in Viroqua and
viii begin work at once. The Office
viii be in the County Normal Building.
The Health Department created by
the employment of county nurse is
not charitable organization, but is
a department supported and financed
by and for the people Of Vernon coun-
ty. The work of the county nurse is
authorized by the State Board of
Health, the State Department of Pub
lie Health Nursing, and the Vernon
County Board and Health Committee.
The county nurse works under the
supervision and direction of the coun-
ty Health Committee. The members
of this committee are: Judge Mahon-
ey, VIM. NJ Dolen, Supt Geo. E. San
ford, Mrs. Nustad and Deputy State
Health Officer Dr.. Bowman
Monthly committee meetings will be
held for the purpose of improving and
extending the work of the nurse. The
State Department of Public Health
Nursing requires a monthly report
and copy is in the keeping of the
Health Committee and the nurse
The size fthe county necessarily
limits the amount of bedside nursing,
and the work of the nurse the first
year will consist largely in the in
spection of school children, home Wis
its, instructions and assistance to tu-
berculosis patients and their relatives.
School inspections win be given in
the rural schools as rapidly as possible
and any one desiring the nurse for a
special visit or occasion may telephone
or correspond with the nurse for an
appointment.
The school inspection as given by
the nurse consists in inspecting the
eyes, ears, nose, throat, mouth and
any apparent defect or disability.
The county nurse is NOT a DOC
TOR. She does not DIAGNOSE,
neither does she PRESCRIBE.
The recommendation blank sent to
the parent is NOT a written state
ment Of a POSITIVE DIAGNOSIS.
1t IS, however, a statement of an APP
parent defect. 1t is RECOMMEND
ALTON and is worthy of considera-
ton. If in doubt, write, telephone,
or call on the nurse personally. No
child will be FORCED to be inspected, |
but it is the desire of the health de-
partment that all cooperate in the
work for BETTER HEALTH.
A hearty cooperation between the |
people and the nurse will produce the |
desired results, namely, year of sue /
cessful county public health work.

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET

Edgerton, Wis, Jan. 6, 1922.
The holidays are over, and nothing
happened. Even in the northern field
the buyers seem to have laid down on
the job. They are not through; in
fact the buying has barely started if
the size of the acreage so far taken is
considered. In the southern counties,
the first move is yet to be made. In
TACT some farmers in town of Albion
have started to size their tobacco in
the stripping room, not waiting for the
buyer. But the packers are not in
the game to play it for all that there
is In 1T, as the case was during past
years, not yet at any rate, and it is
doubtful if the lifting of the crop will
at any time create any particular life
In the market. 1t does not look that
way at the opening of the new year.
The economic conference now on in
a preliminary meeting in Paris, NAV.
# it succeeds, place Europe in a posi-
ton where her buying power may be
revived, and her credits arranged in
manner to again make her an active
customer to the United States. That
the statesmen of our country will lend
hand in bringing this about, we have
every reason to believe. If this comes
about within the present year, the to-
bacco industry in the us. would stand
a fair chance at disposing of some of
the type of leaf that at the present
time is Cutting the domestic market.
Any real prospect of renewed demand
OF tobacco by European nations would
stimulate the market at home in adj
vance of actual resumption of export
trade. The results of the economic
conference viii, if the men around the
conference table forget politics and
immediate territorial advantages, be
of just as far reaching in its benefits
as the reduction of ornaments con-
ference now held in Washington, is,
and even more so, because the econo-
mic adjustment will much more quick
ly reach the immediate needs of all the
people than the adjustment of the po-
litical issues.
Something to loosen the jam is
needed; the U. S. is overstocked with
tobacco, but not the world. Not all
who want a smoke are getting it.

No one receives anything gratuitously

We believe that any sales policy
which encourages the giving of ficti-
tious values for used cars is an injus-

lish definitely the fact that the Buick
Motor Company has never followed
this policy-rather has always based
the price of its product upon actual
costs and when costs came down cor
reSpondingly reduced the price of it's
cars to the public without any camou-
flage whatsoever.
