BABY CHICK
WARNING

Purchasers of baby chicks should
beware of hatcheries advertising their
chicks as Certified" or Inspected"
but not stating who inspected" or
certified" them. This form of ad-
Ivertising is apparently an attempt to
create the impression that such hatch
cries are on the Wisconsin State Ac-
credited List. It is intended to mis-
lead the customer; and concerns that
must resort TO such practices to sell
their stock are certainly of question
able reliability.
All chicks sent out by the State Ac-
credited hatcheries bear the state
trade mark label stating clearly that
they are from inspected stock. I'm
less this label is on your chick box

The following letter has been SEM

by R. A. Peterson, County Agricul
tural Agent:
Tuberculosis of the human race
has long been considered one of its
most dreaded diseases. Each year
we willingly contribute to the Xmas
Seal Fund of the Wisconsin Anti-Tu-
berculosis Association feeling conf
dent that our little contribution will
help carry on the good work of the
Association in the control of the
White Plague.
I'VE come now to another phase OF
tuberculosis eradication-the bovine
type that is common to cattle Science
has proven that there is direct con-
nection between the bovine and the
human form Of the disease-and that
children up to the age of sixteen years
are the ones most commonly affected
1t is well, then, from this standpoint,
that we endeavor to eradicate the dis
ease from our cattle thereby remov-
ing liberal source of the disease in
the human family.
The economic loss to our livestock
industry because of the inroads of the
disease amounts to millions of dollars
annually. The several tuberculin
tests that are in use at the present
time allow a means of finding the tu-
bercular animals in our herds and
with this information we can proceed
to clean up the herds-thereby saw
ing both human life and economic
loss.
Herds have been tested in Wood
County, but only in a scattered way.
Sentiment is developing toward a
County T. B. Cleanup Campaign
that of having every herd in the
County tested. 1t is necessary to have
the signatures of sixty per cent of
the cattle owners of the County on
the petition for the County Test. The
testing is then carried on by the
State Department. The petitions will
be in the hands of an interested breed
er at each voting place at the spring
election. We wish to famiiiarize ev-
eryone in the county with the nature
of the disease and the need for the
test, and feel that an enthusiastic

"You ask me why the Great Lakes

Panama Canal has had practically the

European commerce is concerned, and

freight rates from points on the Pa

much more than half what the freight
rates are from the Mississippi valley

eff it is settled that we are to have
a waterway from the Mississippi val

settle will be where it shall be locat-
ed. There are two proposed routes,
one down the St. Lawrence river to
the sea, the other from Buffalo to
New York City. l understand a pri-

PROPERTY RIGHT
ISHELD AS
A leading
PROBLEM
J. Stitt Wilson Declares Change in
System of Control Is Needed.

''The institution of property is the
great question confronting mankind.
Property has been used, controlled
and administered irrespective of hl1-
man interests for the selfish pur-
poses of individuals. The whole in
stitution must be re-examined in the
light of the interests of human be-
ings." This was the conclusion
reached by J. Stitt Wilson last even
ing in his address in the Stanford
Assembly Hall on. "The Stream of
History"
"Man was not made for property,
but property for man." said the
speaker. ''What the remedy for the
existing condition is, l cannot say.
There is no one cure. We must take
the control of property from the self
seekers who use it for the detriment
of mankind as whole, using Won
derful care in our movements, but
moving. To do this, we must bring
to bear all the cultural complexities
of modern ivilization-science, his
tory, philosophy, art, revelations. The
teacher cannot solve the problems
through education alone, nor the sci
enlist nor the genius by means of
his science or his art
Wilson showed how, at different
times in modern history, religious in
stitutions, governmental institutions
and slavery had been the great issues
of the day. Each of these had come
to be FUSED, controlled and admins
tered by the few for their own self
ish ends" and each had in turn been
taken from their hands and extended
to all, Or in the case of slavery,
abolished entirely.
''The theory of evolution has been
misread and misinterpreted, not by
its teachers, but by its half-teachers
and half readers. The popular con-
ception of evolution as a deadly
struggle with Nature, resulting in a
survival of the fttest, is a lie. If
the common people ever discover that
nature favors those creatures that
have adopted the principle of mutual
aid, future history will have a new
Iaspect.
Editors who interpret life and
the evolutionary principle as strug-
gle for self, with the battles always
to the strong, misread the story of
life and of history. The last war was
a case of the blind leading the
blind into an abyss of horror. And
unless politicians, journalists and
teachers revise their mental frame
up in the interests of science, we
must prepare to leap into another
Ichasm of terror
Wilson traced the growth of the
principles of mutual aid and human
itarianism through the ages, as IL
Illustrated by the development of the
