e. Ray Stevens: 'T know of no
stronger tribute that can be paid to
the lovable character of Judge O'Neill
than that formed in the universal love
and respect for him which prevails
among the people of Sauk County,
where for some years he has gener-
ously lightened my work by presiding
at all terms of court held in that
county"
R. D. Marshall, former Judge of

record"
Merlin Hull Toastmaster

Judge O'Neill purse with which to
procure fitting memento as a to-

without infringing on needs already
supplied.
The Judge was visibly affected by
the demonstration in his honor and
the many kind things which were
said about him, and in his reply, in
expression of his thanks, he exhibited
much feeling. He put especial stress
on his thanks to the good people of
Black River Falls and Jackson county
for the confidence they had always
shown in him and which they had
never failed to demonstrate in sub

Baraboo Post No. rs Is Made
Heir to Sum When Local Vet
eran Order Dies Out
ACTUAL TRANSFER TO
BE MADE IN FEW DAYS
Agreement Provided That Heirs
Should Have a Like Sum Before
Transfer Would Be Made

The Baraboo post of the World War
Veterans, formerly known as the
Rank and File, on December 81, 1921
voted to turn over all its funds to the
Baraboo Post of the American Lee
gion. The actual transfer will be
made within few days. The World
War Veterans have not been active as
an organization for more than a
year. This is the way the transfer
came about:
Toward the end of the year 1919,
several veterans of the World War
living in Baraboo and vicinity, being
dissatisfied with some of the policies
at that time advocated by the Amer
ican Legion, organized themselves in
to a post of the Rank and File Vet
erans association. For a time the
cause prospered, and the membership
increased, so that before the end Of
1920 over 125 members were enrolled
with the Rank and File.
On Labor Day, September 6, 1920,
the post, which had changed its name
to World War veterans, held cele-
bration at the county fair grounds,
which resulted in the swelling of it's
treasury by some eleven hundred dol
lars. About the same time, however,
interest in the organization diminish
ed, largely owing to the fact thatIthe
American Legion in accordance with
the expressed desires of ex-seryice
men all over the country, had chang
ed some of it's policies; and there
upon most of the former members of
the World War Veterans in Baraboo
and vicinity joined tile .loeai-4E Zion
post 1t was therefore decided that
the World War Veterans should dis
continue their activities as a separate
organization, and that when the Le-
gion post could match the sum in the
World War Veterans treasury the
funds Of the latter should be turned
over to the Legion post, it being un-
derstood that the money was to be
expended only for some purpose which
would be of permanent benefit to all
the ex-service men of the World War
and to the community
The Legion post more than equalI-
ed the amount by it's Labor Day Cele-
bration September 5, 1921, and ac-
cordingIy on December 81 the World
War Veterans held a meeting and
passed the following resolution by an
almost unanimous vote.
RESOLVED, That the total
funds of Baraboo Post, World
War Veterans, be and are hereby
donated to the Baraboo Post No.
26, American Legion, to be used
in conjunction with the perma-
nent fund Of said Legion post for
E0me permanent purpose, and
that not to exceed one hundred
dollars Of the fund so donated be
reserved for the purpose of
erecting a memorial to BaraboO
Post, World War Veterans,
showing that the Baraboo Post,
World War Veterans, was the
first veterans organization in
BaraboO or vicinity to raise mon
ey toward a permanent home for
veterans Of the World War, said
memorial to consist of tablet
of bronze O. other enduring ma
terial to be placed in the per-
manent home Of the Baraboo
Post, American Legion, or to
consist of any other similar
memorial showing the source Of
the original money raised toward
such permanent. home.

The American farmer never strikes.
Paradoxically, he is on strike now.
But it's a strike he has not called,
that he is against, one that has been
forced on him.
It's no riddle. The farmers strike
is a buying strike and he doesn't buy
for the simple reason that he can't. :
And because more than thirteen
million farming families in the Uni
ted States cannot buy, the business
of the whole country is suffering,
What's going to be done about it?
Well, the great financiers of the
country are beginning to see that the
farmer must have money SO that he
can go to the stores and the factories
and big dealers and buy goods. They
are beginning to see there will be no
prosperity for themselves and for
manufacturers and business men gen
orally until the members Of those
thirteen million families can buy the
necessities, and more. They are be-
ginning to wake up to the fact that
closed factories and idle wOrkingmen
in the cities are only an effect of the
inability of the farming folks to buy
the products of shops and of me-
Chanical labor.
The government is beginning to see
it too, as witness the loaning of tens
of millions by the u. S. War Finance
Corporation to hundreds of country
banks for the sole purpose of lending
that money cheaply to farmers. AS
witness President Harding's urgent
advice to Congress to get busy.
And so, in New York and Washing
ton, I find captains of finance and
captains of government putting their
heads together to find the way out.
The farmer is on a forced buying
strike, but he never strikes against
work. He is always producing-a' >
ways-year in and year out, good
times or bad, good weather or bad,
even though he knows that he will
lose money on his crops.
This winter he Is losing five bill
lions of dollars on the 1921 things he
produced in toll and sweat.
The purchasing value of his dollar
is only SO cents.
He must spend $3.50 for the neces-
stiles he bought in 1913 for 81, or
159 per cent more.
The year before the war he got 70
cents bushe1 for his corn; now he
gets about 40 cents. But-and here
is the brutal rub-before the war he
paid $5.75 ton for his coal( on the
average). This winter he pays about
$1,000 ton So, the purchasing value
in coal of the 40 cents he gets this
winter for his corn, is only about 21
or % cents.
Before the war the farmer got $3.50
per hundred pounds for his hogs; now
he gets about $3.50. For a wagon to
haul the hogs to the railroad, he
paid SIT in 1913--and here's that
dirty rub again-now he pays $145
to $3.50 for the same wagon
Look at the table that accompanies
this article. That tells the story in fig
ures.
Now, what is your Congress going
to do to change the situation? What
is the country going to do to start the
farmer buying again and return pros
