However Sentimentalists may scott,
love is beyond doubt specific dis

Over most men the disease creeps
msidiously, marked by varying but
recognizable symptoms-"a foolish Sc
auence of disordered sentimentalities.
They have fits Of moodiness and ab-
straction and a ''brooding, hangdog
look"
They become unsociable and irri-
table-now almost hysterical in their
hilarity, now plunged in an abyss of
gloom. Their appetite fails; they lose
flesh.
In proximity to the loved one they
often act in manner distressing to
themselves and idiotic to others. Al a
word they will fame scarlet and utter
incoherencies or imhecilities. They
will sit on their hats or put the sugar
tongs in the milk jug.
Then, when at last the tortures of
incubation are over and the disease
is in full swing, the whole world is
metamorphosed for them.
This is the stage Of delirium, in
which they see glorious visions and
move among phantomS. For them
there is only one woman in all the
world. She is queen, q goddess
Her faults are virtues her virtues
divine.
Her voice, though it he raucous as
that Of raven, is sweetest music; her
face, her form, are the crown OF fe-
male perfection If they may not live
for her, all the boon they crave of the
gods is to be SLOWED to die for her.

emerges from it into sanity, for the

that hundreds Of men have closed

Antony to Boulanger. who shot him

But whatever the symptoms. love is,
beyond all question, a disease and
full of perils to its victim. It blinds
his eyes, paralyzes his judgment. 1t

CAMPAIGN FOR BETTER SIREs
Nearly 100000 Head of Stock En-
rolled-Laree Number of Fe-
males Shown In Records.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
In the three months period ending
December 81, 1920, more than $1,000
head of live stock and poultry were
enrolled by 1856 owners in the Better
Sires-Better Stock" campaign now in
progress TO improve the quality of do
nestle animals in the United States
This is large increase over the num-
Der enrolled during the previous quar-
ter. or the stock listed, $3.50 were
males and, In accordance with the
provisions Of the campaign, all these
were purebred. The female stock
numbered S7,703, and the owners have
pledged themselves to breed this stock
to purbred sires only.
The county showing greatest activ-
ity in the campaign for better live
stock during the quarterly period was
Saline county, Neb. Next in order
are Stafford county, Va; Tippe canoe
county, Ind; Pulaski county, Va. !;
Fauquier county, Va, and Platte
county, Neb. Craig county, Va,
stands out as the principal county,
since the beginning of the campaign,
In which there appears to be a strong
tendency for crossbree ding. During
the quarter just ended II Better
Sires-Better Stock" emblems were
issued to live stock owners In Craig
county and all of them owned cross
breds. Crossbred animals were i'm
partially distributed among all class
es of stock, including poultry.
The records of the better-sire cam
paign continue to show that persons
using purebred sires for all classes of
animals owned have a large number
Of purebred females as well. In fact,
of the 1903 females recorded during
the last quarter 61,504 were purebred.
The remainder, arranged according to
number, were grades, crossbreds, and
scrubs
Significant figures in the progress Of
the nationwide campaign to increase
the use of purebred sires are the fol-
lowing:
Up to December 81, 1920, the total
number of persons enrolled was 3,243.
OF these LOIS are in Virginia, which
is the highest state In number Of en-

TO DAIRYMEN OF
VERNON COUNTY

.., Last week I had notice put into
Inc Censor" through the kindness of
EDITOR Goldsmith, asking the farmers
Oh vernon county, to list with me what
ever dairy cows they may have to SELL
from the letters / am receiving,
Judge som eof my farmer friends take
IL that l want to buy cows. What /
am trying to do is to get the farmers
OF TINS county connected up with buy
ers from other states who are coming
INTO wisconsin to buy dairy cattle.
nave no other interest in the matter,
either financial or otherwise, except to
secure part of this business for Yer
non county. Many farmers are over
stocked. l am myself, and have been
compelled to sell grade cows on the
market for around $25 or less. Some
OF those cows would have brought two
or htree times that, had ! had a car
load or had / known who of my neigh
bors had enough to make a carload
But outside buyers will not come in
for less than carload.
But cows must be high class and
free from disease, and be Just as re-
presented. When these outside buyers
come into the county, / will give them
the names of all the farmers who have
said or written me they have cows to
sell. These buyers will take these
names and try to satisfy themselves
as to whether the men whose names /
give them are reliable and can be de-
pended upon to tell the truth about the
animals they have for sale. They will
then visit those whom they find reli-
able and if prices suit, buy. All ami
mails must be tuberculine tested before
they can, under Federal law, be ship
ped outside the state But that can be
arranged after sales are agreed puon,
though farmers ought to keep their
herds regularly tested for their own
good.
Cows, to sell well, must be in good
order.
Waukesha county has sold over so
carloads fcows within the last year
This has been done through high class
breeding, and through hte reputation
of fair dealing the farmers have es-
tablished for themselves.
Vernon county farmers are just as
high classed as those of Waukesha
county, and all we have to do is to
convince outside buyers of that fact
when they come here to buy. Do not
offer to sell poor animal to an out
side buyer. Sell that to the butcher
Those buyers do not want any ami
NAL that is not out of pure bred sire,
nor do they want any bred animal not
bred to a pure bred sire, and they all
want milk producers. Seven years
seems to be the age limit of cows
wanted.
/ write the above in further explain
alton fwhat appeared in the Censor a
week ago.
In listing your cattle be sure to state
whether they are Grade Guernseys,
Grade Jerseys or Grade Holsteins.

STORIES OF
GREAT INDIANS
CHIEF RED JACKET, SAGE OF
THE SENECAS
By Elmo Scott Uaison

NXTHAT Demosthenes was to the
w Greeks and Cicero to the Ro-
mans, Red jacket was to the People
of the Long House." (the IroquoiS In
dians) He was a member of the i'm
portant Wolf clan, of the Seneca tribe,
and his Indian name Of Sha-goie
watha, HE Who Causes Them to
Keep Awake" referred to the most
marked characteristic of his clan
animal instead of the chiefs oratorical
powers
During the Revolution Red jacket
tried to hold his people neutral but
being overruled by his tribe, he en-
listed under the British flag. His in
telligence soon brought him TO the
notice of the English officers and one
of them gave him scarlet jacket.
Red Jacket was not fighter. He
was at his best In the council. Il am
an orator; was born an orator" was
his boastful declaration. He was a
ready and effective speaker; he had
tenacious memory, quick wit, and a
gift of biting sarcasm. He was
especially hostile to the missionaries
who came upon the Seneca reserva-
ton. IF they are not useful to the
white people, why do they send them
to the IndiansT he said. 'If they are
useful to the whites, why don't they
keep these black gowns at home?
Surely the white men are bad enough
to need the labor of everyone who
can make them better"
In 1881 Seneca was placed on trial
for having executed an old woman as
witch. Red Jacket spoke in his de

as fools, because we still believe what

that hundreds have been executed for
the very crime which has brought
down vengeance upon the warrior
One day Red Jacket met crowd
of people on their way to witness
hanging. When asked why he, too.
did not attend the execution, the chief
replied "There are enough fools there
now The field Of battle is the place TO
see men die"
Red Jacket constantly warned his
people against the white mans ways.
He had abundant reason, for one of
the white mans customs brought
about his downfall. In his later years
he became a drunkard and descended
to such depths that in 1927 his peo-
pie deprived him of the chietship.
Eventually the commissioner Of In
dian affairs restored him to his po-
sltion. but he did not long survive
the humiliating experience. He died
January 20, 1890. and is buried In

Watermelon sIrup is Possible.

According to the fruit-juice special.
lists of the agricultural department 9
delicious strip for table use can be
made from watermelons. thus giving
the watermelon grower q by-product
from the surplus wstermeions he has
in his fields. This hyproduct can be
used in the manufacture of ginger cake,
homemade candies and as q sweetenr
ing and flavor for ice cream, as wen
as for most purposes. for which strip
is used in the home. The strip IS
reddish brown in color and is sweet
and well favored. Specialists point
out that the juice of watermelons con-
tains only about seven per cent OF
sugar. but the ease with which the
Juice can be extracted offsets the low
sugar content.

THE NEW MANUAL

The new manual for elementary
schools have not been received yet.
They will be mailed to teachers just as
soon as they arrive from the state
department. The state department
will forward them to county superin-
tendents as soon as they are received
from the printer. Just when that viii
be, we are not informed. However,
there is no prospect of immediate de-
livery, so teachers should use the old
manual for advice and subject matter
until further notice.
