SEPARATISTS ARE LOSING.
Uprisers Lose Cities as Fast as They
Capture Them.

Paris. Oct. a5.--A Rhincland rcpub-
lie this morning seems as far away as
ever. for the separatists, although
making fresh conquesis. do not appear
to have sufficient forces TO hold
them.
The loynlists. in the presence OF The
complete arathy of the general pub
lie, Seem TO have no difficulty in re-
gaining control, so that. when bal
ance is struck. the separatists are IN
much the same situation today as yes
trrday.
The movement now apparently is
confronted By the opposition of an in
dependent republic engineered by Bur.
gomaster Adanauer of Cologne and
fostered by the Reich. which seeks to
divert the sepnratists' coup in it's Ia
yor. This. according 10 a Perrin dis
path. Is the real object of Chancellor
cheeseman's visit TO Hagen. The Ber-
lin correspondent of lie Journal even
says that this second republic will
be proclaimed Within "A hours.
According TO Joseph Matthes. the
separatist leader, this is not a INV
or hastily devised plan. The cham
cellor. so much impressed by the ac-
tivities of the Rhinelanders, had de-
termined all along 70 get ahead OF
them in the promotion Of an autono-
nous Rhineland.
Separatist Action Hurried.
This was the real reason for the
hurried action Of Leo Deckers and
DIR. Guthardt in scizing AK La Cha
pelle last Sunday, Matthes told lie
Mathis Coblenz correspondent.
"Th.y (Deckers and Guthardt) re-
ceived information from Cologne that
a Rhenish state, according 10 the IDEAS
OF Berlin, would be proclaimed with
out delay by the center party.
I'VE also learned that Bavarian
nationalists, as well as the commun-
lists Of Saxony and Thuringia. had all
planned 70 launch movements. Deck
ers and Guthardt thought the best
thing 10 do was TO lose no time in
starting our movement and thus steal

RED CROSS CHAPTER
SENDS $500 CHECK
Iron County's Share of Japanese Re-
lief Fund Sent Immediately to
Headquarters.

The Iron county chapter of the
Red Cross, through its chairman,
Dr. C. c. Urquhart. last Friday sent
a check for $400 to the Red Cross
headquarters az Chicago, this being
the county's quota of the Japanese
relief fund.
Rather than put on a drive to
raise the county's quota, which is
the usual procedure, the Iron county
chapter decided to meet its quota
Immediately by drawing on the
treasury for the amount, thus avoid
ing delay attending the carrying out
of drives.
That the local chapter was able to
meet the demand mad, on it so
expeditiously reflects credit on the
Red Cross chapter and the county
in general
The annual Red Cross roll call
occurs in November, and at that time
it is planned to make a determined
effort to sign up all old members
and get as many new ones as possible
in order that Iron county may be in
position to meet future demands

POTATO CROP LESS
THAN LAST YEAR
Crop and Livestock Bureau Reports
That Two-thirds of Last Years
Crop in Prospect.

Two-thirds of last years potato
crop is in prospect in Wisconsin ac-
cording to the September forecast
of 81 million bushels this year com
pared to al million bushels produced
last year as announced by the Crop
and Livestock Reporting Service at
Madison. Marked changes have
taken place in different parts of the
state, although the forecast for the
entire state remains the same as on
August 1st. The crop in the
northern counties of the state and
including part of the Waupaca dis
trict is promising, prospects in this
region being SAG or more of a
normal yield Crop conditions
in August in the northern part of
the state are less promising due to
drouth conditions in August. The
crop was greatly damaged in a group
of counties in central Wisconsin ex-
tending from Lacrosse to Fond du
Lac, by dry weather in July and
August, the yield prospects in this
group of counties being less than
COZ of normal.
The forecast of the United States
potato crop is 1870 less than last
year. Of the eight leading potato
states, only the State of Maine
shows an increased production. In
that state, the potato crop appears
to be 2796 greater than last year.
The Minnesota forecast is 11fs be-
low last year. Michigan shows
reduction of 2196 and New York a
cut of 300.
Tobacco-Rains in early August
made favorable growing weather for
tobacco in the southern part of the
state so that a 100000 pound
crop is the September forecast.
Yield prospects in the Vernon and
Monroe. county district are only fair,
but in the southern counties heavy
yields are general. Tit September
forecast of So million pounds is
1796 above last years production of
46 million pounds.

WORTH OF LAND
SET TOO HIGH
Commissioner of Markets Says That
Cutover Lands Bought by Settler
Have No Use Value.

Madison-The opinion was ex-
pressed today by Edward Nordman,
commissioner of markets for Wis
cOnsin, in a statement that mo
permanent Improvement in condi-
tons of agriculture is possible until
initiation in land prices is estimat-
ed"
Commissioner Nordman declared
that so long as farmers who pur-
chase land for farming purposes are
obliged to pay more for land than
it is actually worth the effect will
be detrimental to the general pros
perity of the country and the farm
ers' market.
"The selling price of land" the
statement said, cas- well as that Of
any other factor of production,
should be determined by the pros
poets of profits that such factors will
yield over and above the cost of pro-
duction. The fact that the incomes
of farmers are below cost of produc-
ton and that the majority of farm
ers are either renters or are burden
ed with heavy mortgages shows CON
clusively that the price at which they
are buying land is much above the
use value of such land.
THE best illustration of the dis
regard of the factor Of land cost is
to be found in the selling Of unim-
proved cutover lands When bought
by the settler such lands have no
use value. The labor and expense
involved in bringing these lands into
productive use are so large as to pre-
clude any possibilities of profits.
Nevertheless the bulk of such lands
is sold to settlers for $25 an acre.
Figuring on a tract of 40 acres the
settler is compelled to pay $1,000
simply for an opportunity of going
TO work
IF the price of land is strictly in
proportion to its real worth only the
best and most available land will be
used, and cost of production in ar
riculture will then not be unduly
high and farm products will sell for
prices that viii be within the reach
of the pocketbook of the average
consumer.

WILL MAKE SODATOL
AT BARKSDALE
The Dupont Powder Company
Awarded Contract to Manu-
faeture the New Explosive,

Washburn-Nine million pounds
of the new farm explosive, sodatol,
will be manufactured at the Banks
dale. plant of the Dupont company
1t has been announced by officials,
and preparations are now under
way in making ready to start opera
tons. The Dupont company has
been awarded the contract to manu-
facture 100000 pounds, and half
of this lot has been assigned to the
Barksdale plant.
Sodatol will be manufactured from
I. N. T. now stored at Sparta, and
nitrate of soda stored at Old
Hickory, Nashville, Tenn. These
materials will be shipped to Wash
burn, where the manufacture will
consist of preparing and mixing the
materials and cartridging and box
ing them for shipment.
The work will be extended over a
period of two or three years and
will quite materially Increase the
crew to be employed at the Banks
dale plant.
Information given out from Coun-
ty Agricultural Agent V. E. Bru-
bakers office here states that the
explosive will be sold to farmers at
the rate of $685. per hundred
pounds. A box of blasting caps will
be given free. The amount Of
sodatol that will be sold to any one
farmer has been limited to one thou
sand pounds.
This makes the cheapest explosive
that the farmers have been able to
purchase, and means a saving of
nearly half over what it has been
necessary to pay for T. N. T. or
picric acid. 1t is put up in cart
ridges of about seven ounces each
and is easy to handle and is non
freezing.

CHEMISTRY TEACHING
SYSTEM WRONG
System of Teaching High School
Chemistry Is Waste of Effort,
Declare Chemists.

Milwaukee-The system of teach,
ing high school chemistry gen
orally is all wrong on account OF
enormous waste of effort of students
and lack of proper correlation OF
high school and college courses or
the subject, according to a report OF
committee on chemical education
made today before the American
Chemical society in semi-annua
session here.
In submitting the report, Prof
Neil f. Gordon Of the University OF
Maryland, chairman of the com
mittee, said that drastic reforms in
high schools and colleges are
necessary to link up in a uniform
national plan, the subject of chemis-
try. Such plan was embodied in
the report.
Glow much the lack Of proper
correlation of high school and col
lege chemistry is doing to hold back
the cause of chemistry, can only be
seen by a careful study Of the prob
lem," Professor Gordon said.
1T is found all grades of chem
istry are being taught in the high
schools, from no chemistry at all, to
a course which would compare
favorably with the best college
standards"
When it comes time for the stu
dent to enter college, the trouble
starts, according to the speaker
There is little chance Of a uniform
classification of such chemistry stu
dents and, as result, the higher in
stitutions of learning sometimes
ignore entirely, the EARLIER founda-
ton on the subject, he said.
To correct the irregularities il
chemistry teaching, the committee
recommended the following objec
tiyes
l. To encourage the teaching q
chemistry in the high school
2. To have prepared a high
school chemistry course that woulC
answer for students going to college
and for those not going.
! 3. To outlir minimum high
school chemistry course, taking intt
+ account content and method.
a. To obtain recognition by col
/ leges Of high school chemistry a
least to the extent Of offering Z
i different course to those student
who have had an elementary cours'
in high school

RRIDAL PARTY IN
AUTO ACCIDENT
C.r Turns Turtle on Way to Church
and Brides Attendant Suffers
Fractured Leg.

An automobile accident in which
Young lady occupant of the car
suffered a fractured leg and three
otbers were shaken up and bruised
MARRIED the festivities attending the
wedding of Miss Esther Gardini and
Peter Guizzetti, both of Gle,
Wednesday morning.
The bridal party, including Miss
Lucy Nagro, who was to have acted
as bridesmaid, and Anthony
Cardini. attendant to the groom,
was on its way to st. Mary's church
in an Essex touring car driven by
Mr. Gardini, brother of the bride. At
a curve in the road in the Cary loca-
ton an attempt was made to pass a
car going in the same direction. In
turning out the bridal party car en-
eountered loose gravel, skidded and
turned turtle, turning over twice.
Miss Nagro was thrown clear of the
car. the others being pinned under
meath the wreckge. Miss Nagro was
taken to the Union hospital, where
it was found that the young lady's
right leg was fractured. She also
suffered bruises about the head and
body. Mr.. Gardini was badly shaken
up and sustained injuries to his left
hand, although not serious.
The bridal couple escaped serious
injuries and proceeded to st. Mary's
church, where the marriage
ceremony was performed by Rev.
Fir Klopp.
Miss Nagro has been employed at
j. f. Sullivan's drug store. She
will probably be confined to the
hospital for several weeks.
It is believed that the car was
being driven at a high rate ofespeed,
causing it to turn turtle when the
loose gravel was encountered. The
car was almost completely wrecked.

lumber of Ex-Service Men Taking
Advantage of Educational
Bonus Decreasing.

1000 ex-service men availing them
selves Of the state educational bonus

ment.
The number of ex-service men TAX

those desiring an education have in
many cases graduated and the de-
mand in an educational way from
this group is gradually being sup
Piled,
Last year the educational bonus
was administered under the direc-
ton Of the state board of education.
Since the abolition of this board by

educational bonue of $50 a month.
Besides this group there were A.
956 given free correspondence
courses. A total of 1,400 have been
enrolled in free evening classes.
Ex-service men are still being en-

in the enrolment of these classes
while there are single enrollments

CITIES BEAR
HIGHEST TAX
In Comparison With Rural Sections
Wisconsin Cities Pay Most of
the Taxes.

Madison-The city resident in
Wisconsin has more cause for com
plant against high taxes than has
the disgruntled farmer, judging by
report of the state tax commission,
announced today by Thomas f.
Lyons, chairman.
This report, based upon COM
parative facts compiled by the tax
commission, shows that while the
true value of city property in Wis
consin is but IS per cent of the total
true value of all property in the
state, cities bear on the average SIS
per cent of the total taxes.
According to tax commission fig
ureS, the true value of rural prop
erty in Wisconsin amounts to ST.
224,247,107, while the true value
of urban property is set at $780,
| 4S5,735, or is per cent of the total.
In spite of its lower true valua-
ton, urban property is shown by the
report to have paid S44.821, 1877 in
taxes compared to- $3S, 2S4,597 paid
by the rural property.
This report indicates" Chairman
Lyons said, that the farmers of
Wisconsin are not overtaxed when
their status is compared with that
of the city resident. The farmers
are to be sympathized with, however,
because their business is not paying
at this time 1t is that situation
which gives rise % the present com
plant.
The assessed valu, of all rural
property, like its true value is in ex-
cess of the assessed value of urban
property, according II the report.
The assessed value Of the rural hold
ings is set at $1.SS6 S20,979 and
that of city holdings at $685.
1899, showing the urban property
assessed value to be a per cent Of
the total
Likewise the composite tax rate
assessed in cities is higher than the
country tax rate, the report shows.
The average rate assessed in rural
communities was shown by the tax
commission to have been It'll mills
while that in the cities was 27.03
mills.
Following is the percentage of
urban to total taxes in some Of the
larger counties of the state, as
shown by the commission bulletin:
Brown county, 65 per cent; Chip
pewa, as per cent; Dane, 81 per
cent; Douglas, az per cent; Eau
Claire, Ga per cent; Kenosha, n
per cent; La Crosse, rs per cent;
Manitowoc. Sc per cent; Marathon,
46 per cent; Marinette, 40 per cent;
Milwaukee, 96 per cent; Outagamie,
65 per cent; Racine, so per cent;
Rock, SO per cent; Sheboygan, 63
per cent; Winnebago, n per cent.
In many Of the purely agricultural
sections, the rural taxes total much
more than the city taxes, although
the composite average rate shows
that cities bear more taxes than
rural communities, despite claims to
the contrary.
