THE FATE OF THE GERMAN L
ROATS

What happened to the German sub
marines which were such menace
to navigation during the World war?
Those in Germany interested in
these crafts nave compiled a history
of each one and the information mas
at last been made public. II will be
recalled that some of them created
thrills during the war by suddenly
appearing in unexpected quarters on
a death dealing or commercial mis-
sion. The Deutschland evaded all
cruisers in crossing the Atlantic and
suddenly appeared in Baltimore with
a valuable cargo, others threw shells
on the American shore, and still
others performed feats just as start
ling. After the war 172 were turned
over to the enemy or were destroyed
by the Germans. In all 1919 were lost
during the war, meeting such fates
as water bombs, mines, fights, engine
trouble, bombs from airplanes, and
ramming other ships. The APPALLING
record would not be complete with
out stating that a total of 1864 lives
were lost.

FOUR HOURS WORK

The Steinmetz prophecy that people
will work on four hour basis 100
years from now drew from Haywood
Broun, New York special column wrl-
ter the hope that "colyumists" would
be exempt from the increase. In the
Steinmetz school of thought the four
hour day is not new; but there is
point to Mr.. Broun's paragraph.
Our schedule calls for an eight
hour day, but how much of that time
do we really work? Newspaper work
ers are probably as busy as any
group. There are times when they
grind away steadily for eight hours -
or even longer. But these are excep,
tions. 1t is the same in other offices.
Stenographers, clerks, department
heads, all have periods when they
''let down. Perhaps there comes a
lull in the days business. Pencils and
papers are laid aside and there is time
for a chat over the desk, or a story

Manual labor, also, has found ways
of taking its minutes off. There is an
art in filing pipe so that a good
sized rest period is obtained. There
is art, too, in knowing how to handle
a shovel and in getting relaxation by
just potnering around.

"Pease's evident sincerity, protest,
ations of conversion, and desire to
live a better life." resulted in their
marriage in the Jail on May %, 1922,
according to language used by Mrs.
Pease in her divorce complaint.
Judge Callaghan, in his decree, in.
Guided the following statement in his
findings of fact:
due proof having been given that
since said marriage defendant has
treated plaintiff in cruel and in
human manner and has committed
acts Of cruelty and violence; that
defendant has addressed to her vile
epithets and abusive language and
has made threats of bodily injury
and harm to her and her child; thai
such cruel and inhuman treatment
and abuse, accompanied by threats
of personal injury and harm, and re-
fusal and inability to provide for
\
plaintiff and their child, have caused
an impairment and breaking down Of
plaintiffs health, so that her life and
health have been in jeopardy by rea-
son OF all of said conduct; that de-
PENDANT frequently has been under
| the influence of liquor and is so adj
dicted to the use of Intoxicating IL
quors as to be virtually an habitual
drunkard; the court finds that de-
PENDANTS whole course of treatment
toward plaintiff has been so cruel,
brutal, and abusive. and threatening
in his conduct, and dangerous, that
plaintiff no longer can live with de-
PENDANT"
Pease, who attracted more than To-
cal notice by verse written while in
Jail, said he intended to leave Winona
to accept job which had been offer
ed him.
1t was while going to Detroit to
take this job that Pease was de-
tanned in Baraboo, where his case is
awaiting hearing.

"STEP ON Err AND GET HINT

The driver of the big, heavy car
swerved it aside as beIated little
gopher ran across the road just ahead
He had the instinct to demonstrate
his dexterity at the wheel by killing.
"You got him." shouted the man
in the rear seat who was looking out
the back window to see the result.
And the driver smiled in satisfacN
ton and brought his car back into
the line of traffic.
It is difficult to see how anyone
could get Joy out of that flattened,
crushed bit of bone and hair which
a minute before had been full of life
of the wild. Yet we do see drivers
swerve in an attempt to strike a
dog or a chicken. The dog may be a
pest and the chicken may have a
blind instinct to "cross the road"
But the attempt to kill them hurts
the man who makes it.
And the roadways that run through
fields and forests tell story of the
slaughter of little animals that is to
be deplored. Once in while the
death of one of these animals is I'm,
avoidable. But most Of them are the
victims of the "step-on-b Grand get

see that there is a sanctity in the

TRYING TO BE A CROUCH

1t isn't easy to be pessimist and
this world In fact the task, is so
hard that we sometimes wonder how
the few real specimens that we
meet ever managed to reach the full
state of hard-boiled perfection.
Of course we all have the impulse
sometimes. We see a fellow who
wades right through humanity to the
lunch counter, to be served ahead of
those who have stood patiently for
several minutes. Or "road hog
tries to crowd us into the ditch. And
we determine right there to be as
thick crusted as anyone who comes
our way. We draw down our brows,
assume a belligerent attitude and
start down the street.
And then-as like as not-the next
fellow with whom we come in con-
tact has so much of whiteness in
him, so much of the milk of human
kindness, that we are shamed out
of our new pose. We have to be
decent because he is decent. Our new
grown shell is of no avail against
him; in fact, it is decided incon-
venince. And we drop it for the saner
truer, more optimistic outlook that
fits our nature.
One such mental cycle will con.
vince any man that the world is
fuller of desirable traits than it is
of the undesirable, and that the
crouch is an object to be pitied, but
not to be copied. Milwaukee Journal

This ridge of rocky land is 1910 feet
above sea level and is nearly 200 feet
taller than Blue Mounds in southern
Wisconsin, which has before geen con
sidered the highest point in the state.
Recent geoegical surveys shows. The
legislature has made provision for
marking the elevation by a suitable
marker. Should the state decline the
gift, Marathon county will accept it
as a county park.

A GUESTS DUTY IN A MOTOR
CAR

Every day thousands OF people put
themselves into the hands of some
fellow when they enter motor cars
with someone else at the wheel. What
is the guests duty if he should feel
that his own safety or the safety of
others is being imperiled? The appel
late division of the New York supreme
court, which has been making history
by it's automobile decisions, has ruled
on this point.
1t is the guests duty, so holds the
court, to protest to the driver as
soon as he feels that the point of
safety has been passed. where the
road is broad, straight and safe and

prudent and the speed law not VIC

may safely trust to the driver: but
where the road becomes crooked,

lawful or excessive and progress a

the occupant Of the car the duty of
calling the drivers attention to the
danger apprehended. This need not
be done in an offensive way; it may
be expressed through the diplomacy
or the guest" as the court words it.
But it must be done if, in case of

TURKEY MAY BE SERVED
WITHOUT cRANBERRIEs

People may have to pay for their
canberrries this year. The Wiscon-
sin crop was most promising prior to
the, frost but the decided drop in tenn
perature brought havoc to the fields
in many localities. In the Mather,
Tomah and Valley Junction marshes
the loss will amount to IS per cent
in Wood county the loss is less, be
ing set at about 25 per cent.
The harvest picking was in pro-
gress when the frost struck and the
saved crops in most cases is that
which had been gathered in rather
than the berries exposed. Where
the frost has touched the berries at
all it will materially affect their keep
ing quality.

Today the Calumet Baking
Powder factories are the largest

remarkable record.

equality is the corner stone on
which the entire structure of the
great sale sOf Calumet Baking
Powder have been founded, " said
Mr.. Warren Wright.
"The quality of Calumet never
varies. So the little demand of
yesterday has become the big de-
mand of today because we. have

ADVERTISING INSURED

Newspapers Found to be Best Medium for ''World's
Greatest Baking Powder"

90 years we have stressed this
note. The response has been that
our sale sare today $50 per cent
greater than those of any other
baking powder. Now we have
reached the conclusion that stan
dard goods of merit which are well
advertised are half sold.' -
Newspapers have proven the
best advertising medium in broad
casting the quality message of
Calumet, said II. ". SnhI, of the
Schl Advertising Agency who has
handled the advertising of Caalu-
met Baking Powder for II wears.
''The bulk of Calumet.'s $ adver-
tising appropriation is spent with
newspapers for the benefit of To-
cal dealers. Newspapers with a
home value-papers that are read
by the housewives-thc great pa
irons of the grocery store-these
are Calumet s mediums.
"Calumet advertisements are
written simply, truthfully infor
matively. They emphasize the
purity of Caalumet; the economy
of buying and using it; the sure,
unfailing baking results it gives.
Advertising without meri-
torious article to advertise, is Il
failure and fraud. A mcritori-
Gus article without advertising can
