COUNTY AGENT NOTES
Last of the Sodatol Arrives

The last carload of Sodatol, the war
salvage explosive, that has been Sc
cured through the county agents Of
fee, has arrived and been distributed
to the farmers of the county.
The supply of this material has
beee drawn on heavily by the state of
Wisconsin,, likewise Grant county. A
result is there is no more for distribu-
ton.
Grant county farmers obtained 100,
900 pounds from September, 1923, to
date. This represents saving OF
about $4,000 in cost to the users.
This explosive has been secured for
400 farmers If all had taken an
equal amount it represent about $3.50
saving to each.

SIX TEAMS TO COMPETE
so. WESTERN WIS. LEAGUE

Final arrangements have been COM
pleted and the six towns listed below
comprise the Southwestern Wiscon-
sin league:
Boscobel, Muscoda, Blue River,
Lone Rock, Spring Green and Rich
land Center.
Officers are: Pres, Mike Eagan,
Lone Rock; Sec.-Treas., Lloyd
Mohr, Muscoda.
Each team was required to put up
cash deposit of $780,
Each town will furnish its own
umpire to accompany the team.
Each team is allowed to pay its
pitcher up to $40 game, including
expenses, and catcher up to SIS per
game. Any other payers aside from
the battery may be engaged providing
the city has a good battery. In the
case of Lone Rock, where only three
players qualified, they were permitted
to seek outside talent.
The theory of small town club
and good local baseball has proven
out where the teams have not been
stirred to too deadly rivalry and
paid such prices for players that they
went bankrupt.

POLITICAL ADS CASH IN ADVANCE

Now that the campaign is begin
ming the Herald desires to make it
known that all political advertising
will be at our regular card rates and
strictly cash in advance.
The reason land good one) is that
we have found through experience in
other campaigns if we do not exact
an advance payment we often lose
the money The elected candidates
pay up as rule. The defeated can
didates do too-if they are honest.
The fact probably is that many
losing candidate figures he is burying
a dead horse to pay campaign bills.
why" he reasons, should l throw
good money after bad?" We get it
in the neck.
And we do not care to carry polit-
ical ads for less than our CONNER
cial rates. We cannot afford to- Our
charges are based on costs and the
customer must take it or leave it as
he sees fit. We have just one price
and it applies to all parties.
What other papers do is no concern
of the Herald's. They can run their
business and we will run ours. Our
policy, announced in the foregoing,
will be strictly adhered to. 1908

FLOWERS FOR THE LIVING

Since the general news has already
been circulated about the city that
the News is about to change editors,
we have heard more favorable COM
ments and have been handed more
bouquets during the past week than
we have received heretofore during
the whole ten years that we have
been at the helm of the old boat. We
appreciate them now, far be 1t from
us not to, but if we could have only
had some of them scattered out over
the ten years gone by during part of
which time it has been over rough
seas and rugged sailings, how much
good they would have been toward
helping us along. Better late than
never, and really, truly, we appreciate
every kind word and every interest
that has been manifested in our

successor deserves your praises (and

him a little bouquet along the way?

Protection for
Things Of the Wild.

The month Of May to the writer is
the most glorious Of the year. Win
ter wanes and summer advances. Be
tween these extremes lies May and
the vernal beauty of spring.
In Wisconsin particularly is spring
beautiful. Nature unfolds in plant,
tree and flower. Birds fly north and
pause a while with us. The animal
world in accordance with natural
plan mate and reproduce. We are
witnesses of the eternal miracle-the
rebirth and unfolding of life all about
us.
In this beautiful kingdom stalks
Man. the diseerdant. His purposes
are material, destructive and selfish
He has made a blot of beautiful
world.
People invade the woodland and
pull wild flowers UP by the roots.
The flowers are carried home to be
cast thoughtlessly aside and to wither
and die. We view the feathered
friend pouring forth his melody from
the bough and bring him down with
a pellet of lead. One moment gl0r-
ious and beautiful creature pulsing
with life and song. The next moment
rotten carbon Why need this be?
Why are we so destructive?
Go to the woods by all means.
View nature at her most beautiful
and best. Undergo that moral and
physical change that comes to those
who commune with nature in her
myriad forms. Partake of spring in
ali its beauty and life-but spare the
Afe that makes spring beautiful.
View the flowers-don't pluck them.
Listen to the birds but don't shoot
them. Be a conserver-not a de-
strOyer.

Modifying the VOlStead Act
n WAY Towards Law Obedience.

Because we believe that present
conditions are deplorable the Herald
has not hesitated to denOunce the
widespread violation Of the liquor
law through the manufacture and
sale of moonshine whisky. The i'm
portant thing to remember is our
flag and the structure of law under
which it stands.
The important thing in our govern
ment is the government itself. Amer
icanism transcends wet or dry. One
might paraphrase Lincoln and say:
eff we can keep the Union all wet we
will make it wet; if we can keep it
all dry we will keep it all dry; and
if we can keep it half wet and half
dry we will keep it that way; but
the sole and important consideration
is to save the Union"
With this purpose before us we
care little for the feelings of the rad
ical dry or the shameless wet who
cannot control his appetite and
would destroy a nation to satisfy it.
We care about one thing only-that
is the flag.
It seems to us that a modification
of the Volstead act along sound tenn
perance lines such as has been
worked out in Canada and Scandi-
navia, without the return of the sa-
loon, would prove beneficial and make
for law obedience and good govern
ment. We do not believe that men
are made better by laws so rigorous
that they inv tie disobedience and out
lawry. We do not have to go farther
than our own town to find this out.

TOOK THE PARSONS ADVICE

A colored preacher said to his con-
gregation, Heaven helps those who
help themselves. If God does not an
swer your prayer, help the Lord to
answer it."
One of his parishioners came back
a few days later and said, "Parson,
I proved your doctrine true. The
other night I saw a lot of turkeys
sitting in tree, and [ prayed God
to send me one of those turkeys dur
ing the night, but he did not answer
my prayer. The next night | prayed
God would send me to help Him get
one of those turkeys for me and
before sunrise next morning my
PRAYER was answered"

fealty whether the party is right or
wrong.
Speaking of a revived democracy in
this state, Fred l.. Holmes, political
observer says:
"a rehabilitated democratic party
will face the Wisconsin electors next
fall. Two years ago the democratic
party polled less than $4,000 votes in
the Wisconsin primary and was elm
mated from the November ballot as a
party organization. This spring the
party cast 10000 votes for democra-
tic candidates for president. The sud
den revival of democratic life, indi-
Gates that this party will put legis-
lative tickets in the field and will
again function as an organization"

BY A. E. Frederick,
State Humane Officer.
Written especially for the Herald.)

"Thou shalt be to him instead of
God. EXODUS.
God had put into the beings of
dumb animals the instinct of conf
dence in man This instinct causes
the animal to recognize man as its
master.
In one sense, therefore, man is the
animals god. To this god the domes-
tic animal looks for it's daily feed,
water, shelter, and care. Upon him it
must also depend to be put humane
ly to death when it grows old.
AS master, man is in control. He
may curse his beast, but his beast
cannot reply. He may starve 1T, but
the animal cannot complain. He may
beat and abuse the animal but II
must bear it's suffering in silence. IL
is this helplessness of the animal
and it's dependence upon man that IN
creases mans responsibility.
In his mastery over dumb animals
man has exercised his lordshlp IN
many ways. The beast of burden car
ries and hauls his loads. Food AMI
mails are slaughtered for his meat.
Wild animals are shot for his sport.
Fur-bearing animals are trapped Tor
his furs. Plumage of birds adorns
women's head-dress. And live AMI
mails are dissected upon the operat-
ing table for the experiment OF med
ical science.
Inu all these, the thoughtless and
cruel have often taken advantage OF
their lordship and have caused much
cruelty. In many cases, no doubt, ter
rible suffering has been caused which
has been wholly unnecessary. To sat
isfy their desires, men have many
times been unfaithful to the trust OF
their lower comrades, and have been
unworthy of their lordship.
Our quotation reads, Thou shalt
be-" Whether we desire this relation
or not, the Creator of all things has
decreed that we shall be INSTEAD of
God" to the lower creation. The
dumb animal holds its place in crea-
ton by divine right.
We must, therefore. assume the re-
sponsibility of care and kind treat
ment of our dumb animals; likewise
the responsibility of defending them
from the cruelty and neglect of 9TH
ers. The strong must, in all things,
bear the burdense of the weak.

Standard Oil Believes
In Advertising,
The Elements Of War.

Private Peat in an address to the
Cleveland Rotary club said:'
"The reason that assassination Of
and archduke could rouse 25,OOO,OO0
young men to arms is that they knew
too much about war heroes and too
little about other heroes. Ask any
boy or girl who is the greatest hero.
Any English child may say Yelling
ton; an American, Washington; a
German, Bismarck; a French, Foch.
None of them will name Christ, Pas
teur, Edison, nor Burbank. We who
served know that war has four ele-
ments; tears, filth, wooden crosses
and a degenerating influence. The
pupils today are learning that it is
glorious, chivalrous and honorable"

OREGON LAW UNCONSTITUTIONAL

The Oregon law requiring attend
ance at public schools, to the exclu-
sion of private and parochial schools,
has been declared unconstitutional by
the Federal Court at Portland, Ore.
The decision was a result of an in
junction brought by Hill Military
Academy against State officers to pre-
vent them from executing the law.
The law was strongly opposed by the
private and parochial schools of the
state. The court holds that the rights
of parents and guardians were disre-
garded by this legislation. An appeal
will be made to the United States
Supreme Court.

Democracy Rehabilitated
and Militant.

So long as we operate government
by parties the Herald would prefer
seeing a strong democratic party OPP
posed to a strong republican party
than a strong republican party div
ided into disputing factions and OPP
posed by a feeble. impotents democrat
party Here in Wisconsin we have
had no democrat party at all. The
republican party is divided into two
factions-one self-styled and pseudo
progressive-the other a remnant of
of the old regime them
selves conservatives. Neither fac
ton deserves the label republican"
although both claim it. Too much
power in a party makes factions in
the party and lop-sided government.
In the South the same conditions
prevail under another label. The old
South is irretrieveably democrat
whatever that means. The party is
split by warning factions. Ask any
Southerner if this isn't true.
Now we have a chance to get the
democrat party back in Wisconsin and
with it will come a united and better
republican party. That should mean
better government which is the only
thing any good citizen should be in
terested in Certainly it betokens no
intelligence to show slavish party
