ADVICE TO
FARMERS
Savant Says Acres Have
Been Exhausted BY
Obstructive Methods.
By Cosnnopolitan News Service.

DEFIANCE, Ohio, March 2S.--
Sell only sunshine and rain.
That's the remedy for American
agricultural Ills suggested by Charles
H. Allen, president of the Farmers
Sugar Company, who declares farm.
ers are in trouble because they have
been selling wheat and other crops
containing a great deal OF mineral
matter.
Just because we inherited a great
mass of mineral matter in the shape
Of soil fertility is no reason why we
should pay Europe for hauling ii
away" said Allen, addressing a
group of farmers here.
I'VE count production costs and
figure we sell wheat at a profit. If
we also computed the value of min
eral elements in the wheat, adding
this to the production cost, we
should find we always sell wheat at
a loss.
Chemical composition Of sugar is
carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. The
carbon comes from the air as the
result Of the sun action on plant
leaves. Hydrogen and oxygen come
from the rain. Sugar beets merely
store up sunshine and rain, and
when the storeroom is returned to
the soil in the form of pulp, no fer.
tility has been taken away.
Beet Pulp Is Food.
In addition to sugar, Mr.. Allen
would have the American farmers
sell milk, butter. eggs. bacon, wool,
cotton and other crops that also
contain very little mineral matter.
Sugar beet pulp can best be put
back on the farm as dairy feed"
with alfalfa and grain, it balances
the ration, acts as a laxative and
prevents the danger Of over-feed.

without soft feed, especially dur
ing the stable feeding in the winter,
protein diet has danger of accumu-
ing vessels Of the animal and thus
reducing production danger that
scientific agriculturists agree is en-
tirely eliminated by feeding sugar
beet pulp.
Raise sugar beets, and sell sun
shine and rain in the form Of
sugar; feed the beet pulp to cows,
and sell sunshine and rain in the
form Of dairy products. Feed your
grain to sheep and hogs, and sell
sunshine and rain in the form Of
wool and bacon.

Is not extended credit, but rotation,

that take no mineral fertility from
the soil and at the same time,

FOREST PROTECTION WEEK;
ARBOR AND BIRD DAY
81 to 81 Will Be Observed as
Forest Protection Week.

Northumberland Blaine has
issued a proclamation designating
the week of April 81 to 81 as Forest
Protection Week and May 8 as
Arbor and Bird Day. The governor
urged that the occasions be OBJ
served by schools, civic organiza-
tons and other bodies.
81 desire to call your attention to
the annual destruction of trees,
birds, and the beauty of our natural
landscape by uncontrolled fires on
forest, marsh or cut-over lands" the
governor declared in his proclama-
ton. mo less than one million
acres were burned over last year in
our state. Millions of trees, both
large and small, were destroyed ;
countless nesting birds were disturb
ed and their conveys annihilated ;
and the green beauty of hill and dale
bIackened on burned over areas,
with the consequent interference to
the natural flow of surface and
underground waters. 1t is inn
portant to us that we retain produc-
tive forest areas. as one of our
greatest natural resources, and in
doing this we must first check these
uncontrolled fires as the most
formidable agency of forest destruo-
ton.
"The president of the United
States has seen fit to emphasize the
Importance of this question in desig-
mating the week April Fl to q as
Forest Protection Week. therefore
/, John ]. Blaine, governor of Wis
consin, do proclaim Friday, May 9,
as Arbor and Bird Day, and join with
the president in setting aside the
week of April 81 to q as Forest
Protection Week"
Arbor day was delayed this year
because of lateness of the season, i
was said.

WRESTLING MATCH
WAS A HUMMER
r,. Get More Than Their Moneys
! Worth. Italian Heavyweight.
Throws Polish Champion. Y

In contrast with the fake wrest-
r:-g match at Lytle's hall on the
evening of March 8, when Wladek
7bvszko failed to appear against
Penato Gardini, the match last
Fri8av evening between Stanislaus
7bvszko. ex-world's champion, and
oraste Silvano, Italian heavyweight,
was hummer Fans who witnessed
tbe match Friday night got more
than their moneys worth.
In Silvano Old Man Zbyszko
evidently met a worthier opponent
than he had bargained for. Silvano
moi only made Zybby stretch himself
but he pinned the Old Man for the
first fall. The Italian was after the
Pale all the time. The fans were
kent on edge and they declared that
i was one of the best wrestling
matches in many aday.
In spite Of the Poles ability Silvano
broke many holds and when those
present thought that Silvano's
shoulders were surely going to the
mat he would surprise them by
wiggling out of what seemed like
sure holds At one time Zbyszko
had toe hold and apparently tor
tued the Italian severely, but
SIyano held tight and finally broke
the hold and relieved the intense
feeling of the fans for the man
under.
After little more than %
minutes Of wrestling Silvano secured
body hold on Zbyszko and threw
him for the first fall. The Pole
came back with a vengeance and in
four minutes pinned the Italian.
With a fall each they went after
each other hammer and tongs in the
third and final bout. Zbyszko
started in to make short work of it.
SIyano met him more than half
way and the two grapplers furnished
bout that would satisfy any fan.
The Old Man finally secured a crotch
and half Nelson and downed Silvano
in Il minutes.
Fearing another repetition of the
outcome of the previous show many
fans stayed away last Friday. Even
50 there was a good crowd in at
tendance, although the advance
e ticket sale was almost nil.
The night before Zbyszko wrestled
at Rhinelander and Saturday night
appeared at Ladysmith.

GRANDSTAND IS
BLOWN DOWN
Heavy Wind Wednesday Forenoon
Caught the Structure and Tipped
II Onto the Street

The Hurley ball club suffered
heavy damage at the hands of the
storm Wednesday forenoon when
the grandstand at the ball park was
blown down.
A sudden gust of wind from the
south caught the roof and tipped the
grandstand onto Copper street, roll
ing it over twice, and reducing it
almost into kindling wood. Timbers,
planks and boards used in con
structing the stand were broken and
smashed and pieces were strewn for
many feet around. 1t is a question
whether much of the lumber can be
salvaged.
A boy driving milkwagon for
Henry Peterson, local farmer,
parked" his horse and wagon on
the leeward side of the stand.
When the crash came the horse
evidently made a sudden leap and
escaped injury, jumping out of the
harness and leaving the wagon
covered in the mass of debris. How
the horse escaped being crushed is
miracle.
The grandstand which was wreck
ed Wednesday forenoon was erected
two years ago to replace one that
met a similar fate. Last year inn
provements to the stand, including a
composition roof, were made. The
entire cost of the stand was in the
neighborhood of $1,000.
Coming at time when prepare
tions are being made to open the
local baseball season the loss of the
grandstand is a severe blow TO the
ball club. Steps to build another
grandstand will probably be taken at
meeting of the club officers,
players and fans at $3.50 Sunday
afternoon in the Legion rooms.
A Hurley fan was heard yesterday
to advance the opinion that in view
of the fact that two grandstands at
the local ball park have been wreck
ed by storms steps should be taken
to erect a more sturdy and per-
manent structure. His contention
is that concrete should be used in
building the supporting structure,
thus making il more secure and less
liable to damage by winds.

KILLED BY
SWITCH ENGINE
Eight-Year-Old Girl Meets Death
Saturday Morning at Fourth
Avenue Railroad Crossing.

After waiting for a freight train
to pass Bessie, eight-year-old daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. Michael Klosno,
was run down by a switch engine
and a instantly killed at the Chicago
G. Northwestern Fourth avenue
crossing Saturday morning. The
accident occurred shortly after z
o'clock.
Bessie was on an errand to town
for her mother. When she reached
the Fourth avenue crossing of the
Northwestern railroad freight
train. going east, was passing. With
number of others Bessie waited for
the freight to pass, and as soon as
the caboose of the freight train
passed the crossing she started to
cross just as a switch engine was
backing up, going west. Apparently
the child did not see or hear the
switch engine, which was travelling
at slow rate of speed When she
did see the engine she was unable to
save herself and was ocked under
the wheels and her body nearly
cut in two.
Had Joseph Babich, a witness of
the accident, been able to get hold Of
the child her life might have been
saved. Babich was one of the group
that was standing at the crossing
waiting for the trains to pass. He
declares that when he realized the
danger the child was in he made
frantic effort to grab hold OF her, at
the same time trying to attract the
attention of the engineer. But even
though the switch engine was travel
ing slowly it all happened so quickly
that he was unable to reach the child
before she was struck by the engine.
The accident occurred before the
crossing Waterman had gone on duty.
The Waterman goes on duty at
8 o'clock.
The body was removed to Char
bonneau's undertaking rooms. An
inquest will be held next week. The
funeral was held Sunday Afternoon
from the Serbian church in Iron
wood.

EIGHTEEN MONTHS
AT LEAVENWORTH
Dominic Gianoola, Former Hurley
Resident, Captured in New York
and Sentenced to Prison.
and Sentenced to Prison.

Dominic Giancola, former Hurley
deputy sheriff and a resident of this
city for many years, was sentenced
in federal court at Madison Monday
to Is months in the federal prison at
Leavenworth, Kan, according to a
Madison press dispatch. The sent
ence was imposed by Judge C. 2.
Luse on charge of selling liquor.
Giancola was arrested with a
number of other Hurleyities in raids
made here by federal officers last
August. lie was bound over to the
federal court for trial by U. S.
Commissioner Walter S. Kate of
Ashland.
The Hurley liquor cases were
among those which came up in the
February term of federal court at
Superior, including that of Giancola,
who was indicted on seven counts
charging violations of liquor laws.
Giancola's case was called on a
Saturday and when the defendant
failed to appear his case was ad-
journed to the following Monday.
Again Giancola failed to appear,
whereupon Judge Luse issued q
bench warrant for his arrest and
ordered his bail bond of $4,000
forfeited. Louis Santini, local
garage man, went bond for Giancola.
A deputy United States marshal
came to Hurley with the warrant for
Giancola's arrest but his man had
disappeared. Last week he was
arrested at New York, brought back
to Madison and taken before Judge
Luse, who sentenced Giancola to 10
months in federal prison. 1t is
believed that after leaving Hurley
Giancola went to Canada.

MANY DIVORCES
LAST YEAR
More Divorces in Wisconsin Last
Year Than in Amy Previous
Year Except One.

Madison-With one exception the
Wisconsin divorce rate for 1923 was
the highest of any year in the history
of the state, with percentage of
1875. This was equivalent to one
divorce to every eight marriages
for that year. The figures, as
tabulated by the state bureau of
vital statistics, are for the year end
ing Sept. 30, 1923, when 2,21O
divorces and 1876 marriages were
recorded.
In the only year when this rate
was exceeded-191S-the higher
divorce prevalence was attributed
to large falling off in marriages
due to the war, with no great drop in
divorces
Cruelty and allied actionable
causes stood highest in the list of
divorces grounds, 1,l16 DEGREES
issuing for these reasons. Desertion
was second with 554, followed by
non-support $50, drunkenness, as,
adultery, AZ, fraud in marriage, SO,
voluntary separation, %, and inn
prisonment, 8. Although cruelty
was given by most plaintiffs as the
complaint, this did not represent the
real cause in all cases.
The first four years were fatal to
the hopes of the largest group, 1853
marriages being severed during that
period The next longest marriage
duration was five to nine years, in
which class 46S divorced couples
were grouped. Four hundred fifty
two couples lived together for
periods all the way from 10 to 10
years. Then came lao couples who
stuck for from 20 to 20 years, 116
who parted company in less than one
year, and 210 who did so in less than
six months. Forty-nine marriages
lasted 80 years or longer before
being dissolved In the case of one
family of eleven children, the
husband received a decree on his
complaint of cruel and inhuman
treatment.
A significant fact is that 482 cases,

childless. Alimony was asked by
921, and granted to $50 The
great majority of the parties were
native born. Five hundred sixty
seven of the women reported having
a gainful occupation, to which they
might return.
Basic causes for the alarming in
crease in divorces were enumerated
by Prof. C. G. Dittmer, Of the soeiol-
ogy department of the university, in
a recent capitol lecture, as "the
letting down of legal barriers, late
marriages, decay of religious control,
expensive standards Of living, and
the emancipation Of women" But
the biggest cause ofNall he declared,
is 'our irrational method of choosing
mates"
Prof. Dittmer's studies led to the
conclusion that the farmers have the
lowest divorce rate tone out Of 24).
and travelling men one out of nine.
His conclusions that most divorces
are gotten before the fifth year
correspond with the latest Wisconsin
figures. His remedies are uniform
divorce laws, stricter marriage laws,
publishing of banns, legal or relig-
ious, and "eugenics" laws which are
enforcible.

JustifyinR Our Existence.

The feeling is growing that higher
demands should be made of groups
than are made of individuals; that
when men and women live together
in communities, they should justify
their existence by worthy ac-
complishments.
The principle which makes higher
demands of groups than of individ-
uals is recognized in our laws against
conspiracy. Frequently individuals
can do that which collective bodies
may not do.
Any individual may fritter away
his time about as he pleases, but it
is the popular verdict that when peo-
pie spend their lives together, their
time here on earth is wasted if they
do not make an effort to improve
conditions and prepare the coming
generation for useful citizenship.
There is justice in this verdict, be-
cause any community that does not
grow and improve will eventually
waste away and the people who are
at the helm now, the citizens whose
opinions are respected and whose
leadership will be followed, should
feel that they have a very grave re-
sponsibility.-Ex,

feet. The moose head was billed
