eastern state. It's worth reproducing, as
statement of man who resents the foolish
ness of Wisconsin.
The letter is addressed to Kenosha indus
try which boasts of being one of the largest
of it's kind in the nation. 1t is an industry
which makes an honest product and sells it at
a fair price but it's office is in Wisconsin. The
letter tells the story better than we could hope
to tell it. Speaking of nationally published
advertisement of this Kenosha company the
writer says:
''It is attractive, lucid, instructive. 1t
creates desire to buy, but when one reads to
the bottom and finds that your product is made
in Wisconsin, it at least makes one hesitate
for there stands Wisconsin, blot on the map
of our country.
"She alone of all the states in the union
rolls up majority for radical renegade can
Edidate for president.
wisconsin is rich and prosperous. Her
people should be happy and contented They
have sound reason for wanting to change
our form of government, yet she stands alone
lin voting for what is conceded by the great
majority of our countrynen and women to be
a policy of destruction
''Well may LaFollette have the support of
such men as Berger, Gonpers, Debs and the
socialist-radical renegade combination. And
there stands Wisconsin. It's the most deplor-
able thing in our political history and we of the
FEAST are wondering why the people of Wiscon-
sin, who have prospered beyond measure, I'M
der our present form of government want to
put the business of the nation into the hands
of such men. 1t makes us lose faith in Wis
consin and all it's works.
''The people are thinking lot these days.
Last week in New York large order for
plumbing supplies, slated for Wisconsin was
switched to firm in Pennsylvania. Yes, the
people are thinking and possibly they are re-
sentful."
This letter will not appeal to men who make
politics their main aim in life, but it should
have mighty appeal to men and women who
want to retain for Wisconsin the respect and
confidence of the rest of the country. These
people should make an attempt to show to the
rest of the world that the men who make the
good products of Wisconsin are in no way in
sympathy with the bad politics which has been
and which remains a curse to one of the most
prosperous commemorative of the union

PAYING THE PENALTY AGAIN.

We continue to pay the penalty of agitation.
Kenosha may not be in sympathy with the
Wisconsin Idea" as it has come to be known
in the nation but like the innocent by-stander
VINO is usually killed when the shooting starts,
Kenosha is going to be damaged by the fact
that it is part of the one state in the union
which gave it's electoral vote to radicalism and
communism.
Wisconsin made goods are going to suffer
on account of Wisconsin political ideals. Peo-
pie in other states do not like Wisconsin's way
of supporting the plan to break down the
prosperity of the nation. Of course the politi-
cal propagandists will say Its all bunk but

EARTH's MYSTERY STUDIED.

DR.. Henry S. Washington, eminent
chemist, is studying the earth's crust
in Hawaii, hoping to find some clew
as to the mysteries that lie beneath
the Pacific Ocean. He has in mind the
theory that the moon was once part
of the earth and was hurled off mill
lions of years ago, leaving the hole
that is now the Pacific Ocean. An
other theory he is studying is that
the continents of the earth really float
on a semi-liquid river and that they
slowly float about so that in another
million years the appearance of the
earth will be vastly changed. The
lava he believes holds the secret.

Daily Health Hint
STIInYING FOODS.

Studying how and why foods af-
feet the body as they do, Mr.. Mann
of Anyhow found his second lesson
to be concerned with the composition
of foods.
Time has shown that certain ma
terials are most useful as food. The
subdivisions include proteins of diff
ferent varieties, fats and carbohydrates
or starches and sugars. To these we
add water and the mineral salts and
have the basis of all foods. But late
ly science has added vitamins to the
list.
Vitamins are bodies of unknown
nature existing in certain foods and
essential to nutrition. Their chem
ical nature is unknown so they have
become designated as vitamine A. B.
c, etc.
The first two are the "water and
fat solubles" so essential to body nu-
triton, while vitamin is found in
orange and lemon juices and when
they are lacking in diet, scurvy has
been found to result.

Illinois courts have decided that the enthus-

automobile tires to show his authority is not
to come to Wisconsin to face charges against
him. Well, the next best thing is for the in

PRISON.

"Stone walls do not prison make,
nor iron bars a cage" An inmate
of Maryland penitentiary tells War
den Sweeney that he can escape any
time he wants to. Warden tells him
to go ahead and try it. Thirty min
utes later, he telephones from OUT
side the walls, then returns volun-
tarily.
The honor system, applied with
common sense, is the best prison wall.
In time it may be the only wall ex-
cept for the worst cases, notably con-
victs who would imperil the public if
they were at large.

CAT MANS OLDEST PET.

Dogs though probably the closest,
are not by any means the oldest of
mans pets. The cat takes the honor.
The feline pet can be traced back to
1900 B. c. The ancient Egyptians not
only petted the cat, but worshipped
it, and when a household cat died, its
owners mourned as for a human, even
to shaving their eyebrows to show it.
There are many famous cat mummies
In the various museums. In Cairo
there is charity for cats.

Of course if Kenosha is to try most of the
Milwaukee county divorce cases, it is going to
be necessary to have another court here. The
next thing is to find whether Milwaukee or
Kenosha county is going to pay the cost of
that court. When Kenosha wanted to send it's
prisoners to Milwaukee's workhouse, this coun-
ty had to pay and pay royalty. We should
find some way to take the same action in re-
gard to Milwaukee county's divorce actions.

gaze of the fun-making public. History
says it was deterrent to others to a

Massachusetts in the earliest days has
been put to work on the farm at
Round Hills, owned by Col. E. H. R.
Green. Two bushels of corn were
ground in the old hopper by the creak-

century and more old. The meal
will be preserved in glass jar on an
old whaling vessel, also relic of old

STOLEN.

Wall Street gets careless when the
picking is easy. Again you're reading
news items about messengers boys dis
appearing with large bundles of ne
gotiable securities. One lad vanished
with $4,000. He had been hired the
day before and was at large on sus-
pended sentence for stealing an auto.
Weak character should be screened
from temptation as much as possible.
Good way to begin would be to penal
ize employers who are not cautious
enough in selecting employees to be en-
trusted with securities or sach.
