Free State Leader
 COngratulates Nationalist

Belfast, April 1o.--President Cos grave of the Irish Free State cabi- net has written a letter to Joseph Devlin, the Nationalist leader. con- graduating him on his success in the Ulster parliamentary elections last week.
 T am convinced" says Cosgrave, that the victories which have been won by the exertions of the northern Nationalists have appreciably ex- pedited attainment of the ideal of s united, prosperous Ireland. in which the good of every citizen will be the aim of all.
 Your victory and that of your colleagues greatly strengthened the hands of all those who are working for the establishment and develop ment of the Irish Free State on the firm basis of the settlement made with Great Britain and embodied in the treaty"

U. s. EMPHATIC IN
 DENYING REPORTS
Has No Objections Of New Russo.
 Jap OH Land Treaty

Washington, April 1o,--Published reports that the Washington govern ment views with suspicion and dis trust oil concession provisions of the new Russo-Japanese treaty are caus- ing great concern to high officials of the administration. It can be stated on unquestionable authority that such publications are without any foundations in fact. A formal declaration to that effect may be considered necessary should mis- statements as to the government continue to be circulated.
 The question as to the nature and purpose of the oil concessions grant ed to Japanese interests by the trea- ty has come before the Washington government only on the strength of briefs submitted in behalf of the previous. concession obtained by the Sinclair oil interests in 1929 from the Far Eastern republic in Siberia, which is now part of the soviet Russian government. The Sinclair concession was recently held invalid by courts of the first instance in Russia. @ Was Diplomatic Lever
 Examination of the supplementary conditions of that concession by gov ernment officials here, however. has disclosed that 1t was unques- tionably entered into by the far east ern republic for the specific pur- pose of employing it as a leverage to compel diplomatic recognition of the soviet Russian regime by the United States. ..
 The concession itself covered some five. hundred square miles of prov. ed or probable oil lands in northern sakhalin. It was negotiated and ra- tified during the period of Japanese

FIGHTING IN ITALY
Street Clashes Between Fascist and
 Communists Reported in Various


 By The Associated Presa
 Rome, April 1o.-Clsshes and street fighting between fascists and communists continue to be reported from various Italian centers, par ticularly from Biella and Ruvo, while the tension of the whole poli- tical situation has been aggravated by the death of the fascist who was shot in a pistol fight at Bari yester- day. Three more fascists are re- ported seriously injured in the latest attacks by communists.
 Deputy Roberto Farinacci, secre. tary of the fascist party, has issued manifesto ordering no reprsals to be made, but calling upon the gov ernment for immediate and drastic steps to be taken.
 He asks that restricted domicile for political offenders be enforced, and that those responsible for the recent attacks be banished. The clashes are partly due to a double murder at Bologna. where B fascist was killed and a communist later was slain, as a reprisal.
 Farinacci's statement urges ac- ton against communist leaders as well as the actual perpetrators of'the attacks. and at the same time he or. ders his fascist ranks to strengthen the governments hand by refraining from reprisals.

 Suspicious Clauses
 Coupled to the Sinclair conces- sion. however. are two clauses which are regarded by high admin istration officials as disclosing the real purpose of tho Russian authori- ties In granting the concession and tho probable underlying motive for recent agitation in the United States In connection with tho supplanting of the Sinclair concession by that to Japanese interests. The first clause, which occurs in the agree ment itself. sets out that the Far Eastern republic retains tho right to cancel the concession during the first year if "the government b convinced from any acts or declarations of the government of the United States of America that the latter will not give support to the company in its execu- ton of the said concession agree ment."
 Right to Annul
 The second clause occurs in the supplemental agreement negotiated January 2. 1922, and ratified by the soviet government on January 3, 1923. It also reserves the right of the government to annul the con- cession If at the end of the fifth year after the date of signing the supplemental agreement, there are not established normal official rela- tons between the United States of AmerEa and the Far Eastern re- publics in the form of judicial recognition Recognition de jure) of the government of the Far Eastern republics on the part of the United States of America"
 lt Is because or these stipulations that the Washington government has looked with suspicion upon the motives of the Sinclair concession ever since 1t obtained copies of the agreement and the supplemental agreement. Presentations made in behalf of the concessionaire by coun- sel are being considered in the light of these stipulations.

There is such a thing as over
doing it, however, and we believe
that that point has been reached.
Why should we continue program
that is admittedly expensive and
REQUIRES an increased tax budget
each year when other states are
trying to undermine us through a
lack of vision? Our constitution
provides that we cannot bond the
state of Wisconsin. This means
that we cannot put excessive bur-
dens in mortgages upon the future
citizenship, but, on the other hand,
is it fair and equitable that present.
day citizens should pay what right
fully should be paid by those who
come after? For instance, every
state building that is erected, every
normal school, in fact, every i'm
provement, must be met by an APP
preparation before work can be
commenced. It means burdens for
today, while in many of the other
states the future citizens will have
to pay for this lack of business
Judgment and for the improve
ments that have been neglected.
mo one is going to DE able to
escape the responsibilities of citi-
zenship. You can't get away from
paying your just portion of the ex-
penses of government. They may
be shifted for a time, or deferred,
but as sure as the sun will rise to-
morrow morning you will have to
pay eventually. You can't initiate
the values of land or personal prop
erty and expect permanent results.
There will be rise and fall of the
market dependent upon what you
put into a commonwealth, and the
stability Of an investment in the
long run is based upon the founda-
ton work. That is why Wisconsin
will be state Of opportunity when
other states, inflated and doomed,
will have seen their best day.
AN investment in Wisconsin re-
sorts today is a good one. You can
buy land upon any of the northern
lakes and with a substantial and
steady growth set good returns
upon your investment. There will
be no oil discovered upon the land,
but a state with good roads, won
drous scenery, and national advan-
tages developed by thrift, is a good
guarantee"

1--WE do not desire" the Press
says, Ito say anything that will de-
tract or impair the reputation OF
any other commonwealth in the
league Of forty-eight states making
up the United States, but we are
honestly Of the opinion that Wis
consin offers advantages and oppor-
tunities unexcelled by any of the
other states. We do not wish to
take away from Florida or Califor-
MIA any of the glories achieved as
winter resorts, but for all-year-
round climate conditions, with a
shifting of scenery lending beauty,
Wisconsin is the premier state.
During the summer months
when the temperature hovers near
100, with a tropical sun that makes
life burden in the south, you can
journey into picturesque Wiscon-
sin, and famed by the cool breezes
off thousands Of lakes, enjoy real
recreation.
There isn't resident in this
state who, down in his heart, does
not believe that Wisconsin has adj
vantages over every other state in
the union, and yet we hear so much
complaint by those who are prone
to criticize and love to preach
hatred and envy against our form
of government.
Wisconsin, with all it's short
comings they are many in the
matter Of state legislation-is pro-
gressive almost to the point of dan
ger. We believe in the improve
ment of our highways, identifying
of our parks, building of elaborate
schools, and as to the latter sew
enty-fve per cent Of all the taxes
raised in Wisconsin by municipal
tiles goes into education. So long
as we run in high gear, stimulating
education to the point that we do,
we are going to have those taxa
ton burdens, but out of it will
come a better fabric of citizenship.
We cannot expect that we can have
all of these advantages without
paying for them, and when we see
visitors by the thousands stream
ing into our state during the sum-
mer season, lauding Wisconsin be-
cause of its progressive spirit in
the matter of road building and of
identifying it's parks, we are to
some extent compensated for the
taxes we pay.

Yes, We Have No Rats.

Rats living about the farmyard
of home near Eureka Lake, Kan
sas, were recently given taste of
modern warfare by representative
of the Biological Survey Of the
United States Department of Agri-
culture, cooperating with the ex-
tension service of the agricultural
college, whose time is given to rat
control work and the demonstra-
ton of the best means of eliminat-
ing this pest. Such delicacies as
canned salmon, apples, and fresh
eggs served in the half shell, sea-
soned with barium carbonate, were
first rationed out along the known
runways and haunts of the rats.
Then came a gas attack for those
that had survived. A small hand
buster loaded with calcium cyanide
dust was used for casing all the
burrows and hiding places. Some
of the rats plunged into the dust
barrage only to die at the opera
tors feet. A week later the gas
treatment was repeated, and the
premises are now reported abso-
lutely free of rats.

Audiences in two Wisconsin
cities, Milwaukee and Madison,
heard this story:
A man dug in a clay bank near
Kingsville, Canada, on the north
shore Of Lake Erie. He was a brick
maker. He saw migrating geese fly
over him He began to think, and
determined to bring those geese
down-with kindness, not with a
gun.
He enlarged the hole in the clay,
pumped muddy water into it and
scattered corn. He waited three
years. Then the geese came down.
Only nine came the first year. The
next year there were 80; then 300.
Last season 5000 were on that one
little puddle in the clay; and so
many more on other pools that
nobody could count them.
The man is Jack Miner. Today
he has the most remarkable wild
life reserve in the world. All kinds
of birds come out Of the air to find

I'VE Must Not Sell WiSconSin "

Since the Villas County News started campaign of
selling Wisconsin recreational and agricultural in
vesment and since it emphasized the point NOT to sell
the state the way many of the people WISH have been
reading a number Of comments what we published.
That the News is right is shown by those level
headed business people of the state who have the best in
terests at heart who now preach selling Wisconsin right
by telling honestly of her available assets.
Charles Broughton Of the Sheboygan Press believes
in Wisconsin the Villas County News EDITOR he be-
lieves there are many wrong ways in selling and in
that he is right He also shows that not advanc
ing our states real interests we should and makes

definite effects on human character,
human relations, human enjoyment
of its own life.
Wisconsin needs wild life, which
includes tree life and other plant
life. Bricks and cement are bar
rem; amid them men become hard.
Jens Jensen, famous artist, sum-
mering in Eoor county, recently
told Wisconsin that her scenery
trees and flowers are responsible
for her wonderful men and women.
Maybe that is so. Many of the
worlds greatest successes, even in
business, grew up near nature,
their characters shaped by contact
with wild things.
Wisconsin can do, in many places,
what Jack Miner did on his clay
puddle, near Kingsville, Canada.
But instead of playing politics with
or destroying or exploiting all her
natural resources Wisconsin must
first earnestly cherish some of
them. Then she can bring life and
beauty down out of the air-not
with guns but with thought and
little kindness. Milwaukee Jour

Women Getting Interested.


Wisconsin women met in Green
Bay recently, then returned to
their homes everywhere in the
state, much interested in conserva-
ton.
They want to protect and save
natural resources forests, lakes,
streams, and scenery. They think
beauty is worth something. They
are right-more right than men
who believe that practical use"
implies destruction that industry
and decent regard for natural
loneliness cannot go together. They
can.
One of the women, now back in
her home town and thinking much
about the meeting in Green Bay,
writes:
What practical things can the
women in our community do for
conservation? Will planting trees
in the school yard help?
No because the aroused women
in community can do so much
more than plant few trees in a
school yard.
Plant a town forest" Half the
women, in half the towns of New
England, are doing that. They
have made enough town forests to
insure firewood and, later, lumber
for the people Of their commun-
tiles.
Plant nursery of Christmas
trees. Christmas trees are balsams.
By starting with few or 4-year-
old trees, more l or 2 year-olds,
several thousand seedlings, your
nursery will be producing Christ
mas trees in a few years. Soon
your town no longer will be in the
market for the slaughtered balsams
from the forests-not serious part
Of the forest problem, perhaps, but
serious enough to warrant Christ
mas tree nurseries.
Teach boys that shoot and kill no
longer is the finest boyish achieve
ment. Once boys needed to know
about shooting because savage red
men or savage forest creatures
might have harmed them. That
was rs or 100 years ago. Today the
boy or man who still thinks killing
is virtue or that it builds char
acter is behind the times. Teacn
boys to shoot with camera.
Talk to men about their factories
polluting streams; to engineers
about their schemes to drain the
marshes; to lumbermen about their
crews, needlessly destroying young
rees; to legislators about laws to
give protection. Finally TALK
WITH THE BALLOT to politicians
who think more about themselves
than about their state. That is
most important of all.
Those are few things women
can do: there are many more

BRIGHT FUTURE SEEN FOR
 COAL INDUSTRY, cORDOVA

Alaska's coal industry has a bright future ahead, in the opinion of 0. P. Hood, chief mechanical engineer with the bureau of mines, who was here today with his wife waiting to take the Alaska south. MT. Hood is a fuel expert and makes his head quarters in Washington, D. c. He came in two weeks ago to examine the Healy River and Matanuska coal fields, then went over the Richard son Highway to Chitina and Kenne- colt.
 Mr. Hood said the Healy River coal vein was the most spectacular formation of it's kind he had ever seen.
 "Alaskans should be patient with their coal" he said. Those who are developing the fields are finding out new things constantly and are steadily improving the quality of the output.
 There is no doubt but what Alas ka has fuel problem. We have lots of evidence that there is plenty of coal in the ground and there is no doubt but what it can be develop ed later. The territory is fortunate in having fuel supply to rely on when wood gradually becomes more expensive. There will be numerous. openings for development and Alas ka will have various coals to pick from. Whether there will be a large industry depends on the outside market"
 MT. Hood will go to San Francisco to do some work on fuels before returning to the east. His whole trip is covering about two months.
