Editorial Comment


when all this fuss is over. all

we will find out that the real trouble
with our national defense. in the air
and everywhere else, is that we have
been unwilling to pay for it. Colonel
Mitchells corruscating condemna-
tons always took on an added I'M
reality every time one remembered
that the War Department--even the
bureaucratic War Department-has
been asking year after year for in
creased appropriations for aviation.
and failing year after year to get
them. 1t must be obvious to any one
who has followed the glowing prom
Uses of the unified air service en-
, thusiasts that the only way their
proposed regeneration of our air
forces could be carried out would be
through scrapping the existing army
and navy, because to fulfil all their
ideas would require a large fraction
of the total amounts which the coun-
try is at present prepared to spend
on national defense OF any kind.
A year ago Secretary Weeks was
pointing to the fact that the army
was living on its capital, and that
the capital, amassed in the war. was
rapidly deteriorating. At that time

British, for purposes Of comparison,
are spending ABOUT $27,000,000 on
construction under their unified

naval bureaucracies which have pre-
vented fuller development of our
aviation services-it Is the cost.

The thoughtful vacationist, touring
along the Atlantic highway, can
hardly fail to note the depressing
areas which are neither woodland,
pasturage, moving fields nor under
tillage. However, much neglected and
overgrown acres may add to Won
drous and picturesque scenery, they
tell nothing of prosperity. Neverthe-
less, there is a good deal Of land ly-
ing out of doors, and while whole
lot Is useless except for scenic pur-
poses there is full supply of arabic
land for those who choose to use It.
In this bailiwick the leading garden
ers are unquestionably Charles Knee
land and his only son, Percy L.
Kneeland. On their Cape Jellison
farm the season is rapidly drawing
to close with the digging of some
500 bushels Of potatoes. They have
40 bushels Of beans harvested. In the
spring they had 10 acres under the
plow, two of which were put into
grain and Hungarian. The eight
acres of market garden products, ex-
elusive of the main crop Of potatoes
and beans, have been disposed of
from their truck at retail. Probably
one of the finest sights in town was
their gardens at the height of the
growing season. incidentally Mr.
Kneeland has a herd Of eight cows
making butter for regular customers
and the indispensable pigs and hens
All this has been accomplished with
out extra help except at haying
which makes 1t needless to add that
no time has been wasted oscillating
the well-known rocking chair, even
by Mrs. Kneeland.--Steckto Springs

ancient farmhouse in winthrop being
used as a temporary shelter for an
over-plus of poultry; that the cut-ca-
da-cut of the biddies reverberates
among the timbers hand-hewn a
century and half ago and that they
nest in a fireplace built to take six
foot firelog and lay eontentedly
among the antiques. Whatever of
antiquity the broilers take on from
their environment it is hoped it will
not affect their edibility, as antique
broilers are not appreciated in the

Boys Wouldn't Fish Before
Season; Man Did; S119

Last Friday, Justice Burrows heard
the case of the state VS.. Ora LaFlash,
Montfort, charged with sharing trout.
The principal witnesses were six
young boys, about IA years of age.
Each told a perfectly straight story,
making hard case for the defendant
to combat.
One of the boys was asked how he
knew they saw LaF1ash snare fish on
the End of May. Because, we wanted
to go fishing on the opening day of
the season, but could not go until the
second day"
That was the clincher, and the de-
PENDANT was convicted The sentence
of the court was fine of $50 and
costs, amounting to $119.04.
In default of payment, defendant
was sentenced to Jail at hard labor
for 80 days, the sheriff to hire him
out, and turn the proceeds over to
the county.

Herald on Tuesday, the heavens
opened and let out the rain. 1t did not
pour, but it was steady drizzle from
Z o'clock in the morning until the
middle of the afternoon. At times a
deluge was threatened, but it did not
come.
A little north of Grant county there
was heavy rainfall Saturday night
before. as we'll as last week Tuesday
In Baraboo the river was put up a
foot by this storm of Saturday. and
then they had another good one on
Tuesday. This may be called unfair
discrimination. Then, on Friday night
came a gentle shower that lasted half
an hour or more followed by radi-
cal change of temperature. No frost
has been heard of-there was too
much moisture for that. Go ahead with
