A MOribund League.

Why doesn't the league of nations,
supposed to stand for right and JUS
tice and against suppression, rise up
on it's hind legs and demand that the
French and Spanish leave the Moors
of North Africa alone? 1t seems ap-
parent that all the Moors are doing
is to fight for their rather barren
Fatherland. And Christian nations,
supposed to set good example to
the Heather, are numbering, bombing,
pilIaging and wrecking for purely
mercenary purposes.
1t is a good test of the league. And
the league hasn't let out peep in
denouncing a rotten deal. Incidentally,
the league is to sift the Mosul GUST
ing of Christians from Turkish terri
tory Draw your conclusions and then
reflect on how this appeals to Orien-
tails.

Starvation of forest resources.

servation of forest resources.
In Great Britain, for instance, great
areas of woodland exist. The country
side is dotted and made more beauti-
full by forest growth. When we remem-
Der that the country has been popu-
lated for more than twenty centuries
we begin to marvel at the immense
stretches of forest. Great Britain is
far more densely forested than the
settled part of Wisconsin.
One thing is a natural love for trees
among the residents. Trees 600 years
old acquire a great deal of dignity
and beauty And another aid is the
law. When you chop tree down in
Great Britain you plant two.
A pretty good system.

Our Side Doesn't Stick.


The writer used to think that once
Tia Toilette passed on his ranks would
scatter in the mad scramble for the
mantle. We used to think that sooner
or later the machine would break and
that orr side could nose in and get a
toe-hOld.
Which shows we thougnt very
wrong.
From present appearances the dis
solution is all on our side. Three anti
La Toilette candidates against one on
the other side is a poor way to break
any machine The results are fore
ordained.
We have always believed that our
side, if true to itself and its principles
could and would give the people OF
this state a better, cheaper and above
all less of a meddlesone Matty gov
eminent. Because we honestly and
sincerely think this we have STUCK 10
our side, always reserving the right
to support man or principle even
though they lay across the field.
But our side can't get together. We
scatter our energies. We support
three or four candidates instead OF
uniting on one. So we lose.

both sides, must always be allowed.
Our side has considered the term "Pro-
gressive" as being purely self-styled
and labeled, the alleged forward minds
among us not having to prove it as
they admitted it. In many phases we
consider them as dangerously reac-
tionary. We think they are poor econ
omists whose ideas, if they had sway,
would wreck the country. We agree
they are fine politicians and able to
hold their machine to a solid front.
But we dislike the hypocrisy of posing
for thirty years or so as public defen-
ders while the real purpose seems to
be maintaining the hold on patronage
and power. There is no sentiment
or buncombe when it comes to passing
around the pie.
Our side had a chance and we threw
it away. We lost and we deserved to
lose Expensive government, dema-
goguery and tub-thumping will con-
tinue in Wisconsin.

SchnnI Secession.

that in seeding from the Lancaster
school district the farmers are taxing
steps such as might be expected.
It is only human nature for any OF
IFS to seek relief from burdens. Ana
in all candor we have always thought
the burden imposed upon some farm
ers in our district was altogether 100
severe. In fact more than they could
proftably bear.
Too heavy tax has result OF de-
creasing net revenue and also actual
Nv decreasing the value of place be
cause it imposes a fixed overhead
which must be considered by buyer.
Instead of being an advantage to be IN
the district it becomes a handicap as
COMPARED to a neighbor who is just
over the line even though the latter
NAV have the poorer land.
The Herald has always taken the
view that injustice is injustice whether
at home or abroad. In opposing 1t
abroad we were chided by some who
insisted that our birds would come
home to roost and that, to change the
smile. we could not stand our own
OK being gored. That our local OK is
receiving severe punishment does not
change the viewpoint.
Be that as it may and admitting
that the farmers are doing what any
of us would do if too heavily assessed,
the fundamentals of the situation do
not change. 1t is a fact that we have
plunged heavily on school equipment:
We have plant and system second
to none in the state. Instead of crying
about it and the burdens which ma
turally follow, we are proud of it.
But in keeping up with the times
and in maintaining an educational
center for a large area people OF any
small community are carrying too
heavy a burden. Relief must follow IN
some form or another. 1t is only falI
that the centers be allowed either ade-
ouate tuition or some form of state
aid.
And until that comes the burden OF
injustice is not solved by school DIS
solutions 1t is merely shifted.

Wisconsin's Salary List.

WiScOnSin'S Salary List.
A friend told us the other day that
Wisconsin was the best governed
state in the Union. We do not Know
about that. But if he said the most
governed" we would have concurred
most heartily.
A peep at Wisconsin's salary llst is
hard to get. Gov. Blaine refused to al
low the placing of the figures IN the
Blue Book. On reliable authority we
take the following:
The total salary cost in Wisconsin
for state officials was in 1900 $541,-
1854. In 1924 it was $4,129,012.SS.
In 1900 there were only public Of
ficers who received over $4,000 salary;
IS people who received between $4O0O
and $4,000; people who received be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000; 9 people who
received between $4,000 and 5000 ana
Sc people who received between $1,000
and $4,000 In 1924 there were so peo-
ple who received $4,000 or over; "a
people who received $4,000 to S5OOO;
ZIG people who received $4,000 to
$4,000; 345 people who received $4,000

Austria Claims Typewriter

1t is customary in this country to
regard the typewriter as an American
invention. Austria disputes this
claim. A memorial tablet has been
unveiled on the house Of Peter Nit.
terdorfer, at Innsbruck, who 1t is
maintained was the real inventor of
the typewriter, says the Pathfinder
Magazine.
Mitterdorfer, who was born In 1922,
settled at Innsbruck when he was
about forty years old and began to
work on his invention. Two years
later he completed his first typewriter.
a queer machine made Of wood. leath:
er. wire and gut strings. Those who
contend that he was the real inventor
of the typewriter say this machine
was found In Mitterdorfer's attic Al
years later. According to the. Aus
trian version Of the story, an Ameri-
can named Carlos Glidden saw the
Mitterdorfer model at the Imperial
Polytechnic institute at Vienna, copied
1t and in 1857 constructed a machine
on the same plan. This he did in con-
junction with @. Latham Shoals and
S. w. Spule Of Milwaukee.

THE SALT HABIT

SSCALT is good" said Christ to his
~ disciples in one Of the parallels
Evidently most races of men believe
so. Friday in Robinson Crusoe's is
land, had to learn to eat 1t, as most
primitive people do. Steffanson, tells
in his Friendly Arctic Of finding a
tribe OF EsQuimos who had never
tasted either sugar or salt and to
whom both were so disagreeable that
they would not eat any food which
had a particle Of either one in it.
A certain amount of salt is evil
IDENTIFY needed by the body and is Of
benefit. But some people have formed
the habit Of eating 1t to excess. either
in their food or straight" This is a
habit just like the alcohol habit, the
tobacco habit, or any of the other
curious habits that men form.
What harm does 1t do, you ask !?
Well, salt is not only a seasoning, it
is also combination of equal parts
of two powerful chemicals. sodium
and chloride. The blood under normal
conditions has a certain amount Of
salt. as can easily he proven when
you have tooth pulled or your lip
or tongue cut. You recognize rat once
that the blood which fills your mouth
has salty taste. If the body gets
more salt than it needs. then the ex-
cess must be excreted by the kidneys.
they become irritated and If this is
kept up there is continued irritation.
Another objection to too much salt
or salty food is that salt always
creates thirst. The foxy bartender
knew this. He put salt fish and salt
pickles and salty popcorn on the bar
as free lunch, knowing that he'd get
1t all back IN the increased drinks
his thirsty customers would order.
The more water we drink the more
fluid there Is for the kidneys and the
heart to handle. People who eat large
amounts Of salt also generally eat
pickles. spices. hot relishes and sauces,
and so have to drink large quantities
Of some kind of fluid to quench their.
thirst. All that means more work and
more irritation for the heart and kid
neys.
A reasonable amount OF salt is prob
ably not only harmless but neces-
sary. But like all good things. 1t can
be carried to excess. Don't get the
salt habit, don't overload your food
with unnecessary seasoning. AS boys
say in their games "All that goes up
must come down" so remember this
about the body, that all that goes in
must come out and sometimes it does
more harm getting out then 1t did
getting in.

English Pearls to America

There is a growing demand in Amer.
lea for English pearls. It Is said by
experts here that transactions in cost
ly ropes Of pearls are more frequent
now than for decade. Many persons
have been under the impression that
there was no money In England for
costly jewels, but the dealers say that
wealthy manufacturers from the prov
inces are still good customers. Amer.
lean dealers are buying up jewels that
have been given up by the British
aristocracy. Ropes Of real pearls are
seldom worn nowadays except on
great occasions. Even the wealthiest
women hesitate to appear with neck
laces costing 5000 or more, especial
ly when thieves operate every night in
the theater district. As rule, the
owners wear limitations Of their costly
possessions.

Blighting Of Trees
Is Easy to Prevent
Gather and Burn All Dead
Leaves Before Spring.

'The sudden blighting or browning
of the leaves Of horse chestnut and
maple trees is no cause for alarm, as
ctrtain simple measures will prevent
a recurrence of the difficulty" says
C. M. Haenseler, assistant in plant
breeding at the New Jersey agricul-
tural experiment station.
1.-THE blighting Of the horse chestnut
is caused by parasite which over
winters on fallen leaves killed by the
fungus the previous year. The spores
Of the parasite mature on these dead
leaves in the spring, and in moist
weather they are scattered to the
newly formed leaves Of the lower
branches. The way to control the dis
ease is to gather and burn all horse
chestnut leaves before spring. To be
effective the job must be very thor
ough.
''In severe cases of leaf blight the
yigor of the tree Is considerably low
cred through loss Of foliage, but the
disease Is never fatal.
Most Of the leaf blighting of maple
reported throughout the state has been
caused by unfayorable weather condi
tons and not by a fungus. A season
of plentiful rain and rapid growth fol
lowed by few days Of extreme dry
heat or by drying winds will Otter
result in burning of the leaves. Usu
ally 1t is only the trees with poor root
systems that are affected in this way
"The remedy Is to stimulate great
er root growth by cultivation and ma
nuring to supply moisture artifcially
or to remove few limbs SO that the
balance between roots and leaves will
be more nearly equal"

Killing Weevil in Seed
Peas and Beans Is Easy

The insects which attack peas and
beans can be killed by treating with
carbon bisulphid. which can be Sc
cured at drug store. 1t is very in
fiammable and must be used with
care. Place the beans in a tight vessel
of some kind and put a little Of the
bisulphid on top Of them and cover
the vessel. You can calculate how
much Of the bisulphid you need to
use for the size of the vessel you
use, as 1t needs about one pound of
bisulphid for 100 cubic feet Of space.
1t is best also to dry the beans or
peas quite dry, so they will keep
better II dried with heat, not let
ting the temperature get above 125
degrees the peas will not be injured
for seed purposes and the weevil will
be killed.
