After what seemed to be a success
ful attempt to delay and defeat ac
tion, the resolution condemning Sen
ator La Folleitte ci paused by a vote
o 6 to 32 in the Mate Assembly of
Wisconsin. Tl.o sreolution as
passed by the S.nuU a week ago,
and by the Aueinbly, follows:
"The people of tiio State of Wis
consin always have stood and always
wall suvjid behind the National Gov
ernment in all things which are es
sential to bring the present war to a
suocessfui end and we condemn Sen
ator RoUrt La Follette and all oth
ers who have failed to see the right
eousness of our nation's cause, who
have failed to support our Govern
ment in matters vital to the wirning
of the war, and we denounce any at
titude or uttetunce of theirs which
has tended to incite sedition among
the people of the country and to
injure Winconsin's fair name before
the free people of the world."

Owen Is attached to the Forty-ninth

"All we can do Is to say, "Let the bat

"Every one Is anticipating a big Ger

German Tactics Simple,
"I do not think that we are at the
last ditch by any means. We have
been In tight corners before, and will
no doubt sweep our way out of the

would, however, make It fairly stiff

"I doubt, however, if the German Is
really sutllelently strong to do this:

Job this winter, or he never will, and

PRICES JUMP IN 25 YEARS
Wisconsin Farmer Makes Interesting
Comparison Between Prices In

Portwge, Wis. E. It Studenmayer,
who has been engaged In farming In
this locality for the past quarter of a
century, hua made a comparison be
tween prices prevalent In 13i2 and
those of 1014. Here's what he foond:
Hogs In Wi were 2.SK, now $10;
cattle $i.r, now $10; rye 40 cents, now
$1.85; wheat 43 cents, now $2.20; po
tatoes 10 cents, now $1 ; butter 15
cents, now W cents ; egs 8 cents, bow
42 cents; cord wood $2..V, now $7.S0;
bran $1. now $N); hoy $5, now $),
and oats 13 cents, now 75 cents. The
farmer says these are only a few of
the changes, and while agriculturists
are obtaining decidedly better prices
than 25 yt rs ogo. they are comiielled
to pay more for what they buy.
