THE SAVING IN LIGHT.

The benefits of single time

can people using it-~that portion
which now keeps central and noun

least 10000 900 people would thus
save the use of artificial light one
hour every day in the year This
saying would be one cent a day. or
a total Of 100000 daily for all the
people, and in one year this saving
will amount to 365 times that sum

To ACCUMULATE
WIS. WAR HISTORY
STATE COMMISSION DECIDES TO
HAVE VARIOUS MONOGRAPHS
PREPARED.
PRIVATE LETTERS WRITTEN BY
SOLDIERS DURING THE RE-
5ELLIoN SOUGHT.
Madison, July Il

Madison, July 10.
The Wisconsin history commission,
organized under authority of the leg
islature for working up the history of
the part played by Wisconsin in the
war of secession, met here yesterday
to plan for the coming year. Those
present We're:
Assemblyman C. E. Estabrook, chair
man. representing G. A. R. interests.
Professor Frederick j. Turner, head
Of history department of university.
DR.. Reuben G Thwaites, superin-
tendent of state historical society.
Henry f. Legler. secretary of free
library commission.
Governor Davidson, the other mem
Der, is absent on tour with the state
fish commission.
1t was decided to engage a graduate
student of the university to prepare
a monograph on the economic and So
cial life of Wisconsin at the opening
of the war. This doubtless will be
supplemented by monograph, by an
other hand on the effect of the war on
Wisconsin's social and industrial in
terests The writer's will be selected
from among several students in
American history, whose names now
are under consider ton, and they will
be expected to devote a large share
of their time TO the study of these in
teresting problems.
The great Importance of the relief
work of Wisconsin women during the
war, particularly ON sanitary and
christian commissions, and in field
nursing. was also discussed at some
length. 1t was arranged to engage
some similar graduate student TO
undertake a scientific historical study
of this phase of Wisconsin's activities
in the war 1t is understood that a
highly competent young lady has al
ready been selected for the task, but
members of the commission are not
prepared to announce her name.
During the present summer mem
bers of the commission will person
ally engage in a search for letters
written by Wisconsin soldiers dur
ing the war, or by other persons
concerning Wisconsin's deeds there
in. 1t is thought that a considerable
BODY of such correspondence must
be in existence. and that some OF
the letters may be worthy of puhll-
cation by the commission. Persons
owning letters of this character are
requested to communicate that fact
to the editor of the commission, Dr,
r. G. Thwaites, at Madison, who
will take up the matter with them.
1t is understood that in undertake
ing to publish interesting letters OF
this kind, nothing Of a private ma.
ture will appear in print that the
owner of the letters might wish to
be excluded; the commission may be
safely relied on to exercise due dis.
erection in these matters.
