VETERANS STORY
OF WAR CAREER
Had Learned to Obey, and Con-
sequentIy Successful When
He Came to Command.

TSHE life story of veteran, whose
rise in the commercial field was
from errand boy to head of the
firm, and whose elevation on the bat
tlefield was that from private to cap
tain. He had the old soldiers mod
esty and wariness of bombast, but the
character or the man shows through
his whole explanation. His war rec
ord and his high position in the city's
responsibility speak for themselves.
Before I was twelve years old /
had to go to work somewhere, and,
searching around, found one-dollar-
a-week position in wholesale cloth
ing store. 1t was the old story of 60
ing to work early and quitting late.
AS / grew older and found more
things to do they piled responsibility
upon me. l learned at this point the
things which have made me success
full in later years. 1 developed the
qualities of dispatching duties with
precision and exactness. also learned
to obey orders. When one of the
heads of the firm snapped out some
thing at me did it, and did it quick.
This training was of inestimable value
on the field and helped much in my
promotion.
All the agitation between the North
and South l followed closely in the
papers. | was enthusiastic for the
Union, and when the fort was fired
upon l enlisted. | was then seven
teen. l was young, too young, per
haps, but my body was strong and
well knit for my age, and | suppose
was older in experience than many
of my seniors. l felt at home with
men older than I, mainly because
had developed responsibility and Sc
robustness through hard work from an
early age.
While we we're in camp was made
corporal. 1t was a minor post, but
there were some duties to be per
formed. l went about them quickly
and directly, as l had been trained to
do with all details which crossed my
line of duty. / learned the discipline
and conduct of the camp, to say little,
and to jump when spoken to.
In the Army of the Potomac.
We were ordered from camp and
joined the Army of the Potomac.
was not badly frightened in the first
battle / was simply nervous and
afraid of being afraid. When we re-
ceived orders to charge, however, all
shakiness left me, and / went into
the fray concerned only with doing
what l was told to do.
Through those first campaigns /
was just one Of the rank and file.
Nothing out of the ordinary happened
to me. A bullet cut through my
clothes once, but did not break the
skin. A queer thing about that Incl
dent was that l had silk handker-
chief in my breast pocket and the
bullet, slicing through the folds, put

dropped inside my belt.

and to second lieutenant IN rapid or
der. My promotions were not the
result of any dramatic denouements
or grandstand heroics. 1t was all IN
the DAVIS work. Men dropped out here
and there, and went up by degrees.
It was the natural order OF events.
and the result of doing my duty and
obeying orders.

Claim Baby Farms Need Supervisor

claim Baby Farms Neeo supervision.
That the baby farming industry is
active in Wisconsin, that, in a sense,
it was necessary, but needs super
vision, were statements made before
the senate committee on education and
public welfare.
The statement was made in hear
ing on the bill which seeks to regulate
maternity hospitals and lying-in hos
pitfalls by means of licenses. 1t was
stated for the state board of health
that the board had been called upon
by citizens to investigate baby farms
in Beloit, Eau Claire, Green Bay, Osh-
kosh and other places. The condi-
tions at Green Bay, it was stated, were
found very bad. Oshkosh was also
bad.
No one appeared against the bill.
Mrs. G. A Hipke of Milwaukee want
ed to have the bill explained, as she
feared some clause might give too
much power to local health officers. 1t
was stated that the final ruling would
rest with the state board of health.
The question of hours for labor for
women was up again before the SEN
ate committee on education and pub
lie welfare.
Bill 463S amends the present law
and provides women can be employed
between s and 9 p. m. for the maxi
mum of 80 days in each year, provid-
ing such employment does not exceed
ten hours each day or 81 hours each
week.
The only one who appeared for the
bill was James A. Fetterly, represent
ing the retail division of the Mer-
chants and Manufacturers association
of Milwaukee. Mr.. Fetterly stated
that the association had made appli-
cation to the industrial commission in
certain cases and the commission had
denied power and referred the appli-
cants to the legislature for relief.
Chester Barnes of Kenosha claimed
the commission had ample power.
G. H. Crownhart admitted the com
mission had power.
The Fairchild bill, which provides
for the granting of liquor licenses to
corporations which are not operated
for profit in a new location, was up toT
hearing before the senate committee
on state affairs Senator Bray op
posed it in it's original form, claiming
that if such corporations or CLUBS
were permitted to get license in an
OLD location it would add that many
more to the license permitted by the
Baker law as the old location woulc
stand. An amendment will be drafted

Banks Add $500 900 in 1914.

Showing an increase of resources of
Wisconsin state banks and trust COM
panies amounting to $4,529,O65 for
the year ending May 1, but decrease
of $3,078,198 for the two months,
March 4 to May 1, 1915, Commission
er of Banking Kuolt's abstract, just
issued, of the report of the 687 cor
porations reveals interesting facts.
Loans and discounts increased dur
ing the two months $295,315, while the
amount due from approved reserve
banks decreased $3,87S,843, an evil
dence that money is actually in de-
mand and being used in large way.
In the liabilities" side of the &C.
count, it is shown that individual de-
posts have fallen off $1,614,563, de-
mand certificates decreased in amount
by $705,503; time certificates by $44,-
749; savings deposits by $549,019. The
amount of bills payable and due as ad-
ministrator, ETC., show an increase of
$321,83 1t also appears that the I'M
divided profits, less current expenses
and taxes paid, have increased during
the two months by $362,202.
The falling off in the amount of re-
sources at this season of the year as
compared with March is not an unusual
result, according to officials who are
familiar with the matter. March is
the month in Wisconsin when the
banks are at high tide in the matter
of deposits and as the season prog
resses from that time until after harry
est and marketing of the crops, there
is a constant reduction of deposit &C.
counts as a natural consequence of
business development and the need

Thanks to the public schools and to the organi-

sheriff of Cowlitz, with a strong
posse, is searching the woods

day for a man with his head bad
ly smashed with gun-butt.
The man attacked Victor An

three of which took effect in An
derson's body, Yet the latter
wrested the gun away from him
by sheer force, and beat him over
the head with 1t until he begged
for mercy. Anderson himself
was completely exhausted.
In a weakened condition, An

for assistance. He will recover.
