LETTER FROM MRS. ROBERTS.
Gives Interesting Account of Appear.
ing i'm the Movies.

Mrs. Agnes Roberts, who has been
informs her friends that she is well
pleased with the mild southern eli
mate, being among the tourists who
populated Ormond Beach on the day
that Mr. Hoett, operator for the Mu-
tuaI Film company, took a moving
picture of the beach which will appear
in See America First"
The following letter has been re-
ceived from Mrs. Roberts:
The gradual climatic transformation
from the wintry blasts of the north
to the warm balmy breezes of south
ern Florida is most interesting and
delightful.
We have been over at Ormond, the
golf center of Florida, located on the
shore of the beautiful Halifax river.
From here we took boat up the moss
empowered and winding TOmoka
river, typical inland Florida water
way. This trip is an experience en-
inently worth while. On another day
we took an automobile drive along
the famous Ormond Dayton beach
course and through the towns Of Or
mond, Daytona and Sea Breeze. A
fine eighteen hole golf course is To-
Gated at Ormond and we often drive
there and watch them play. There
are many ways of enjoying yourself
walking, riding or driving through
the many semi-tropical trails; then
there are the tennis grounds and bath
ing, one of the greatest sports, and
if you want a change you may ascend
with Ruth Law in her large Curtis
aerop1ane. 1t is only $40 for a half
hour Recently Mr.. Hoett, the oper-
ator for the Mutual Film company was
taking moving picture on the beach
and our car was not far from j. ID.
Rockefeller l hope some day that
you will see the picture. 1t is to be
called "See America First.

PORK PIE.

The ability of the Democrats to re-
solve the demand for preparedness
into an excuse for Congressional
pork" is a matter of wonder to any
one acquainted with their general in
competency. If all the Democratic
bills which have been introduced in
this Congress, providing for NUM-
tons plants to be located in various
Democratic Congressional Districts
acted upon5- (2itt KS chess
were acted upon favorably, there
wouldn't be enough money left in the
federal treasury to pay for hauling the
munitions away from the factories
When opportunity knocks at Democra-
tic headquarters it is sandbagged and
frisked to the skin.

CIVIL SERVICE
EXAMINATIONS HERE
FINE OPPORTUNITY FOR THOSE
WHO SEEK POSITIONS IN
STATE SERVICE.
Examinations VIII Be Held March 90
Although Applications Can Be
Filed Next Monday.

John A. Hardwood, secretary and
chief examiner of the Wisconsin civil
service commission, was in the city
during the past week looking for those
who might want to take the civil SER
vice examinations.
Arrangements have been made to
hold the examinations at the Water
town high school building on Monday,
March 20, at o'clock in the afternoon,
and they will be conducted by Mr.. Ha-
zelwood
The examinations are open to all
high school graduates, or to anyone
having practical experience equiva-
lent to the high school course. The
examinations will be conducted in
three classes-A, B and G. The dicta-
ton for the c class will be given at
the rate of eighty words per minute
and is open to- stenOgraphers without
experience. The maximum salary for
this class is $5S per month.
Glasses A and B require dictation at
a higher rate of speed, and carry a
maximum salary is $3.50.
The examinations will consist OF
shorthand, typewriting, arithmetic
spelling, and letter writing.
A meeting will be held at the high
school building Monday evening at
1870 o'clock at which all those who
wish to take the examinations are re-
quested to be present to fill out their
application blanks.
This is a new departure in the civil
service board, and one which will be
highly appreciated by those in this
vicinity who are ambitious to work for
| the state. Heretofore when any OF
our citizens wanted to take the exam
nations they were compelled to go to
Madison which often worked finan-
cial hardship, and there is no doubt
but that the state will find benefit in
bringing the examinations to the peo-
pie, thus giving many bright young
men an opportunity to find employ
ment, who have been deprived of this
privilege in the past.

WASHINGTON CUTLERY
SELLS TO UNITED STATES
Supplies the Cutlery for 1000 Army
Field Kitchens, Making the
Shipment Saturday.
QUALITY DECIDED THE DEAL

The Washington Cutlery company
has just completed a shipment to out
fit 1000 field kitchens for the United
States army.
The shipment was made to the army
barrack quartermaster's department
at Jeffersonville, Ind, Saturday.
The Washington Cutlery company
was awarded this business in competi-
ton with all other American cutlery
manufacturers, and secured it solely
upon quality.
This company has had previous op-
portunities to figure on bayonets and
other supplies for the allied armies,
but it was their preference not to take
up any of this temporary business,
rather giving special attention to their
excellent domestic trade.

Since January first $4,000 quarters
of beef, $4,000 carcasses of mutton and
81 900 carcasses of lamb have come
into the United States from Argentina.
Under the Democratic tariff law they
came in free Of duty, but here would
have been the source of nifty bit of
revenue under the Republican tariff
law and the price of meat to the con-
sumner would have been in no wise in
creased The Democrats will make
UP for the loss by placing direct tax
on something else.

January 10, Mr.. Wilson permitted
the sending of the Lansing note meas
urably "justifying" the German con-
tention as to armed merchantmen.
Shortly after he changed his mind on
that point. A few weeks later he was
found attempting to smother Con-
gressional action on the subject-yet
within a week of that he flung his
letter at Representative Pou into the
melting-pot of legislative criticism.
1t is these Kaleidoscope hits of posi-
ton on the Presidents part that have
brought our foreign relations to such
a critical stage. When it seemed good
politics to keep us out Of war" in
order to carry Congressional cleo
ton, that was the war cry. Now that
plunging us into war may serve to
secure reelection for the President,
that rash and perhaps fatal expedient
is by no means unwelcOme.

In conversation with Republican
senator a few days ago, Senator I'm
derwood, father of the Democratic
tariff monstrosity, is reported to have
said that all the steel mills in his
home town, Birmingham, Alabama,
were running at full capacity, and not
a mill was engaged III making goods
for the European belligerents. When
asked if it were not true that these
mills were working on orders turned
over to them by mills in the East and
in New England, because the latter
were deriving greater profits from
war orders, and were therefore sub
contrac citing with the Alabama mills
to handle their normal business, Sen
ator Underwood maintained a discreet
silence.

Another special agent, James L.

President Wilson, to interview Car
rama. The Senate was no more con-

one of the European belligerents. Will
he be an addition to Mr.. Wilson's ros-
ter of liars?

WASHINGTON LETTER.

Washington, March z. - Especial
correspondence Anybody wishing
to acquaint himself with what is going
on before various committees OF Con-
gress, now holding hearings, will have
to be present at the hearings, depend
on newspaper reports, of wait an in
definite time before a printed copy
of the hearings is available. Hearings
on the government ship purchase Dill
had been going on for days before
the proceedings became available TO
the public, and there is complaint OF
delay on the part of other commit
tees in publishing their hearings. The
committees blame the delay to the
public printer, and the public printer
declares that the committees do not
send him the copy promptly. In 1908
and 1909, with Republican Congress
in charge, the Ways and Means COM
mittee held hearings on the tariff, and
the hearings appeared daily, = as
promptly as, the Congressional Rec
ord Testimony taken in the after
noon of one day was in the hands of
the public in printed form the fol-
lowing morning at o'clock. That
was Republican efficiency at work. A
slipshod Congress is on the job today.

candidacy for Republican delegate-at-
large to the Chicago convention def
nitely aligns Mr.. Bird with the Re

paign. AS an honorable man Mr.
Bird cannot take part in the Repub-
lican primaries in Massachusetts I'M
less he intends to abide by the re-
sults-not only as they may affect
his candidacy as delegate but as they
may effect the action of the conven-
tion in which he seeks to be men,
Der. This conclusion is by no means
weakened by the recollection that Mr..
Bird bolted the action of the Chicago
convention of 1912 after he had par
ticipated in the Massachusetts, Repub
lican primaries of that year. Four
years ago there were many highly
controverted incidents in the nominal

81 am calling the attention of the
people of New England to the delay
and the representation of the Ways
and Means committee of the House,
in the matter of reporting the bill in
troduced by Congressman Hill of Con
necticut, providing for an increase
duty on dye stuffs," said New Eng
land member of Congress. "This bill,
which increases the duty on dye
stuffs, is urgently needed in every in
dustrial section of the country. 1t
should have been passed weeks ago.
The delay may affect hundreds of in
dustries and thousands of operatives
1t provides that sufficient protection
be placed on dye stuffs so that Amer
lean capital may be invested in the
business. 1t is purely for the pur-
pose of establishing this industry that
this legislation is asked. Men of cap
ital and manufacturers who desire to
go into the dye industry want to know
that they will be protected before
they invest millions in the business.
The Democratic party in Congress is
temporizing with this proposition,
fearful that favorable action will
mean a reversan of their tariff policy
and an endorsement of the policy of
protection. They know that such ac-
ton absolutely endorses the great
cardinal principle of the Republican
party and this is why they hesitate"
