The Little Matter.

A certain captain of industry, COM

said in New York:
Zone beauty about these contracts is
their strict honesty. There are no

ut wasn't always SO In war con-
tracts. In fact, they tell a story about
a war contractor who once broke the
silence Of his club reading room with
a dreadful sigh.
What's the matter?' a brother con-
tractor asked.
"'Alas, alas! said the first con-
tractor. I've just bought five million
pairs of shoes at a dollar a pair and
sold them to the army for six dollars,
and I'm afraid the loss will ruin me-
Loss? Loss? said the other con-
tractor. What are you talking about,

with a five-dollar profit, how can there
be loss?

BADGERS Surprise Army Men.

Army officers here were surprised
when they learned that Wisconsin re-
cruits had all received some instruc-
ton in target practice before leaving
Camp Douglas. Practically no other
state soldiers had such training before
being sent to Texas.
Credit is given Gen. Orlando Hol-
way and Maj. Robert B. Mccoy, chief
instructor of rifle practice, for their
efforts to give the recruits all the train
ing possible in the short time they had
to make them better soldiers. Every
recruit had some practice on the range.
This was not given with the view of
making them marksmen as the time
was too short, but to familiarize them
with the rifle as many of them had
never had an army rifle or any other
Kind of rifle in their hands before en-
listing when mobilization was ordered
This training will be big advantage
to the Wisconsin men when they are
taken out for rifle practice in Texas.
Many men in other regiments will have
to start where the Wisconsin men start
ed at Camp Douglas, with the newt
able result that the Badgers will stand
in the lead. For instance the Wiscon-
sin men are thoroughly familiar with
the principles of shooting, such as
proper breathing, proper method of
pressing the trigger and holding the
rifle to prevent great Jars and hard
b aly e;p
tances and figuring windage. All this
must be learned before a recruit can
hope to hit a target.

MAKE CHUM OF YOUR CHILD
Boy VIII Welcome Companionship OF
Father Who He Feels Can
Understand Him.

The influence of mans companion
ship in child's life is usually q larger,
less detailed thing than that Of a wom-
an, but it is for this very reason the
more needed. The child Is eager to
enlarge his own world he is, If he Is
normal, growing and outgrowing-he
is longing to step out of his own little
circle into the larger one of men and
affairs in which he knows his father
moves. l think l may say l do not
know a single child, and | very much
doubt If anyone else does, who would
not willingly give up his play at the
offer of half an hours companionship
with a grown man whom he can trust
and who really understands him. And
when the grown man is the child's IA
Their, the response is just so much the
more ready.
You notice | have said whom he can
trust and who really understands him.
And in those two conditions are i'm
piled all the obligations as well us alE
the rewards of fatherhood. If a boy
cannot trust his father, or If his IA
lilSl uocS HOI uhuclSldllu MN, IL 10
likely enough he will prefer his toys;
and 1 cannot help feeling that he
shows wisdom in the preference.
1t is a pitiful commentary that so
many children, given the chance to be
with their fathers, to sit beside them,
to go for a walk with them, to hear
them tell Of this or that, will jump at
the chance, not because the compan-
ionship is so complete and satisfying
but because it is a rare treat, q real
novelty. - Laura Spencer Porter, In
Mothers Magazine.

BADGER CAMP HELD
As MOST SANITARY
Wisconsin Troops at Border Gain
New Distinction.
NO CARELESSNESS ALLOWED
Hedicai Officers of Brigade Work Hard
TO Make Conditions Such That
They Cannot Be Improved
Upon.

San Antonio, Textile Wisconsin
troops, which have won high praise
from the regular army chiefs since
their arrival in Texas because of their
good conduct and appearance, have
gained still another distinction. The
camp of the Wisconsin brigade has
been declared the most sanitary Of any
Of the state troops on the border.
The sanitary officers Of the Wiscon-
sin brigade have worked unremitting-
ly TO bring the sanitary conditions OF
the camp to such a state that there
would be no room for improvement.
There is not a speek of refuse in the
whole camp. And as a result there is
no place where flies or other disease
carrying insects may feed. Careless
ness will not be tolerated.

Badgers Give Dress Drills.

An honor was conferred upon the
Wisconsin troops when they were
chosen to give the first of a series of
dress drills in the Fort Sam Houston
quadrangle, which were ordered for
the Wisconsin and Illinois troops by
General Funston. The First Wiscon-
sin regiment gave the first drill and
the Second and Third followed on sue
ceeding nights. The drills were wit
messed by hundreds of officers and men
of the regular army and the guard.

gible for discharge under the provisions
for the release of soldiers who have
dependents will not leave the service
according to Capt. Philip G. Westfall.
He declares that inasmuch as the
people of the state will aid families Of
soldiers, the artillerymen will remain
in service. They do not consider this
charity, but believe that the state
should see that the families of soldiers
are cared for. If there were an air of
charity about it, the men would not ac-
cept, but they look at it in an entirely
different way.

Correspondents Must Give Bond.


Each correspondent in camp with
Wisconsin brigade must give bond to
insure that he will send to his paper
nothing but correct reports of the
events in the Wisconsin camp. This
is the order of General Richardson,
commander Of the Wisconsin brigade.
Every newspaper correspondent must
file his credentials at headquarters.
General Richardson became in
censed at the reports of suffering
which he said had been sent back to
Wisconsin by newspaper correspond
ents in the camp, and the order requir-
ing credentials and bond was the re-
suit.
General Richardson asserts that
there is no foundation for the reports
that have been sent out from here to
the effect that the men are not prop
erly treated and are becoming dis
satisfied. He asserts that these re-
ports were sent out by some CORE
spOndentS who were endeavoring to
manufacture a sensation without any
foundation in fact.
All the correspondents in camp deny
that they have been guilty, and each
accuses the others of being the fax
ers.

Wisconsin Brigade Gets Horses.

The Wisconsin brigade will receive
l5G horses in few weeks, following a
government contract for $4,000, 600
for 72,000 horses, delivery of which is
now in progress. Border raids will not
take the Badgers south, at least until
after rifle practice, officers declare. The
men expect to make 30-mile hike to
Leon Springs for rifle practice. Six
teen hundred recruits are to get spe-
cial training in shooting.

Some May Become Regulars.

Some May Become Regulars.
Some of the Wisconsin Guard may
not 20 back home when the. Bad
ger soldiers are released from
service ON the border. The indica-
tons at present are that many of the
officers of the state troops Will join
the regular army and make soldier
ing their profession. Attention OF the
Wisconsin officers has been turned in
this direction by the announcement
that General Funston has received
permission from the war department
to draft second lieuteDants in the
militia service to second lieutenants
in the regular service.
Under the recent army bill all sec
ond lieutenants in the regular service
were made first lieutenants and the re-
suit was that the entire regular army
is at the present time without second
lieutenants. Officers figure that it is
great chance to be drafted into the
entire service and especially among
the younger officers that matter of
transferring is being seriously con-
sidered. Second Heutenant's pay is
$40 q month.
The authorization from the war de-
partment will make room for hun
dreds of second lieutenants. In the
regular artillery especially there is
great need of lieutenants. 1t is not
known whether or not an examination
will be required of militia officers de-
string to enter the regular service,
but it is the opinion from the
tenor Of the advice from Washington
that no examination will be required
