MILITARY COMPANY FOR CITY.
Junior Poultry Association Receive
Help For Military Company.

The members of the Junior Poultry
association of this city evidently are
not of@the same accord as William
Jennings Bryan and other noted Paci-
fists. They are believers in prepared
ness. Through their influence this
city will have a military company.
1t will not, however, be affiliated with
the state militia or national guard.
President E. Simdars of the Junior
Poultry association is in receipt of a
letter from a wealthy philanthropist
who wishes no publicity be given him.
He offered the members fifty dollars
in order to defray expenses that would
be incurred in starting the company.
Action will be taken on the matter at
a meeting arranged for the evening of
August f. Some action will also be
taken on the aid to be given by the
Junior members in boosting the an
nual poultry show to be held this
coming December.
Only members will be allowed to
join the company.

NAVY OFFICER I'M CITY
LOOKING FOR RECRUITS
In on Interview said it is Surprise
to Many That Rigid Examination
Must Be Passed.
WAITING LIST TO BE MADE UP.

c. w. Motley, petty officer of the

the navy recruiting station at Milwau-

OF opening temporary recruiting
station at the city hall on -Au gust q
the navy
Mr.. Motley says, "It may surprise
some people to learn that is is almost
as difficult for man to enlist in the
navy as it is to get on the police force
or a position in the post Office. That
is because of the rigid physical, men
tai and moral examination which the
applicant has to pass. No longer is
the navy refuge for bad characters
and loafers. But while the man Of
vicious and depraved habits is not
tolerated in the service, there is much
Of the oldtime prejudice which has
not been overcome. The navy now is
more of than a calling; it is a profess
sion. The modern battleships<a s<are so
complicated that highly skilled men
are required to keep them up to the
required standard of efficiency exact
ed. Skilled labor must be well paid
and with the navy this is the case.
Not long ago the navy was so near

many applicants for enlistment were

INTEREST TAKEN IN
TRACTOR EXHIBITION
ALMOST 100000 ARE EXPECTED
TO ATTEND TRACTOR DEMON
STRATION AT MADISON.
Demonstration From Sept. 4 TO s and
Will Give People Chance to Learn
Possibilities of Tractor.

Between fifty and one hundred thou
sand of Wisconsin's farmers and bust
ness men will take a two or three day
vacation between September and s
to attend the big Wisconsin tractor
farming demonstration at Madison.
They will see the biggest collection
Of tractors and farm machinery ever
gathered at one place in this state.
More than this, they will see these
iron horses" operating with full load
under actual field conditions. Farm
ers will have an opportunity to judge
for themselves of the worth of trac-
tor.
The committee in charge of the show
is going to make it possible for these
visitors to combine a pleasure and
business trip. Entertainments for the
evening, band concerts, a big water
carnival on Lake Monona that lies be-
tween the capitol and the demonstra-
ton grounds, interesting lectures, and
other features are on the program to
occupy the visitors time after the
days demonstrations are over
Many people in Madison have gone
out for two hours and caught a string
of rock bass or a twelve pound pick
erel in the lakes. Hundreds of people
enjoy swimming and boating in the
water that surrounds the city. Many
new animals have been added to the
large collection to be found in the
Villas park ZOO. Ten million dollars
is the estimated annual output of the
factories and industrial plants that
can be visited while attending the Wis
consin tractor demonstration. Be
sides all this, visitors can see their
own-the most magnificent - state
capitol in the country, and the state
library and historical museum, the
biggest and most complete of their
kind in this part of the country. The
university grounds and buildings are
said to be more beautiful than any
other in the United States.
The five days of the Wisconsin trac-
tor demonstration week September
4, 5, 6, Z, s, will give them a chance
to learn much about the possibilities
of the tractor and at the same time
to enjoy a pleasant vacation of two
or three days.

A Great American Poet in Early
Wisconsin.

Wisconsin in the early days Of it's
statehood was the home of one of
Americas most notable poets. This
was James Gates Percival, who from
1854 until his death in 1856 served
the young commonwealth as state
geologist. Percival like many other
poets was of very eccentric character
His odd dress and habits were a
source of constant wonder to the
rough miners with whom he lived in
the village Of Hazel Green. He was
morbid of temperament, stunning his
fellow men, 1t is said that he rarely
ever spoke to women, and that his
house had but one entrance which
was in the rear. Though thorough
scholar and scientist, he was careless
as to his finances, and when he died,
his library, which contained over TO-
900 volumes, and was worth $4,000.
had to be sold to pay his debts.

RELIEF IN SIGHT
FOR CITY BATHERS
PARK BOARD NOW HAS LAND UN-
DER CONSIDERATION
BATH HOUSE.
Is to be Hoped That Some Action VIII
Result SOOn-Land Near River
view Park Suggested.

All matters at last are under way
for the furnishing of bathing facilities
for the people of Watertown The
mayor and common council have sig
nified their willingness that proper
facilities be furnished Money has
been provided for the maintenance of
such place. Land that will not cost
the taxpayer a cent is under consid-
Grafton. This is possible on account
Of the Fanny P. Lewis fund. This
fund stipulates that money shall be
furnished for the donation of the city
of public parks. The selection of this
park is up to the park commission.
All that is necessary is that the city
accepts the recommendation of the
park board. The city officials then
buy this park out of the Fanny P.
Lewis fund.
"The suggestion offered in THE LEA
DER Friday in regard that bath
houses be placed at several points
throughout the city is a good one,'
said Alderman w. F. Gruetzmacher
today. ''It shows that the people are
closely following the agitation of the
LEADER for bathing facilities for the
city. However, to adopt this sugges-
ton would require some time as there
is only $500 in the hands of the park
board at the present time. This mon
ey was appropriated some time ago
by the council for bathing house facil-
tiles.
1t is to be hoped that some action
will be taken by the city for it to ac-
cept this strip. There is no doubt
but that something should be done on
the bathing question. Hundreds of
persons would make use of this beach
if it were turned into bathing spot
by the city.

cOnsin and Iowa Where They
Are Well Known.

The Saxophone Concert and Dance
orchestra left on Thursday for an
extended trip through the West AS
the orchestra has played most towns
Of Wisconsin and Iowa, they will only
play a few of the larger cities in
these states, thereafter they will work
in Minnesota, the Dakotas, Nebraska
and other western territory.
The boys have covered big terri
tory in the last two years and at every
engagement have shown their ability
as real musicians
The orchestra is under the direction
and management of W. H. Ketelhut,
/ with William Fleuter, solo; George
I Ryan, alto; Emil Ketelhut, tenor; Ar
thur Wilde, baritone; Alvin Shissler,
drums; Arthur Mcdonald, advance
agent. Mr.. Macdonald left several
days ago and is arranging bookings
through Iowa and the other territory
tc be covered by the orchestra.
TIE boys are looking ahead for a
big season as they have a new up-to-
date program of the latest dance mu-
sic, which will surely make a hit
IT the music does not, the boys surely
will, as they all "love the ladies, -
except manager Bill who plays
every night his little tune, "Good-bye
Girls I'm Through" At that he has
nothing on his brother, who has play
ed that tune so long that his horn
| is worn through. He has sent to the
factory for new gold plated saxo-
phone which he will get on the road.
Fleuter, known as whistle" will
lead the new duet waltz, 81 Can Love
the Girl Who Loves a Home" and is
in hopes the girls will take notice
Ryan, known as shorty" with his
new base ball game hates to leave
his partner "Chaw" Powers, but
Shorty says he doesn't like to chow
ler,'' THAT don't count"
Wilde, known as Cap" had a
steady friend this last vacation while
the boys were here He sure will
have a hard time breaking away, but
they say, absence makes the heart
grow fonder.'
Shisler, known as Red" liked
them all but he had hard time find
ing one while here, but sure makes
the hit away from home. He devotes
most of his time on his new x1yphone
Macdonald, the advance man, who
is making the path for the boys, is
sending back good reports. The boys
will leave Thursday on an early train
making their first stop at Ridgeway,
Wis, and from there will work direct
west.
1t is hoped that the boys will keep
up their good work in booming this
city as they have done on their trips.
Watertown is proud of the work and
the success that the boys have met
with With the bookings that they
have made of late it sure looks as if
they have struck the road to success
and the city is unanimous in hoping
that they are never shunted into a
side road
