BARABOO BOY is PROMOTED
COMPANY A WILL SOON
MAKE TWENTY MILE
MARCH

Lieutenant Harry Tudor of this city
has again written to The News and
encloses several clippings from San
Antonio papers, among them being a
picture of the recent long march by
the Illinois troops, referred to below.
The picture shows the soldiers going
into camp while on the march and
is labeled tits a long, long way to

reads as follows:
All the men Of Company A are still
well and happy. Three of our men

pay.
The Wisconsin troops are showing
up so well here that they rank us
among the highest. Everything they
do is done well, and as the southern
papers state, we are keeping up the
Badger reputation. Yesterday we
started our daily marches, which will
be increased daily. The first day, yes
terday, we marched thirty minutes
rested ten minutes, and marched back
thirty minutes. This morning we
marched forty minutes, rested ten

back, and so on with full equipment,
until we get in good shape for march

take two days each way.
The First Illinois brigade has been
practicing for some time, and started
for Leon Springs yesterday, but made
a very poor showing, as you will see
by the enclosed clipping, but they are
expecting heap from the Wisconsin
troops, and the boys are saying, We'll

ABlEWAN MANAGER
TAKES EXCEPTION
Editors News.


Gentlemen: Upon reading the ar
ticle published in a recent issue of
your paper and / believe in another
Baraboo paper, as regards the ball
game between Ableman and the Bara-
boo Red Sox, last Sunday, and finding
it savored so much of things which
were not exactly correct, and also of
the great disadvantage to which Bar
aboo had to play, will try and give it
to you as nearly correct as | recall it,
the hits, etc. / will have to take from
our score card, which believe is very
near correct. The score was to
in favor of Ableman. Ableman made
IL hits off of Ryan in seven innings,
and none off Of Cooper, who relieved
Ryan in the eighth. Baraboo made z
Pease had 10 strike outs, Ryan and
Cooper none. AS far as earning runs
was concerned, Baraboo made of
their S runs on errors by our outfeld-
ers and earned two. | cannot say pos
itively how many runs we made on
Baraboo errors and how many we
earned, but would rather have an op.
posing team earn their runs than get
them on errors. can safely say we
earned as many runs if not more than
Baraboo did.
The article also states that Baraboo
lost the game in the ninth. / take
exception to this and state that Bar.
aboo lost the game in the seventh. In
this inning Baraboo made two tallies
and tied the game, 5 to 5. In Able
mans half Of the seventh they made
two more, and made the score Z to S,
which it remained. Perhaps the ninth
inning might be interesting to some
Of your readers, and / will give it as
near as I remember: T. Mould was
first man up for Baraboo and hit safe
for first. Hill, the next man, ground

to third. Ryan the second, or the
next batter, was passed to first, which

plays at Ableman we will try and get
some sand from Devils Lake to spread

MILITARY BAND CONCERT

The State College Military Band APP
peared in its annual oncert Friday
evening before one of the largest au-
diences it has ever attracted here.
The organization has grown, not
only in numbers, but has made a much
more marked advance in mu~sicianship.
The program was the heaviest they
have ever given here, and the unani-
Gus praise accorded them on their
recent trip over the state can be easily
understood. The Mignon Overture
was performed with remarkable bril-
liancy and it's difficult technical re-
quirements were easily met by the
wood winds. In the List Rhapsody
they were not only equal to their task
but rendered an Interpretation of rare
excellence. Equally enjoyed, though
possibly more snowy, was the Death
of Custer" by Johnson and a less ia
miliar waltz by the father of the
waltz" Johann Strauss.
If the old maxim be true, that lone
most loves the work he does best" his
work of Friday evening explains the
enthusiasm of Mr.. Christensen in his
work with band and orchestra. Not
w~ithstanding his excellence as soloist
and teacher, we feel confident that his
real talent is in his powers as a di-
rector.
Miss Ferguson, soprano, gave a mag
nificent rendition of the more or less
familiar aria from Romeo and Juliet"
with it's sparkling waltz rhythm and
never have we heard it sung with more
clarity or tonal beauty. Especially en-
joyable was the lullaby my Curly
Headed Baby" of the second group
while all her numbers were well
chosen. Among her numbers were
Willeby's Loves Whisper" when
You Come Home" by Squires, and
"The Years at the Spring"
The clarinet solo by Mr.. James Shep-
ard proved a welcome addition to the
program. Mr.. Shepard displayed a
splendid control of his instrument,
both in tone quality and technic, and
the capabilities of this instrument
which is not often heard in solo work,
were we'll brought out.

WAR SUMMARY OF WEEK
Germany to Sink Armed Merchant
Vessels

The papers have been full all this
week OF the increased activity in many
sections of Europe. The new sea order
issued by Germany that all armed
belligerent ships will be sunk went
into effect at midnight Tuesday. Arm
ed merchant ships will be treated as
auxiliary cruisers.
france has been the scene of enew
ed activity. The section around Yer
dun has been under heavy fire all week
but little has been gained by either the
Germans or French. Fort Douaumont,
a French position, has fallen to the
Germans, but it was in ruins. In the
Artois region of France, in Champagne,
and along the Meuse, above Dun, heavy
and vicious fighting has been carried
on. East of SoucheZ the Germans
captured 500 meters of French
trenches taking seven officers and 312
men. BY counter-attacks the French
succeeded in driving the Germans out
of nearly all positions captured during
the week. The losses were heavy.
The Russians have been busy. On
the front around Friedrichstadt and
llloukst the engagements with the
Austrians have been heavy. The Aus
TRANS were repulsed with considerable
loss in their attempt to take trenches
on the middle Stripa river. The Turks
have suffered severe defeat from the
hands of the Russians at Erzerman
and in the Persian battle zone The
British attacked the Turk camp on the
left bank of the Tigris river with heavy
loss to the Turks.
The Italians have been hammering
at the Austrian positions with heavy
artillery and succeeded in capturing
the mountainous region of Gallo
(Collo) and also captured the towns of
Rongcegno and Ronchi. This puts the
Italians almost within striking dis
lance of their main objective-the city
of Trent.
A Japanese feet has been sent to
the Mediterranean sea-, together with a
great number of aircraft. Two of the
steamers have been sunk. 1t is re-
ported the expedition is to protect
japanese interests in the Suez canal
section.

EDUCATIONAL MOVIES

The moving picture is to be part Of
the equipment of the University of
South Dakota in educational extension
work in the state. Some time ago the
University made an arrangement
whereby it is to become a distributing
agency for the moving pictures Of an
educational character. These films
dealing with industrial and manufac-
turing processes and a variety of other
subjects are furnished by the Bureau
of Commercial Economics of Washing
ton, d. c., a philanthropic association
which has organized this work on a
large scale. The educational film ser
vice has met with great success in
other states where the pictures have
been shown in high schools and before
commercial clubs, farmers associations
and other organizations.
There are now available at the Uni
versity the following:
Concrete Construction on the Farm,
a film of 1000 feet, showing the uses
of concrete in making silos, flooring.
barns, etc.
Shad and Herring Fishing, a film of
about 800 feet.
Out of the Mud, a film of 1000 feet
of the Barrett Manufacturing Com
pany, showing the Uses of travia in
road construction.
A film of 1000 feet showing athletic
games, a part of the social activities
of the employees of the United Shoe
Machinery Company.
From time to time as other films are
available, announcement is to be made
by the University. The moving pic.
lures can be obtained by any organiza'
ton in the state, educational or other.
wise, the only stipulation made by the
University being that they be not used
for commercial purposes and private
profit. The express charges which are
SO small as to be negligible must be
borne by those using the films as the
University has no funds available foI
this purpose.

lens of children welfare the cities
have, it is well that it's organizations
for welfare take this opportunity for
aiding the state in making good citi-
zens out of its children.
The year 1916 has been designated
as Baby Year and throughout the
country many organizations are plan
ming to promote the nationwide obser-
vance Of Baby Week. The needs and
care of babies will be presented as
well as the responsibility of the com
munity and nation for her babies.
Since the rearing Of children is one of
woman's vocations, constantly requir-
ing her %unsparing service and since in
FAINT mortality decreases materially
with civilization and education, it is
fitting that we should celebrate Baby
Week, March All, by suitable ad-
dresses and talks.
The L. S. Children's Bureau was
organized under President Talft's ad-
ministration, but the principal work
has been done under President Wilson.
This work is carried on in the depart
ment of labor, but every phase of child
life is considered in cooperation with
all other organizations.
THE idea of Baby Week originated
in Chicago not quite two years ago and
other cities have adopted the plan with
good results. The Children's Bureau
has prepared a special bulletin for
Baby Week campaigns, which may be
obtained by addressing Children's
Bureau Department of Labor, Wash
ington, ID. c.. Other bulletins may be
obtained from Miss Julia Lathrop,
chairman of the Children's Bureau, and
it is to be hoped that every community
will take advantage of this opportunity
to become interested in this nation
wide movement, and hat all ~organiza-
tons in M place will combine to
make a successful campaign.
at is to be hoped that the interest
aroused during this week will result
in active work for saving babies and
giving them a better chance for de-
velopment."

story by wireless. Undoubtedly there
was a premeditated attempt before the
Oscar ii sailed from New York to dis
credit the work for peace. No expedi-
ton ever was more misrepresented,
and in consequence more misunder-
stood.
Notwithstanding every difficulty, the
firm, honest intent that gave birth to
the enterprise, remained with nearly
everyone and formed their purpose to
make the expedition as effective as
possible. We were spectacular, but
we advertised peace throughout the
world. Thousands of interested men
and women joined with us in the
European countries. l believe the war
will be shortened as a result of the

they may refuse to give credit to our

FROZEN BUT ALIVE
We're not dead yet!
We're not dead yet!
No, by golly
We're all alive yet!
Germ Song Chory

Germ Song Chorus.
Freezing does not kill germs, there
fore watch out for sickness this spring
when the heavy SHOWS thaw. This
caution is given by Shirley p. Miller,
professor of physiology and biology at
State College. He says further that
many germs may remain frozen for
three to five months and still be alive.
This has been demonstrated again and
again of typhoid fever germs and
others"
Professor Miller urges great are in
~disposing of water from melting snow
in order to avoid much illness. In ad-
dition to the fact that germs are not
destroyed by cold, he points out two
other important conditions which must
be carefully observed and guarded
against, as follows:
Disinfect Outhouses
There is always danger of disease
from privy vaults when the spring
thaws come. The snow may melt
around the privy and drain into the
V ult or the ground may be so full
of water that it flows through the
vault, and from there into the well.
The water from the snow near the
privy may be drained off in another di-
rection by NEAR of a trench. But the
safest and surest method is to disinfect
the privy vault two or three times a
week with a solution of water-slacked
lime and eight parts water. Pour into
the privy vault about two quarts of
this milk of lime Never use air
Stacked lime-it is worthless.
Don't Overlook the Barnyard
Further, n should not forget that
the water draining from the barnyard
contains many germs from the intes-
tines of the domestic animals. Some
of these cause severe diarrhea in the
human. Also, waters which contain
~decaying vegetable material have
germs of decay in them and some of
these cause intestinal troubles. Great
care should be used to see that such
surface waters drain away from the
well and not into it.
There is no need of a pool of filthy
water around the tank where cattle
drink and which seeps into the well. A
few minutes work in digging a tenn
porary shallow trench, and the spend
ing of a few cents for lime may mean
the saving of a doctors bill. At any
rate such precautions result in cleanli'
ness"
