BACKWARD ABOUT
FORMING MILITIA
ABOUT 175 ATTEND MEETING
HELD AT TURNER HALL
TUESDAY EVENING,
Profits From Camp Douglas Film to
Be Given to Families of Those
Called to War.

I'm over the age limit, but if there
a chance I'm going to squeeze in and
join the militia" was the assertion
OF one ex-militia officer at the mass
meeting held in Turner Opera house
Tuesday evening for the purpose of
organizing a Watertown contingent of
the state militia
The meeting in some respects was
disappointment as about It's attend
ed the meeting and only eight had the
courage to sign their names to a list
that was hoped to be the start of a
local company of the militia.
Those who signified their willing
ness to join the militia if it was start
ed here are: August Henze, Leonard
Neumann, Arthur Lietzke, Clinton
Vesper, George Draeger, Jake Sproes-
ser, August Fischer and Walter
Scharp.
Mr.. Henze, who was the main speak
er explained how Watertown at one
time was noted for it's fine militia and
also that there was no reason why
the city should not keep on having
this reputation. Watertown has a
census of over 5000 and there is nc
reason why the city cannot have a
sufficient number of patriotic minded
people to form company for the state
militia. Wisconsin is the one state
in the Union noted for it's fine militia
and we should be part of it.
Mayor Charles Mulberger read a
telegram from the Milwaukee Journal
announcing that the Journal was will
ing to display 1000 feet Of film at the
local show houses showing the soldier
life at present at Camp Douglas The
money derived from these pictures tC
De turned over to the families of Wa
tertOWn people who are called to the
defense Of their country.
He appointed a committee to con-
fer with the Journal on its offer. The
committee is August Henze, Charles
KOhn, Jake SprOesser, Albert Preusse
and William Jones.
Anybody who wishes to join may in
form Mr. HenZe at his home, ITO North
Fifth street or one OF the committee.
The signing of ones name to the
list does not mean that he will i'm
mediately be called into active SER
vice. The names are desired to form
basis to see if there is enough cause
to form a local company of the militia

FERTILIZER OF GREAT VALUE
Experiments Show That Radium-Bear-
iry Coal, "Lignaite," Materially In
creases Growth of Plants.

Experiments conducted by Pro
fessor Bottomley with specially-pre-
pared peat have shown that valuable
aids to plant life are contained in
that product; but still more striking
are said to have been the results Sc
cured by the employment of '1igna-
ite."
This is the Mountaineering coal
discovered by the French chemists,
MN. Detaile and Lafayaise, and
Prof. Barton Scammell, M. S. G. |.
of Hadleigh, in Essex, England.
Particulars are being sent to all ap-
plicants who are interested in agri-
culture.
A crop of Indian corn grown this
season in County Kerry, Ireland, in
soil treated with 'lignaite," attained
a height of nearly nine feet. Rad
ishes, as described in recent lee
ture before the Royal Society of
Arts, were grown in half the usual
time and of very greatly increased
size.
As the '1ignaite" is found in all
British coal mines, and is low in
cost, it's use by every agriculturist is
made possible. It is interesting to
note that peat and coal are closely al
lied, and contain all the vital and
necessary constituents of plant
growth.
