WORK OR GO TO JAIL
Man With That Tired Feel
ing Has No Friends Must
Rustic or Get Pulled.

Wisconsin will be an unhealthy
place for loafers under the action
that police departments and
sheriffs of the state are urged to
take by the Wisconsin State
Council of Defense.
Unemployed men face three al
ternatives Of enlisting, going to
work, or going to jail, according
to a letter sent out to. police de-
partments and sheriffs of the
state, and received here by Sher
tiff Jackson, in which attention is
called to the Huber vagrancy
law.
1.-The effect of the draft is al
ready being felt in agriculture
and the industries of Wisconsin,
says the defense council letter.
Ever since America entered the
war laborers have been needed
in Wisconsin, and they are need
ed more now than ever. The
labor officers of the various
county councils and the State
Council of Defense are daily re-
ceiving more demands than they
can fill. These demands are
steadily increasing. At the same
time reports are coming in to
the state council from various
parts of the state concerning idle
men.
"The Huber law provides that
every male person over 16 years
of age, who shall beconvicted by
any court or magistrate on the
charge of vagrancy, vagabond-
age, petty larceny, drunkenness
or disorderly conduct shall be
punished by Imprisonment in the
workhouse or in the county Jail
at hard manual labor. 1t also
makes it an absolute duty OF the
sheriff to see that such persons
are employed"
The state defense council urges
a general roundup of idlers and
floaters.
Give the loafers a chance to
enlist" are the orders of the de
tense council. Then give him a
chance to work; if he will not do
so send him to jail, and let the
sheriff keep him busy there. We
must not tolerate idlers.,"

INJURED BY SHOTGUN
Abel Christensen in Rhine
lander Hospital Stumbled
With Loaded Gun.

Carrying a loaded shotgun on
his shoulder muzzle first and
catching his foot under a root,
pitching forward, gun discharged
and contents of the load entering
both arms, is the cause of Abel
Christensen being under treat
ment in the hospital at Rhine
lander.
Abel Christensen lives near the
VIM. Tellefson farm north of
Boot lake, and is a guide and
trapper by occupation. The ac-
cident happened last Wednesday
evening while on his way, it is
said, to visit some wolf traps.
The charge OF bnckshot struck
him in both elbows, one being
badly splintered. He will I'M
doubtedly be crippled in one arm.

Why Is a County Fair?

For some it is pleasure, a sort
of a carnival.
For Others it is the annual
meeting place of friends from all
over the country.
For others it is the chance to
display a few hastily arranged
products SO as to try for a prize
But for the thoughtful farmer
bent upon better farm sales
manship" it is the one grand OPP
portunity to present his prod
ucts for market. He will arrange
his exhibits tastily-grains well
famed, potatoes well graded,
stock well groomed. He will
have little advertising matter
ready. After his exhibits are in
place he will not abandon them
to their fate but he will be on
hand to call the attention of peo-
pie to them. Possibly he will
have in his pocket a few camera
pictures of his farm and fields,
crops and stock. Especially will
he show his exhibits to the pub
lie whom he knows will appreci-
atethem.
Such a fellow may not sell on
the spot all he would like to but
he will have made himself known
to a large number of people who
will become future purchasers.
The building up of a steady lot
of customers is the best sort of
craftsmanship.
The second annual dairy show
and agricultural exhibit will be
held for Villas county in Eagle
