Camp Grant Notes

Martin SeamOriSOn of StOughtOn
and Leo Pwesetts miss the girls back
home badly, but they are doing their
best to keep graceful by half hours
practice daily around the hunks. They
use their ten pound field shoes for
dancing pumps.
Harry Edmonds of Sullivan, past
master in the art of concertina play
ing is furnishing daily entertainment
Tor the men of this company The
squeeze box is bit unusual and very
popular.
Henry Anderson, our lanky cook
from Deerfield, can initiate a rooster
to perfection. He cackIes so realistic

was formerly an express messenger
for the Wells Fargo between Mineral
Point and Milwaukee, was seen stroll
ling around the camp the other night
with depected look upon his manly
features. He is plainly worrying over
| the fact that he can't make Mineral
Point and back in forty-eight hours.
| That the boys OF Camp Grant are a
happy and contented bunch is we'll
proven by the men themselves. There
has been stories told of the discomfort
OF the boys who ahve given up their
various occupations to enter the great
national army, but these stories are
without foundation as the boys of the
camp are all enjoying themselves i'm
mensely and all like their new life
Folks back home have no need to
worry that their boy is not happy for
he is being treated in the best manner
The lads are all enthusiastic over
their new life and are all working
/ hard to accomplish the same purpose
The chances for promotion in the new
army are excellent One-third of the
quota of the next officers training
camp is going to consist of men chos-
en- from the army Most of the BOYS
realize what an opportunity this is
and are studying hard so they may
earn chance to enter the next train
ing school for officers.
In years gone by the soldier had nc
recreation halls, no Y. M. c.. A. and in
fact no way of enjoying himself un-
less he went to the nearest city from
his post, but today times have chang.
ed. The men CHARTERED at Camp Grant
have everything in the amusement line
that any man should want. In the ey.
ening the soldier of today can play 2
social game of pool in his barracks
he has the Y. M. G. A. to 20 to or he
can stay at home and enjoy the music
The soldier Of today had ambition in
civil life and since reaching camp anG
being enlisted in the army and hayine
been told of the wonderful opportuni.
ties that await him in his new field he
has many more ambitions.

BOYS ANTICIPATE HALLOWEEN
AND PLAY MANY FRANKS

Did you miss anything last night i?
If not, you were lucky. Or probably
you had your possessions nailed down
tightly or then again, you might have
taken your fence and front porch into
the house. If so, you were safe and
enjoyed a peaceful nights rest. Many
were surprised this morning to see
articles belonging to them gone, and
still other articles not belonging to
them in their place.
Ed Bittner in North Fourth street
received a milk wagon as a Halloween
present. It was placed on his front
porch. Then again a cutter was
placed on the pickets of fence. A
porch swing was taken from some per
sons front porch and placed on the
steps of ST. Johns church.
In Sixth street two wagons filled with
scrap iron were carted out of the
yard and taken two blocks.
A cyclone struck the high school
FOR the assembly this morning was q
scene of disorder. Several prank-lOv-
ing youngsters had managed to effect
an entrance and changed the books
around. Every desk had been ran
sacked and for awhile this morning
it was who belongs to this book Oh
Where is my pencil" etc.
Many gates and other loose belong
ings were carried away. Soaping win
dows was a favorite pastime Judging
from the appearance of Main street
windows

Phillip ASKS PRIVILEGE
TO PICK THE SENATOR

Il propose to call a special session
iof the legislature in the near future
for such legislation as is necessary to
meet the war emergencies, and l shall
include recommendation in the call
asking for authority to fill the vacan-
cy that exists now in the office of
United States senator by appoint
ment"
The foregoing statement was issued
by Gov. E. l.. Philip on Tuesday with
respect to the vacancy caused by the
death of the late United States Sena-
tor Paul O.. Husting.
Gov. Philip makes it clear that he
and that he is not candidate for the
senate
| He declared that in asking appoint
i've power he does not seek the ad-
vancement of any friend; that he
would select the strongest man in the
state whom he could induce to take
the office. He said that the man to fill
the place of Senator Husting must
stand with the national government
and that he would not consider a par
tisan politician.
The governor does not feel that a
special election at this time would be
in the best interests of the people. He
believes it would merely serve as an
excuse for pacifists and anti-war pro-
pagandists ito fill our state with their
literature and their advocates"

UNCLE SAM THANKS
PUBLIC FOR BIG LOAN

The Federal Reserve Bank of Chi
cago, fiscal agent for the United
States government in the sale of
Liberty bonds, desires publicly to. ex-
press grateful acknowledgment to
the press, to the Liberty loan COM
mittees, to the banks, bond houses
and other organizations, and to the
vast number of men, womne and chill
dren who, with enthusiastic devotion,
were responsible for the success at
tanned in floating the second Liberty
loan in the Seventh Federal Reserve
District. That such multitude of
people should volunteer is a striking
illustration of the spirit of patriotism
inherent in the American people.
Appreciation in equal measure also
is expressed to the many hundreds of
thousands of individuals and institu-
lions that have so loyalty placed
their funds at the disposal of the gov
eminent by subscribing for the Liber-
ty loan.

FOOTBALL

Watertown high school will play the
Fond du Lac eleven at Washington
park Saturday afternoon. Coach
Thomas will probably start his first
team men in the first half as the visit
ors are credited with a fast team. So
lar the boys have piled up total of
1877 points against their opponents 6
and have not in any game been in
danger of being scored upon. East
side was the only team to score
against the locals, and the play that
secured the touchdown was a fuke.
AS yet it is too early to talk of a
championship team for the remainder
of the games are all stiff ones. One
thing is assured, the boys are playing
like trojans and if the good work is
continued they will come up to the
line with the best football teams in
the state. They say that Horizon
trimmed Fond du Lac. If such is the
case the locals need not fear the
prOwess of the visitors.
The Northwestern college second
team will play Wayland academy at
Beaver Dam Saturday. The second
team has been working hard of late
and will be given an opportunity to
show what progress they have made
That they will come back victorious is
assured for they have been playing
last clean ball against the first team
N their scrimmages.
The first team will be given a much
nedeed rest. KOwalke's team has been
handicapped to a certain extent in
chat several of his best men were hurt
early in the season. The Beloit defeat
was trivial when one stops to consid-
er the losses suffered. Although Be-
ioit<Was crippled in the Wisconsin
game all her players went against
.he local aggregation.
Milton will play the regulars soon
at Milton.

JUDGES NOT ELIGIBLE
FOR SENAT0RShIP
SAYS CONSTITUTION

The constitution of the state of Wis
preme court justice or circuit judge
being appointed or elected United
States senator Since the death OF Sen
ator Husting many names have been
mentioned, among them Justice Wins
low of the supreme court and Circuit
Judge NJ L. Lueck of Juneau. Either
man would fill the position capably
but the trainers of the constitution
placed barrier in the way.
Section 10 of article of the con-
stitutiOn reads:
Each Of the judges of the supreme
and circuit courts shall receive a sal
airy, payable at such time as the legis-
lature shall fix, of not less than one
thousand, five hundred dollars an
nually; they shall receive no fees of
office, or other compensation than
their salaries; they shall hold no Of
fees of public trust, except judicial
office, during the term for which they
are respectively elected, and all votes
for either of them for any office eX-
SSpIs O. JuuiSidl oiHCe, given py tuC hC6-
islature or the people, shall be void.
No person shall be eligible to the Of
fee of Judge, who shall not, at the
time of his election, be citizen Of the
United States, and have attained the
age of twenty-five years, and be a
qualified elector within the jurisdic-
ton for which he may be chosen.
That section is as plain as can be
and shuts out any judicial candidate
named. We have heard it intimated
however, that Judge Lueck~is not a
candidate for the place and never
seriously considered the matter The
same was true of him when the ap-
pointment of Federal judge came up
a few years ago

High School Notes

There will be no school in either
the night or day classes Thursday and
Friday owing to the fact that the
teaching staff of the high school will
attend the state teachers convention
IN Milwaukee.
The enrolment in the night school
branches now numbers 166. Some
come and go, but the registration is
increasing instead of diminishing. II
is the largest night school -registra-
ton ever had.
The pictures of the various class
groups are nearly completed and will
probably be finished by the middle OF
November. The football team had their
pictures taken Saturday, and the var
ious other organizations at the high
school have had group pictures taken
for the Orbit
The last football game of the sea-
son to be played on the home grounds

u. S. DIST. ATTY. WOLFE
To RESIGN HIS OFFICE

1t is reported that Albert C. Wolfe
OF La Crosse has resigned as district
attorney of the western federal district
OF Wisconsin, and his resignation is
to take effect on the selection of a
successor, who will be suggested by
Democratic National Committeeman
Joseph Martin, as there is no demo-
cratic senator. Mr. Wolfe was recon-
mended for appointment after the
sudden death of his brother, William
F. Wolfe, at a banquet at Madison last
summer.
At that time the name of Arthur
Mulberger of Watertown was proposed
for the place. He had been acting at
torney in the interim>and is now as
sistant attorney. His selection would
please many democrats as well as re-
publicans in this section of the state
