FIND NITROGLYCERlN PLANT
Discovery of Stick of Dynamite BY
Boys Near Superior Leads to Place
Where "Soup" Was Made.

Superior Investigation of the dis
covery of q stick of dynamite by boys
playing IN an outlying and sparsely
settled district resulted in the uncov-
ering by :he police of a plant which
had been the scene of much nitrogly-
cerine making. Whether the liquid
was to be used by yeggmen or for
bombs has not been determined. An
effort is being made to connect the
discovery with the killing of several
persons TT Virginia, Mimi, last week
by bombs. More than dozen stocks of
dynamite and the refuse of many doz-
en- more used in making the so-calIed
soup, were found. The spot, screen
ed from the nearest road by heavy
bushes, was thickly strewn with wrap
pings and packings of the explosive.

WILL WAGE WAR ON PLAGUE
Wisconsin Anti-TubercuIosis Associa-
ton Making Plans for Big Sale Of
Red Gross Christmas Seals.

Milwaukee - Aroused by the news
from Europe that tuberculosis is
working havoc in the armies, and also
by the revelations made by the medi-
cal examiners for the draft board in
Wisconsin. The State Anti-tubercu-
Iosis association is making plans for
the biggest campaign in it's history in
the effort to sell Red Cross Christmas
seals.
Having learned that much hitherto
unknown tuberculosis exits among
young men, the state association has
felt that anti-tuberculosis work must
be pushed with greater virility than
before the war.
AS direct result of war revelations,
the National Association for the Study
and Prevention of tuberculosis has
sent out a call for sale three times
as large as the one of last year. This
will necessitate a sale aggregating
$15O,000 in Wisconsin.

TO RAISE $500, 600 WAR FUND
kenosha Citizens Pledge Certain Per-
centage of Weeks Earnings
Until Peace Is Declared.

Kenosha-Under the slogan, IF you
don't go across-come across, the
city of Kenosha has inaugurated the
most interesting movement in the ma
ton in connection with the raising OF
funds for the support of the various
benevolent organizations connected
with the war. From now until sucn
time as peace shall be declared, every
man and woman in Kenosha, VINO
works, or who has retired to live on
his or her incomes, will make a regu'
lar monthly payment for the support
of these organizations.
There will be no more campaigns in
Kenosha to raise money for the Red
Cross, Belgian and Armenian relief,
smokes for Sammies, the Y. M. c. A.,
or any other organization. All that is
expected from Kenosha will be paid
and paid promptly from a great cen
trail fund raised from all the people OF
the city who are in any way to help
in the raising of it.
Every Wednesday until peace is de-
clared whistles will sound in all the
Kenosha factories at 1880 o'clock and
for half an hour the entire working
population of Kenosha will work for
the support of movements directly
connected with the men who have
gone to the front.
The systematic carrying out of the
plan will mean the raising of fund
of more than 100000 year which
will be the gift of Kenosha - not a
few Kenoshans-to the various funds.
The central committee in charge OF
the collection is headed by T. G. Sim.

COUNTRY LADS Win
At RIFLE PRACTICE
BADGER BoYS FROM RURAL Dis
TRIcTS SCORE OVER CITY
CONTESTANTS
FIRST WORK SATISFACTORY
With Little More Practice Wisconsin
Soldiers Will Be Crack Shots.
Will Study War by Viewing
Movies of Eattie Front.

Camp Grant, Rockford, Ill. - The
first weeks test on the new Camp
Grant rife range demonstrated that
when it comes to hitting the bullseye
the lads from the country have it on
the city chaps every time.
The two prairie regiments at the
camp, the 342d, recruited from north
ern Illinois, and the 341st, the Wiscon-
sin organization, led in the work on
the range by satisfactory margin.
The 342d topped the list of infantry
commands, shooting with an average
of 1872 The 341st was second, with
an average of 375. The 343d and
Gath, which hail from the west and
north sides of Chicago, respectively,
were next in line, their country
brethren having accumulated greater
number of bullseyes than they with
their big city range of vision were
able to.
The results of the first week on the
rifle range are declared to be eminent
ly satisfactory. Many Wisconsin boys
who scarcely ever had hold of rifle

of better than 40 out of possible SO.
With a little more practice the boys
of the Eighty-sixth division are going
to be in real shape to take care OF the
Fritz snipers along the battle front.
Selective men at Camp Grant will
soon be given an opportunity to add to
their knowledge of the game OF war
through the movies as well as on the
drill field and in the study room. Maj
Gen. Barry has ordered sets OF motion
pictures showing important phases in
training. They have been prepared un-
der the direction of the general staff
and an officer will be detailed to care
for them and to work out schedule
of instructive entertainment.
With three phases of army instruc-
ton open to them the recruits of the
Eighty-sixth division are expected to
make rapid progress and consequently
to be fit for service across the water
sooner than was even anticipated.

EXPECT To LEAVE
SOON FOR FRANCE
RUMOR THAT BADGER GUARD
NOW AT WACO WILL MOVE
in A SHORT TIME.
VOLUNTEERS CALLED FOR
Additional Men Are Required to
Bring Regiments from 1000 to
5000 Men-Unmarried Reg
istered Men Joining.

Madison - At the present rate at
which volunteers are joining the call
of Adjutant General Holway for 1,20G
additional men at Waco, Tex, it is
probable that by the first of next
week, the ranks will be filled. There
are requests to join coming from all
sections of the state. These additional
men are required by reason of change
in the federal ruling increasing the
size of the regiment from 1000 to g.
600 men.
Many of the unmarried men who
would come under the first call of the
second draft fixed for Dec. Is, are now
volunteering. BY going with the
guards they will get into service
quicker in France. So far as possible
the volunteers who now enlist will be
assigned to their home companies.
While no definite information has
been received there is feeling here
that the guard troops will soon be
moved. Upon the receipt of kilograms
from Col John P. Joachim and Capt
Myron c.. West of the headquarters
companies at Waco, Tex, their wives
have gone South. 1t is generally be-
lieved here that Col. Joachim and
Capt West are about to start for
somewhere in France" Should these
men leave within short time 1t is
probable that the companies will be
leaving shortly thereafter. The men
who now volunteer will go with these
same companies and will not have to
go through the long trainings at bar
racks camps.

TRY TO WRECK SHIP AT YARD
While Engines Were Being Tested
at ManitoWoc Government Dock.


Manitowoc An attempt was made
to wreck the steamer Warcastle, under
construction at the yards of the Mani
towoc Shipbuilding Co., government
yard.
While the engines were being tested
at the docks, the boat being held by
two lines attached to the docks, some
one cut one of the ropes, probably in
the expectation that one line would
not hold the steamer. The steamer
was few yards from the heavy steel
bridge crossing the 500 tracks and had
it been released or torn from the one
line, it would have crashed through
the bridge and probably would have
been completely wrecked.
Secret service agents are said to
have two men under surveillance.

MUST SUPPORT FAMILIES
Brown County Has Plan Whereby
Prisoners Will Be Put to Work
to Earn Money for Dependents.

Green Bay-Men convicted in Brown
county courts for minor offenses, may
be made to produce a living for their
families while they are serving time
if plan, being considered by the
county board of supervisors, is adopt
ed. Several thousand dollars could be
saved annually to the county by the
proposal, it is believed, as money now
given to provide for families, left ne
elected upon the sentence of the hus-
band and father, would not have to
be paid.
The proposition before the board is
to place offenders at work in stone
quarries, owned by the county, to pro-
duce and crush stone for county high
ways.
The wages earned by the men will
be given to their families, if the idea
is carried out.
