NEXT STATE QUOTA
MAY ESCAPE DRAFT.
Phillip ASKS WAR DEPARTMENT
FOR PERMISSION TO USE
VOLUNTEER SYSTEM.
Is GENERAL H0LWAY'S PLAN
Would Give Registered Men Chance e
Get Into Service at Once-Second
Draft Army Will Be Called
Latter Part of This Year.

Madison-lf the war department is
willing Wisconsin's second draft army
will be composed entirely of volun-
teers. Gov. Philip wrote Secretary
OF War Baker asking permission to
put in force the plan worked out by
Adjt. Gen. Orlando Holway of the
Wisconsin National guard.
Approval by President Wilson and
Secretary Baker is necessary before
any steps can be taken, The second
draft army is expected to be raised
the latter part of this year or the first
Of next and it is assumed that the
same number Of men will be required
as the first, which is 12,S76 for Wis
consin.
1t is the idea of Adjt, Gen. Ioway
that this number be raised if Wash
inston viii allow the Wisconsin Ma
tional guard to be recruited up to full
war strength.
1t is pointed out that each of the
draft boards could act as eX-otflcio re-
crulting agents. 1t was further stated
by Adjt. Gen. Holway that this would
give many hundreds of registered men
d chance to get into the service right
away, as any registered man can vol
unteer so long as he has not been
called for civil examination.

Would Give Him Exercise.

Former Congressman George H.
Smith of Minneapolis Is fond of hunt
ing and takes great pride in the owner
ship of a costly setter dog of noble
birth. One day an old man, who was
acting as guide for the hunt, came near
making a lifelong enemy Of Smith by
criticizing the dogs technique in the
field.
1.-THE dogs perfectly all right" de-
clared Smith, Indignantly. 81 wouldn't
trade him for any dog ever saw, only
he doesn't get quite enough exercise.
I'm busy and have to keep him penned
up good deal. He ought to have
more exercise and that would improve
his hunting"
HAS he got any fleas?' inquired the
old man.
SHOULD say not" replied Smith, In
suited. "The dog has his bath every
week the same as hope you do"
'Why don't you give him few
fleas?"
"What do you mean, give him feast
Why should I want fine dog like him
10 have fieas?"
"Well,' opined the guide, thought
fully, they'd give him exercise. st.

MENACE CHEESE INDUSTRY

Competitive Bidding.

Sheboygan - That the big packers
are again menacing the cheese indus
try of Sheboygan county, and, for that
matter of the entire state of Wiscon.
sin, is the claim of local cheese deal
ers, cheese makers and dairymen,
made TO the department of justice of
the federal government.
Special Agent Stacy, of the depart
ment of justice, has been making a
thorough investigation Of the cheese
industry. and, although he would not
dvulge what recommendation he
would make to his department, IT Is
known that he has received the infor-
nation he came here to get.
After most thorough investigation
of the matter, the federal agent de
clared that he was satisfied that tho
Sheboygan and Plymouth dairy boards
which establish the standard price OF
American cream cheese for the United
States. are good thing for the in
dustry and for the general public. He
found that the price Is established by
open competitive bidding by the
cheese dealers.

this war has reached stage where
it Is necessary to be for war until we

that peace is not what is asked by the

holds and the parts of Serbia, Belgium

EXHIBIT A SUCCESS
OFFICIALS WELL PLEASED WITH
RESULT OF 1917 STATE FAIR.
Attendance Figure Broken Despite
Rainy Weather Which MARRIED
Milwaukee Day.

Milwaukee-The1 1917 State fair was
the best and largest attended fair in
the history of Wisconsin. The total
attendance at this years fair was
189,1S4 compared with 165,046 last
year, an increase of 24,03S.
While official receipts OF the week
cannot be issued for few days until
the various departments have been
checked up, it is almost certain that
the 1917 exposition will be financial
success. Attendance records of for
mer years were shattered despite the
been depended upon to attract $4,000
persons, was married by unfavorable
weather
Secretary Oliver r. Remey, in re-
viewing the fair, said:
THE greatest State fair Wisconsin
ever has seen has just closed. There
is no reason why the 1918 fair should
not be better than the fair of 1917.
IL have been gratified over the pres
ence of many members of the legisla-
ture this year They have seen our
imperative needs and / am quite sure
the next session of the legislature will
give needed improvements The legis
lature has been more liberal TO date
and now that members see the fair is
making strong strides toward real I'M
provement, they seem willing to put
the grounds in shape.
Excellent cooperation has been
given this years fair by the citizens
of Wisconsin and northern Illinois,
and especially by Milwaukeeans, led
by the automobile dealers and the
Merchants and Manufacturers associ
alton. The state and Milwaukee are
now shoulder to shoulder behind the
fair The press of the state has, as
usual, been more than liberal.
THE progress we have made must
be held. 1t will be the duty of those
in charge of the 1918 fair to not only
hold what ground has been gained,
but to gain more.
With reference to the magnitude
and quality of the 1917 fair, let those
who saw it pass judgment"
One of the features of the closing
day was the sale of the butter and
cheese from the dairy exhibit. Several
hundred persons thronged the dairy
building when the sale opened and an
extra Gordon of police was necessary
to control the purchasers. More than
5000 pounds of cheese and 1000
pounds of butter were presented dur
ing the sale. Most of the purchasers
were women who brougst along mar
ket baskets to take the products home
The goods were disposed of under the
auspices of the County Council of De-
Tense.

Not Such a Fool,

There Is an amusing little story
about Sir Eric Geddes as boy which
shows the new first lord of the adj
miralty possessed Of resourcefulness
at an early age.
He was somewhere about ten when,
on being given $3.50 by his father as
pocket money, he forthwith went and
spent it all on second or third-hand
bone-shaker. This earned him a
severe reprimand from his parent for
reckless extravaganza, but the cri-
prit rose to the occasion. Going out
the next day he returned, having sold
the bone-shaker for $40.
