CONTROVERSY OVER SALARY
Members of Wisconsin National Guard
in Training at Fort Sheridan viii
Receive Pay at Rate of
500 a Month.

Madison -Adjutant General Holway
received a telegram from Adjutant
General H. c. d. Heistand, through
Gen. Barry, who is in command of the
central department. United States
army, informing him that members of
the Wisconsin national guard, both in
the federal service and not in the fed
eral service who are attending the
officers training camp at Fort Sheri,
dan, ILL.,, will receive pay at the rate
of 500.
This notice from the war depart
ment at Washington completely sus-
tains the position taken by Gen. Hoi-
way over the controversy arising from
the refusal of the quartermaster at
Chicago in withholding the pay OF
Wisconsin guardsmen at Fort Shert
dan. The officers in charge of the
training camp contended that the Wis
consin guardsmen were not entitled to
pay at 800 month because they had
not been discharged from the guard
The adjutant general called their at
tention to an order of the war depart
ment issued on May S, providing that
national guardsmen at training camps
were entitled to pay at 500 a MONTH
He also called their attention to tha
fact that the Wisconsin guardsmen
had been furloughed by him for three
months to attend the training camp at
Fort Sheridan and therefore they
stood on the same footing as private
persons enrolled at the training camp
and were entitled to compensation of
800 a month
The telegram from the war depart
ment at Washington stated that "fur-
loughed men who are members of the
national guards not in federal service
will receive pay of 500 month and
enlisted men of the regular army and
of the national guard in federal serv-
ice are entitled to pay of their grades
to the official date of catering the
camp any pay at the rale of 800 a
month from that time until officially
separated from the camp"
Gen. Holway was reluctant to dis
charge any of the Wisconsin guards
men attending the training camp until
he was assured they would receive
commissions in the regular army, be
cause if they We're discharged and
were unable to secure commissions
they would be lost to the national
guard because many of them would be
disqualified on account of age and dis
abilities from re-enlisting.

PLAN POTATO DRYING PLANT
Announcement Made That 7hineIand-

tory-5acked by Government.

Rhinelander - Rhinelander is to be
the home of a new industry, an inno-
vation not only in Wisconsin but in
the country, according to an announce
ment by the advancement association
here. A potato drying factory, the
product of which is potato fakes. is
the new institution which is expected
to bring considerably increased indus
trial activity to this city.
According to the announcement the
government is back of this project.
and plant now in operation in Airing
ton, Va, which was erected for expe-
rimental purposes by the government,
is to be moved here. The new process
of treating potatoes is said to be in
line with recent efforts toward food
economy, and it is pointed out that
the small tubers and culls which here
tofore have been practically a total
waste, can be utilized in the potato
drying plant and turned into market
able food product.
Oneida county's prominence as a
potato producing community is said
to be the reason for locating the new
plant here. The factory will be the
first of its kind in the United States,
it is understood, but the process has
been developed extensively in Ger
many.

ASKS ALL TO DO THEIR BIT
Defense Council Urges All Whose
Time Is Not Fully Occupied to
Register With Labor Agent.

Madison-Idlers are slackers, The
moral tone of every community ought
to make it decidedly uncomfortable
for any idle person this season.
Such is the sentiment OF the State
Council of Defense, which finds that
farmers throughout the state need ex-
ira help in cultivating and harvesting
crops. 1t also finds that experienced
farm help is not available. There are,
however, many boys and men whose
time is unoccupied or only partly
occupied. They are not doing their
full patriotic duty unless they are
busy all the time at some productive
employment.
The slogan of the State Council of
Defense is Every man on a job"
This means that all boys and young
men must work 1t means that min
listers. business men, clerks, and 9TH
ers whose whole time is not occupied
must use their spare hours and days
and their vacation periods.
Let every such person register with
the labor agent of his County Council
of Defense Then let him work when
he is notified that his services are
needed
There are Jobs for all, and to spare.
