MARRIAGE AND The DRAFT
AND RULES ENFORCED

A ruling which is of particular in
terest to all men subject to the draft
who are married, has been made by
the provost marshal general:
Marriage is not of itself a valid
ground for making claim of discharge.
A man whose wife is mainly depend
ent on his daily labor for support may
dependency is a matter of fact. The
rule does not ask: is the husband, as
a matter Of law, liable to support the
wife?' 1t asks: is the wife as a mat
ter of fact mainly dependent on the
daily labor of her husband for sup
determine this fact Where depend
ency is claimed and the circumstances
show a marriage hastily consummated
since July 20 by a man whose number
is high on the available list, the actu-
al fact of dependency must be closely
scrutinized. Moreover, by section of
the act of May IS, any person who
evades or aids another to evade the
requirements of this act is guilty of
a misdemeanOr, and local boards are
authorized to warn persons who
claim discharge on the ground Of mar
rage contracted since the date of the
act that both PARTIES are liable to
prosecution under this provision if,
in fact, the marriage was contracted
solely with the intent to evade the
performance of military duty"

OFFICIAL COMPANY PAPER
MAKES ITS APPEARANCE

The Reveill-E is the title Of four
page publication issued by members
of Co. E, w. N. G. in Watertown Satur-
day. 1t is called the official organ of
the company and contains many
things of interest to the public and
the members of the company Among
the items is the following:
"a relic of the famous Iron Brigade
that is going to camp with Company E
is the old brass infantry bugle which
was presented to Private Walter Simon
some years ago by the local chapter
of the G. A. R. The old Iron Brigade
bugle has reused the echoes with it's
taps" over the grave of many a vet
eran of the Civil war and now it is
once more coming back into it's own
and may again be sounded on the bat
tlefeld.
ItNwas formerly the property of the
late Charles Wenck, who carried it
through the Civil war The battered
old horn has been patched in several
places. Half way up the bell there is a
brass collar which covers a place
where bullet went through during
the battle of Gettysburg"

BOYS AND GIRLS CAMP AGAIN
A BIC STATE FAIR FEATURE
Boys Band Of Fifty OF BeIot VIII Be Assigned Entirely
to This Deparment-Over 10000 Children to Sing

Sept 10.

Milwaukee, Aug. 80. - Under direc-
ton Of Professor Thomas l.. Bewick
Of University Of Wisconsin, who also
Is Uncle Sans representative in this
work in Wisconsin, the Wisconsin
State Fair established an agricultural
Boys and Girls department in 1915,
and this department is destined to be
one of the strongest factors of the
great annual exposition.
During 1915 and 1916 the Badger
State farm boys and girls showed great
interest in the competitions and dem
onstrations of this department, and
their interest this year indicates a rec

CUT THE WEEDS.
Good Time Now To Stop the Hay
Fever.

The Madison State Journal, waking
up to menace which has been re-
ferred to in these columns, remarks:
Why wait till hay fever is in full
swing, before cutting down the weeds
which cause it? Every town in the
country has it's vacant lots overgrown
with the weeds whose pollen soon will
begin to blow into the noses of those
subject to the affection Now is the
time to cut down these rank growths.
Now hay fever is no joke 1t is dis
ease. Some of it's victims it incapaci-
tates only partly, some wholly. A COM
petent BUSINESS man, fiat on his back,
his temperature above normal, re-
curing the almost continuous atten-
ton Of someone to put bandages dipped
in boric acid solution over his eyes
for days at a time, is not a fit subject
for humor. This misery is to a large
extent preventable If all weedy
growths within reasonable distance of
habitattOns are cut down, the suffer
ing from hay fever this summer can
be minimized if not wholly removed.
Weeds are also the kaiser's allies The
pollen which blows over the country
next month will cause much extra
work in next years garden. To stop
work for day or two now to remove
the Objectionable plants before their
period of reproduction will save much
more than the same time next sum-
mer Also, the country needs the nor
NAL energy of the hay feverites this
year. Cut the weeds down now!

WILL NOTIFY PUBLIC
when TROOPS DEPART

When the call comes for the men,
bers of Co. E, w. N. G. to entrain for
Camp Douglas, the public will be no
titled of the time by blowing the fire
whistle. 1t has been decided to sound
blast for every three hours which
will intervene between the time the
message is received and the time of
departure.
For illustration, when the message
comes to entrain: If the troops are to
leave in six hours, two blasts Of the
whistle will be sounded; if in twelve
hours, 4 blasts, and if in twenty-four
hours, s blasts.
AS many women wish to donate
sandwiches, cakes and the like, blow
ing the whistle will give them notice
of the time of departure and they can
govern themselves accordingly.

Sunday, August II, GAINESVILLE at

By defeating Whitewater Sunday

Anweiler was in the pink of condition,

FAILURE TO REPORT
EQUIVALENT TO DESERTION

Provost Marshal General Crowder in
failure of men called for examination
under the draft law automatically in
Quoted them into the military service
Failure to report was equivalent to
desertion
There is nothing to resist at this
stage in the execution Of the law All
male persons between the ages of 81
and 80, inclusive have been enrolled
for military service A preliminary
call has gone forth to some such per-
sons, but the immediate and actual OBJ
ject of this call is merely to provide an
opportunity for such persons, or for
someone else in respect of them, to
present to the government reasons
why they should not be finally ordered
to report for military duty. If such
persons do not appear and present
these reasons, they have simply ne
elected to take advantage of an OPP
pOrtunity that was offered solely for
their benefit. The failure of persons to
take advantage of this opportunity
does not interfere with the raising of
the army and interests the government
only as punishable crime of omission.
II they do not desire to make any
such claims, or if for any other rea-
son they fail to appear, their names
are automatically posted as having
been called and not exempt or dis
charged. Automatically also, they are
indicted into the military service and
made subject to military law. Failure
to appear merely hastens the auto
matte process.
When the time allowed for making
these claims has elapsed these persons
will be enrolled as in the military
service. They will then be ordered to
appear as soldiers From this point
on they will be under the swift and
summary procedure of court martial.
Failure to report for military duty
when ordered to do so constitutes de-
sertion. Desertion in time of war is a
capital offense.
Deserters may be apprehended by
either civil or military authority, and,
after the mandate of the federal gov
eminent has gone forth, the whole
strength of the military arm of the
government is available to apprehend
deserters, if it is necessary to use
such force.

.PARTOL WAGON FOR POLICE
BADLY NEEDED HERE

There is no question but what a
patrol wagon for the use of the pO-
lice department is a needed require
ment, and some sort of vehicle should
be provided il better service is of any
consequence, as we believe it is in
this age of rapid transportation. At
present when a call for the police
comes from a remote part Of the city
the officer is compelled to walk, which
requires considerable time and in
many cases defeats the end sought
and required of that official
1t is claimed that in cities smaller
than Watertown police patrol is
maintained
An automobile is popular vehicle
and is one which would meet the re-
quirements and can be purchased at a
small cost; it seems that the invest
ment should be made.

HAZARDS OF HUMAN LIFE
SHOULD Be PROTECTED

H. p. Bahr of the Guardian Life In
surance company, when asked for a
short discourse on his views of in
surance for the individual, stated:
Fer most of the economic hazards
OF life there has been developed an
appropriate method for the distribu-
ton Of losses and the subsequent elm
ination Of risks. Insurance is one of
them and that people believe in in
surance the fact that in Watertown
alone $4,000 was paid out for death
claims in 1916 proves conclusively
that the people of Watertown have
confidence in the merit of insurance -
When asked if the insurance car
ried in Watertown could be COM
pared favOrably with that of other
cities, he said: LAS regards popula-
ton it does compare favorably but in
solar as regards the amount of insur-
ance carried against loss by fire in
Watertown it is not up to expectations
Tor man surely values his life more
than his property"
Asked why people do not insure, he
said: "The failure of not insuring
, themselves is Indifference or lack OF
forethought concerning the problems
of the future. Take the laboror for in
stance No matter how efficient he
may be, who has as result of either
individual or collective bargaining Sc.
cured job for himself even if at a
wage and under-hour limitations
which are temporarily acceptable, his
economic position is still precarious
He and his family are still face to face
with exceptional economic risks in
Guiding the suffering and want fol-
lowing accident, illness, premature
death and unemployment. He does not
seem to understand" continued Mr.
Bahr that insurance taken out while
he is working and while he is we'll will
offer haven of refuge for those who
are dependent for support upon his
labor"
Upon being asked by the reporter
whether insurance as a whole in the
United States was picking up, Mr.
Bahr said: "a total of $758,5OO, 600
last year. Nearly $3O0,OOO,OOO was
paid to living policy holders and the
! balance represents death claims. The
largest single claim paid in Wisconsin
last year was policy for $4,000 in
Racine. The largest claim paid in the
United States was $1,525, 900 on the
life of Thomas L. Shelvin of Minneap-
oils, the second largest was the case
|of Lewis Parker, Greenville, S. c."
In concluding Mr.. Bahr said as re-
CARDS the social benefits of insurance
to the community:
"It is clearly recognized that insur-
ance is the most effective device for
protecting society itself against the
pressure of incapacitated individuals
who otherwise would be thrown upon
the community for maintenance"

Farewell Military Ball Saturday Ey.
ening Draws Well.

The second and last dance to be
given by Co. E, w. N. G. before depart
ing for Camp Douglas was held in the
Armory Saturday evening very
large number of people attended,
many out of town visitors being. there.
The dance was all that could be de-
sired and the hall was very prettily
decorated, as more pains were taken
with the decorations than at the pre-
vious dance. This was due to the fact
that when this last farewell dance
will remain as a memory only, the
decorations will be one of the fea-
lures that will help bring back vision
of the splendid time enjoyed The in
spiration was furnished by Pat Nett
zel's orchestra and was greatly en-
joyed as it is composed of members,
who, having joined the guards, formed
company orchestra.
Refreshments were served and this
was not the least enjoyable feature OF
the event.
