A MIGHTY ACHIEVEMENT.
Removes Mountain -Barriers-Con
serves Earth's Treasures.

Mighty indeed-for not alone has
the Milwaukee Road by it's electrifl-
cation across the Continental Divide
(now being extended through the Cas-
cade Range) leveled the mountains as
a barrier to transportation-bu has
also released great stores of earth
treasured energy for other much
needed purposes -es.
BY utilizing the hitherto wasted
power OF mountain waterfalls to
move the heavy steel trains across
the mountains of the northwest, there
is conserved annually over a quarter
of million tons Of coal, over half a
million barrels of Oil, and the thous-
ands of cars necessary to transport
this fuel are freed to serve other
pressing needs of transportation.
In this world crisis, when every re-
source of the nation is taxed to its
utmost, this milwaukee, achieve
ment takes on extreme Importance.
When next you journey to the cit
les of the Pacific Northwest travel the
smooth, smokeless, cinderless electric
way-via the Chicago, Milwaukee &
st. Paul Railway.

quest to the agent of this railway

DENTAL ASSOCIATION met
THURSDAY AT CITY HALL

A meeting of the Jefferson County
Dental association was held in the
city hall here Thursday afternoon
DR.. l.. A. Meyer of OconomOwoc,
member of the Waukesha- Oconomo-
woo Dental society, was the speaker
Of the afternoon He spoke on the
benefits of the society that has been
formed, stating that the great strides
being now made in dental work neces-
states the keeping in touch with all
the latest work done by the dentist.
New discoveries by specialists can be
learned through the organization by
having these men speak to the asso-
citation at a meeting. Individually they
could not do this, but through the as
ISOLATION they will be able to secure
the specialists to speak at the meet
ings.
All the Watertown dentists were
present at the meeting and a repre-
sentative gathering from the neigh
boring towns
The next meeting will be at Fort
Atkinson on December T. The speak
ers will be men of reputed merit, and
specialists in their line.

LIBERTY LOAN BONDS
NOT GOING VERY FAST

The total subscriptions which all
available bank reports show in the
entire Seventh Federal Reserve dis
trict are only two hundred thirty
millions, which, is less than sixty per
cent of the minimum allotment of the
district. :. There are but three days
more before the campaign ends. It is
obviously imperative that some heroic
work be done in order to produce
minimum allotments. The maximum
allotment of seven hundred million
dollars should be reached in order to
show that the people are solidly be-
hind. the government. The, qutoa for
Wisconsin is eighty-four million dol
lars. The actual results: thus far are
thirty-four million one hundred and
seventy-nine thousand

FOOTBALL

Horizon will play the Watertown
high school football team here Satur-
day afternoon at Washington park.
The game will be called at 3 o'clock.
The snow interefered but slightly
with Coach Thomas arranged sched-
ule as he has had the boys hard at
work every evening this week.
Reports from the enemy's camp
have it that Jackson's hopefuls are
working in good order for the coming
game. Horizon was defeated by Bea-
yer Dam, and the locals cleaned up
the latter team in great shape when
they visited there few weeks ago.
What is lacking in most of the foot
ball games played here is good strong
roofing, for with the proper support
behind them the boys will fight to a
finish. Remember there is the Fort
Atkinson game coming, so get out and
exercise your bellows. You'll need
them when the Fort game is played,
and if you think you won't, you're not
a true blue football fan.
Jackson Of Horizon will pick his
team from among the following play
ers: w. Lang, Walter LansssE. Schroe-
der, A. Vesper, M. Diekleman, NJ
Witty, r. Gibson, w. Zuelke, P
Schwantes, G. Kowalski, l.. Raue, E.
Stohlkopf, E. Frienwald, c. Strehlow,
w. Bird, E. Carnal. Coach Thomas is
not likely to change the lineup
great deal and the following Water
town men will start the game: Wege-
man rh, Kaminski In, Buffmeier OBJ,
Henke fb, K. Archie re, Sandrock le,
Maerzke TT, Pieritz 1t, Boettcher re,
Archie-Bentzin lg, B. Woodland c.
The Northwestern eleven will play
Beloit at Beloit Saturday. Though
Coach Kowalke is handicapped in not
being able to use all of his regular
players owing to injuries received in
previous games, the squad has been
training lightly as most Of the men
are in good shape, having had a pref
ty stiff workout when they played
Whitewater last Saturday Kowalke
will probably send in the following
men to start the game: Utzmann re,
Duke OBJ, Henning, Timmel In, Zeisler
fb Siefert lg,- Matzke C, Tackle 1t,
Plantz lie, Hagley, Leisener rg, Falk IT.

favored in being granted the pleasure
of hearing this man of whom so much
praise has been heard lately Other
cities have tried to secure but were
unsuccessful. So it is up to every
loyal citizen to be at the high school
to hear this lecture, which will begin
PROMPTLY at o'clock.

ARMY RECRUITING OFFICERS
SPEND TWO DAYS HERE

Sergeants G. E. Davidson and O. D.
Christner, recruiting officers for the
regular and national army, were in
the city Thursday and Friday.
The object in visiting the city was
indirectly to secure recruits and to
demonstrate how the new cruiser car
is applicable to army work They left
for Madison, their recruiting head
quarters, today.
Both sergeants came to the city
with an appeal for recruits. Those
wishing to join can be enlisted for
the camp at Waco, Texas, where they
will be assigned to the regiment of the
local Company E boys. Those who
have been drafted and called before
the examining board cannot enlist,
but those who have been drafted may
enlist
Men are needed in the following de-
partments- infantry, cavalry, field
artillery, cooks and BARRIERS of the
quartermaster's corps, checkers, la
Dorers. Railroad men with two years.
experience will be accepted and will
see active service within a short
time. Radio and electrical men in all
branches are needed for the signal
corpss of the regular army.
Those wishing to join may apply
for enlistment at the postoffice or the
recruiting station at Madison. Those
enlisting now will serve for the dura-
ton of the war. In connection with
enlistments at the present time the
TACT that there is to be another train
ing camp for officers in January is
important, for probably 80 per cent of
those who enlist now will be assigned
to the camp.
