two Bavarian divisions having been

THREE YEAR TERMS FOR
DODGE co. SUPERVISORS

AT the recent meeting of the Dodge
county board of supervisors resolu-
ton was PASSED providing for three
year terms for supervisors in the fu-
ture. They were enabled to do so by
the following section of law passed
by the last legislature:
Such board of supervisors may at
its annual November meeting provide
by resolution that, at the election to
be held in each city and village on the
first Tuesday of April following the
adoption of such resolution, such SUI
pervisor shall be elected for term of
three years, and at the annual town
meeting held on the first Tuesday of
April following the adoption of such
resolution, three supervisors shall be
elected, one for a term of one year,
one for a term of two years, and the
supervisor, designated on the ballot
as chairman, for term of three
years, and thereafter at each annual
town meeting a supervisor shall be
elected for a term of three years. In
case such resolution is adopted, SUI
pervisor elected to. succeed the chair
man shall be designated and elected
as chairman, and, in case any super
visor is elected in a year when his
term as supervisor has not expired,
his office as supervisor shall become
vacant on the tenth day following his
election as chairman and shall be
filled as provided by law.

THRIFT STAMP SALE
BEGINS DECEMBER 3
AT The P0ST0FFICE

Investment in war-Savings certifi-
Gates will be as simple as the pur-
chase of postage stamps under a plan
announced by Secretary McAdOo for
the nation wide certificate sales cam
paign which he will inaugurate on
Monday, December 3, with the as
sistance of the war-savings commit
tee which he has created. Any person
may invest amounts as small as Is
cents at time at postoffices, banks,
or trust companies, at most railroad
stations, stores, and factories, and at
many other public places where ac-
credited persons will act as author
lied selling agents.
After the sales begin the certifi-
Gates may be purchased at any time
At the average 1918 selling price such
investments in certificates will yield
4 per cent interest compounded quar-
terly. The certificates will be dated
January 2, 1918, and will mature Jan
uary 1, 1928, or five years after date
The entire wealth and security of the
United States is behind them.
The tax exemption provisions Of
these certificates, particularly from
the standpoint of the purchaser of
smaller amounts, makes the invest
ment attractive. No person may pur-
chase at one time more than 500
worth or hold at one time more than
$1,000 worth Of these certificates.
These obligations of the United
States will be evidenced by stamps of
two denominations war-savings
stamp costing SAP to $423, accord
ing to the month in which purchased,
and having a maturity value of SIS and
a thrift stamp costing 25 cents.
During December, 1917, and Janu-
airy, 1918, war-savings stamps will be
sold for SAP each. At the beginning
of each of the succeeding months of
1918, starting February 1, the cost of
a stamp will increase 1 cent per
month. All war-savings stamps issued
during 1918 will mature on January
1, 1928, when they will be redeemed at
S. each.

WATERFOWL FOOTBALL Line
HELD LIKE A STONE WALL

In the state championship game at
Marshfield Thanksgiving day, Water
town high school played the upstate
team to game, thus leaving the
state championship still undecided
but Watertown with a record of no
defeat in this section Of the state.
Capt Heuke of Watertown played a
star game for his eleven, while full
back Reynolds and tackle Goetz did
the stellar work for the Marshfield
team.
Marshfield had the ball on their op-
ponents one yard line five times, but
lacked the punch to put the ball
across for pointer. Marshfield also
tried three drop kicks all of which
fell short. The Watertown line was
like a stone wall when the ball was in
danger, but did not have the ability Of
making holes for their backfeld to
get through when on the offensive.
Watertown had the pigskin on the
Marshfield ten yard line and it looked
for awhile as if they were going to
put it over, but the Marshfield line
held and Watertown lost the ball on
downs.
