IT HERE is toast and toast.
One is just plain, everyday
toast-cut in clumsy slices; with
a thick, brittle crust; hard and
dry except in the soggy places
where the butter has soaked
through.
The other is the kind you get
on dining cars and in best res
taurants. Served in a silver
boat, on snowy linens; with a
pat of butter at the side so you
may spread it to suit. 1t comes
to you,a glorious sunny brown
and as tender as when first
baked. Its crust is so thin you
hardly notice it at all. Andthe
slices are wafer-like, easily sep
arated into dainty halves.

The bill provides that any person
who is disqualified for or exempt from
military service. or who is more es-
pecially qualified for civilian service

in a branch or division of the civilian
service as may best serve the inter-
ests Of the state of the nation in the
present war with Germany. The state
council OF defense is authorized to
assign to any person enlisting in such
division of civilian service such duties
as they may deem necessary for the
interest of the state and nation. The.
bill carries an unlimited appropriation.

DEFENSE UNITS ARE URGED
State Council Issues Appeal to County
Boards to Cooperate in Aid
ing Government.

Madison-"Win the war with food"
the slogan of Washington authorities,
has become the battle cry of the state
council of defense.
1t was sent forward to every section
of Wisconsin in a letter to the chair
man OF county boards. urging the or
ganization of county defense councils
in order to coordinate all our efforts
with those of the federal government
and with those of other states"
1t was picked up and carried on by
A. K. Hirst of the highway commls-
sion, on the curtailment of road build
ing, because this is not the time for
those in charge of road improvements
in Wisconsin in any way to embarrass
the labor market so that the farmers
can not contribute their share of ma
tional defense by producing as much
food as it is possible for item to pro-
duce"
The state board of agriculture,
moved ly the same patriotic spirit, an
nounced that at the coming county
fairs premiums will be awarded on
the basis of production rather than
upon quality, because the board wants
to do its bit ito win the war with
food"

GROWERS IN STATE.

Agriculture Department May In
sPect Them and Release
Ones Unfit for Seed.

Madison-At a conference in Gov.
Philips office definite arrangements
were outlined whereby the state cOun.
Gil of defense will cooperate with the
farmers OF Wisconsin in the interest
of a larger crop of potatoes. The meet.
ing was marked by a note of harmony,
the dealers showing willingness to
adjust their business affairs TO con
form with the plans OF the state.
GOV Philip announced that in the
northern part OF Wisconsin, where po
tatoes are grown for commercial pur
poses. The acreage will be about nor.
mai, If not little above normal. and
there will be no shortage of seed. 1t
appears. however, that in the south
ern section the acreage will be below
normal.
The dealers have abour $50 carloads,
and it is estimated that not more than
one-third of this supply viii prove fit
for seed purposes. An agreement was
entered into whereby the dealers will
hold the $50 carloads for another
week so that the agricultural depart
ment may inspect them. releasing
whatever is considered unfit to be
taken over for seed. A plan has been
agreed upon for the purchase of pota-
toes by the banks of the state which
will sell them to the farmers.

SEEK DIVORCE LAW CHANGE
Bill Provides That Consent Must Be-
Secured From Divorce Counsel
Before Action Can Be Started.

Madison - The most important
change proposed in the divorce laws
of Wisconsin for many years is offered
in the bill which has been reported
for Rassage by the Judiciary commit
tee and is now pending on the senate
calendar.
The measure provides that no di-
vorce action shall be begun in Wiscon-
sin unless the written consent of the
divorce counsel for bringing the action
is obtained. A limitation states, of
course, that the statutes eshan only
apply when both parties to the action
are in the state.
The idea of the bill is that many
reconciliations will be effected, and
many divorces prevented if the law is
passed, and that if the parties meet
with the divorce counsel, prior to the
beginning of the action, the tendency
will be to prevent the divorce rather
than to provide for the action being
started.
By some, the constitutionality of the
law is doubted, and Judge Clementson
has raised the point that it depriyes a
person of right to an action in court.
To this, answer rs made that the di-
vorce action is surely statutory any
way, and that therefore the legislature
has the right 10 make what restric-
tions it desires.
The bill is said to have the support
of a large number of sociologists who
have given study to the divorce ques-
ton. One of the objections raised to
the bill is that it places too much pow
er with the divorce counsel

DRAFT LAW is URGED FRENCH IN BIG DRIVE
VOLUNTEER PLAN SHOWN TO BE
FAILURE, SAYS WILSON,.
President Says seleetiVe Method
Means Service for Ali--6eiieVes
System Not Understood.

Washington, April 21.-President
Wilson sent letter 10 Representative
delivering of Kansas explaining and
strongly supporting the administers
tion's army bin with its seIective COP
ScriptiOn plan. The letter indicated
the purpose of the administration to
insist upon enactment of the measure
vigorously. 1t follows:
II welcome the inquiry of your let
ter of April l9 because | have realized
the truth of what you say from my
own observations, namely. that what
is mean TO be understood by the Sc
iective draft is not generally under
stood throughout the country.
The process of the draft is. think,
very clearly set forth III the bill draft
ed by the war department and which
| so earnestly hope the congress will
adopt, but it, is worth while to state
the idea which underles the bill lit
tie more fully
II took occasion the other day in an
address to the people of the country TO
point out the many forms of patriotic
service that were open TO them and to
emphasize the fact that the military
part of the service was by no means
the only part, and perhaps, all
things considered, not the most vital
part.
Our object is mobilization Of all
the productive and active forces of the
nation and their development to the
highest point of cooperation and 6 II
cheney and the idea of the selective
draft is that those should be chosen for
service in the army who can be most
readily spared from the prosecution of
the other activities which it must de-
vote great deal of its best energy
and capacity.
The volunteer system does not do
this. When men choose themselves
they sometimes choose without due re-
gard TO their other responsibilities"
