Eleven Cases Reported During July
ard August With Five Deaths.

Madison-One Of the significant
facts about the summer health record
of Wisconsin, according to the state
board Of health, is the almost negli-
gible amount of infantile paralysis.
During July only five cases and three

reau Of vital statistics, and In August

FOR PERMISSION TO USE
VOLUNTEER SYSTEM.
is GENERAL HOLWAY'S PLAN
Would Give Registered Men Chance to
Get Into Service at Once-Second
Draft Army Will Be Called
Latter Part OF This Year.

Madison-~If the war department is
willing Wisconsin's second draft army
will be composed entirely of yolun-
teers. Gov. Philip wrote Secretary
OF War Baker asking permission to
put in force the plan worked out by
Adjt. Gen. Orlando Holway Of the
Wisconsin National guard.
Approval by President Wilson and
Secretary Baker is necessary before
any steps can be taken. The second
draft army is expected to be raised
the latter part of this year or the first
of next and it is assumed that the
same number of men will be required
as the first, which is 1876 for Wis
consin.
It is the idea of Adjt. Gen. HOlway
that this number be raised If Wash
ington will allow the Wisconsin Ma
tional guard to be recruited up to full
war strength.
It is pointed out that each Of the
draft boards could act as ex-of1cio re-
Cruiting agents. 1t was further stated
by Adjt. Gen. Holway that this would
give many hundreds Of registered men
a chance to get into the service right
away, as any registered man can vol
unteer so long as he has not been
called for civil examination.

OFFICIALS WELL PLEASED WITH
RESULT OF 1917 STATE FAIR.
Attendance Figure Broken Despite
Rainy Weather Which MARRIED
Milwaukee Day.

Milwaukee Toe 1917 State fair was
the best and largest attended fair In
the history of Wisconsin. The total
attendance at this years fair was
189,184 compared with 165,046 last
year, an increase of 24,038.
While official receipts of the week
cannot be issued for few days until
the various departments have been
checked up, it is almost certain that
the 1917 exposition will be financial
success. Attendance records OF for
mer years were shattered despite the
fact that Milwaukee day, which had
been depended upon to attract $4,000
persons, was married by unfavorable
weather.
Secretary Oliver T.. Remey, In re-
viewing the fair, said
"The greatest State fair Wisconsin
ever has seen has just closed. There
is no reason why the 1913 fair should
not be better than the fair of 1917.
II have been gratifed over the pres
ence Of many members of The legisla-
ture this year. They have seen our
imperative needs and I am quite sure
the next session of the legislature will
give needed improvements. The legis-
lature has been more liberal to date
and now that members see the fair is
making strong strides toward real I'M
provement, they seem willing to put
the grounds in shape.
given this years fair by the citizens
of Wisconsin and northern Illinois,
and especially by Milwaukeeans. led
by the automobile dealers and the
Merchants and Manufacturers associ-
alton. The state and Milwaukee are
now shoulder to shoulder behind the
fair. The press of the state has, as
usual, been more than liberal.
"The progress we have made must
be held 1t will be the duty Of those
in charge Of the 1918 fair to not only
hold what ground has been gained.
but to gain more.
with reference to the magnitude
and quality of the 1917 fair, let those
who saw it pass Judgment
One of the features of the closing
day was the sale Of the butter and
cheese from the dairy exhibit. Several
hundred persons thronged the dairy
building when the sale opened and an
extra Gordon of police was necessary
to control the purchasers. More than
5000 pounds of cheese and 1000
pounds of butter were presented dur
ing the sale. Most Of the purchasers
were women who brougst along mar
ket baskets to take the products home.
The goods were disposed of under the
auspices of the County Council of De-
Tense. f

SET DATE FOR CHEESE DAY
Green County Fete to Be Held at
Monroe October Ninth - Linz
burger for Everybody.

Monroe-Cheese day, an original in
stitution in Green county, will be cele-
brated for the fourth consecutive year,
Oct 8, with as large preparations as
last year, when some 10000 attended.
Swiss, limburger and brick cheese
will be served free just before lunch
time on Spring square in sandwiches,
with coffee and cream. A ton Of the
choicest cheese was given away last
year The rest of the day cheese sand
witches will be sold at moderate prices
at the booths on the four corners of
the square.
A feature that has it's bearing on
conditions of the country at war will
be the exhibit of foods by the state in
the square, with explanation of the
food value of cheese, and other COM
mon food. Conservation Of food will
be urged in special talks.
The committee has arranged for all
the side attractions of town carnf-
val to amuse the children and coun-
try folk. A big parade will be held,
and a masquerade of dancers on the
square, with prizes for the best make
ups.
The historic connection of the large
ay Swiss population with the dairy in
dustry lends sentimental interest to
the fete which always brings great
crowds from all through the county.

ROBBERS MAKE A BIG HAUL

Appleton - The bank of Shiocton
was routed by professional cracksmen
and $1,000 taken. The fact that high
explosive was used and not SQUAD

committed by professionals. Add

by the fact that they took every bit OF

Entrance was gained through a barred

to bore hole over the dial of the

ably nitro-glycerine and blew the door
off. A citizen, passing the bank at
1870 a. m. noticed that every curtain
in the bank was drawn, it being Gus

DENIED LICENSE FOR AGENCY
Industrial Commission Will Not AL.
low Michigan Applicant to Open
Employment Office.

Madison - The industrial commits
sion has issued decision denying the
application of William Mitchell to con-
duct an employment agency in Mil
waukee for common labor.
A hearing was held upon this appli-
cation at Milwaukee on Aug. ~, at
which it developed that Mitchell now
conducts an employment agency at
Escanaba, Mich, and that he was de-
sirous of having license in Milwau-
kee for the reason that it has become
a great center for woodsmen who
work for lumber companies in the
northern peninsula of Michigan.
The application was opposed by the
citizens committee on unemployment.
which includes representatives Of the
city council of Milwaukee, the .coun-
ty board Of supervisors of Milwaukee.
Merchants and Manufacturers asso-
citation and the federated trades cOun-
Gil.
This committee took the position
that at this time it would be unwise
to license more private employment
agencies since all who want work can
readily obtain employment. It object
ed, moreover, to any encouragement
being given to the shipment of labor
outside of the state when the demands
of, Wisconsin industry can not be sup
piled.
Twenty-Five private employment
agents were licensed in the state this
year, all of which were in operation
last year with the exception of one
agency in Superior.
The largest number of employment
agencies are located in Milwaukee,
where there are eight agencies for
woman labor, one agency for clerical
employment, and one agency for COM
mon labor. In Madison there is one
common labor agency, one Office help
agency, two teachers agencies and
one nurses agency.
Superior and Ashland each have
two common labor agencies and there
is one private employment agent In
each of the following cities: James
Vile, Fond du Lac, and Marinette.

Fort Dodge, Aug. 6.-Three infield

pitched eight innings for the Dodgers

base hits the first part Of the game,
but in the ninth Cameron singled thru
Meyers; Lee put down a perfect bunt,
which went for hit, and Barton field
ed slowly on Clemens duplication of
this feat, it going for hit. Beatty
put Brown in as a relief pitcher. Brown
hit Durkin and LeBeau and Murphy

Payne pitched grand ball for the Wis

until the seventh inning, when Marriott
walked and Mokan hit for four bases.
Meyers singled, but Kreuger famed.
Brown was passed, but the side was
retired when Lingle flew out to Muir
ply. The two hits during this inning
were all made off Payne, as he was
hit on his right elbow while at bat,
and was out of the game, Torkelson
going in as relief.
The Dodgers connected with two hits
off Torkelson, Marriott singing to right

out and Kreuger and Brown famed.

Durkin was walked in the eighth, was
sacrificed to second, stole third and
came home on wild pitch. Murphy

With Marshalltown making six runs
in the ninth on five hits, sacrifice
