can Pres; Association, in Il lengthy AZ
ticie that deals with the subject of

Of Liberty Bonds says Mr.. McAdoo
may wait to see if country newspa-
pers will not again give their space
before agreeing to buy it, If SO. then
that means no paid advertising for the
present from that source. The country
publishers Of the nation are, as IL
whole. IL liberal and patriotic class and
we believe they will as freely enter
into the work and success of the pres
emf Liberty Loan campaign, without
remuneration, as they did the first.
And why not! If the Government
bought Sr3ace in its efforts to promote
the sale of its war bonds such fund
wclid lie acceptable by the publishers
Of the nation. and particularly so by
those Of the country diStricts-the ma
jority OF whom are poor-and the fund
so devoted would not Ee nlisappropri-
ated But, on the other hand, ii the
Government. iii the face of Il realiza-
ton of all the country publishers have
done for it in the way of free adver-
Using during the many years that have
PASSED, wi:l,llolds its patronage, that
would not in the estimation of the
great ina jority offer Il sufficient reason
for refusing to give publicity to the
present lond issue campaign or those
to follow.
The country publishers only are here
under discussion, and, as has before
been said. they are good patriots. Love
cf country springs within their breasts
the same as it does within yours; and
perhaps, by virtue of their. wide scope
of reading. they are better qualified IL

P Philips PORTRAIT
I FOR STATE CAPITOL

A painting of Governor Philip,
which is to be hung in the executive
chamber of thea state capitol, has just
been finished by Nicholas r. Brewer
of St. Paul. The artist is now in Chi
cago selecting a frame for the pic
ture. The portrait of Governor F. E.
McGovern, by the same artist, was
hung in the executive chamber last
week. On the walls of the executive
chamber are all of the pictures OF
Wisconsin governors. Brewer is an
extremely fast worker and requires
only few days under ordinary cir
cumstance to finish a picture. The
picture of Governor Edward Scofield
was painted by Mrs. L. FL. Bancroft
of Richland Center. She also painted
the picture of Senator Robert. M. La
toilette, which now hangs in the priv
ate Office of the executive chamber.

GOVERNMENT ISSUES
OFFICIAL NEWSPAPER

Uncle Sam has gone into the news
paper business. The first issue has
reached this Office and is about the
size of two and half pages of the pa
per you are now reading. The paper
is called the Official Bulletin" and
naturally scorns all advertising. The
heads of the articles are just as large
on the last page as the first and there
is little attempt to play up the news.
The paper is issued by a committee
composed of the secretaries of state,
war, and navy, with George Creel as
chairman. The first issue is filled
with official news pertaining to the
president, the treasury, national park
service, shipping, executive orders
and kindred matters. Personals,
poetry, editorials, weddings, obituaries,
robberies and similar news are passed
over by the editor of the Official
Bulletin There is, however, much
interesting reading, and the public
generally will welcome the Dublica-
ton.

TRAIN DEP ARTS.
PASSENGERS LEFT
Members Of John Muir Walking
Club larry at Devils Lake to En-
joy the Scenery

Time, tides and trains wait indefin-
itely for no man. On Sunday about
forty members Of the John Muir walk
ing club of Madison left the train at
Merrimack and walked across the
country to Parfrey's glen and Point
Sank, the highest elevation land in the
county. From there they strolled to
Devils Lake and when the train reach
ed the station about half-past four
o'clock, there was an excited array OF
humanity extending half the way from
the Devils Doorway to the depot. One
of the. members of the club was from
the office of the state railroad commits
sion, and he persuaded the conductor
to hold the train for several minutes
until the walkers, now speeded up to
running, could get aboard Some were
so nearly exhausted they were ready
to drop when they reached the steps
of the special car provided for them.
The time came when the train could
wait no longer and several of the mem
bers were left behind to enjoy the

resort provided accommodations for
the night and made them as cOmfOrta-
BILE as possible in body, but as to mind,
that was out of the question. After
spending the night at the resort they
were welcomed to their homes in Mad
ison, having a new experience to re-
late around the family ffesides.
For the trip of about twelve miles
the day was bright and nature smiled.
T. S. Morris, the president Of the club,
led the way; Professor Samuel Weld
man told Of the geological formations
at the glen and elsewhere along the
route. Mrs. Pearl NJ Smith, botanist,
found rare specimens, and others dis
covered enough scenery during the
day to amply repay for the trip. The
miniature mountain gorge was never
more interesting, with the little
stream laughing as it poured over and

FORM FIRST UNIT
Officials Believe Wisconsin Guards
men VIII Be Among Initial
French Fighting Force; to Or
ganize at Sparta

That Wisconsin guardsmen are like
Nv to figure in the first fighting force
to be sent to France, is the opinion
expressed by Madison officials follow
ing the announcement from Washing
ton that the expedition to be sent to
the firing line in Europe will be made
up in part of guardsmen who made
good record on the Mexican border
The announcement from the nation
al capital that the regiments of ar
tillery will be organized at Sparta
has no bearing on the recruiting work
being carried on under the direction
of the adjutant generals department
It simply means that the two regi-
ments will be organized by the fed
eral government at the Sparta reser-
walton, but Uncle Sam will, In all
probability expect to recruit this force
largely in this state.

Monday in Camp Douglas, where he
