Vigorous Action on Part of Governor
Randall Necessary to Stop this
Practice of Wisconsin
Localities.

When Wisconsin was called upon to
furnish volunteers in 1861 there de-
veloped a feverish activity throughout
the state. Each locality was determin-
ed to raise a company Of soldiers and
force them upon the state or national
authorities. At first, friendly rivalry
existed everywhere, but as the re-
cruiting progressed, some Of the towns
became desperate in attempting to com
plete their quota, and brides were
offered to induce men to desert one
company and join another. The Wis
consin Historical Society is in posses
sion Of numerous letters addressed
to Governor Harvey and to the adju-
tant general Of the state protesting
against this practice. Recruiting Of
fcers found that they were unable to
hold men in face of the brides held out
to them by certain rival captains. Fl
nally Governor Randall had to take
action, and on December II, 1861, is
sued an order revoking the commits
sion Of any officer who attempted to
induce an enlisted man to leave the
, company in which he had enrolled and
join another. Thereafter the prac-
tice almost ceased.

SHOES LIKE
THEIR OWNERS
REQUIRE REST

The proper care of shoes will not
only do much to extend the life of the
shoe, but will also improve its appear
ance, says Charlotte E. Carpenter of
the Colorado Agricultural college.
Keep the heels squared. A run
over" heel forces the counter out of
shape and often breaks it.
Avoid getting leather wet, but when
wet and muddy, gently wipe off the
mud instead of letting it dry on and
while the leather is still wet, rub in
a little warm oil. The shoe should
dry slowly. Do not place it in hot
over or on hot radiator, as intense
heat and cold are bad for leather and
especially the changes from one to the
other.

WHAT WISCONSIN HAS DONE

Highway Commission, suspended road
work wherever possible and sent the
road gangs into the grain fields.
Conducted a comprehensive state
wide investigation OF the fuel situa-
ton, the information secured having
been forwarded to Washington.
Induced the Wisconsin railroads to
sell or give away discarded railway
ties for f1rewood
Sent an appeal over the state for
farmers and people in small cities
to burn wood instead Of coal, a prac-
tice which has resulted in some relief
in the coal situation.
Organized a state Health Aid Course
through a special appropriation OF
SIC, 900 by the legislature. The object
is TO train young women to take the
place of registered nurses in caring
for the civilian sick during the war.
More than 100 of these young women
are in training.
| Has conducted, with the co-opera
ton of the State Industrial Commits
| sion and the insurance men of the
| state, a statewide inspection and cen
sus of storage plants, warehouses and
| factories, with a view OF preventing
| fire losses and conserving food
One of these activities deserves
more than passing mention. Because
of the increased production it was
early decided by the State Council Of
| Defense that a market must be pro-
vided for the men who had expended
money and time in planting additional
crops. The department OF the market
| commissioner was created, and the
| commissioner is in touch hourly with
the markets Of the state. He acts as
a go-between for the producer and the
consumer For one he provides a
ready market; for the other he re-
duces the cost OF living. Unnecessary
middleman profits are eliminated, the
producer is receiving a satisfactory
price. and the consumer Is buying for
less than at any time since war prices
prevailed.
The work Of the State Council OF
Defense has been made possible by
the co-opera ton Of the people of the
state. The foundation was laid by the
legislature and the results obtained
{ can be credited largely 20 the mem
bers Of the County Councils Of De
tense and other loyal citizens of every
: community, who have supported the
efforts Of these auxiliaries Of the State
, Council

4 SOLDIER'S

From Lieut.. Lloyd E. Thruch
In charge, Press Headquarters,
Camp Grant, Illinois.
Camp Grant, Ill.-Private James c.
Miller, Company D, 21st Engineers,
Light Railways, attached to the Seth
Division, under Major General Thos.
H. Barry, must have been well versed
in his nightly prayer, as evidenced by
the following, reconstructed interpre-
tation, he gives.
Private Miller, probably found the
exigencies Of army life not, in accord
with the blessings asked in the old
tin1e bedside prayer and believes he
has hit upon a more satisfactory con-
science easing prayer. It IS said, he
has very popular expression of night
ly reverence, as large corus joins him
in his little chant, when tattoo sounds.
Now I lay me down to sleep.
I pray the Lord my soul to keep,
Grant no other soldier take
Ny shoes and socks before wake.
Lord guard me in my sleep,
And keep my bunk upon its feet;
May the bunk not tear or break

And let me down before | wake.

And let me down before | wake.
Keep me safely in Thy sight
And grant no fire drill tonight;
And in the morning let me wake
Breathing whiffs of sirloin steak.
Lord protect me in my dreams
And make this better than it seems.
Grant the time may swiftly fly
When I myself may rest on high
In a snowy feather bed,
Where I long to rest my head.
Far away from all these scenes,
From the smell of pork and beans !;
Take me back into the land,
Where they don't scrub down with
sand,
Where no demon Lake Shore"
blows,
And where the women wash the
clothes.
Lord Thou knowest all my woes,
Feed me in my dying throes.
Take me back and I'll promise
Thee
To not leave home and cross the
sea.
