The corl.y bays . bounty for each pair captured. The cause the dry season on the lands not now irrigated has driven the rab- bits to the green fields where theyare eating much $35 ton hay.
 Miss Gladys de Cercq and Miss Evelyn Pierce originated the plan. They are also among the most expert of the club throwers. The first night they made study of the methods which would be most effective in making the drives successful with the result that 1000 pairs of rabbit ears were brought in on the second night. The county authorities have such con fidence in the young women that the count made under their supervision is accepted as official.
 Rabbit drives will be held at Saca, ton, the Indian school and government experimental farm soon. The money raised by the drives in this district will also go towards the Red Cross. The chief reason for the big drives to be held by the Indians who reside on the reservation will be the protection of the 160-acre war garden which is thriving under the care of the pat riotic Pima Indians. Thedrives will also protect the fields of Egyptian cotton which has proven to be com mercial product for, the hot, long sea- son of the Arizona lowlands.
 A number of eastern people who had stopped off to visit the ruins of Casa Grande which are in the broad mesquite plains near the Gila river, participated in the drive. Here in the midst of an ancient city stands an immense rectangular structure of several stories. The foundations of the building were uncovered under the direction of the Smithsonian In- stitution. These are considered the oldest ruins in America and are thought to directly precede the cliff dwellings. The tourists declared that the rabbit drive added another experi- ence to a well filled trip to the Apache Trail.

ONE OF 81 VARIETIES

A unique scheme to add to the
revenues of the Government has
been devised by Representative Vic
tor Heintz Of Ohio. Mr.. Heintz pro-
poses that the Postmaster General
shall have printed and sold ''patri-
otto stamps to be placed on the
backs of envelopes, post cards, etc.
The stamps are to be of 1-cent de-
nomination, and are to prominently
display the American flag. After
the cost of printing and selling the
stamps has been betrayed Mr.. Heintz
intends that the balance of the pro-
ceeds from their sale shall be paid
annually into the Treasury. The
success of the annual Red Cross
stamp sales indicates to Mr.. Heintz
that his plan, if adopted, will prove
a success, and he intends to secure
the passage through Congress of a
bill containing his proposal

Butte, Mont, June 13.-Rescue work
In the Granite Mountain and Specula-
tor mines, which were swept by fire
last Friday, has progressed to such
an extent that it was thought pos
sible that every level of the COM
pany's properties, except those below
the 2,S00-foot level which have been
flooded with water will have been ex-
plOred in a few hours
The latest recapitulation by the COM

titled; total bodies recovered, 109;
bodies remaining in mine (estimated),
81; total dead, Ill; 81 have been res.
cued alive.
Martin Clarity, Mike Sullivan, STAN
ley Lorenzkeicz, Clarence Marthey
and Ole T. Erickson were rescued
alive on the 2,2O0-foot level.
It was possible to identify only one
of the nineteen bodies taken out,
that of John Lisa The others were
swollen by gas to twice their nor
NAL size, bearing little semblance to

BATTLEFLAGS RECALL
WIScONSIN'S VALOR

Many old battlefags, which recall
striking incidents in Wisconsin's history,
are being taken out of their cases in
the Wisconsin Historical museum at
Madison and spread out in public
exhibits to revive the memory of the
states patriotic service in former
national crises.
The same signal corps flag with which
Lieut. William Ware wig-wagged Gen
eral Sherman's historic message to Adj
miral Dahlgrin's fleet on the Ogeechee
below Savannah on Dec. 13, 1864, is
shown with the original message as
written by Sherman pinned on the flag.
Remnants of many Confederate battle
flags taken by Wisconsin companies
recall decisive battles of the Civil war.
The silk United States flag pre-
sented to Company D of the First Wis
consin volunteer infantry by women of
West Bend in November, 1861, is
shown. A homemade Union flag which
was SpT0du Oh Lie diIdI VI LIE OHlOu
league at Prairie du Chen where many
citizens swore to protect the country
with their influence, property, and
lives, is in tatters from its long
service. The Spanish American war is
recalled by two flags which were cap
tured from battleships of General
Cervera's fleet during the battle of
Santiago.
The colors of all of the Wisconsin
Civil and Spanish American war regi-
ments, some 5000 in all, were for many
wears in the care Of the State Historical
museum, but were returned to the
capitol several years ago.

THE NAMING OF WISDOM
SIMS COUNTIES: SHEBOYGAN

An ancient tale, it's details vary
ing with fresh telling, has recently
been applied by well-knoWn Wis
consin writer to the name of She
boygan county. AS thus told it re-
lates that a certain wisconsin chief
was the father of many daughters
but, to his great disappointment, no
sons had come to bless his wigwam.
On the successive occasions of the
breaking to him of the news of the
birth of a daughter the chief was
wont to exclaim in his disappoint-
ment "She boy 'gin!"-cOnsequently
the origin and significance Of the
name of the modern city and county.
The absurdity of this explanation is
sufficiently obvious; the real mean
ing of ShebOygan, undoubtedly a
word of Indian origin, is not, how
ever, certainly known. By arly
writer's in the Collections of the
Wisconsin Historical society two
meanings have been advanced. Ac-
cording to one explanation Sheboy-
gan means "a noise underground
Or "a river disappearing under
ground" the second version is 'a
perforated object, such as pipe
stem or hollow bone"

SALTS IF bACKACHY
AND KIDNEYS HURT
Drink lots of water and stop eating
meat for while if your Bladder
troubles you.

When you wake up with backache and
dull misery in the kidney region it gen.
orally means you have been eating too
much meat, says well-known authority.
Meat forms uric acid which overworks
the kidneys in their effort to filter it
from the blood and they become sort of
paralyzed and loggy. When your kidneys
get sluggish and clog you must relieve
them, like you relieve your bowels; re-
moving all the body's urinous waste,
else you have backache, sick headache,
dizzy spells; your stomach sours, tongue
is coated, and when the weather is bad
you have rheumatic twinges. The urine
is cloudy, full of sediment, channels often
get sore, water scalds and you are obliged
to seek relief two or three times during
the night.
Either consult good, reliable physi-
clan at once or get from your pharmacist
about four ounces of Jad Salts; take
q tablespoonful in glass of water
before breakfast for few days and your
kidneys will then act fine. This famous
salts is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with lithia
and has been used for generations to
clean and stimulate sluggish kidneys
also to neutralize acids in the urine 80 il
no longer irritates, thus ending bladde,
weakness.
Jad Salts is life saver for regular
meat eaters. 1t is inexpensive, cannot
iniure and makes delightful, effer
yescent lithia water drink.

SWEET GIRL GRADUATES

The time is almost at hand when
a large number of young women will
have finished their highschool educa-
ton and thus passed the point where
girlhOod merges into womanhOod. A
considerable number of these will be
confronted with the problem of how
they may make the most Of their
lives and opportunities and at the
same time prepare themselves to
make a living in the work-a-day
world.
Some will wish to ''get into the
films" the modern substitute for be-
ing stage struck. Perhaps the larg-
est number will prepare for teach
ing because this occupation still Of
fers the most obvious opportunities
for genteel professional womans SER
vice. Some will go in for literature
through newspaper work and schools
of journalism. Many will think sole
ly of matrimony. A few will take
up training to become professional
nurses.
Because the last mentioned call
ing has very great health signifi-
canoe, I'd like to say a few words to
young women and their parents con-
corning it. The fact that there are
at the present time splendid oppor-
tunities in the profession for an
honorable career, a good social posi-
ton and relatively high financial re-
wards should be known. HOW the
demand for competent nurses ex-
ceeds the supply is indicated by the
fact that recently in Milwaukee calls
came for more than twice as many
nurses as could be secured.
Physicians, hospitals, leaders in
the profession and the public gen.
orally, do not care to see the wrong
kind of women take up the work,
however. Neither do they wish to
See giggly, sentimental, scatter
Drained women present themselves
for training through counterfeit mo-
tives and misunderstanding of what
the profession holds forth either in
the way Of opportunities or of sac
rifices. PERSONAL, public, military,
Red Cross, and industrial interests
are all concered, however, in secur-
ing the entrance of more of the very
best of American womanhood in the
ranks of professional nursing.
To render a public and personal
service the Extension Division has
published a bulletin on Nursing as

A3DlCATE.
is TO LEAVE COUNTRY AT
ONCE WITH CROWN PRINCE
New Ruler, Kings Second Son, Free
From Anti-AIlies Proclivities ls
Expected to Put Into Effect
Ideas of Protecting Powers
During the War.

Athens, via Paris, June 13.-The
fall of Constantine |, king of the Hell
lenes, has come. In response to the
demand of the protecting powers.
France, Great Britain and Russia, he
has abdicated in favor of his second
son, Prince Alexander.
This climax in the affairs of Greece
was brought about through the agency
of the French Senator, M. Jonnart,
two ago on special mission as the
representative of France, Great Brit
ain and Russia The demands Of the
powers respecting the abdication OF
King Constantine also specifically
eliminated Crown Prince George as
included among those Greeks in Off
cial life who were considered strongly
pro-German.
To Leave Country.
Both the former king and Prince
George, it is announced by Premier
Zaimis, intend to leave the country
Immediately 1t is reported that they
will embark on British warship and
proceed to Switzerland by way Of
Italy. It is presumed that Prince
Alexander will take up his kingly du-
ties with full acceptation of the ideas
which the protecting powers desire to
be put into effect in the government
of Greece during the present war. He
is "a years of age and has been free
from anti-allies proclivities.
Allies Compelled to Act.
Affairs in Greece, which several
had seemed On the verge of a settle
ment, recently have taken on such an
aspect of uncertainty that it became
necessary for the powers to act with
decision. Nj. Jonnart proceeded to
Athens to lay before the premier the
aims which France, Great Britain and
Russia had with respect to establish
ing unity of feeling among the Greeks
and greater security for the Entente
forces engaged in operations in the
East While he informed the premier
that troops had been placed at his
disposal, he appealed to the official
to use his influence toward a peaceful
settlement The troops, according to
NJ Jonnart's instructions, were not
to land until the king had given his
answer. 1t was as follows:
The Kings Answer.
"The Minister and High Commits
sioner of France, Great Britain and
Russia:
Having demanded the abdication
of His Majesty King Constantine, and
the nomination of his successor, the
undersigned, Premier and Foreign
Minister, has the honor to inform your
excellency that his majesty the king
ever solicitous for the interests Of
Greece, has decided to leave the coun-
try with the prince royal, and NOM
mates Prince Alexander as his sue
cessor
(Signed) 'ZAIMIS."

WILL PLANT BUCkWHEAT;
HELP OUT WHEAT CROP

Why not plan to raise buckWheat
on that acre where the corn may fall
to grow, on the wet field you just
finished draining, ON that sandy
corner of the farm, or on that land
you just cleared.
BuckWheat is the Wisconsin farm
ers handy crop-it fills in after
other crops fail and can be planted
late in the season and still make a
paying crop.
Buckwheat is profitable, says a
circular, 'Why Not Buckwheat?' just
issued by the College of Agriculture
under the direction of the State
Council of Defense. 1t is easy to
grow and will give good returns on
soil SO low in fertility that other
crops will scracely grow 1t will
respond readily to rich soil too.
The demand for buckWheat will
be good for Wisconsin does not
grow enough to supply her own de-
mands and is forced to depend on
other states for her pancake supply
Silver Hull and Japanese are the
best varieties for Wisconsin. 1t can
be sown any time up to July l in
the southern part of the state,
though June 10 to 25 is best. Plant
at the rate of a bushel to the
acre unless Silver Hull is used
when pecks are sufficient. Sow
with an ordinary drill or seeder, an
inch deep on heavy soils, and from
one to two inches on light soils. At
ter sowing the crop needs no atten-
ton until after the harvest.
BuckWheat makes a good nurse
crop, and is ALSO great weed
killer.
Will you help wisconsin to raise
her own supply and more this year?

CHILD SOLDIERS

War offers another reason why
children should not be given coffee
and tea to drink. Coffee and tea
furnish an important ration for
fighting men. They cheer and slim
ulate and help to remove exhaustion.
Men in this condition, through SER
vice to their country, have earned
the right to such comfort and re-
newed energy as these agents offer.
Children are not benefited by
stimulants. They are harmed by
them. In war times with foods both
scarce and high, it does more than
harm the children to allow them to
consume stimulants of which they
have no need. 1t raises the price
and makes it more difficult to sup
ply the soldiers and others who are
straining every nerve and muscle in
the public service.
same may be said about excessive
use of sugar in food or in the form
of candy. The price Of sugar is 60
ing upward by leaps and bounds.
Sugar is food and stimulant 1t
is a great restorative of energy and
assists in removing fatigue.
The average child's energy doesn't
need stimulating. AS rule, he has
more than he can employ profltably.
The excess gets him into more trou-
BILE than it keeps him out of.
Parents who keep coffee, tea, and
excessive amounts of sugar and can
dy away from their children are
thereby rendering a more genuine
service to their country than they
will by merely singing a national
hymn or cheering a picture Of war
ship or a column of soldiers at the
movie theater.
This is another place in which
civil discipline of a military type
may be exhibited. If attendance at
the movies means keeping children
up who ought toNbe in bed, or means
exposing them to Wasteful contagious
diseases including common colds
reducing the number Of visits consti-
tutes a patriotic service. These may
seem like commonplace services
when one is moved to bleed and die
for his country, but wars are won
on staying power and resistance.
Resistance is built by the sum to
tai of little things fitted together
Just as strong breastworks are built
by trench fighters from grains OF
sand encased in cloth and paper
sacks, so is the physical strength
and stamina of the civil population
established by the sum total of the
good health habits practiced. Each
one by itself appears trivial. Eff
fectively banded together, they viii
constitute the strength of the ma
ton.

LIBERTY LOAN BONDS
PATRIOTIC AND SAFE


The patriotic nature of an invest
ment in the Liberty Loan Bonds OF
1917 is something that all Ameri-
cans will consider. The fact that
in purchasing such bond the in
weston is lending his money to his
Government-to his cOuntry-to
prosecute a great war, gives the in
vestment a dignity that the ordi-
nary investment does not possess.
The uses to which the mony is to
be put, the noble purposes to which
it is to be devoted, all are things
which appeal more or less to the
American heart.
But let no one be led by these
considerations to look ON buying a
Liberty Loan Bond as a piece OF
beneVolence or merely contrlbu-
ton to a worthy cause. The Lib
erty Loan Bond is as good an invest
ment as an American citizen can
we'll make. The rate of interest 1t
bears may seem small, but when its
absolute safety is considered and the
fact that it is nontaxable, and the
further fact that it is to be immune
from any taxes which later on may
be levied by reason of this war, and
still another fact that in case the
United States Government should Ia
ter during this war have to borrow
more money and pay a higher rate
of interest, that the holders of these
bonds can secure bonds bearing that
higher rate-when all these things
are considered, an Investment in
Liberty Loan Bonds possesses advan-
tages that no other Investment in
the world possesses.
There is another point which wise
and thoughtful people will give due
consideration to and that is an in
vestment in Liberty Loan Bonds is
an investment in the defense and
preservation of all their other prop
erty and all they hold dear-the
preservation of their liberties. We
would be in danger, if all our citi-
Zens refused to lend their money to
the Government, Of losing all that
we have-our property, our liberties,
and our NATIONAL honor. 1t has come
to this, that We must fight for these
things, and to wage war in this day
and timo ranI1iraS NOT only mon and
arms but great sums of money.
Subscribers to Liberty Loan Bonds
are charter members of a Society to
maintain American honor and to
maintain democracy here and in
other parts of the world. Honor and
interest, patriotism and business
judgment all argue the wisdom of an
investment in Liberty Loan Bonds.
