Harvesting About Over

News from the central counties OF
the state Waupaca, Portage, Waushara
and Adams is to the effect that the
crop has nearly all been dug and much
of it already marketed. There, the
boys and girls and women of the cities
and towns have gone into the fields
and the help has been in most sections
sufficient to get the crop out of the
ground at least two weeks earlier than
last year. In most sections too the
schools have been let out. At Boomer,
in Chippewa county where over 500
cars have been shipped already, the
work in the fields has been dragging
a little though the school children have
had a vacation for two weeks.
Potato Growers Association
Fifty-one of the largest dealers of
the state met at Waupaca at the re
quest of Food Controller Hoover and
organized the Potato Growers Assoc
citation, to cooperate with the govern
ment to stabalize the price and distri-
button of potatoes.
The following officers were elected :

JOE FORCHETTE HOME;
REJECTED IN CAMP

After three weeks in the National
Army at Camp Grant, Rockford, ILL.,,
and in the meantime becoming COR
poral of Co. f, 341st regiment, JOS
seph Forchette, Rusk county's first
drafted man, has returned home as
physically unfit owing to hernia.
This action was forecasted in the
News-Budget of Oct. when it was
told that the examining physician had
sent request for the papers in the
case to Frank Mtsnroe secretary of the
exemption board.
These papers were forwarded and
as they were not heard from it was
thought that Forchette might possibly
have passed. The first notice of his
failure was his arrival in Ladysmith
Saturday.
