A Proclamation.

Pursuant to the authority vested in
him by the President of the United
States, Herbert Hoover, National
Food Administrator, has urged as
patriotic duty one MEATLESS DAY
and one WHEATLESS DAY in each
week as a means of conserving the
food supply.
Owing to the very great shortage Of
wheat and meat, and the urgent ne
cessity of conserving the present food
supply and of creating reserve sup
ply for future needs the people of this
Nation have been asked to make per-
sOnal sacrifices. 1t is through their CO.
operation alone that the food admin
istration can be successfully carried
out.
Therefore, acting under the direct
ion of Food Administrator Herbert
Hoover, |, Magnus Swenson, Food Adj
ministrator of Wisconsin, hereby call
upon and urgently request the citi-
zens of this state to set aside Tuesday
September Is, 1917,s and all Tuesdays
there after during the war as a meat
less day: ask that all hotels, rest
aurants and other eating places. serve
meatless meals upon that day and
that this practice be followed in the
homes Of all patriotic citizens.
In order, further, that Wisconsin
may do it's share in the conservation
of food | ask that Wednesday, Sept
ember 10, 1917 and all Wednesdays
thereafter during the period of the
war be set aside as Wheatless day.
ask the people Of Wisconsin to alb
stain from the use of bread and past
ries made from wheat upon that day
to. the end that the wheat supply of
the United States may be increased
for the time when gaeater calls will
be made upon it.
1t was for this purpose that the
beople of Wisconsin were asked to
sign the food pledge cards, but we
have concluded to put the above plan
into effect without waiting for COM
plete return Of the food pledge cards.
This proclamation made this four
teenth day of September, nine hun
dred and seventeen.

The County Fair.

VilaslCounty's Second Annual Fair
was held yesterday. It proved to be
a marked success over the first as it
was expected too, though not many
were looking for such a volume of in
crease in exhibits as materialized.
About 10 head of cattle were en-
tered, an increase of nearly a third
over last year, but judging from a
passing glance the quality did not
thereby.
The greatest surprise however,
came at the Masonic hall where all
other exhibits were shown; There
were close to one hundred exhibits of
potatoes all good enough to go to
any fair, and it was no easy job that
faced Prof Milward when he began
his task of awarding the first, second
and third prizes.
A display of sheaf and threshed
grains and samples of clovers, .ect.,
was much more striking than last
year.
In the vegetable department. quail
ty and quantity ranked higher than
the season had led us to expect.
A nice display of choice winter APP
pies proved that the town of Como
yer doesn't need to pay nickel
apiece for apples that it can and does
raise just as we'll Close by were
some thoroughly ripened tomatoes,
vegetable that we'd understood
had not ripened anywhere north of
Mason & Dixon's Line this year
There is no longer any doubt about
the growth and success of the Villas
County Fair. The most important
thing now is proper grounds to hold
it on.

More Soldiers Leave.

1W0nUuIOuT men represented " Ids
county's quota called to the Nation
al Army, this week, entrained here
Wednesday night for Camp Grant,
Rockford, Ill. Their departure was
preceded by hearty demonstration
from large crowd assembled from
all parts of the county. as some were
called from nearly every town. a
/ patriotic meeting at the court house
was enliyened by speeches OF. encour-
agement and farewell, and band Sc
lections, afterWard going to the depot
where the last fareWells were said to
the, accompaniment of martial music.
While the crowd was much larger
than often seen at night, yet, the
significance of the occasion was evil
denced by the seriousness predomin-
ating. just as the North did in the
sixties. sand as the people of Europe
have found in the last three years, it
was suddenly found no light matter
! to say gOodby to the relative or friend
that you may never see again. 1t
will be miracle indeed, if all OF
those who left Eagle River Wednes-
| day loose their lives on the battle field,
but it will be a miracle still more
strange if all return, and all find
home ties just as they left them.
| The question of who was right or
wrong in the beginning of the Eu-
rCpean war, and the question of the
necessity of the United States get
ting involved, will be mooted ones
among good authorities for years to
come. Neither question concerns
true Americans now We are only
concerned as a matter of self pre-
servation, in defeating Germany
thoroughly and completely for all
time to come, according to the con-
ception we have OF a victorious or
half victorious Germany in dealing
with it's sworn enemies. At the
same time any American who sees
his neighborS leave for this war with
out a feeling of regret that condi-
tions demand it, must be imbued
with some OF the KaiSer's lust for
human blood.

down to a system Of coming alter
nate mornings. Darrell ascertained
that the days he missed were those
when Dunbar stayed at home to re-
cover from the carOUse of the even
ing previous. Y
Always the pennies were the con-
tTibutiOn of their visitor, and Uncle
Ezekiel used to get a card and pencil
and figure out what two cents would
amount to in twenty-one years. Then
he would slap his thigh and chuckle
and add:
ooh, there'u be quite enough to
educate Rossmore, if I live long
enough-and Dunbar let's me keep
it up, he would add with a grim look
of mystery, and, at times, malice on
his face.
Thus nearly two years passed
away and one morning news came to
the Mason home that Uncle Ezekiel
was dead. After the funeral a will
was read that left the home to Dun
bar.
"And nothing left for you, dearp
sighed Nellie.
81 hear the farm was all there was
left, advised Darrell. well Uncle
Ezekiel had two years of pleasure in
the company Of ROssnOre, and I
think he really loved the dear little
fellow"
In about a month Luke Dunbar
had left the village, a disguised, dis
appointed man. The farm was a poor
one. He might have secured a iv-
ing from, it and with care and work
could have made it valuable, but he
was a sluggard. He left town rail-
ing at that old skinfint for spending
all his ready cash and leaving him a
barren old waste!"

had become of quite sum Uncle Ze-
kiel had once kept at the bank. The

Nellie, as a banging, hammeTing
sound echoed from the living room.
THE irreverant little rOgueH cried
Darrell, as they came upon the
young hopeful, little RossmOre, on
the floor. the old bank before him, a
hammer in his hand.
Old Uncle ZekiePs handwork was
a mass of spinters. Scattered on
the carpet were pennies by the tens
and hundreds, but also numerous
bits of cIosely-foIded paper. Darrell
picked up one. He UnfOlded it.

she unfolded another bank note.
How much?" she questioned, as
Darrell had smoothed out nearly a
hundred of those clOsely-folded bits

"Over $4,000 - not counting the
pennies" announced Darrell.
