MACHINISTS ARE WANTED
IN The U. S. NAVY

Enlist now if you want to get into
the navy. This warning to young men
is given by Lieut. Comdr John w.
Schoenfeld, in charge of navy re-
cruiting in the state, when he received
news from Washington that the navy
is rapidly approaching it's war strength
of 100000 men Within a short time no
more enlistments may be taken. How
ever, men with trades, particularly
machinists who are familiar with gas
oline and marine engines, are wanted.
Cooks and bakers for the commissary
department of the big interned German
liners that will soon be converted in
to army transports are wanted Wis
conSin'S quota of four navy aviators
remains untitled. Here is a splendid
chance for the young man who wants
to fight in the air. Men who qualify
for this service will be sent to Pensa-
colo, Fla, for training. On the compile
ton of the course, the flyers will be
assigned to active duty
Men called under the draft law can
not enlist in the navy to escape army
service. This order was received from
Washington. A previous ruling per-
mitted drafted men to enlist in the
navy up to the time they were actual
ly called for physical examination by
the draft boards.
'"The navy is not refuge from the
draft law" said Lieut.. Schoenfeld. eff
a man has delayed enlisting until he is
drafted he will have to go into the
army. He cannot then get into the
navy"
With the rapid extension of the
navy, chances for advancement are
better now than ever before The man
who joins the navy today may be sure
that if he does his duty and shows
himself ready to take responsibility
he will be promoted The pay scale of
the navy is greater than in any other
branch of the military service. Join
the navy before it is too late.

200 TONS OF HAY
GOES UP IN SMOKE

A large barn on the farm of NJ E.
McHugh, west of Watertown, was to-
tally destroyed by fire Sunday night
together with a large amount of hay
and farm machinery. The blaze could
be seen distinctly from this city and
the fire department turned out, but the
distance was too great to be of any
use. A machinery shed was also de-
stroyed. 1t is said there was an insur-
ance of $1,000 on the barn, but the loss
will run into the thousands as there
was 200 tons Of hay in the barn. 1t is
thought that spontaneous combustion
resulted from overheated hay.

PRESENTED ARGUMENTS FOR
NORTHERN ROUTE HIGHWAY

Arguments for the building of the
federal aid highway on the northern
route, taking in Oconomowoc, Water
town, Waterloo and Sun Prairie, be-
tween Milwaukee and Madison were
presented to the legislative commit
tee appointed to hear the same in the
court house at Jefferson on Friday af-
ternoon. The court house was not
equal to the occasion and one-half of
the people could not gain entrance
There were delegations from all
along the northern route, about three
hundred going from Watertown alone.
The claims of the people on this
route were presented ably by speak
ers from the various towns. Those
from Watertown included Ex-Mayor
II. Wertheimer, Ex-senator William
F. VOss, Attorneys Nicholas Thauer
and Edward F. Wieman It was point
ed out that the line would traverse
the richest section of the state in
which it was proposed to build. 1t
paid the most taxes, was the most
ropulous, and had a portion of the way
already permanently improved through
cities like WatertOwn, Oconomowoc
and Waterloo, where there are several
miles of excellent roadway which need
not be touched
Attorney Ray Twining of Waterloo
presented the claims of the northern
route and made telling speech in it's
favor.
More than five hundred people from
the northern route were present at the
hearing.

DOUBLE The
CAPACITY OF
LOCAL HOME
Lutheran Home Fer Feeble Minded
Too Small and Another Building
Will Be Erected in the
Near Future.

The present capacity of Bethesda,
the Lutheran Home for Predetermined,
has been reached and it becomes nee
essary to double the capacity and with
that end in view plans are now being
drawn for the erection Of a building
with a capacity for 100 inmates. The
present structure now houses lao and
there are several applications on file
which will completely fill the present
home.
The new building will be erected just
south of the present one and the barn
on the location will be moved to the
southern part of grounds far away
from the home With the completion
of the new building the home will be
capable Of housing 800 inmates.
Want Arc Lights.
Something that is badly needed near
the home is better lighting along the
road leading from the main highway
to the park. On dark nights when
medical attendance is needed or for
any other cause it becomes necessary
to traverse this portion of the road
one is at loss to find the way in
safety. When it is known that the sum
|of $4,000 was expended in Watertown
last year from outside sources, it would
seem that aside from philanthropic
reasons the city could with good grace
install two arc lights between the main
highway and the park at the north
end of the grounds
Does Much Good.
Watertown people hardly realize the
great good that this institution is &C
comprising in caring for those who
cannot care for themselves. A visit
to the home is revelation The
ground contains one of the finest parks
in the country while the land to the
east of the home and running to the
river is a garden in which are grown
every variety of vegetable known in
this section, in fact they grow more
than the home uses, the balance being
| disposed Of to purchasers. They keep
twenty mich COWS which supplies the
table with cream and butter, and this
last season sold an abundance of
strawberries, besides those used in the
home. Handsome flower gardens adorn
the landscape the especial care of
some Of the inmates.
| Taken altogether it has been made
an ideal spot converting hazel brush
underground into a finely kept garden
and replete with beauty spots.
The superintendent is the Rev. ]. C.
Jaus, and the assistant superintendent
is the Rev. E. Stroeln, both of whom
look after the care and comfort and
education of the inmates.

Down at Jefferson they are placing
asphalt on the brick pavement and the
claim is made that it puts the street in
much better condition as to smooth
ness and noise before it's application.
The work is being done under contract
at the rate of IL cents a square yard.
After the asphalt has been applied it
is covered with sand and then rolled,
smooth surface resulting. Jefferson
tried it on another street several years
ago and was we'll satisfied with the
result
There is no doubt but what the
treatment of Main street in like man
ner would result in a great improve
ment. 1t might be well worth a trial
for block or two and watch results

Portage is to have pavement dance
for the benefit of the Red Cross next
Monday. Why not Watertown?

An Indiana woman was peeling po-
tatoes one day last winter when she
cut into one that was hollow, and in
side was found this note from the
Southern farmer who had raised it: 81
got sixty-nine cents a bushel for these
potatoes How much did you pay for
them?" The woman wrote back: 81
paid four dollars bushel." She re-
ceived this reply from the farmer: 81
got sixty-nine cents for those potaties
1t could not have cost more than
thirty-one cents to carry them to you
Who got the other three dollars? I am
going to try to find OUT,
1t is to end outrages of this descrip-
ton that Herbert Hoover has been in
