THAT WATERFOWL GOOSE.
Mascot of Co. e May Be Taken To
France,

| The Bugle, a soldier paper publish
ed at Waco, Texas, has the following
concerning the goose mascot sent Co.
e by the Watertown Poultry associa-
ton while the boys were at Camp
Douglas:
Is a gose an ANIMAL?
If not, then BILL the blue-blooded
goose from Watertown, Wis, attached
to the Fifth infantry, e company, will
go to France with his command. Bill
was given to the company by the di-
rectors of the Watertown Goose show
and made the trip to Waco in fine
shape. WATERFOWL, by the way, is as
famous for it's geese as Milwaukee is
for it's amber fluid.
"Bill' in the picture is trying to
pick the button off First Sergeant A.
G. Krueger's coat. He is a strange
sort Of a mascot His favorite cere-
mony Is guard mount Every night he
waddles across the street to the par
ade ground, watches the formation
then goes back to the company street
honking his way like a two-bit jitney
Bulletin No. SO of the Thirty-second
division recited that positively no ami
mails would be taken to France with
the troops when they went over That's
why the members of e company want
to know il goose Is an animal.

GOVERNOR DESIGNATES
OCT. "a AS LIBERTY DAY

Gov. Philip has issued proclama-
ton designating October "a as Liberty
day and urges all loyal citizens to buy
liberty war bonds. The proclamation
is as follows:
The success Of the liberty loan Is
so vital to the nation that every effort
must be made to call the attention of
our citizens to the fact that liberty
bonds are now on sale and that the
people of the state of Wisconsin must
as patriotic duty purchase their
share of this government obligation
I'VE are engaged in war Our gov
eminent needs the money to equip our
army and navy. Without proper tinan-
clal support our army can not defeat
the enemy on land, nor even the navy
protect us on the sea.
Our government is Offering the
people good security-in fact, there
is none better. The bond pays 4 per
cent interest and should appeal to ev-
cry citizen from purely an investment
standpoint. If there be any person
who doubts it's worth l wish to remind
them that our country has never
failed to pay its obligations on maturi-
ty, and if the time ever comes when
the value of United States bond be-
comes impaired, then all other prop
erty will be of doubtful value.
The president of the United States
has by proclamation appointed We'd
nesday, the twenty-fourth day of Oc-
tober, as Liberty day and urges and
advises the people to assemble in
their respective communities and
pledge to one another and to the gov
eminent that represents them the full
est measure of financial support, and
directs further that on the afternoon
OF that day that patriotic meetings be
held in every city, town and village
throughout the land.
Therefore, 1, Emanuel L. Philip.
governor of the state of Wisconsin, do
hereby declare Wednesday, October
"a, 1917, Liberty day and l urge the
people to comply with the wishes of
the president in order that we may do
our part in giving the necessary finan-
cial aid to our country The money
which the government asks for Is for
the purpose of carrying on our war,
for the protection of our country, our
homes and our people and I shall look
forward to generous response to
this appeal"

bits will begin on November l in

county where closed season pre-
walls. Neither can he shoot the limit

to another county where the bag limit
is lower.

tai of 116 students registered in one

demic work has % students, while

bers of the visiting school Saturday

bership, the debates yet to come will
be Of interest.
The football team has been handi-
capped by the inclement weather this

sic and they expect to repeat the
trick Saturday.

COLD WEATHER MAY START
POULTRY MOVING SOON

The present spell of cold weather
may start the poultry going soon and
it is believed that the prices on dressed
poultry will range higher than last
year, some dealers being of the opin-
ion that the market will open around
20 cents on geese and ducks. There is
scarcity of corn in this section, al
though the crop in total is larger
than ever known before in the United
States. This may have tendency to
knock the price down after the first
furry.
, Stuffed geese prices will also range
higher this year. The statement is
made that the price will be six cents
over the average weight price. For
instance, geese that will average "a
pounds this year will bring 80 cents a
pound when marketed.

At the Theatres

A big bill is on at the Classic for
next Sunday and Monday when Hall
Gaines great story. "The Deemster,"
will be shown. Although violating our
American habit of providing a happy
ending, THE Deemster" in it's pic
tured form Is said to take and hold the
interest Of the spectator in the for
tunes and misfortunes of the lively
son Of the bishop of Man. 1t is nee
essary, however, to take into consid-
GRAFTON, in viewing the picture, as in
reading the book, the differences in
ideas Of justice in the early eight
eenth century and the present day.
One finds it somewhat difficult to be-
lieve the possibility of such a sentence
as is imposed upon Dan for Staying,
which, at it's worst, was in self
defense. Almost everyone is familiar
with the story of 1.-The Deemster," and
to admirers of Hall Game the pic
ture will be grateful departure from
most screen INSTALLATION Of novels,
for it follows closely the main points
OF the story. To those who are not IA
miliar with Gaines written works, the
picture is said to offer charming in
PRODUCTION to that author.
What might be termed an call star
cast is to support Jack Pickford and
Louise Huff in What Money Can't
Buy" which will be seen at the Ma
jestic on Sunday and Monday. The
supporting cast includes Theodore
Roberts, the famous Lasky star; Ho-
bart BOsworth, noted star of his own
productions; Raymond Hatton, who
scored such a pronounced success in
Joan the Woman;" James Neill, the
popular star and leading man; James
Cruze, famous photodramatic star, and
Miss Chevalier.
The Importance of being true to
ones self is the great lesson taught in
'The Soul of Magdalen," the Metro
Popular Plays and Players production
starring Nine. Petrova, which will be
seen at the Majestic Saturday. Be-
cause she was not true to her own
highest nature Heloise Broulette
brought suffering and infinite pain to
those she loved and was baffled in her
efforts to aid them.
Forbidden Paths" typicallly fine
Paramount picture, co-starring Sessue
Hayakawa and Vivian Martin will be
shown at the Majestic tonight. This is
a particularly appealing story of the
devotion of a Japanese to a young
American girl, and typifes the indy
ing devotion and self-sacrifice of the
race.

Social DOingS

The Beavers held an old time party
in the Eagles hall Thursday evening
and many quaint and long forgotten
styles in wearing apparel were in or
der. The merry widow bonnet seemed
to be the favorite, although there we're
many home creations that would have
| furnished ideas for the milIiner, so
unique were the trimmings. Black,
blue, green and red predominated on
I one color did not seem to be in favor.
One hat in particular seemed to at
tract the attention of all present. It
was a yellow affair about two feet
tall with broad green ribbon and
| trimmed with a black ostrich plume
Taken altogether it was the niftiest
| outfit in the place. Some wore shape
fitting fur coats Of the time "befoh de
wah," others shawls and capes. The
! family heirlooms taken out of their
moth-proof boxes were proudly worn,
and were a sight we'll worth while.
| The skirts were of different color COM
binations, not any two OF one color.
The main idea that seemed to hold
was to have the greatest array of col
ors from head to foot. Those present
succeeded beyond expectations for the
| whole hall was rival Of color. Last
but not least, one lady wore hoop
| skirt, and when the dance commenced
| she was left out of it. But then, a
pleasant time was enjoyed, for she
| danced alone.
OF course, the men came last. The
clay pipe, long forgotten, was seen
protruding from various angles of the
mouth. The array of head gear was
alarming. Everything from the Daniel
Webtser silk, Pats plug, and Oh Deah
Arthuar, was proudly displayed. There
is but one thing more in the way of
gentIeman's dress to be told of-vests,
white, plaid, buckskin, deerhide, and
even cowhide, covered The manly bos-
oms of the gentlemen A good time
was enjoyed by all. Luncheon was
served
