WHAT WISCONSIN HAS DONE

| Madison, WiS.-In response to a
question as to what Wisconsin has
done during the war, the following list
has been prepared from the records to
show some of the accomplishments
through the State Council of Defense:
Conducted a campaign against the
practice of food boarding.
Distributed thousands of POUNDS of
rough fish at a state price of 5 cents
per pound in the larger cities and in
dustrial centers, where meat has been
a luxury.
Organized the bakers of the state
until they have individually pledged
themselves not to accept unsold bread
from retail customers.
Completed a survey of the state of
mills equipped to grind flour, which
gives the condition of these mills and
their capacity.
Compiled a list of unused land, by
counties, available for cultivation,
which has been referred to the county
councils for attention in 1918
Aided in tho establishment of city
markets in cities of over 5000 at which
thousands of carloads of produce have
been sold to the mutual benefit of pro-
duCer and consumer.
Created and is conducting a depart
ment headed by a market commission
er which will aid in the marketing of
surplus food products which in other
years have gone to waste
Inaugurated a statewide soldier pal
movement SO that every enlisted and
selected man from Wisconsin has a
pal at home who will Look after his
interests while he is at war.
Appointed county labor agents in
fifty-eight counties out of seventy-one,
covering the entire agricultural sec
ton, who work with labor committees
of the county councils.
Completed a registration of all boys
and young men from Is to 21, who
have been enlisted in the boys work
ing reserve.
Called a conference of the sheriffs
and police officers OF the state and
through their cooperation enforced
vagrancy law until there is not
known idler in the state
Organized automobile squads in cit
les and larger towns, composed of
business and profes sionaI men, who
have gone into the country to assist
farmers where labor was wanted for
harvest
Through the cooperation of the
Northern Wisconsin advertiser. [volume] (Wabeno, Wis.) 1898-1925, 1917-12-07

| Highway Commission, suspended road
work wherever possible and sent the
road gangs into the grain fields.
Conducted coInpr rehensive state
vile investigation OF the fuel situa-
tien, the information secured having
been forwarded to Washington.
Induced the Wisconsin railroads to
sell or give away discarded railway
ties for firewood
Sent an appeal over the state for
farmers and people in small cities
to nurn wood instead of coal, a prac-
tic which has resulted in some relief
in the coal situation.
Organized state Health Aid Course
through a special appropriation of
$4,000 by the legislature The object
is 20 train young women to take the
place of registered nurses in caring
for the civilian sick during the war.
More than 100 Of these young women
are in training.
Has conducted, with the co-opera-
zion of the State Industrial Commits
sion and the insurance men of the
state, statewide inspection and CEN
sus of storage plants, warehouses and
factories, with view of preventing
fire losses and conserving food.
One of these activities deserves
more than passing mention. Because
of the increased production it was
early decided by the State Council of
Defense that market must be pro-
vided for the men who had expended
money and time in planting additional
crops. The department OF the market
commissioner was created, and the
commissioner is in touch hourly with
the markets of the state He acts as
a go-between for the producer and the
consumer. For one he provides a
ready market; for the other he re-
duces the cost OF living. Unnecessary
middleman profits are eliminated, the
producer Is receiving a satisfactory
price, and the consumer is buying for
less than at any time since war prices
prevailed.
The work Of the State Council of
Defense has been made possible by
the co-opera ton Of the people of the
state. The foundation was laid by the
Legislature and the results obtained
can be credited largely 20 the MEM
befs of the County Councils of De-
fense and other loyal citizens of every
community, who have supported the
efforts of these auxiliaries of the State

Cheerful surroundings arc important
for the tuberculosis patient may be

rule institutional care for a period
70 Of untold value because it teaches
the patient the necessity Of taking care
Of himself. Advertised remedies
about which one knows nothing
should be let alone. The danger is
that valuable time may be lost by
such reliance. Too great emphasis
cannot be placed on the importance
Of taking advantage of the early
months Of the attack, It is case Of
a little fire or big one.
II there is the slightest suspicion
that tubercular condition exists,
exect knowledge should be sought,
for meteorological tests, physical ex-
animation, and the X-ray will estab-
lish facts, and we cannot proceed in
telligently on guess work.
The secret of the cure Of tuber-
culosis is three fold-early detection
Of the disease, compliance with the
right treatment. and keeping the
treatment up until the ground Of per-
feet safety is reached. A surprising
number of permanent cures are made
by these means.

LES DARCY PINED FOR
Home BEFORE He died
Australian Middle-weight Wanted
to Return to Native Land.

Before he died Les Darcy, the Aus
tralian pugilist. realized with all his
heart every mistake he had made and
longed for one more chance TO do the
proper thing in Australia.
The Sydney Argus, representing one
Of the best sports calculations in the
island continent, declared recently that
Snowy Baker, the Australian promo
ter, had received a letter from Darcy
asking that steps be taken to make
it comfortable for him IL he should
return. Darcy wanted TO go back and
enlist in the Australian army.
This was after things had been 60
ing so badly for Darcy in this coun-
try. His refusal to meet the best
middle-weights of this nation, his con-
tinual demands for huge purses hav-
ing held him down at a time when
he might have been blazing a path to
new glory, had stopped him short.
Feeling grieved over the unexpected
turn in the reception given him, Darcy
determined to go home.
Cast out OF the minds Of 6ght-Iov-
ers in the United States, he then
discovered that Australia had no place
for the man who fed just two days
before vote was taken on conscrip-
ton OF all its men. News Of his turn
ing against Tim Sullivan also reached
Australia, and, although Sullivan was
in the same boat with Darcy, It help
ed him lose some of the friends who
had stuck persistenuy by him.
Bakers failure to answer at once,
or the usual delay in post service be-
tween Australia and this country,
probably disheartened Darcy, for he
shortly afterward enlisted in the
United States Aviation Corps. another
blow to his supporters in Australia
Commenting on Darcy's death, the
Argus failed to lose any of its origi-
nal bitterness against the man who
had been upheld as the most glorious
figure in Australia's sporting life. not
even excepting the famous Anthony
F. Wilding. Regret was expressed
that Darcy had been unable to show
to the United States his prowess. That
was the only regret expressed by this
paper, save the publishing of a brief
interview with Snowy Baker.

CHICAGO is READY
FOR EASTERN TRIP
White Sox Will Start Eastern Inva-
sion Against Yankees Wednesday.

New York. July 23-with a lead of
three and one-half games over the
Red Sox, the Chicago White Sox are
today preparing for their second in
vasion of the East, beginning We'd
nesday against the Yankees.
So far this season Chicago has prov
en- itself a good road club, and, in
the opinion of baseball sharps, the
fortunes of the White Sox on the road
during the remainder OF the season
will be the outstanding factor in de-
Gliding the American League race.
Chicago must invade the East twice
more before the season closes, and
the two long trips, the last Of which
will see Rowland's men winding up
the schedule in Eastern territory, are
the biggest stumbling blocks in their
path. The fact that the Sox have
proven their gameness by outplaying
Boston is a big point in their favor.
The league-leading Giants must also
hit the road this week. but, with
lead Of nine and one-haf games
today, they look capable of holding
their own. The second-place Phillies
have more cause to worry over the
onrushing Reds than the pace being
set by the Giants. With the Reds play
ing on their home grounds for the
next two weeks, they may be expect
ed to make a strong bid for second
place,
