THE BOND BEHIND THE MAN,

It is not question of profit, Of con-
venience or of desire-this subscrib-
ing to the new liberty loan 1t is
simply matter of whether we, as
Americans, are going to do our duty.
l take it for granted that almost
every American citizen would be will
ing to go into the field in this war.
Only very small percentage in all
the population of this country can be
used in actual warfare. We men who
are at home can help the men at the
font; that's our duty as citizens.
One of the ways we can aid is in
this new liberty loan and that help
is nothing more or less than a duty of
citizenship.
This is going to be loan for the
man of small means and the man of
great means. 1t will be placed so
that almost every able-bodied citizen
of our country will be in position to
subscribe.
This great, rich America should not
be placed before the world as pleading
with it's citizens to subscribe to this
loan. Our government should only
have to send out the call to the men
and the women of America, the citi-
zens of America, to meet this, their
duty, and meet it generously, prompt
ly and gladly.-By Robert j. Throne.

THE DEATH ROLL

Mr.. Charles Lange died on Sunday
at 1890 a. NJ at the home of
his daughter, Mrs Otto Wegemann,
8O4 Western avenue. He was born in
Germany October 81, 1876 and came to
this country and directly to Water
town with his parents the same year.
He was married November 8, 1872 to
Miss Mathilda Hafer1eister and is sur
vived by his widow, four daughters
and two sons. The children are: Mrs.
Otto Wegemann, Isabelle, Elgardie
and oneida LANCE, Edwin LANCE, Wi
mona, Mich and Charles LANCE, this
city. Three brothers and two sisters
also survive: John LANCE, Fond du
Lac, William LANCE, Hustisford, Frank
LANCE, Lebanon, Mrs. Herman Schlie-
we, this city, Mrs. August Ebert, Hus-
tisford. Funeral services will be held
Thursday at 2 o'clock at the home
of his daughter and at 2:30 o'clock in
st. Marks Lutheran church. Inter-
ment will be made in the Emmanuel
cemtery
Mr. LANCE was for many years en-
gagged in the saloon business in North

BrOOms Going Up.

Brooms at one dollar each is the
prediction of a local grocer. 1t seems
that Mars has touched everything with
the dollar sign. Everything in the line
of household necessities have been
jumping and now that lowliest of
household necessities is scheduled for
another jump.
The price of brooms in 1916 was
from 35 to SO cents depending on the
grade of broom corn used. This year
the cheapest broom that can be pur-
chased retails for IS cents and the
best grade sells at rs cents. The last
years advance was due to the fact that
in the last two years no imports of
broom corn have been received from
Hungary and on this stock and ship
ments from the Balkan country, the
American broommakers have had in
a measure to depend.
Reports from the broom states of
Illinois, Oklahoma, Kansas and Colo
RADIO, where most of the broom corn
crops of the country are grown, do not
show an exceptional yield this season
and there are fears that the crop will
not be normal
The best grades of brooms now sell
at $500 and $500 a dozen. If the
crops in the broom states are short
the price of $1.00 will not hold, 1t is
likely to be much higher.

SYSTEM OF EDUCATION
ON PRESENT WAR SUBJECTS

Recognizing that if war is to be
fought effectively by democracy ev-
cry citizen must be able to think in
|telligently concerning it, the Wiscon-
sin Loyalty Legion has planned a
comprehensive system Of educational
work on war subjects.
The material for a series of pro-
grams has been gathered from a great
number of organizations and individ-
uals. The Legion hopes to focus the
widely scattered information on the
war upon each single point as treated.
To this end the cooperation Of many
war educational societies was Sc
cured. The committee on public in
formation has promised it's fullest CO.
operation and is constantly aiding at
every point. The National Security
League, Red Cross, Y. M. G.. A., and
many other patriotic and defense So
cieties have furnished literature and
other assistance in their special lines.
The library of the University of
Wisconsin, the Milwaukee public Ii
brary, the United States Bureau of
Education, the American Historical
association and various other individ-
uals and organizations gave assist
ance in planning the work and select
ing the material to be used. The mu-
steal department Of the University of
Wisconsin has pledged it's aid in devel-
oping community singing in connec-
ton with the work.
The plan proposes systematic pre-
paration of regular programs so ar
ranged as to cover the whole field OF
war activity. The subjects Of the
main talks at the first five meetings
give an idea of the general plan. These
are: why We Are At War;" "Mobili-
cation of Nation" Feeding a World
at War;" Financing a War" Caring
for the Injured"
The books required for each meeting
are being assembled so that they can
be furnished to each chapter. In this
work the state Circulating Library
Commission and various local librar-
les have pledged assistance. The COM
mittee on public information has also
helped in collecting these books and
have promised to supply all works
published by the government in such
quantities as may be needed.
With the information furnished any
community can easily present the
program in satisfactory manner.
With this series Of programs, contain
ing lectures, general discussions, re-
citations and other entertaining fea-
lures it is believed that the chapters
of the Loyalty Legion can become the
centers Of war education and as such,
of great help in that mobilization of
intelligent public opinion that must
be the foundation of energetic demo-
cratic prosecution of the war.

All mail order advertising has been
barred from the Delineator. Every
line of advertising in it sends Gus
toners to retail stores. The total year
Iy business of mail order houses Is
estimated at 100000, 000 AS high as
20 per cent of rural retail buying is
said to be done through mail order
houses.
One of the fast-growing mail order
houses claims 100000 recorder GUS
toners. More than $1,500,000 has been
taken in on a single day by this con-
Germ. With the help of magazine adj
vertising it distributes over 1000, 900
catalogues year. The sales of this
house alone in 1916 were S146,S38, 900,
showing a gain of 1898 per cent The
growth of mail order houses has been
tremendous.
The Delineator recognizes the dan
ger in centralizing purchases in one
or two big cities to the detriment of
our smaller cities and towns The
Delineator has therefore thrown out
all the advertising that takes money
away from home, and has come out
squarely for the retail MERCHANT in
the fight against mail order compe-
tition

Amidst all the other feelings
aroused by Senator La Follette's atti-
tude toward the war there is deep
sorrow in the hearts of many Wiscon-
sin men and women. They have had
faith in La Toilette in the past. They
have believed that he stood for the
square thing and the right thing. They
believe that he has done good work
for his country and deserved well of
his country. They have no sympathy
at all in his present attitude toward
war They think it is all wrong, unpa-
triotic, dangerous. They see a fine,
high reputation irreparably sullied, a
good name blackened. They can only
condemn, but they are desperately
sorry.-Waukesha Freeman.

The coal situation in Watertown
price at the mine and the transporta-
ton charges have been fixed, the
amount of production has not, and
we believe herein lies the trouble.
The miner should share in the profits
with the owner, but it should be COM
pulsory on both that there be no
under-production. With plenty of coal
mined there would be no shortage like
the present.
