Secretary McAdoo will call for the

SAFETY FIRST
TO REEDSBURG

An effort is being made to complete
the paving of the road between Bara-
boo and Reedburg by the northern
route. This means by the way of the
w. S. Halsted farm, northwest to the
Gadys corner and on to Reedsburg. By
going this route it would not be neces-
sary to cross the tracks Of the Chica-
go & Northwestern railway west of
Ableman, and the distance is no great
er. The Safety First" route is COM
paratively free from hills, an element
worth considering in these days Of au-
tomobiles. About six miles remain to
be paved, two miles in the town of
Baraboo, two in Delton and two in tx
celsior. S. P. Searle and others along
this route are working for this Safe
ty First" highway.

LAYOUT FOR
PATRIOTIC MEET
Hon. WiIIett M. Spooner of Mil
waukee to Deliver the Grafton
on Thursday Evening

SO far as is now known, the layout
for the patriotic rally, next Thursday
evening, will be as follows:
Chairman, Mayor George T. Thuerer.
Orator, Hon. Willett M. Spooner,
Milwaukee.
Director of vocal music, James L.
Bonham.

=. Morey.
Frank R. Bentley will introduce the
speaker.
Stage seats will be reserved for city
and county officials, officers Of Bara-
boo Commercial association, delegates
from other Sank county cities and

pany A., Wisconsin Marine band, min
1sters Of the gospel. Box seats will
be reserved for Sank county members
of Red Cross societies. The seats on
the main floor will be open to the pub

of the executive committee Of Wiscon-
sin Defense league, and is giving much
Tabor to the cause of his country, and

to give their all-sons, fortunes,
strength, homes, efforts Of every kind
to the country in war time. In their
zeal and haste there is danger that the
safeguards of the life, health and

the whole industrial history of the
country we have never faced so criti-
cal a moment. The United States is
beginning preparedness on a colossal
scale. and the wage-earners are called
on to exert their fullest working ca
pacity. They will respond to the call.
1t is of supreme Importance for the
efficiency of the nation as whole that
the energies of the army should be
Kept at their highest pitch.
