THE BURDEN OF MARDI GRAS'
QUEENSHIP
The committee in charge of the an
nusl Mardi Gras ball is already at
work subconsciously on the next
event The women carry the burden
through the year, for it is not the sort
Of thing which can be tossed off with
out any preliminary thought. While
the ball was in full swing, group of
them, willy-nilly, found themselves
discussing responsibilities for the
queen of next years pageant. e..
II is not an easy matter to prevail
upon a desirable person to take up
the scepter for the night. OF course,
the less desirable the person. the
more eager she always is for such
honor. But somehow the ones who
square up to the exactions in pulehri-
tude and position always have to be
coaxed along. Fortunately. the smart
set carries excess baggage in the mat
ter Of beauty, so there is a wide range
and variety of choice still to be had
in spite of the number who have al
ready been called to the throne. But
it is a very expensive business, this
Queenship affair, and only those who
never pull at both ends to make APP
pearances meet could consider it for
q moment-San Francisco News-Let.

GENERAL FUNSTOE'S COURTSHIP
The death OK Ma. Gen. Funston has
cast a gloom over civilian as wen as
army circles here, where the Fun
stons are so well known. Mrs. Fun
ston spent her girlhood In Oakland.
and her eourtship and marriage to
Funston was the most romantic of the
many ronia1css which marked the
embarkment of the troops from this
port for the islands during our late
unpleasantness" With Spain.
The intrepid young soldier was in
yited TO weekend party at the Bel.
yedere home Of that gallant host who
used to hoist flag to let his friends
know when he was at home. Ten min.
utes after his arrival, the yalient sol.
der had made up his mind to marry
one Of the young ladies in the house
party. With true military discipline
be controlled his ardor, and did not
impart the news to her until their ac-
quaintance was at least an hour old.
He told her with precision and con-
viction at intervals thereafter during
the rest Of the weekend. and accom-.
panied her to Oakland to inform her
parents of his intentions.
Under the stress of such wooing the
girl and her parents both capitulated.
and they were married before he de-
parted for the islands. the courtship
and marriage having been expedited
within week. Mrs. Funston spent
the first. years of her married life in
the Philippines. but came back here
for frequent visits with her family Of
children, and during Gen. Funston's
subsequent posts, they have always
managed to vacation here. so, that the
old ties have never been broken, and
there are hosts OF friends here to
mourn his untimely death with her

GREAT RED CROSS AUCTION

The auction sale, given by the people
of Mineral Point for the benefit of the
Red Cross, was great success. Nearly
four hundred dollars was realized from
the donations, almost every child con-
tributing his share. Do you realize the
wonderful amount of work the Red
Cross of Mineral Point has been able to
do, because of the splendid backing of
the people of Mineral Point?
What we need most are more work
ers for the work and more knitters for
the knitting. We women have con-
tributed generously of our pocket
books, but must give more of our time.
six hundred and eighty articles of
knitting. We shall be the only branch
of the Madison chapter which has not
accomplished the amount appointed, if
we do not have it by that time. These
knitted articles are for United States
soldiers now in France and each society
has been apportioned a certain share of
them according to it's membership.
The effort is made to give each Amer
ican soldier in France for the coming
winter one of each of the four knitted
articles. The men who go from here
will be either in southern training
camps or in barracks where they will
not suffer from the cold for this winter
at least; but the men in France need
them now. Put off your fall cleaning
and sewing until after October first
and knit, knit, knit.

in this section should miss the oppor-
tunity of hearing Skovgaard and the

in the harbor at Bergen It was about
four O'Clock in the afternoon, and in the
meantime an old resident of this city
who had made the trip with us from
New York had passed the remark that
he knew fine place to get a chicken
dinner. A party of sixteen was gotten
together and our friend promised to
conduct us to this place, which was
some distance up in the mountains, and
also to telephone them as soon as we
landed so our dinner would be waiting
when we arrived. On account of there
being more or less excitement On board
that day, coming near land and admir-
ing the beautiful scenery along the
Norwegian coast. there were not any
of us who had taken much lunch, so as
result when we landed all we could
talk about was chicken, and Immediate

RED CROSS WORK
The Story Well Told by W. F.
Hintzman of the Extension Di-
vision of the University of
Wisconsin

On Saturday evening, under the aus
pices of the Mineral Point branch of the
Red Cross, Mr. w. F. Hintzman deliv-
cred very interesting address to a
large audience gathered on the street in
front of the Municipal building parks
The speaker told of the origin and pro-
gress of the Red Cross movement. He
said that the work of the order had
never been exceeded by any other or
ganization in the history of the world.
The membership of the American Red
Cross had increased from about 100000
a year ago to it's present membership Of
over 100000 names. In the ameliora-
ton of suffering and the treatment Of
injuries on the field of battle, the Red
Cross knows no nationality but admin
listers aid and comfort to all, and that
German wounded would receive equally
humane treatment with an American.
Marvellous relief work is being done by
the Red Cross. The speaker told of the
which is to teach patriotism to school
children and all others. He commended
the members of the Mineral Point
branch of the Red Cross for the large
work which they are doing and made q
strong appeal to the public to sustain
them in their efforts. 1t was strong
inspiring, patriotic address.

F00D-SAvING PLEA ISSUED
Wisconsin Households, Clubs, Hotels
and Restaurants Urged to Observe
Tuesdays as MeatIess and We'd
nesdays as WheatIess Days.

Madison. Sept. 1S. Wisconsin
households, clubs, hotels and restaur-
ants are urged to observe each Tues
day as a meatless day and each
Wednesday as wheatless day for the
duration of the war by Magnus Sven
son, food administrator for Wisconsin.
A proclamation issued by Mr.. SwensOn
reads as follows: Pursuant to the au-
thority vested in him by the president
Of the United States, Herbert Hoover,
national food administrator, has urged
as patriotic duty one meatless day
and one wheatless day each week as a
means of conserving the food supply.
Owing to the very great shortage of
wheat and meat, and the urgent neces-
sity Of conserving the present food
supply and creating reserve supply
for future needs, the people of this
nation have been asked to make per-
sOnal sacrifices. 1t is through their
cooperation alone that the food ad-
min1stratiOn can be successfully car
ried out. Therefore, acting under the
direction of Food Administrator Her
bert Hoover. I, Magnus Swenson, food
administrator for Wisconsin, hereby
call upon and urgently request the citi-
ZenS of this state to set aside Tuesday,
September 19, 1917, and all Tuesdays
thereafter during the period of the war
as a meatless day. | ask that all ho-
tells, restaurants and other eating
places serve meatless meals upon thar
day and that this practice be followed
in the homes of all patriotic citizens.
In order, further, that Wisconsin may
do it's share in the conservation Of
food, I ask that Wednesday, September
10, 1917, and all Wednesdays thereaf-
ter during the period Of the war be set
aside as a wheatless day. [ ask the
people Of Wisconsin to abstain from
the use of bread and pastries made
from wheat upon that day, to the end
that the wheat supply of the United
States may be increased for the time
when greater calls will be made upon
it, 1t was for this purpose that the
people of Wisconsin were asked to sign
the food pledge cards, but we have
concluded to put the above plan into
effect without waiting for a complete
return of the food pledge cards"
