A GERMAN SPY

A gay young man, passing himself
off as Captain Hart" off from duty
on furlough, spent all of the past
summer at Fournier's camp on But
ternut lake, northeast of Three Lakes.
and who was quite popular in his
khaki dress, turns out to be a Ger
man spy. Recently Fournier suspect
ed all was not right. The man had
passed check on him and he followed
him to Chicago, where he nabbed him.
1t turned out that the mans name was
Carl Won Rosenberg, and he was wanted
by the U. S. authorities as being one
of the leaders in the German propa-
ganda scheme to stir up trouble be-
tween Mexico and the United States.
He is now safely behind the bars, but
he had most beautiful outing at the
lakes in northern Wisconsin and lived
off the fat of the land until he rea ched

speakers will be Hon. A. L. Kreutzer

says:
Mr.. Kreutzer has during the past
month addressed numerous meetings
in the different cities of Wisconsin,
and his speeches have been most high
ly applauded and favorably comment
ed upon by the state press, and it
will be well worth the effort to travel
several miles to hear Mr.. Kreutzer.
Himself self-made man of the good
old sturdy stock of the German pio-
neers of Marathon county, Mr. Kreut-
ger can by no means be accused of
being prejudiced against Germany or
the German people or the German
Americans. He is patriot and knows
what he speaks of, and so is Mr..
Genrich and the other speakers. 1t
is also intended to have a Red Cross
lady here from Wausau, who will ex-
plain the work of this society to our
ladies and organize them into a To-
cal branch of the Red Cross society,"

Most Popular War Cry.

The most popular war cry is "Hur.
rah - an exclamation of indefinite
origin. 1t is found in various forms in
Swedish and Danish (hurra), German
(hurrah), French (hOura), Russian
(ura). Some connect it with such
words as hurry" ''whirl;" the mean
ing would then be haste" to encour-
age speed or onset in battle. The
Russian soldiers adopted "hurrah'' in
the War of Liberation (1812-13), and
since then it has become a favorite
battle cry all over Europe. 1t seems,
however, that the word is pure Sla-
v0nian, for it is commonly heard from
the coast of Dalmatia to Behring strait
where any of the Slavic population
within the limits are called ON to give
proof of courage and valor.

SERVING THE NATION
THROUGH CONSERVATION

Hundreds of thousands of tons of
coal characterization of barrels of
oil unconsumed-man power saved to
the extent of thousands of days of
labor-because the Milwaukee Road"
has electrified it's lines across the
Great Continental Divide.
The tremendous power of mountain
waterfalls, spilling away wastefully
for ages has been harnessed to per-
form the great task of moving the
heavy steel trains of this railway
across the mountains of the north
west, releasing an invaluable store of
the earth's treasured energy to other
purposes so necessary to the nation
now.
And this great achievement so i'm
portant in conserving the nations re-
sources, redeeming mountain travel
from smoke and cinders, is now being
extended through another great range
the Cascades in Washington.

HALLOWEEN

On Wednesday, October 81, is Hal
loween This is the season of the
year that the spirits walk, the black
cat rides moonward on a broom-st;ck
to the weird music of his yowls. and
witches. gnomes and hobgoblins an
pear before fearsome mortals. Amonp
the well known stunts during this sea-
son is the TICK lacking of windows
rim ging door bells, soaping windows
chalking windows, etc. For the grown
ups fortunes are great thing and
shadows on this day indicate all man
ner of events that will befall in the
future, according to the Halloween
seers of the mystic symbols of the
witches. Ghost stories are also heard
at this time of the year, and are told
in such way as to make one ac-
tually believe they are really and truly
so.
During this time of the year Hal
lowe'en parties are given. The lack
o-lantern is the mystic symbol OF
Halloween. Pumpkins are also used
with the meaty parts scooped out and
candles inserted. The papier mache
pumpkin jack-o-lanterns can now be
gotten and are more artistic. Other
symbols in keeping with this season
are black cats, witches, skeletons.
COLLINS, etc. Orange and black colors
aroused to harmonic with these svm-
bols in the decorations. Several Hal
lowe'en parties were given the past
week and plans for others are now
under way.
Halloween is becoming more and
more sane, so to speak. Years ago, and
not so many years gone by, any thing
movable was surely out of its place
the day following Halloween. Many
people would sit up all night, so as
to be sure their homes would not be
carried off and placed on some un-
earthly spot. Franks, such as, the
carrying away of the high school bell
and locking it in the village JAIL ETC.,
were among the common ordinary
things done on Halloween night.
These stunts are gradually going out
of existance. The officers of a village
and city are on the lookout for sus~
picious characters on Halloween
nights.

A special meeting of the city council

A kindergarten department was
asked for the High school by number
of interested parents, who live close

ing for an interest of Az per cent.
it was voted to dispose of them to the
highest bidder at five per cent.
1t was authorized to change the east
sLan of the new concrete bridge to
conform to the remain der of the
bridge.
The cement walk at the old city hall
is below grade and was voted to be
brought up to proper grade
There was considerable other bust

NATION TO ASSUME
FORMER STATE AID
Congress 'Enacts Regulation Granting
Relief to Dependents of
Men in Army.

Word was received from Adjt Gen.
Holway that the state aid for families
of soldiers would be cut off in view
of the passage of a federal law as
surfing these dependents of practically
the same support. Gen. Holway's let
ter is as follows
"All applicants for aid as dependent
relatives of soldiers under the Wis
consin statute are advised that con-
gress has just enacted a law which
assures all entitled to such aid prac-
tically the same amount which would
otherwise be awarded to them by the
Wisconsin law
The soldiers are in the service of
the United States, and the obligation
of the state to aid their dependents is
justly held to be postponed to that of
the federal government Regulations
governing applications for and the
distribution of this federal aid will
undoubtedly be forthcoming with all
possible speed.
Since the obligation is primarily
| federal, this office will hereafter re-
quire that all applications for aid of
dependent relatives of soldiers shall
first be made to the proper federal de-
partment in the manner prescribed by
regulations governing such applica-
| tionS.
THE state adjutant generals depart
ment will, to the extent possible. aid
all such applicants in properly pre-
senting their claims to the federal de-
partment in charge, and in procuring
their allowance.
THE benefit of the state aid will be
reserved, to provide as far as law
fully possible, for the meritorious cas-
es which are not adequately covered
by the federal laws

best investment any young man could
make.
"Billie, if you will go up to my room
and bring my small handbag, l will
let you see two photographs of the
same young man, showing what only
five months of intensive training on
the Mexican border did for him."
The bag was brought. Uncle Dan,
showing the pictures, said: "Well,
here they are. They tell their own
story and it is a mighty interesting
one. The young man, before training,
has a discouraged look; he has seen
but little of the world. There was
very little in his surroundings to bring
him out. When he Joined the colors
and Uncle Sam took: him in charge,
life for him took on a new meaning.
He saw q chance to do something and
be something. He woke up. His cap
tain says he is twice the man he was
when he joined the army. This may
be one of the extreme cases." said
Uncle Dan. 81 can tell you, though,
that war or no war, no one thing will
do the young men of this nation so
much good in so short time as a few
months of intensive military training.
1t fits man to fight his own life bat
ties in the business world as we'll as
to defend his country and its flag.
"Nearly every civilized country gives
its boys military training. 1t Is COM
pulSory. It IS based upon the fact that
1t is the duty of everyone to help de-
fend his country; and as war is now
carried on, no one can do much unless
he is trained. Also, the records show
that the killed and wounded among
unframed troops is nearly three times
as great as it is with well-trained men
who know how to fight and how to
protect themselves. BY this plan a
nation has trained men to defend her
and the individual is a stronger and
better man for the training.
IF the Chamberlain Bill for Mill
tary Training is passed by congress.
as it ought to be, the same thing would
be done for millions of other young
men throughout the land. Everybody
ought TO demand of his congressman
and senators the passage of this
bill"

The following is brief description
of the composition and functions of
the electoral college of the United
States: On presidential election day,
which occurs on the Tuesday after the
first Monday in November, instead of
voting directly for the president and
vice president, the qualified voters of
each state vote for as many electors
as the state has senators and repre-
sentatives in congress. The electors
thus chosen constitute the electoral col
lege. These electors meet in their re-
Spective states on the second Monday
in January following and vote by bal
lot for the two Offices Three lists of
the persons voted for and the number
of votes received by each are certified
ana signed by all the electors and then
sealed. ON the second Wednesday of

WELL" sale Uncle Dan, feeling,
That's a mighty good arm!'
Now, boys" said Uncle Dan, what
do you want to talk about?"
WELL" said Jimmie, II was down to
Galesburg a few months ago when the
boys came home from the Mexican
border. They looked fine. Everybody
was surprised to see how straight they
stood and how manly they were. The
boys seemed proud to wear the uni

hard as nails. l heard Banker Haskell
say that the training and discipline
the boys had had was exactly what
every boy in the country ought to
have, and that now these boys could
get a better Job at higher pay than
they could have had before. Do you
think that's so, Uncle DAM"
Uncle Dan replied; Il have
friend who employs hundreds of young
nicn. He always gives boys having
had military training the preference !;
he says it pays to do so. He finds
they are more alert, more prompt,
more courteous; they know how to
carry out orders; they are quicker to
think and to act than those without
training. He said from his experience
he believed that six or eight months
of intensive military training would
