State Labor Permits Now Ready.

The industrial commission has been
receiving letters and kilograms of in
quiry regarding the new child labor
law, which went into effect Septem-
her /. Employers throughout the state
appear to be anxious 10 comply with
the new state law and the federal
child labor law which also became eff
fective September l.
"There is an unavoidable delay in
supplying the issuing officers with
blanks for the issuance of permits
said George F. Hambrecht. chairman
Of the industrial commission, on Sat
urday.
"Thls delay was due to the fact that
II was necessary to make the rules and
procedure under the state law conform
strictly with those under the federal
law" To bring about this result Mr..
Hambrecht late in July went 10 Wash
ington TO the federal department Of la
Dor to harmonic the Wisconsin rules
with federal requirements.
"By adopting the course we did.
said Mr.. Hambrecht. "the federal labor
department designated the Industrial
commission as its agent to Issue labor
permits acceptable TO the federal gov
eminent. The permits which are now
being issued In Wisconsin will be ac-
cepted by the federal government as
meeting its requirements"
Many Of these permits viii be issued
10 children between sixteen and sew
enteen years of age who are now for

All children between fourteen and sew

1 liberty eonds for Christmas.

The first do your Christmas shop
ping early suggestion for 1917 comes
from the state council of defense In a
bulletin which urges the buying of use
full gifts.
The bulletin follows:
Save money and save worry In Sc
lecting presents during the war by
giving useful gifts. The generosity of
the American people this year should
be practically devoted TO their country.
Conserving our resources means giving
to the nation. Every year the indis-
criminate iuterchanging Of gifts cost
much and profits little.
IAN the trinkets, high-priced jewell
ry and china in the world will not help
win the war They may be good to
look at. but we cannot eat them, Meth
er will they keep us warm. Why not
eliminate those gifts which are purely
for diversion and ornamentation and
substitute the useful and the practical
this year.
"Smal sums of money and Liberty
bonds make very acceptable and eX-
cellent gifts. If you can afford bond
as gift 1t will serve as reminder Of
your thoughtfulness for many Christ
mas 10 come.
Remember the soldier and the
sailor who are fighting for you. Do
your part to make their Christmas in
camp or In the trenches or ON the war
vessels as much like home as possible
during the Christmas season.
''Why not decide this year. too, to
stay nj home with our Christmas gifts7
Let us leave out of consideration the
uncles. the aunts, the cousins, the
nieces and nerhews and ask them 10
likewise strike your names OFF their
| Christmas lists. BY so doing, we will
be better off financially. we will be
just as happy on Christmas day and we
win have more money In our pockets
TO pay our taxes.
| BUY early, buy sensihly, and buy
carefully when you do your shopping
for Christmas this year"
| The suggestions of the council would
revolutionize the mercenary meaning
of Christmas and thereby briag about
| conservation, at the same time restor-
ing the spiritual significance of the
holiday season.
