Indications Point to Early Depar-
ture From Camp Douglas
Mascots on the Increase.

Camp Douglas, Aug. 15.-There is a
stir In Camp Douglas which indicates
early departure for Waco, Tex, of sew
eral units of the Wisconsin National
Guard, most Of which has been mus
tered into the federal service. No for
NAL announcement has been made as
to when troops Will leave and no pas

Indicate immediate departure, but COM
panies which are not up to war
strength are being filled from the
ranks Of unassigned men, and there
Is general feeling that the order from
Gen. Thomas FL. Barry to leave for the
southern cantOnment is not far off. The
first units, as previously indicated, will
be made up of camp builders, with the
different branches Of the service repre-
sented. The main body Of the Guard
is likely to follow soon after the camp
builders leave. Whether all the men
will be equipped here or whether part
Of the equipment will be shipped to
Waco has not been announced. It is
believed, however, that the soldiers
leaving here will be khaki and carry
rifles, and that the remainder of the
equipment will be provided in the
southern camp. Adjt. Gen. Orlando
HOlway was visitor on Monday, re-
turning to Madison ON late afternoon
train. Accompanied by Gen. Charles
BOardman and Lieutenant Colonel Will
Hams, General Holway made hurried
inspection of the reservation. He was
particularly interested in the progress
made by the new organizations. De
spite depressing weather" said he,
"everything is moving along nicely"
Cameron Fraser, secretary of the Re
publican state central committee, was
another camp visitor. Mr.. Fraser was
loaded down with baskets of fried
chicken for Troop D men from Me-
nomonie. "This place is a marvel of
order and cleanliness" said Mr. Fra
ser. 1.-THE men look fine, and one can't
help but be impressed by the enthusi-
aSm with which the soldiers go about
their work. | never saw so much order
and system and close attention to de-
tails. l wish we could run a political
convention with as much efficiency as
this big camp is conducted" The rap.
idly increasing number Of mascots,
ranging from an eagle to goats, bull
dogs and bears, is not looked upon with
favor by the military authorities, al
though no order has been issued to send
mascots back home. Company pets
take up considerable time and add con-
siderable work, and any further in
crease in the number Of mascots may
make the question a serious one The
general health in camp continues good,

epidemic of mild colds. Several cases
of pleurisy and two cases of appendi-
citis are being treated in the hospital.

Madison, >Aug. 15.-That an attempt
has been made to have Governor Phil
ipp include in the call for the special
session Of the legislature a modifica-
ton of the antitrust law passed by the
last legislature is one of the discoveries
made here on Monday. 1t was evident
that the antitrust law did not meet
with the approval of some of the manu-
facturers when passed, and an attempt
was made to have the bill vetoed in
the closing days of the session Now,
it is stated on good authority, that dur
ing the last week manufa cturers asked
that the repeal or modification of the
law be included in the call for the spe-

In passing thru the town of Sigel
and Arpin we noticed that the oats
are so thick and heavy that they are
badly lodged. Whether this is due
to the heavy conditions of the stock
or whether it is due to rain and wind is
not known but the fact is they are
badly lodged.
We understand in certain localities
in Wood County that the grass hop
pers are giving considerable trouble
to the oats and cabbage. One farmer
stated that he was going to cut his
oats because of the grass hoppers,
altho the oats were not quite ripe yet.
John Monagan of Dexterville, Wis,
the well known foreman with the
County Highway Commission, was in
the city the past week on business
connected with his official position.
With the truck he moved the two hou1
eS that belong to WOOD County to that
locality.
Hugo Hessler of the town of Seneca
is pretty busy man these days. For
weeks he has been gathering hay of
which there is an unusually large crop
but now he is cutting oats and rye and

has rented the Merriam farm of 200
acres purchased 40 acres west of
same and also rented and planted part
of the Nixon farm adjoining making

THE MORAYIAN
Community
Church Of
VEEDUM
(Contributed.)

The keen interest in the enthusiasm
shown and the regularity of attend
ance, have proven strong evidence of
the sincerity of the members and
friends of the Veedum Moravian
church. Ever since the church was or
ganized, the members, especially the
officials have been working Zealously
toward its up-building.
A movement toward organizing a
community church was begun some
time ago, and the first important step
was taken when in the spring of 1916,
the people Of Veedum asked Rev. c..
A. Meilicke pastor Of the First Mora
Wan church of this city to come out to
conduct services once a month. This
Rev Meilicke consented to do, and for
a year he made a monthly journey to
Veedum, preaching both in the English
and German languages. The interest
continued to grow and finally on April
10, 1917, the church was organized I'M
der the name of the Moravian Com
munity Church of Veedum
The members then felt the import
ance of weekly services. They there
fore, engaged Henry A. Kuehl, senior
of the Moravian Theological Seminary,
Bethlehem, Pa, for the summer
months. Since his arrival in June, the
services each Sunday have been: Sun
day school, 9 a. m, English services
9:45 a. M, and German services i'm
mediately after the English, on the
first and third Sundays of each month
Beside the Sunday services, a class of
twelve boys and girls meet for cate
chetical instruction at 2 p. NJ, each
Saturday.
Each service bore it's special bless
ing, but the most blessed of all was
the happy service of July 10Th. On
this day three children were baptized,
nine adults were confirmed and the
Holy communion was celebrated. Rev.
Meilicke, who officiated during the SER
vices, preached a powerful sermon on
the text, Jehovah Preserveth the Way
of His Saints" Prov. 2:8, touching
the heart of every one present.
About twenty-four Grand Rapids
people accompanied Rev. Meilicke to
Veedum. Among them were eight
members of the choir of the First Mo-
ravian church. Their singing did much
to increase the beauty and solemnity
of the services.
To show their appreciation for the
services rendered by the Grand Rap
ids people and to become better ac-
quainted with them, the people of Wee
dunn, through the kindness of the M.
w. A. officials, secured the latter's
hall and there served a sumptuous din
ner to the entire gathering of about
one hundred and sixty-fve people. At
ter dinner several hours were spent
IN the grove near the hall, by singing
hymns and in becoming more familiar
with one and another.
1t was happy and blessed day for
all, and the afternoon was far spent
ere all had finally departed for their
homes
