WILL ENFORCE
ROAD LAWS
Highway Commissioner Will Enforce
Law Regarding Roads That Are
Closed

Highway Commissioner Amundson,
it seems has decided to enforce the law
on closing up a public road while under
construction.
The law, in regard to travelling over
state road when the County High
way Commissioner has posted notice
to keepoff, is very severe and in the
last five years the Commissioner has
been so lenient with the public that he
has caused the arrest of only one man
during all this time, until the other
day when on inspecting the concrete
pavement at Nekoosa, he discovered
traffic tracks of some kind of vehicle
having driven along on top of the con-
crete pavement about three days after
it was built.
The arrest of the offender followed.
The offense of going through a road
with the proper signs posted is mis-
demeanor and the penalty is not to ex-
coed $4,000 for each offense, and the
cost of any damage done by anyone
passing through or over any highway
construction or bridge while so closed
may also be paid by the offender.

MEN OVER 81
YEARS Of AGE

Milwaukee, Wis, June 28.- While
the state is trying to recruit its quota
of men for the first selective draft ar
my, the defense council is aiding in
recruiting officers for the next 100000
draft. These men will go into train
ing in Arkansas in August to be pre-
pared to officer the next draft which
probably will come toward the end of
the year.
Fifty committees throughout the
state are working to secure Wiscon-
sins quota of candidates for the off
GERS reserve. About four hundred are
needed and the campaign closes July
Is. when no more applications will be
received.
Men over 81 years of age and under
A, Of special qualifications are de-
sired. They preferably should have
some military training, a college edu-
cation and be fitted singularly to lead
men. The camp in all probability will
beat Camp Logan H. Root, Arkansas
and will be conducted from August 27
to November 26.

ARCHBISHOP
RELAND'S
TRIBUTE TO
THEREDCROSS

"The Red Cross is the noblest of in
situations today, and we Americans all
salute the Red Cross and than that no.
BILE institution for what it is doing and
intends to do for our soldiers. They
shall be on the glory field; they shall
be in the trenches; they shall cross the
tempestuous waves of the ocean and
much risk they run, but let them know
that friends, fellow Americans, are
near at hand to staunch the wounds,
should wounds come, to wipe the tear,
should the eyelids grow moist.
Eyes, America needs today the Red
Cross. We need it to come to their
rescue in all their needs. Kindness,
charity, is the watchword of the Red
Cross. 1t is highest patriotism.
without the Red Cross poor and
slender would be the care given by the
governments, for the governments can
only do little in the way Of kindness
and charity. Theirs is to command, to
bid the soldiers go forward. Yours to
follow the soldiers and do all you can
to make their lot less severe, less try
ing."-St. Paul, June 16, 1917.

DONpTBE
ASLACKER

Idlers are slackers! The moral tone
of every community ought to make it
decidedly uncomfortable for any idle
person this season.
Such is the sentiment of the State
Council of efense, which finds that
farmers turnout the state need extra
help in cultivating and harvesting the
crops. It also finds that experienced
farm help is not available. There
are, however, many boys and men
whose time is unoccupied or only part
Iy occupied. They are not doing their
full patriotic duty unless they are busy
all the time at some productive en-
ployment.
The slogan of the state council of de-
tense is every man on a job" This
means that all boys and young men
must work. It means that ministers,
business men, clerks, and others whose
whole time is not occupied must use
their spare hours and days and their
vacation periods.
Let every such person register with
the Labor Agent of his County Coun-
Gil of efense. Then let him work when
he is notified that his services are
needed.
There are jobs for all, and to spare.
ont be a Stacker!

RECEIPTS
OVER S4OO

AS an indication of the good will
and respect held by the Cavalry Troop
G, which was organized in this city,
by the people of Grand Rapids was
evident at the military ball given by
them Thursday night. The armory
was crowded by enthusiastic lovers
of dancing on that occasion, as a com
pliment to the Troop, which is held in
highest esteem by our citizens. The
boys have been giving their time to
their drill work and duties connected
with the Troop, say nothing Of their
enlistment in the defense of their
country. This service is appreciated
by our people. They wanted to give
theboys a substantial evidence of their
good will SO they patronized the ball
literally for that purpose. The grand
march took place at nine o'clock head
ed by Mr.. and Mrs E. W. Ellis and
the music was furnished by the Ellis
Orchestra. A delightful evening was
passed and the patriotic sentiment that
prevailed during the evening was cor
daily received by members Of the
Troop. The military ball was a sue
cess in every way and the members of
the Cavalry Troop appreciated the
compliment showed them.

There is more Catarrn IN this sec
ton of the country than all other dis
eases put together. and until the last
few years was supposed to be incur
able. For great many years doctors
pronounced it local disease and pre-
scrlbed local remedies. and by con-
stantly failing to cure with local treat
ment, pronounced it incurable. Sci
ence has proven Catarrh to be a con-
stitutional disease, and therefore re-
qu1res constitutional treatment. Halls
Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J.
Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only
Constitutional cure on the market. It
acts directly on the blood and mucous
surfaces of the system. They offer

fails to cure. Send for circulars and

RESOURCEFUL-
NESS Of THE JEW

While in R. M. Levin's store Friday
afternoon he told a good story on his
brother, jew countryman, who was in
the clothing business and had a sign
over his door which read, eve Can Fit
All Kinds of Men" One morning a
one-legged man who was passing by
read the sign and hesitated, and then
meditated. While he was meditating
Ike, the boy clerk said to the proprie-
tro, "That one-legged man is reading
the sign out there and he will prob
abby come in here for a pair Of
pants "How are you going to fit
him ?" The proprietor said, "Ike, you
leave that to me-" and he Immediately
had the seamstress cut off one leg
from pair of pants, but in doing SO,
the seamstress cut off the wrong leg.
Sure enough, the one-legged customer
came in and asked if they could fit
him to pair of pants. The proprie-
tor answered sure, please step this way
they attempted to fit him to a pair of
pants. When the pants were brought
forth the seamstress had cut off the
wrong leg and therefore could not fit
him to that pair. The joke was on the
proprietor, but they finally made a
success of fitting the customer and
proving their sign true. This however,
did not happen in Grand Rapids.
