This little group of sleepyheads

the assembly call was blown and the
men hoped out of bed and dressed
with the speed they should have shown

the Texas sun beating down on the

WISCONSIN BOYS
ARE GOOD HIKERS
MARCHING ABILITY SURPRISE
TO REGULARS AT CAMP
MAC ARTHUR.
OUTLINE TRAINING FEATURES
Period to Last at Least Four Months
and Program to Be of Pro-
gressive nature - Troops
Are Physically Fit.

Camp Macarthur, Waco, Tex.-Regu
lar army men stationed at Camp Nc
Arthur marvel at the superior march
ing of Wisconsin troops. When the
Badgers arrived here, Gen. James
Parker pointed out that part of the
weekly program would be a ten or
twelve mile hike on Saturday, but he
suggested that until the men had gone
through hardening process 1t might
be well to cut the hikes short Gen.
Boardman remarked that the Wiscon-
sin men had gone through stiff
marching program at Camp Douglas
and that ten or twelve miles over the
roads of Texas would not be a severe
task for them.
Gen. Parker had no idea that the
guardsmen were so far advanced in
the work, and he took special interest
in them the first few days as they
came back into camp after hours Of
hiking in the burning sun of Texas.
singing and whistling as gaily as if
they had just walked around the cor
ner. Gen. Parker liked this display
of physical fitness.
Much has been written concerning
the patriotism of different states.
Wherever one goes one is impressed
by the fact that in this war, as in all
other wars, Wisconsin is among the
first to respond. The national guard
came here recruited to war strength.
In some cases companies had too
many men. Important features in the
war training of troops at Camp Mac
Arthur have been definitely o"t;ined.
The period of intensive training will
be at least four months and the pro-
gram will be of a progressive nature,
beginning with the more simple phases
of the war game and leading up to
hand grenade throwing, bomb throw
ing, gas warfare, sniping and other up
to-date methods of fighting

BUTTERINE PRAISED.

The following quotation is taken
from bulletin on butterine is
sued by DR.. Thomas G. Hull, of the
department of public health of the
American Museum of Natural History,
and serves to show the trend of public
opinion with regard to hutterine:
From public health standpoint
butterine is safer today than butter.
Under the United States internal rev.
enue laws not only DO all products
entering into its manufacture nave TO
be passed by a government inspec-
ton, but every step in its manufacture
is under strict sanitary supervision
and all utensils, apparatus and indi-
viduals coming in contact with the
product must be kept clean. The same
cannot be said of butter manufacture,
whore rream from any source may be
used and the process conducted in some
instances under circumstances far
from ideal"

WHY WE SAVE

Our allies depend on America
for food. They are our compan-
ions in the great war for democ-
racy and liberty. They are doing
the fighting, suffering and dying
in our war. Their food produc-
tion has been greatly decreased.
They can have food enough only
if America provides it. We save
a little every day out of our
abundance so that they may be
kept on the fighting line and in
the -well-nourished to
continue the war until we our
selves can actively participate.

LIBERTY BONDS
THEN OIL STOCKS
Past Week Shows Little Activity in
Oil Stocks, Due to the Campaign
for Second Liberty Bond Issue.

The past week has been a dull one
for the oil stocks owing TO the desire
of the people to subscribe for the
second issue of Liberty Bonds in pref
erence to all other kinds of invest
ments, but this inactivity IS only tenn
porary and the coming weeks will
show a greater demand for oil stocks
with merit than ever before and The
Bulletin advises its readers to look
thoroly into the numerous propositions
now being presented to the investors.
Among the many oil stocks now
offered to the public The Bulletin de-
sires to call to the attention of its
many readers The Heaton Oil & Re
fining Co., operating m Oklahoma,
Wyoming and Colorado. This COM
pany has over 5000 acres of land in
proven territory. The company has an
able, efficient, honest management, and
numbers among its stockholders many
prominent business men of this city
who have invested their money in this
company, knowing that 1t will be used
to drill for oil in proven oil fields.
Fortunes have been made from small
investments in oil stocks and fortunes
will be made in this class of stocks in
the future because the demand for oil
and its by-products is far in excess of
the supply and new territory is being
sought all over this country.
The Bulletin advises its readers to
invest their money in oil stocks after
they have investigated the company
and the men back of it, and in this
respect we feel that the stock of The
Heaton Oil & Refining Co., at Is cents
per share is the one best bet. On
another page of this issue will be
found the advertisement of this COM
pany, giving more detailed state
ment of its properties and officers
and directors, which should be read
carefully and then decide quickly, as
this stock will not long remain at the
present price of Is cents per share.

BUILD WITH BONDS
PORTLAND UNIONS HIT UPON
SURE PLAN TO GET TEMPLE.
Members to Make Their Money Do
Double Duty, First For the Nation
and Then Build Own Home.
tspeci.I corre.pondeneel


PORTLAND, Ore, Oct. 16.-organ-
lied labor of this city will build a
Liberty Loan Labor Temple, if the
plan adopted by Central Labor Coun-
ell is successfully carried out.
The plan contemplates the organiza-
tion of clubs of ten or less for the
purpose of purchasing Liberty Bonds,
the bonds to be held in trust by the
Central Council and used as build
ing fund.
The following is the proposition as
submitted by the executive board of
the council:
First: The government has made
its second call upon all citizens TO pur-
chase Liberty Bonds. The import
ance of responding promptly and
heartily need not be emphasized in
this organization, but in order to aid
the government and at the same time
give impetus to the work of building
a Labor Temple which is so sorely
needed, all members of labor organiza-
tions of Portland and vicinity are
urged to purchase Liberty Bonds.
Second: The terms of purchase
make it possible to form ourselves
into groups of ten or less, each group
taking $50 bond.
Third: The bonds to be made pay
able to the Central Labor Council for
the purpose of establishing a fund to
be used in erecting Labor Temple.
Thus, we can make our money serve
a double purpose, and in the end build
a home with Liberty Bonds. Finally,
each subscriber will be given stock in
the Labor Temple equal to amount of
his or her interest as represented in
Liberty Bonds.
