idle hour; men who can sweep
floors, serve cocoa under shellfire,
teach French and referee boxing
bout. Men OF personality, and ov-
err thirty years old. Ii you think you
know such man, who isn't doing
his lit, send him down to the head
quarters Of the Y. NJ. C. A. War
Work Council, at 124 East 28th
Street, New York; or tell him to
write there for an application blank.
Since the United States entered
the war there have been over ten
thousand applications for work of
this kind. Perhaps 1000 of these
have been accepted. The Associa-
ton realizes the great Importance of
choosing the right kind of men as
It's secretaries. One Y. NJ C. A.
secretary is needed for every thou
sand troops. The Personnel Bureau
at the office CT the National War
Work Council in Twenty-eighth St.,
New York, contains thirty people
who are busy with this problem Of
selecting the right men FOR this
work with our own soldiers, but to
york with the French, I lssian, and
Italian armies, and with the prison
ers of war in the warning nations.
The prisoner Of war work in Ger
many and Austria, however, is now
largely carried on by Y. NJ. C. A..
men from the neutral countries !:
Switzerland, the Netherlands. and
Scandinavia.
One of the most inspiring Tea
lures of the Associations whole
crusade is the high calibre of the
men engaged, and the way in which
men Of affairs have laid down their
private concerns to volunteer for
service with the Red Triangle. One
man who is teaching the men at a
draft cantonment to sing, and is do
ing work as valuable as that of
any one man in the whole camp, was
an automobile dealer in a lerge city
in New York State. He was past
military age; his son was in France;
he has sold his home, taken his wife
to lodgings in town near the
camp, and is devoting his whole
time, at his own expense, to the
splendid work of getting the boys
together and bracing them up by
means of mass singing. Another
man was a leading lawyer in Pitts.
burgh who is giving half his time to
7. M. c. A. work, acting as the ex-
aminer for the Personnel Bureau. A
business man whose annual income
is over $4,000 came to the office
Of the Y. M. C. A. offering to throw
up his business and do anything that
the Association would assign him if
he could only get into the work. 81

NJ. c. A." he said, "but men are
dying over there to make us safe,
and MUST do something. I'll
scrub floors if you say So" College
professors, ministers, actors, musi-
cians-men of every calling have
volunteered to help out in any way
they can.
Let no one imagine that this Y.
M. C. A. work is easy, gentle, and
safe. The men work harder than
any private in the ranks. In
France, the Y. NJ. C. A. dugouts go
right up to the front lines; many of
them are within few hundred
yards of the enemy trenches; more
than one Y. M. C. A. man has been

ENLIST AT RATE OF 2OOA DAY
Adjt. Gen. HoIway Says Total Num-
Der in Wisconsin Subject to
Call is 1925 Men.

Madison-The work of recruiting the
Wisconsin National guard is progress
ing at the gratifying rate of zoe enlist
ments day. Adjt. Gen. Orlando Hol-
way said in statement made in de-
NAL of story printed by some of the
newspapers of the state that recruit
ing for the National guard service had
been practically stopped.
The present strength of the Wiscon-
sin National guard, which in time of
was is subject to call into federal
service, in the, recognized units, is:
Infantry. $500; artillery, 600; cav
airy 800; sanitory troops, 175; a total
of 6,375. This total would have been
materially larger if war department
orders about two weeks ago had not
practically suspended recruiting.
"In addition to the above there are
under the national defense oath, in
units, for which the war department is
Withholding recognition Cavalry,
$50; infantry, $50; signal troops, 100;
artillery, 90; sanitary troops, 60; a
total of 1866. Thus the total strength
of the Wisconsin National guard, sub
iect to call is 1925 men,"

GUARD FUND BILL is PASSED
Lower House Votes Annual Appropri-
alton of 100000 for Support
of State Militia.

Madison-The bill making an annual
appropriating of 100000 for the sup
port of the national guard was passed
in the assembly by vote Of sc to s.
Carl Hansen and the socialist group
voted against the bill.
The senate is apparently swamped
with war bills.
The upper house refused to permit
Senator Schultz of Milwaukee to In
troduce a new bill increasing the tax
on incomes to meet state war expendi-
lures. It also refused to receive re
solution by Senator Mulburger OF
WATERFOWL, providing that no bill OF
resolution pertaining to the present
war be introduced in the senate, ex.
cept by the committee on Legislative
procedure. Both measures were re-
ferred to the committee on Legislative
procedure for consideration.
Senator Burke by unanimous con
sent, introduced new bill prohibiting
lawyers from soliciting either directly
or indirectly any professional bust
ness. The title of the bill prohibits
ambulance chasing" and soliciting
business by attorneys.

ADVANCE TRADE STAMP BILL
Kind of Device Permitted-Anti-
Cigarette Bill Killed.

Madison-The assembly, by a vote
of 63 to 81, sent to engrossment the
Hart substitute, prohibiting the use of
trading stamps in Wisconsin, and pro-
viding for the enforcement of the law
by the state dairy and food depart
ment.
The Hart measure prohibits the use
of any trading stamps or any similar
device, except that any manufacturer.
packer or dealer may issue any slip,
ticket or check with the sale Of any
goods, wares or merchandise, which.
slip, ticket or check shall bear upon
its face stated cash value and shall
be redeemable only in cash for the
amount stated thereon upon presenta-
ton an amount aggregating Is cents
or over of redemption value and only
by the person, firm or corporation is
suing the same. This measure would
go into effect on Jan. /, 1918.
The assembly killed the Otto bill,
which would regulate the use Of trad
ing stamps in the state by vote of
rs to 2. 1t killed the Kvam bill for a
5000 license in each county for every
trading stamp concern in the state.

MAY TRAIN BIG ARMY
MANY SITES OFFERED IN STATE
AS MOBILIZATION CENTERS.
State Fair Park, Eau Claire, Oshkosh.
GAINESVILLE and Lake Halle Among
Places Mentioned.

Madison-America's system of pre-
paredness calls for the raising and or
ganization of a great army, and within
a few months Wisconsin, because OF
its many desirable sites, may become
one of the principal training points in
the country.
In letter to Adjt. Gen Orlando Hol-
way, the federal government, through
Gen Barry of Chicago, asked for infor-
nation concerning available sites IN
this state, to be used as points OF
mobilization and training camps. 1t is
the theory of authorities here that a
big force of men will be brought in
from other states, and that Wisconsin
may be turned into military camps for
as many as $4,000 troops.
Sites have been offered at Stiles,
Lake Halle, Eau Claire, Oshkosh and
GAINESVILLE. The state fair park in Mil
waukee has been suggested, but this
is not considered especially desirable,
for the reason that too many build
ings are on the grounds. and the prox-
unity of the park to large city raises
certain disadvantages, in the opinion
of military men.
Stiles is offering several square miles
of land along the Oconto river. Lake
Halle is suggesting camp between
! Eau Claire and Chippewa Falls. The
Civic and Commerce, association OF
Eau Claire has come forward with the
suggestion that a camp be established
near that city. The fair grounds at
GAINESVILLE and Oshkosh have been rec
commended, it being stated that tn
both cases considerable adjacent ter
ritory would be available if needed.
That these places are high, dry, sani-
tary, with good water, perfect drain
age and excellent railroad facilities, is
sent forth in letters to Gen. Holway.
Camp Douglas, which is regarded as
one of the finest military reservations
in the country, is large enough to &C
commodate approximately 10000 men,
but it appears to be the plan of the
war department to send more men
here than could be taken care Of at
this point.

OFFER LARGE RACE PURSES
Milwaukee Chamber of Commerce and
n. j. keenan, Guarantee $4,000
Stakes for 1917 State Fair.

Observation-Disclosures men of Mil
waukee, enthused by the excellent
racing at the Wisconsin state fair dur
ing the last three years, desiring to
make Milwaukee the harness racing
center of the west, have made it pos
sible for the state fair this year to an
nounce $4,000 stakes, the biggest har-
mess racing events to be decided out
side the Grand circuit Led by p. j.
Donahue, fifty members of the Cham
Der of Commerce have granted a
$4,000 stake for PIP trotters. H. j.
Keenan, owner of the new Plankinton
hotel, has guaranteed $4,000 stake
for 2:12 PAGERS.
The Milwaukee Chamber of Com
nerce $4,000 stake will be raced on
Milwaukee day, Thursday, Sept. ID.
The Plankinton hotel $4,000 stake will
be raced on State and Governors day,
Wednesday, Sept. IL.
Milwaukee business men have en-
abled us to this year lay claim as the
VESTS harness racing center" said
Oliver q. Remey, secretary of the
State fair, land state fair officials GER
tainly appreciate their loyalty and
support / am quite sure that these
big stakes will attract sufficient en-
-ries to make them self-supporting.
This means that the sizes of the
stakes can be increased next year, and
perhaps others added.
while the state fair this year an
nounces a racing program in which
$25,700 will be won in four days, rae
ing will cost much less than ever be-
fore because of increased entries at
tracted by the big events on the pro-
gram.
Present officials of the state fair
have, succeeded in establishing thor
ough cooperation between Milwaukee
and the rest of the state in conducting
the big Badger state exposition, and
the guarantee of the two big $4,000
stakes by Milwaukee business men is
evidence of this cooperation"

ATOMS SUGGESTED BY
STATE SCHOOL.
ECONOMY TO BE PRACTICED
Fiscal Program For War Period
Causes Offer to Keep Main
tenance Cost Down-others
May Accept Less.

Madison-The University of Wiscon-
sin, through Business Manager H. J..
Thorkelson, is pointing the way for
war economy in the form of reduced
appropriations. The university volun-
teered to accept approximately $780,
600 less than the amount requested at
the hands of the present legislature.
Acting upon the suggestion of the
university, which recognizes the rela-
ton of war to fiscal affairs in the
state, the joint committee on finance
of the legislature will revise appro-
priations for the institution on the
bill.
1t may be stated with authority that
some Of the state boards and commits
sions will also be willing to accept
less than they asked for.
1.-THE patriotic position of the Uni
versity of Wisconsin," said Assembly
man E. A. Everett, "blazes the trail for
war economy. 1t is to be hoped, and
there is reason to believe that other
institutions will show the same spirit
of cooperation, making it possible to
bring about very substantial reduc-
tons in appropriations"
I'VE appreciate the unusual situa-
ton which has arisen in consequence
of the war and the necessity of eco
nomizing," declared Mr.. Thorkelson.
1t is the desire of the university to
cooperate in every way in this con-
tingency with the finance committee
of the legislature.
at is assumed" said Mr. 1horkel-
son, chat the university will have
available for the coming biennium
from the university fund income which
will represent reduction for the
bienntum of about $650,O0O."
