WANT MORE RECRUITS
IN LOCAL COMPANY

The local military company, which
is Company E, 5th Wisconsin regiment
now has 70 men enlisted and if the
strength the boys in town will have
to get busy if they wish to start out
with 100 men when they leave for
camp. The citizens in town are begin
ming to appreciate what it means to
have company represent the city in
this war and are beginning to come
forward and help the boys to get their
next thirty men.
Several towns in the vicinity are
showing a great deal of interest in
the local company, especially is this
the case with Redwood as it has fur
nished five young men, and has done
more than her share. Those in the
company from Redwood are: John
w. Carroll, Frank hide, Ed. Mccall,
Gustav Rennhack and Anton Glum.
1t should be remembered that the
legislature passed a bill providing for
the support of dependent members of
a soldiers family. The sum of $50 will
be allowed the first dependent, $40
each for the two following, and SIS for
all the rest. This is in addition to the
regular army pay.
There is as much chance of escap-
ing the draft as there is of being hit
by lightning" Captain Solliday stated
to the guards at drill Monday night.
Captain Solliday urged the members
of the company to impress this fact
upon the registered men. There are
100000 men to be drafted and to get
this number practically all those men
who are physically fit will be called,
and under the present rigid federal
examinations hardly a man who is
registered will escape.
Manager Seager of the Majestic
theatre has extended an invitation to
all the members of the local guard to
take in performance at his theatre
any night they care to come in body.
A. R. Meyers, photographer, is taking
a photograph of every member of the
company free of charge and will give
each picture gratis.
Owing to the efforts Of Captain Sol
lfday, the Watertown company will be
the first in the 9Th regiment to get it's
equipment and the boys expect to be
measured for their uniforms in the
near future, and then camp will be
but a few days off.

Some Shooting Hints !

ut is always in season.
1t is not a proxy sport.
Twelve cities have municipal traps.
There are thirty trapshooting
| leagues
1t is the fastest growing sport in
the world
1t is featured with golf by the pleas
ure resorts.
| Seven hundred thirty-nine trap
shooting leagues were formed last
| year.
More than 300 yacht, country, golf
and motor clubs installed trapshoot-
| ing equipment in 1916.
Twelve thousand men and women
participated in the beginners day
tournament last year.
1t is approved by the railroads and
industrial establishments as the best
means of recreation.
There were less than 500 clubs six
years ago-there are more than $500
today.
There were less than 100000 trap
shooters six years ago-there are
nearly 100000 today
More than $4O,OOO,OO0 has been in
vested in trapshooting money
than in any other outdoor sport ex-
cept golf"
Here are a few other rules that
may be we'll observed:
! Cut out all comedy.
When you shoot at an egg on the
water, and there is splash several
! feet away, do not say Il hit it" unless
the egg is broken in at least two
pieces. The splash might have been
made by fish coming up for air at
the time, but science has proven that
an egg struck amidship by bullet
will collapse in nine cases out of ten.
! Don't say that the revolver kicked"
and therefore spoiled the nice keen
aim you had taken. When a gun
''kicks" the bullet is several hundred
| feet away. Just know that you
"flinched" and let it go at that, for we
all know it anyhow.
| If you make joking bet that you
can chit barn every time" it is best
| to lock yourself inside the barn and
| then cut loose. This makes the money
| sure
When you hit the target three
times in succession in the presence of
strangers, assume a dignifed air and
quit right then. Do not be led into any
further discussion or you might fall
down.
Results may be obtained by peering
down the barrel of revolver and
pressing the trigger, but the plan is
, mussy, and results uncertain.
Ladies will find the twenty-five cal
| ibre with the ten inch barrel much
handler than the forty-fve Colt from
tier model. Also the former is much
better than the latter in a thickly
settled community.
| Do not try to "shoot from the hip"
like a Texas cow-puncher until you
have had several years practice on one
of the commodious Texas farms where
the front door of the house is several
miles from the front gate.
When visiting Oklahoma or Texas,
avoid carrying the handkerchief in
the hip pocket and reaching for it
when saying good morning to Al
jennings, Buck Carrot, Frank Carter,
and others who have been prominent
citizens of the state. Some who have
done so now sleep meath the daisies
in the DELI

WANT RENDERING PLANT.
New Firm Plan to Erect One in Wa.
tertOWn.

1t is planned to erect a rendering
plant in this city somewhere along the
west shore of Rock river in the south
ern portion of the city. The promoters
are Domnitz & Feldman, the former of
Milwaukee and the latter of Mount
Horeb. A representative of the state
health board was in the city looking
over the proposed location, and upon
his report will depend to a great ex-
tent whether the plant will be put in
operation.
The proposed plant is known as the
steam system, and is said not to be
Objectionable when properly conduct

Why Not Travel

Thru by-paths of history,
With roamers of old,
We glimpse Of past splendors
And the futures foretold
With volumes of memries
And no gates to ba r,
And our card for ticket
We travel afar.
We of modern days have not the in
clinatiOn to travel as the wanderers of
old-the facilities and speed are ours.
but we are now paying too much atten-
ton to the materialistic side of life
and greatly neglect the intellectual
advantages offered by our public Ii
brary. A few moments of leisure
time devoted each day to self-educa-
ton will be appreciated greatly when
the time comes to put that self-edu-
cation to the test. Especially is this
true as regards our knowledge of
this great world of ours, which when
travelled in olden days was measured
in months and now is measured by
days, for hardly day goes by but we
meet people from different parts of
our country, or some foreign nation,
and we greatly underestimate the
benefits that would accure, if we
were in a position to talk of their
city and by questions gain that which
is of especial interest to us and
which could not be made clearer were
we to personally visit the city.
The books in the public library
help you to help yourself, and list
of travel books is appended to this
article, SO make it a point to stroll
around and look them over. Surely it
won't harm you, besides it won't be
a waste of time:
