Fail to Give Proper Address on Re-
gistration Cards.
Qnestionnaries Returned by the Post
Office Department Claiming
Wrong Addresses.

Failure of eighty-one persons
in Bayfield, County to give their
proper address and to keep the
Local Board posted when they
have moved from place to place
may get a lot of them into seri-
Gus trouble with the United
States Government.
Below we publish a list of
eighty-one persons whose mail
has been returned by the Post
Office Department to the local
board because the present ad-
dress of the person was not
known.
This was the address given by
the registrants on the registra-
tion cards and is the only ad-
dress the Local Board has for
the purpose of locating these
persons, and therefore failure of
the Local Board to reach them
with questionnaires is matter
for which they alone are to
blame.
These men will beiplaced in the
same status as persons who have
received questionnaires but have
failed to return them to the
Local Board and will be con-
sidered as "slackers" by the
Government and will be punished
accordingly.

department has been unable to
locate.

Start Campaign

The various county chairmen O
the War Savings Campaign in Wis
consin have received a generous sup
ply ofhandsome colored Autographed
posters from State Director j. H
Puelicher's Office in Milwaukee anC
arrangements are now being made
for distribution throughout the coun-
ties of these posters.
In connection with the general or
ganization and educational work.
State Director Puelicher is visiting
the various county seats as rapidly as
possible, explaining the nature oi
the work and instructing the county
committees.
Sale of the War Saving Stamps
throughout Wisconsin to date makes
a splendid showing in comparison
with other states, and it is evident
from the record made in the first
month of the campaign that Wiscon-
sin will be one of the first states in
the Union to complete it's quota.
State Publicity Director, Mortimer
|. Stevens of Milwaukee, being of
analytical term of mind, has pre-
pared the following interesting
statistics:
Taking the total of $51, 900, 900
allotted for Wisconsin, which is based
on an average of $50 per head, it
means that 81, $50, coo worth of War
Savings Stamps must be sold each
month for the remainder of the CAM
paign. Further division shows that
$9SO,769 must be invested in War
Savings Stamps each week of the
campaign, which terminates January
l, 1919.
Each day of the year, including
Sundays and holidays, must produce
$139,715 through the sale of stamps
and using eight hours as the basis
for the working day $17, ,+64l worth
of stamps must be sold each hour;
$291 every minute or almost S5
every second throughout 1918. Ii
Wisconsin is to be returned among
tha leading states and it's quota
reached within approximately six
months, the above calculations must
be doubled.
Taking SALT as the average price
throughout the year for a SIS War
Stamp, it means that IL, 2,230,216 of
these SIS stamps will be purchased by
Wisconsin residents to make up the
$51 100000 for the state. Multi
tiplying the 19,230,215 by the 30
which represents theface value of the
stamps in January, 1928, it means
that Wisconsin citizens will hold
stamps representing an investment
of approximately Sol, ISL, ,OSO, or
net profit for the people of Wisconsin
will be represented in interest alone
amounting to $40, ,OS0.

Sets New Precedent by SanatOrium
BequeSt.

DequeSC.
That no one incident in Wis
consin's organized fight against
tuberculosis and allied prevent
able diseases has had a deeper
significance than the bequest OF
$4,000 left to the WinnebagO
County tuberculosis SanatOrium
by the will of the late Col. John
Hicks Of Oshkosh is the opinion
of leaders in the anti-tu ber-
culosis movement, according to
DR.. T. L. Harrington. Of Milwau-
kee, president of the wisconsin
Anti -Tuberculosis Association.
"The bequest is an epoch
making one in Wisconsin and it
is especially fitting and crafty
ing that it should have been
made by newspaper man, an
honored representative Of pro-
fessiOn to which the success Of
the public health educational
cam paIgn is so largely due, "
said Dir. Harrington, com ment-
ing. on the gift. Great as will
be the immediate good done
through strengthening the
} Winnebago County Institution.
the bequest has far greater
value. BY leaving SO large a
share Of his modest fortune to
this definite work for the relief
of suffering and the protection
of humanity, Col. Hicks has
pointed out to other men of
wealth field Of service for the
money which they leave behind
them, that up to this time has
been practically unrecognized.
To the thinking man it is field
which must make strong appeal
for in no way can a man serve
his posterity so well as by help
ing to make the world a safer,
healthier place to live in.
] 1T is gratifying. l repeat,
that it should have been q news
paper man to thus point the way.
From the very first of the anti
tuberculosis movement, the
news papers have recognized it's
Give and humanitarian impOr-
tance and they have been among
the foremost leaders in the
health educational campaign. In
fact, to the newspapers of Wis
consin belongs the credit of de-
monstrating to the nation at
large how extensive factor the
pu blic press could be in spread
ing the doctrine of public health
the blicfty which they gave so
freely in the pioneer days OF
the anti.tu berculosis movement
attracting national attention and
Investigation. Since that time
health talks and health news
have become regular newspaper
features.
.sAnd now out of all Of the
worthy objects which must
com mend themselves to the man
as closely in touch with life as a
newspaper man must be, the
an nti.tuberculosis campaign has
been singled out by Col. Hicks
as the one whose work is still to
feel his Influence and his help
fulneSs many, many years after
his death. Coming as a free ex-
preston and without the in
fuence of a precedent. it is a
powerful endorsement of the
educational work that has been
done III the Wisconsin Anti

Body Found in Rear Room at Office
by Olaf NJ. Olson
Worry Over Rapidly Failing EyeSight
Given as Cause for Tragic
Death.

There was keen regret and
~orrow expressed by everyone
upon learning of the tragic
death of our old friend and
townsman William Olson, whose
lifeIess body was discovered
early Monday morning by Olof
M. Olson in the rear room OF Mr..
Olson's office.
That death had been self inf1ict
ed was evidenced by a 30-30 rifle
which lay at the deceased's feet
and the wound told the tale of
what had transpired.
The reason will perhaps always
remain a mystery for no note or
writing of any kind was left
that would indicate the reason,
but friends who have known Mr..
Olson best are inclined to the
opinion that it was worry over
his rapidly failing eyesight
which lead to the act. Some time
ago Mr.. Olson suffered an injury
to one of his eyes while looking
over land west of the city. This
caused cataract to form on the
eye and some time ago Mr.. Olson
lost sight Of the optic and it was
said that the sight of his other
eye was also affected. This
caused Mr.. Olson considerable
worry and anxiety and it is.
feared that this preyed upong IS
mind to such an extent to cause
him to do away with himself.
William Olson was born at
Oshkosh, Wis, December 10th.
1877 and was 81 years of age at
the time of death. In 1887 Mr..
Olson's family moved to Polk
county where they resided for
some years, Mr.. Olson coming to
this city in 1884 where he has
since resided. In 1889 he en-
gagged in the draying business
and he later branched out in the
retail lumber and real estate
business.
During his business career he
was identified with every move
ment that tended to the building
and upgrowth of the city. He
was one of the city's most loyal
boosters and no man worked
harder for the city's welfare.
BILLY" Olson, as he was best
known, was one of those good,
big hearted fellows who was
always leader in every worthy
project. There was no extent
to which he would go to help
out a friend or cause when he
thought it needed his help. He
was friend of every man.
When a friend or a neighbor
was in trouble or in need they
had but to call on BILLY" Olson
and help was always forth
coming, willingly and without
hope of reward.
BILLY" Olson was loyal
through and through. Since the
declaration of war by the United
States he has given willingly of
his funds and time to aid the
cause of the United States. One
son Leslie M. is now in the SER
vice of the United States.
He was worthy citizen and
an excellent neighbor. His death
has caused great grief to his
family and sorrow to his hum
dreds of friends. His place is
one that is not easily filled in a
community.
Besides a wife he leaves three
sons and three daughters Elmer,
Leslie, Florence, Marion, William
and Betty and two step-children,
and four sisters and a brother as
follows: Mrs. Thos. Nevers,
Grinell, Iowa; Mrs. Fred Neff,
Clarkson, WASH; Mrs. G. 3

resolved itself into a publicity gather

The members OF the State committee
advanced their views on the way the
campaign should be conducted and the
general opinion was that, while the
Republicans did not wish to, and would
not cOuntenance criticism that would
interfere with the conduct OF the war
by the administration, there was previ-
lent the idea that a stirring and ag-
gressive campaign be carried on.

State needed a waking up 10 a lot OF
