COMMITTED TO MENDOZA.

Two insane persons were sent to
Mendoza hospital last week both be-
ing men. One was John Jentges OF
Potosi, aged 43 and married. Mr.
Jentges' condition is due to worry and
overwork. Melancholy and fear OF
being robbed are pronounced symp-
toms.
The other man sent away was Her
man Scheier Of CassvilIe, aged 80 and
single. Worry over the war and draft
are responsible for Mr.. Scheier's con
dition Both men were examined on
the 23rd.

BIRD MEN IN ACTION
BARNEY, SPIKE AND MACK WRITE
EDITOR OF LIFE AT KELLY
FIELD.-MANY AIRSHIPS.
Kelly Field, No. 1.

Sunday, b p. m.
Friend Al
Thought perhaps you would like to
know how we arrived down here.
You will remember we left Ian
caster March s, at 500 a. m. Arriv-
ing in Chicago we were taken to the
Union depot where a special train of
IA tourist Pullman sleepers awaited
us. Leo Mccormick met us at 1O:3O
p. M.
Left Chicago at 1870 p. M via the
Burlington and arrived at Kelly Field
Monday p. m. at 2:15.
This is very large camp, l won't
attempt to put an estimate on the
number of men here but they keep
coming at the rate of 1900 per day.
And believe me, AL, there are a lot
Of homesick boys among them. Every
state in the union is represented here.
A new bunch came in last night at /
o'clock while [ was on guard duty
Some were from New York City and
some from California so you can see
how mixed up we are.
Almost forgot to mention about
the Red Cross. On the way down the
ladies at Quincy, III. gave us apples
dIlu OIouS0S duQ posi- CdFuS. crowns
all along the line greeted us with yells
and flags. And we were not a bit
backward about giving the good old
Wisconsin yell. We sure made that
old Union depot at Kansas City ring
At one small place we stopped for
water about a. ~. One of the bunch
happened to see the fire bell close
to the track and he got out and ham
mered away. I never did see more
spectacular parade Of natives. Some
with and some without.
And Al, never knew there were sc
many airships i'll the country. We
can see about 100 airships and Is OF
20 balloons any time we want to take
the trouble to look up. We got used
to them the first day we were here
Four aviators have met death here
in six days. Two machines ran into
each other 600 feet up. Rather risky
I would say.
Well, Al, it is getting dark and ]
can hardly see to write.
Your friend,

available Saturday with the following
result:
Berger, the Socialist, drew 4G votes

SIGNS O. THE TIMES
COUNTY HIGHWAY COMMISSIONER
MUST PLACE MANY WARNINGS
THIS SUMMER. OTHER NOTES.

Co. Highway Commissioner Mink
must place a number of signs this
summer and is now making his plans
to do so. One big job is the erection
Of railroad crossing sign on every
crossing in Grant county. The roads
furnish handsome metal disc "a in
ches across with the letter "R" five
inches high on it. The field is white
with black letter. These signs are to
be installed on posts by the county
not less than 300 or more than SOC
feet from railroad crossing The
North Western has 50 crossings and
the @. and Milwaukee fifteen cross
ings each. These are exclusive OF
incorporated municipalities.
Another sign job is that on the trunk
lines. The trunk line system will
bear a sign each mile or more than
100 in the county. They will desig-
nate the section and the man in
charge. The county intersections will
also bear sign giving the name OF
the commissioner in charge of that
county. The whole idea is one OF
placing the responsibility for good
maintenance on those directly in
charge. The traveller will know whom
to blame for bad roads and can tell
about it.
Mr.. Mink expects to start the asy-
lum road improvement in about two
weeks with good prospects Of com
pletion before hot weather.
Another piece Of work directly il
sight is rock crushing and macadam
between Hazel Green and Cuba City.
A road school will be held at the
court house one evening this week
for the instruction of road foremen
and patrolmen.
The Ellenboro improvement is still
held in allegiance by the government
No telling when it will be commenced

The Fourth of July has been the oc-
casion of universal celebration on the
part of our citizens and should continue
to so remain In the years past a great
part of the activities in commemorative
this date have consisted in the expendi-

the production of these articles and the

all. the many dollars expended by oul
citizens in the purchase of these items
of celebration are needed at this time to
help our government win the sacred pro-

Let us this year celebrate the Fourth

In the enumeration of the organiza-
lions represented in the Liberty Day
procession, as published last week,
this paper unintentionally overlooked
the Rebekahs. A large number of the
members of that order were in line,
materially adding to the appearance
of the procession and displaying the
well known loyalty of the organiza-
ton.
1t is against the rules of the service
for soldiers to give out any informa-
ton as to their whereabouts in France,
but one of the boys from here got past
that information by stating that the
division to which he is attached was
about as far from the fighting line os
the distance crow would fly be-
tween Oroville and the town where
he won a prize in declamatory con-
test" AS the place where the prize
was won is Brewster the statement
indicated that the boys were about 20
miles from the big shove. However,
that letter was written April 4. The
information is of no value to the
enemy as the American unit to which
the writer is attached is now in the
midst of the fray on the French front.
1t is unpleasant to know that the
northwestern lads are in the danger
zone, but they went across with that
object in view, and Judging from the
tone of the letters received from them
they are eager to get into action
