American Tourist Travel i'm
Canada.

American tourist travelling in
Canada during the summer will
be subjected to as few inconven-
ices becauses of war regulations
as may be possible with the en-
forcement of those regulations.
Senator G. D. Robertson. chair
man of the Canada Registration
Board, officially denounces as
without foundation reports cir
culated in Canada and in the
United States to the effect that
visitors to Canada from the
United States will be compelled
to register at post office before
being able to secure hotel accom-
modatlons or transportation. that
women visiting Canada will be
detained, and that Americans
travelling in Canada will REQUIRE
passports.
He says that neither in the
law, in the regulations for Cana
dian registration, nor in any in
structlons issued or contem-
plated, is there anything that
would indicate desire or inten-
ton 60 impose restrictions upon
Americans or allied or neutral
aliens entering. travelling in. or
leaving Canada.
The registration act applies
only to people permanently resi-
dent in Canada and does not eff
feet anyone living in the United
States. No registration at a post
office is necessary for Americans
and no passports are required.
On entering Canada, visitors
give assurance that their usual
place of residence is not Canada
and are supplied with identified
ton cards by the Canadian i'm
migration officials, which enable
them to travel freely where they
wish without any interference.

USE THRIFT STAMPS
FOR FAIR PREMIUMS

ISSUED by publicity department, Wo-
mans Committee Wisconsin State
Council of Defense
Thrift Stamps for premiums for war
time culinry exhibits are to be urged
as a patriotic measure for all man
ayers of county fairs to follow.
Instead of the usual mourning garb
American women who have lost mem
bers of their family in the service of
the country are asked to wear a three
inch black band on the left arm, with
a gold star for every such bereave-
ment. The recommendation comes
from the Woman's committee, Council
of National Defense and is endorsed
by the Wisconsin Woman's committee
which commends the spirit that at
this time prompts American women to
avoid the usual mourning dress. 'The
wearing Of such insignia as this SIM
pie black band, will, it is thought
express far better than the usual form
of mourning dress the feeling of Am
erican people that such losses are a
matter of glory rather than of pros
trating grief and depression" These
bands can be fashioned of any kind
Of material the wearer may desire.

life blood for them and saved them
though in His unsearchable wisdom He
would allow swift death upon the bat
tlefield or lingering illness to take
them from the land of the living they
suffer no harm. Oh, that He would in
His infinite mercy for Jesus sake grant
us the boon to soon see all our young
men here again in youthful strength
and vigor, hale and happy, and above
all true to their church and to their
Savior. In conclusion, beloved, permit
me to impress upon you the fact that
this is time when we should all bring
clearly and strongly to our minds our
duties to our country, and should cher
ish strong and ardent attachment to
the public good. This flag, reminding
us of our sons, brothers and husbands
gone forth to serve their country re-
minds us that we are to serve in our
spheres of action and according to our
means and abilities. Devoting oursel-
YES to our God, knowing His will and
law, let us consider that it is our duty
to seek the welfare of our country as
best we can. Our country needs our
help in raising money for the support
Of it's army and navy, and for the care
Of our wounded and sick soldiers. Let
us show our disinterested and benevo-
lent spirit by greater activity in the
work Of the Red Cross, and support
that organization to enable it to carry
out it's work of mercy and benevolence.
1t may be our boys at the front or in
the camps that receive the benefit of
our contributions. This service flag,
furthermore, is a constant reminder
to us that the practice of rigid econ
Omy Of the necessities of life is urgent,
for the men at the front must be pro-
vided for. l have thus briefly placed
before us our duties. God give us grace
to perform them. In these days of dam
ger, we know not what is before us,
but this we know that the Lord God
is for Jesus sake our reconciled
Father, and trusting in Him, we shall
find comfort and strength in all our
trials and Affections. God being with
us, we need fear no evil No one can
finally injure us if we be true to Him
and place implicit confidence in His
promising words. May we remain
steadfast in the faith that Jesus blood
cleanseth us from all sins and that
for His sake heaven is assuredly ours
and may then the times be as they
will, yea, may the world be passing
away, the Kingdom of heavenly peace
and rest sure remaineth. Let us not
then be elated or depressed, but with
firm and equal mind, acquit our
selves as a Christian people in our
several spheres, looking upward to
heaven as our eternal rest and home.
God grant it to us all for Jesus sake
Amen.

MUST MUZzLE DOGS
HEAVY fine IS PENALTY

Jefferson, Wis, June %, 1918.
The Watertown News, Watertown,
Wisconsin:
l have today received a letter from
c. P. Norgard, commissioner of the
Wisconsin Department of Agriculture,
demanding that proclamation of the
muzzling of dogs be observed by all
people in their county He reports
that many farmers have lost from six
hundred to one thousand dollars
worth of cattle from hydrophobia, and
that in Milwaukee in two months
time there were seventy-seven cases
of hydrophobia alone.
There is tendency on the part of
the people Of this county to treat this
law lightly, but because of the great
danger to property and life, the law
must be rigidly enforced
Upon receipt of this letter imme-
diately see that all dogs are properly
muzzled. Have your village marshal,
chief OF police or constable work with
you and report to me that every dog
is properly muzzled.
The penalty for violation of this
law is fine of not less than twenty
dollars nor more than two hundred
dollars or by Imprisonment in the
county Jail not less than thirty days
nor more than one year or by both
such fine and Imprisonment.
Report to me what you have done
and if any individual refuses to prop
erly muzzle his dog, report him to me
at once by telephone
Yours very truly,
Edward T. Hayhurst,
Sheriff of Jefferson County
Notices asking for the muzzling OF
all dogs have been sent to all the town
chairmen in the county, all the village
presidents, mayors of cities and ali
the newspapers in an effort to see that
the law is complied with.

of our business and professional men
