A Day of Sport

Another large crowd gathered
on the lake shore last Sunday
afternoon to watch the skiiers
performing on the new slide
which has been erected on the
lake shore. Some Of the skiiers
have made great progress since
the slide was formally opened a
week ago and there we're less
falls among the better skiiers.
Some of the ameteurs piled up
in the snow on their first at.
tempts to descend the slide.
On account of the cold weather
and the accumulation Of the fine
snow no record jumps were
made last Sunday afternoon, but
with milder weather some long
jumps are expected.
The slide is only 40 feet high
but with this slide jumps of
seventy-hve feet have been
made. There is great enthusl.
asm in the sport and many per-
sons are trying out the sport
for the first time this winter. !,

Next Sunday, February 3, will be
the opening day of the great War
Savings Campaign in the state of Wis
consin and which will continue with
out interruption, to aSturday evening,
February 10.
1t is the object of those in charge
of this campaign to secure not less
than one million War Savers in the
State of Wisconsin during this week,
and in preparation for the great drive,
hundreds of business men have been
giving much of their time during the
past few weeks organizing their var
ious committee and teams of workers
Throughout the state the govern
ment Blue Post Card will be used.
This post card is issued by the Federal
Government at Washington ana
carries on one side of it promise
or pledge to purchase certain num-
ber of Thrift or War Savings Stamps
during the course of the year. This
card is addressed to the local post
master and as it bears the government
franking privilege requires no postage.
AS fast as the postmaster receives
these cards they will be tabulated ana
the stamps requested will be delivered.
to the individual signers of the Blue
Post Card" by their local mail carriers
who will make the collection at the
time he delivers the stamps.
The whole method is so simple
that there is little chance to misun-
derstand, and the County Committee
wishes to impress upon the public that
| the fact that these stamps do not re-
present donation but are a sound
business investment, yielding per
cent interest compounded quarterly.
The S. War Stamps are, in fact. a
Baby Bond and have the same Gecur-
ity back of them that lies behind the
Liberty Bonds. In other words, the
War Stamp is backed by all tie re-
sources of the United States.
1t is hoped that every man, woman
md child in this community will be
the owner of at least one War Stamp
before the end of week commencing
February 3.

More less Days Added by the United
States Administrator
Mondays and Wednesdays WheatIess and
Tuesdays are Meatless. Must
Observe Rule.

The ration system for Ameri-
can people began last Monday
morning following an order is-
sued by the United States Food
Administrator Hoover. The re-
duced rations are asked for the
purpose of creating a larger eX-
port surplus of food for the
European Allies. Curtailment
of consumption will be accom-
plished largely by voluntary
effort, but force will he employ
ed wherever permitted under
the food control act.
The chief features of the new
regulations are:
Two wheatless days a week.
Monday and Wednesday. with
one wheatless meal a day.
Two porkless days a week
Tuesday and Saturday.
Flour will be sold through the
regular channels and in such a
manner that each community
will receive it's equivalent. Sale
by retailers to householders will
consist of an equal amount of
substitute fours for every pound
of wheat flour purchased. Sales
by millers to wholesalers and by
wholesalers to retailers will only
be 70 per cent of the amount
sold last year.
Millers are required to produce
one barrel of flour from 264
pounds of wheat which repre-
sents a IA per cent flour.
These regulations are mild and
will not effect a hardship on
anyone to observe. 1t it our
patriotic duty to observe them
as far as possible and to do a
little better if we can.

The sword which Lieutenant
John Mckay, formerly of this
city, carried during the Spanish
American war, has been returned
to this city, and will be placed in

That Amount Asked from WaShburn
for War Camp Recreation Fund
Committee to Make Drive to Raise the
Amount. Cause a worthy
One.

The people of Washburn are
asked to donate $400 toward the
war camp Community Recreation
Fund and a committee consisting
of w. A. Robinson, Chairman,
Ike Berman, Selmer Haugen,
A. c.. MACPHERSON and Carl
Holman have been delegated the
duty of raising the amount.
Americas task in this war is
three fold-To win the war--to
win in the shortest possible time
and to sacrifice the minimum
number of lives.
To this end every available re
source is being organized to safe
guard her soldiers and sailors,
and to develop the highest pos
stble character of her fighting
men.
A soldier can be made or un-
made by the character of the
camp environment. To determine
the character Of the environment
of the camp communities, and
thus to conserve the vigor and
the spirit of the young manhood
of our country, which is to repre-
sent us on the battle fronts of
Europe, is the purpose of the
War-Camp Community Recrea-
ton fund.
This organization does not in
any manner overlap the work of
the Y. M. G. A. or the Knights
of Columbus. but forms a distinct
branch of service in connection
with these organizations by car
ing for the work, the social and
recreational rctivities in the
communities adjacent to the
training camps.
The United States has been
asked to raise a fund of S3, $780,
600 for this work and many of
the cities have oversubscribed
the amount. The amount asked
of the people of Washburn is
very small and should be raised
without difficulty. "
If you believe in safeguarding
the soldiers when outside of the
training camps, to make him
feel at home in every community
adjacent to the training camps,
providing him with healthful
recreation and clean entertain
ment, looking after his welfare,
send in your contributions to
Selmer Haugen, treasurer, be-
fore Feb. 18th, 1918.

The plane was travelling at a moderate speed at a height of about a thousand feet and the hum Of the motor could be easily dis tlngushed.
