Hurley Loses to Ashland .

That Carroll is all in" as a
pitcher was clearly demonstrated
i'll the game with Ashland on the
local diamond last Sunday. Ash
land opened up on him in the first
inning and before they were retired
had registered six ruus. Ter men
faced Carroll in the initial frame
The once famous spitball artist
could not come back" and in the
sixth he was derricked and Red
Erspamer was sent to the mound
to finish the game. While the Ash
landers did not stage a track meet
i'll every inning such as they did in
the first frame they scored almost
at will and when the last man was
out 10 was the total of runs chalked
up on their side of the board. But
Carroll 5 poor heaving alone was
not responsible for the easy walk
away, ragged support at times con
to the downfall. Two
hits and an error gave Hurley two
runs i'll the sixth frame, which
with the one Tailed in the third was
all the runs they made. Sorenson
for Ashland was at his best and
his good heaving was a big factor
in stopping the local ball tossers.

Conservation Commission intend
discussing not only the deer law
but will 30 over the game situation
i'll Wisconsin and such proposed
amendments to the present game
laws as seem advisable after the
various conferences with the sports
men throughout the state.
This is the first opportunity ever
afforded the Conservation Commis-
sion and the sportsmen of having
heart to heart talk upon these
questions which are SO generally
misunderstood, and much good
will certainly result if the sports
men will turn out and meet with
the commission in a friendly dis
cussion of these subjects. The
commission are in position to give
the sportsmen some valuable in
formation that will be of interest
to all who are interested in the
state's resources of fish and game
and the sportsmen should be able
to enlighten the commission upon
these subjects as viewed by the
sportsmen.
The commission is holding the
same sort of hearings in the thirty
one counties of the state that have
an open season for hunting deer,
which will undoubtedly result in
great benefit in stimulating the
sentiment for the proper Conserva-
tion of these resources.

Home for Our Boys in France.

Club Women of Wisconsin, To
you has been granted great privi-
lege. The privilege of establish
ing and furnishing an American
home for our boys i'll France. A
home where the boy on furlough
will be safe and happy in home
surroundings that are familiar, a
way in which you know your
money will be wisely invested, a
way recognized and approved by
the government and under its su-
pervision.
At first it was thought that these
homes would be provided by the
Club Women but that has grown to
seem selfish, when so many want
to have the wonderful opportunity
of helping to make our boys happy
and comfortable; so it has been de
cided to raise a quarter of a mil
lion dollars and let every one have
a chance to give, the club women
acting as a soliciting committee
and custodian of the fund.
Club Women CT Wisconsin, put
your hands to the wheel and let us
send Wisconsin way over the top,
give her one glowing star to her
credit won and maintained by the
women of Wisconsin. Wisconsin
women, we are loyal, let us prove
it beyond dispute. We are mothers,
let us send our home surroundings
across to "our boys. Mrs. W. d.

Honor day is the most important
happening" i'll the present War
Savings and Thrift campaign there
will be series of them, beginning
with the second Tuesday in August.
Because of the great American
drive, the first honor" day. which
will be August 13, will be known as
"Pershing" day, and will be OBJ
served not only in Wisconsin, but
in every state in the union.
On this day, the riouscampaign
county chairmen will. through
their organizations, see to the col
lection of outstanding pledges, in
crease them if possible, and gather
new pledges. 1t is expected that
this will materially increase the
pledges already taken out and in
this way also, add 10 the total
amount OF War Savings for Wis
consin.
The fact that twenty-four coun-
ties have already made their reports
as to the recent pledge campaign,
is speeding up other counties to
get in their reports and it is expect
ed that every county in the state will
eventually show at least a 100 pei
cent quota or more than that.
Just now the important thing is
Honor" day. 1t is urged that all
those who already have pledges
increase them if possible, and that
those who, for any reason, did not
sign up, will do so O.. that day.

HOW THE DRAFT
AFFECTS CANADIANS.
Some Facts Regarding the Recent
Agreement for the Drafting
of British Subjects.

Owing to the large number of
British subjects-Canadians mostly
i'm this locality, there is a con
siderable interest in the recent mill
tary draft agreement between the
United States and Great Britain,
whereby English or Canadian citi-
GEMS in this country may be drafted
into the army, the same being true
OF United States citizens in Canada
or England.
This law is now in effect, but
British subjects in this country have
sixty days in which to enlist in the
Canadian or English armies, before
being drafted. This simply allows
a Canadian to fight with the Cana
dian forces if he so desires. If he
does not enlist, he will be drafted
into the United States army, under
the draft laws OF this country. This
Same rule applies to United States
residents in Canada and Great
Britain.
This means that a Canadian in
this country will be treated as to
military service exactly as if he
were an American citizen. He will
be called between the ages of 81
and 81 aud will be entitled to the
same exemption privileges as to de
pendents, occupation, etc, as citi-
zen of this country. Americans in
the British empire will receive the

DIED OF WOUNDS
RECEIVED In ACTION
Corporal Edward L. Cossette First Iron
County Young Man to Die on
Battle Fields of France.

Edward l.. Cossette, whose parents
reside at Montreal, died in an
army hospital i'll France as a result
of wounds received in action. The
news of his death was made known
in message from Washington
which reached his parents last
Saturday evening. In the daily
papers of Monday his name was
listed in the Roll of Honor under
the heading Died of Wounds. "
Corporal Cossette is the first Iron
county young man to give his life
for his country on the battle fields
of France. He was a member of
the Ashland Machine Gun com
pany and left with that organiza-
ton last September. No details
are known as to the way i'll which
he received the wounds which end
ed his life, other than that he was
wounded while in action on July 5.
Corporal Cossette was "a years
old last January. He was born in
Ashland but when young in years
his parents removed to Pence,
where the young man was reared
A few years before the time of his
entering the service he took up his
residence at Ashland and was liv-
ing there at the time he enlisted
His parents later removed to Mon
tfeal and besides his parents the
young man leaves four sisters and
a brother.
The Young man was in the habit
of writing his parents regularly
and wrote his last letter on June
%, the letter reaching his folks on
Tuesday of this week.
Memorial services were held at
the Catholic church at Montreal
Tuesday forenoon, attended by
many friends of the relatives. Cor
poTal Cossette gave his life in the
great cause, and, while his death
has brought sorrow to his parents,
sisters and brother, there must
come to them in their hour of grief
that feeling of proudness which
can only be experienced by those
whose service flags have been en-
blazoned with stars of gold. His
death was a glorious one, and like
that of all those who depart this
life in the service of their country
will never be forgotten.

The main object of this treaty is

That sounds like a threat, Mr..

With that thrust, Miss Hazel Weir
turned to the rack where hung her hat
and coat.
Bush caught her by the shoulders be-
fore she took second step.
"Gray hairs and advancing age ~ he

For answer he caught her up close
to him, and there was no sign of de-
cadent force in the grip of his arms.
He kissed her; and Hazel, in blind
rage, freed one arm, and struck ut him
man fashion. her hand doubled into
small fist. BY the grace of chance,
the blow landed on his nose. There
was force enough behind 1t to draw
blood. He stood back and fumbled for
MS handkerchief. Something that
sounded like an oath escaped him.

called upon to shoulder part of Nelly
Morrison's work. and trife dubious
dictation Mr.. Bush was said to inflict
upon his stenographer now and then.
When she was seated, Bush took up
sheaf OF letters, and dictated replies.
Though rapid. his enunciation was per-
fectly clear. and Hazel found herself
getting his words with greater ease
than she expected.
THAT'S all. Miss Weir" he said,
when he reached the last letter. Bring
those in for verification and signature
as soon as you can get them DONE"
In the course Of time she completed
the letters and took them back. Bush
glanced over each. and appended his
signature.
That's all. Miss Weir" he said po-
litely. THANK you"
And Hazel went back to her ma
chine. wondering why she had been
requested to do those letters when
do than sit picking at her type faces
with toothpick.
She learned the significance of 1t the
next morning. however, when the Of
fee boy told her that she was wanted
by Mr.. Bush. This time when she en-

mall. He waved her to chair.
"Just a minute" he said.

''If you consider that my work will
be satisfactory" Miss Weir began.
II don't think there's any doubt on
that score. You have good record in

Thus her new duties began. There
was an air of quiet In the private of
