WISCONSIN MAKES
ANOTHER FINE RECORD

Wisconsin has again made another
splendid record in it's war work, ac-
cording to J. III. Puelicher, state direct
or of War Savings, who has just re-
turned from Washington, where he was
called with three other financiers to
discuss the war economy program of the
nation.
The department of public education
of Wisconsin under State Superintend-
education in the country to take Off
cial action towards war economy, as far
as he was able to learn, Director
Puelicher said. Supt. Cary recently
issued a pamphlet dealing with war
economy and urging cooperation with
the government in the War Savings
work. This pamphlet was addressed
to the educators of the state and was
part of the war economy movement
which Director Puelicher brought to
the attention Of the Treasury depart
ment officials while in Washington.
'"The committee of which / was
member was called together to recon-
mend to the government for future defil-
mite war economies said Director
Puelicher "It is apparent that the
war economy which should have i'm
pressed itself on the minds of all Amer
leans is not as yet definitely effective.
'The American people have begun to
learn the lesson of saving and of re-
leasing by their economy the goods and
service required by the government.
Yet they have still much to learn in
this direction and plans will soon be
perfected for making this economy a
part of the daily life Of the nation.
The plans which were tentatively
arrived at by the committee of which
Mr. Puelicher was a member will be
given to the treasury department in the
form of recommendations and are ex-
pected to be announced shortly.

GETS SECOND in
HAYWARD RACE
Ralph GOldsmith's Ford Makes
Good Time at Sawyer COun-
ty Fair Yesterday

Driven by A. E. Rohrer, Ralph Gold
smiths Ford roadster took second
money, $500, in the ''free-f -for-all"
automobile race at the Sawyer county
fair at Hayward yesterday. The auto
races were the best feature of the fair
and were fast for a half-mile dirt track
The Goldsmith car made the five miles
in seven minutes and seven seconds.
An eight-cylinder Cadillac roadster won
first money, while a Ford special
with sixteen valves and supposedly
equipped with everything to give it
speed was easily distanced and finally
dropped out. There were two other
auto races, one for Fords only and the
other for stock touring cars.
Exhibits at the fair were excellent in
all departments, but not up to the Rusk
county fair in many particulars, es-
pecially in variety and number. The
attendance seemed small
The free attractions were of very
high order There were no shows of
any kind on the ground and not sin
gle fakir stand, doll rack or other
sucker catcher in evidence.
There were plenty of refreshment
stands, but nothing on the grounds to
throw money away on without return.
