The saloon men in the outlying dis
tricts are now advised that the five
mile zone rule officially covers them.

the Federal officials for violating the
law.

Sheriff Hermann has started out to
collect delinquent income taxes. It is
to be hoped that he will lose no time
enforcing the law to the fullest extent,
even though this may mean the sale of
a lot of personal property. Men who
have paid their stipend to the state eS-
pect these other fellows to pay too.

IN ACCIDENT IN FRANCE.
Gen. Pershing Notifies Washington of
Accident-American Soldier
Killed in Action.

Washington, Jan. 23.-Seasoned by
hard work behind the lines, American
regulars now are believed to be TAX
ing their regular places in the front
line trenches and in the scouting
across mo Mans Land" which is the
only actual fighting now going on along
the western front. This was the in
depreciation which Washington army
officers placed on the brief dispatch
from General Pershing announcing
that another American soldier-Cor-
poral Walter Roberts of Hartline,
Wash, had made the supreme sacri-
flee for his country. Roberts was kill
ed in clash, presumably between pa
trolls, last Sunday. General Pershing,
in the briefest of a report on the sub
ject, simply announced that he had
been KILLED in action"
Two commissioned officers and a
private in Pershing's force were killed
in an aerial collision in France on Sun
day. Official report of this was re-
ceived at the war department from

GOOD TURNS BY SCOUTS.

Drafted men who had failed to re.
port were located by boy scouts in
Brooklyn.
Scouts in Woodmore, N. Y, raised
900 barrels of potatoes, which were
sold to the poorer class of the com.

SCOUT TO BE PRESIDENT

L welcome any movement which wifi
intensity young mans attachment to
his church and religion, says DR.. S. r.
Gordon of Tulsa, Okla.
The boy scout movement only brings
the boy in closer touch with the
church. The government now wants.
men to go to the front and fight. 1t
wants and needs good, clean, strong.
men.
AT the close of this awful world con-
nlct there will be greater need for
good men than now. When this war is
over, there will be confusion, dissatis-
faction, unrest, anarchy, high taxes,
high cost of living and demoraliza-
ton. Sorrow, mourning and distress
will prevail
Under such conditions the nation
VIII need strong, educated, religious
men as leaders. And the boy scout
movement is going to provide such
leaders. The boy scouts are prepar-
ing themselves. not to fight, not to.
shed blood, but to be wise leaders,
and to conduct the people out of the
wilderness of greed supremacy and
worldliness, into the Canaan of peace,
prosperity and happiness.
Some boy scout is going to be the
president of the United States. Some
scouts are going to be governors. Some.
VIII be senators and others will occu-
Ply high official positions of trust and
honor.
SO we want the boys TO stick to their
school and their church and thereby
Lit themselves to be men who will be
quallhed to rule wisely under the most
trying circumstances.

HITS 1000 BADGER PLANTS.
Effect of Closing Order Felt by 100000
Workers in the State.

Madison, Wis.-About two hundred
and thirty thousand Wisconsin work.
ers will be affected by Fuel Admins
traitor Garfields order, according to E.
e. White, secretary of the Wisconsin
industrial commission. 1t will hit
some 1000 plants in the state paying
wages of $10,400,000 for the thirteen
days included in the order.
Nearly $500 plants in Milwaukee,
with 125,000 employees, will be closed
during the prescribed period. One of
the regions that will be greatly at.
fected is the Fox river valley with
many factories. In Madison fourteen
large factories and a dozen small ones
will be affected, employing roughly
10000 hands, with a daily payroll of at
least $4,000. In Sheboygan the order
will affect 1872 industries and S,O56
workers.
Sixty-two hundred Beloit workmen
are affected by the edict. Several
shops have big stocks of fuel. The
Fairbanks-Morse company has been
furnishing 100 tons daily to workmen.
The order will force 5000 La Crosse
working men to be idle, according to
the estimate of the fuel administrator
there.
In Racine it is estimated that there
are $1,000 hands employed by the 212
factories coming under the order. The
county council of defense there hopes
to get permission for the factories
working on government orders to con.
tinue on them alone The Horlick
Matted Milk plant and the Wisconsin
condensery at Burlington are sup
posed to be in the excepted class.
In the Michigan copper country ap-
proXimately twenty mining companies
and 10000 employees in community Of
100000 people are affected. An effort
is being made to secure exemption for
the copper mining companies from the
order.

NEWsBoYs TAKE UP SCOUTING.

Newsboys of Houston, Tex, many of
whom are good scouts" already, are
going to align themselves with the Boy
Scouts of America.
Some Of them have been thinking of
the proposition for some time, and af-
ter the purposes, plans and benefits OF
the work of the boy scouts had been
outlined to them in detail by the
local scout executive & large number
of the boys enrolled for the work,
The newsbOys are enthusiastic over
the opportunity to enter it.
The scout officials expressed the
opinion that they have some excellent
material to work upon, especially after
they had seen the grit manifested by
the boys in number of boxing match
es and wrestling bouts, which were put
on for the entertainment of the guests.
