Big DAY AT LAKE
CHAUTAUQUA ASSEMBLY MAIN
TAINS RECORD OF GOING
OVER THE TOP.

Madison and Lake county people
have got the habit of going over the
top" in all of their undertakings and
the good record was not allowed to
slump at the Fourth of July sessions
of the chautauqua assembly yester-
day. Between 1000 and 5000 spent
the day at the lake. The receipts
from all sources amounted to 3d.
481.58. The gate receipts reached
the sum of 1888. This, of course,
previously sold, more than 500 of
which are in the hands of assembly
goers. AS an example of going
over the top" yesterday, the cash re-
ceipts of the day amounted to more
than $1,000 over the receipts of the
Fourth of July a year ago.
The special program of sports were
an attractive feature of the day and
furnished entertainment and enjoy
ment for the crowd at times when the
auditorium exercises were not in
progress. The lecture by DR.. Willetts
of Chicago university, at the audito-
rum in the afternoon attracted an
immense crowd and is referred to as
one of the many superior lectures
heard at the assembly during the
years of its existence. Throughout
the day the crowd was thoroughly en-
tertained and in the evening the pa
vilion was the place sought where
dancing was the amusement after
$50 o'clock. This place was attrac-
tive and the young people on the
ground took advantage of the oppor-
tunities offered for enjoyment.
The chautauqua officials today ex-
press themselves highly pleased with
the success of the assembly during
the first few days and there is every
throughout the session. Some of the
best things of the program are yet to
come, especially the lecture of Father
Jeane Baptiste De Vile Sunday. aft
ernoon at 3 o'clock. The title of this
lecture is Back from Belgium
words that Will at once attract the
eye and cause many people to con-
gregate at the auditorium to hear the
story. Father De Vile brought 1900
homeless Belgian women and chill
dren to America, and he graphically
tells his experience among the peo-
pie first to suffer the cruelties of the
Hun in the prevailing world war.

ARRIVED IN FRANCE
JACK STAHL MAKES QUICK TRIP
FROM MADISON TO
SOMEWHERE"

A postcard was received yesterday
by H. A. Stahl from his son, Jack,
dated Somewhere in France" June
%, which reads as follows, after
having been deleted by the military
censor:
II landed safely in France today.
Enjoyed the trip over very much. /
am in fine health. / suppose you
knew / had sailed when you did not
hear from me. Will write more
SOON"
The name of the vessel on which
he sailed, also the place of landing,
had been cut out of the postcard.
Jack left Madison May z for the
Great Lakes naval training station
where he remained about n month.
A postcard dated Buffalo, N. Y, June
10, was the last word heard from him
until the postcard which was receiv-
ed yesterday. From Madison to
France in six weeks is among the few
records of quick time so far report
ed. 1t is an indication that the
American boys are wanted at the
front and that the facilities for trans.
porting them to the other side are be.
ing rapidly increased by the military
authorities. In view of the fact thai
Jack is in the naval service it is more
than likely that he will make a mum.

WANTS REAL ACTION
WOULD RATHER BE IN THE
TRENCHES THAN In AN
OFFICE.

Pierre, July 5.-That censoring of
letters is even increasingly impor-
tant is indicated in letters received
this week from Fracne from Lieut..
Will G. Robinson, son of Doane Rob-
inson, of Pierre. Lieut.. Robinson
training in the trenches, to find him
self ordered to the states, but upon
his remonstrance to officials that he'd
rather do "16 hours OF and eight off
in the trenches than stand around in
the United States till the end of the
war shouting at rockies" he has
been given a new job since finishing
his instruction in the tank service,
and is now supply officer of the
American Light Tank center, and
writes:
II have had aonther office job
wished onto me. / would a lot rath-
er be with a line company, but in
this mans army l guess the best
thing is to do as ordered.
THE Lord only knows when we
will see any action. l hope the Gen.
sor will let that statement through.
At that, l guess the censor Is alright.
When | was up with the French they
told me the country was simply rot
ten with spies, and indiscriminate
letter writing might reveal a lot of
things, though if / told you all that
| know it would be a lot less than
you could read in the home papers.

velous army ever assembled. We

ates of Harvard, Yale and eve Hell

days and got a chance to see a lot OF
notable objects of antiquity; also
something of the late Mr.. Bonaparte's
taking ways. AS a collector he must
have been in his day."
Lieut.. Robinson went across in
January with the Fourth South Da-
kota, and after a time of being in the
headquarters staff, went to the tank
service training school, and then in
structed in service. He wrote of the
manipulation of a tank to the effect
1T is like riding around in a bathtuh
on roller skates, standing on your
head meanwhile looking through a
keyhole to steer ii over bitches and
fences, but away from insurmount-
able objects like houses, ETC."

Falls this morning, but will join his
family here tomorrow to remain yer
Sunday.
Surrounding towns where the
Fourth was observed report immense
crowds. Madison people who cele-
brated at Ruskin park state that au-
tomobiles were there by the thou
sands. Trainmen report successful
Red Cross celebrations at Howard
and at Pipestone, MINI.
DR.. r. r. Rewalt, of the state SOL
diers' home at Hot Springs, arrived
yesterday to remain for a time at the
home of his daughter, Mrs. Felix VII
dial, also visit his grandson, Eugene
Vidal, of West Point military acad-
envy, who is home on a furlough.
Fred Kundert and Ben Hurry, who
last Friday went to Camp Funston
with the Lake county selective draft
men, returned by an afternoon train,
having been rejected for service.
Twelve Lake county men failed to
pass the examination, but Fred could
not give their names. He states that
N65 of the Minnehaha contingent fail
ed to pass. Ben said it was reported
that Walter Angle was in the hospital
at the time he left the camp.
Secretary p. A. Johnson, of the ex-
emption board, has been busy with
routine work today, among other
things preparing to send notices to
the men whose names were drawn in
the selective draft Wednesday. An
order has been received from head
quarters that the 1918 registrants,
comprising the ~21-year-old boys, may
enlist as skilled workman, the board
to report such enlistments by the
18th of July. An order has also been
received to select five men from Lake
county to enter State college at
Brookings and three men to be sent
to the State university at Vermillion,
by the 18th of July.
Secretary Rowland, of the Mer-
chants association, who is keeping a
register of men wanting farm work
and farmers who desire to employ
help, states that the supply of men
more than equals the demand. There
is an average of six to eight men a
week registered without demand for
their services. A number of farmers
who want help in a week or 10 days
are registered. There is some COM
plant by farmers that wages which
range as high as $25 a week, is more
than. they can afford to pay. Mr.,
Rowland states that the indications
are hat the harvests will be complet-
ed in Oklahoma, Kansas and other
points south by the middle of this
month, when there will be a move
ment of workingmen north and help
will be plentiful.

woMAN's DEVOTION TO HOME.

Home duties to many women APP
pear more important than health.
No matter how i'll they feel, they drag
themselves through their daily tasks.
overdo and pay the penalty in head
aches, backache, dragging-down pains
and nervousness; they become irri-
table, and finally discover that some
form of femal complaint has fastened
itself upon them. When a woman
gets into this condition there is one
tried and tru remedy made from the
roots and herbs of the field, Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound,
which for more than 40 years has
continued its great work among
women in restoring health after
many other remedies have failed.

tied under the direction of the ad-
visory council of the United States.
Plans are already being made for the

SdUing Taught
In The Schools

The Evanston I'LL, schools have been
made a factor in winning the war,
and studies have been made more
interesting by adding to the
curriculum number Of conservation
problems that are given to the sixth,
seventh and eighth grades to solve.
This work OF conservation among the
Evanston schools was started by A..
N. Farmer, school superintendent,
who enlarged it by finally writing a
textbook on food problems. The
work was taken up and further
advanced by the Chicago education
committee OF the food conservation
committee, Council OF National De-
Tense, and now the mathematics
classes, instead OF having to solve the
usual uninterestinE problems Of the
relative speed Of two rivers, are now
given problems connected with the
war. Each child is thus made to
realize the importance OF conserva-
ton IL Germany is to be beaten. and
as the children naturally talk about
their lessons at home, occasionally
asking advice on various food prob
lens, the parents are reached and the
results are widespread.
The education committee has not
limited the good work to mathematics
classes, but by means Of posters,
players, etc, has aroused the
enthusiasm Of children in other
classes. The mathematics textbook
to which reference Is made above,
was compiley by Mr.. Farmer with the
OF JeJannetts Rankin
The collection Of easy problems
contained in the new textbook, Food
Problems. are along the line of the
recipes given out by the government
to encourage conservation. The book
has been highly recommended by a
number Of state food administrator, |
and some have even gone so far as to |
send letters to superintendent Of |
schools, urging that the new problems |
De introduced into school curFiculums.

for the Red Cross, is once more on
her way to France, this time to sup
ervise the work of the New York

regions of France. .a
1t is the plan of the society to re-
plant the orchards and gardens in
the vicinity Of Verdun, destroyed by
the German shell fire. Mrs. Forest, a
graduate of the University Of Mime
sofa Agricultural college, possesses
the added advantage of being familiar
with that section of France be-
cause Of the relief work which she
did there last summer.
Mrs. Simon Kruse, who is in
charge Of the salvage bureau for the
Minneapolis chapter Of the Red
Cross, has been appointed to take
charge OF salvage matters through
out the Northern Division.
Mrs. Kruse i'began her work for
the division on February 10. Her
success with the work for the Min
neapolis chapter led to her ap-
pointment to general supervision of
the work in the division.
