Campaign for Renomnia- ton and Reelection of Delegate Is
 Now On.
PEOPLE ARE IN LINE
Citizens Regard Re-eIec- ton of SuIzer NeCes- sary Step in Sav-
 ing Alaska.

The Sulzer Club will make an ac tive campaign for the renomination and reelection of Charles A. Sulzer as Delegate to Congress. James Me ClOskey, as chairman of the execu tive committee, will have direct charge of the details of the campaign in this city. Joseph A. Snow is secretary of the executive commit. tee, and will devote his whole time to the campaign until the votes are counted on April 30th.
 The Sulzer Club of Juneau will not only make campaign here, but it will cooperate with similar or ganizations throughout Alaska
 The enthusiasm with which the people of Juneau are going into the work of re-electing Delegate Sulzer has been the talk of the town for the last several days. The committee feels greatly encouraged Said a member today:
 ''The people of this city in all the walks of life seem to feel that only through the renomination and re-elec- tion of MT. Sulzer can Alaska save herself from entering another long period of retrogression; another per iod when the chief occupation of peo- ple will be that of hating their neighbors; another period of mud slinging and wrangling between fac, tions; another period of fighting over the personnel of the official roster; another period when Alaskan devel- opment will not get attention"

MISSELLEN
MlNNEHAN
SPEAKER

It was with pleasure that the wo-
men Of Grand Rapids met to listen to
Miss Ellen Minnehan the past week on
the subject of prohibition. Miss Min
nehan is no stranger in our midst, as
at one time she was teacher in the
public schools of this city and has
many relatives and friends here and
is frequent visitor in Grand Rapids.
Miss Minnehan is now a speaker on
the subject of Prohibition and an or
ganizer of women along this line of
work. She arrived in the city Satur-
day morning from Marshfeld in ans
wer to long distance call and spoke
to a number Of women of this city in
the afternoon and was also a speaker
at the Community service at the Con-
gregational church on Sunday evening.
The meeting on Saturday afternoon
was preparatory one for a general
mass meeting of women held on Tues
day afternoon of this week.

10000
nurses
NEEDED

Nurses, more nurses and still more
nursesl is the call from the American
army in France.
Surgeon-General Gorgas is urging
young women to begin the training
courses to fit them for service at the
front, or at least to take the places of
nurses who go to the front, where
10000 will be needed.
'The need for nurses will not end
with the declaration Of peace" his de-
partment points out. Therefore those
who begin the course of training are
assured of employment in the future
as we'll as doing a patriotic service
now. The number of new students in
the schools throughout the country
should be limited only by their facili-
ties to teach and the clinical facilities
of the hospitals"
In this connection it is recalled that
Surgeon-General Gorgas had an ex-
perience with nurses when he was in
charge of sanitation in the Panama
Canal Zone that may be duplicated in
France. 1t was found extremely di-
fficult to keep nurses in Panama be-
cause the American men there mar
ried them almost as fast as they came!
'The epidemic of matrimony" as it
was called in Panama is likely to
break out in France However, both
nurses and soldiers are over there
strictly on business with the Kaiser
and even if romances bud they will
not flower until peace is declared
Students are at no expense for tut
ton, board, laundry, lodging, uniforms
etc, and information about where to
enroll for the training courses may be
obtained from any Red Cross Chapter.

without thawing and freezing, it has
been ideal for winter grains and tame
grass seeding.

One bushel Of corn sells for $1.85. If
the consumer buys it back in the form

PROVIDE
NOW FOR NEXT
Winters WOOD
TO COUNTY FUEL ADMINISTRA
TORS:

Gentlemen:-Coa is scarce and get
ting scarcer. Wisconsin this year has
suffered but little for the lack of coal
but we know of the intense suffering
that has occurred in other sections of
the country by reason of lack of fuel
Wisconsin has been furnished this
year with good supply of coal. When
the distribution is made Of the coal
output for the year 1918 we cannot
tell now what Wisconsin's share will
be. Next year we may be suffering in
common with other sections of the
country Now to safeguard our peo-
pie and prevent any possible suffer-
ing next year for lack of fuel let US
get busy today and tomorrow and be-
gin the campaign of cutting fuel wood
with which our state is so abundantly
supplied. Now | wish you would,
within the next day or two-at the
earliest practicable date-call into
conference, besides your advisory com
mittee representatives of your county
press, every coal dealer, every county
officer, every representative of the
Council Of Defense, and all kindred
war organizations, the Red Cross, the
Y. NJ. c. A, the County Agricultural
Agent, the Conservation Commission
warden or ranger, and the Knights of
Columbus, and map out a plan of i'm
mediate action for the cutting of a
liberal supply of fuel wood by the men
Of your county. The time to cut wood
is right now. It must all be cut be-
fore April LIST. The time to season it
is next summer. The time to burn it
is next winter. If you have a good
supply Of wood next winter you may
rest very comfortably even though the
supply Of coal is curtailed. The Gov
eminent may need all coal for it's own
use, that is, to bunker the ships to car
ry our boys across the water, and for
other ramifications of it's work-can-
tonments, war industries, etc. There
is no excuse in people shivering for
lack of fuel in regions where there is
an abundance of wood So get busy
on this proposition. We want to drive
home as hard as we can the necessity
Of getting quick action on this fuel
wood cutting proposition.
You will hear from US again regard
ing this proposition soon.
Yours truly,
W. N. FITZGERALD,
Fuel Administrator.

From Marshfeld Herald:
Adam Paulus visited his old home
at Chiffon this week and was present
at his mothers 85th birthday anniver-
sary.
Carlton Clinton of Harrington, Wy
oming, while at Stevens Point last
week, purchased forty cars of potatoes
which he will use for seed next season.
He is said to be the largest potato
grower in the United States. Last
season he raised and sold $500 car
loads. He never uses his own seed for
planting.
The Big Frost Proof Silo placed two
years ago on the Joe Goldbach lot on
South Central Avenue, for an office and
for advertising purposes, was taken
down the past week and hauled into
the country where it will be used for
the purpose for which it was built
Mr.. w. H. Ludwig of this city is the
designer and salesman for this partic-
ular kind of silo. In taking it down
it was pretty badly smashed.
Carl Albert Fenske, a former resi-
dent of this city and while here en-
ployed as clerk in the Louis Laemle
store, was found guilty in Chicago last
week of failure to register under the
elective service law and was sentenced
to one year in the house of correction.
His parents reside at Rhinelander. 1t
transpired at the trial that the mother
of the young man had, under the plea
that an error had been made, induced
the pastor of the German Lutheran
church at Rhinelander to change the
date of the young mans baptism from
1886 to 1885.

"How'd you happen to go? You

The ABOVE question was put up to

road train the other day.
"No," he replied 81 didn't have to
go and l can't say l really want to.
| amt much on this killing bust
ness. But by George, the more 1
thought about it, the more I didn't
like to spend my whole life explain
ing why I didn't CO."
That fellow came very near ex-
pressing the attitude of both the
volunteers and the drafted men,
most of whom wouldn't be so greatly
pleased if they were relieved on the
ground Of physical defects.
There is a great satisfaction to an
active fellow in doing the things the
bunch are doing. A boy who went
to the war pictures the other day
said that just looking at them made
MIN want to be there. He hated to
be missing all the life of it, and was
sorry to be digging away at books in
a school with all this thrill and
excitement going on.
No live boy likes to have been at
home and abed the night fire broke
out and burned lot Of buildings.
He looks pretty sheepish next morn
ing when he has to come down and
confess he slept through it all.
Sc the men who run to this great
est Of all fires will have common
experience binding them together.
There will be no friendships like
those Of trench comrades. They
will be in class by themselves.

RAISE CHICKENS
SLAUGHTER
YOUR MEAT BILL

Every city man should have at least
a dozen chickens in his back yard.
Every farmer should raise between
100 and 200 birds.
These are the opinions of NJ. E. ST.
bolt who is in Wisconsin organizing
a poultry drive. Mr.. Sibolt points out
that this is the easiest and cheapest
way to meet the shortage in meat. Ev-
en- in the city a number of chickens
can be raised on the refuse from the
table, and in the country the price of
eggs and meat should make poultry
raising profitable industry.

Do not limit the plain food of grow

Do not eat between meals.
Watch out for the waste in the COM
