We are sending the flower of our
young manhood to fight for us, and
surely we will not send them. other

to do that we must conserve and
work.
1t is estimated that Indiana has $751;
900 women 81 and over. The April
registration starting on the annlvers-
ary of the Battle of Lexington, is to
include not only women of voting
age, but girls from 16 to p, which
means two armies of Indiana women
in line for service In the war where
women can be most useful.
1t is confidently believed that the
April drive will enroll more than 5oo.-
900 Hoosier women.
Other states many of them. already
have registered their women for war
service under the instructions OF the
Council of National Defense and the
President. 1t is expected that Ind

WASHINGTON, d. c., April o.
Soldiers now In training in American
camps will be fighting with General
Fochs interallied army on the west

Announcement of this plan OF speed

front overseas may be made on the
highest war department authority.
Under this new plan soldiers will be
brigaded With British and French

OF men first called out last fall.
Announcement OF this plan gives
partial answer to the question raised
over Lloyd Georges statement that the
Americans during the next few weeks
will give the Germans the surprise OF
their lives. 80
The other part of the answer will
be given by the American forces which
have been training In France and now
are being brigaded with the British
and French. Without being more eX-
plicit, officials said that the surprise
Lloyd George referred to was the
greatly increased part American troops
will take in resisting the German
drive and in the counter measures OF
the allies.
Officers Are Gratifled.
While war department officials were
reticent, satisfaction was expressed
with the results SO far achieved in
mingling United States units with
French and British commands. 1t was
made plain, however. that utilization
of the troops now in France is only the
beginning of Americas contribution to
the righting forces.

ceived regularly at the library; also
books and other literature telling the
work done by this organization. The
June magazine contains an article by
Ida M. Tarbell-"Cardinal Mercier an
undaunted soul" This and other arti-
cles make the magazine one which
every American should read.

tanning the general laws in force at the
close Of the session of the legislature Of
1917 is now at the library.
A war cyclopedia which is hand
book for ready reference on the great

pronunciation and meaning of many
terms brought into public notice by the
war. When in doubt as to pronuncia
ton come to the library.

THE BAKERS WORK IN WAR
TIMES

The necessary conservation of food in
war times makes the bakers work very
important and imposes upon him many
new burdens. All who are at all famil
lar with the situation which confronts
him will be very slow to find fault be-
cause he cannot turn out the same pro
ducts that he turned out when he had
an unlimited supply of the finest wheat
-four and all manner of shortening ma
terials. Albert Seibert of Mineral
Points Home Bakery recently gave a
representative of The Democrat an in
side view of running a bakery in war
times, with necessary reports of mater
ials purchased and used, and of pro-
ducts sold. But, this he did in no com
planning spirit; but rather with an ex-
pressed determination to meet the con-
dition fairly and render true service to
his patrons and strictly comply with
governmental regulations. His attitude

NURSES ASKED To REGISTER

A special effort is being made to Sc
cure the registration OF every retired
nurse in the state of Wisconsin. There
are women in every community who
are eligible for registration under the
law, but who, for one reason Or another,
have never availed themselves of the
privilege.
Today it is matter of patriotic duty
for each woman who is entitled to the
rank of registered nurse to make appli-
cation at once that she may do what she
can to fill the rapidly thinning ranks of
the profession.
It is necessary that application for
registration be made by June 1. The
time is short and women who are eligi-
BILE should lose no time in writing to
DIR. J. M. Dodd, secretary of the Wis
consin State Board of Medical Examin-
ers, Ashland, Wis, for the necessary
blanks.

To the Editor: Some of your readers
of last week entirely misunderstood the
call ITO the Women Of Mineral Point"
printed in your last issue. They thought
it a split or revolt in the ranks Of the
Red Cross in Mineral Point. That is a
grave error that should be rectifed.
There are no more loyal members Of
the Red Cross than many of these
women, who are determined that our
Mineral Point boys going "To the
Colors" shall be outftted as we'll by
Mineral Point women as were the many
who have already gone. Our Red
Gross has been obliged to lay down this
work and the women, including Red
Gross members, are taking it up.
There is absolutely no conflict. Some
people also thought that the meeting
was connected with that Of Trinity
Guild, which is also an entire mistake.
About twenty five women attended the
meeting of last week, but arrangements
were postponed until Monday, June 8,
at three o'clock at the Parish House,
whe it is hoped that many more will
be present. AS the boys include those
from outlying farms, the women from
outlying farms are expected to join in
this work, Fifteen comfort kits, at a
value of 1926 each, were given the boys
going to camp last Friday, Woolen
garments will be sent in September.

ENTERED INTO REST
Mrs Annie /, Grace

was born in this city, the youngest
daughter and child Of the late John and
Jane Penhallegon, on February 4, 1864,
and passed away in the early morning
of the 23d. of May, 1918, at the age of
"a years. months, and 10 days.
Her whole life has been spent in
Mineral Point and has been interviewer
with the best interests and activities of
her native city.
On the 10Th. Of June 1885, she was
united in marriage by Rev. Bond to
William Jones, whose life was termin
atea eight months afterward. Their
daughter Jennie, born a few months
after her fathers decease, was a source
of comfort to the young widow during
the period of conscious bereavement.
Mrs Jones marriage to Mr. John F
Grace took place when Jennie was
about five years old, but at the expira
tion Of about two years she was again
widow. Since that time mother and
daughter have lived together in the
truest domestic fellowship.
Her daughters marriage in Septem
ber 1915, and the birth of grandson g
few weeks ago brought into her life
new elements of enrichment and in.
spired within her fresh motives and in
spirations for her future.
Her sudden passing is the removal o1
valuable life and influence from oul
community.
She was a valued member Of th'
Congregational Church andits auxiliary
societies; also a member of the w. r
G. and the Eastern Star. Genial il
disposition, buoyant in spirit, ant
strong in social qualities, her presence
ever afforded an inspiration to goo(
fellowship.
Besides her beloved daughter an(
grandson, there remain of the immedi
ate family to mourn her removal On'
sister Miss Susan Penhallegon, an(
three brothers, James and Frederick O.
Chicago and William j. of this city.
The funeral was conducted by hel
pastor, Rev. w. j. c.. Bond, Saturday
morning. May 25. An escort of Eastern
Star members accompanied the remains
to the cemetery.
