FARMERS OF MURRY
WILL BACK GOVERNMENT

Farmers in the vicinity of Murry
demonstrated that they are fully in
sympathy with the governments call
for increased food products and other
patriotic services when they gathered
at the schoolhouse last Friday evening,
at the calling of their teacher, Miss
Lillian Solberg. About the best pa
triotic program that has been present
ed i'm Rusk had been prepared by the
children of the school. County Agri-
cultural Agent Householder presented
the statistics which convinced all pres
ent that food shortage really exists
and that failure to produce maxi
mum crop this year would surely be
followed by hunger and suffering
throughout the world. Following the,
program, baskets were sold and the
sum Of $21.10 was realized. The meet
ing unanimously voted to turn over
this $21.10 to the county Red Cross.
Hats off to the farmers Of Murry--
they are doing their bit.

Campaign for $750,000 for War
Time Service is a Great
Success
WISCONSIN RAISES
$4,000 OVER QUOTA
Rusk County "GOes Over the Top"
With More Than Its Quota
as Usual

The campaign for $750,000 for war
time service on the part of the Luth
Grams i'm America is focusing attention
on the work which the National Luth-
eran Commission for Soldiers and
Sailors Welfare is doing.
The saying has been that Lutherans
move deliberately. All Lutheran rec
ords for quick action were broken by
the National Lutheran Commission
And men from other denominations
| confess frankly that the Lutherans in
this case have set mark for them
which it will be difficult for them to
equal.
At present there are 10000 Luth-
eran men with the c0lOrS. In many
sections of the country, Lutherans are
prepOnderant in the camps as religious
| censuses show. Camp Dodge it is.
claimed has over ten thousand Luth-
eran soldiers. 1t means that probably
so per cent of the young manhood of
Lutheran congregations left home to
go to camps, and that the men who
are to make the congregations of to-
morrow are today in the service of the
u. S. When these facts began to be-
come clear to Lutheran leaders, they
made provision at once to meet the sit
uatiOn in as big a way as the emer-
gency called for. The drive this week
| is the result.
Wisconsin's quota is $4,000, which
is already considerably oversubscribed
and it is thought the total contribution
of the Badger state will amount to at
least $125,O00 when all sections have
| reported.
1t is gratifying, too, to learn that
Rusk county's enthusiastically been
over-subscribed.
Committees in charge of this work
in this county are: !:
Ladysmith--A. ROckstad, A. HOvind,
VIM. johnson, Frederick SchiOtZ, Rev.
Baumbach, Misses Alice Johnson and
Nora Thompson.
