Bunch to Milwaukee Sun
day Evening

Fourteen more boys left Ladysmith
Sunday night with Recruiting Officer
L. I'll. Helmer for service in the navy.
When we say "boys' we speak advised

brave lads who want to fight for Uncle
Sam and left Sunday night are not
over 16 years of age, but they are man
ly looking fellows and with declara-
tions that they are eighteen who is go
ing to say the contrary? The navy
will give them all good training, any
way.
Most of the boys who left Sunday
were Ladysmith lads, although there
were two each from Ingram and Prem
tice, and one from Chicago. Follow
ing are the names:
Ladysmith-Fred Krcma, Louis Earl

making a visit at his home at Ashland.

previous, having been sent back to re-
cuperate from the effects of being badly
gassed in the battle of Chateau Thierry,
where Ed was fighting in the q. 5.
Marines His experiences in this bat
lie were described in a letter published
i'm the July 5 issue of the News-Budget.
Ed is still suffering from shell shock
and the effects of the gassing, but is
very reticent in talking about it. His

NO MORE CREDIT
ON FREIGHT
Fayoritism in This Particular
Will Be a Thing of the
Past Hereafter

The Director General of Railroads
has issued an order. putting the pay
ment of all transportation charges
upon a cash basis, and is especially
desirous that this shall result in as
little inconvenience as possible to the
public. Agent e. E. Carson states
that the rule will be interpreted in a
practical business way.
The enforcement of the cash rule
will require payment by the shipper
and consignee, for the most part,
without opportunity for the correction
of errors in the freight bill, but in all
cases where a mistake is obvious or
where it is plainly indicated upon the
face of the BILL the agent should make
the correction before eXacting pay
ment.
The Director General is also anxious
that the public shall understand that
the reason for the PRONUNCIATION OF this
order is to prevent discrimination be-
tween shippers and cOnSigneeS. The
extending of credit in the payment of
TRANSFORMATION charges to one person
while it is denied to another results in
a preference in favor of the person to
whom credit is given While repeated
attempts have been made in the past
to check this evil, competitive cOndi-
tions have rendered it impossible to do
so. At the present time many shippers
and consgnees, especially large ones,
enjoy with respect to many OF their
| freight bills credit not only of days
but of weeks and sometimes of months.
There seems to be no way of dealing
with this except to enforce the cash
| rule.
The Director General further has
| under consideration rules, which will
be promulgated in the near future,
touching upon the settlement of over
charges and claims for loss and dam
age which he believes will result in
the prompt and fair disposition of such
matters with a minimum of inconven-
| ience to the public.

AUTO ACCIDENTS
ARE INCREASING

Saturday evening apparently was a
hoodoo for automobiles in the city.
The ink started with the destruction
by fire of Fred Lentz' white rambler
about two miles below Cameron. Mr..
Lentz felt it getting hot under his
feet and but one look told him the car
was on fire. and it made a mighty hot
blaze before totally destroyed 1t was
insured for 5000.
About midnight Saturday a young
man named Stephenson was coming
toward Cameron at a high speed i'll a
Nillys-Knight car when he cOllided
with Il Ford driven by Mr.. Sandstrom.
4 wheel was torn off each car and
both badly jammed up, the Ford get
ting the worst of the deal, and Miss
Barta being thrown through the wind
shield. She is now under treatment at
the Barron hospital. We understand
a warrant will be issued for Stephen
son.
Friday noon Il farmer drove into the
train near Amery and his Ford was
smashed to smithereens. He and his
wife were fatally injured and were
taken to Amery by the train.
Sheriff J. II. Johnson went to Cam
er0n Tuesday and arrested George
Stephenson. who lives near Prairie
Lake with his foster parents, who
adopted him. Sheriff Johnson made
an investigation first, and being deter
mined to put an end to reckless driving
brought the young man before Justice
Radermacher i'll Barron where he
pleaded guilty and was fined $50 ano
costs or thirty days in Jail. The par
ents refusing to pay the fine, Stephen
son is now spending his time in the
county jail with time to think and re
pcnt 1t will be a lesson to others

Both 1917 and 1918 Classes To
Be- Exhausted Next
Month
100 MEN WILL GO
NEXT TUESDAY NIGHT
Rusk COunty's Largest Contingent Will
Go To Camp Grant,
Illinois

Draft calls in August on Rusk coun-
ty will not only exhaust all of the re-
naming men in class l of the 1917
registration, but probably all Of class
/ of the 1918 registrants. The exact
number to be called from this county
will not be known until next week at
the earliest, but it is practically GER
tain that every class l man in Rusk
county will be called next month. The
1918 registrants will all be notified to
appear for examination in few days.
Loren Trotter, of Conrath, and Oscar
Dahlquist, of Tony, left Sunday night
on the same train with the newly en-
listed navy boys, for Chicago, as
eighth grade volunteers for special
service. Four others in the same
classification, Arvid r. Smith and
Frank A. Mattison, all left the same
time for Valparaiso, Indiana.
Monday night, Rusk county's nine
teen second call for July" men left on
a special train made up here, for Col
umbus Barracks, Ohio. A large num-
Der of drafted men came down on No.
Is from the north and the east-bomd
train No. s, dropped off a couple Of
coaches full of men from counties west
of here. The special left here about
II 80 amid the cheers of the usual
large crowd and the strains of patri-
otic music by the band. Men of the
state guard company patrolled the
platform to prevent accidents. The
names of the nineteen were published
in our last issue The two alternates
were not required to go.
Nearly one hundred men will leave
Tuesday evening on a, special train, 30
of them for Camp Grant and five. for
Camp Greenleaf S. G. Their names
were also published in the last issue
of the News-Budget under the classi-
ficatiOn of third call for July. With
such large number going there will
doubtless be an enormous thrOng at
the station to see them off, probably
over thousand people, at the least
calculation. That they will be given
an enthusiastic send-off goes without
saying.
Peter Schneiders, of Tony, has vol
unteered for service as an auto me-
chanic and will leave soon.

SALES OF THRIFT
STAMPS INCREASING

There is no diminution in the sales
of War Savings and Thrift Stamps
since the close of the campaign for
pledges which closed on June 2Sth with
the registration of pledges in the
schOOlhouSes of the state. The fOrma-
tion of so many hundreds of War
Savings societies during the last cam
paign took so much of the time of the
workers that it was impossible for
them to negotiate the sale of stamps
at the same time and except for the
sales of War Savings and Thrift
Stamps in the schoolhOuses there were
comparatively few sold until after the
10th of July.
But now, everyone starting in to re-
deem their pledges and agreeing to
purchase their first stamps during the
month of July, the sales of stamps at
the various agencies and through the
thousands of societies, is proving to
Uncle Sam that the people of Wiscon-
sin are desirOus of doing their part in
sustaining the government at Wash
,ington and assisting in the purchase
of ammunition for the boys on the fir
ing line.
The number of War Savings sOcie-
ties, too, is increasing daily, while Wis
consin still keeps in the lead i'm the
matter of percentages of societies or
ganized. TO keep this lead by safe
majority, however, it is necessary that
there be no ''let-up' in the organization
of these societies and that all those
who have worked during the campaigns
keep their eyes to "leeward" to see that
no prospects for new societies escape
them

DEATH OF JOSEPH SCHWERZEL

Joseph SchWerZel, of COnrath, aged
53 years, months and 10 days, died
Monday evening at ST. Mary's hospital

Siderably and he was able to return
