Little flag in the window there,
Hung with a tear and womans PRAYER
Child of Old Glory, born with a star
0 what wonderful flag you are!
Blue is your start in its field of white,
Dipped in the red which was born to fight
Born of the blood forebears shed
To raise your mother the flag o'erhead
And now you have come in this frenzed day
TO speak from a window, to speak and say:
Il am the voice of soldier son,
Gone to be gone till the vctorys won
II am the flag of service, Sir,
The flag of his MOTHER speak for her
Who stands by my window and waits and fears
But hides from others her unwept tears"
Little flag in the window there,
Hung with tear and womans prayer:
Child OF Old Glory, born with star
what wonderful flag you are!

WANTS TO KNOW THE REASON
WHY

Under date Of January 21, Ernest G..
Fielder of this city addressed the fol-
lowing letter to the Controller Of the
Currency, Washington, D. c.:
Dear Sir: On October II, 1909, the
First National Bank of this city failed.
I represent large number of persons,
who lost their money in this bank fail
ure Some of my clients are poor wild
ows, who need this money badly.
More than eight years have elapsed
since the bank closed it's doors. My
clients would like to know why they do
not receive additional dividends. Why
has no report been made to the cred
itors? How much Of the depositors'
money has been paid to lawyers? Why
does it require more than eight years to
settle the affairs Of a small country
bank? How much of the Allen estate
has been paid out in court costs and
lawyers fees through the Bankruptcy
Court at Madison? What has become
of Christopher l.. Williams, who was
appointed receiver of the bank? Is he
still receiver, or is he still dead?
On behalf Of the suffering creditors,
who have devoted more than eight
years to "watchful waiting mostly
waiting, 1 will thank you for reply.
Very truly yours,
ERNEST G.. FIEDLER.

RED CROSS NOTES

We have issued goodly number of
Red Cross Service Flags the past week,
but still every home is not adorned
with one. These flags are certificates
Of membership to December 1918, and
are only issued to those who have
Joined or renewed membership since
September 1918.
This is not the ruling Of this local
chapter but is so ordered from head
quarters at Washington.
The need of congresses is still very
urgent and will be as long as the war
lasts. The past week 710 of these COM
presses have been made at the Red
Cross rooms. This is much better than
the previous week, but we hope to
make 1000 this week. Come and help.
Just little Of your time is not too
much to give for your country's need.
The Red Cross has willing helpers
in the surrounding districts. Wald-
wick chapter since their organization
in November has sent to US the follow
ing: Nightingales 80, pajamas 9 prs.,
abdominal binders "a, bed jackets 81,
T binders 60, socks 80 prs. wristlets 6
prs, scarf /, helmet 2, sweater t.
The Ladies Aid at Willow Springs
since January 5, have made "a triangu-
lar sings and 9 surgical shirts. Many
of the ladies from this district are
knitting and have brought in their ar
ticles from time to time.
Pleasant View since December Is,
have made pairs pajamas, surgical
shirts and AZ triangular sings. They
also have sent in many knitted articles
before their organized work.
The Ladies Aid of Bethel have offered
their services to the Red Cross and

welcome Democrat sent here to me.
Kindly advise me before the expira-
tion of my subscription as don't wan.
to miss an issue of my home town
paper.
| will add just few words concern
ing the Marine Corps "Semper Fidelis ;"
We have excellent quarters and excel
lent food here and plenty of it. There
isn't marine on this island who can
offer just complaint.
Uncle Sam surely treats her volunteer
services, the marines and the navy, fine
and 1 am very glad and proud to serve
as a marine in this terrible but just
war.
We have many good amusements here
to keep we fellows from getting melan-
choly Or stale, as we term it. The Y.
M. G. A. is a great help, an indispensa-
BILE factor linking and keeping the boys
in service in touch with their homes and
those near and dear to them.
Sincerely hoping to receive my paper
regularly and that may hear from you
personally, remain,
Very truly yours;

CONTROL OF FOOD
The Situation in Regard to Flour
and Sugar

The Democrat has received. under
date of Jan. 10, from Mangus Swenson,
federal food administrator for Wlscon-
sin, and John M Reese, federal food
administrator for Iowa county, bulle-
tin setting the following facts
The attention of the federal food
administrator for Wisconsin has been
called to the excessive sales Of flour and
sugar in certain localities of the state.
The sales of these foods should be limi-
ted in every case and conform to the
following rules:
For Town and City People
ONLY amounts of fl Om two to five
pounds of sugar and from one half to
one sack of -four should be sold to one
family at one time.
For Country People
Only amounts of from five to ten
pounds of sugar and from one to two
sacks of flour should be sold to one
family at one time.
The exact amount in each case for
each group to be determined by the
size of the family. Only in extreme
cases should the above rules be deviated
from.
Profits.
The food administrator will welcome
reports of merchants charging more
than ordinary pre- war profits on nec-
cessary foods.
Hoarding
The state food administrator should
be notified of cases of boarding quanti-
ties of food of any kind in excess OF
reasonable immediate needs. Such per-
sons will be dealt with accord
ing to law. Heavy penalties providing
for fine and Imprisonment will be en-
forced against persons violating these
rules. The law says:
"Any person who wilfully boards any
necessaries shall, upon conviction
therefor, be fined not to exceed five
thousand dollars or be imprisoned for
two years, or both"
The state food administration asks all
patriotic citizens to Loyalty cooperate
in this war program by buying spar
ingly of foods and saving wherever it is
possible to do so.
The Complete Program
for saving food going into effect today
under orders of Herbert Hoover, United
States food administrator, is as follows
Wheatless days every Monday and
every Wednesday and one wheatless
meal EVERY day;
Meatless day every Tuesday and one
meatless meal EVERY day;
Porkless day every Saturday. This
means that pork and all derivitives of
pork such as ham, bacon and lard
must not be used on Saturdays.
Save fats of all kinds in every pos
sible way and use sugar sparingly. Eat
plenty of vegetables, especially potatoes
Of which we have large surplus. We
ask all citizens of Wisconsin to assist
in having these rules rigidly observed.

n wrrs WAuRRsHA WIS.
State Historical Society
That the Sun ever snone upon,
It stands for Peace and Liberty
And the rights of everyone.
Uncle Sam has called our boys to arms
To protect our flag once more,
They have to cross th sea this time
And fight on distant shore.
Chorus
They are tenting tonight on new camp ground
In a land that is far from home,
And they'll saYe this World for God and Right
Before this war is done.
We're sorry our Brothers across the Sea
Should have made such sad mistake
AS to think the way to rule the World
Was by the sword to take.
Well try and show them the better way.
And this it is my Brother,
To heed the new commandment given
And learn to love each other.
Do you hear that cry, it's the Mother cry
AS they bid their sons go forth
To fight for Peace and Liberty
And the principles of Truth.
hear it now as they send them on.
Those boys that they gave birth,
But who can stand that angUished cry,
Oh God, what's the matter on earth.
God grant that we have peace again
And that wars shall cease forever,
Wen surely heed the new command
And learn to love each other.
And when this dreadful war shall cease,
By the hand We'll take each other
Together we'll go to the dove Of eace
And there ne'er shall be another.
We do not think Of our boys as dead
But marching on and on,
Though some of them sleep on that other camp
ground,
In the land beyond the Sun.
We do not think of them as dead
But living on and on,
For the princip es for which they died
Will live till Christ shall come.
Refrain:
No we do not think cf our boys as dead
But living on and on,
For they died to protect the stars and stripes
And the rights of every one.
