Thrift STAMP
SALE

The $1,000 pledges are proving very
popular as methods of subscribing for
War Savings Stamps during the
pledge drive being conducted in every
township, village and city thruout the
state. During June these 81, 900
pledges sell for only 1894 and are con
sidered as not only one Of the best
thrift investments, but as the most
logical method of aiding Uncle Sam.
In one Of the smaller cities of the
state, sixty were sold in one morning.
as telegraphed to J. E. Fitzgibbon,
Sales Manager Of the State for this
campaign. There has been, thruout
the campaign q splendid response from
wage earners and people of moderate
means, but the cooperation Of the
wealthy is essential to the end that
Wisconsin may continue its, splendid
record of 'Eover the top" achievements
IN this campaign, which is in many
respects the most vital Of any war
fund campaign yet conducted in the
state. Every man, woman and child
in the state must bear his full share
Of the burden to insure the carrying
out Of President Wilson's stirring ap-
peal for the War Savings campain.
Wisconsin viii as usual, carry out
her share of the work Of collecting
contributions to help in this world
war; said J. H. Puelicher, State Di-
rector Of War Savings, in speaking
of the campaign. ''There has already
been q splendid response to the Pres
dents appeal for aid in this difficult
time-those Of moderate means have
been doing their share during this
campaign, but now It is the time for
the wealthy people to make their sub
scriptions, and while no man or woman
is allowed to subscribe for more than
1000 apiece in the War Savings
Stamps, it is allowable for every
member Of a family to purchase or
own one Of the $1,000 limit certifi-
Gates"
1T is urged on all subscribers that
they do not fail to register their pledge
cards at the school house meetings
on June 28th, or else give their rea-
sons for not doing SO. This feature of
the. campaign is of vital Importance
and the fact that the registration lists
viii constitute a permanent roster of
Wisconsin's patriots who are helping
in practical way to win the war,
is expected to prove a potent factor
IN insuring full registration Of lib
eral subscriptions.

Senator WiIcox's Candidacy

From Milwaukee Journal
The friends of State Senator Row
P Wilcox cast his hat into the big
ring yesterday as a candidate for the
Republican nomination for governor.
OF MIR. Wilcox it can truthfullv be
said that he is one of the ablest men
who have served in the state legislat-
IRE during number of years. Nobody
has seriously criticized his record or
any part Of it. Of him it may be
said, moreover, that instead of trying
at any time to conceal his American
ism, he never hesitated to declare it
IN clear, unequiyocal terms. In his
public speeches, too, he has shown
courage and understanding. In the
prime of life he possesses very pleas
ing personality and has many friends.
He is an eloquent and forceful speak
er and can be depended upon to give
2 good account of himself in a cam
paign. It is safe to predict that Sena-
tor Wilcox will receive a great deal
Of attention from this time on.

SMALLPOX

1t appears that there are many of
cases of smallpox in the city of
Grand Rapids. While it is true that
most of those who have had the disease
with a few exceptions, have had it
very lightly, some of the cases have
been very severe. Where the patients
have it light is where the disease is
spread unknowingly, because they
circulate among their friends not know
ing they are afflicted with smallpox.
We understand the Health department
is insisting upon vaccination and are
making the rules of quarantine very
strict. This action will be absolutely
necessary if they desire to check the
spreading Of the disease.
