mems committee Of the county councils
of defense have been given the job of
administering "Children's Year" In
cities and towns, existing social agen-
cies will combine and subdivide work
in the interest Of the children. In rural
regions, success or failure in this war
work rests largely with the individual
parents. The children not only need
enough food, but the right kind, pre-
pared in the right way. They need
fresh air in the house as we'll as out
side. Keeping the water supply, the
milk supply and the school free from
contagion is often an individual rather
than community matter in the conn
try. Above ALL it is the individual
parents responsibility, if his children
do contract contagious disease, to make
it impossible for them to become CEN
tcrs for its further spread.

Fremont Calvert

Republican Journal: Our commun
ity was saddened last Thursday by the
news Of the death of Mr.. Fremont
Calvert Of the town of Willow Springs.
Just one week proceeding he had left
for Rochester, Minnesota, to consult
with the Mayo Brothers concerning his
health. He had been i'll for some time
and was gradually failing. But at
Rochester his condition was found to
be very grave and he died in the hospi-
tai there on Wednesday, May %. The
cause of his death was uremia.
Albert Fremont Calvert, youngest son
of the late Mr. and Mrs John Calvert,
was born in the town of Willow
Springs, Lafayette county, Wisconsin.
July s, 1854. He was married April g.,
1890 to Miss Lizzie Walker. To them

MUST SAVE II BABIES In IOWA
COUNTY
From the Extension Division Of the
University of Wisconsin.
n. E. DEARHoLr., M D., DIRECTOR

Uncle Sam has given Iowa County
another big job to add to the rest Of its
war work. Like that of the Red Cross,
this is task of mercy. Iowa County
is asked to save the lives of II children
under five years of age this year. Such
is the word which has come from the
u. S. Government to the people of
Iowa County.
Some time ago we called attention in
this column to the action of the Federal
Children's Bureau in naming the second
year of the war the "Children's Year"
and in urging that social welfare activ-
tiles center about the nations youngest
citizens. "What," the Children's Blu
reau has asked, "does it profit a nation
to gain the whole world and lose the
little children for whom it is fghting?"
Baby specialists hold that, through the
utilization of our present knowledge,
available but insufficiently employed,
one half Of the deaths among young
children can be prevented. "Let us
prevent at least one third Of them, -
says the Children's Bureau. This means
the saving of 100000 lives in the United
States, 2410 lives in Wisconsin, and II
in Iowa County. It would be glorious
thing to oversubscribe our quota as we
have done in all other campaigns.
Some people believe that rural Wis
consin has no infant welfare problem.
Death records give the lie to this optim-
istic delusion. Every Wisconsin coun
ty-this is said with full knowledge of
arguments advanced to the contrary
has it's infant mortality problem.
How to meet it differs, it is true, in
the country and in the city. The wo-

STATE OF WISCONSIN is NOW
SEVENTY YEARS OLD

The SEVENTEEN anniversary of the ad-
was passed on May 80, 1918. During
the three score years and ten that have
passed since Governor Nelson Dewey
took the oath of Office as the first chief
executive of the state, marvellous devel
opments have taken place. From a
population of less than quarter of a
million people who lived chiefly in the
southern and eastern sections of the
state, the number has grown to two and
half million. Every section of the
state is now inhabited.
In 184S there was not mile of rail
road track in the state. Today there
are over 1000 miles in operation. The
annual value of farm crops is more than
$3.50, 100000. The dairy industry, which
is the one leading business in Wiscon~
sin, was scarcely heard of in 1848
Today our state furnishes the nation
with one sixth Of all it's creamery but
ter and with more than half Of all it's
cheese. Over 100000 children are en-
rolled each year in the public and pri-
vate schools Of the state, and upwards
of $22, 100000 is expended annually for
the education of her citizens. A happy,
prosperous and contented people should
pay tribute to the pioneers who paved
the way for our states development.
