"--
Young Men Leave For Camps to
Take Special Training in the
Army
(From Wednesdays daily.)

Exercises have been held for more
selectmen who are to axe training IN
various camps that German autocracy
may eventually be crushed.
After the young men had looked in
to E. B. Trimpey's camera, while
standing on the front steps OF the
courthouse, the program was given at
the north door Of the building. The
usual large crowd was present ana
the Baraboo Marine band played a.
number of airs. The exercises were
presided over by Mayor G. T. Thuerer,
who wished the boys God speed and a.
safe return to their homes after the
war is over. Prayer was offered by
Rev. J. E. Cooke, pastor of the Metho-
dist church at Reedsburg.
The Address - ------
The address was given bp Sup@rin-
tendent A. B. Olson of the Reedsburg
schools He said what he uttered
would soon be forgotten but the &C
ton Of the young selectmen before
him. in Joining the national army,
would live in history. During the pres
ent month 100000 will respond to
the call and they come from the hill
tops as we'll as from the valleys, the
spirit being in the familiar words, we
are coming, Uncle Samuel, 100000
stOng. (Applause.) He told the
young men they were individually
rivulets pouring into Europe to wash
away, possibly blow up, the autocrat-
ic power in the old world.
In discussing the educational sys-
TENS of Germany and America, he
said that in this country every child
has a through ticket, an equal chance,
to enjoy the free school system. In
Germany all children are divided into
two classes, eight per cent to be edu-
Gated to rule and ninety-two per cent
to be ruled The educational system
is much inferior to that of this cOun-
try. The pupils are not taught to
think.
A great deal has been said in this
country about there being shortage
of dyes but the kaiser is finding there
are three colors that will not run.
(Great applause.)
Once an American lady was wearing
the stars and stripes in the presence
of Teuton nobleman and he said it
made him sick.
"Why?"
Because it looks like a stick of
candy"
WELL" retorted the lady Don't
you ever try to lick it." daughter
and applause.)
In closing he said the soul of Ameri-
ca is that the individual may realize
the highest opportunity. He told the
young men they were not to fight
for a place in the sun but that there
may be more equitable distribution
of sunlight
