Won't You HELD Now?

Are you doing ALL you can for the
Red Cross? You've got the oppor-
tunity right here at home and it's
your patriotic duty Daily the need
for surgical dressings and knitted
goods is increasing. Hundreds of
thousands of cur men are taking up
arms against the Hun and they're
pouring into France in steady
stream. The women of Villas county
have done nobly since the chapters
have been organized but still greater
efforts must be made from now on to
keep up with the increased demands.
All women in town should help, if for
only an hour day. The Red Cross
needs you now as never before. Do
the surgical dressings and sewing at
the Red Cross rooms and do the knit
ting at home. Surely you can work a
little harder for such a mission Of
mercy. The men over there are ex-
pecting it of you and you wouldn't

Memorial Day in France.

With the American army in France,
May %. The American dead, sleeping
in the soil of France, will receive the
homage of the American army on Me-
mortal day. Many of those who have
given their lives for their country are
buried in graves over which shells and
bullets are flying, close to where they
fell. But wherever they are resting,
their comrades will pay tribute to
their memory.
Throughout all the zones in which
there are American soldiers plans have
been made for ceremonies, in which
the French will participate. At one
place is a row of mounds under which
lie Sons of New York. Men of the
same regiment will gather there to
replace the faded American flags with

Once again a Villas county son

Once again a Villas county son
has made the supreme sacrifice
given his life for the cause that
means freedom and liberty for a
peace loving world. Willow
Trapp of Arbor Vitae went oown
in the transport Moldavia with
1ifty-two other Americans, killed
by the explosion Of the torpedo
when it hit the ship. Struck
down by the assassins of the
deep without even a fighting
chance for his life, this brave
son of ours lies beneath the cold
waters of the Atlantic, sacri-
fee to the ruthless piracy on the
high seas. All honor to his
memory and sympathy to the
family circle broken by his cruel
death.

perfectly blameless when she

be horribly shocked with the
Dallas, Texas, grand jury that
freed Estelle Harvey, after she
had loved a u. S. soldier not
wisely but too well. and later,
destroyed the damaging testi-
mony that was given to the
world for lifelong criticism. The
latter crime never fails to bring
strong protest from the class of
correspondents to whom the
sight Of the Waukesha murder

speaking of a well known book, is
material enough for half col

PITHY POINTERS ABOUT FOOD

bItut VHv1A1tO SbUVOA 1--WE
The pro-German pessimist who says
the American people will not save
food for those who are fighting our
battles for us in France doesn't know
the American people nor In spirit be-
long to them. Food Stacker is his
proper name.
IL food conservation is not voluntary
now 1t will be involuntary by and by.
TheAfood must be had. There will be
no need Of rationing in this country II
the people will be rational.
All city, county, State and munic-
tpal institutions must make their pur-
chases according to the Wheat-substi-
tute regulations, possible exceptions
being made for hospitals, asylums,
and sanitariums on physicians re-
Quirement. Private schools, colleges.
and universities using three barrels Of
-four and meal month may have
baking licenses.
Skim milk makes excellent cottage
cheese and cottage cheese is an excel
lent food. It seems hard to believe, but
in protein value l pound of cottage
cheese equals IL pounds of sirloin
steak. On the basis of energy pound
of cottage cheese equals 871s ounces of
sirloin steak, and, of course, is far
cheaper. Try it.
What does the enemy care whether
food is sunk in the sea, or thrown into
the garbage can? 1t is all the same
to the Kaiser.
Last year every business man in
Uhrichsville, Ohio, adopted the plan
of closing his shop at noon every

Sugar sunk in the bottom OF a tea
cup or a coffee cup is the same as
