To Patriotic Citizens.

As food administrator for Wisconsin
appeal to you to help make a record for
compliance with the federal food law. The
boarding of -four, sugar and other neces.
sites must stop in Wisconsin. Our state
can lead all others in establishing 100
per cent record. This practice, through
thoughtlessness or ignorance of the law in
most cases, is prevalent throughout the
nation. We insist thu: Wisconsin shall
be one state where it is absolutely
abolished. If boarding is abolished all
over the nation it means:
We shall have abundant food in our
stores for every need of the people at
home
We shall have food in abundance for
our soldiers at the front.
We shall have food to spare for our
Allies.
Without these conditions we cannot
win the war.
We have no control over other states.
but we can insist that our own state does
its part. ask. therefore. the following as
the first steps in this campaign.
County Federal Food Administrators
should obtain at once an inventory of
sales OF -four and sugar for January, 1918.
From these lists county food admins
traitors Will secure the return to stores.

tory, commercial room, botany
room, class rooms. two large cloak
rooms, library room, Supt. Muir
phys Office, toilets and the audi
forum. Sheldon chemistry desks
have been placed in the chemistry
room, with acid proof tops, provid
ed with drawers sufficient to take
care of the working materials of
large class, also hot and cold water
and double gas jets. The chemistry
room is 23x34 feet in size. The
physics laboratory has three ply
sizes tables and provided with
equipment for "a students, includ-
ing glass covered cabinets, etc.
The commercial and botany rooms
have not been fully equipped yet
but are being rapidly provided
with desks, etc. Five typewriters
have been installed in the CONNER
cial room. A closet for the janitor
has also been provided on this
floor.
Two entrances lead from the
second floor into one of the best
features of the new high school
buiiding--a large auditorium. 1t
has an inclined floor, is 50x70 feet
in size with high ceiling, with a
stage 33x14 feet on the north side.
The auditorium is now provided
with 200 seats, with ample room
for increasing the number of seats.
I he seats are of the latest pattern,
adjustable three ways. The walls
and ceiling are of cream color, the
proscenium arch of the stage being
decorated with wreaths and flowers,
simple but effective, as are also the
ceiling beams. Two rooms which
are now being used as class rooms
but which may also be used for
dressing rooms, are located in the
rear of the stage. An exit to the
fire escape has been provided on
the east side of the stage. Provision
has also been made for installing a
cinematograph machine. This spa
cious auditorium fills a long-felt
want in the Hurley high school and
is one which is duly appreciated.
Other features in this fine school
building are fire alarm system,
whereby gong rings on the three
floors, an up-to-date ventilating
system, and a pleasing and late
type of artificial lighting fixtures.
A system of call bells has also been
installed, with a board in Supt.
Murphy's Office whereby he may
register call in every room in the
building. The Brasco lighting fix
lures are used, giving a soft, radi-
ating light which reaches every
part of the building. With the ex-
ceptiCn of the basement hardwood
floors have been laid throughout.
The stairs are constructed of con-
crete and steel with the steps sur
faced with terrazzo, the latter ma
terial and tile being used in the
shower bath rooms and toilets.
White duck curtains which roll at
the top or the bottom. making them
easily adjustable, have been pro-
vided III all the rooms. Hose for
fire protection has been installed on
every floor. The furnishings i'll the

by the teachers. with the exception
of the rug. which was donated by
R. Paul. A number of citizens have
donated oil paintings for the recep-
ton room. Fountains providing
drinking water have been installed
in several places in the building.

A food map of Europe today shows Tot single country in which the fu- ture does not hold threat of serious difficulties and only . small part which is not rapidly approaching the famine point. With the exception of the Ukraine only those countries which have maintained marine commerce have sufficient food supplies to meet actual needs until next harvest, and even in the Ukraine, with stores accu- mulated on the farms, there is famine in the large .centers of population.
 Belgium and northern France, as well as Serbia, appear on the hunger map distinct from the rest of Europe because they stand in different rela- tion from the other, nations to the peo- pie of the United States. America has for four years maintained the small war rations of Belgium and northern- France and is already making special efforts to care for their increased after-the-war needs, which, with those of Serbia, must be included in this plan, are urgent in the extreme and must have immediate relief

CHAPTER XVIII.
Staged Under Fire.

SAG9Cd oH0CT
 Three days after the incident just re lated our company was relieved from the front line and carried. We stayed in reserve billets for about two weeks when we received the welcome news that our division would go back of the line ito rest billets." We would re- main in these billets for at least two months, this in order to be restored to our full strength by drafts of recruits from Blighty.
 Everyone was happy and contented at these tidings; all you could hear around the billets was whistling and singing. The day after the receipt of the order we hiked for five days, mak- ing an average of about twelve kilos per day until we arrived at the small town of o.
 It took us about three days to get settled, and from then on our cushy time started. We would parade from S:45 in the morning until 12 noon. Then except for an occasional billet or brigade guard we were on our own. For the first four or five afternoons I spent my time in bringing up to date my neglected correspondence.
 Tommy loves to be amused, and be- ing Tank, they turned to me for something new in this line. I taught them how to pitch hOrseshOes, and this game made a great hit for about ten days. Then Tommy turned to Amer ica for a new diversion. I was up in the air until a happy thought came to me. Why not write a sketch and break Tommy in as an actor?
 One evening after flights out," when you are not supposed to talk, I impart- ed my scheme in whispers to the sec tion. They eagerly accepted the idea of forming a stock company and could hardly wait until the morning for further details.
 After parade, the next afternoon I was almost mobbed. Everyone in the section wanted a part in the proposed sketch. When informed them that it would take at least ten days of hard work to write the plot, they were bit terly disappointed. I immediately got busy, made a desk out of biscuit tins in the corner of the billet, and put up a sign 'Empey & Wallace Theatrical Co.," About twenty of the section, upon reading this sign, immediately applied for the position of office boy. I accepted the twenty applicants, and sent them on scouting parties through out the deserted French village. These parties were to search all the attics for discarded civilian clothes, and any thing that we could use in the props of our proposed company.
 About five that night they returned covered with grime and dust, but load ed down with miscellaneous assort- ment of everything under the sun. They must have thought that I was going to start a department store, judging from the different things they brought back from their pillage.
 After eight days constant writing I completed a two-act farce comedy which called "The Diamond Palace Saloon" Upon the suggestion of one of the boys in the section sent proof of the program to a printing house in London. Then I assigned the different parts and started rehearsing. David Belasco would have thrown up his

FOREST FIRES CAUSED
 SERIOUS DAMAGE

That Forest fires Tn the SOuBn west caused serious damage during the past year is indi- cated by statistics recently compiled by the Ditrist Forest CT dealing with the forest fire situation in Arizona and New Mexico during the past season. On the National Forests in these two states 795 fires occur ed, of which 647 were under 1O-acres. The fires covered a total area of 33,658 acres, Of which 3O,7O6 were timbered land. The damage amounted in Emoney value to the sum of $15, F579, and the total cost of fight ling fire was SIS, 400.
 Of the total number of fires. 4442 were started by lightning the balance were man caused fires. r. The conditions which existed on the Forests during the past season, according to the Dis Itrict Forester's statement, were very conductive to the start and rapid spread of fire on account of the drouth and it was only by vigilance on the part of the Forest Officers everywhere that the area and damage was kept to the comparatively low figures.
 Continued effort will be made by the Forest Service for ! the improvement of fire proven tion and suppression thru the betterment of telephonic com munication, improvment of \ trails, the purchase of more I fighting equipment, and. by 7ipublicity. Nearly half of the fires of last season were man- 1fcaused. and there is apparently a great duty incumbent on the luser of the Forests to see that
 responsibility for carelessly
 left fires is not laid at their
 doors.
