RED CROSS JULY Attn
Program Being Arranged for
Benefit of the Men In
Service. Join In.

Incomplete plans for Eagle
Rivers observance of July 18th
this year point to arecord break
ing drive for Red Cross member
ship in the local chapter. Every
thing arranged for the program
of that day is designed toward
that end, it being decided that
no more fitting observance of the
day could be made than one in
which every effort will be for the
men 'overthere.'
On the nations birthday it is
altogether in keeping with pres
ent day events that that day be
set aside for a concerted effort
for the men 'overthere."
The ladies on the arrangement
committee will meet this evening
to formulate final plans for the
day. A tentative program will
include an all day drive for MEM
bership in the Red Cross. In
the Cause of Freedom" the pre-
sentation of which is outlined
and requested by the National
Council of Defense. Following
that there will be Red Cross
auction of articles donated to
the cause. Similar auctions
are proving very popular and an
efficient means of swelling the
funds of the various chapters
and it will without question be a
success here on the Fourth.
The mems committee in charge
of the speaker for the evening
has secured Prof. A. B. Olson of
Reedsburg, a former principal
here, to deliver an address.
This plan of spending the
Fourth should appeal to every
patriotic citizen. It is an effort
prompted by the noblest Of caus-
es and contains nothing of the
slan-bang, hurdy-gurdv ceIebra-
tons that 50 many people think
are necessary for a proper OBJ
servance of the day. This year.
as never before, there is every
reason for a deeper significance
being attached to the days
events, and the committees i'm
charge have outlined the pro-
gram with that thought upper
most.
Let's get together and make
it big day. 1t is well worth the
effort.

Some Glover Crop.

AS sample of what may be ex-
pected of the hay crop, we have asam
pie of medium >red clover cut on the
Radcliffe Bros. farm, Friday, June IA,
which measured % inches in length,
and hardly started to blossom out.
This means that another foot at
least will be addict to the crop before
it is ready to cut and put in the NOW.
The Review is interested in agricul-
ture to the extent that years sub
scrlption will be given to the man
who brings in the tallest sample of
clover grown on his farm before July
1st.

A Hard YearAh9ad !.

In the fiscal year that ends this
month the Government will have
spent about twelve billion dollars.
In the coming year it will undertake
to spend at least twenty.
Those are no mere figures on a.
printed page. They are no mere
problems in bankers finance, to be
disposed of by clever bookkeeping en-
tries. They are exigent and intimate
personal notice that hundred mil
lion people must do at least one-half
better in the opening year than they
did in the closing one.
We got through the closing year
very easily. We practiced, more or
less, the most obvious and convenient
economies those that involved only
some little bother in changing our
habits, like eating corn and rye bread
instead of wheat. but left us, on the
whole, living quite as agreeably as
before.
Our rich folk cheerfully adopted
the new fashion OF giving fewer par
ties, as they would have adopted any
other fashion not disagreeable in it,

body who got so close to a war regi-
men that he barked his shin against
it. And that was not actually need
ed. With such easy sacrifices as we
made the country got through the
year adequately and creditably-
Probably there is no point in barking
your shin until the actual need is at
hand.
These Treasury figures certify the
need. They are notice that we are
now coming under a more rigorous
war regimen, comparable to that of
Europe. We must produce and save
one-half more. 1t means you. TT
means every person capable of direct
ing his production and consumption.
It is an exigent personal message
Overhaul your budget now.

and take in the famous Winter Gar
den just to say I've been there. Have
seen several fair shows though not
from box seat. Central Park is a
pretty place but can have more fun
in Schenley Park at Pittsburg and
can have more real enjoyment up on
Rainy Lake than in all the East put
together. It's all in the game, though,

eager, IF course. to get TO Paris and
look that garden spot over, though

ing there tosee a deuced thing Ex-
pect by this time next week or very
very shortly after to be on the big
water, where the Bunny Hugh would
be slightly out Of place, Or where one
would want at least little more
than a Flagstaff to paddle home with.
Should be in France somewhere
around the 4th unless we have to
swim part of the way, which might
delay us somewhat.
Best regards to all my friends and
tell them to write. Mail is an ap-

This will be forwarded after leave
The following letter to e. A. Ever
erett is from Ed. Englestead of Co. G.,
57th Infantry, Camp Logan, Texas.
Houston, Texas.
June II, 1918.
Dear Friend-I thought would
take the time to write and tell you
of Camp Logan. I'm feeling fine, get
plenty to eat and clean place to
sleep. We sleep in tents with board
floors and boarded up about four feet
around the sides. We are four miles
from Houston in a big bunch Of
southern pine.
The farmers here are cutting their
grain now and corn is eight feet high.
Some hot weather but the nights are
cool which makes the sleeping nice.
And believe me, | sleep like log.
We drill from 7:30 to J j and from to
5 so we're always ready to chit the
hay when the time comes
Have not had chance to drive or
sign Up for mechanic yet but will
know in about {, week. Have chance
to be corporal but l don't want the
job.
Houston is quite place from what
I have seen of it. We have ten or
twelve Y. M. G. A. buildings here
with plenty of amusement and free
moving picture shows. It surely is
nice to be able to go to those places
and read and write and talk to the
men in charge. They are a dandy set
of men.
A fellow doesn't lack excitement in
the army. I saw seven airplanes go
over the other day-seven in bunch,
all headed for Galveston on the Gulf.
We had rain the other day and
when we came in from drilling in
this clay soil our feet were pretty
heavy, especially mine with my num-
bar nipht, army ShOoc
Nothing more I can think of at
present so will close. My best regards
to Mrs. Everett and yourself.
Sincerely,
Ed. ENGLEsTEAD.
