CAPT. ENPEY TO TALK
Al Eagle River Opera House
Wednesday, Aug. 18th.
"Over the Top"

Capt. Arthur Guy E1npey will
speak at the Eagle River Opera
House Wednesday, Aug. 18th.
He has donated his famous g.
reel super-feature motion picture
over the Top which will be
presented under the manage
ment of Tilden Bros. Resort both
afternoon and evening. Children
will be allowed at the afternoon
performance only. Two shows
will be given in the evening if
the attendance warrants it.
Capt. Empey will tell of his
experiences on the western
front, during the evening per-
Torrance.
Capt. Empey is enjoying an
extended outing at the Tilde11
resort on Meta lake and is
spending the time resting and
recuperating from his arduouS
efforts for the Red Cross, Liber-
ty Loan and other war activities
he has engaged in since leaving
the trenches. His book, Over
the Top" is one of the keenest
observations of the great war aa
actually experienced by an
American and the vigor of the
story has not been lost in it's
portrayal on the screen with
Capt. Empey himself playing
the leading role.
Because he likes this section Of
the country and because he likes
the people his outing has brought
him into contact with, Capt.
Empey has donated his film and
his services that the public may
get a fuller realization of what
this war means. It is an oppor-
tunity seldom given to this sec
ton.
All services rendered in con-
nection with the performances
in Eagle River are donated for
the big cause. and the entire
proceeds will go for smokes for
the American soldiers. Admis-
sion has been set at SOC.
J. r. Brazell has donated his
machine and services for the
presentation of the picture.

No Place Here for Such Men.

Wednesday morning, two strangers
at first taken for hangerson Of the
circus that had just arrived, called at
several houses in town asking for
breakfast. This seeming rather out
of keeping with the shortage in man
power and the present wage scale,
Sheriff Jackson was notified and he
hustled them up to jail. Leaving
them in the corridor while he went
for the key to the bastile, his prison
ers made a dash for liberty, which
apparently was the woods twenty
rods or so to the east. The sheriff
soon had a man hunt under way and
a few shots had the effect of inducing
the slower sprinter to wait for his
pursurers who then relieved him of a
fairly gooG burglars outfit. His pal
succeeded in making the timber, the
scene of many hard fought battle,
but was soon found and captured.
After being placed behind the bars,
they confessed to escaping from the
Shawano Jail Monday night, making
their getaway with Chevrolet Road
ster, and headed for the Michigan
border until they ran out of gasoline
four miles below town which led to
their roundup here. The ShaWano
sheriff came up yesterday. ana took
his men back to answer to the new
complaint filed against them.

Dear Friend:

the best of health. Well George /
now have one of the highest honors
given to anyone in France. l will
have nice medal when come back.
That is not so bad for Eagle River.
Well I am still on the battle field
and I like it very much. 1t is sure
good sport even if fellow has few
hardships.
Well George things look very
bright. expect to eat my Christ

that is long ways off. Well must
close for this time. With best re-

My dear Verne:
Received your most welcome let
ter yesterday, and you have no idea
how glad | was to get it. | had CIV
en- up all hope of ever hearing from
you again, but seeing that you were
real busy I'll let you go this time.
The Frisco people are very hospi-
table and invite us Jackies to their
homes with delightful frequency.
l spent last Sunday at an apricot
ranch at Hayward, twenty miles from
Oakland, tonight am invited to a
dinner-dance at a summer home, on
Sunday / am going out for dinner
and in the evening we will join a
crowd to sail down the bay. so if we
get homesick, lit is not the fault of
the people here.
So nearly everyone has gone to war.
How anyone can sit around and see
the others go, I can't conceive. i
can't figure out how held out $s
long as I did,, "
Believe me, they sure handle slack
ers rough out here. Once in a while
they have mix-up with the enlisted
men; the last one resulted in fifteen
civilians being sent to the Emergency

but ten miles an hour and yet they
raid our coast.
The Allies in resources for making
.aerplanes, and equipping them with
trained pilots and ammunition. are
enormously superior to Germany.
Aeroplanes will travel hourly q humid
red twenty miles through the air.
France affords every facility for a
base and for the starting and for the
return fight of these destroyers. And
Berlin and practically all of Hundom
remain untouched by war.
Let us be aggressive, let us carry
on determined offensive. The ways
of the ali are open. Let us win and
let us win by the open way and by
the way that paralyze the foe at it's
very sources and fountain heads.
Conflicts there would be, but in the
air the Allies can mobilize fiocks of
eagles enormously superior to the
Hun buzzards. To destroy noncom-
batants is repulsive but it is neces-
sary. And the Huns, startedi it,
Let us carry the war to Germany
where it started. Let us bomb Der
lin. Let us lay waste 1.-The kHunnish
lands as they have devastated Bel
GUM and Frame. Let them taste Of
that bitterness they have so freely
forced between the wan lips and down
the parched throats-of millions Of In
nocent women and helpless children.
Loose the eagles! Let them Mdriye
their beaks into the brains Of die
buzZardS.
Bonds are bought withlayish hands;
taxes are paid willingly; the Red
Cross and the Y, M. c. A. are nobly
sustained. American youths offer
their lives-their all. No nation in
the world approximates America in
resources, nor surpasses it in patriot
ism. Treasure and lives offer in pro-
fusion,
The Huns sent their sea Serpents
to America. Let us send our eagles
to Germany! Let us make some No
Mans Land in German soil. Let
not all the deserts be in Belgium and
France. Let the Huns from their
own devastated lands, from their
own ruined cities, from their own
slaughtered ranks Of innocent women
and prattling children, learn the les
son Of bitter reprisals. Loose the
eagles! Lay waste Germany! Bomb
Berlin. Win the War!

Capt. EmDey Fisherman.

Hun hunting hasn't anything on
fishing for the big fellows in northern
Wisconsin. At least, that is what
Capt. Arthur Guy Empey says and he
knows because he has done both. At
Tilden Bros. Resort, where he is stay
ing, Capt. Empey has had real sport,
getting the limit of the big fellows.
Yesterday he landed Alb. musky
out of Cranberry lake.

Dear Mother:
No doubt you will be surprised to
hear that I am in California. We
arrived here on the 9th of July from
Honolulu. Had very hard trip over
from the Island. When we were
about three days out from Honolulu
we became i'll. Imagine, with LAG of
us and half the crew. 1t was hard to
take their places.
It is sure cold here in California in
the evenings. | use three blankets
and then get cold.
I am going to Frisco Saturday. [
have couple of pillow-tops for you
that got from China. Will send
them Saturday.
/ have couple of rife-grenades I
will bring home when I come They
are still loaded, but harmless, as the
cap isn't in them. Heard band con-
cert of fifty pieces the other night.
Some band.
/ am going to try to get a furlough
in September. 1t has been nearly
four years since / was home.
There are a lot Of soldiers here; I
see lots of boys that 1 knew in the
Islands. We expect 1900 men to arr
rive at this camp this week. There
are $4,000 men here now. They are
drilling hours a day. I am not.

I don't know the name Of the field
but I am one of the fifteen in our
company slated for that place. We
go there for actual practice and will
remain there until shipped across.
Co. 2 is all here now but it has been
assigned to fifteen different flying
fields. Postel, the man from Hiles,
goes to a field in Mississippi. We
will be scattered all over the country
in few days.
Just word in regard to the school.
Company got the highest average of
any company that has yet completed
the course. Ny average for the five
weeks was 81. There were only five
higher. We graduated Friday: Aug.
End, and received our green and black
hat cords and new buttons. Am
sending mother my old signal corps
hat cord and button. Expect to be
higher than just a buckpriyate soon.
All those in this branch Of service
get a rating of some kind or other,
and with the marks / got, stand a
good show of getting something worth
while. Can't say when I'll get over
seas but it will be quite awhile from
the way ] see things here.
All / can say about this place is
that it is as nearly like actual war
conditions as possible.
Write often and I'll try and keep
you posted on things here.

Dear Brother-You will no doubt be
looking for letter from me at my
new location so will see what l can
write that will be interesting and yet
not get me into trouble, because all
our mail from these places is CEN
sored.
My trip here was on foot so didn't
enjoy it quite SO much as the one
from Madison Barracks. But after a
good nights sleep the l2-mile hike
didn't affect me much.
The place here is very pretty Lots
Of fresh air, good clean tents and
the food is also good considering the
the way it is put up, although it is
not like Eastman's cafeteria where /
have been eating for the past Ave
weeks. In regards to my work and
what we are here for that must be
left out of our letters as orders are
orders and it is no use trying to dis
obey them.

DRAFT LOTTERY NEXT WEEK.
Chance For Local Boards 70 Correc
ANY Serial Number Errors.

Washington, Sept. .5-The national
lottery which in a measure will deter
mine the order of calling Of the 1900
900 men between Is and As years of
age who registered Sept 12, probabl
will not be held before next week Of
ticials had hoped to fix a date late this
week. but this plan is understood to
have been abandoned in order that ad
ditional time may be given local boards
to correct any errors made in assigning
serial numbers to the registrants. Since
men between le and SO are to be the
first called to the colors the drawing
will have ness effect upon determining
the order of the call than did that fo-
the nearly 1000 900 men who turned Fl
before last June 5. Order mum bers for
all the Il, 900 600 men will be drawn. but
youths Of Is and men between 3s and
IS will not be classified until the boards
have given classification to all the men
between l9 and Sc who are the first to
receive their questionnaires. In the
meantime many Of the 19 to Sc classes
will have been indicted into service.
Reports received by Provost Marshal
General Crowder from nearly all states
indicated that satisfactory progress is
being made by local board in attach
ing serial numbers to the registration
cards, but in one or two instances mis-
takes by local boards have made neces-
sary the REMEMBERING of the cards for
all registrants under their jurisdiction.
No date for the drawing can be fixed
! until this work Is completed and the
serial numbers posted and while this
may be done this week it is understood
that General Crowder will allow sew
eral days for the discovery Of any err
rors before holding the drawing.
One New England board before at
| taching the numbers classified all reg
istrants by age, making a separate
group Of IS year old registrants, Sec
ond for registrants between 10 and 81
and third for those from 81 to Al
years old This was held to introduce
a possibility of affecting unfairly the
order of the call, tho the intention was
merely to facilitate the additional work
Of classification to be done later, anG
orders were issued to renumber the en-
tire group
Only five states have now to repor,
|
their returns show sharp decreases I'm.
der the official estimate the total reg.
istration will exceed the original esti
mate.
Provost Marshal General Crowde
again, by formal statement, asked mer
registered under the selective service
law who are now engaged in answer
ing questionnaires not to let motives o
chivalry prevent them from claiming
deferred Classification, Il their occu
patton or the status OF their depend
ents entities them to do SO. He agail
pointed out that such claims can b.
made by a third person and that, TIN
local boards are andeavoring to ascer
tain the true condition even where I
claim is not made, the necessity TO
expediting the work makes it incum
bent upon registrants to assist.

Chicago, Sept 25.-Corn-Corn was
irregular early, opening higher and
soon selling lower than last nights
close From this point, however. it
rallied and closed at the days best
prices with shorts and local bulls
competing on the buying side. Cash
corn which was frmer early, closed
easier. When the ban on shipments Of
cash corn is raised, there probably
will be more urgent selling Of country
holdings than before the embargo. The
new crop is advancing rapidly and the
movement of this promises to be IN
usually early.
Oats-The usual bun support was
evident in oats, but the early strength
in the market did not hold until corn
turned strong near the close. The
sllipping and export demand was good,
altho not so keen as Of late. 1t is in
tinated that the permits for the ship
ments Of oats will be issued earlier
than those for corn.
Provisfons-The provisions market
was a repetition of that of yesterday.
Hogs were lower and liquidation pre-
dominated in the market for product.

cago first two days Of this week re-
ceived $500 less than a week ago and
1900 more than a year ago.

evenly lower On dlt hiRAiiIS SasaS.
Receipts Tuesday were estimated at
1900, including 5000 western rangers,
standing over 5000 larger than last
Tuesday and nearly S.ooS larger than
year ago. Offerings thus far this week
totaled $500. or 500 more than same
period last week and 1000 mere than
corresponding time a year ago.

ceived $1,000. and. including the local
supply. seven markets were credited
with $4,000. or 5000 more than a week
ago and 5000 more than corresponding
Tuesday a year ago. Combined arriv-
ais for the week to date footed $4,000
or $4,000 more than same period last
