Must Taste Of Rea, Sacrifice.

"Our people have not reallzeo yet
what real war strain is. Before this
war ends they must taste OF real sac
Yifce. They must have q war con-
eciousness that will make them direct
the course of their affairs In sucn
direction as will aid in the winning OF
the war. Every individual must con-
slider the effect of every action upon
the course of the war. In no other
way can we win without useless sac
rif1ce or lives and the continuation OF
the appalling suffering in our Allied
countries and in the countries OF
friendly neutra1s.
zone very great incentive to the
quickest possible winning OF the Wa1
is the condition of 180 million neut-
rails. extending from Rouman1a on the
south and including Poland, Norway.
Sweden and Holland. In some OF
those countries there Is the most
acute sufe cring Hundreds OF thou

1utely nothing ahead except $40"
starvation. 1t is our humane duty, N
addition to our duty to our own sold
;ers and Allies, to win this war just
as quickly as possible SO that we may
relieve these people. We can do moth
ing for them as long as the war lasts
and all of our exports are required Tor
our Allies.
Non-Essent!aIs Must Go.
"Not only in foodstuffs must the
American people economize; we must
economic in labor particularly and IN
other things that are large factors IN
the war situation. 1t is expected that
we will have between two and three
millions additional men IN france
early next summer, with million or
more under arms in camps IN tn1s
country. At the same time we must
very greatly increase the number OF
workmen in shipyards, munition plants
and other war industries. All of TINS
means that there is to be an unprec--
dented drain upon the labor OF tsc
country. Non-essentia1 industries
must 20. Women must take the place
of men in some industries that are es-
sential In France 95 per cent OF agrl-
eul-r 81 work is being done by women
and children and the other per cent
by old men and wounded men. We
shall not approach any such condition
as this, but patriotic women must
volunteer for such positions as they
can fill and men just be relieved
wherever possible for the harder man
uel labor required m agriculture dAu

Lost Valuable Horse.

One ofJohn divers draft horses
was killed in a peculiar man
ner at Star Lake last Wednes-
day. A pony stallion belonging
to Wausau parties which had
been allowed to run at large in
that section of the county, in a
fight with one of divers horses,
bit it up in such manner that
in a few minutes it died. The
throat of the big horse was bad
lv lacerated where the stallion
had torn it in the fight. This
breaks up a perfectly matched
team of roans which was the
pride of the Oliver Lodge.

Must Pay Cash for Freight

Do not kick on your local freight
agent if he refuses to let you have
your freight until you have
planked down the cash to pay
the freight charges.
All of the local agents and in
fact, every railway agent in the
country has been notified by
direction of Director General
McAdoo to permit no freight
to be delivered until the charges
have been paid, and that there
shall be no exceptions to this
order.
It will make no difference
whether it is a piece of freight
from Chicago mail order house
to John Doe or a carload of po-
tatoes for the wealthiest com
mission man in town, the freight
charges must be paid before the
freight will be delivered.
Heretofore with the strong
competition among the various
railways, the roads have extend
ed credit to their customers in
the way of freight charges, col
Letting when it was agreeable to
the shipper.
The railroads of the country
now, however, are under one
management, and the orders for
one are the orders for all. If
you have freight coming be pre-
pared to pay the charges with
either cash or a good check for
you will not get it otherwise.
Do not blame it on the agent
but on the fellows who failed to
pay when they were trusted.
The new order becomes effec-
tive July 1st next.

A Bad Reputation.

Toledo school children are writing
essays on the evils of the liquor traf-
fc. This has aroused the opposition
of the vets. a liquor dealer who by
the way does not sign his name in
full, says in a letter of protest to
the News Bee:
81 am a liquor man and proud of
it with several children in our pub
lie schools, and the only effect these
essays have is to prejudice these
children against those of a saloon
man. l wonder who among, these
same children realize that they are
procuring an education from the tax
es derived from the business they
are so %ignorantly trying to con
DENIM"
But doesn't this incident brand the
liquor business as a business different
from any other? This saloon man,
who doesn't sign his name, surely
would not contend that the evils of
the liquor traffic are the inventions
of the school children of Toledo.
They are character witnesses .por-
traying the general reputation of the
traffic.
The father himself is one who is
making it unpleasant for his children
in the schools.
A business in which no man can
engage without working injury to
his children deserves to die.-The

the voters preference under the old
system.
One of the most notable improve
men.s was in the greater orderliness
around the polls. We print in an
other column a remarkable testimo-
ny to this effect as to Charleston.
Conditions there differ from those
in other counties; but nevertheless
there comes the same testimony
from all over the state.
The system as placticed last
week was crude and incomplete.
Several changes out TO be made at
once.
For instance, the polls should be
roped or barred off and the voter
should not be permitted to leave
the enclosure after having entered
and received his official ballot until
he has desposited it in the ballot
box.

step in our election system should
