CORRESPONDENCE


It is reported that two Edgerton
hunters were fined 5000 apiece Monday
for having in their possession what are
known as wood ducks. They shot the
ducks at Lake Koshkonong.
Some party or parties broke into the
barn on the Heckler estate Tuesday
night and stole six bags of apples that
had been gathered for the purpose OF
making cider. This wholesale system
of midnight thievery should be met
with severe punishment.
Miss Margaret RosabelIe Hammond,
daughter of Mrs. w. G. Hammond,
Minlow Ave-, Milwaukee, and MIR.
Maxwell Goodrich, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
G. l.. Goodrich, 200 S. Bird st. w., were
quietly married at the M. E. parsonage
Saturday, Sept. IA, at p. M, Rev. A.
w. Triggs officiating.
Eleven cents a quart and cents a
pint were fixed as the prices for milk in
Wisconsin at meeting of the milk dl-
vision of the Wisconsin food admins
tration held in Madison last Saturday
Representatives of milk dealers from
all parts of the state attended. The
increase in price results from an in
crease in the cost of production, it was
announced.
Four Deerfeld hunters on their way
to Lake Koshkonong figured in an au-
tomobile accident at the Merrimen,s
Creek bridge last Saturday night 1t
appears that the driver of the car, a
Ford, turned too sharp when nearly to
the bridge. The car struck the railing
with great force and in some manner
was thrown upon heavy post where
it hung a moment and then toppled
down into the creek, turning complete
ly over. The car was somewhat dam
aged but the occupants fortunately es-
capped unhurt. With necessary equip
ment and AL Puerner's bort car the
machine was raised from the water and
taken to Elements garage.

Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.

This is not only one of the best and
most efficient medicines FOR coughs,
colds, Group and whooping cough, but
is also pleasant to take, which is i'm
portant when medicine must be given
to young children. Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy has been in use for
many years and has met with much
favor wherever it's good qualities have
become known. Many mothers have
given it their unqualified endorsement.
VIM. Scruby, Chillicothe, Mo-, writes:
"I have raised three children, have al
ways used Chamberlain Cough Rem
edy and found it to be the best for
coughs, colds and Group. It is pleasant
to take. Both adults and children like
it. My wife and / have always felt
safe from Group with it in the house.
Chamberlain Cough Remedy contains
no opium or other narcotic.

DeatuessCannot he Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that Is by constitutional remedies
Deafness is caused by an infsmed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube gets in
famed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed forever,
nine cases out of ten are caused by Ca
tarrh, which is nothing but an inhamed
condition of tie mucous surfaces.

wnere courage Is Common.

The Kansas soldier who, after tax
ing part in a battle on the Western
front, wrote to his mother, "Say, moth
err dear, I never knew courage was so
common" has expressed the sentiment
of the nation. We never knew that
there was SO much latent heroism

America. Thank God that to our young
Americans courage is common !''-

Use of Cement.

Cement was first put on the market
I'm England. 1t was still being import
ed into this country in 1875. 1t was
at this time that the use of Portland
cement in the United States came into
commercial prominence. When the
product was first placed on the market
in competition with that which was be-
ing imported from England and Ger
many a good price was demanded.
However, production in excess of de-
mand soon resulted and it proved a big
factor in the price cutting that fol-
lowed.

An external stimulus sometimes is

to keep the messenger from his pub

For a Weak Stomach.

The great relief afforded by Cham

has fully proven the great value of this
preparation for weak stomach and
impaired digestion. In many cases this
relief has become permanent and the
sufferers have been completely restor-
ed to health.

All OF these persons and papers be-
licvc permanent system OF universal

For the benefit OF those persons who

HELD IN PRISON CAMP
McKeeHport Man Asks Postmaster I,
Notify Relatives That He Is
Well

McKEESPORT. PA. January s.
Postmaster Frank McFadden has re-
ccived a letter from Robert Snyder,
OF this place. now prisoner in an
internment camp in Mecklenburg, Ger
many. in which he asks the postnas-
ter TO notify his relatives that he is
well.
Snyder says he was employed on a
horse transport that was taken by the
Germans while on a return trip from
England in 1916. The ship was sunk
and the crew made prisoners and taken
10 Germany. Snyder assumed the name
OF O'Connor when he shipped on the
vessel he says. which accounts for
the failure of the State Department to
ind his relatives at that time.
Tho letter had evidently passed
through the hands OF the German cen
eor without investigation.

JUDGE SILENT DIES
 IN LOS ANGELES

News has been received in Bisbee of the death Tuesday in Los Angeles of Judge Charles Silent, who was 8 federal judge in Arizona from 1881 to 1885, on the bench of the Prescott district. He was appointed by Presi- dent Hays in the last year of the ad- ministration of that executive. from practice in Judge SileEt's native city of San Jose, Cal.
 In Los Angeles he took up his pro fession again, with offices in the old Temple block, now left far down town by the western progress of the city. He made some very good investments in realty in the Adams street section, where the we'll known Chester place is a subdivision of his home grounds. In 1908 he retired and thereafter de- voted himself to the beautifying of his newer home, Los Alisos. in the Glendora district. For years he was active in Los Angeles public affairs and especially was interested in the development of Elysian and Griffith parks While park commissioner he had charge of the work of remodeling Central park.

 Mrs. Wilson went about Paris for the first time today unaccOmpanied by the president. With Admiral Cary T. Grayson, the presidents personnel friend, Mrs. Wilson visited the hOspi- tai for blind soldiers organized by Winifred Holt of New York.
 Announcement of the details of the presidents trip to England was not made during the day as had been ex- pected. because information awaited from London had not arrived. How ever. the only arrangement to be disclosed is the route the president will take and the program of his movements during the three or four

of the administration of the selective service draft.
 It is suggested that this will be the best way to preserve from oblivion the human side of the great wars draft system, not only in the revolu- tionary suddenness of it's adoption, but also in the rapidity of it's success ful operation and in the willing pOpu- lar response to its demands.
 Srhis will be the simplest way" writes General Crowder, ito preserve for posterity the true inspiration of the draft as a landmark in our pa- triotic history
 General Crowder continues: Tt will of course not be complete. No his tory of the human side of this drama could be complete for all parts of our country. But when all the contribu- tions are assembled feel certain we shall possess a typical picture of the background of the draft, complete in its large features and illustrative Of the pathos, humor, patriotism and popular sentiment which have marked it throughout"
 General Crowder in his letter sug- gests four heads under which the hu- man side of the draft is to be as- sembled, namely, pathetic, humorous, patriotic and miscellaneous.
 For further subdivisions the pro vost marshal suggests: Let us take the three great stages in the '>lmin- istrative process, to-wit, registration, classification, mobilization, and ar range the contributions under them"
 Out of all the matter received from the 4700 boards in the country the provost marshal general will assemble and typify, to bring about what he terms some semblance of order"
 Just what to write about or how is left to the discretion of each board. The provost marshal general gives no directions, saying it is simply a re quest or a suggestion" adding, but it is believed that the most of you will agree with me that the object is a worthy one, and that this is the only way to accomplish it."
 In summing up, he writes: Tastes will differ: but out of this variety of judgment will come richness of illus tration. Sometimes the simplest things are the most significant"
 This human side of the draft will be preserved with the reports of the provost marshal generals office, and as opportunity affords they will be placed at the disposal of responsible persons, like other government rec ords, under such regulations as the president may prescribe.
