PRESIDENTS
STATEMENT

s'Industry plays as essential and hon.
orable role in this great struggle as do
our military ornaments. We all recognize
the truth of this, but we must also see it's
necessary implica tions-namely, that indus
try, doing vital task for the nation, must
receive the support and assistance of the
nation"
Wherefore, I solemnly
urge all employers engaged in war work to
refrain after August LIST, 1918, from recruit
ing unsklled labor in any manner except
through. this central agency. III. S. EN-
ployment Service.] Iurge labor to respond
as loyalty as heretofore to any calls issued
by this agency for voluntary enlistment in
essential industry. And ask them both
alike to remember that no sacrifice will
have been in vain, if we are able to prove
beyond all question that the highest and
best form of efficiency is the spontaneous
cooperation of free people,

An illustration of the
benefit of this service,
typical of hundreds,
may be cited. An en-
ployer, having a gov

requested that 400 men
be furnished immedi-
ately. Upon investi-
CATION it was found
that not only were
housing facilities lack
ing, but the employer
would not need the
men for several weeks.
Because the govern
ment handled the job
the men were sent at
the right time, housing

PITTSFORD HAS CASE
OF POLIOMYELITIS
Symptoms Of Young Child of Manley
Grace Show Disease in Mild


Grace Show Disease in Mild
Form.
Pittsford, July 1.-THE six-year-
old daughter of Manley Grace. who
lives about half way between the VIII
lage and the mill in town, is i'll with
what the doctors and the experts from
the Rockefeller institute pronounce a
typical case of infantile paralysis,
though mild in character.
DR.. II. ". Swift. the local health
officer diagnosed the case as infantile
paralysis, or poliomyelitis. on Monday
July 3. and since then the child has
been seen by other physicians. includ-
ing DR.. c. S. Caverly. chairman of the
state board of health and the Rookie
Teller experts.
There is no history OF exposure TO
polio in the case. as the child has not
been away from home, nor can any
member OF the family trace the
disease to any known source. Both
the experts and the local doctors ex-
pect the little girl to make a complete
recovery.
This case is what is called a sLor-
adie, case. and. as it was immediate
ly isolated, it is hoped that there
will be no further cases in town or
vicinity The Manley Grace case is
one Of three cases of polio in Yer
mont, two being located in one fam
lily in Bethel. Suspicious cases in
Ludlow and Barton have since been
pronounced not infantile paralysis.

winter on account of the shortage
of cars. A few days ago grower of
hay near Baraboo contracted to deliver
a carload to Kilbourn at $25 ton but

Much Of the hay at BarabOO is con-
sumed by the elephants ,camels, horse
and other animals so that not much
is sent away. While the roads are

must be found. A few carloads Of
corn have been received but it is
difficult to obtain cars for this pro-

WANT AN OPEN
DEER SEASON

Deer are becoming such a nuisance
in Sauk and Richland counties that
the conservation commission will ask
the legislature at the next regular
session to declare a short open sea-
son for deer in these counties.
Last week A. A. Thompson, of the
state superintendent office, wrote to
the conservation commission that
deer had destroyed a large quantity
of corn on his farm two miles from
Twin Bluffs. A deputy warden was
sent to investigate.
Today the commission received a
report from the warden that Satur-
day night 25 deer entered the Thomp-
son corn field and that he had killed
two of them. About the same time
Sunday night 80 deer entered the
field and began feeding on the corn
in the shock, but he drove them away
without killing any.
The warden reported that the deer
had destroyed 81 shocks of corn on
one side Of the field and are now
feeding on 21 shocks on another side.

WORK o. RED
CROSS ACTIVE
Rev. Frank W. Gunsaulus Pays
Rare Tribute to This Organiza-
tion---Many Workers at Baraboo

Red Cross work has been speeded
up all over Wisconsin, and the Sauk
County chapter is responding to the
general impetus. Volunteers are COM
ing to the work rooms in the court
house in ever-increasing numbers, un-
til as many as 240 women were pres
ent during the six years of last week.
This does not count the large num-
bers of cutters, perhaps Is more; nor
does it count those who are knitting,
making pajamas and other outing fan
mel items. Nor does it count the high
school girls who are working two
evenings each week under the direc-
ton of Miss Christian Wright.
Surgical dressings were produced
last week, only one size, and the fin
ished product counted 5,358. These
we're of the 2x2 inch wipes" much
in demand at army headquarters.
Great bolts of gauZe materials were
worked into shape and will soon be
packed for shipment. Evidently Green
Bay and De Pere chapters hold the
state record, but Sauk county is max
ing a determined rush for a high
place. 1t is all a question of volun-
teers.
A recent issue of the Red Cross
bulletin, the official publication for
the society in the middle west, says,
in quoting the Rev. Frank w. Gunsau-
lus, "The Red Cross is the divinest
symbol emblazoned now upon the
banner of civilization. 1t is stream
ing above the weller and storm of bar
barism. To hold it up where Savag-
cry at the front and selfishness at the
rear must see and revere it is to save
our humanity.
"There never was cause in the
history of humanity where such an in
stitution as the Red Cross could labor
so Loyalty, and so unfailingly know
that it's victory is not alone the vic
tory of mercy and love and kindness
in relieving suffering. 1t is also the
victory through inspiration and sup
port of those who are fighting with
the consciousness that behind them
is a great nation making it certain
that kindness and mercy and self
sacrifice shall establish the new order
of the world, after the battle is over"
