money IS NEEDED
NO SLOWING UP
ON LIBERTY LOAN
Governor Philip Urges That People
Of Wisconsin Should Respond
Readily, Rich and Poor, To
the Loan.

Fear that the talk of peace terms
will have a tendency to slow down
the fourth Liberty loan, Gov. E. L.
Philip Sunday night issued a procla-
nation to the people of the state in
which he declares that this money
asked for in the loan is Immediately
needed.
"The government will require the
money it is now seeking from bond
sales, even though peace were pos
sible in the near future" declared
the governor. His proclamation fol-
lows:
81 wish to remind the people of this
state of the fact that only one week
remains in which the fourth Liberty
loan must be concluded. The secre-
tary of the treasury, Hon. w. G..
McAdoo, wires under date of October
IL, that s3,5OO,O0O,OOO remains to be
raised in the United States.
II feel it my duty to urge the peo-
pie to give their subscriptions prompt
ly and to give librally as the amount
allotted is large and we must not fail
at this critical moment to do our part
toward meeting the expenditures of
the war. The expenses of the govern
ment must be met and if the bonds
should fail other methods must be re-
sorted to- -a@." ..
ct is reported that some people are
losing their interest in the bonds be-
cause of the prospect of an early
peace. l wish to remind the people
that our army and navy must be gen.
erously maintained until the last min
ute of war. The peace terms that are
being discussed now are indefinite and
it is dangerous to assume that the war
is ended until the articles of peace
have been agreed to and have been
signed by the properly constituted
authorities of the countries involved
Failure on the part of the people to
literally subscribe to our government
war fund at this time would be an
encouragement to our enemy and
would have tendency to prolong the
war;
wisconsin has thus far done her
part nobly and we must not fail In
this instance All citizens must come
forward and give all they can possibly
spare. Rich and poor. alike should
subscribe all they can pay for. And +
ask that the banks OF, the state shall
aid the people in carrying: these
bonds in order that we shall not fail
to fulfill our allotment" ... :

SPANISH FLU
IS INCREASING
CASES NUMBER G.
Only One Death Has Occurred In Wa
tertOwn From La Grippe-Sev-
eral Are Afflicted In One
Family, Report.

Several additional cases of Spanish
flu or la grippe were reported to the
health department today. At noon DR..
c. ]. abhegger said that there were 62
cases reported to his office, but in
some cases more than one member of
a family was down with the disease,
and that so far the fatalities had been
confined to one.
The churches, schools, movies and
theatres are complying with the or
der to stay closed until further ad-
vices are received. While there is
an increase of cases in Watertown,
people should not become alarmed
and start worrying as that is the
worst thing possible. Think of things
more pleasant than sickness and help
the toxin in your system to ward off
tn microbes.
Everybody should know that in
fluenza has the possibilities Of being
fatal disease if it is neglected. And
yet if it is properly cared for the
chances of death from it can be great
ly reduced. 1t is mistake for one to
attempt to fight off an attack and
think that he can fool the germs by
ignoring them. 1t is an equally great
mistake to lie down and die of fear
that one is going to die from influenza.
The ideal attitude is to be neither
foolish nor cowardly. The great dan
ger of death lies in the likelihood Of
pneumonia developing. The pneumon-
ia of this epidemic is proving to be
especially deadly.
A physician who is in the midst of
the fight against the disease in one
of the military camps says: eff any
of you get the 'fu-don't be darn
fools and keep on going Quit, use
antiseptic in nose and throat, consult
a physician as to the kind and method
Of use, keep the bowels open and quit
eating. / can't believe that it is neces
sary to have the lung complication If
one has sense

THE FARM AND THE WAR
BY L. n. Bailey con Former
President Rooseveit's Rural
Life Commission.)

The response Of the farming
people to the Third Liberty
Loan was gratifying. 1t was
what we expected, as soon as
the question was put before the
farmers directly. hope that the
Fourth Liberty Loan will be
taken still more freely by the
rural people.
No great war can be won
in these days without the &C
tive cooperation of all the peo-
pie. We contribute by giving our
selves, our business, upholding
the hands of the government,
and loaning the government our
money. This money has been &C
cumulated because we have
prospered, and because our gov
eminent has protected US. The
investment is the best, and the
spirit that takes Liberty Bonds
is the same spirit that makes
good crops. The farmers crops
have saved us.
We cannot think of losing
this war. We cannot run the
:. risk of an agriculture controlled
by headstrong, immoral state,
such as would be imposed on us
if Prussia were to succeed. Agri
culture lies at the foundation of
our system Of democracy; its
opinion must count in our pub
lie policies; this means that
farmers must take such an ac-
tive part in the maintenance Of
the war that they will have a
right to be heard. They have
taken this part thus far, and !
know that they will be stead
fast to the end.

NEAR BEER HIT BY
ORDER; CAN NOT BE
MADE AFTER DEC. ]

Washington. Sept 7.-Manufac-
turers OF near beers and substt-
tutes for beer which have developed
a fourishing business in prohibit
ton territory, ii was officially ex-
planned today, are just as much af-
fected by the decision to cut OF
brewing of beer as those who make
the actual beverage.
Millions of dollars have been in
vested in the business.
One of the largest breweries in
, the country recently erected an
additional million dollar plant sole
" for the brewing of this beverage.
The principal uses breweries can
be converted to are the manufac-
ture of ice, cold storage. making OF
yeast for baking, rolling barley and
grinding grains for mill feed. All
these purposes would likely be con-
sidered essential to the war or to
the civil population
Manufacture of all other bev-
erages of the so-caled soft" va
riety, some months ago was cur
tailed so per cent by the food ad-
miuistTation as a sugar COGsdr-
walton measure. Further cUrtail-
ment of the manufacture of such
beverages and mineral waters are
under consideration and may take
the form of further reducing sup
plies of sugar, fuel, materials for
containers and food products and
limiting transportation.

BOUGHT TICKET
FOR PEORIA; is
FOUND MANGLED

Rock Island police have been no
titled OF the finding Of the body Of
an unknown man killed by a train
at Henry, H. and who purchased a
ticket in this city Thursday for
Peoria over the Rock Island lines.
The local police. together with Of
ficials in other cities, are endeavOr-
ing to ascertain the identity of the
man whose body is said to have
been mutilated almost beyond iden-
tification.
The Moline police were of the
opinion this morning that they
knew who the man is, but their
clue later proved unfounded. They
believed that the man was a PeO-
rian who had been living in Moline
for some time.
The unfortunate victim is said to
be a man of between 50 or 40 years
of age, has dark hair, dark com
plexion, smooth face, wore a grey
coat and trousers black leather belt,
low brown shoes and carried a vel
low grip containing a dark coat and
trousers. The authorities also
found $14 in money on his person.
The ticket that had been pur-
chased in this city had been punch
ed on a night train Thursday. The
man was found early yesterday
morning.
