DON'T DISAPPOINT THE BOYS
Pershing Troops Want to Beat the
Germans and You Can Help.

A disappointed boy is one Of the
most tragic things there is.
When a boy wants something, hv
wants it desperately, with every nerve
il his brain and body.
And if he fails TO get it he is over
whelmed, hardly able to go on living.
THERE is JUST ONE THING
PERSHING'S BOYS WANT.
You know what that is: To beat
the Germans
And they know it can't be done with
out all the money the people at home
can spare.
They know, too, that the hour has
struck for us to give that money.
They will learn right away whether
the Fourth Liberty Loan is being fully
subscribed or not.
They will be sitting there in their
trenches, the dugouts, or the "Y" butts
waiting to find out.
Can't you imagine the cheers when
they hear the loan has "gone over?'
Can you imagine them disappointed
ARE WE GOING TO DISAPPOINT
THEM?

A WONDERFUL DISCOVERY
FOR INFLUENZA TREATMENT

Doubtless every one has seen the
articles in the Chicago papers about
the wonderful results obtained from
, the use of the serum which DR.. Rose
now has discovered.
The County Council of Defense i'm
mediately got in touch with the Mayo
Clinic and asked if it would be pos
sible to secure the serum. The writer
in talking with Dr. William Mayo
was advised that the matter would
be taken up with Dr. ROsenOw, who
at the time, was in Chicago holding
conference with the Chicago doc
tors.
The next day DR.. RosenOw was
reached by Dr. Caswell and the pro-
position outlined. yes" he said, 1--WE
will take care of you, but we can't dc
it right away The best that we pos
sibly can do, on account Of the de-
mand, is to ship to you, on Friday
October IS, enough Of the serum tc
treat two hundred patients. This
serum will be sent you absolutely free
of charge, the Mayo Brothers paying
even the postage"
Saturday morning, October 10, we
hope to receive our first supply. II
will come to DR.. CaswelTs office at
Fort Atkinson, and there it will be re-
shipped to the other doctors in the
county.
l called the doctors committee OF
the Council of Defense last night by
phone and told them to Immediately
get their orders in to DR.. CaswelPs
office, and to notify all of the doctors
in their Council.
We want the Councils of Defense
to cooperate in giving this matter
publicity, and in doing so please re-
member that this serum is only a pre-
tentative; it is not a cure. The pa
tient must be given the treatment be-
too late.
More than 10000 cases have been
treated by the Mayo Clinic and they
have not had single failure. In
fiuenza pneumonia has been fatal in
our county and especially in Fort At
kinson, where there have been a great
many deaths.
The serum comes properly labeled
with full and complete directions, sc
that doctors will experience no diff
ficulty whatever in using it.
Council chairmen,. please get into
communion, at once, with your city
and village boards of health, and in
every way possible let it be known
throughout the county that we are to
secure this wonderful PREVENTIVE for
influenza pneumonia.
Our people in the county are worry
ing Let's relieve their minds so far
as possible with this good news.

What Makes Thunder Rumble.

Why does thunder rumble? The
path of lightning flash through the air
may be several miles in length. ALI
along this path the sudden expansion
OF the heated air-a true explosion
sets up an atmospheric wave, which
spreads in all directions, and eventual
~ registers upon our ears as thunder.
Since the lightning discharge is almost
instantaneous the sound wave is pro-
duced at very nearly the same time
along the whole path. But the sound
wave travels slowly through the air.
Its speed is approximately 1000 feet
per second. Thus the sound from the
part Of the lightning's path that is
nearest to us reaches us first, and that
from the other parts Of the path after
ward, according to their distance. In
ter1nittent crashes and booming effects
are due chiefly to Irregularities in the
shape of the path.-Popular Science
Monthly.

This Bird Can Sew.

The tailor bird" of India is an ex-
cellent seamstress. When this bird de-
cides to build a nest it chooses a leaf
that suits it's purpose and perforates
the edges with it's beak. Then it takes
long piece of grass fiber and sews
the edges together. making a pocket.
If the leaf is not large enough, it is
pieced out with another leaf. At the
end Of the seam the bird makes a knot
in the thread to prevent unraveling.
This pocket is not the birds home,
however, but only the beginning of it.
The nest is made within the pocket.
The end of a slender branch is always
selected, and as the leaf retains it's
natural color the home of the bird is
concealed very effectively from ami
mails and other enemies Of birds.-PeO-

In the spring young mans fancy
lightly turns to thoughts of new suit.
Sunday morning when the sun was
swelling the buds, and a gentle spring
wind was playing tunefully in the
porch lattices, arrayed in q suit of pale
gray with hat to match, gloves of a
mOdish tan, English shoes of most ex-
pensive leather, and a walking stick.
Charles thoughts haG lightly turned
to thoughts of love long before the
snow was off the ground, and the
spring regalia was intended to impress
the recipient of his affections.
Louise Jones was the girl he adored,
but Louise being pretty and everything
a girl of nineteen should be had not
reciprOcated the feeling with the in
tensity that Charlie craved. 1t is so
unsatisfactory to be told that you are
a dear nice fellow and that you're liked
all to pieces, but that some one hasn't
time to be bothered these busy days.
He never sent her pound of candy
that some one hadn't "beaten him to
it, and sent two. 1t was the same
thing with flowers. Some other fell
low always got in first.
The "other fellow" the thorn that
pricked unendurably, was Roscoe
Wright, and Roscoe Wright also had
the amazing affrOnterv to be Charities

Charlie wnS going home with LCuiee
and he did II was showing in spells
and the wind was SO violent by this
time they had to stand close to TIE
houses while the heaviest gusts passed.
Louise was inclined to be merry, al
though conversation was difficult. She
leased Charlie about rushing the sea-
son, but owned up that he looked nice,
IF you can strain any sentiment out of
that you're q miracle, but Charles
soul sailed straight into the last heaven
Of delight
And when arrived at her own front
porch she asked him in, Charlie was
ecstatic beyond reply. How did he
know that, like Kitty, she knew that
he must be cold. and as she said after
wards, how could she let the poor
thing stand out there like a feeced
sheep and freeze to death?
Now the Joneses had decided, for
obvious reasons to do their painting
and papering early On account of a
certain event which the world was
soon to know would take place the last
Of April. And Saturday had seen the
last oily coat of white applied to the
living room paints.
Louise turned to toll Charlie to be
careful, but she was too late. From
shoulders to cuff he was solid white.
At the same instant her Mortified eyes
fell on the new Boston pun who was
Just disappearing under the victoria
seat in the hall with the new pearl
gray hat.
ooh, Charlie. I'm so sorry" cried
Louise. 81 should have told you about
the paint But I was so busy thinking
Of the other thing I wanted to tell you
that the paint went out of my head.
You see-yOu see--we're fixing up for
for the wedding. My wedding. Ros-
coe and I are to be married next
month. Are-aren't you surprised?
Won't you congratulate me!'
But Charlie took his hat, stick,
spring clothes and coat of paint, off
without expressing an opinion.
He'd have had pneumonia but for
Kitty Park. His family were all away,
so was Kitty's mother, but she heard
him coughing when he came home.
SO domestic Kitty, born nurse,
took him in hand and sent for the doc
tor, and between them they pulled poor
Charlie ont Of the grave.
One evening in real spring Kitty
was out watering her sweet peas, when
Charlie came into the yard.
"Say, Kitty, have you heard the
news I've got Roscoe Wrights old
place at the office. He's gone to New
York"
ooh, Charlie, I'm so glad. I love to
have you get along and get the things

"What?"

A MEASURE OF KULTUR

There have been many proofs that the Prussian idea has gone mad, but an Asso- clated Press dispatch recently printed shows to what deprav- lty Kultur has descended.
 Forgetting all ideals of the home, of womanly virtue and ot homogeneous marriage, Dr. Engel, Berlin town councillor glories in the fact that 100000 lllegitmate children are born in Prussia each year.
 He believes that this is an "evidence of the moral healthi- ness of the German race," and that Cit represents a measure of the morality of our people. ''
 Yes, it is a gauge of moral ity, indeed-a horrible measure that few will be unable to read in the right way.
