FROM TIE TRIBUNE FILES
Sixty Years Ago, 1853.

There being quite difference of opin-
ion as to the cost of erecting county
buildings, we have taken some pains to
ascertain from builders and others who
have the means of knowing the propable
cost of court house such as would be
needed for this county. One gentleman
who has been near thirty years engaged
in such work as master builder, gave
1t as his opinion that building the size
of our present court house cannot be
erected and completed for less sum
than S25, 600. Persons who suppose that
county buildings can be erected for
$1,000 or $4,000. as advocated in the
Dodgeville papers, know but little of
the cost of building.

PEACE OFFENSIVE

GREATER NEED FOR WAR

BIG DRIVE SET NOV. 11-18

Madison, Wis. That the bid for
peace by the Teutonic nations has &C.
centuated the military need of the
Army Y. NJ. c. A., knights of Column.
BUS, Jewish Welfare Board, Salvation
Army and the other three organiza.
lions allied in the United War Work
campaign, is pointed out by officials
heading the campaign in Wisconsin.
They are unanimous in the contention
fhat should peace actually be de
clared within the immediate future
of which they entertain but slight
Aope-the need of these war welfare
agencies will be greater by the en-.
listed men than even at present.
The inevitable reaction on the part
of the men under arms will be such
IN the opinion of State Executive
Chairman Emerson Ella, as to demand
hvery possible effort on the part of
the organizations merged in the Unit
ed War Work Campaign, to protect
ehe morals of the enlisted men.
rWhen peace is declared, no matter
when that may be, the morals of the
men will be at stake to an ever
greater extent than their morale is
now" declared Mr.. Ella.
No Time To Let Up.
State Campaign Director Louis c.
Bradshaw is equally emphatic that
these seven war welfare agencies, the
Army Y NJ c. A., the Y. w. c. A.,
National Catholic War Council includ-
ing the X. of c., Jewish Welfare Board,
War Camp Community Service, Ameri-
can Library Association and the Sal.
walton Army, will play an important
part among the armies of the allied ma
tions after peace has actually come.
I'm strong appeal to the officials who
will work in the big campaign, Nov.
II to Is, he urged that every effort be
bent to put Wisconsin well over its
quota of SO 100000.
"This is no time to let up on the
tremendous work these seven organi-
zations are doing among the troops
and they must be given the fullest
financial support" said Mr.. Bradshaw.
"They deserve the complete endorse
ment of Wisconsin and the rest of the
country-and this endorsement is best
expressed through the pocketbook."
Much Work After War.
Local leaders of the United War
Work Campaign will strive to attain
the full quota of Wisconsin within
period of twentyfour hours. They are
nrging the respective county chairmen
that through a whirlwind campaign
the enemy will be given another
striking instance of this nations unity
and determination to carry on" to
full victory
Not only that, pointed out Chair
man Ella, but the gigantic task cut out
FOR the unified war welfare agencies
after the war makes it imperative
that nothing be left undcne to mar
the success of the coming campaign.
One authority recently stated that APP
proximately two years will be required
10 effect the rehabilitation of the va
rious belligerent armies while another
asserted that three years would in all
probability elapse before the Austria
han warriors would be landed on their
native shores after the declaration of
peace.
