HOLD LOYALTY
Met IN DElLOHA

An audience that stuffed the D0na-
hue sch0OlhOuse in the town of Del
Iona to its utmost capacity last Sun
day greeted A S. Kingsford and F. r.
Bentley when they made patriotic adj
dresses. The sch0ojh0u2e is the one
half a mile east OF the Catholic church
and is seven miles west Of DeltOn.
Supervisor Pat Dowd presideds and
made brief Introductory remarks. Mr..
Kingsf0rd discussed the liberty loan
proposition, after making a plea for
straight Americanism. For half an
hour he held his audience in the clos
est attention. and it was apparent that
the company was heartily in accord
with the exalted standaI is Of Amer1-
canism he proclaimed. At the men
ton of liberty loan bonds there was
still close sympathy between speaker
and audience. He was roundly APP
plauded, and at the close of the meet
ing was warmly congratulated on his
effort
Mr.. Bentley struck straight into a
discussion Of the war, not failing to
define the distinction between the
Hun and the German, as we know
them in this country. His greatest
anxiety seemed to be that there were
none Of the former class in his audi
ence; so the speaker had to cOnfine
his work to sending appropriate mes
sages to the Huns, if any there be in
DeIlona town.
Frequent and voc1ferous applause
greeted Mr.. Bentley, and whenever he
took a fall out of the kaiser and his
crowd of militarists the crowd seemed
pleased to show its appreciation 1t
was a splendid audience, one that de-
lights the speaker on any occasion.
The good folk of Dellona showed their
enthusiastic patriotism, and promise
to make good their apportiOnment of
$50, 1000 of bonds. They say they will
do better than that.
Miss Evelyn Hayes is the teacher
in this school, and has nine pupils in
regular attendance. The schoolhouse
carries a service flag with two stars
in it, for Edward Hinrichs and Martin
Mccarthy, who are already in train
ing camps. Several other of the young
men of that community will soon leave
for service. That is surely fine
community, and the sturdy sons of
DellOna will come to the rescue of this
country in no uncertain manner
Attorney B. G. Bentley, V. S. Pease
and son Robert also attended the
meeting.

CAPT.. ROBINSON
GOOMS CARNIVAL

Captain B. N. Robinson, son of Mr..
and Mrs. B. n Robinson, Baraboo, has
not given up the Milwaukee carnival
idea. The Milwaukee and Wisconsin
soldiers at Camp Custer plan to give
a carnival and sham battle on Milwau-
kee on April Fl.
1t is planned to give an exhibition
drill and sham battle either in the bali
park or the Auditorium, or both. A
mammoth military parade is also con-
templated.
1t is expected that by April q the
rockies who have just arrived in camp
will be able to handle the marching,
while platoons of the more experienced
men will give the various bayonet, ma
chine gun and trench warfare exhibit
tons.
A similar carnival, though not on
quite so extensive a plan, was SEIZED
uled to be held in Milwaukee last Feb
ruary %, but an order to send thou
sands of soldiers to France nipped the
proposition in the bud. Through the
efforts of Captain B. N. Robinson, Com
pany l., Three Hundred and Fortieth
infantry, the scheme has been kept
alive. A committee consisting of Fran
els E. McGovern, James w. Martin
Alvin P. Kletzsch and Walter John
was formed some time ago to arrange
the carnival.

The SCHOOL DRIVE

b
Next month will begin for our or
ganization what is called for short the
School Drive. Particulars of the plan
of campaign will soon go to all the
committees so there is no need of
more detailed explanation here. Yet
it may be worth while again to say
how high are our hopes for it's sue
cess and how deep is our belief that
the aid sent to French children by
American children will be one of the
greatest factors in that new Franco
American friendship which shall last
for all time. "
The work of the Fatherless Children
of France is peculiarly to be under.
stood by children. Many people hest
tate to disclose to children in any
thing like full measure the horrors of
battles and of lands devastated by the
hun. But to tell one child here that
there is another child in France whose
father will never come back from the
wars is allowable. To explain that
the French mother wants to keep her
child with her at home and that she
can do so if little help can come
from America--this too is right; it is
what a young American should know,
it is what he can understand. .l
AS most of. the committees already
