TO ORGANIZE SCHOOL BOYS
Students over Sixteen Years Old Will

Madison. B. Borden, assistant SUI
perintendent of public instruction, has
been delegated by Supt. c. P. Cary, at
the request of the Wisconsin council
of defense to organize the available
schOOlboys of the state for farm work.
Under the plan as outlined by Mr..
Borden, boys of 16 and over in the
grade and high schools of the state,
will be asked with the consent of their
parents, to enlist for farm labor during
the summer months. While the boys
will be compensated for their work,
the service is patriotic and will be of
ficially known as the loyalty labor
legion.
There are $4,000 male students in
the high schools of Wisconsin of
which 1000 come from the country.
Five thousand more, it is believed,
come from the rural communities, and

SEASON OF COMBINED COLoRS
Fashion Is Welcomed, Especially by
Milliners, Who Do Not Like Solid
Black Velvet Hat.

1t is quite probable that it is to be
a season of combined colors. This is
acceptable to the majority of women,
and even the stickler for the one-color
scheme is apt to like bit of another
color used as a facing.
A year ago several of the French de-
signers brought out the double-faced
cloth and used it to achieve a good
color scheme, and this truck led to the
widespread fashion of facing one color
With another and turning it over here
and there to give the public an idea
of what was done.
The milliners are especially delight
ed with this fashion because it gives
them a chance to get color next to the
face. The solid black velvet hat, for
instance, which has remained in fash
ion with startling persistency, had
its drawbacks. There are hundreds

WIRELESS STATION PLANNED
University of Wisconsin Is Chosen BY
the Government as Site for
New Training School.

Madison - A government wireless
station for the carrying on of impor-
tant tests and experiments is to be
established at the University of Wis.
consin in the near future, by the sig
nal corps of the. army in cooperation
with the university.
The signal corps announced some
weeks ago that the university was one
of the points that was being consid-
cred for the location of one of it's ex-
detrimental stations, and asked if the
university would cooperate by supply,
ing suitable rooms and the required
number of operators. Action was i'm
mediately taken by the regents to
make the cooperation possible, and ar.
engagements are now being made under
the direction of the physics depart
ment
The, new government station will
nor, so Far as is known, affect the
work of the university's wireless sta
ton which for some time has been
carrying on important experiments
and training wireless operators.

STATE TO RAISE $50, 900
Every Resident of Wisconsin Is Urged
to Purchase Thrift Stamps to Help
Secure Required Amount.

Milwaukee-Every citizen of Wis
consin is asked to be a worker in the
thrift campaign of 1918--that means,
beginning today. Each man, woman
and child can do this by inducing
others to buy thrift and war savings
stamps-by learning habits of thrift
so this may be done.
Wisconsin needs $4,000 ,000-and it
is the people of Wisconsin who must
contribute to the allotment. The value
to the state as part of the national
government, is in the selling of the
first thrift stamp. After a person owns
one thrift stamp, he is ambitious to
own another, and when he has sixteen
he is ambitious TO own war stamp,
which may be bought with these six
teen stamps and the addition of II
cents. In 1923 the war stamp will be
worth S.
For this reason, large institutions in
the state gave thrift stamps for
Christmas presents, in the hope that
all their employees would improve on
the company's original investment and
buy the stamps.
