DAVENPORT CANCELS
TERM OF GO. COURT
Lawyers Neede6e Help with
Cuestionnaires; Is Big Task;
Linn Hold Anadarko Term;
Preparations Complete.

Judge Il. e. Davenport Of the coun-
ty court announced this morning that
there would be no term Of the coIlnty
court in September which is in line
with a request received by the Judge
as chairman Of the legal advisory
board of The county from Adjutant
General o. p. Gipson. The adiu-
tant general explained his request
in a statement to the effect that
the action is to make way for the
big draft registration that occurs on
September II and the subsequent
filling out OF the questionnaire5 for
The Is to 45 class.
The adiutant general explained that
The lawyers would be needed to
serve on the advisory hoa and as
sist the registrants in filling out
their questionnaires, aud pointed
out that with a session Of court on
during September, the lawyers would
of necessity be busy attending to
their duties in that connection
The new regulations will be re
ceived by Judge Davenport, as chair
man Of the board, in a day or so, and
acting upon the suggestion Of the
military department Of the state,
will call meeting Of the board that
a rigid study of the regulations may
be made before the actual work of
filling out the questionna1res starts
The adjutant generalF-stfcssed the
importance Of al the lawyers being
familiar with the regulations in or
der to avoid certain mistakes that
he statcs were made during the work
on questionnaires Of the class of
1917.
1t is expected that the task of
completing the work on the ques-
tiQnnaires will require nearly
months time, as the v1rk on the
1917 registration in t+rs county con
sumed a total of "A days. The is to
IS registration is expected to be
some larger than the first one.
IN making his request for the
abandonment Of court terms during
the month Of September, Adiutant
General Gipson stated that he real
lied it would work hardship in
some instances, but he added that
nothing is more important than the
winning Of the war and he charac-
terized tho questionnaire and clas-
sification jobs as "the greatest task
yet undertaken"
Judge r. e. Davenport was pre-
pairing his docket for term of the
county court to be held on September
l6 and for week thereafter. The
docket was being prepared and he
was ready to announce the term
when the request to discop Lhe

Regarding The Flag.

'There is stringent state law pro-
hibiting the use of the American flag
as a drapery," said Mrs. r. B. Hart
man, chairman Of the committee IN
the prevention of the dissertation Of
the flag Of the Daughters Of the
American Revolution Of Wisconsin,
speaking of the use Of the flag draped
about the person Of a woman who APP
peared at an entertainment at the
state fair.
There is no national law protecting
the use Of the flag, but about ten
years ago, through the Daughters Of
the American Revolution, a law was
passed by the legislature forbidding
the use Of the flag for numerical
purposes and the desecrating of it in
any way, said Mrs. Hartman. The
law provides that the flag shall be
kept clear of the ground, free and
alone, and that if it is used with
other flags, it should be kept on top,
and forbids. it's use as a drapery.
According to her, there issmore des-
ecration of the American flag today
than any other time in the history Of
the country.

This is not due to deliberate wan

Hartman. Today people are filled

permost in eyeryone's mind. OF
course the idea is admirable, but a
little more general knowledge Of the
correct use of the flag is sadly needed.
Mrs. Hartman declared that the
State of Wisconsin has the strictest
laws governing the use of the flag Of
any of the twenty-five states which
have laws regulating the use of the
flag.

Don't Use Initials, A. E. F.

Relatives of men ''overthere" are
advised when writing to them, not to
use merely the initials "a. E. f."
for American Expeditionary Forces"
but to spell the three words out fully,
for then mail will be more likely to
reach the soldiers for whom it is in
tended.
The Australian troops in France
known as Australian Expeditionary
Forces" also receive mail addressed
with the initials "A. e. f." and
there is some possibility Of Ameri-
can mail going astray, therefore, in
confusing the two forces.

Governor Philip, the Repub-
lican candidate for governor, was
accused by his opponent of cater
ing to the German vote, and
therefore not entitled to support
by good and loyal citizens
Although having been opposed
to the governor since the days
of the Eleventh Story League"
common sense informs us that
there is nothing wrong with the
loyalty of the man who, born in
Wisconsin, started at the bot
tom Of the ladder, and through
his own efforts became a very
wealthy man and twice governor
of his state. That type of man
does not forsake his country and
does not need to parade his loyaity
in connection with a brass band.
Voters of this part of the 18th
congressional district, embracing
what is known as the Forest
Reserve have far better
reason for refusing to endorse
him. During his first campaign
he was a pronounced opponent of
the forestry scheme then at it's
high stage Of exploitation by
high salaried idealists of the I'm
iversity, aided by many large
owners of cut-over lands, about
a million and a half acres, which
the owners wished to unload on
the state at a large advance over
the scrap iron prices they had
previously paid for them. The
supreme court decision knocked
the air castle in the air but did
not make any provision for re-
moving the blight cast on the
area in question through it's ex-
tensive advertising as worthless
for agricultural purposes. AS
a matter of fact, we have yet to
see forty Of land within this
forestry belt that is poorer or less
productive than hundreds of for
ties in the state that have been.
successfully farmed for years, and
much of the land cannot be sur
passed, town for town, in MANY
counties of the state.
Governor Philip has never
advanced any method for re-
moving the stigma unjustly ex-
erted against the counties af->
fected, and two years ago was
openly hostile to a bill drafted
at his previous request, and
which would have tended to
hasten development of what will
some day be one Of Wisconsin's
most productive farming sec
tons, and what nature intended
it to be. In view Of these facts
we fail to see where the COVER
nor has any votes due him from
this part of the state although
his Loyalty is above reproach.
