Time is Extended.

Official announcement is made by
the war department that the date
limit Of November 20 for mailing
Christmas parcels overseas has been
extended to November 30 inclusive.
This is for the reason that the To-
cation Of certain of our divisions in
Europe has prevented prompt distri-
button and dispatch Of Christmas
package labels from members OF our
forces to their friends or relatives in
the United States. The extension Of
time is made, therefore, in order that
those receiving delayed labels or cou-
pons may still send Christmas parcels
up TO and including the date men
toned.
In order further TO insure that no
nearest relative of a member of the
American expeditlonary forces may

Red Cross Campaign

For the first time since the organi-
cation of the Wisconsin Anti-Tuber-
culosis Association ten years ago, Red
Cross Christmas Seals will not be on
sale this year. They will be used in
stead as premiums with membership
in the Red Cross, ten seals being Civ
en- to every man, woman and child
signing the Christmas Roll Call III the
monster combined campaign to be
conducted just before the holiday
season by the American Red Cross
and the National tuberculosis Asso,
citation.
This combination Of forces for the
1918 campaign does not mean the per-
manent abandonment Of the annual
Christmas Seal Sale by which up to
the present time the educational
campaign against tuberculosis in
Wisconsin has been financed. 1t is
win-the. war measure adopted for the
period of the war only and animated
by the loyal desire of the two ma
tional organizations and their loyal
branches to centralize effort, to econ
omize the time of workers, and min
imize as far as possible the number of
financial demands made on the pub
lic
The cooperative Christmas Cam
paign is official recognition of the
anti-tuberculosis campaign as war
work which must of necessity have
been undertaken by the Red Cross
were it not for the fact that it is al
ready being done by the established
anti-tuberculosis associations. Under
the agreement by which the anti
tuberculosis agencies combine their
Christmas campaign with the Christ
mas Roll Call Of the Red Cross, the
Red Cross has assumed the response
billy of financing the anti-tuberculo-
sis work for the coming year and has
appropriated $2,500,O00 for this pur-
pose. This Appropriation will be
made directly TO the National Tuber
culosis Association Each state asso-
citation receives it's apportionment
from the national association, being
guaranteed a sum equal to the gross

Good Piece Of Road Work.

Farmers in the Croker district
turned out and did some badly needed
road work this week. Commencing
al the new bridge across the Wiscon-

far as the Radcliffe Bros. farm was
graded and dressed by voluntary lab

county system is one that is Travelled
extensively and the action of the adj

their benefit will be appreciated by

Forced SlaVs to Fight.

At the outbreak of the war, in 1914,
it was plain that the Slavs in the Aus
trian armies would not willingly fight
against the entente allies. The Ger
mans knew it and the Magyars knew
it. They controlled the government,
and they at once took steps to see to
it that the soldiers from Bohemia, Mo
ravia, Croatia, Slavonia and Bosnia,
who numbered hundreds of thousands,
were so intermixed with German and
Magyar regiments that they always
formed a helpless minority.
All the disagreeable tasks-the dirty
work-Of the army were given to these
Slav troops. They were constantly
watched, and constantly abused.
But all of these precautions could
not prevent the Slav soldiers from car
rying out their purpose to desert to the
entente allies wherever possible. In
dividuals, small groups, and even, on
occasion, whole regiments passed over
to the Serbs and the Russians, not to
seek security in internment camps, but
to turn and fight their Austrian oppres-
sOrs. More than once Czech regiments
revolted, and were shot down in cold
blood by German and Magyar troops.
Hundreds were mown down in pitched
battles by machine gun fire, and 9TH
ers were executed by firing squads.
Nevertheless, at the time Austria
was making it's first big invasion of
Serbia, enough Slay soldiers deserted
to contribute very greatly to the Aus
trian debacle and disastrous retreat.
The same was true on the Russian
front when the Russians were making
their great drives through Galicia.
So numerous were these assertions
to the Russians that it was estimated,
at the time of the ignominious peace
that Germany forced on Russia, that
there were from 10000 to 100000 of
them in the Russian army. The boil
shevist government first agreed to per-
nit these forces, now generally spoken
of as Czecho-Slovaks, to keep their
arms, and to transport them to Vladi-
vostock, on the Pacific ocean, some
1900 miles from the fighting front,
that they might embark for journey
around the world to appear as foes Of
Germany on the western front. Great
Britain made plans to furnish the
ships.

were there just day too soon. IT we
had been a day later would have been
in time for the big peace celebration
on Nov. H. They started to celebrate
at about 3 a. m. The mayor wanted
us to go over again we're just fifteen
miles from the city but we were
too nearly all in. The band had their
peace celebration several days too
soon as did the whole e S., and were
rather skeptical on the next one, but

some that afternoon. The next day
we all had a crouch on.

DEER HUNTING SEASON
Hundreds of Hunters Here
On Annual Deer Staying
Trip. Game Plentiful.

The 1913 deer season opened yester-
day morning, Nov. 21st. and will con-
tinue through the last ten days Of the
month. For many days past every
northbound train has been loaded
with hunters and their equipment on
the way to their apnual camps in the
north woods.
A light fall Of snow early Thursday
morning gladdened the hearts of the
hunters and it's continuance today
gives promise of good sport, making
tracking easy and giving the chap
who gets lost in the tall uncut a
chance to back-track to the hunting
shack. IS great sport.
From all signs deer are said to be
plentiful and hunters more so. The
county clerk S Office to date has issued
935 licenses to Villas county hunters.
DoWnstate hunters camped through
out the county will swell that total
to somewhere near the fifteen hun
dred mark. The law this year allows
each hunter to kill one mature deer,
either buck or doe, but no fawns.
Conservation Warden Oberholtzer
nabbed bunch of preseason ViOlatOrS
up on Boot lake the first of the week,
said to be from Manitowoc. They
were charged with killing deer in
closed season and shining deer at
night.

Beginning Again

[ wish there were some wonderful place
Called the Land of Beginning Again
Where all our mistakes and all our heartaches
And all our poor selfish grief
Could be dropped like shabby old coat at the door,
And never put again.
We would find all the things we intended to do
But forgot, and remembered too late
Little praises unspoken, little promises broken,
And all of the thousand and one
Little duties neglected that might have perfected
The day for one less fortunate.
For what had been hardest we know had been best
And what had seemed loss would be gain.
For there isn't sting that will not take wing
When we've faced it and laughed it away
And | think that the laughter is most what we're
after
In-the Land of Beginning Again!
So wish that there were some wonderful place
Called the Land of Beginning Again,
Where all our mistakes and all our heartaches
And all our poor selfish grief
Could be dropped like shabby old coat at the
door,
And never put on again. "A. P.

Dear Walter Received your letter
some time ago and have moved SO
have been busy telling everyone about
the new place. We moved right out
of the army this time into a town
about nine months old and located
right in the middle of a. big pine
thicket. Take our meals at a restau-
rant and live in what was intended
| for an apartment house. Tt looks
rather like a barracks and feels like
one. We have regular mattresses on
the cots. We are supposed to have
a new house soon with individual
rooms, but it isn't finished yet Have
to pay for our own meals but Uncle
gives us the where. with so sail right.
Was at Atlantic City Saturday and
Sunday to play for parade and the
opening Of a new Y. M. G. A. hut
on the Boardwalk. 1t surely is some
city and we were very well treated.
Had our meals at the best hotels and
restaurants in the city. Saw hydro

over US. The people are not very
thick there at this time Of the year
and many Of the summer business
very interesting place. There are
all sorts of stores, amusement places
and hotels on one side and the ocean
on the other.
Our job here is a snap. To start
with we get up when we get ready
and maybe have little practice and
then go to dinner After that half
hour concert and then either practice
or do as we please until p. M, when
we play retreat, and then supper
They have had couple Of parades
over at Hammonton and we were in
both and have played for a couple of
dances here. The new theater opened
Saturday night and we were Civ II

CHEETAHs USED FOR HUNTERS
Are Regarded as the swiftest Of Ami.
mals--combine Speed, Courage
and Stalking Ability.

The fastest animal ON four legs is
said ~ De the choetah or hunting loop
ard, which is part Of the establish
ment Of many an Indian noble.
The cheetah is n tall, rangy spotted
cat as large as the America puma and
is the only one OF the large cats which
has been dOmesiicatcd SO that 1t may
be controlled in the open field by the
voice Of man.
This hunting cat is a wonderful com
bination OF speed, courage and stalk
ing ability; indeed, the chief weakness
of hunting with the cheetah as a sport
Is that the cheetah does everything
and has all the fun.
Any traveller who visits an Indian
potentate In the excellent hunting re-
gions along the foothills of the Hlma-
lnyas will be sure TO be taken hunting
with the princes Cheetahs. These for
nal hunts are specially dull, as
the game is commonly driven by beat
ers almost under the nose Of the cat,
which merely butchers II. On more
informal hunts, however, there Is much
maneuyering with the cart in which
the cheetahs are held until the ami
mails see the quarry, which is usually
some sort of deer. Then the cheetah
is unhooded and either proceeds by
IN elaborate stalk TO approach and kill
the deer or If IL is close to make one
of those lightning rushes from which
nothing on earth is fleet enough to es-
cape. Occasionally buck, taken by
surprise, will turn and catch the
springing cat upon his horns, thus
turning the tables completely.

OIL the SKIN Also.

In describing the means by which
the HaWaiiauS, before contact with
civilized peoples brought about the
deterioration or this splendid race,
Kept their skins in healthy condition,
V. MaCClaurhey says in the Scientific
Monthly that they not only hathed
daily in the sea and in fresh wafer
but oiled their bodies with cOconut
oil.
Commenting on this latter practice,
the journal of the American Medical
Association says the effectiveness Of
bathing is well recognized today, "but
we fail to realize the unquestionable
merit in the iniunctions with oil that
undoubtedly confer a suppleneSs and
pliancy To the skin quite contrary Ia
the extreme detergent action of the
water bath. II is not without hygienlc
significance that the skin is normally
fabricated by suhaceOus secretion
which the bath tends To remove, often
to Il degree no longer compatible with
n perfect epldermis."
