ARDEN SIPP TRANSFERRED
To DUTIES AT WASHINGTON

Arden Sipp spent Sunday at the
home of his father in Church street,
prior to leaving for Washington, D..
c. to take up government duties there.
He has been connected with the
government in the department Of pro-
duction engineering since January and
was stationed at Dayton, Ohio.
The department which Mr. Sipp is
member of is subdivision of the
United States signal corps and is di-
rectly responsible and must supervise
and o. K. all electrical appliances and
parts used on aeroplanes. All designs
must originate in this department.
Ships" as the planes are called,
are no longer a mythical thing. They
are the eyes of the army and play a
far more important part in present
day battles than the average individ-
ual would suppose" said Mr.. Sipp in
an interview with News reporter
Mr.. Sipp spoke Of the Liberty motor
now being produced in large quaint
ties. His talk was of cursory nature
as members of the department at
present are not allowed to divulge
any information of a leading charac-
ter. That in the near future a real
treatise on this most recent and mod
ern ally of the armed forces would
appear was his opinion, when asked
concerning it. Most people know that
this piece of art, for such it is, is be-
ing produced, but the production is
much greater than they imagine.
Mr.. Sipp left Sunday night for
Washington to take up his new duties

THOUSANDS OF DOCTORS
NEEDED IN THE ARMY

About twenty thousand physicians
cal Reserve Corps. Of these seven
teen thousand are in active service. Of
the remaining three thousand prob
ably only about two thousand will be
available for service with the second
draft army. There must be six thou
sand and more to meet the needs of the
immediate future, says Kansas City
paper Of recent date.
TO help obtain the six thousand
Maj w. H. Luedde, NJ r. c., of ST.
Louis, who is taking a medical census
of the state, spent day with DR.. Geo.
c. Mosher, vice chairman of the Jack
son county branch of the general med
ical board of the Council of National
Defense, and with other members of
the committee, outlining a plan devils
ed for a moral draft of all eligible
physicians for the army.
BY the plan, all physicians of mill
tary age not disqualified for physical
reasons. or by dependency or other
satisfactory causes, will fall automat-
ically into Stacker class, Major
Luedde said.
Many physicians of draft age" he
said, would, as officers, have salaries
sufficient to maintain their families
while in the service, yet under the
draft regulations they are placed in
Glass ". The plan we are putting
into operation, which mas been ap-
proved by the defense council, pro-
vides volunteer medical service
corps, to which all physicians who
have legitimate reasons to remain at
home will be assigned. Each member
will have a badge, and that insignia
will indicate it's owner is doing his
bit. Those who neither enter active
service nor the volunteer service
corps will be recognized as slackers."
THE urgent medical needs of the
new army" he said, must be sup
piled from the civilian medical popu-
lation, and futther calls must be
made, even upon those localities which
have furnished their quota for the
first draft army"

PULL BARBERRY BUSHES
SAVE The WHEAT CROP

Pull the dangerous barberry bushes
and save the wheat CROP is the ap
peal sent out by the agricultural eX-
tension service of the University of
Wisconsin and approved by the State
Council of Defense.
Have you the European barberry
(alsO called tall or common barberry)
on your premises? If so, it is your pa
triotic duty to get rid of it at once
Wisconsin grain crops are in danger
The black or stem rust of grains
makes it's first appearance in the
spring on this bush and spreads from
it to the wheat Oat, rye and barley
fields. In this way widespread cpl
denies of rust disease have caused
enormous losses to the farmers in
past years and have greatly reduced
the food supply.
There are three different varieties of
barberry commonly planted in Wis
consin which represent two distinct
kinds of plant.
The common or tall European bar
berry of which there are two forms,
the one with green leaves and the one
with purple leaves. Both of these are
dangerous
The low spreading Japanese bar
berry, which is harmless.
The dangerous kind The common
or tall barberry can always be told by
it's upright growth, 8 to 10 or more
feet high, gray branches and the fact
that spines are usually in threes and
the red to purplish berries hang in
clusters. There is practically no diff
ference between the green and pur-
pie varieties except in color of leaf
Both harbor the rust, therefore are
dangerous and should be removed at
once. 49, N@
The harmless kind The Japanese
barberry is a low, spreading, much
branched shrub, two to four feet high,
the brown branches bearing one spine
in a place and the rows Of bright red
berries hanging singly or in twos.
This does not bear the rust, therefore
| is harmless and can be grown safely.

LOAN VS.. TAXATION.

x While soliciting for the First
x and Second Liberty Loans the
x writer occasionally found a man
who refused for various reasons
to subscribe, stating that the gov
eminent should raise the money
x by taxation. The man evidently
x did not give the subject any seri-
Gus thought.
x On the three loans if the gov
eminent resOrted to taxation it
would mean extra taxes to the
x amount Of about $50 for every
man, woman and child in the
United States. That money would
be given outright.
loan. On the same basis every
man, woman and child i'm the
United States loans $50 to the
government which will be repaid
with interest at approximately
AZ percent. There is a wide diff
ference between giving outright
and lOaning on the best security
in the world.
Just think it over a moment or
two and do not advance the taxa,
ton theory again. Not at least
until we are compelled to resort
to it, which there is little danger
of doing If every one will loan a
portion of their savings.

State Highways
THE ROAD MARKING.

Another feature of the operations of
the State Trunk Highway Act which
the public will quickly notice and ap-
preciate is the system of road mark
ing. 1t is the opinion Of good judges
that when Wisconsin's system is road
marked after the plans made we will
have the best co-ordinated road mark
ing system in any state in the country
Under the plan adopted each of the
state trunk highways will be given
numbers by the state highway depart
ment. Road markers will be placed
on each mile Of the trunk highways,
and these markers will have the num-
Der of the road thereon. The official
map to be issued by the state will be
numbered accordingly.
If one wishes to go between any two
points, he may look at his road map
and find say, that the road between
those two points is numbered TO- All
that will be necessary for him to do
is to follow the road signs on each
mile with the number 10 thereon In
addition, to having the number of the
road, each road sign will give the num-
Der OF the mile from terminus These
road signs will be four feet above the
ground. They will be painted white
On the top will be a triangle in which
will be the inscription Estate Trunk
Highways" with the number beneath
and underneath the triangle, the num-
Der of the mile
n 10
signs, as follows, will be placed on the
entire system:
At every danger point, such as a
dangerous crossing or sharp curve or
steep hill there will be a danger sign
with red background with the word
danger" painted on in white. Ap-
preaching a school or church there
will be red caution sign with the
word SLOW" At every county line
will be roadsign, one-half standing
in one county and the other half in
the other county. Each side of the
sign will have inscribed thereon the
name OF the county and the county
highway commissioner. Each patrol
section will be similarly marked. a
sign standing thereon indicating the
patrol section; for instance: Dane
County Patrol Section 9, John Smith.
patrolman; Dane county, patrol 10,
VIM. Jones, patrolman Finally, at
the junction of the main highways,
signs will be erected giving the names
of the principal cities and villages on
the intersecting roads.
AS has been stated, this will give us
thoroughly road marked lsystem.
The marking will not only be an ex-
cellent guide for tourists, but Will en-
able the state to accurately check the
maintenance work, each patrolman
having certain fixed patrols between
mile posts. The placing of the names
of the patrolmen on each patrol and
OF the county highway commissioners
on the county line is going to act as
a stimulus in arousing a friendly ri
valry between them.
