The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1918-08-30

The record of SENATOR ROY
P. WILCOX for loyalty, not only
in the legislature, but on the
platform, has been without a
flaw. Since the close of the ses-
sion of the legislature in July,
1917, he has devoted his entire
time to war work. He has toured
the state speaking for the Red
Cross, Y. M. c. A. and x. of c.
War Funds, also for the Loyalty
Legion and spent three weeks
with a Jackie Band in the Lake
Shore counties in the Third Lib
erty Loan campaign.

The Best Plaster

A piece of flannel dampened with
Chamberlain liniment and bound over
the seat of pain is often more effectual
for a lame back than a plaster and
does not cost anything like as much.

"JACKlE" BAND ALL WEEK.
The big "Jackie" band is an
exposition of music. All of it's
members are American sailors
and soldiers, sworn to defend
their Native Land and it's people
and institutions.
Are they good musicians?
When you hear them play pa
triotic airs you will want to go
to war right away.

firmed by letters from Maj. B. NJ. Ros-
eel and Lieut.. Mccormick of Chicago.
The latter writes:
I'VE buried him on Wednesday
afternoon in the American cemetery
at the base of Fort Mont Valerien,
near Paris. Many officers who knew
him were present and from his
friends came a beautiful big wreath
of white lilacs and red roses tied with
two big ribbons of American and
French flags. Soldiers carried his
coffin to the grave and stood at at
tention while the chaplain read the
service, and after we had lowered
him in his grave a trumpeter sounded
taps His coffin was draped with the
American flag"
Capt. Cook is survived by his wife.
He was well known in musical circles
here, having been a soloist at st.
Patrick's Church and at the Church of
the Immaculate Conception.

NEW YORK. December 2s.-The
British government will be able to
transport to the United States be-
tween 10000 and 10000 American
troops in vessels under the English
flag during January. it was announced
here today by T. Ashly Sparks. di-
rector general of the British minis
try of shipping. on authority of q
cablegram from the shipping con-
troller in London.
1t was further announced that in
addition to the Mauritania, due here
tomorrow on her second voyage, with
5000 American soldiers. since the ar
mistice was signed, fourteen British
steamships with a total troop capac-
ity of $4,000 have been offered to the
United States government. and will
be ready to leave British ports or
Brest. as may be designated, between
now and January 10.
These vessels are the Toloa, Ulua,
Goentoer, Cretic, Lapiand, Havreford,
Adriatic, Belgic. Canada, Minnekahda,
Rimouski. canopic. Celtic and orca.
The Aquitania and Olympic. among
the largest of transports. also will be

pated that they or the Mauritania

entirely in the American troop move

troops has been offered to the United

ed at New York and Boston.
Owing to the various demands. it
is impossible to give an accurate esti-
mate of the number of United States
troops which can be carried in future
months in British vessels. but it is
stated that in January the British
will be able to transport from 10000

tonnage and, in every way possible,
in the future months, the British gov
eminent will assist in the repatriation

SHELBY AGAINST
 THE AMENDMENT

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 The political pot is beginning to simmer in Shelby. Very little atten- ton is paid to the race for gover- nor, but when the prohibition federal amendment is mentioned you can see the bristles rise. Shelby county will not send representative to the leg islature who is known to, favor it. It is a prohibition county. but not for prohibition from Washington, nor does it want to say what other states shall do in this matter.
 Two prominent men are being talked of to make the race. l. H. Ellis, one of the foremost members of the bar at Columbiana, and pr. F. c. Givhen, one of the leading physicians of the coun- ty Both are unqualifiedly opposed to any amendment of the federal consti- tuition and to any legislation that will deprive citizens of ordering whisky or beer for their personal use. Emmct Jones. who formerly made this his home. will carry the county by large majority for commissioner of agricul- ture. w. B. REYNOLDS.
