WE DON'T KNOW
ALL THAT HAPPENS


Marguerite Clark says that when
she became famous In the moving
picture game It was a sad blow to
her vanity to find that most peo. lie
did not know that she had ever
been ON the stage. Yet she had been
q star in six comic opera and dra-
matte productions and had earned
as much as six hundred dollars q
week before she ever dreamed Of
going into pictures.
Many things happen in this world
that lots Of people know nothing Of.
A short time ago cub reporter on
New York newspaper took up read
ing as sport. Somebody gave him
a. novel by Thackeray. He read 1t
and enjoyed It enormously. He en-
joyed 1t so much that he talked
about 1t. and he talked SO much that
one Of his older and less kindly as
sociates tumbled to the fact that he
had not heard yet Of Thackeray's
death-although 1t happened In
1868. So the suggestion was gently
made to the reporter that II he liked
Thackeray 30 much why didn't he
60 and interview him for the Sum-
day paper. To this idea the young
man rose like trout. Where does
Thackeray live? he asked. In Yonk-
ers. was the quick reply. But where
abouts in Yonkers? Oh, Just get off
the train and ask anybody. Every
body knows Thackeray. the great
writer. Some guy-that Thackeray!
Has big house in Yonkers: any
body will point 1t out to you. So
began the trip to Yonkers and en-
lightenment.
All men who have dealings with
the public know that great num-
bers Of human beings who are we'll

grossly ignorant in another. Book
publishers who handle Dickens
works frequently get letters to Dick

ton Of Don Quixote was made a
few years ago there were some calls
from the gallery for the author. Yet
Cervantes. the author, Is practically
dead--having passed away In 1915.
When The American Magazine pub
lished the story about Cecil Rhodes
one very interested reader. an ex-
ceedingly smart and energetic young
man told the editor. how much he
had enjoyed the article. and then
said that he had never heard Of
Rhodes before. When Billy Sun
day roasts Bob Ingersoll. the result
is that hundreds OF people go to the
library to find out who Ingersoll
was. They don't even know wheth-
er he is or was. This Is an abso-

York Public Librsry. (The girl who

Save 100000 Babies--Get a Spare Deal
for the Children

This should be the slogan of the
nation wide campaign fo- the pre-
vention of infant mortality. We,
as nation, must heed the ex-
perience of our Allies and take
quick and decisive action along this
line. About 300, 900 children under
five years of age died in the United
States during the first year OF the
War. At least one half of these
were preventable deaths. providing
the correct care had been given.
The future vitality and strength
of our nation depends on the vital
|ity of its children. Therefore. the
children at home must be cared for
equally as well as our boys "over
there. 1t is as truly war meas
ure as any of the many activities in
which we are now engaged, to help
the nation win the war.
England, in 1916, reduced her in
FAINT mortality rate to the lowest on
record. France and Italy are not
tagging behind. Neither should
we. Therefore, the Children s
Bureau Of the u. S. Department Of
Labor. thru the Child Welfare
Department of the Woman s Com
mittee of the Council OF National
Defense, calls upon the United
States to make this second year OF
the War, "Children's Year. !"
Each local council has is child well
fare committee which is to cooperate
in carrying out the proposed pro-
gram for the year.
The first part of the activity OF
these committees will be nation
wide weighing and measuring test
of young children after census has
been taken.
Washburn s Committee is asking
for the cooperation OF every in
dividual in the community, for upon
this depends the. success of the
children year.
Everyone can help. All who will
do their bit for children s year, will
find some way to serve the com
mittee.

Campaign for Funds to be Waged
May 10th to May 9th
This Noble Institution is Deserving of
All That One Can
Give.

Another drive to raise funds
for the American Red Cross
will be waged between the days
of May goth to 9th. You're q
regular, red blooded, true blue
American. You love your coun-
try. You love that Tapping,
swapping old flag. Your heart
thumps hard when the boys
march by, and you want to help
to win this war. You want to
do what you can to relieve the
suffering of the boys who have
gone to the front to do battle
for liberty and justice.
The week of May 10th is going
to be your opportunity to help.
At that time you are going to
have a chance to do your bit for
the greatest humanitarian in
stitution the world has ever
known.
Every one of our readers know
just what the Red Cross stands
for. They know what this or
eanization has done for our boys
who have gone to the front, in
the way of supplying clothing,
comforts, etc. They know what
a great work is now before the
Red Cross as the boys are near
ing the battle line where many
will be killed and wounded.
The job of taking care of our
wounded boys is up to the
American Red Cross. They will
not fall down in their work if
the American people will supply
the funds to keep the great in
stitution going.
America has never Iallen
down when an appeal has been
made for a cause as worthy as
this. 1t is not going to fall
down now.
The Red Cross of the United
States is asking for a hundred
million dollars to carry on the
work. 1t is a very modest sum
considering the world of good
that this institution does. Every
cent of it goes into war work. Il
goes to purchase the material to
make supplies and the women Of
the country willingly donate
their services in doing the work
Prepare to give when the
solicitor calls. Give all you fee
able and do not quit until your
heart says stop.

War Gardens

Indications are that this year
will be a record breaker for war
gardens. 1t seems that those
who did not raise their own
vegetables last year are getting
the habit and beginning to
spade up any small plots of land
which they have available.
This is the right spirit and is
prevalent throughout the coun-
try. Every war garden that we
plant is saving just that much
food for our soldiers who are
fighting for us "over there"

Bayfield, County Called Upon to Fur
niSh That Number
For the Next Draft. Men Will Leave
During Latter Part
of May.

Wisconsin must furnish ten
thousand men for the National
Army and of this number Bay
field County's quote is thirty
four. These men will be called
to the cantonement camps dur
ing the latter part of the present
month,
This is in addition to the large
numbers who have been called
to the colors during the past two
weeks and is expected to increase
the size of the United States
Army 250,000 men.
Bayfield, county's quote on
this draft is small compared with
that of other counties. This is
because of the fact that this
county has furnished many
volunteers and many voluntary
inductions into the service in
addition to the draft.
Milwaukee county is hardest
hit by the draft and will furnish
more than 1000 men. Three
counties, Washburn, Douglas
and Sawyer will not be required
to furnish men on the draft,
having already supplied their
quotos.
|~ The draft board of Bayfield,
county is now getting out notices
to the men who will be called for
the next contingent and notices
to appear will soon go forward
to the men.

- THE SON -

But thru the clouds the sun would
shine,
And vital memories be mine.''
Gods test OF manhood is, know,
Not "Will he conner" but did he
go?''
My son well knew that he might
die,
And yet he went, with purpose
high,
To fight for peace, and overthrow
The plans of Christ's relentless toe..
He dreaded not the battle field;
He went to make fierce vandals
yield,
If he comes not again to me
| shall be sad; but not that he
Went like a mana hero true
His part unselfshly to do.
My heart will feel exultant pride
That for humanity he died.
Forgotten gravel" This selfish
plea
Awakes no deep response in me
For, though his grave may not
see,
My boy will ne 'er forgotten be.
My real son can never die;
lis but his body that may lie
In foreign land. and shall keep
Remembrance fond, forever, deep
Within my heart of my true son
Because of triumphs that he won.
1t matters not where anyone.
May lie and sleep when work is
done.
1t matters not where some men
live;
If my dear son his life must give,
Hosannas | will sing for him,
E EN- though my eyes with tears \
be dim.
And when the war is over, when
81 His gallant comrades come again,
I'll cheer them as they re march, y.
ing By,
Rejoicing that they did not die.
And when his vacant place see
My heart will bound with JOY that
he
Was mine so long, my fair young
SON
And cheer for him whose work is
done.

Edward Markham, under the un-
patriotic title, 81 Did Not Raise My
Boy to be Sol dier,' wrote this
stanza:
"Oh mothers, will you onger give
your sons
To feed the awful hunger of the
guns.
What is the worth of all these
battle drums
If from the field the loved one
never comes?
What all these loud hosannas to
the brave
If all your share is some forgotten
grave?"
DIR. James D. Hughes, for over
thirty years Superint endent of Edu-
cation of the schools of Toronto,
Canada, answered this poem. Great
er significance is given to the answer
by the fact that DIR. Hughes own
son was killed in battle and lies
somewhere in France" His an
swer follows:
God gave my son in trust to me;
Christ died for him, and he shouldbe
A man for Christ. He is his own,
And Gods and mans; not mine
alone.
He was MOI mine to give" He
gave
Himself that he might help to save
All that Christian should revere,
All that enlightened men hold dear.
|"To feed the gunsl" o torpid soul!
Awake, and see lite as a whole.
When freedom, honor, justice,
right,
Were threatened by the despot's
might,
With heart aAame and soul alight.
He bravely went for God to fight
Against base savages, whose pride
The laws OF God and man defed;
Who slew the mother and her child,
Who maidens pure and sweet defied.
He did not GO ito feed the guns,
He went to save from ruthless Huns
His home and country, and to be
A guardian of democracy.
what if he does not GOMEZ" you
say;
All well My sky would be more
gray,
