School Meeting Results.

At the annual school meeting for
the graded school district of Eagle
River, Monday night. M. Frankel
defeated Oscar Gunderson as direc-
tor to succeed Mrs. Mae Lawler, by
a vote SO to 81.
Other business transacted was in
hearing and accepting the report of
the treasurer which showed balance
OF about 900 on hand, $4,000 was
raised for various school purposes for
the ensuing year, an increase of $1,000
over last years levy but which was
shown to be necessary for proper fl
nancing of the school next year.
That the chief incentive of many
in attending school meeting lies in
the opportunity generally given to
elect or defeat some perfectly re-
spectacle townsman and neighbor,
was again demontrated when after
1876 had cast their votes for director,
less than dozen remained to tran
sact the business that should be of
interest to every parent, and every
taXpayer.

Worth ReHelnberin

The additional stanza to America"
is proving popular wherever it is sung,
containing as it does, SO much of the
real sentiment in the hearts of all
Americans. The stanza originated in
Canada and became widely adopted in
the Dominion as thousands upon
thousands of her splendid men went
overseas. When this country entered
the conflict the stanza found its way
across the border and is becoming
generally adopted. 1t follows:
God save our splendid men.
Send them safe home again.
God save our men.
Make them victorious,
Faithful and chivalrous,
They are SO dear to us.
God save our men.
The stanza was sung with good
effect at the July Fourth patriotic
pageant.

British Losses for June.

London, June 29.-British casual
ties reported during the month of
June totaled 141,147. This compares
with total casualties reported during
the month of May of 166,S02.
The losses for June were divided as
follows:
Killed or died of Wounds-O Ulcers,
BIG; men, 1884.
Wounded or missing Officers, 3,6l9;
men, 119,2l8.
The losses reported during the
last eight days, rounding out
the weekly reports for the month
were:
Killed or died of wounds Officers
AZ; men, 4,773.
Wounded or missing Officers, 553
men, 1924
Such statements as the above have
frequently been issued within the
past four years and still there seem
TO be large qlumber of people in the
United States who oppose raising the
army age limit as unnecessary for our
future requirements, despite the fact
that the American casualties are al
ready 9,O8l in number.
In addition to strong belief in uni
versa military service anda standing
army in keeping with our power as a
nation even in time of peace, we are
also convinced that the sooner the
present age limit is raised to fifty
years of age the better for our coun.
try The slogan Eventually, why
not nowg" seems to be appropriately fit
ted to the impending increase i'm the
size of our army. Listen to the Rusk
County journal:
How any man can ask for the
drafting OF boys and leave robust men
OF 81 to so to loaf at home is past
our understanding. The present gen.
ration of men of 30 to so have en-
enjoyed the protection and benefits OF
the nation during period of peace.
They owe the nation heavy debt for
these benefits. They have property
which has been protected and which
the present war is waged to protect.
If they are unwilling to do their
share, they are slackers who should
be taken by the slack Of the trousers
and thrown into the trenches.
The future Of the world depends on
the boys, not on the old jiggers who
have had their inning. 1t may not be
good politics, but it would certainly
be Justice to make the older men
bear the burden of war-make them
protect and pass on the precious her
itage that was preserved and passed
on to them by the boys of 81.

Have You Enlisted?

Wisconsin's stay-at-home army was
recently lined up in the War Savings
pledge campaign, and Uncle Sam
now understands who is with him
and who is doubtful, for the registry
lists at the school houses are being
compiled and sent to Washington,
just as are the names of the boys
who have gone across and many of
States hero roll.
The real lighters of the stay-at-
home army are those who will de.

nay, even necessity buy War

may never return to any luxury, or
