SCHOOL ANNIVERSARY.
Lutherans Observe Adversary Of Sem.
mary Removal.

Student members, their parents, for
mer students and professors of the
Theological Seminary of the Lutheran
Synod of Wisconsin and adjoining
states, celebrated the twenty fifth an
niversary of the founding Of the insti-
tuition on it's present site with fes-
tival on the seminary grounds on
Sunday at Wauwatosa.
The program featured by patriotic
songs and speeches, was opened at
sunrise with the singing of the "Star
Spangled Banner and the raising of
an American flag by the student body
of sixty. The band of Northwestern
college, Watertown supported the
singers and also furnished the musical
program throughout the day. The
speakers included Prof E. Kowalke of
Northwestern college.
The seminary began it's work in
Wisconsin in 1865 at Watertown,
where it remained until 1869. Then
followed period of eight years dur
ing which the seminary was coalesced
with Concordia seminary of st. Louis,
Mo-, it's students taking the course at
the southern institution. In 1878, with
the purchase Of property at Vine and
Thirteenth streets, in Milwaukee, the
seminary was again opened in this
state In 1893, with faculty con-
sisting of three professors, the school
was established at its present site.

WORK OR FIGHT ORDER
HAS JUST been ISSUED

A work or fight order has been is
sued from Washington which will af-
feet many persons. Those now en-
ployed in occupations classed as nom
essential and who do not seek work
within a reasonable time which will
help win the war, are to be classed as
slackers and their names published.
This latest move on the part of Wash
ingtOn authorities to enforce the
Crowder work or fight" rule is to be
made only after a strict and impair
tial investigation locates the zmen in
nOnessential occupations.
The rule which is to be followed is
that no man shall occupy a position
which can be filled by woman.
The Washington authorities count
on public opinion to place men who
persist in doing what will be called
worman's work in the class of slack
ers. The names of these men are tC
be published in the local newspapers
after they have been given opportunity
o get into essential occupations and
have refused to do so.
Among the occupations which have
been construed as nOnessential fol-
men are: Positions as clerks in
stores; attendants of all kinds; bar.
tenders and employees in all soft drink
and refreshment parlOrs.

LOCAL TEAMS TO EXHIBIT

Defense at the Jefferson fair the
present week. The exhibit was gotten
together in the Watertown Grain COM
pany store and consists of grains,
grasses, vegetables, corn, root crops
seeds and the like There is a wonder
uharray and it certainly is a credit
to this section of the county and most
likely will draw a prize if not first
honors. o. c. Wertheimer is looking
after the assortment and will be in
charge Of its transportation to Jeffer-
son.
Besides the Council of Defense ex-
hibit, the Boys and Girls club of this
section will also put up a fine exhibit
of farm and garden products similar
to the one at the Watertown fair, but
Of course the exhibits will be more
mature than at that time

AUTO CARS ON SUNDAY
FOR LIBERTY LOAN WORK

There have been so many requests
for permission to use automobiles on
Sunday in connection with the Liberty
Loan, that I have deemed it advisable
to make this communication.
The Fuel Administration has this to
say, "The request that pleasure mo.
tOring be discontinued for the present
on Sunday, is not intended to cover
reasonable use for necessary trans.
portation where other means are not
available What is necessary trans
pOration must be determined, not by
the Fuel Administration but by the
individual who must bear in mind the
effect of his example,"
l suggest that each county chair
man print a windshield notice similar
to the following:
THIS CAR
is being operated for patriotic
purposes in the interest of the
FOURTH LIBERTY LOAN
Sunday, September 20, 1918.
-----------COunty Chairman.
and deliver it to each person that he
desires to have use his automobile on
Sunday. l think it desirable to have a
different notice printed for each Sun
day, possibly in different colors. The
notice should be displayed both on the
front and back Of the car, and be
large enough to quickly catch the eye.
This will give notice to all persons
seeing the car on the road that the
person driving the car is not Stacking
in the conservation of gasoline.
These notices should be distributed
to no one who will use his car for
any other purpose than in the interest
OF the Liberty Loan campaign.

Federal Reserve Director OF Sales for
Wisconsin.
