LOCAL CITIZENS
 MADE HIT WITH
 MCCLELLAN BOYS
Boys Come Here Without Furloughs on Account of Warm Hospitality, Says
 Sergeant Holmes

ITO tell you the truth said Sergt. police from Camp Mcclellan. now sta toned in Birmingham, the reason 50 many of the boys from Camp Mcclellan leave the camp and come to Birming- ham is because you people over here are SO dog-gone good to them that they go back and tell the glad news, and then they beat it for Birmingham, pass or no pass, in many cases.
 "The men who have been so fortunate as to share Birminghams hospitality. and there are hundreds and hundreds of them at Camp Mcclellan who have. come back and spread the news around about Birmin gham's hospitality and how royalty man in uniform is treated here, and the fellows just naturally want to come here
 There are many people in Birming- ham who do not understand the mission of the military police in Birmingham, and maybe there are some of them who look upon us not quite so kindly as they would did they know the real mis- sion of our stay here.
 DISCIPLINE NECESSARY
 ''The very first principle of the army as a business Is discipline and without that the army might as well be dis banded right now. The men have to be disciplined. And there Dre times when it has got to be made severe to taks care of all kinds and classes of men as become assembled in the army. Thoss mon who violate these absolute rules ur discipline must be dealt with accord ingly. less others fall into their habits"
 Sergeant Holmes was asked if the men were being refused passes to Birmin1- ham. and he stated:
 ''No. That Is incorrect. The men used to secure passes or furloughs through their company commanders, but now they must get these papers from their divis- ional commanders. There are many men coming to Birmingham daily. and they can get passes to this city just as quick as they could to any other city. There were certain conditions here that had to be remedied. and am glad to say that we have those matters so well in hand, through the hearty cooperation of the local police officials and the govern rnent officials, that We feel that there Is sufficient safeguard around the men while in Birmingham to protect their health.
 STRONG FOR BIRMINGHAM
 ..I am positive that they had rather come to Birmingham than any place in the south, for they have never been treated half as much like home folks anywhere else as they have here.
 Birmingham citizens recognize mans uniform and he Is shown every considera- tion in the world, and the attachment of our boys to Birmingham Is something that they will never get away from. Our hats are. off to Birmingham's peo- pie. officials. business mon and citizens. The merchants don't try to stick sol dier when he comes in to spend his money. Tey give the boys in uniform all the odds. Consequently, you know why am of the opinion that we will be here sometime"

Raising Goats in Honolulu.

The island of Kahoolawe is to be de-
voted TO lowering the cost Of living-if
production of 10000 goats for market
ing will do 1t. The board Of agricul-
ture and forestry has authorized Chair
man Arthur II. Rice to confer with the
governor and land commissioner on q
plan to withdraw the island from the
forest reserve and offer 1t for lease.
This has been done and Chairman Rice
has placed In the hands of Deputy At

drawing up the necessary papers. Ka-

1t Is believed that thousands of goats
of marketable quality can be exported

Of city lots, the tenant was entitled to

The court said: 1.-THE general prin-

to the interests OF agriculture that
such termination of his lease shall

emblements by the act OF the land
lord where the crop Is raised on

Voted in Germany and Supported
by Socialists.

When did the war begin? April,
1913; not August, 1914, as the press
always has 1t, writes Charles Edward
Russell In Harper's. The real declara-
ton of war was made by the German
reichstag when ii struck observing
Europe dumb and chill by passing, an
extraordinary war credit of $3.50, 0O0,-
600; and TO that act of bellIgerency in
time Of profound peace the socialists
In the relchstag gave practically their
support.
All men in the world accustomed to
make upon the days news an intellj-
gent diagnosis must have gasped and
stared at this portent. Unless Ger
many deliberately planned now to
bring down upon mankind the war her
armament had silently threatened these
many years, there was no good reason
for this perilous saber rafting; GER
tainly none appeared In the state Of
Europe. Yet the socialists seemed to
be for 1t; that was the Incompetent
sible fact.
August Bebel, then still active, was
the ablest and most famous of their
leaders, and criticism from many lands
seemed to goad him into defense.
1t was of a nature to chill the last
hope In any friend Of peace. Two
reasons he gave for the reichstags
action. One was that President Poin-
care Of France, who had been but new
ly elected. was warlike and danger
GUS man, and no one could tell to what
lengths he might go. The other was
that In the Balkan wars the Turks, |
taught by German officers, had been
beaten by the Serbians. taught by |
French.
The indlcious might grieve indeed
when they came upon such an offering
from such source, and anybody able
to read might see that war was close
ut hand.

long been recognized as the leading
farmer and stock raiser in this section
of the state, marketing nearly every
season 100 or SO beeves and number
of car loads Of hogs and sheep.
While he achieved success as bust
ness man, he was also liberal con-

uplifting of the community. Within
the year he had completed modern
new home, one Of the finest farm resi-
dences in the county, and prepared to

Few men in this part Of the state
had wider acquaintance or was held

mastered much Of the science of agri-

Second Blizzard Grips Country.

Hardly had the country recovered
from the big storm of week ago
when another blizzard swept over the
middle west and paralyzed traffic in
what is called by the Chicago papers
as the worst storm in fifty years. While
the snowfall was not as heavy as last
week, the gale piled it up in high drifts
and filled the railway cuts and high
ways, making them impossible while
the storm ragged. No trains reached
Edgerton from Friday evening until
Sunday night and no wheels were
turned on some of the through lines of
travel during Saturday at ALL Sunday
at p. m. rotary snow plow driven
by three engines pushed their way
through the drifts and cleared the track
from Madison to GAINESVILLE, and later
the first trains since Friday evening
were sent over the line A large num-
Der of spectators were at the depot to
see the big rotary snow plow, the first
ever used on this division. The revolv
ing circular fans cut through drifts of
any depth and hurled the snow through
chute far to the side of the track.
And to add to the other discomforts
the coal situation at the beginning of
the week was none too good. The school
buildings had supply in store for only
two or three days. Wilson laboratory
and green house was living from hand
to mouth with consumption of two
to three tons day, and the bins in
many houses were getting low. Two
cars of hard and one Of soft coal came
into local yard Monday and further
supply has been received since, while
number of other cars consigned here
are tied up somewhere along the lire.
While Edgerton is in no immediate
danger of getting out Of fuel, we are
getting closer to the line all the time
unless there is an improvement in rail
transportation.
A number of Edgerton people were
marooned at GAINESVILLE and Madison
since Friday were able to reach home.
1t is unusual for people to miss their
Sunday papers, but no mails were re-
ceived or dispatched for nearly three
days. The delayed mails have been
reaching the post office ever since. So
far Wisconsin is living up to its old
time reputation OF hard winter.
