 "The whole industrial and agrlauE tural situation is being subjected. to, a. very comprehensive study in order to discover any means that may be taken to protect and augment the labor sup ply appurtenant to industry and agri- culture without precluding the prompt and orderly progress of our military plans. t is confidently believed that great progress can be made along this line and that more effective measures than any yet devised can be put into operation to attain the> desireG end.

The local exemption board has re-E ceived from the governors office at Juneau the following statement from the provost marshal general relative to the next draft It is promulgated at this time "in order to compose the public mind," and is as follows:
 "The next national quota will be an nounced and apportioned among the several states as soon as pending legislation authorizing a change in the basis of computation is enacted by congress. This legislation has been passed by the senate and favorably re- ported by the house military commit tee The number that will be assumed as a basis for computation will be 8O0,O0O, which is we'll within the au- thorization of clause of section 1 of the selective service act of second increment of 50O,OOO, men increased by the recruit training units author ized by clauses of said section 1, and by the special and technical troops au- thoriked by section of said act.

trant, whose call to the cOlors has been deferred by reason of his en- gagement in agriculture, is shown to have been idle on the farm on which he is engaged or to have trifled with the deferment that has been accorded him, the boards will forthwith fnduct him into military service if his order number has been reached in the mean
 time. The effect of this expedient is to grant furloughs from service prior
 to actual call to the colors to the men
 so greatly needed in the production
 of this years crop.
 "This is not, however, the only ex- pedient that is to be adopted to con
 serve the supply of labor appurten-

 means of increasing the harvest Tor
 the agricultural season of 1918. There
 is now pending before congress, bill
 authorizing the secretary of war to
 grant furloughs, with or without pay,

kEEPING UP ~ INTEREsT

One essential thing in war work
that must never be lost sight Of is the
interest of each individual in the COM
munity toward each phase q the war
as it affects the citizen population.
Before going further the Herald wants
to pay its unstinted tribute TO the no
bic women Of this community and
county for the way in which they
have volunteered to do many neces-
sary things These women did not
have to gather clothing for the Bel
gian and French orphans but they did
so gladly and the result has been that
box after box of things have left here
to go overseas. The same thing has
taken place in furnishing clothing for
adults. Other needs have found re-
Spouse in the hearts of women with
out whose aid this war could not be
won! What we are driving at is this:
The interest these good women have
shown voluntarily is exactly the in
tcLcSb NFSLy pGLSOtls it4etil " 0VAiiet44s
should show This cannot be obtain
ed BY dismissing "our war" as a bust
ness proposition to be settled by d
cash donation Of so much per week,
per month or per year and letting it
go at that. Human liberties are not
bought so cheaply or human lives
spent so vainly that we can place the
war on a momentary basis necessary
as honey is. Our love for our men
and our cause demand our personal
interest, work and sacrifice in and to-
ward every movement that comes up
and woe betide US when we attempt
to settle the problem by striking a
balance in black and white on our
community ledger and saying, eve
have given, Lord, Yea given enough!"

AMERICA WILL FIGHT

Won Hindenburg has announced an
other postponement Of the German
victory. Now the date is, not May,
but October In the meantime the
men higher up are getting nervous,
It isn't strange. For the past three
weeks American troops arrived in
France at the rate Of 100000 per
week. Already they total 100000 In
October, was it, Won Hindenburg e?
By that time, at the present rate,
100000 American soldiers will be on
the firing line. Saturday the Ameri-
can house of representatives, without
a dissenting vote, broke all records
for national financing. For four hours
it appropriated money at the rate of
s., 900, 900 per minute. The total was
upwards of $4,000, 100000. The first
of the year win see 100000 khaki
uniforms at the front. Spring will
make it 100000 All records in ship
and aeroplane production are now be-
ing broken. Early in 1919 an allied
a;r feet capable of sweeping the enc
my from the skies, will back our lines.
Mounting millions Of men, supported
by growing billions Of money, are
moving steadily and irresistably to-
ward Berlin. 1t is the greatest river
Of human power ever conceived. The
flood accommodating at its source will
sweep on with overwhelming momen-
tum. Germany might ; we'll at
tempt to stop the rush Of the earth in
its orbit. 1t is not an army, not a
nation. 1t is civilization, the unified
and organized forces Of world will
and genius and conscience, that con-
eentrate for the blow They who
lead are Christianity and Humanity.
The international outlaw sees no per
sonal sanctuary in "the honors of
war" Pursued by dead babies and
live men, the best refuge that can
await him is a shortcut TO he'll. Into
his soul has come the great fear of
the hunted, Dear Won Colt, it is hor-
rible, America viii fight,-La Crosse

A MAN WITHOUT A COUNTRY

Workers in the Liberty Loan and
War Savings campaigns have, more
than once, been asked by citizens
whether there is any law compelling
them to subscribe or any penalty for
not subscribing.
Learning that no statute exists pro-
viding a punishment for failure to
perform this duty of citizenship, they
have declined to invest their money,
although many Of them have been
amply able to do so.
But while there IS no statute enact
ed by congress to compel a subscrip-
ton for Liberty bonds or the purchase
of War Savings stamps there is high
er and more compelling law than any
legislative enactment.
1t is the law of public opinion, than
which, to the man of any sensibilities
whatever, there is no more potent
mandate.
The man who IS able to help his
government IN large or small meas
ure, by the purchase of its securities,
by loaning his money to it, and who
refuses to do it, stands, by that act,
convicted Of complete lack of patriot
ism OF loyalty to the country which
has given him his home and his liveli-
hood
And, knowing that he stands thus
convicted he becomes, in the minds of
his fellow men, not a citizen of the
United States, not neighbor, but the
most tragic of all figures, man with
out country.
And the force of public opinion, the
loss of the respect and friendship OF
his neighbors, the loss of the right to
be considered by them a neighbor and
a friend. these are greater penalties
than a statute could infict.-Milwau-
kee Sentinel.

Here is a letter that IS certain to
prove of interest to people in this

almost every neighborhood, and peo-
pie should know what to do in like
circumstances:

nine years ago and it cured me of fiux
(dysentery). l had another attack
of the same complaint some three or

AGE NO BAR
Everybody in Yiroqua is Eligible

Old people stopped with suffering,
Middle age, courageously fighting,
Youth protesting impatiently;
Children unable to explain;
All in misery from their kidneys
Perhaps a little backache first.
Urinary disorders, dropsy may
quickly follow.
Doan's Kidney Pills are for weak
kidneys.
Are endorsed by thousands.
Here's Viroqua testimony.
Mrs John Clark, 400 E. Gillette St.,
says:"Doan's Kidney Pills are nothing
new to me because | have taken them
off and on for years when my back
has been lame. At these times have
gotten a box of Doan's Kidney Pills
from Davis Drug Store and they have
always promptly relieved me Of this
trouble. By taking Doan's this way
occasionally 1 enjoy the best of health
and l am pleased to recommend them
to all my friends. Doan's Kidney Pills
deserve great credit"
