Nurses Need Automobiles.
With the true spirit of their pro-
fession, the entire staff of the Visit
ing Nurses association is making
every effort to meet the demands
made upon them. They are working
long hours each day, Sundays in
Guided. In order to make it possible
to care for the largest number of
patients in the least possible time,
automobile owners are asked to loan
these workers their cars. Six cars a
day are needed for this most neces-
sary work and it is hoped that every
body will be willing to lend car
when called upon to do so.
Business Becoming Affected.
The business of the city is being
somewhat interrupted by the disease.

into her blouse. But she only made a
little face at him as she vanished
through the door.
AS she descended in the elevator,
however, her mind was busily running
over the eligibles Of her acquaint-
ance. Some of those who had loved
and lost the charming Nell had mar
ried elsewhere; others Of them were
engaged or trying to be-also else
where. Anyway, they all belonged to
the commonplace. The man who loves

suddenly remembered that he danced
rather well, too, although she had new

known him for years!
In the meantime, Marcus Barnes,
the most commonplace young man in

OUR BANK SAVINGS SAFE
UNLESS GERMANY WINS

There seems to have been a very in
sidious propaganda carried on, obvi-
ously by secrets agents of Germany, to
the effect that savings banks deposits
are to be cOnfScated. 1t is difficult to
believe that any person in America
would credit such report for an in
slant Secretary McAdoo says that
the absurdity Of these statements is
manifest, but in order to allay the
fears of a few who might be alarmed
by such reports, he repeats officially
that these rumOrS are wholly baseless.
There is but one thing that will in
the least put in danger Of confscation
the savings of the American people,
whether deposited in savings banks
or other banks or invested in Liberty
Bonds or any other investment, and
that one thing is a German victory.
1t is not the American government
that our people should fear, but the
German government, and with the
American soldiers fighting as they are
in France and the American people
supporting their government as they
are in America, the American people,
their liberty their rights, and their
savings are safe.
The United States instead of confis-
eating or endangering the savings and
other property Of it's people is defend
ing them and theirs with all the ir-
restible might of this invincible re-
public.

Not for Me. but of Me.

Moses Selig has been in business for
a long time but never until recently
had he received a purely business let
ter from a small granddaughter. The
letter was sent by his granddaughter,
Evelyn Hahn, who formerly lived in
indianapolis, and was as follows:
Dearest Grandpa: This is a bust

Stamps and War Savings Stamps.

me to receive a position in the army

If you will, payable to cash. and will

The Wisconsin Conservation Com

will supercede the state law this year,
consequently the shooting season will
open in this zone on Monday, Septem-
Der 16, instead of September as here

ers should take notice and govern
themselves accordingly as the federal
laws are very severe and violators of
the law will be dealt with in accord

the strong probability of serving a

NOVEL WAR MAP.
Shows Where the Allied Armies Are
Each Day.

H. G. Davis of the Watertown Lum-
Der and Coal company, has displayed
in his office a novel war map which
he takes much pride in and which is
attracting much attention. The map
shows the European countries where
the armies are in the death struggle
and the positions of the Allied troops
is marked by the use of pins with
colored heads. These are used to de-
signate the positions of the French
British, Belgian, American and other
troops, and are moved each day as the
line on the western front changes.
Mr.. Davis states that he will dis.
play the map in one of the Main street
stores some Sunday so that all may
see it.
