MORE SELECTMEH
!. LEAVE FOR CAMP
twenty-five Go to Camp Taylor,
Ky, to Train for the Great
War
(From Saturdays daily.)


Twenty-Five more young men have
gone to camp to train for the great
war-to make the world a safe place
in which to live.
The exercises in their honor were
held on the north side Of the court
house, a large number of persons bel
ing present to hear the music, address
and other numbers. Mayor George T.
Thuerer presided and the invocation
was given by Rev. J. Lloyd Smith OF
the Congregational church.
THE ADDRESS
The address was given by Rev. c.
E. Weed, pastor of the First M. E.
church. He said that the community
thought when the first young men
went away that a great gap had been
left, but that we had come to realize
that other gaps come again and again.
If need be greater sacrifices must be
made. The fathers and mothers are
coming to realize that one of the great
est prerogatives is to be able to pro-
vide sons to defend our country and
to fight for liberty. He spoke of the
genuine patriotic spirit manifested by
a farmer a few days ago when his son
went to a camp. When the farmer
was asked what he intended to do,
now that his son was gone, he replied,
"I'n go at the job and do it," This is
the true American spirit.
SEEKING TRUE LIBERTY
The speaker said the people of Vir-
ginia came to avoid prisons, and the
people of Massachusetts to gain reli-
gious liberty. Then came the struggle
for states rights, and other phases OF
the everlasting struggle to gain higher
ground. It is necessary for civiliza-
ton to go through the forge in order
to achieve the ends desired. Only
now are we coming to realize what lib
erty really means. The world is COM
ing into new liberty. There will new
er be a Utopia, for there will be prog
ress as long as there is Americanism,
as long as there is Life.
Rev. Weed told the young men they
were not going to fight for cities, for
wealth, for loot, but for liberty-the
thing that is worth while. He de-
clared this country would fight until
the war was won.
It was strong address, and he was
frequently applauded.
The exercises included musical num-
bers by the Baraboo Marine band and
the procession marched to the station
in the following order:
