DAYLIGHT SAVING
SCHEME IN FORCE
Few Late for Church---Town Clock
Gets Into the Game Early on
Saturday Evening"
(From Mondays daily.)

On Sunday morning the daylight
saving scheme went into effect and
most people reached the churches on
time A few had to make their tril
bies vibrate quite rapidly, however
The trains which left the cities before
2 o'clock arrived one hour late at all
stations after the clocks had been
pushed forward one hour. The clock
on the courthouse in Baraboo was Civ
en- a whirl on Saturday evening, and
this saved the janitor the pleasure OF
remaining awake until the official turn
ing time set by the government. A
few persons did not know what had
happened to the ticker, and arrived
home a little earlier than planned
thus getting a good start for the next
day.

THE MAKING Of
AN AMERICAN
Miss Ida Mertzke Gives Review of
New Volume Before Twentieth
Century Club---New Work Con-
Sidered

The meeting of the Twentieth Cen
tury club Thursday afternoon was
presided over by the vice-president,
Mrs. w. H. Hatch, in the absence Of
the president, Mrs. Astle, who was at
Madison attending the meeting Of the
women's committee of the state coun-
Gil of defence.
Miss Ida MertZke gave clear and
comprehensive review of a fascinat-
ing book, "The Making of an Ameri-
can," by Ravage, which was followed
by a general discussion. The secretary
read communication from the state
president, Mrs. Harvey, concerning a
magnificent piece of war work to be
done by the general federation of wom-
ems clubs as a contribution OF the
club women of America to the world S
need. In cooperation with the nation
al committee on training camp activi-
ties, it is proposed to establish fur
Tough houses in France, $250,000 to be
raised by the clubs. This project has
a strong appeal, as it supplements the
work Of the Y. M. G.. A. and the Red
Cross, and meets a need not yet pro
vided for The club women of the
country are uniting in the effort with
enthusiasm as means of giving loyal
support to our soldier boys and help
inb them to return to us sane, clean
and we'll balanced. The club voted to
solicit individual contributions from
each member, the vicepresident to
have charge.
At the next meeting in two weeks
officers for the coming year will be
elected, and the members are remind
ed that club dues should be paid at
that time.

WRITES OF WORK
At Cl|NT0NV|LLE
Secretary c. H. Copley Reports
Much Activity in a Small Wis
consin Town

Just a few lines of information re-
garding the Y. M. c. A work with the
soldiers at Clintonville.
The Four Wheel Drive factory is a
large establishment in small town
They employ force of 1900 men, the
output is 13 auto trucks each day,
and l understand each truck costs
the government $350000.
The soldiers come from all parts
of the U. S. to learn to operate this
truck and then go back to their var
ious camps and teach others soldiers
to operate it.
AS I mess with the soldiers at the
Barricks it gives me an opportunity
to learn much about the Y. M. G. A.
work in all army camps, and many
other activities over the country.
There are about 800 soldiers coming
ing each month to learn and get the
instruction.
Our Y. M. C. A work is similar to
that at Camp Douglas last year, and
is greatly appreciated. Clintonville
is a fine little town, and is growing
finer since the government put the sa-
looms out of business last Saturday.
AS I am called to Chicago the first
of the month by the war work council,
l shall do my best and patriotic duty
by stopping off at good old Baraboo
and plant my vote on election day.
Sincerely yours,
C. H. COPLEY.

DEAD GLUT THE
FIELDS OF FRANCE

The Germans have failed in their
plan to break the allied army to bits
by enormous weight and capturing
whole divisions. Instead the field of
battle is strewn with the German dead
much greater than ON the other side.
Many believe the German loss is so
serious it will greatly weaken the
central powers.
Germany has refused safe passage
to ships loaded with grain for Switzer-
land.

ADDRESS BY THE MAYOR
Mayor G.. T. Thuerer presided and
spoke word Of encouragement to the
young men who had been called to the
colors to fight in the war, which he
said had been brought on by the des-
pOtic rulers in Germany. He assured
the young men that the people at
home were standing back of those in
the army-back of those just going to
camp. He urged that every one do all
that he could for the gOvernment-all
should be loyal supporters. He said
if we did not do this, from what has
recently happened in France, we can
not saw how the war will come out.
He urged support for the liberty loan,
the purchase of thrift stamps and aid
to the Red Cross.
AGAINST LIQUOR
The mayor was loudly applauded
when he spoke a few words against
manufacture and sale of intoxicat-
ing drinks. He declared the govern
ment should bring an end to the bust
ness and said that all were better off
without it.
ARRAIGNS THE GERMANS
Rev. L. c.. Ferguson, rector of Trim
ity Epicopal church, in opening said
he was proud of Mayor Theurer for
the utterances he had just given He
was glad to see him take the right
stand. The speaker dwelt upon the
atrocities of the Germans, how they
had devastated one country after an
other for their personal gain. He
said there should bt no relaxing until
Germany was smashed. Mr.. Fergu-
son said words of encouragement for
the young men just leaving to fight
because Germany had trampled upon
the American flag, not only beyond
our borders but here at home. This
was a time, he said, when the Easter
bells and the drums of war wove their
notes together.
After a word by the mayor, the
march was made to the station in the
following order:
Baraboo Marine Band
Boy Scouts With Flags.
Honor Men, With George Werlich
Exemption Board.
Veterans and Citizens.
George NJ Werlich is at home from
the army and was given a place OF
honor in the formation.
A large number were at the train
to see the young men go.
