Here's a Straight Tip.

Sergt. Godfrey Willoughby, form
er reporter on the Watertown Leader,
who enlisted from Milwaukee in the
signal corps last spring, was anxious
to learn when his battalion would
leave for France and so the other day
he asked Capt. Robert S. Wheaton, of
Co. B, 10th signal battalion, when
the division would leave for "the big
adventure" on the other side.
"The first" replied the captain,
briefly.
"The first of February" asked
Sergt "Geff" hopefully.
NAV, the first opportunity" was
the captains answer.
"Geff' is still wondering when "the
first opportunity will arrive. The
107th is stationed with the other Wis
consin troops at Camp Macarthur,
Waco, Texas. In a recent letter Sergt
Willoughby states that he has gained
twenty pounds, which is the average
gain for the Badger boys in Texas
He declares that the troops are all in
good shape, that there is very little
| sickness in the camp and that the
boys are all anxious to leave for
France.

NARROWLY MISSED TORPEDO
ON THE ATLANTIC OCEAN

Carl Reichardt, former Watertown
boy and step-brother of William
Reichardt and Mrs. Joseph Ruesch of
this city, and now in the service on
board the U. S. S. Teresa, writes of an
interesting encounter with submar-
inc while somewhere on the Atlantic
ocean. He left this city seven years
in the service six years as gunpointer.
The Iowa City Press tells the story:
Attacked at sea by Teuton submar-
ines, Carl Reichardt of Iowa City, is
safe, sound and well, at Newport News
where he is on board the U. S. S.
Teresa, now.
While returning from overseas on a
certain ship, his feet was assailed,
and an extraordinary adventure came
to pass-helping him to write history
hereafter.
His ship escaped, but six boats
were sunk.
Calmly, he tells the story-from
which names and places are censored
in this story for patriotic reasons:
He says: 1--WE had a very narrow
escape coming back
1T didn't seem to bother the crew
very much" he adds, and all stood up
under fire pretty we'll
1--WE left Queenstown, Ireland, for
the United States, and we got as far
as -, off the coast of -, when
the submarines attacked the convoy.

under us amidships-the sub being
so clase that the torpedo dived be-
fore Strengthening out on it's course.
''The ship on our beam was hit by
the torpedo that went under us.
''Six ships out of the 25 in the con-
voy were sunk.

speed, and headed for homeland
were not fired on again the rest of the
trip.

month or so, having few minor re-
pairs made.

will resume our perilous Journey to

Ssro> HE0EAsnoHh o. DIRECTOR

In commenting upon the proposal
to keep pigs for the purpose of turn
ing garbage wastes into much needed
pork, an influential newspaper editor
objects that pigs in cities would
create disagreeable odors and be a
menace to the public health. The dis
agreeableness is conceded. That
doors cause disease, however, is We
hemently denied.
The belief that they do is as often
sive to reason as a pig is to ones
sense of smell. The danger of spread
ing misleading information of the
sort under discussion is that the pub
lie is thrown off the right track It is
camouflaged so to speak. When harm
less things are made to appear harm
full, attention is drawn away from the
harmful ones. The deception is thus
made to play into the hands of the
enemy.
1t is true that sometimes disease
and diSagreeable OdOrs are associated
In such instances the odor may rem
der a great service by directing at
tention to avoidable sources of dis
ease. But, as somebody has said, one
should be able to appreciate a truth
without being carried away by it
Just because disagreeab1e odors are
sometimes associated with disease is
no reason for jumping to the con-
clusion that all disagreeable animal
odors are associated with disease.
But it is likewise true that dis
agreeable doors of other kinds
usually chemical, are associated In
most peoples minds with the proven
ton of disease. Thus, it is difficult for
most of us to believe that burning
sulphur has little disinfecting power
or to get away from the feeling that
the smell of carbolic acid really in
sures cleanliness. AS a matter OF
fact, the smell of carbolic acid does
not prevent disease any more than
does the smell of pig cause disease
1t is a part of warfare to deceive
ones enemies, to conceal real can
mons, and partially expose wooden
dummy ones to draw attention and
shells to a point where they will dc
little harm. Disease germs. have nc
brains, but they receive lot of help
from the ignorance, superstition and
misinfOrmatiOn of human beings

SUPREME COURT DECISION
WILL DISFRANCHISE VOTERS

A decision by the United States SUI
preme court regarding naturalization
papers will, it is believed, disfran-
chise several hundred residents OF
Jefferson county and thousands
throughout the country, unless con-
gress comes to the rescue. The decis-
ion is pointed out in the following let
ter:
Washington, D. c., Jan. II, 1918.
j. C. BRANDED,
Clerk of the Circuit Court,
Jefferson, Wis
Dear Sir: The supreme court of
the United States held, in a decision on
the 7th instant in the case of the
United States VS.. Moreno, that declar-
atoms of intention made prior to Sep
TENDER 81, 1906, became invalid for all
purposes on September 81, 1913, by
operation of the seven-year limitation
contained in the naturalization act OF
June 20, 1906.
You should, therefore~receive nc
more petitions based upon declara-
tons made before September 27, 1906

CORBY AND SATURDAY CLUBS
CHOOSE MATERIAL FOR STUDY

Miss Vivian Gray Little has returned
from Madison where she spent the
past few days on business. She has
been fortunate in securing paintings
by Arthur Rackham and Lucy Fitch
Perkins, illustrating scenes from
Midsummer's Night Dream. The pic
lures were brought here for the Corby
club, which is studying the subject.
The pictures are of general interest
and can be seen by those interested.
Inquire at the desk.
Miss Little also was fortunate in
securing many articles of interest to
the Saturday club, now studying art.
G. B. Lester, chairman of the State
Food Conservation Commission, of
which Miss Little is a member, gave
her many pamphlets on food conser-
walton, which are of interest to all.
The topics treated are many and ad-
vice for everyone is contained in
them
Many will be glad to know that the
government is now issuing these
pamphlets printed in the German Ian
guage, thus giving those unable to
read English an opportunity to re-
ceive first hand information on gen.
eral matters. One of these pamphlets
entitled Amerikanische Buergertreue
Won Buergern Deutscher Abkumft is of
particular interest and can be OBJ
tanned at once.

SOLDIERS WHO MARRIED
SINCE MAY IS AFFECTED

A marriage since May IS, 1917 is
prima facie marriage to evade mill
tary service The burden of proof is
on the registrant to prove that he did
not marry to evade the draft. Unless
the registrant supplies such proof as
will convince the local board beyond
any doubt that the marriage was not
contracted previously to evade mill
tary service then any dependency
thus established is not one that rem
ders discharge advisable, and on this
ground such registrants must be held
for military service

BASKET BALL TEAM TO
PLAY COLUMBUS FRIDAY

The high school basketball team
will play Columbus Friday evening at
that place The boys will leave in the
evening at GAS over the Milwaukee
road and will return at 1858 next
morning Many have expressed their
intention of accompanying the five as
a dance will follow the game. From all
indications this game will be the best
of the season as local dope artists con-
slider it to be the most decisive to be
played. Watertown is out for the state
championship and has won from Bea-
yer Dam "a to 16. The Beavers fought
valiantly but the stuffed goose town
five upset their equilibrium and
showed them under before they had a
chance to do much playing. At Por-
tage the locals trimmed them 33 to 10.
While the score appears one-sided,
the Portage followers gave the locals
a real lively tilt. The Portage aggre-
cation failed to get started because of
the powerful offensive game by Wa
tertown, and were already swamped
in the first half Is to 5.
The Columbus game will show just
what the locals can do, as they are
said to be the only real opponents
Watertown has to buck up against.
A large number ought to attend as
the round trip will amount to only Sc
cents. The admittance charge will be
% cents, making in all Sill. The
dance alone is worth it, SO be on hand
Friday evening at 6:45 at the depot.
The Watertown lineup is as fol-
lows: E. Archie, center; Henke, run
ming guard; Buffmeier, standing
guard; Brooks, Kaminski, forwards;
K. Archie, H. Kohl, A. Pieritz, SUBJ
stitutes.

Here and There

Through the wiles of practical
joker, several young ladies were
locked up in the coop for ten minutes
Monday evening. It all came about
when the party, congregated at
dinner party, became curious as re-
CARDS the appearance of the interior
of the city bastile One Of the party
readily offered to escort the ladies as
her father is a city official. Arriving
at the city hall the guide escorted
them into the room with it's tiers of
cells The door mysteriously shut
and the lock snapped, the lights went
out and concerted scream went up.
On the interior Zimmerman guards
for the occasion, was trying to keep
his fingers from burning and light the
gas jet at the same time, for he had
but one match between darkness and
oblivion and light and cheer. The
party remained in durance vile for
some time and then timidly tried the
door. 1t yielded, and with glad Oh,
Dear! the feminine contingent de-
parted with the firm determination of
not visiting the city hall again. At
least half the girls are still wondering
who locked them in. Zimmerman
doesn't know, at least he says so. The
other half think they know but are
not sure. They're still wondering.
A woman is strange creature-so
is a man-sometimes The former will
turn from you in majority of cases
at the first sign of adversely. A man
usually will remain steadfast. And
the dog will hold his love and friend
ship till death parts him from his
master.
Are you still adhering to that New
Year resolution. If you are, you are
going some. If you have no other in
centive, stick to it for the purpose of
keeping the other fellow in misery
and guessing.
