NOTICES!

Platteville, Wis, Nov. 8, 1918.
To all those who have helped in
the several War Savings drives in
Grant county, l want to thank you and
your organization for the splendid
service rendered
The real test of our patriotism has
come; hostilities have ceased. Peace
has come, but the war is not yet paid
for. Peace also brings tremendous
problems of reconstruction. Huge
tasks are to be performed, and every
pledge must be fulfilled. Grant cOun-
ty, in order to raise her War Savings
quota, must raise during November
and December about $276,191.
State Director, Mr.. J. III. Puelicher.
strongly urges that every person fin
ish his pledge during Thanksgiving
week so that Wisconsin may be one
OF the first states in the union to go
over the top. If every person buys
the stamps he has agreed to buy,
there will be no difficulty in getting
our required amount. Grant county
now stands eighteenth in sales per
capita in the state. Let us make an
extra effort during the coming ten
days and be one of the first to fulfill
our obligations.
Let me urge that every school
clerk in the county, with the aid of
other officers and the teacher, organ
ize an Adult War Savings Society
composed of all the men and women
residing in the district Instructions
for forming War Savings Societies
are sent out from state headquarters
with suggestions for programs Help
in forming societies will be given by
the county committee wherever pos
sible
Another issue of War Savings Sc
curities has been authorized, and War
Savings Societies in every part of the
county will greatly facilitate the alb
sorbtion of our allotment.
1t we give the needed energy to
the Thanksgiving week drive, and or
ganize societies in every school dist
riot, Grant county will stand well up
with other counties of the state.
Lastly be reminded to clip the cou-
pons from your Liberty bonds and de-
vote the interest due on November Is
to the purchase of thrift stamps. This
is good business and good patriotism
and will help the government and
help Grant county in putting their
quota over the top.
Respectfully yours,
o. E. Gray,
Grant Co. Chmn. War Savings Com.

DREAMING OF YOU.

(By One in Love.)
Last night while / was sleeping
dreamed my love of you;
You were in the foremost trench, dear,
could see those eyes of blue.
You were fighting for your country,
For that good old U. S. A.,
And when the Huns approached dear
They fell like new mown hay.
Dreaming, dear, just dreaming
OF those dear eyes of blue.
Dreaming, dear, just dreaming,
Watching and waiting for you.
Then there came a message
That this awful war had ceased,
That this country would be as ever
A world of love and peace.
l cannot describe the rejoicing,
You could hear the people say
What glorious time we would have,
dear
When you get back to the U. S. A.

"JOE VILLION-NONE.''
BY Allen Eddy,
n thn New York Herald

BY Allen Eddy,
In the New York Herald.
(In a recent casualty list among
the killed in action appeared the name
Joe Wilton and after it ''none,' sig
nifying that he left no relative or near
No one to mourn you, Joe Wilton,
AS you live in your soldiers
grave;
None but the million on million
You helped with the life you
gave.
You are not dead, but sleeping,
For the valorous do not die;
And peace be yours forever, Joe,
AS out there at rest you lie.
And the wide world salutes you,
AS you sleep meath your army
cross;
You are the son of each mother
Who has sounded the depth of
loss.
You're one with wondrous COM
pany
From the bivouac of the blest:
And a billion heart throbs follow it
AS it marches slowly West"
Oh, count the leaves of the forest
And the sands of the wave kissed
shore;
Measure the love that is dearest,
That grows stronger forever
more.
Say, then, there is none to mourn
you,
AS the shadows about you fall
And the signing trees take up the
plant
Of your final bugle call.
