ALL ASKED TO
JOIN A SOCIETY
Wisconsin at Top of List of
States in Number of SOcie-
ties Organized

| Every person in the state of Wis
consin who has signed War Savings
pledge card and who has not done so
as member of a society, is asked to
join enc Of the societies at once. 1t
| need not necessarily be a society in the
same office or business as yourself; it
may be in the church, at the lodge, in
your children's school, or in the office
of friend who belongs to one of the
War Savings societies, of which Wis
consin is so justly proud of standing
at the top.
When one considers that there are
forty-eight states in the Union and that
the authorities at Washington have
asked each state to form certain
number of societies, it is with a great
deal of pride that John III. Puelicher,
Director of War Savings for the state,
points with pride to WiscOnsins "Over
the top quota. 1t is place Wiscon-
sin has held from the start of the for
nation of War Savings SOCIETIES early in
January, and it is place that Wiscon-
sin intends to hold until the end of the
wear. when the War Savings campaign
is closed.
1t has not been an easy matter-the
organizing of these societies. 1t has
taken much time and much energy
The workers in the various cOmmuni-
ties visited each shop, office and plant
and in them appointed a number of
men to organize the societies. After
the first visit there followed others,
at which close instructions were given
to the various "heads" as to just how
each society was to be formed, the
manner of paying for pledges, and the
duties of president and secretary.
While this made great deal of work
at the start it facilitated matters
greatly later on, when, in the large es-
Establishments, each president of
society looked after his own members,
and pledgers did not have to go to the
front office to buy their stamps. In
stead, each president or secretary de-
livered the stamps to the society MEM
bers and kept his own books, making
much less work for the man out
front" who had before the organiza-
ton of societies, been obliged to keep
a regular set of books.

MILLIONS RECEIVED
IN AUTO FEES

Madison, Wis.-That the present fis-
cal year, closing with business Satur-
day night, June %, will bring to the
state treasury $1,000,000 more in auto
mobile license fees than last year, is
the statement of Merlin Hull, secretary
of state.
"This department has issued 17G,6S5
licenses thus far this year, said Mr.
Hull yesterday, bringing into the high
way funds Of the state $1,766,S5O
There have been 500 truck licenses
issued at from $40 to $50. Dealers Ii
censes at $25 each, have been issued to
1864 dealers. The number of motor
cycle licenses is $40 at $4 each"
The total receipts of the automobile
division since Jan. 1 are in excess of
$20O0,000. This is about $250,000
greater than was estimated at the be-
ginning of the year. To July l, last
year 10000 auto licenses were issued,
including trucks, which this year are
licensed separately. The total for the
year 1917 was 164,500. So far in 1918
we have issued 42,3S5 more such Ii
censes than were issued during the first
six months of last year and 1885 more
than were issued all last year.
For the fiscal year ending July 1,
1917, the total receipts from motor
vehicles were 1894, ,142. The present
fiscal year they will be in excess Of
$2,O0O0OO.
There has been a large falling off in
the number of dealers licenses issued
Last year the total number was 2,157,
while during the present year the num-
ber is only 4S6. The increase of the
license fee by the legislature is probably
the reason for this falling off.
1t is quite probable that another
quarter of million may be added to
the highway fund by the the close of
the year, if the manufacture of auto
mobiles is not curtailed by government
regulation. Last year 24,500 licenses
were issued after July /.
Except for a small cost per license
for plates, postage and administration
expense, the entire automobile fund
will go to highway Improvement in the
various counties of the state, the APP
portiOnment Of the fund to each county
being provided by statute.

has enlisted in the navy at the recruit
ing station in Milwaukee, after passing
successfully the physial examination

world, there is opportunity for better
ing an education, improvement in
physical being, seeing the world and
helping to make the world decent

son, Oshkosh and Ishpeming Mich.

other discount that is also eliminated

stances to newly married couples to
be used in purchasing household
equipment, etc.

farm women within walking distance
of the place chosen as the center meet
once a week, coming not in dress

with them their knitting or Red Cross
work as fancy work is prohibited and
the afternoon is spent in discussion
of new war work. Messages are read
from the heads of county committees.
No refreshments are served and week
ly dues of five cents are collected to
be turned into the treasury of the
