Time Shifts: Pupils Puzzled

When father time was nudged slightly on April Fools day he con trived somehow to spread a few words of propaganda among the pupils of Phoenix high school. Somehow, no one seems to know, the pupils who make a habit of questioning every thing that is new have gotten into their young heads that they are be- ing reused from their slumbers one hour too early. They figure that o'clock of the new time is one-half hour earlier than the old opening time of S:30 o'clock. However, they are really getting to school half an hour later, because they go to bed Cor are supposed to go to bed) one hour earlier. To prove this. see page 492 in Stone Mills Geoma Tree.

The Logical Candidate for Mayor

HI TWO InOntIlS OI charges dIlu CoullCI charges the Creighton faction, which now controls the city, has made ONE accusation against my record which admit to be true. "That on May T. 1916, voted against con solidating the office of City Clerk and City Magistrate. Did not this consolidation effect saving of $3OOO a year. l reply gladly that voted against this move because it was frame up'' to get rid of fearless, compe- tent and honest man. There has been no saw ing effected whatever and knowing full that grumbling, bootlegging, prostitution and allied vices would result, voted NO. And have never regretted it. A grand jury called ssix months after this consolidation which vindicated my Judgment and excerpt from their official report is printed opposite. The same conditions exist and under the same administration.
 To show that have never opposed real economy call attention my motion within the last two months at Commission meeting, to consolidate the office of Superintendent of Streets with that of City Engineer also the office of City Manager with that of Superin tendent of the Water Department. This would effect a saving of more than $3OO0 year. MT. Corpstein opposed the consolidation and my motion was not even seconded Notwithstanding this fact the Gazette (the official mouhpiece of the Creighton Corpstein crowd) gave out to the public that the consolidation had been made. The fact is it HAS NOT been made but new Superintendent of Streets has just been an nounced.

EXCERPT FROM THE GRAND
 JURY REPORT

We have given attention to the condition existing in the City of Phoenix regarding bootlegging, gambling and prostitution and allied crimes and vices. While such conditions in Phoenix might be worse, they are, nevertheless most deplorable Bootleg gers gamblers and pimps who ought to be jailed as vagrants or run out of the city are permitted to loiter about and ply their vacations without serious interference.
 "The proprietors of notorious resorts where gambling and drunkeness and disorder have obtained habitually, have not been molested nor has any serious at- tempts been made to improve the character of such places. While there has been much newspaper talk about the suppression of prostitution the city still we'll supplied with prostitutes.
 These matters appear to be notorious that 1t would seem impossible that some knowledge of them should not have reached the chief of poce the city manager and city commissioners City affairs conducted a cheap and niggardly basis and citizens and tax payers have right to expect that city officers should at all times be vgant and active in the suppression of vice and crime"

LECTURE CANCELLED.
Pat O'Brien, War Lecturer, Sails For
France.

Lieut.. Pat O'Brien, noted war lee
turer, who was to lecture here under
the auspices of the Watertown Sep
arate company, has cancelled his en-
gagement and has sailed for France.
The following letter written to Wal
ter NJ KuenZi, treasurer of the local
company, explains itself:
| regret to advise you that Lieut..
Pat O'Brien was Unexpectedly called
into active military service and sailed
on the Rochambeau for France.
I know that this will mean a big
disappointment to you, but of course
in wartime the interests of the coun-
try must be considered first.
From present indications the war
may be over very shortly and O'Brien
will then return to this country and
fill his lecture engagements.
In the meantime, l am negotiating
with another war lecturer of great
reputation, whom l think would prove
a satisfactory substitute.

NO SPANISH FLU
CASES REPORTED
IN THE CITY TODAY
Only One New Case On Sunday and
No Case Reported To the
Health Department
Today.

The Spanish influenza seems at
last to be on the decline. There was
only one case reported on Sunday to
the health department and there was
no case reported to the department
today. Some people incline to the be-
lief that the generous rainfall killed
the germs in this section, while others
hold to the belief that the epidemic
has just played out, which will be
pleasing news if it turns out to be
true.
During the prevalence of Spanish
influenza one should keep a cool head
and right attitude of mind Do not
worrq over the matter 1t is said that
people can deceive themselves into
thinking they have any disease on the
calendar and doubtless many Of them
have thought themselves into their
graves. Fear is the first thing to be
overcome, the first step in conquering
this epidemic" said Dr. Witte of Des
Moines, Iowa, recently. 81 am not a
Christian Scientist, but I believe an
application of their principles will
materially aid in preserving the
health of this community. They did
not originate with the Scientists, but
are to be found by anyone who will
take the trouble to read his bible. In
In my work in infected communities,
have always found Scientists the
first to respond to the slightest sug-
gestion Of unsanitary conditions, and
the first to comply with fundamental
health measures"

UNITED WAR FUND
QUOTAS FOR STATE
Have Been MADE
Campaign Will Start On November II
and Last One Week-QuOta For
Dodge County $4,000, JET
fersOn County, 1880.

Specific quotas for all counties in
Wisconsin in the United War Work
campaign have been officially an
nounced from the state headquarters
by Chairman Emerson Ella. The cam
paign will be waged November Ills.
The national goal is $40, 100000, of
which Wisconsin's share is $3,390,000
Seven great war welfare agencies
have consolidated in the drive for
funds at the request of President Will
son. These are the Army Y. M. c. A.,
the Y w. c. A., National Catholic
War Council, including the K. of c.,
Jewish Welfare Board, War Camp
Community Service, American Library
Association and the Salvation Army.
With formal approval of the consoli-
dation having been given by the Pres
ident and the war department., expect
atoms are that Wisconsin's cam
pagn will be put through to a whirl-
wind completion in single day.
do 1t In Day" is the slogan
adopted by Wisconsin. All sections OF
the state are girding themselves for
the big drive next month and every
indication points to the minimum
quota of s3,39O,OOO being we'll over
subscribed.
President Wilson summed up the
whole appeal in recent letter in
which he spoke of the work of these
seven great agencies as "Of vital mill
tary Importance" He had in mind the
O.
sponsible for the maintenance Of the
splendid morale of our forces. There
has never been in history so spec
tacular an example Of the supreme
Importance of morale as is now being
presented on the western front.
The forces that confront each other
there are not widely dissimilar in
numbers or equipment. Yet one army
is constantly withdrawing and the
other irresistibly moving forward.
The difference is spelled in that sin
gle word-morale.
The quotas designated for WiscOn
sin counties are computed on basis
of property, income tax and popula-
ton They are regarded as the most
scientific and exact of any quotas ever
fixed for any campaign. The figures
were unanimously approved at the
state convention of the United War
Work campaign in Milwaukee re-
Gently.
The quota for Dodge county is
$4,000, and for Jefferson county
