HIGH SCHOOL NOTES
-. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

A program will be given by the high
school students on Washington's birthday.
The drills given by the pupils at the high
school opening on Feb. 18th will be re-
peated for the benefit of the grade school
children of Hurley. A few added num-
bers are being prepared by some of the
grades of the Lincoln school The Cary
school pupils will render a Red Cross
drill. The same program will be given
on Friday evening for adults. A fee OF
25c. will be charged, the proceeds to be
used for the benefit of the Junior Red
Cross. This is high school organization
and all the pupils are urged to join.
The Thrift Stamp campaign in the high
school has not been an entire success
Some of the pupils have bought very
freely and the majority have done their
share, but as yet all of the students have
not bought Thrift Stamps. What we want
in Hurley is a 100 percent high school,
something to be proud of, and there is nc
sufficient reason why we can't have it.
Besides selling Thrift and War Savings
Stamps in the high school Supt. Murphy
has advised the pupils to canvass the
town and the adjoining districts. A COM
mittee representing each class in the high
school is being appointed this week for
this purpose. Each committee will do its
best to sell the highest number of stamps
so as to put their respective classes in the
lead. A great deal of enthusiasm has
been shown in buying Thrift Stamps in
the high school campaign and if this good
work is kept up as it should be there is
no reason why we can't put our school on
an even basis with or ahead of the other
schools in northern Wisconsin.
The Junior class met and appointed
their committee for the Thrift Stamp
campaign in Hurley, Cary, Gle and Pence
The following pupils were appointed tc
canvass the above mentioned places
Louis Rein for Hurley, Mary Hambley
for Cary, Irene Frego for Gle, and Rose
Milo for Pence. The other classes are
expected to organize this week.
Our school library is expected to be
fully completed in the near future.
The pupils of the high school have
been definitely arranged in classes rela
tive to the use of the gymnasium. The
9th grade, freshman and sophomore boys
are allowed its use on Mondays after
school; the junior and senior boys or
Tuesdays the 9Th grade, freshman anc
sophomore girls on Wednesdays and. the
junior and senior girls on Thursdays. A
great deal of interest is being taken By
the pupils in the gymnasium work anc
they use the apparatus to good advantage

Wheat Must Be Saved.

The homes of United States and
Canada must save 90, 900, 900 bush
els of wheat, which are needed by
our armies and allies.
The surplus wheat crop of the
United States, beyond our normal
needs, has already been exported
to Europe. The far-away supplies
of Australia and India require too
long a time for shipment in this
day of decreased shipping facilities.
The results of the previous wheat
saving campaigns, while consider
able, have already been sent over
seas, but to ship the minimum
needs to Italy, France and Great
Britain within the next four months
will require $4,000, 900 bushels,
and starving Belgium will require
another IS, 900, 900 bushels.
When our people realize the sac
rifice that the Allies are making in
holding the trenches until we can
go over the top" can there be
any question but that our entire
population will willingly substitute
other foods for wheat flour to save
the 9O,0OO,0 900 bushels that are i'm
peratively needed tohold the morale
of the armies in the field and main
tain their families at home?
Italy and Russia suffered their re-
verses in considerable measure be-
cause of the bread riots among the
masses, which destroyed the morale
of the troops in the field. France
has said, They shall not pass"
and will hold until we can give her
aid.
In spite of the shortage of labor,
the farmers of this nation will sup
plement these savings that must be
made this summer by the largest
crop of food and foodstuffs next fall
which their best endeavors can
make possible. Our labor crisis is
hardly to be mentioned in compar-
ison with that of our Allies, where
women are now forced to do most
of the work in the fields.

IMPORTANT: LOCAL BOARDS AS
RECRUITING STATIONS


To all intents and purposes the local
boards are in fact recruiting stations. The
services for which they may recruit are
indicated in the calls issued by the Pro-
vost Marshal General. The only branches
of service which are now open in this
state are indicated in the following calls:
Fort Leavenworth, Kan.
Call No. 2-Medical Department, Medi-
cal Officers Training Camp for boards
east of Mississippi, Fort Riley, Kansas.
Call No. 5-lnfantry, Camp Greene,
Charlotte, North Carolina.

Barracks, Vancouver. Washington.
Call No l0-Aviation Section Signal
Corps, bricklayers only, Camp Sewer,
Greenville. South Carolina.
The calls whose numbers are not given
here are not effective in this state or have
been cancelled.
Some local boards do not seem to realize
that they have full power to nduct into
the military service men physically quail
fed for general military service who wish
to enter any of the services listed above.
Local Boards will prepare the usual
mobilization papers (See section l59,
Changes No. u and will dispose of them
as provided in section 100 Changes No. }.
Local Boards should make a special
study of memorandum No. 1888 which is
the basic telegram on induction and which
provides the general rules for induction
except as they have been modified by
Changes No /.
Some Local Boards have been sending
men to Madison to be advised of infor-
nation that is contained in the mem
oranda in possession of all local boards.
They have also sent men to recruiting
stations at distant points to be advised
that they could not be enlisted
Local Boards should make every effort
to thoroughly inform themselves regard
ing tins important question iii order to
save regiStrantS fruitless waste of both
time and money. The recruiting officers
frequently complain to state headquarters
this procedure.
Your cooperation is earnestly solicited.

at may some day well be said that
tungsten made democracy possible"
says a report. Tungsten Is used as
lining for big guns of nickel steel,
which without it would be ruined after
200 shots, for these guns must stand
Ii temperature Of 5000 to 5000 degrees
Fahrenheit. Molybdenum is also used,
but 1t Is scarcer than tungsten. High
speed steel Is a tungsten alloy; with
out tungsten the manufacture Of steel
devices requiring cutting would be q
slow affair. Germany produced most
Of the wcrld's tungsten before the
war, and In 1915 Great Britain found
herself crippled because her tools were
wearing out through lack Of tungsten.
The hunt for tungsten that resulted
gave Britain control OF two-thirds of
the worlds supply. America is now
producing about 1000 tons year.
