SPECIAL SESSIONS
OF THE LEGISLATURE

The special meeting of the Wiscon-
sin legislature was the shortest on
record, having practically closed up
all business by Tuesday evening, but
meeting was held Wednesday morn
ing, which was merely perfunctory
Within two hours after Governor
Pf2llipp had finished reading his mes
sage outlining the purposes of the call,
the bills had been enacted into law. 1t
only needed the report that the COVER
nor had signed the bills this morning
to conclude the work of the session.
All of the members except two or
three in each house left for their
homes on the evening trains Tuesday.
Two bills were enacted by the ses-
sion as outlined in the call of the gov
ernor. The first was introduced by
Assemblyman Engel, Milwaukee, and
provided that towns, cities and coun-
ties may invest their surplus in gov
ernment bonds. The bill went through
each house without roll call vote and
with all members supporting it.
The second bill was introduced in
the senate by Senator Platt Whitman,
Highland. 1t provided for an appro-
priation of $4,000 to the central
board of education, $4,000 of which
was to be used in building barracks
and $4,000 in. erecting mess halls at
the different normal schools for the
training of soldiers under the students
army training corps plan. A second
section of this bill provided that the
university may use it's revolving fund
of about $225,000 for the student army
training corps purposes at the uni
Versity. This bill received a vote
of q members in the senate and SO
in the house, wi,l no one in opposi-
tion.
Singularly enough Senator Roy Will
cox was absent from the deliberations.
The houses passed a resolution pro-
Viding for the hanging of a service flag
in the legislative halls to the enlisted
members.
A memorial of the late William
Smith, Bangor, was adopted. This
concluded the work of the session.
In the consideration of the bill per-
mitting municipalities to invest in
government securities the point was
raised in both houses that school dis
tricts should have been included in
the bill as they have bonds-some of
them large sums-which might to ad-
vantage be invested in government Sc
curities. 1t was, however, decided and
amendment to include school districts
might endanger the bill under the call
of the governor. Such an amendment
will undoubtedly be added to the law
however as soon as the legislature

SPANISH INFLUENZA

Just now the Spanish Influenza" i"
is spreading throughout the country.
1t is somewhat more severe than the
grip, but very much along the same
lines. The following rules have been
issued to the army and apply as we'll
to people in general:
l. Avoid needless crowding. In
tluenZa is a crowd disease.
2. Smother your coughs and sneez-
es. Others do not want the germs
which you throw away.
3. Your nose, not your mouth, was
made to breathe through Get the
habit.
a. Remember the three C's-clean
mouth, clean skin and clean clothes.
5. Try to keep cool when you walk,
and warm when you ride and sleep.
6. Open the windows-always at
home at night; at the office when prac-
ticable.
Z. Food will win the war if you
give it a chance. Help by choosing
and chewing your food we'll
8. Your fate may be in your own
hands. Wash your hands before eat
ing.
8. Don't let the waste products OF
digestion accumulate. Drink a glass
or two of water on getting up.
10. Don't use a napkin, towel,
spoon, fork, glass or cup which has
been used by another person and not
washed.
IL. Avoid tight clothes, tight shoes,
tight gloves. Seek to make nature your
ally, not your enemy.
IL. When the air is pure, breathe
all of it you can. Breathe deeply.

ONLY FRANK AND ENNIS IN FIGHT
SAYS MOTHER
The following is from the Milwau-
kee Journal:

The following is from the Milwau-
kee Journal:
my two sons, Leslie and Louis,
were away from home Saturday a
week ago." said Mrs. Louise Kruger,
when interviewed by correspondent
| of the Journal. This is the first inter-
view she has given since the now
famous night battle on her homestead,
where one man, Harry Jensen, Withee
station agent of the 500 line, was
killed, and five others were wounded.
.'The Bible teaches it is wrong to go
to war;" she said, pointing at a Bible
in the county jail. 81 taught my boys
that war was wrong"
IF war is wrong, do you not also
consider it wrong to fire OH an officer
of the law?" she was asked.
my boys were taught that it was
wrong to fight or quarrel at any time
or at any place"
In answer to question regarding
Louis and Leslie, she said: Frank
and Ennis were the only boys there
the night of the trouble" Asked where
Louis and Leslie were she turned away
and refused to answer. "Were they
on your premises or anywhere in Clark
county," she was asked "They were
not there, that's ALL" she replied.
II was alone in the house when the
shooting started Frank and Ennis
came in later. The other two boys
were not there. | did not touch a gun
myself. There were no cartridges
there when l was there alone. Frank
came into the house and then went out
again and it was then ne was shot. l
helped drag him in. Then l went out
and surrendered. They told me Frank
would have to come out and I told
them he could not help himself to get
out. Then the shooting started again.
That is all | know. I did not ADVISE
the boys not to register, as has been
stated, although l heard them speak
about it at different times. I did not
realize there was anything serious
about the boys not going down to reg

When asked about her youngest
son, Ennis, who was killed near Policy
Sunday night, she broke down and
sobbed
II am not worrying about him." she
sobbed. "He is at peace. He was
ready to meet his Cod"

He was accompanied by Sergt. G. J..

made in ten hours counting the time
which was lost in landing twice for
gasoline. They passed over Stevens
Point, Marshfield, Philips and other
places. 1t made people wonder when
the machine passed over these as well
as other cities. A Curtis plane was
used propelled by a 100 horse power

TO OUR CONSUMERS:

Owing to the reduction in pressure
and depletion Of our gas fields due
tothe continuous drain upon our wells,
we will not have as large an avail
able supply of gas during the COM
ing winter as we had during the
winter of 1917 and 1918, notwith-
standing our continued efforts to in
crease the supply.
We anticipate that during periods
of extremely cold weather the sup
ply will not be sufficient to meet all
the demands Of our consumers.
This is condition confronting pract-
ically every community depending
upon natural gas for light and heat,
and is not limited to the comuni-
ties served by rs
1t should be remembered that dur
ing the past winter, cities relying
exclusively on coal for heating pur-
poses suffered inconvenience equal
to, If not greater than those de-
pending upon gas.
AS the decrease in the supply Of
gas is beyond our power to remedy.
we earnestly ask the cooperation
Of all our consumers in our efforts
to diminish the inconvenience ex-
perienced during the periods when
the supply is insufficient to meet
all demands, by providing themselves
with a supply Of other fuel, and not
depend solely on natural gas during
the winter months.

FOOD REGULATIONS

Telegram: Beef regulations for
hotels, restaurants, boarding houses
and consumers suspended. You may
look for new general rules for eat
ing houses by the 18th instance.
Sugar allowance has been reduced
to two pounds per person per month.
Canning allowance remains the same.
August certificates for sugar have
been sent to all merchants entitled
to them according to the records of
the Wheeling Office. There are prob
ably a number who failed to send
statements, and have not received
blanks. Many send statements but
did not sign them nor did not give
full address.
The amount of sugar allowed our
state for August is much less than
for July. Canning certificates will be
redeemed in the order in which re-
ceived.
The last word: Make your sugar
go as far as possible. Be saving to
the limit.
