Received German Helmet.

There is a Germ4n shrapnel helmet
on display at the Review Office this
week, sent to Walter Gander Jr. by
Lloyd Raymond, Army Field Clerk
with the American .Expedibionary
Forces in France. This trophy of the
World War, the first of its kind to be
received in Eagle River from the
front line, has created quite an in
terest with those who have seen it..
It is made of steel and looks as if
it could turn quite bullet. 1t weighs
three pounds and bears marks Of
hard usage, evidently at the Yanks'
hands. Lloyd was right up back Of
the big battle Of the Argonne Forest
and the helmet is undoubtedly a relic
of that supreme effort of the Ameri-
can forces. Come in and look it over.
1t viii give you better idea of con-
ditions over there.

The New Version.

The "Queen City Bard" fayors
us with the following, which is
"Keep the Home Fires Burning
brought up to date:
Yesterday the shadows fingered.
Nations battled for d goal,
While a mother waited, patient,
Praying for a soldiers soul,
Clouds today at last have parted,
AS in answer to her prayer,
And her boy is now returning,
From the war-zone over there.
CHORUS:
Through your salf-denying,
And your war-bond buying
You have helped your ladies
Dreams Of home come true.
Keep your home fires burning
For your lads returning
That their hearts may now rejoice
For the peace terms new.
Many have been drilled for service
And for duty Oversee
And America prepared them
All to fight for right and thee.
Let your prayers also include them
Tho they never crossed the foam
Make them just as welcome
In their final trip back home.

Need Fats and MIX.

The two food stuffs that are most
needed in Europe at the present time
are fats and condensed milk. There
is apt to be a great shortage in pork
porducts before the year is out, but
Mr.. Hoover hopes that the settling of
minimum price will stimulate the
production to such an extett as to
supply the demand.
CONDENSED milk is needed for the
children, especially in the countries
that have been,robbed OF their cattle
by the central powers. Tie most
dreadful condition exists in some of
the Balkan states, especially in Servia
where it is said that not a single
child is alive that has been born since
1914.

KEEP YOUR STAMP
PLEDGE THIS YEAR
Secretary McAdoo Urges
That People Fulfill The
War Savings Stamp
Pledges. Do 1t.

Secretary McAdoo has sent a person.
al telegram to ]. H. Puelicher, di
rector of War Savings for Wisconsin,
in which he urges on the Wisconsin
organization the Importance Of gather
ing in all Of the unpaid War Savings
pledges. The telegram reads:
IT most earnestly urge upon you
that your organization make every
possible effort to the end that pledges
for the purchase Of War Savings
stamps he fulfilled before the close O.
the year. The governments monetary
requirements were never greater nor
more pressing team they are today.
Expenditures for November were
greater than in any similar period.
These expenditures growing out of the
war must be met by borrowing from
the people and their magnificent re-
Spouse heretofore to the governments
requirements makes me confident.
that they will not fail TO continue
their support to the end that all pay
mbnts resulting from war necessities
will be promptly met.
"Much remains to be done. Our
brave troops must be maintained and
paid until their work is fully accom-
plished and they are returned to their
homes, This is not time for us to re-
lax our efforts and the treasury de-
partment is making plans for larger
and even more important work during
the coming year. Please make every
effort to bring this statement before
the people in your district and to urge
upon them the continued holding Of
their 'War Savings certificates" the
fulfillment Of their pledges and ad
ditional puschases as their means
permit"
Secretary McAdoo also urges on the
people the necessi ty of purchasing
War Savings and Thrift stamps for
Christmas gifts, as means for still
further aiding the government.

Holy Land Relief Work.

Four million starving people in
Bible Lands, four hundred thousand
Of whom are children! American
generosity is their only hope. AS
these peoples are not nations our
nation cannot make loans to them, so
the help must be private benevo-
lence.
Our generous response will not only
save from starvation these people but
also open the way for bearing the
Bread of Life to those who are not
Christians, and imparting new faith
to those who are Christ's disciples.
Bringing gifts to these sufferers at
the Christmas season will be real
celebration OF the birthday of Jesus
who said, 'sInasmuch as ye do it unto
the least Of these my children We dc it
unto me- And the celebration will
be in His homeland, too.
The relief work is in the hands Of
the most trustworthy and reliable
Christian men. Mr.. Cleveland III
Dodge is the treasurer of the funds.
The need is very great, the manage
ment trustworthy, and our duty very,
very clear. Let every one count it a
privilege to exercise self-denial, if
necessary, that we may do our best.
Five dollars month will support a
child. Many individuals might do
this much and more.
Rev. ]. B. Murray Of Lac du-
Flambeau will be glad to receive any
contributions to this fund, as he is
chairman of this work in Villas
comfy.

No ArmiStiCe With Germs.

My neighbours son is seriously i'll
with influenza. A few mornings ago
he, complained of a cough and asked
to be allowed to stay from school,
but the mother smiled knowingly and
said: II wouldn't worry about a little
cough now; the influenza epidemic
is over. You had better run along"
At noon, the boys cough was worse;
he was sneeZing constantly and had a
high fever. Then the mother realized
that although the epidemic had passed
that did not mean that influenza had
entirely disappeared. 1t is still pres
ent and will continue to cause
serious trouble. the rest of the winter.
Do not stop being careful! Keep
away from people with colds. Every
time they cough, sneeze, laugh, Or
even talk, they send a fine spray of
moisture out into the air. If you do
not realize this, hold q mirror before
your mouth as you talk and see the
droplets which collect upon it. This
spray from The nose or mouth OF q
person with any sort Of q cold con-
tains hundreds Of germs. If you
happen to be within foot or two Of
such y person, you will undoubtedly
breathe some of these dangerous
germs into your rose or mouth
Getting your feet wet or sitting in
a draft will not give you cold unless
YOU have these germs within you.
Therefore, keep away from the
germs. Keep away from people with
colds, even though they be members
of your own family. Ard If it is you
who have the cold, make it possible
for others to keep free from your
germs. Keep out of crowds. Keep
Keep away from people. Don't sneeze.
Don't cough. Don't spit. Use your
handkerchief, not your hand, your
handkerchief.
The war is over but do not stop saw
ing food! The epidemic has passed,
but do not stop taking care. ELIz-

TO know that you have friend con,

Of extolling the merits Of the nurse

food.
The great agricultural, livestock
and dairy interests of Wisconsin con
tinue to show increased production Of
food supplies in spite OF the fact that
over 10000 farm boys are in the United
States army to help win the most
righteous war for which men eyel
fought. The following table will show
how Wisconsin farmers answered the
call for more food.

Cheese 234,OO0,000 277,o0o,000
Condensed
milk 100000 800,000,000
1t will be noticed that the only arti-
Gle that was produced in smaller guam
tity than the average was butter and
that can be explained when we see
the increase in cheese and condensed
milk, Villas County did her share in
this work. Wheat was practically not
raised here before this year. This year
there was an acreage Of over 200 acres
and other grains were increased in
about the same proportion.
Over a year ago when prohibition
was seen to be gaining ground dan
gerously'' the brewer crowd issued
frenzied advertisements to the farm
ers that if the brewing OF beer was
stopped there would not be a market
for barley. Then came the agitation
that when the country was in danger
of not having food enough the spoil
ing of grain for beer and Whisl1ey had
better be stopped. Then the brew
ers answered with figures to show
that 'tonly small part of the grain
crop was SO used Do you see how
the last argument was complete re-
buttal or REPUTATION of the first.
Enough said.
Now comes the saddest thing of
all. The University Of Wisconsin
has been running experiments on pig
feeding for nearly three years to as
certain what grains and and other
foods produce pork at the least cost
per pound Anal 10 and behold now
comes the announcement that barley
used with tanzage produces pork at
about nine cents pound and the
best that could be done with corn
and tankage was pork at twelve cents
q pound. Corn has always been
thought the ideal pig feed.
Moral: Raise barley even if it is
not to be made into beer.

HOW CAMEL WAS PERSUADED
Beast, Resented Carrying Bushman's
Teakettle, and Was Lead to Be-
\ leve Rider Did the Work.

In 1865 camels from India were first
brought to Australia for general serv-
ice, says Norman Duncan in his book,
Australian Byways." 1t was happy
experiment. A herd of more than 800
arrived with their Afghan masters In
1884. 1t is estimated that there are
now 10000 camels at labor in the dry,
back regions of the commonwealth. An
Australian loves q horse and respects
the sturdy worth of bullock; he re-
CARDS camel, however, with tolerance
rather than appreciation, and will not
employ so outlandish and perverse a
beast except to the great advantage Of
his needs.
'We used to think" said Jerry, the
camel driver employed by the author,
"that we couldn't get along without the
'Ghans."
Surely they know how to take care
of camels?" asked.
mo fear!" Jerry scoffed. "They had
a lot of superstitions-like curing a
camel with a necklace of blue beads
and that's about all. The government
breeds better camels now. That's only
natural; we're white. don't mean to
say, though, that we've bred the devil
out of our camels. Sometimes I lose
patience with the brutes.
"A couple of years ago I was travel
ing to the north of this with a train
of four pack camels. One morning
when 7 was hacking 7 fOund that 7 had
forgotten to stow away q billy can
(bushman's teakettle). When / picked
that little billy can up and made for
the nearest camel meaning to hang it
on his pack, he began to- double and
groan, as II it wasn't his billy can, and
he wasn't going to carry more than his
share and what did l mean anyhow
by proposing to overload poor camel
that way? So to make things easy I
switched off to the next camel. And
he began to grOan. They all groaned.
Not one of them would have that little
billy can on his back.

hanging 1t on a pack | mounted my
riding camel, with the billy can In my
hands. He was Mortified. Goodness,
how he bawled When he got up he
was bawling still. Wouldn't move g
step! And then leaned forward and
shook that billy can in his face. And
that satisfied him. Off he went with

A BADGE OF HONOR

A Liberty Loan button is a badge
of honor. Rightfully obtained it marks
tho wearer as one who has performed
distinct. definite service to the
country.
Not all can fight, not all can work
directly for the Government: but in
buying Liberty Loan Bond, or War
Savings Stamps, every American rem.
ders some service to the nation. It
has been put within the reach ant
power of every citizen to aid th
United States financially; it is a poo,
American who withholds support from
the Government, from our soldiers ano
sailors fronting death on battleflelds
and oceans.
Iron crosses to German soldiers.
and diamond orders exchanged be-
tween Turkish and German sovereigns
may be but the honors of atrocity.
But Liberty Loan button, simple as
it is, signifies patriotic duty done
and is an insignia of honor.

new COAT OF MAIL
Entire Tunics of Tarnished Silver,
I Dropped From Neck to Knees.
Warrior-kike Corsaee Is Embroidered
With Pearls, 5riiiiants and Flashes
! Of SteeI-JeWeI Headdress.

Not only Cheruit, but many other
French dreSSmakers, have lent their
ear to making a pronounced fashion
out of silver tissue. Two years ago,
observes prominent writer, we grew
excessively weary Of evening gowns
made of superimposed pieces of tulle
on metallic foundation, and when the
thought of silver and gold tissue pre-
sents itself as fashion, we turn away
from 1t in petulent manner.
But wait! This revival of coat of
mail for women, the warriors uniform
of ancient days which no modern fight
er would touch, is another and a more
pleasing thing than the evening gown
Of metallic cloth.
Entire tunics, in the twelfth cen
tury fashion, are made of tarnished
silver dropped from neck to knees, or
longer, over skirts Of blood red or mid
night blue satin or velvet. Except for
the coStlineSs of the material, the tu-
MICS have all the simplicity of primi
tive dressing. Their Introduction into
the early spring fashions has brought
about a quantity of silver used in ev-
cry way.
Nine. Simone of the Theater An
tome in Paris is wearing, / hear, Il
wonderful gown which;is being copied
for this country. 1t: is of silver cloth
faced with red, hanging in panels on
the ground over a slim, tight skirt that
clings to the figure as she walks. The
warrior-like corsage is embroidered
with pearls, brilliants and flashes of
cut steel. To it she adds warriors
headdress made Of the same jewels as
in the corsage and mounted on silver
cloth.
Wherever silver can be fiicked in
and out of frock to enliven it, the
designer loses no chance of trying out
her ingenuity through this channel.
When she abondons the Russian blouse
Of gold and bronze metallic cloth,
which drops over skirt of bronze
satin, she takes the same material and
uses 1t in bands, cuffs and high, wrink-
led collars that enclose the chin like
a fence.
1t Is strange. dea,. this bringing
out of new coat of mail for women
as the spring approaches. Is it rec
ognition of their first victory toward
suffrage and the fact that they may
be counted as warriors today in civic,
national and war work?
