may NOT EMPLOY women
CONDUCTORS IN SUPERIOR

Conductorettes will not make their
appearance on Superior street cars for
some time yet because of a ruling Of
the Wisconsin railroad commission
which prevents women from being
employed in such capacity before six
in the morning or after five o'clock
in the evening. Usually, the cars are
crowded with workers going home
after five, and more cars have to be
operated. The busiest time for street
cars is after 5 o'clock on Saturdays
when 'extras" are most needed, so
that the commissions ruling deters
employment of conductorettes in Su-
perior.
Efforts have been made by street
railway companies in some cities of
the state to have the commission
change the ruling because of lack of
men to operate the cars, but so far
have not had any success, The Su-
perior division Of the street railway
company is not one of the petitioners.

LOYAL READING
FOR FARMERS
Campaign Instituted to Gut Off
Circulation Of Newspapers
With Dis|oya| Tendencies.

One of the principal aims of the
cooperation campaign which loyal
farmers of this section of st. Louis
county will carry on during the sum-
mer and fall months will be to stamp
out, through general appeal, the cir
culation of periodicals and newspa-
pers whose loyalty is questionable.
Investigation has developed the
fact that two such papers now have
circulation of 20 each in Gowan,
where the first meeting of the cam
paign will be held Aug. 4.
No strong-arm methods will be
FUSED in riding the farmers of this
faint in their loyalty. Those at the
head of the movement plan to carry
their campaign successfully through
by a. series. of. meetings such as the
one planned at Gowan. Theirs will
be an educational method. They hope
to INDUCE the farmers to cease their
subscriptions to these papers by show
ing. the methods by which these pa
pers are alleged to practice thinly-
yelled. sedition.
Postmasters in the various town.
ships and farming. communities will
be enlisted to aid in the campaign by
furnishing data concerning the ci:cu-

WOULD SUBMIT
!: QUESTION AGAIN
Superior Building Trades Coun-
Gil Petitions Special E|ec-
ton on Bond Issue.

The Building Trades council of SUI
perior has petitioned the city commits
sion to call special election on the
matter of the proposed auditorium
bond issue of 100000 which has
twice been voted on. 1t was presented
at the spring elections and the vote
was declared void because election
notices were not posted early enough.
Following is the resolutions:
Whereas, the people of the city of
Superior have twice voted for the
erection of an auditorium and armory,
which votes are ineffective on account
of failure to comply with the provi-
sions of law with regard to the sub
mission of the same, and
whereas, we deem it of great i'm
portance at the present time, that a
building be constructed, without de-
lay, suitab BILE for purposes of an armory
and for the housing of troops. if
necessary.
Nov therefore be it resolved by
the Building Trades council of the city
OF Superior to call a special election
at as early date as possible and to
submit to the people of the city of SUI
perior, in formal way, the question
of the erection of an auditorium or
armory and the issuance of bonds
therefor.
'Be it further resolved that in or
der to reduce the expense of such
special election that we agree, in CO.
operation with other organizations
that we will secure volunteers to act
as election officials for nominal
ompensation.'

CONSUMPTION OF BEEF

The demand for beef for the army,

the food administration is asking that
the consumption of beef of all kinds
be greatly reduced for the time being
On the other hand we have increased
cur supply of pork and an economical
expansion of the use Of this product
is advisable at this time. Milk, cream

Unusual importance attaches to this

Men OF DRAFT AGE CANNOT
ENLIST IN THE ARMY

Numerous inquiries have been re-
'elved at the local recruiting office
i'll regard to the advantages a man
enlisting now has over the man who
waits to be drafted. An erroneous i'm
preston seems to be prevalent that
registered men can enlist at any time,
and avoid being called by their local
boards. Such is not the case, how
ever. sRegistered men, regardless of
what class their local board puts
them in, and regardless of the fact
that their local board is willing to give
them a release, cannot enlist in the
army. Enlistments in the army must
dome from men outside the draft age,
namely, from Is to 81 and from 81
to 40 years of age. .-- .'.1 --.-. =.
