State Draft Expense Average Low.


The average cost of sending Wis
consin men to war was 1888 each, ac-
cording to the second report of Pro-
vOst Marshal General Enoch Crowder,
distributed to all local and district
boards. The national average is set at
$3.50 by Crowder.
The cost per man averaged the high
est in Delaware, at $10.94. The total
cost of the draft administration in
Wisconsin up to Sept. 1, 1918, was
1865, 267.33. The average cost of reg
istering each man was $1.42, while the
national average was $1S6. These
figures offset the charges of graft re-
peatedly made in reviewing the draft
administration in this state.
South Dakota alone is lower than
Wisconsin in percentages of assertions
or draft evasiOns. The percentage av-
erage is 1.26 for Wisconsin and 1.04
for South Dakota. Arizona leads the
desertion list with a percentage Of
1890.

straight football the line held and it
was only when they resorted to shifts
and the open game that they gained
steadily. Farmer at guard showed
up beautifully at defensive work.

Camp to be held at the State Fair,
Jackson, October 1925. One of these
boys will be the prize-winner in the

Hon. J. T. Thomas of Grenada has
courteously donated the use of a
building On the fair grounds, former
ly used for the exhibit of products
raised in the territory of the Grenada
Banks. Here the club boys of the
several counties will receive royal en-

der the direction of M. Sides and 9TH
er club workers, receive the largest
possible benefits both educational and
social, from the fair.
The county agents, it is hoped, will
be able to make local arrangements
for defraying the travelling expenses
of these boys. Club members who are
eligible are urged to get in immediate
touch with the county agents.
Mr.. Sides advises each boy to bring
quilts, 2 sheets, and 2 towels.

The hotel was formerly the country
residence Of the Decies and will be
known us The Scotswood Golf hotel.
Guests will be welcomed at daily price
of So per head, but with the understand
ing no liquor will be served.
In its place the pcrspiring golfer or
race goers can have lemon pop, ginger
ale, ice cream, milk and many other soft
concoctions.
There are, however, several oasis. Not
far from the hotel is the aristocratic
and fashionable Swinlcy Forest Club
where those fortunate enough to have a
friend for a member may get "hard" !"
liquor.
Local pubs are hooking forward to
" "landoffice" business.
But it is not because Lady Deeies is
q prohibitionist that she is running a
temperance hotel.
Licenses are hard things to get these
days and it wol't be until next Febru-
ary that one will be available. 1t IL
expected then that one will be Sought

that though it was true the COW had
