to bow before the dove of peace.

It is the first time in the history
OF the country that congress convened
with the president of the republic in
another country. Nevertheless, it
started its session smoothly, and o
vigorous program has been planned
There are several important measures
that need immediate attention, and
under the new organization are likely
to be pushed forward to completion
without the usual dilatory tactics.

Man Mistaken for Squirrel Shot
Hands,

An accident which nearly resulted
fatally occurred in the woods. just
northeast of Monona last Sunday
While a party of hunters were out
looking for squirrels, Dr. Currie, who
has the reputation of being one Of
the bestshots in this section, saw
what appeared to be a squirrel go
ing up the side of tree, and with
out second thought fired at it, when
to his surprise man dropped from
the other side of the tree with yell,
the doctor ran to his assistance and
found John Zimmerman, a young
man who is working for Alvin Kais-
er. An examination showed that the
young mans hands had been filled
with shot. 1t seems that Zimmerman
was also looking for squirrels and
having seen one go up the tree
started to climb after it, DR.. Currie
coming up from the opposite side,
and seeing the hands moving up the
side of the tree naturally took It
for squirrel. Fortunately the young
man was only wounded in the hand
and while it will be sore for a while
there will be no serious results. In
the meantime the doctor IS having
a photo OF a human hand and a
squirrel placed side by side in his
office so he will be sure to distin-
guish the difference the next time he
goes hunting. Leader.

THE woMAN's RELIEF CORPS.
1t is an Organization That Stands
Out Without an Equal.

This organization stands without
an equal. 1t is the largest patriotic
body of women in the world; over
$4,000 loyal women banded to-
gether in the cause of Friendship,
Charity and Loyalty; friends Of the
Union Veterans of the Civil War.
But this does not express all. The
loyalty and patriotism displayed by
this organization has no bounds.
Care of and assistance to our COM
rades is their first recognized duty
and it is most carefully and loyalty
Performed. Among the patriotic
societies of our country, their work
and name is supreme.
Their President, Mrs. Eliza
Brown Daggett, in all her work and
public utterances has enthused her
hearers and pointed the way to an
united country and a higher and
nobler Americanism. This great or
der has raised and disbursed millions
for our comrades. No suffering COM
rade or his dependent one, in vii
lage, cottage, hut or hovel, has gone
| unnoticed. Blessed deeds OF mercy
have been performed in their name
of which no legibile record is ever
made, save, in Heaven
If we would really know what this
organism is, what a wealth OF power
it possesses, and where its best
works are wrought, we must ask the
unfortunate comrade or his depend
ent one, who, but for this Order
would be left kneeling in her somber
robes, penniless and alone, beside
the grave, where-lie her buried hopes
and love.
The name, Sisters of the Woman's
Relief Corps, has great significance.
1t is supreme in the annals of the
Grand Army of the Republic. 1t
blends the life of our loyal and
patriotic Order with the good deeds
they have inaugurated and they will
ultimately carry the name and the
fame of our veteran organization and
place it in the brightest pages of our
countrys history, there to remain as
the synonym of all that patriotism
and loyalty can imply.
l cannot speak too highly of the
vast amount of money our Auxiliary
has raised to assist in the Worlds
War. Their donations to the Red
Cross, the Ambulance Fund and the
Win the War Fund were far greater
in amount than from any other
patriotic order of men or women and
at the same time they loyalty and
! generously attended to every want
of the veterans of the Civil War.
The total amount of money expend-
ed by the Woman's Relief Corps
since it's organization is approx
mately five million, eighty thousand
dollars ($5,0S0, O0O.OO.) Their as
sistance in winning the Worlds War

marks to the rail shopmen look
bearish on corn and provisions
He asks for a wage truce until cur
rent conditions are dissolved. He
declares living is at its peak and
costs probably be lower. He de-
mands that costs of production be
checked at current levels, not in
creased. He says freight rates are
high enough. His remarks are very
fair. They are not bullish on any
United States market In securi-
ties and grain they raise the Ques-
ton of further refusals to work by
shopmen and possible rail move
ment troubles. Public opinion,
however, is with the government
and the men may accept the 40 per

other proof that the government
recognizes the United States has
