MAY STAY IN ARMY
UNTIL JOB IS FOUND
War Department Orders No
Man Discharged Against
His Will to Relieve
Unemployment.

Washington, d. c., Jan. 24.-To
solve the problem Of unemployed dis
charged soldiers, the war department
has ordered that no man be discharged
from the army against his desire until
such time as he obtain employment
in civil life.
It was announced today that orders
had been telegraphed to all depart
ment and division commanders at Sec
rotary Bakers direction, to retain all
men who desire to remain temporarily
in the service, without prejudice to
their subsequent discharge to take
employment. The order says:
sAIl commanding officers will take
steps to insure that every enlisted
man in their commands understands
thoroughly that the war department.
does not'desire to discharge any SOL
der who cannot secure civil employ
ment
ssIt will be made clear to every SOL
der that where he would be normally
discharged under orders for demobliza-
tion he may remain temporarily in the
military service at his own written
request until snch time as he can Sc
cure employment.
1.-THE fact that he requests to re-
main in the army temporarily does
not in any way operate to compel him
to remain in the army for long perl
cd Of time against his will. Any man
who normally would have been dis
charged if he had not expressed his
desire in writing to remain in the ser
vice may thereafter be discharged
from the service at his own request
whenever he thinks he may secure
employment. All such.men as are re-
tained temporarily under the above
authority will be attached tothe most
conveniedt unit and where their SER
vices will be most useful.
In connection with this policy
adopted after orders were issued last
week for rehabilitation OF the COM
bat divisions in the United States, it
was said that action TO prevent large
proportion Of these men from facing
HnemplO yment wsa taken not oilly To
protect the soldier individually but
because Of its effect upon empIoymsnt
conditions throughout the country.
Another aspect Of the new policy is
that the families Of married soldiers
will continue t0draw their allOtments
frem the government during this tenn
'pOrary service. For the time being at
least the war department. will have
ample work to keep the men busy in
handling rehabilitation of other
troops and in storing war material
and in similar tasks.

Ground Hog Day

When our old friend, Mr. Ground

We are promised colder weather
for Sunday, but mo mention has
been made Of the sunshine, and
with the days getting longer, the
chances are that most any time
the ground hog pixies his nose into
the open, lie will see a ray of sun
shine, and notice that his shadow

ted to a packed house, a six reel
moral drama, entitled, Her Body in
Bond. This was very instructive
and interesting picture, such as is
very seldom seen in the northern
country. Mr.. Weed has entered into
the Moving Picture game and intends
showing twice week here. This is
something that every small place
should have, and with such pictures
as were shown here on the in itial APP
pearancey he is bound to make good.
The cost of good pictures at this
time is very high, and such move is
deserving of being backed by every
one in the community. Be booster
and don't let our town be without
some kind of entertainment.

Creamery's Steady Increase.

Manager Herreman of the Eagle
River Co operative Creamery Com
pany gives some interesting figures
on the volume of business done by
that concern during 1918. The butter
fat receipts and amount paid to the
farmers for it show the company to
be doing a steadily increasing bust
ness. The figures follow:
Pounds of cream received -152, 3O6
Pounds of butter fat re-
ceiyed- ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS, 742
Paid for butter -$22, 1881. AZ
Since the creamery has been in op-
GRAFTON the yearly statement has
shown healthy increase in. all lines
and the cash paid out to farmers for
their products has undoubtedly been
the means of improvement of many
of the community's growing farms.
Since the organization became coop
erative it has enlarged its business to
deal in farm produce of every kind.

WHY NOT ENTERTAIN
RETURNED SOLDIERS?
Dinner and Dance Would be
in Order After all Men
Get Home. 1t Win
Show Welcome.

Why not an entertainment and din
ner for the returning soldiers and
sailors?
Practically every other community
inthe state is according the returning
men welcome home, in the form OF
banQuets, entertainments and various
other methods. Eagle River owes 1t
TO her men who served the colors.
They are arriving one and two at a
time on almost every train. Beyond
the greeting and welcome at the train
it is not feasible TO do much more at
this time. But after all have been
mustered out and are back home,
would it not be fitting to prepare for
them dinner and dance or some
other form of entertainments The
funds for such procedure could be
easily secured. Undoubtedly there Is
still in the treasures of the Red
Cross, Loyalty Legion and other or
CARNATIONS, money enough that might
we'll be turned over for such purpose
and should that be unavailable, popu-
lar subscription could easily raise the
necessary amount for dinner and q
dance. Any civic body would readi
~ take over the arrangements for
such occasion.
Think it over. Talk it over.
And when the time comes when all
the men are home again-make plans
for fitting reception for them, just
as a little bit of the appreciation we
all feel for the service they rendered.

GundersOn's Notes
POTATO VARIETIES.


kinds of late potatoes raised here Of
the round or oval type namely, Rural
New Workers, commonly called Rurals
and Green Mountains. Rurals have
purple sprouts and are very dark
green when they come up and remain
so. Their foliage is branched and the
leaves are thicker and smaller in size
than on the Green Mountains. The
blossom of the Rural is lavender or
nearly purple.
In contrast to this the Green Noun
tains are light in color, have white
sprouts and the foliage is very luxuri-
ant, leaves thin ana of good size. The
blossoms are white
Now the experts of the state recon-
mend RuFals for the heavy soils and
the Green Mountain for the lighter
soils.
In this county we have had an ex-
ceIlent opportunity TO observe the two
varieties. TheWest side of the coun-
ty goes heavily to Rurals. There are
few on this side who claim to have
Green Mountains but / have yet to
see any that think are genuine. For
four years have raised equal plots of
the two varieties and have arrived at
some definite results or conclusions.
Each kind has some strong points.
it is useless to deny that. The Rur-
ais are good yielders and are quite re-
sistant to bugs and blight, but as sure
as you have banner crop of them
they grow too large and get hollow.
They are also very late and often
freeze before they get ripe.
The Green Mountains are equally as
good yielders, in fact many men who
have done much experimenting main
tain that they always beat the Rurals
in yield everything else being equal.
They are luxuriant growers and will
ripen from week to ten days ahead
of the Rnrals. Every year for four
years they have outyielded the Rurals
on exactly similar conditions on our
plots. But the large advantage is
that they are seldom if ever hollow.
Another point in their favor is that
they recover from frost in June
much better than the Rurals.
The two varieties are of equal
commercial value as it is very difficult
to tell them apart ID the bin.
Now If yon have been raising Rurals
and are dissatisfied try some Green
Mountains. Do not 20 into the
change all at once. Try some of each
this year and see how they compare
with your conditions.
/ know where there is a choice lot
of Green Mountains within a few
miles of Eagle River and can refer
you to them if you so desire.
Many are going to change this sum-
mer, at least a part of their acreage.
Potato diseases are increasing here.
This spring intend to push potato
seed treatment and want the names
of from 20 to Is farmers who are viii

AUGMENTATION is
AFTER WAR PROBLEM
Glen B. Stiles Gave Excellent
Talk at the High School
Tuesday Evening on
Citizens Duties.

One of the best talks ever given in
Eagle River, concerning the war, it's
cause, future effects, ETC., was given
at the school house, Tuesday night
by Glenn B. Stiles, of Milwaukee.
Mr.. Stiles is covering the state in the
interests of tile War Savings Stamp
campaign, his purpose being to enlist
the cooperation Of every school board
and its school and the pupils in put
ting the 1919 sales of stamps up to or
above the excellent record made by
Wisconsin in 1918.
He discussed the issues past, present
and future from much wider point
OF view than most speakers here have
done, and especially dwell. on the
duty that America has to perform in
the interest Of its foreign born pop
ulation. He gave government statis-
tics showing THAT OF che 100000 or
more people in the United States.
there are 4.000 900 who cannot read or
write in any language, and of which
q
consin. There are more than 3,000, 900
people in the United States unable to
speak or write the English language
of which 12U, 769 live in Wisconsin, 49,
600 OF them residing in Milwaukee.
To make genuine Americans of
these people and their defendants re-
quire that they be taught TO read,
write and understand the language Of
their country.
It is not so strange that many of
these people fail to make desirable
citizens, and fall easy victims to any
vicious and degrading influence that
has formerly been allowed to flourish
unrestrained in the United States.
His address was SO nearly along the
lines on an article from the President
of Columbia University and embodied
In an editorial of the Milwaukee
Journal this week that we append the
entire article below.
Since 1893 the United States has
had large force of teachers in the
PHILIPPINES and Porto Rico for the
purpose of educating the people of
those lands in the documentary prin-
ciples Of civilization and self govern
ment, and necessarily, the speaking
and writing OF English, at least up to
the point of being able to speak and
understand it in the common forms.
Many people have also advocated
annexing Mexico and sending an army
of teachers for term of years so that
in the course Of another generation
tile people of that country would be
capable of intelligent self government.
If these movements are worth while
it seems that it would be as profit
able to see that our own uHeducated
population are made American citi-
zens of the type that no one can be
without the ability to speak, read and
write the language of the country.

The immigrants Point Of View.

In his annual report Presiden
Butler of Columbia University make!
the following timely observation rel
alive to Americanism:
1.-THE task of Americanization involves
something more than mere instruction.
It involves getting the viewpoint of
the adult alien who has taken the risk
of new home in a strange land across
broad ocean and of trying to under
stand the personal economic, social and
political motives that have led him to
this important step. When we under
stand why given group Of adult
aliens has come to the United States,
we shall be well on the road toward UNI
derstaudrng how best to assist them to
become American citizens in the full
lest meaning OF those words. 1t will

proper conditions Of health and safety
are even more important factors in the
making of a good citizen than text
book Instructions in Americ tan history
and American government.
Our attitude toward the foreign
immigrant must become what it has
not been heretofore, one one of sym
pathy and understanding. A mar
who left his own country TO come SO
far must have had a powerful impel.
ling motive. We want to know what
that motive was. We want to- know
what he expected to find here and in
what respects he has not found what
he sought.
We shall probably find that the
things which will attach foreigner
to US and cause him to respect our
institutions are the very things men
toned by President Butler and which
we ourselves must recognize as oil
fundamental Importance. We boast
of the wide-open door Of opportunity
in America, but it may not have
been so wide open to the foreign inn
migrant as we think. Undoubtedly
he has struggled against adverse cir
cumstances Of which we have been
too little aware. And if we think Ills
attitude toward us has not been af-
fected by these things, we are greatly
deceiving ourselves. Bad conditions
of work and living are just as menac-
ing to us as to him and we have a
duty to ourselves as we'll as to the
foreigner to right such conditions.
Americanization must avoid the
mistake of trying TO make the for
eigner over according to set model.
In all essential things we insist that
he shall be an American, but we can
not ask of him that he shall part
with his individuality. There is
much that he brings with him from
his own country that is valuable TO
us. The motto of Americanization
might we'll be: In essentials, unity;
in non-essentials, liberty; in all
things charity MILWAUKEE JOUR
