A perusal of the list of expenditures
of the 1O4 local draft boards OF the
state and the amounts paid for salar-
les makes one proud Of Rusk county
and the men who comprised its local
board. for they have certainly made an
excellent showing. OF the 104 local
boards. there were only twelve that
Maid no salaries to the members anu
Risk county was one of the twelve.
Only 1919 was expended by the board
here altogether, as compared with
So. 1888 paid out by the Price county
board. $6,3S5.24 paid out by Barron
county $2,367S4 by Sawyer county,
and S6.10412 by Chippewa county.
Salaries paid to members of the board
amounted to $4,129 49, in Barron coun-
ty, $4347.51 in Chippewa, SSSo.S6 Ill
Price, and $1,676.6S in Sawyer county.
Members of the local board of RuSk
county are: William DOdSOn, f. f..
Munroe, J. w. Carow, L. nj. Landmark,

Chancellor Ebert Receives Ma
tionaI Vote of Confidence
at the Polls.
SOCIALISTS IN POWER
Paris interprets German Elections as
Signifying Promising Prospect for
Establishing Fairly Stable
Regime.

Zurich, Jan. 22.-According to re-
turns received here, Chancellor Ebert
has received a national vote of conf
dence in the German elections. His
party, the minority Socialists, appears
to have won complete victory. The
former Liberals, now called German
Democrats, are second. The Sparta
cans were showed under.
Stable Government Indicated.
Paris, Jan. 22.-Early returns from
the German elections are interpreted
here to signify promising prospect
for the establishment of fairly stable
German administration at an early
date. The Majority Socialists and the
German Democrats, who are the sue
cessors of the old Radical party, ap-
parently will go into the constituent
assembly with big lead over the In
dependent Socialists.
Friedrich Won Payer, former vice
Gratis, and the Socialist leaders, Ebert
and Schneidemann, demonstrated their
ability to work together in the old
Reichstag. They also can count on
Konstantin Fehrenbach, the Centrist
leader as an ally in theii efforts to in
stitute government with a basis Of
popular support.
This contamination is regarded In
all Allied circles here as an indispens-
able preliminary to any peace negotia-
tons. The coming into power of these
groups will mean the continuation OF
the present armistice commission and
the probable appointment of Scheide-
| mann, Won Payer and Fehrenbach or
Erzberger as the leading members of
the German peace delegation.
Centrists Strong in Bavaria.
Berlin, Jan. 22.--Majority Socialists
are far ahead of any other party in
the National assembly elections, &C.
cording to latest available returns.
In Bavaria, the Centrists maintained
their strong position. At LEIPZIG In
dependent Socialists obtained a ma
| jority. In Munich, the Majority So
cialists secured Isl 900 votes and the
Independents $4,000. In Baden, the
Centrists polled 100000; the Majority
Socialists, 38S,00O, and the Independ-
ents $4,000.
1t is probable that former Chief of
Police Eichhorn and Hugo Haase,
former secretary for foreign affairs in
the Ebert cabinet, have been elected
to the National assembly.

IT. s. BOYS WORKING RE
SERVE WEEK JAN. 20

The Importance of setting aside a
special week in order to bring to the
attention of the young men OF the ma
ton the all but overwhelming needs OF
impoverished Europe, is so obvious as
to require no accentuati0n from me.
A very large part OF the task OF re-
building a devastated world belongs to
the young men Of this nation, 1t is
not enough that the whole nation shall
have been modified to win the great
war: it is vital that the whole nation
be modified to help broken Europe to
it's feet and to set it once more into the
paths Of felicit0us progress
| trust that the young men of the
country of is years or over, not now
permanently employed, and especially
the boys in our highsch00ls. will re-
spond to this new appeal as they so
finely responded to that other appeal
made to them one year ago; that they
will enter heartily into the work OF
bringing relief to populations appall-
ingly destitute; and that they will join
the United States Boys Reserve to
finish what has been so well begun.
The war has been won. The far more
difficult task remains to secure for the
highest interest of mankind, the fruits
of victory

Secretary of Labor.

DON'T SACRIFICE YOUR
WAR SAVINGS STAMPS

Government officials for several
weeks have been carefully Investigate
ing the methods of alleged dealers and
brokers in War Savings stamps i'll
Milwaukee and other of the principal
cities of the country.
While as yet there is no legal REM
edy. it is anticipated that as the results
of this investigation laws will be
passed making is a misdemeanor for
anyone to engage in traffic of War
Savings stamps.
State Director ]. H. Puelicher, COM
menting upon the government report,
says:
Il have received numerous COM
plants and many specific instances
have been brought TO my attention
where brokers and dealers III War
Savings stamps have purchased the
stamp at considerably less than their
current value and have then re-sold the
stamps at a trifie under the government
price.
This is an unfortunate condition
that | hope will be speedily met at
Washington. 1t is particularly unfor-
tunate in that the people are miSled to
the belief that they cannot get their
money back from the government and
in cases Of necessity turn to the
brokers and make considerable tinan-
cial sacrifice.
The truth of the matter is that
any owner of War Savings stamps
when occasion arises may obtain the
cash from any postoffice III the United
States by simply giving ten days no
tice to the postmaster. Not only will
the government refund every cent that
has been paid. but will pay interest in
addition at the rate of 3 per cent for
the full time that the government has
been in possession of the claimants
money.
This practice of scalping these gov
eminent securities cannot be too
strongly condemned and | urge all who
are the owners of War Savings stamps.
and who for some particular reason
feel that they must convert them into
cash. to take them to the nearest post
master.
II want. also. to urge however that
unless absolutely impossible, all should
retain their War Savings stamps I'M
til maturity. Not only is this the
patriotic duty of every citizen but it
will prove highly profitable to the in
dividual as we'll"

DON'T GIVE UP YOUR
GOVT. INSURANCE
Soldiers and Sailors Are Foolish To
Reiinquish Best and Cheapest
Insurance Ever Written

To the Soldiers and Sailors of
America
Approximately four million officers
and men of the Army and Navy are
now insured with the United States
Government for a grand total Of almost
thirty-seven billion dollars.
You owe it to yourself and to your
family to hold on to Uncle Sans in
surance. 1t is the strongest, safest
and cheapest life insurance ever writ
ten.
For your protection Uncle Sam has
established the greatest life insurance
company in the world-a company as
mighty, as generous, and rs democratic
as the United States Government itself
Just as Uncle Sam protected you and
your loved ones during the war, so he
stands ready to continue this prOtec-
ton through the days of reimbursement
and peace.
The privilege Of continuing your
Government insurance is valuable
right given to you as part of the com
pensatiOn for your heroic and triumph
ant services. If you permit the insur-
ance to lapse, you lose that right, and
you will never be able to regain it,
But if you keep up your present inSur-
ance-by the regular payment of pre-
miums-yOu will be able to change it
into standard Government policy
without medical examination. Mean
time you can keep up your present in
surance at substantially the same low
rate. The Government will write Ordi-
nary life insurance, tWcnty-payment
life, endowment maturing at age 62
and other usual forms of Insurance.
This will be Government insurance-at
Government rates.
The United States Government
through the Bureau of War Risk In
surance of the Treasury Department
will safeguard you and your loved ones
with the spirit and purpose of a Re
public grateful to its gallant defend
ers TO avail yourself of this protec-
ton, you must keep up your present
insurance Garry back with you to
civil life, as an aid and an asset the
continued insurance protection of the
United States Government.
Held on TO Uncle Sans Insurance.

VINO PUT THE FIST IN PACI-
FIST?-THE G. @. p.

Washington, Jan. 21.-The Republi-
can Publicity Association, through its
President Hon. Jonathan Bourne, Jr.,
today gave out the following statement
from it's Washington headquarters
1T is difficult to imagine what the
New York Times hopes to gain Tor It
self or it's party by the remark in re-
cent editorial that Before we entered
the war the Republican Party's behav-
ior was ominous to the country. Be-
cause it had no strong leader 1t was
falling asllnder morally it was eaten
~ with pacifSm and lacked spine.
'Eaten up with pacifism,' indeed
Then what party was it, just before we
entered the war, that made campaign
on the issue of kept us out OF war;!
What party was it whose leader de-
clared that with the causes OF the war
we had nothing to do? What party
was il whose leader declared that
America was too proud to fight. What
party was it that refused to prepare be-
fore we entered the war, dallled with
preparedness after we entered the war
and excused the delay by saying that
the war was 5000 miles away? What
party was it whose specially chosen
publicity agent declared that he
thanked God we entered the war I'M
prepared? What party was it that
furnished the smaller proportion OF
votes for war measures, leaving the
Republicans in the House the task or
leading the fight for essential war leg
islation? II the Times thinks, after
reviewing the record that the Repubh-
can Party before we entered the war
was eaten up with pacitism what was
fine condition Of the Democratic Party
to which the Times has SO consistently
given its support?
Falling asunder morally, indeed !.
What party was it that broke every
important promise it made in the cam
n8isn of 1913 before it entered the cam
paign Of 1916, and then diverted atten-
ton from its dishonesty by presenting
the false and ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS issue
of kept us out of war? What party
was it that imposed taxes lneqUltaDly
distributed? What party was it that
souandered the public funds i'll re-
varding deserving Democrats by APP
pointment to positions for which they
had no qualification? What party was
it that destroyed the merit system IN
the civil service? What party was 1t
whose spine was so weak that it yield
ed with shameful pliancy when the
four brotherhoods threatened to ruin
the nation with a railroad strike
What party was it that changed its
mind at the ever-changing moods OF
the most validating and uncertain
leader that ever occupied the White
House?
viii the New York Times review
the records of the two leading parties
Of the United States and point out the
particulars in which the Republican
party has shown itself to be falling as
under morally or eaten up with
pacifism, or lacking a spine?'
