Competitive Sales Campaign for
War Savings Stamps.
Prizes Are Offered and Services Of
School ChiIden Enlisted In
Thrift Work.

Interest is being aroused throughout
the Ninth Federal Reserve district by
the plan of War Savings Stamp sales
campaign that is being followed in
Duluth. Originated In that city by
James H. Harper, chairman for south
ern st. Louis county, 1t has been
named "the Duluth plan" and is ex-
pected, as 1t develops, to bring new
fame to that city and its thrift
workers.
The Duluth plan is competitive
sales campaign Live business men
of Duluth have contributed money for
a newspaper advertising campaign and
an additional $1,O25 to be distributed
in prizes to those who do the best
work as stamp and savings certificate
statesmen.
Duluth has been divided along the
lines of its SO voting precincts and a
woman chairman, In most cases one
who headed precinct work for the wo-
mans committee, Council of National
Defense, has been chosen for each Of
these districts. Each chairman has
one salesman for each 80 registered
voters in her precinct.
The general campaign will run from
August IL until December Is. When
school reopens an auxiliary campaign
will be conducted in public and paro-
chial schools OF eighth grade standard
and under. Prizes for the schools will
be victrolas and musical intruments,
to be the property Of the school.
While native born Americans are
so careless with their money that the
government has found 1t necessary to
institute thrift campaign to induce
them to save, foreigners In this coun-
try realize the value Of the good old
U. 8. A. dollar to such an extent that
they are going back to the old coun-

INT in Great Demand.

The latest thing in. community
meetings in upper Wisconsin is the
TINT demonstration. Washburn and
Hannibal have already seen the new
explosive at work and other towns
are being placed on the schedule as
fast as requests can be handled by
John Swenehart, in charge of the
demonstrations.
That both the man who is afraid of
TINT and the man who is too famil-
lar with it need to get acquainted be-
fore using it is Mr. Swenehart's opin-
ion. Requests for allotments Of the
explosive are, in many counties,
double the number of those that can
be filled at present, showing the in
terest felt in the demonstrations
turnout the land clearing sections.
Among the special points taken up
at the demonstrations are the
amount of the charge and the pack
ing of the explosive. The usual prac-
tice in the demonstrations with INT
is to use perhaps halt pound less
than the charge of 20% dynamite
which would be used in the same
case.
Tamping the charge is half the
game, says Swenehart, SO packing the
explosive is one of the points demon
strated.
In all the work with explosives
electricity is used for decorating, in
order to avoid the danger of hangfires
which would postpone further work
on the field. The electrical method
is instantaneous.

We must also prepare for the fu-
ture. When we have the vote we
want to use it to make better COM
muniJies, better state and nation.
To give Wisconsin women needed
information, series Of six addresses
on Citizenship for Women will be
given in connection with this conyen-
tion by Mrs. Nancy M. Schoonmaker
of New York.
All women interested in this great
theme are cordially invited to attend
the convention and the citizenship
address.
Whether or not you have been a
suffragist in the past, you are now
partial voter and you will have full
suffrage before long. Come to the
convention. Let us counsel together
and prepare for the future in which
the woman voter will be recognized
as a power for good in our state.

KORPAL SERIOUSLY
INJURED BY INT
Accident Occurred Tuesday
Morning While Blasting
Stumps Taken To
Green Ray.

John Korpal of the town Of Wash
ington was seriously injured Tuesday
morning while using INT in blasting
stumps He had lit the fuse and sup
posedly went up close to see why it
did not discharge, arriving at the
stump as the charge exploded. His
brother Stanley who was working
nearby soon noticed what had hap
pened and summoned assistance and
medical aid from town. He was
found to have sustained a broken arm
and jaw and his face and eyes badly
bruised although it is thought that
no permanent injury was done to his
sight. He was taken to Green Bay
the next morning where he will re-
ceiye hospital attention and his
friends hope to hear of his safe recov-
cry from a very close call.
The explosive that caused the acct
dent was some OF carload of the
government INT which had just
been received here by number of
farmers for clearing land. Those
familiar with dynamite do not attrib-
ute the accident to any fault of the
explosive, but to disregard of instruc-
tions in its use, which often happens
after becoming accustomed to hand
ling dynamite. The best authorities
warn against going near charge
or several houss in case it does not
go off at once. 1t is the only safe
rule to follow, and will no doubt be
adhered to closer in the future by
those who have occasion to use it for
any purpose.

..,mmunity Bath"

In criminal trials, Immunity bath"
means exemption from prosecution.
The expression was first used several
wears ago, when several defendants in
a trust case were discharged by the
United States court on the ground that
they had gained personal immunity by
furnishing the evidence upon which
the indictments were based.

1t marked a splendid achievement in
democracy. Vinegar people raised
the sum of s64O by popular subscrip-
tion to defray the expenses of the
program. Everything was free and
everybody did their full share for the
success of the event. The out-of-
town soldiers travelling expenses
were paid by the committee. Several
were there from out of town, one sol
der coming clear from Iowa. Under
the leadership of W. S. Vinegar the
following personnel had charge of the
work attendant upon preparing such
an elaborate celebration:
C. A. Thomas, chairman of home
coming committee.

Their work was well done and the
gratitude of whole town is theirs

With the return of the last of her
soldier sons from the service of Uncle
Sam, Vinegar, the live little town
across the county, staged d fitting
Homecoming celebr alton last Satur-
day and Sunday, October 4 and 5, in
honor of those who have served tile
colors. Starting with Saturday noon
the program covered the grea ter part
of two days. Under the guiding hand
OF W. S. Vinegar, the chief promo
ter of the homecoming, nothing had
been overlooked that would tend to
make tile program appropriate to the
significance of the event. To the re-
turned soldiers and their relatives
and friends who were participants
it was evident that the leader
and his able corps of assistants
worked hard and faithfully to make
the occasion a success, for such it was
from every viewpoint.
Saturday afternoon was declared a
holiday, the lumber company closing
its mill so that all of the employees
might attend the homecoming pro-
gram. A ten-piece band from Rhine
lander provided the music for both
days. The afternoon program started
at two O'Clock. and lasted until five,
during which time there were vari-
Gus games and contests, band music
and tug-of-war between five soldiers
and five civilians. The latter event
was won by the soldiers.
At six O'Clock banquet was spread
for four hundred people. Chairman
G.. A. Thomas delivered an address OF
welcome to the returned soldiers
which was responded to by John
Hodges, Civil War veteran, and Men

Solving the Labor Problem

In whatever part of the
country we go we hear farmers
talking about the difficulties of
securing labor. A shortage Of
farm labor is nothing new by any
means, and probably it is little
greater now than it has been at
any time during the past twenty
years. Doubtless the actual
number of laborers is smaller,
but it must be considered that a
properly directed hired man can
accomplish much more work now
than in the past, due to more
efficient machinery. There is
not going to be any decided i'm
provement in the: farm labor
problem, and we might as well
accept this as a fact. The one
way to get the farm work done
with the minimum amount of
hired help is to organize the farm
business so well that what labor
is available can be used very
effectively. Modern machinery,
we'll laid out farms, rotations,
convenient buildings and, most
important of all, careful plan.

the things that make labor effec.
