w. N. G. COMMUNITY BUILD.
INGS

Each of the new units of the Wis
consin National Guard and all of the
older ones, not already furnished, are
to be equipped with steel lockers for
the arms and equipments. These
lockers are of the regulation regular
army post equipment, complete in all
details an large enough to accommo-
date all the uniforms, shelter tents,
blanket rolls and ether personal
equipment of each soldier and ready
for instant use.
They come in tiers of five to a row
and are an ornament to any armory as
we'll as solving the serious problem
of the Quartermasters department rel
ative to storing government property.
They come in knock down shape and
can be quickly assembled and put in
place. Some of the older guard units
organized previous to Nineteen Seven
teen, already had them but enough
new ones have been ordered to equip
all armories in the state, wilh Stand
ard Rife Racks.
The armory question is a problem
thus far for some of the newest of the
proposed guard units.
In Wausau the question of an arm
ory or community building has been
talked of for the past two years and
since the close of the war il has been
agitated stronger than ever. You can
put it down that the sentiment in
Wausau is for such building. In
Beloit there is much talk for a build
ing which will have a place for the
National Guard company in that city
with ample Office room for the officers
and club rooms for the men. The
same is true in Ladysmith. where a
cavalry troop has been organized
Milwaukee has several sites for its
infantry armory in view, while the
Cavalry and Batteries are already pro-
vided for. Platteville and many other
stations which had companies formed
in 1917 already have promises of
armories erected by the city and with
| the state aid provided for to cover a
part of the expenses these problems
should be adjusted. Plans are at pres
| ent underway in Madison for the
erection of building that will ac-
commodate the several units that will
be assigned to this city and at the
same time afford large enough audi.
! tOrium for large gatherings.
| General Holway is most anxious tc
: have all officers who served with the
forces of the United States in the late
war, whether with the national gnarC
units, national army or regulars
make application to him for commits
sions in the Wisconsin National Guarl
Reserve. This also includes all offic
ers of the present Wisconsin Stat'
Guard.

CLASS IN NURSING -
PROGRESSING NICELY

Miss Mary Larson was compelled to

Chicago, and they hope to have this
nurse available by the first of Decem-
Der, not only for the city but for the
county. One hundred women are now
taking the course.

all girls in the high school and in

who can be reached and want to take
it. There is much interest and en-
thusiasm in the class.

THE DEER SEASON
OPENS THIS WEEK-LAST
TEN DAYS IN MONTH-BE
CAREFUL WHEN YOU SHOOT

With the approach of the deer season
which opens on the 2lst OF Nov, the
apprehension of the State Conserva-
tion Commission grows apace. As al
ready pointed out. the present season
bids fair to over-shadow and out-riVal
ANYTHING before recorded, in its prob
able effect on the Wisconsin deer herd.
But the menace to the deer is as moth
ing compared 10 the hazard OF human
life. inherent in the threatened con-
gestion of hunters in the northern
counties of the state. The number OF
deer tags issued this season has
reached the enormous total of approx
mately $4,000 as against an average OF
about $4,000 in prior years. The i'm
pending congestion is materially aug
ments by the fact that the open ter
ritory was reduced by the closing OF
Jackson, Marathon and Trempeleau
counties. So it must be evident to the
most casual mind that there will be
a hunter in every angle of the woods.
There will be more hunters than deer
in the timber The commission there
fore deems il an imperative duty, Of
fcially and in their indiviual capacity,
to urge upon the sportsmen the great
est caution in the use of the rifle. Any
reckless discharge of these powerful
weapons at anything that moves,
must be considered nothing short of
deliberate crime. Far from its being
the slogan of real crack shot" we
believe no true sportsman( and we
have reason to know and respect the
sportsmen of wisconsin, will be guilty
of il. We ask the hunters co-opera-
ton, as man to man, to spread this
solemn word of warning. AS con-
servation measure it is our policy to
urge the sparing of the does and
fawns: at least the fawns. But in this
present appeal to sporting manhood,
frankly. shoot does and fawns If you
must, slaughter everything the law al
lows-but mark well this-Do not fail
To look before you shoot. Do not en-
ter the woods with the impression
that "the one buck law is dead shoot
at anything you see that looks like a
deer. Let every huntsman stay his
deadly bullet until he knows beyond
a doubt that he is shooting at a deer
and that his mark is not human
heart.

GOING TO CALIFORNIA

Chester Glass and family are to de-
part for California this month. This
is deeply regretted by their hosts of
Wausau friends. Mr.. Glass has for
years been president of the Glass
Fruit company but recently sold his
interests in that concern. The cir
cular sent out by the Rotary Club
yesterday says that he is going to
"help Mary Pickford, Charlie Chaplin
and Douglas Fairbanks keep that town
in the limelight. He is not going into
the movies, of course; he is going to
be carload shipper of what has made
California famous-fruit."
