Miss Isermann, Talking for
Interviewers in MiIwau-
kee Describes the
Men Out There.
HAS PRAISE FOR KENOsHA
Returning Nurse Assures Friends in
the Metropolis That Even Paris
Gould Not Lure Her From
"the Old Home Town.,

Miss Lillian Isermann "a red star in
Kenosha's Service Flag, visited Mil
waukee last week and received fatter-
ing attention from the newspaper folk
of the upstate metropolis. They per-
suaded her to tell a few tales out of
school, some of which are cleverly re-
told in the following excerpt from the
Sunday Journal:
eff you could hear what American
soldiers abroad have to say Of the
United States, your heart would thrill
with PRIDE" said Miss Lillian Iser-
mann, member of Milwaukee Base
Hospital unit %, who has just re-
turned from nine months service in
France. "The U. S. A. is all they
think, talk and care about. believe
they would come back in a tub, they
are SO anxious to get back.
Kenosha Beats Paris.
Miss Iserman confessed that she
was offered a ticket to Paris or to
New York and she took the latter
without hesitation. "Kenosha and
Milwaukee looked better to me than
Paris" she declared.
Miss Isermann is the daughter Of
Mrs. Anthony Isermann, Kenosha. She
has many friends in Milwaukee, as for
four years she has been chief nurse
of the Milwaukee Soldiers home. Be-
cause of the health of her mother she
was given permission to leave for
home, but she has not yet been mus
tered out of service.
Rank for Nurses.
Regarding rank for nurses, Miss
Isermann declares that generally it
would be good thing, and that many
times such insignia of authority would
be invaluable. She thinks nurses
should qualify for their commissions.
''Just what was the first thing you
did for the boys when they came in
from the 'front.'" was asked Miss Iser-
mann. "First we washed their faces
and then we fed them,' she replied.
"After that, if it WASH Il too late and
they were not too exhausted, we
bathed them and of course gave them
their cigarette. -
Graves Are Cared For.
Of experiences varied and thrilling,
the Milwaukee nurses have much to
tell, but they also add that the awful
side of war, its heart-rendering death
bed scenes, they will never forget. Ac-
cording to Miss Isermann, the French
women and children always attended
the funeral of an American soldier
and brought flowers for his grave.
"We tried very hard to write to the
mother of each boy who died, but
sometimes, L am sorry to say, it was
almost impossible to keep up.''

To Urge Work on
Victory Gardens
State Society Issues Seven Circulars to
Aid Young Gardeners in Their
Work This Year.


The War Gardens Of 1917 and 1918
will be the Peace or Victory Gar
dens of 1919.
Fifty-six cities had efficient garden
organizations last year all aided by
the State horticultural Society, which
was designated by the State Council of
Defense to head the work.
When the State Council was demob-
ilized only four Of its activities were
retained of which the garden bureau
was one.
Secretary F. Cranefeld urges these
cities to retain their organizations and
carry ON the work this year. While
the gardening this year will be for the
fun and profit there is in it, there
is need of direction such as can be
given only by a well organized city
garden committee.
The seven popular garden circulars
which were distributed last year have
been reprinted by the horticultural
Society. Three other circulars 'tStraw-
berries" "Raspberrieso and EffTree
Fruits all written in the same brief
and interesting style have been added
to the series.
In order to promote the 1919 garden
work, Secretary Cranefeld offers five
hundred copies of each of these circu-
lars free to every city which reports
a garden committee organized for the
season of 1919 and additional copies
at cost. Our local garden committee
will no doubt be in a position to quail
fly ON this offer.

APPRECIATION OF THE CROW.
Justice at Length Done to a Much
Maligned Bird.

for many generations the crow has been
regarded as an myeterate enemy Of the
farmer. Various means have been de-
vlsed for the prevention of his supposed
dcpredations. and much ingenuity has
been displayed in the fabrication Of scare
crows. Now, it is announced by expert
authority, it has been definitely shown
that instead OF being an unmitigated nui-
sance the crow is in reality a helpful
friend OF the grain farmer
Norman Criddle of the Dominion Futo-
biological department at Treesbank Mani
toba, claims to have discovered that the
multitude of crows which frequent the
grain fields Of the Northwest are in search
Of various larvae, such as cutworms, wire
worms, and white grubs, that are ex-
posed in the processes Of preparing ground
for sowing or planting That they oc-
casionally pick up seed grain is admitted,
but they naturally subsist upon grubs
and worms. As these pests seem to de-
~ all efforts to eradicate them, many
progressive farmers welcome the visits
Of the crows rather than discourage them.
The crow becomes exceedingly tame in
captivity, and it is this characteristic
which has afforded opportunity to study
its habits systematically Rochester Dem
