SAYS SCHOOL SMOKER

The boy who does not smoke stands
more than six times the chance to
graduate from high school, compared
with the boy who smokes"
This is the statement Of Leo G
SChussman, Kaukaun3, who has
spent. several years investigating the
subject in public schools of Wiscon-
sin and whose report on the subject
rs now being sent by State Superin-
tendent Cary to every school and
school teacher in the state. "There
was more than nine times the per
Centage of graduates who smoked in
the poor class than of those who did
not smoke" the report says. 'The
ease of one smoker who reached the
strong class is very striking. This
student was not a hard smoker; he
did not use cigarettes. This is not
to be taken as a brief for the old
briar pipe, but is submitted as very
interesting fact in this study. In all

Sen Of hIr. and EIrs. J. z. StekI
Arrives Esome---Went Over With
Rainbow Division

Capt. c.. F. Stekl, son Of Mr.. and Mrs.
J. E. Stekl, returned early this morn
ing from Coblenz, Germany, where he
has been stationed with the American
army of occupation The young man
arrived in Camp Grant on Wednesday
morning to be mustered out in a short
time, but at once secured two weeks
furlough and lost no time in starting
for his old home town. He will re-
turn later to receive his discharge.
CAPTAIN Stekl has been overseas for
nineteen months, and was a member
of the Second division. This army is
still over there, but on account Of the
length of time this Baraboo boy has
been in the service, he having gone
across with the Rainbow division, he
was granted priority return to this
country. Captain Stekl was in five
big campaigns or parties, as they
were called, during his service. He
was in the fighting at Chateau-Thierry,
Scissors, St. Mihiel, Champagne and
the Argonne, besides being stationed
for time at Toul 1t was for un-
usual bravery during the terrific fight
ing at Champagne that he was deco
rated with the Croix de Guerre, and
the honor bestowed was in connection
with the capture of Blanc Mont by
the Americans, a vital position the
French had been unable to capture.
CAPTAIN Stekl brought home with
him many mementoes of the service he
had seen, including the Red Cross en-
blem that hung from his surgical
dressing station. The flag is torn and
ragged, riddled with pieces of she'll.
During the fighting several dressing
stations that had been established
were shot away and many of the
wounded and attending physicians lost
their lives. At one time when their
headquarters were established near the
front lines, the American army dropped
back at night to new positions, and the
surgeons first aid station was left be-
tween two fires in 'No Mans Land.
A. Y. M. C. A. worker went out to
warn the doctors and attendants of
their predicament and lost his life in
doing so.
When the Second division was sent
to foul to relieve the French in one
sector, the Americans found the
French and Germans at this particular
pOint on quite familiar terms. A large
rOnd separated the French from the
Germans and men from both armies
were fishing either side of the bank.
1t was not long before the u. S.. boys.
were busy with their rifles. This dis
turbed the French who admonished the
Americans that if they did that the
Germans would retaliate and that part
of the line was regarded by both sides
as the "rest" sector
The Salvation army and the work of
the Red Cross come in for much praise
from the returned soldier and he said
all hats should be off to the dough
boys" for they won the war.

If the continued sale after July /, of
