 Two of them appeared in Blooms bury recently. Each wore his service tuuic with wound sctripes. Between them they truudled a street piano, and the man who turned the handle wore the ribbon of the Military Cross
 On the back of the piano was a piacard bearing these words:
 "I9I4-nor 100 proud to fight"
 "1919-not too proud too ask a gra- Juity."
 T am not at the last myself" said one of the officers, but I couldn't see my friend go into the street with -his machine alone. He cannot get work and he cannot get his gratuitv, and he cannot live on a pension of S1o0 a year.
 His leg was shattered. and he wears silver splint. He was in the hospital nineteen months. They give him pension of S1OO a year. but he ottii | set lIlt'alttli lTGt1Jf0 GnL. and the money due him as gratuity is not paid him by the government. No doubt the government will eventually pay it, but meanwhile he has to live.
 We are going to take this machine back. We had no idea the experi- enCe would be so humiIiating. All the money we have received has come from laborcrs and poor women. From the well 10 q . we have not had a siXpencC, yet a poor laundry wo- man gave us a shilling"
 These young officers were not more than 21. Both had entered the army early in -be war and had fought at GallipoH. Both had been wounded at aPsschendale on October 26, 1917, and both had been invalided out of the army
 The evening of the same day a party of street singers, two men and woman, attracted a crowd in Pic CadilIy. Both of the men wore the silver badge of men who had been discharged from military service as physically unfit.

THREE BILLIONS
 OF LEMONS AND
 ORANGES EATEN

More than three t.Iion California oranps and lemons were eaten by the American public during the last year, according Co the annual report of 2Ir q. Harold Powell. General Manager of the California Fruit Growers Ex- change, which was issued today.
 The crops of lemons and summer oranges were sach the largest in his tory. The Exchange which is a CO., operative, nou-proft organization of 10000 growers, handled 23,0s2 car loads
 Prices for oranges and lemons have prices in general commodities. rartic- ularly those purchased by the pro- ducar, according to the Exchange re- port. The Exchange selling cost. how ever. is lower than it was ten years ago due to larger volume, and the cost of marketing oranges and lem ous through the Exchange has been reduced to a point where it is lower
 than the cost of selling any other per lshabIe food crop.
 Selling costs for the last year aver aged five and tWO-tenthS cents a box, or only one auE four hundredths per cent. of the 1T lits delivered value. Large increases in the California lemon and summer orange crops are predicted for the next few years. Newspaper and magazine advertising Is glyt0~ much of the credit for keep ing the use of oranges and lemons ahead of the rapid increases in pro- ,duotion."

FOOD AND
 CLOTHES SCARCE IN POLAND
Reconstruction Unit of the Y. ". c. A. Will En-
 dcavor to Give Relief.

New York, Sept. S.-ConditIons fin Poland, due to lack of food, clothes medical aid and hospitals, are de- 7cribed graphically in a message just received uy the Overseas Committee of the I. W. C. A. from Lois Downs of Pittsburgh, head of the |. W. C. A. Commission to that stricken country.
 This mission went into Poland sev- eraI months ago to investigate con- ditions and discover how members of the Polish Grey Samaritan unit which had been trained for reconstruction and social work in the ixnative land might best be used to advantage.
 Miss Downs tells of a trip into the Department of the East-territory that is being taken from the Bolshe- wiki: ''It is just impossible for me to give you any idea of the utter lack of food, houses, clothes. medical aid, hos pitals-everythinE she writes. T saw many sick, hungry, uncared for children that were too weak to eat or cry. I saw many children in all sorts of cOndiuo~7 and only heard six crying. It sounds unbelievable.
 Men, women, children, horses and cows. if q family is lucky enough to have them, are all living together in dugOuts, boX-cars, in open wagons, along the roads in the open with no covering or shelter from the heavy rains. Refugee camps have, at best, only bare, wooden platform for each family. All these camps are filled with typhus, smallpox and cholera cases.
 Tn one hospital thirty-six cases of dysentery broke out within two days. Men, women and children were all ly- ing on the floor in small airless rooms with only one dirty blanket At the same camp we found a ward filled with badly wounded soldiers suf- fering from dreadful lung, head and stomach wounds. The surgeon, a splendid man who spoke D. glish per fectly, had operated on these men without an anaesthetic. saw an eight year-old girl stand up and have iodine put on her hand, which had been blown off by hand grenade and never make one cry.
 Poland is surely in dire need of relief and workers. Everyone here is in great need of normal recreation. The women and girls are dreadfully nervous as the result of years of fear. One simply cannot keep them from continually discussing horrors.
 ''Very few factories are running so that the girls who formerly worked in them are now doing public work with the men-clearing up buildings that have been burned or blown up by the Russians and Germans, help ing in the public gardens and such things. I did see some women and girls working in a factory outside of Warsaw They were carding wool and received less than a dollar a day. Con ditions in the factory were most primitive. The girl simply came in, hung up her shawl on anything handy and --ent to work. Few of them wore more than one garment. None of them had shoes or stockings.

 Some, of more cold-blooded tenn perament. possibly, cry, What fool ishness! What waste.' thinking of the needlessness of the whole affair, vet they cannot but admit the heroism Of the sacrifice. True, his impulse meant the curtailment of the respon- abilities and obligations which must ensue necessarily, but no doubt he might have the same feeling of self abasement of an old sea captain, aged in the command of his vessel, when the latter sank without him.
 If such devotion and sacrifice were the common rather than the isolated fact in life, would the goth century Reno hold It's popularity?

SOLDIERS TO BE DEPRIVED
 OF SOCIETIES

Boston, Sept. S.---The Committee on War Activities of the Knights of Co., lumbus, in resolutions passed at a meeting here, protested against the propohes new policy of the War De- part-7ent to take over, as a part of the work of the army, the camp ac- tivities of the welfare societies.
 This action was taken, 1t was said, in answer to a suggestion from Col onel Jason s. Joy, executive officer of the Commission on Training Camp Activities of the War Department, that welfare societies cease all actiyl- ties fin camps
 Prom our experience we can safely say that the men in service welcome the relief from war supervision and military methods" said the resolu- tiOns.

 Was it right for the husband to die in this fashion? This point has aroused interest far and wide.
 Some say that it was nothing more or less than suicide and suicide in any form is sin.
 others only take into consideration the three children left destitute by the death and claim that it was the husbands duty to forget his grief as far as possible in caring for his babes

berries were grown on the farm
of Walford Johnson near the

largest, juicest fruit so far shown
in Eagle River. Walford Johnson
hasn't entered the stra wberry
game in the real way vet, but
there is hopes of his doing so in
the future if the fruit grown is a
criterion of what his acreage will
produce. The Conover district
is getting into the small fruit
industry and there is decided
future for the grower of this
luscious fruit.

HAY CROP WILL BE BIG
Growth of Timothy and
Clover Hay Never Better
in the History of the Coun-
ty.

"There is nothing to prevent
us having the largest crop o.
hay ever grown in Villas county,
providing we get the proper
kind of curing weather" So
quoted an old farmer who has
an abundance of hav now
lreadv for the mower on his farm
out of Eagle River.
And his words are true. Farm
ers of this section have com
menced harvesting their extra
large crops ofclover and timothy,
and if the weather holds good,
the ink will be put upon thirty
dollar hay next winter and
spring.
With the abundance of rain,
and extra warm spring-in fact
one of our regular old time sum,
mers like we used to have, there
is hardly any need tor any, farm
er or settler to buy hay next fall
or winter. The croppage this
year is abundant, every old road
being in condition to furnish
several tons Of good hay.
Just an idea of what Villas
county stock owners paid out
last fall and winter, the local
creamery company sold some
thing like $25, 900 worth of hay
and feed. Dobbs Bros. of Como
yer about $4,000. Phelps
sold something like the latter
amount.
You farmer, now is the time to
think over that little extra clear
ing job necessary on a lean year
to furnish you more forage and
save buying. Why not be in a
position to sell, rather than give
the other fellow your money?

OPENING BOYS CAMPS
Winnepe and CranIeigh Well
Filled With Youngsters for
the Coming Eight Weeks.

Cranleigh and Winnepe, the
two camps for boys on the low
er Eagle Chain Of lakes, and both
located on beautiful Catfish lake,
will officially open for the eight
weeks outing season for the
boys, beginning this week.
Cranleigh will open it's initial
year with about thirtye6ve boys,
while Winnepe will handle over
a hundred this year. A. S. Hoare
of Milwaukee, who recently pur-
chased the Emmons resort prop
erty on Catfish, is no novice in
the handling of boys in camp, he
having had previous experience
in England and in the States.
For the past several years be has
been connected with the Milwau-
kee Country Day School at Mil
waukee. Messrs. Marriott and
Thomas, owners of Camp Win
nepe are old hands at the helm,
having conducted Winnepe for
several years past. Mr.. Marriott
is an instructor in the Soldam~
high school at st. Louis. Mr.,
Thomas is athletic instructor in
the Birmingham, Ala, city
schools, having been in that po-
sition at Birmingham for the
past two seasons.
The operating of a camp for
boys in the big woods of nor
thern Wisconsin is just i'll it's in
fancy, and the city parent is be-
ginning to realize the great
health and man-building powers
it possesses on the boys. In
stead of permitting the boy to
idle away his time in the city,
getting into bad company, per-
haps. but invariably losing his
health and becoming an effemi-
nate sort of a chap, the boy is
now sent to the woods in com
pany with other boys, placed un-
der the supervision of capable
men who know what the Ameri-
can lad really wants to build
himself up as a real American
man of the future. He is not
held down with military disci-
pllne-has just the real amount
OF routine discipline to learn him
what is best, but at the same
time his freedom is untrammeled.
Take the hundreds of bows who
are in camp for the eight weeks
period and when they leave you
will find them men in actions
and with a constitution that is
worth real money to himself and
parents. Camp life gives the lad
a chance to broader himself in
every way. To prove this, watch
the boys when they arrive this
week. Then see them when they
return home to the city late in
This tells the tale bet
ter than any article ever written.
Winnepe's boys will arrive this
morning under Mr.. Marriott's
supervision. Cranleigh's boys
will come up Saturday morning
chaperoned by Mrs. Hoare and
several councillors.
