c. Malcolm Douglas of Short Hills, N.

divorce evil can be corrected only by
educational effort among the young.
Under the canon the innocent party
to a divorce may be remarked in the
church il the bishop, after examination
of the court records and with legal ad-

Mrs. George Williams

The following obituary notice is
copied from Glendale, CAL, news
paper. Mrs. Williams was formerly
Miss Van Meter of Hudson, and after
her marriage spent a number of
years in this city and at the Clint
Williams home in Kinnickinnic. She
has large number of friends here
who will mourn her loss.
At the funeral services for Mrs.
Hattie Williams, which were hel d
Tuesday afternoon at the Pulliam
parlors, the last rites were said
over the body of a woman who has
been singularly blessed in all her
domestic relations. She was but so
years Of age, but had been a happy
wife and mother for forty-two of
those years and had shared every
phase of the life of her husband,
George A. Williams, to whom she
was married when but 18 years of
age. Though not a professional
woman in the technical acceptance of
the term, she often had played with
him in picture dramas and also on
the road, and their welded life was
the wonder and admiration of their
friends. It's happiest hours, he says,
were spent in Glendale.
About year and half ago they
bought a home on Ivy Street and had
the greatest possible pleasure i'm
proving it. Now every shrub and
tree and flower is reminder, and
a beautiful one to the bereaved hus-
band, of all the plans they made to-
gether and their happiness in carry
ing them out.
Mrs. Williams also leaves a daugh-
ter, Maude Williams, who is with the |
Daddy Longlegs company, now play
ing in Moosejaw, Saskatchewan. and
unable to be with her father. A son,
c. H. Williams, who is also ali actor,
IS playing in Butte, Mont.

Reinstatement in the
Civil Service Of Men Who
Left 10 Bear Arms

Anticipating the time when men
who left the Federal classified civil
service to take up arms in defense
Of the country would be mustered
out and, therefore, seeking employ
ment, the United States Civil Sery-
ice Commission recommended to
the President that provision be
made for the reinstatement IN the
civil service of such men. Accord
ingly, the President issued the fol-
lowing Executive Order dated July
IS, 1918:
"A person leaving the classified
civil service to engage in the mill
tary or naval service of the Govern
ment during the present war with
Germany and who has been honor
ably discharged may be feinstated
in the civil service at any time with
in five years after his discharge,
provided that at the time of rein
statement he has the required fit
ness to perform the duties of the
position to which reinstatement is
sought"
1t will be noted that under the
terms of the Executive Order, man
who was separated from the civil
establishment to take part in the
war may be reinstated in a civil
service position within five years
after his discharge from the mill
tary or naval service. 1t will furth-
er be noted that there is no restrlc-
ton that the man must be reinStat-
ed in the particular position from
which he was separated. Under the
terms Of the Executive Order, he
may be reinstated anywhere in the
civil service, provided that at the
time Of reinstatement he has the re-
CURED fitness to perform the duties
of the position to which reinstate-
ment is sought.

WiSCOnSin'S Fish
and Game Resources
They Are Worth Millions OF Dol
1ars--What Is Being Done to
Conserve Them?
Brief Review of Lecture Deliver
ed Before the River Falls Rod
& Gun Club by Vice-Pres. E.
A. Cleasby of the Wiscon-
sin Game Protective As
ISOLATION

Through Mr.. Cleasby's sugges-
ton, made several years ago, the
law makers Of this state are begin
ming to appreciate the importance OF
gathering information which will
place before the people of the state
the value of Wisconsin's wild life re-
sources. The first evidence Of this
is the required report from the trap
pers, which has brought out the fact
that over 81, 900, 900 worth of furs
are taken in the state annually.
Computing from the sale Of hunt
ing licenses it can be safely said that
200, 900 persons hunt in the state
each year, and from various sources
it is fairly accurately estimated that
$50, 900 people fish in Wisconsin each
year, and through careful study of
the proposition, the following table
is announced. for yearly values of
fish and game taken in this state:
Far 81, OOO,O OO
Game Exclusive Of DEER 100000
Deer CAV. Of $1,000 1,12O,OO0
Inland fish 1O.OOO,OOO
Commercial fish $4,000, 900
Added to the above is an estimate
of 81, 500, 900 as the amount which
hunters and fishermen distribute in
making their trips. and there is also
a total of So, 900, 900 for labor and
equipment of commercial fishermen,
making the total value of Wiscon-
sins fish and game $40. 100000. This
total does not include such other
forms Of wild life as, for instance
the birds, that, as insect, weed seed
and rodent checks, are an asset to
the agricultural interests of the
state worth millions of dollars.
For the preservation and propa-
cation of fish and game and insect
eating birds the Wisconsin Game
Protective association was formed,
and this organization is a statewide
association Of just such clubs as the
River Falls Rod & Gun club. 1t is
not only for the securing of protect
i've laws in the legislature, but to see
that these laws are understood, ap-
preciated, and carried out in every
district which they affect. AS Mr..
Cleasby aptly states, There will
never be any game protection (which
also means there will soon be no
game) until the sportsmen and peo-
pie generally realize their full duty
and through organized effort active
~ assist, support, encourage and CO.
operate with the regularly chosen
officials whose duty it is to enforce
the laws for wild life conservation.
In closing Mr.. Cleasby expresses
very laudable sentiment as follows:
There is only one thing in this
world that counts. You may get
money, you may get distinction, you
may get glory; all of these amount
to little in the fnality. The only
thing that counts in this life is
whether we can do something to
make the world better and happier
for the people who live now, and
for those who will live here in the
future. If we can do this, If we can
do what we are expected to do, in
crease the wild life of this state and
country, as heritage for our chill
dren, we shall not have lived in
vain :,

election officers. A majority of the canvassing board ruled that 1t could not review the decisions of the cleo tion officers in accepting or rejecting rregularly-marked ballots. However, if the board had ruled otherwise and counted the irregularly-marked bal lots, check of the various precincts shows that Wickersham would have gained 15 votes and Sulzer would have gained IA. That means that the con troversy was one as to whether Sul- zer's plurality is 32 or 33.
 So far as the lack of notice being given of the election in certain pre- cincts, the record shows that there again there is about stand-oh, with Wickersham getting slightly the best of it on account of the unanimous de- cision of the board to count the re- turns in such precincts.
 Thus far there has developed abso- lutely no division of sentiment among the members of the canvassing board on the question that Sulzer was elected.-Juneau Empire.

CANVASSINC BOARD
 UNANIMOUSLY AGREE
 ON SULZER'S ELECTION

During the course of the debate over the Wickersham-Sulzer contested election case in congress, former Dele- gate James Wickersham was asked II there was not going to be contest over the seat in the next congress. He replied, Mot if I am defeated; ] have had enough"
 Local Wickershamites are trying to get around this by declaring that Wickersham meant that he would not contest the election if the verdict or the canvassing board were unanimous.
 The record of the canvassing board up to the present time shows that the canvassing board is unanimous on the proposition that Wickersham was defeated The result of the election does not depend upon the differences among members of the canvassing board. It shows that there was diff ference of opinion as to the power Of the canvassing board to go behind the returns as made by the local precinct
