Regarding W. S. s.

The following are recent rulings of
the post Office department.:
/. Postmasters are instructed not
to register stamps where there is any
evidence of an erasure having been
made.
2. Postmasters should not refuse
payment of War Savings Certificates
when they are presented by the per
son whose name appears on them as
the owner, without signs of erasure,
whether the name was entered by the
selling agent or by the owner himself,
unless the postmaster has good evi-
dence that the stamps are presented
by a person who is not the rightful
owner; and provided, also, that the
other regulations regarding redemp-
tions have compiled with.
8. Postmasters are instructed to is
sue a duplicate interim receipt if the
holder has lost the original. qnterim
receipts are given by postmaster in
small postoffices to holders where
they do not carry funds sufficient to
redeem stamps Immediately. The
postmaster's special statement carries
the statement that the original inter
i'm receipt was lost and that payment
was made in full. The receipt is de-
livered back to the postmaster when
payment is made, and is fled as a
permanent record of the office.
4. Whenever postmaster has
made an error in numbering regis
tered stamps and makes correction,
payment shall not be refused on
account thereof, but the postmaster
shall make notation of the correc-
tion, attaching it to the certificate of
the holder, and that certificate when
surrendered with notation by the
holder will be redeemed

lips in the world. The eye is dim,
yet it glows with the soft radiance of
love that can never fade Oh yes;
yes, she is a dear mother The sands
of time are nearly run out, but feeble
as she is, she will go farther and
reach down lower, for you than any
other on earth You cannot walk
into midnight where she cannot see
you; you cannot enter a prison where
bars will keep her out; you can never
mount a scaffold too high for her to
reach and bless you with her death
less love. When the world shall de-
spise and forsake you, when it leaves
you by the wayside to die unnoticed,
the dear old mother will gather you
in her feeble old arms and carry you
home and tell you of all your virtues
until you almost forget that your soul
is disfured by vice. Love her tender
" and cheer her declining years with
holy devotion.

COMMUNITY SING
OPENS LOAN DRIVE
Large Public Meeting Held
Monday Night to Boost
Victory Bonds. En-
loved Bv All.

Villas county's Victory Liberty Loan
drive began Monday night with a
community sing at the opera honse.
A crowded house evidenced the genu-
inc desire TO foster the community
spirit. The Eagle River Band played
several numbers outdoors and inter-
spersed some excellent selections
throughout the evenings program. 1t
was the bands first appearance this
season. No other single organization
creates better impression as to the
progressiveness of the town than a
band. During the last two years es-
pecially it has shown its worth at the
many public gatherings that the vari-
Gus war activities have nee ssitated.
The community singing was led by
Rev. WI. Davies and the high school
students. The program included the
best in patriotic airs, old time melo-
dies and popular ditties, heartily sung
by the whole audience and most thor
oughiy enjoyed.
County Judge Amos Kadcll1e spoke
on the War Savings Stamps campaign
and what it has accomplished in this
county. g. D. Sutton of Illinois, who
has lately become citizen of Villas
county, gave an interesting resume
of the county's ACHIEVEMENTS in war
work and the need to keep up the
splendid record in putting over the
Victory loan.

Health Bulletin

If there is person anywhere who
is more exasperating to a conscien
tious physician than the one who de-
liberately neglects and carelessly I'M
dermines his health it is the person
who coddles himself too much. Many
people belong to the latter class.
Such person recently asked if
he should sleep with one pillow or
two-if he should turn from one side
to the other every half hour so as not
to put too much pressure on his vital
organs. This is an instance where
carefulness has gone to seed. In such
a case, one is disposed to prescribe
the attention of real rough" prize
fighter instead of a physician or a
nurse.
Then there are the two extreme
types of parents. One mother lets
her children run wild; go to movies
when they like, during epidemics of
contagious diseases and when they
should be in bed; buy any kind Of
candy any time they get the price and
and do anything else they wish to do.
The other type of mother is as
fussy as hen with flock of duck
lings. She guards her children until
they are as bloodless and spineless as
a jellyfsh. She is so afraid of acct
dents that she will let the children
cross the street alone; 50 afraid Of
disease that she would keep them
done up in antiseptics all the time
There is little to choose between the
two the two types. They are both
wrong.
What an aggregation of pendulum
swingers we human beings are! Per
haps we have no more right to expect
people to display ''horse sense" in
respect to health and disease than
than they do in other relationships.
But we can keep on wishing they
would, and if we wish hard enough
perhaps they will

Neglect Of implements Costly.

"A million dollars year is eaten
up in damage to farm machinery left
out in the weather thru the winter
by farmers of Wisconsin, according to
a bulletin of the College of Agricul-
turre of the university.
At least 1917 of the states 800, 900, :
600 worth of machinery is exposed to
snow and rain, the bulletin says,
whereas S4O0 implement shed would
pay interest at the rate of % per cent
on $1,000 worth of machinery invest
ment.
'On a trip of fifty miles, says
Dean III. L. Russell of the Agrlcul-
tural college, II saw from the car
window the following machinery in
the field, where it had been dropped
at the end of the days work and left
to rust: Two corn binders, one grain
binder, one tractor, three mowers,
two disk harrows, one hay loader, one
wagon, two gang pIows, two hay
rakes, one side delivery rake and one
manure spreader.
ut would cost 1920 to buy this
machinery today. The way in which
it was neglected would reduce its life
two-thirds."

Our Allies Sacrifices.

It is quite impossible for an Ameri
can to understand or appreciate,
without coming to Europe, what the
war has meant to the people of Great
Britain, France, and, doubtless, to
the inhabitants of the other countries
which have not visited. 1t is equal
ly impossible to be witness of the
way in which the English and French
conceal their awful losses and hide
their heartbreaks without the deepest
sympathy and the warmest admira-
ton for their magnificent courage.
During the war more than 100000
English boys sons of these little
islands alone-were killed in action
or died of wounds. 1t may help
Americans to realize what this means
to consider that if our losses had
been proportionally as great we should
today be mourning the death OF 1850
600 of our sons Two-thirds of all the
great army we sent to France would
be today buried in French soil! Not
home in the United States but
would be home of mourning!
There are $4,000, 900 people in the
British Isles, against about 10000
OOG in the United States. Figure it
out for yourself and try to grasp the
bitter contrast.
Not only has almost every family in
these islands had to mourn the death
of at least one soldier son-not only
has every mother had for four years
to go to bed nightly with the awful
dread of what the waking might
bring-but the conditions of living
here at home have been such as
Americans can hardly imagine-let
alone know by experience.

Be Careful About Fires.

The spring clearing and cleaning
season is here and in view of the
great damage caused every year by
forest, and other spring cleanup
fires, it is not out of place to urge
that the greatest caution be OBJ
served by every one having occasion
to start fires outdoors. Whether
through careless handling, or from
lack of help to keep it from spread
ing, the man who has property de-
stroyed by fires not set by himself
is not reimbursed for the DAM
age sustained. While spring fires
are very necessary for land clearing
and other purposes, the safety first
idea should never be forgotten when
setting them.

WOMEN MAY VOTE
FOR NATIONS HEAD
Wisconsin Women May Go
to Polls November, 1920
to Cast Ballots for
President Choice.

Have all the women of this state
reached the understanding that when
the election is held in November,
1920, they can go to the polls and vote
for those go.betweens, the presiden-
tial electors, who choose the president
and president Of the United
States?
1t is time to begin now to prepare
for that initial plunge into the deep
waters of national politics. Women
should be learning about the League
of Nations and other great national
problems. OF course when they vote
they will have to vote party tickets.
Government of this country is by par
ties and must continue to be by par
tles-there is no other way. But ex-
treme partisanship is an evil, which [
hope women will avoid. They will no
doubt become Democrats and Repub-
li;ans and members of other parties,
but it is to be hoped that they will
not become SO closely tied to party
that they can see only good in one
and only bad in the other. Women
will exercise the strongest influence
for good if they retain, as they I'M
doubtedly will, sufficient independ-
ence to vote for the best man and the
best policy in whatever party they
find that man and policy. A large
body of independent voters will have
a splendid influence in keeping all
parties up to high standard in prin-
ciples and in candidates.
Remember that women of foreign
birth may not vote unless they are
naturalized. The married woman be-
comes a, citizen when her husband be-
comes a citizen, and not otherwise.
ST want to become citizen of the
United States" writes foreign-born
woman. "My husband is not a citizen
and will not get out his papers. Can

come citizen except by getting a
divorce. Unmarried women may take
