TAX SALE SOON:
RUSH TO REDEEM
Money Stringency and High
Taxes Contributing Causes
Of Delinquency

The sale of RuSk county lands for
the delinquent taxes returned to cOull-
ty treasurer against them by the 81
town. city and village treasurers of
the county will be held at County
Treasurer Bolden's office on Tuesday,
June II. Probably in the neighbOr-
hood of 1000 unredeemed descriptions
will be offered for sale
A rush by delinquents to redeem
their properties will no doubt be made
just before the sale, though redemp-
tions are daily being made. Some Of
the heaviest taxpayers in the county
allowed their lands TO be returned de-
linCuent this year. The money strin-
gency and the difficulty in borrowing
money no doubt was responsible for
many Of the delnQuencies. The fact
that taxes were high probably ac-
portion Of unpaid taxes was not so
high as was expected by some.
The penalties on delinquent taxes
keep on increasing as time goes on.
There is a penalty Of two per cent
which went on the first of February
and now there is interest, in addition
at the rate of one per cent month";
counting from the first of January. so
that at the present time, the penalty
to six per cent Besides the
other penalties, there will be fees for
the lands for sale soon.

sOnal property taxes. but statements

RUSK COUNTY IN
THE WORLD WAR

HE VOhLh w tlC
Judge Maloney and his son, Sheriff
G. G. Maloney. have been busily en-
gagged the past week in distributing
copies Of the book. "Rusk County III the
World War" compiled by Lieut. Ma
IOney with some assistance from his
fat her
The book is neatly printed and well
bOlmd-a very creditable production in
every Way-and its compilation has
required great amount of painstak
ing work and careful research 1t is
certainly worth great deal to Rusk
county to have such a book published,
for it forms a permanent and concise
record of RuSk c0unty's participation
in the great world conflict
That Rusk county contributed its
winning of the war is graphically
shown by this volume From the time
of our entry into the war" to quote
the book, "Rusk county boys steadily
and quietly dropped into the service
We read in the newspapers and maga-
lions Of men being mobilized and trans
ported and of the billions Of dollars be-
ing spent. and were 50 fascinated by
the figures that we failed to appre-
ciate the comparative value of the
stream of man power constantly flow
ing from our county. Rusk county
contributed more men TO war service
in proportion to population, than did
Wisconsin or the country as a whole
'The total number enrolled in army
and navy during the war was 4,2O3,-
61S. or ! to every % of population.
From Wisconsin. 11S000 were en-
rolled. or one to every % From Rusk
county 792 were enrolled, or to every
20" \ total of CTS Rusk county boys
entered the army and marine service,
and this history of the cOunty's parti-
cipation in the world war gives the
record Of $50 of them. OF this latter
/ number. 361, or G2 per cent, went to
France of whom 270, or three-fourths,
were on the firing line. In compiling
the book, every effort was made to pro-
cure the record and picture OF every
Rusk county boy in the service.
The book records the fact that the
percentage of deaths was much higher
with Rusk county boys than the aver
age in the service. The number of
deaths overseas, up to Nov. Is, 1918,
was J3,160, or / out of every 80 who
went to France and 1 out Of every %
! i'll the service. OF Rusk county boys.
| II died overseas, or 1 out of every %
cry 40 in the service.
The volume starts with the organ
ization of old Troop K" the cavalry
unit organized here by Capt. A. A. Had
den shortly before war was declared
by the United States against Ger
many. The history Of this Organiza-
tion. its reorganization at Camp Mac
Arthur. Waco, Texas. into the 120th
Field Artillery. its incorporation into
the 32nd Division. and the record OF
the valiant work of that division on
the battlefelds of France, is all faith
fully chronicled.
The remainder of the Rusk county
boys were distributed widely into
many different units and into every
branch of the service, but brief rec
ord is given of each. a sketch is also
given of all the principal battles and
campaigns participated in by the Am
erican forces with a map showing the
principal battle1ields OF the western
front.
