| The Wisconsin State Industrial
Commission sends out a letter to the
press and public under date of April
| Z, urging ali citizens and cities to get
together on proposition to clean up
and brighten up their premises, as a
measure for safety from fires and
disease, as well as for the added value
that comes to al property with every
Improvement in its appearance.
The commission urges that the first
week in May be observed as -"Clean-
Up week, and calls attention to Sec
tion 927-P of the Statutes which pro-
vides that cities may direct the re-
moval of ashes and rubbish at public
expense. This is being systematical-
ly done in Wisconsin Rapids, and ev-
cry citizen should take advantage of
the service.
Among other suggestions made by
the Commission are the following:
Women's clubs, commercial clubs
and other civic bodies should take an
active part in cleaning up and beauti-
flying the city.
Boy Scouts and school children can
be organized as cleanup squads for
parks and school grounds and build
ings.
Firemen and local health officers
should see to it that this cleanup
work is done thoroughly, and should
also inspect school buildings and 9TH
er public buildings for safety and
cleanliness.
When your home town is clean,
keep it so. One cleanup year only
may prove as valuable as one annual
BATH
There are other things which need
your attention, such as cleaning and
repairing chimneys, replacing old, dry,
moss-covered shingles with incom-
Jbustible roof coverings, replacing bro
ken and missing siding and closing
up other needless walf openings where
sparks might enter, rusty smoke
pipes and defective electric wiring.
Spring is the painting season, burn
all oily waste and rags and prevent
spontaneous combustion.
Whitewash on interior woodwork is
fire retardant.
Do not burn rubbish near build
ings or on a windy day and see that
the fire is out before you retire. Watch
children playing around the fires;
clothes ignite readily and death or
bad burns may result.
Make your town the cleanest in the
state.

CAUGHT IN
FRAUD ATTEMPT

T. c.. Larschiedt of Wausau was ar
raigned in Judge Gets court Mon
day morning on a charge Of obtain
ing money under false pretenses. He
took an adjournment until next Sat
urday, and was released on bonds of
$500.
Larscheidt was in Wisconsin Rapids
and neighboring towns in March and
at that time it is alleged took orders
for carving sets and aprons, and ac-
cepted a cash payment Of 81 on each
set from over twenty local people,
stating that the sets would be deliv-
cred by parcel post. The carving sets
were never delivered.
Chief of Police R. S. Payne, who
handled the case and brought about
the arrest of Larscheidt issued a
statement urging people to report
cases of this sort to the proper au-
thorities. He pointed out that of the
twenty Or more people who were vic
timized only one made a direct COM
plant and that it was impossible for
the police to put stop to fraudulent
schemes if the people dc not co-ope-
rate by giving the necessary inform
alton.

KEEP YOUR WAR
Savings STAMPS 5

In order that the six hundred mil
lion dollars worth OF War Savings
Stamps now outstanding shall be re-
deemed at full value in cash when
they become due on January first,
1928, the United States Government
is pushing the sale of Treasury Saw
ings Certificates in every way pos
sible, especially through the local
post offices throughout the country.
Posters and newspaper publicity are
being used in large quantities to pro-
mote the sale of these desirable gov
ernment securities.
The public is especially warned a
gainst selling the War Savings
Stamps and Certificates to scalpers
who are now trying to gather them
in. They will positively be paid in
full at the time they become due. A
warning is also given against selling
these stamps now and buying the
speculative stocks and in swindling
schemes, on the false promises of big
returns, made by smooth statesmen.
Talk over the matter of these Trea-
sury Savings Certificates with your
Postmaster They are absolutely
safe, good-paying government secur-
tiles and should be heavily. purchased

ters in Chicago. It says in part:
''The American Committee for Rus
sian Famine Relief, which has been
making an appeal fer the aid of the
starving in Russia for the past month,
has announced receipts from various
Wisconsin cities and villages.
Larger cities in the state have not
yet reported, officers of the committee
said. Milwaukee is now engaged in a
campaign to raise more than $4,000
Sheboygan is said to have passed the
$4,000 mark.
In addition to funds, the committee
announces receipts of many commod-
tiles shipped direct to the committee
in care of the 500 Terminal Ware
house Company, Chicago. AS fast as
carlots accumulate, they will be ship
ped to the American Friends Service
committee, better known as the
Quakers, for distribution in the fam
inc area.
According to officers of the relief
organization in Chicago, an effort is
being made to trace famine relief
funds raised in Wisconsin through
efforts Of the American committee,
and consigned to other organizations
Only by careful investigation, it was
said, will it be possible to ascertain
the full extent of Wisconsin's response
for the relief Of the starving in Rus

JOE N()RTONT
HAVE: RECOUNT

Joe Norton, who was defeated in
the race for the city treasurership
last week Tuesday by a vote of 861 to
858, has demanded a recount of all
the ballots cast in the eight wards of
the city. Papers asking for a recount
were filed with City Clerk F. G. Gil
key by Mr.. Norton's attorney, A. J..
Crowns of Nekoosa, and notice was
served upon the mayor, city clerk and
city council, constituting the canvass
ing board.
Although c. A. Dixon, the winning
candidate, has already been declared
elected, by the canvassing board, the
request Of Mr.. Norton came within
the specified time of ten days and the
recount will be made
The law provides that a recount in
such cases shall be made by the full
canvassing board, but in view of the
inconvenience and cost of calling the
whole board together, it was thought
best to secure the permission of the
council to turn the work over to a
committee of aldermen who should be
authorized to make the count. The
ballots are stored with the county
clerk to whom they were turned over
after the election.

by the doctors who examined them.
After serving their country on an av-
erage of from one year to year and
a half they returned here to find their
employment gone, and to find also
several million other men out of en-
ployment. l believe every man who
entered the service for dollar a day,
who left his employment, received a
very severe handicap, and that it is
the duty of our Government to make
that right as we'll as we can.. | be-
lieve this bill will help to- do it. APP

Mr.. Speaker, therefore intend to
vote for this bill, providing for ad-
justed compensation, not as a gift or
bonus but as deferred compensa-
tion
do not think it is as good bill
as the Fordney bill, which was passed
by the House of Representatives May
29, 1920, by vote of more than three
to one, which bill met its death in the
Senate. [ voted for that bill. and can
see no reason why anyone who voted
for that bill should not vote for this.
I wish this bill provided for victory
taxes the same as the bill we passed,
and that it also provided for cash
payment instead of the certificate
plan that compels the veteran to Ell
ther wait until September 80, 1912,
or discount his certificate at the bank
will offer an amendment, if | am al
lowed to do soy providing for a cash
payment in lieu of the certificate plan
of payment provided for in this bill.
l do not believe that percent of
these 100000 ex-service men and wo-
women who are out of employment
today were out Of employment when
they enlisted. Every ex-service man
and woman suffered a severe economic
handicap as a result of their service
in the World War. When these men
and women enlisted they gave up their
positions, which were Immediately
filed by others. When they returned
it was impossible in a great major
ity of cases for an employer to turn
off the person who was filling the po-
sition satisfactorily and restore the
ex-service man to his former position.
When these veterans, numbering over
four and one-half millions, were dis
charged at the close of the war, the
labor market was overstocked. 1t
was condition brought about by the
war. Many suggested that the gov
ernment engage in some great inter
nal improvements that would give
employment to the returning soldier.

ASK GERMAN
IN HIGH SCHOOL

At the meeting of the School Board
Monday evening a petition was pre-
sented by Rev. c. M. Thurow, signed
by a number of citizens of the city,
asking that the study of the German
language be again placed in the cur
riculum of the High School. The
reason for the request was given that
many students in higher schools are
required to make use of texts and
reference works which are printed in
German. The matter was referred to
the committee on teachers and texts,
who will report at the next meeting.
There was some discussion of rails
ing the standards of scholarship in
the Lincoln High School by requir-
ing a grade Of 80 instead of rs for
graduation. This also was referred
to the committee on teachers and
texts.
The Board passed a resolution ask
ing the city council to begin pro-
ceedings to condemn and close Fifth
Avenue North back of the Emerson
School, for school purposes. This is
taken by some as an indication that
the new school building for the West
Side is to be built on that site. The
School Board neither denies nor af-
firms this surmise. Difficulty has
been experienced in securing a site
for the school at anything like fair
price, and it would seem to be a wise
precaution against polite robbery to
build the new school on land already
devoted to school purposes.

Mrs. Fetherstone is sent out by the
Elizabeth Mccormick Memorial Fund
of Chicago. Her talks are not only
splendidly given and illustrated by
lantern slides, but are humorous and
entertaining to her audience in a very
unusual way. Much of the health
work that has been and is being done
by the Woman's, Sunrise and Entire
Nous Clubs of this city is due to the
inspiration of the several talks given
by Mrs. Fetherstone in this locality
last fall.
Funds for carrying on this work
have been solicited by the Wood Co.
Health Committee from women's or
ganizations, clubs and from the banks
in Wisconsin Rapids, Nekoosa, Port
Edwards and Marshfeld. Every To-
cality is raising money to pay local
expenses, and in the smaller places
the Committee will assist the local
groups in putting on these attrac-
tions. The meetings will be without
charge in every instance, as the OBJ
ject Of having them is to present in
an entertaining way what makes for
better health for every man, woman
and child in the County.
