Summer Recreation.

What can we do with the children
during the vacation period? This is
problem that confronts most par
ents and a happy answer to it is
being sought.
It's not so great in the country
because there is not so much danger
that children will get into mischief
on account of idleness. The farm
offers plenty of work for strong
young muscles, and near to nature
as it is, the tasks are health pro-
noting, body building work.
But in the town and city, anxious
parents are constantly seeking ways
and means of keeping the active
youngsters occupied. They are not
dumb driven cattle. They like to be
busy doing something, and if a
method can be found to turn their en-
ergy into useful channels, they will
be benefited and the temptation to
fall into evil ways will be removed.
With scarcity of work for
young hands, the best substitute is
playground center where a part of
the vacation time can be devoted to
organized play.
Many communities have recog-
nized their responsibility and have
provided Fairgrounds, as well as a
direetor.-Ex.

Memorial Day.

Patriotic organizations are pre-
pairing for Memorial Day 1t is a
sad commentary on American pat
riotism that this responsibility falls
to the lot Of those who suffered the
most when our common country was
in danger.
Rather should those who are en-
joying the freedom that was won by
patriots, assume the burden Of
keeping alive the spirit that Memoir
ial Day engenders To patriotic
societies belong the credit for sus-
tanning such national holiday.
And a nation whose wars have
been fought mainly by volunteers
should have a day set aside an
nually to honor the patriotism Of its
citizens.
Memorial Day has been an evolu-
tiou Of the people. 1t would not
exist but for the volunteer armies

standing army on the European
basis We have no CONSUMPTION law

into camp for at least two years
continuous training. Even in the
civil war volunteers filled all quotas
for the first two years Of the tremen-
dous conflict, and to the end formed
the great bulk Of troops in the field.
No disparagement Of the regular
army is meant, but it has often been
comparatively small and is but a

COUNTY AGRICULTURAL NOTES

Iron county farmers are on the
war-path and are prepared to make
bold advances on their arch enemy
Mr. Stump They have for their
ammunition S,400 pounds of Pyratol,
government explosive which was
unloaded last Monday.
This campaign will ultimately
bring more sheckles to the farmers
pockets, as the new fields opened
will be a source Of additional re-
venue. The stumps occupy valuable
land and the sooner we get rid Of
lodging stumps the quicker will we
be soundly established.
In strawberry planting the details
should be followed religiously. Many
farmers have experienced a whole
sale drying up of their plants after
planting and wonder why it should
be.
The trouble is that they did not
prune the plants before planting
Pruning is usually necessary before
setting the plants. All the dead
leaves and a greater portion of the
live ones should be removed Only
one or two small healthy leaves
should be left, as they are sufficient
for the needs of the plant at the
time, larger number being likely to
prove injurious by causing too much
transportation, which the unestabhsh-
ed roots cannot take care of.
Having pruned the plants good
results should be had by following
the next three essentials in setting
strawberries: () set the plants at
the proper depth; (2) be sure to have
the roots in firm contact with the
soil; CD do not allow the roots to dry
up during the setting operation.

NATIONAL GUARDSMEN
ARE STATE EMPLOYEES
Supreme Court Hands Down, Decision
Fixing Their Status at Madi-
son This Morning.

Madison, Wis. National guards
men are state employees, the Wiscon-
sin supreme court held today in af-
frming an award of the industrial
commission in the Clifford Johnson
case for injuries received at an en-
campment.
ct must be conceded" said the opin-
ion written by Justice Doerfler, "that
the national defense act wrought a
material change with respect to the
national guards. This change, how
ever, while it affected greater unfit
cation of the national guard with the
federal army and created conditions
which to a very large extent strength
ened the guards from the standpoint
of efficiency when they might be call
ed upon by the federal government,
did not in any respect weaken the
guard as a state organization nor did
it wipe out or eliminate its character
as a distinctive state organization"

of others with the young man. After
an argument the others departed, but
Moldennauer, it is said, attacked Barth
and injured him.
"Moldennauer and his friends came
up while I was putting on a private
party. / told them we would have to
close the door. Moldennauer asked me
if / carried any life insurance. | asked
him what he meant and he said he
would stay right there. / went to the
manager and asked him to speak to
the bunch, which he did. The others
left but this one wouldn't go.

fight with you, but I'll get somebody
to put you out" Then Moldennauer
attacked Patsy"

William Barth sustained two broken
wrists as result of the assault, the

Leo Vaudreuil, attorney for Modem
nauer, insisted that the state had
shown a case of assault, not assault
with intent to do great harm. Assist

injured as a result of the attack, but
Vaudreuil suggested that Barth had
sustained his injuries by failing

For Possession of Moon :
C. Block for Destroy
ing Evidence.
NO DISORDERLY CASES
Young Men Arrested for Dis
orderly Conduct as Result of
Raid Are All Dismissed.

AS a result of a raid on the premi-
Uses at 463 Pearl street by Constable
John Scholey and police aides, Henry
Gallman this morning in the NUM-
cipal court was bound over following
a preliminary hearing on the charge
of unlawful possession of moonshlne.
Bonds were fixed at $500 for appear
ance at trial during the April term OF
court.
Another case, considered much thin
ner than the Gallman one, that Of
Charles Block, charged with destroy
ing fluids during the police raid on
the same evening, was also heard IN
court this morning. Police Officer
Chase testified that he saw some
glasses kicked around, but saw no
fluids actually being dumped. How
ever, Block. was bound over also, the
usual liquor bonds in his case being
fixed, namely of $500.
Dismisses Other Cases.
Some young men found at the place
at the time were arrested and charged
with disorderly conduct. The cases
against all of these were dismissed
this morning for lack of evidence. City
Attorney Randall was called down to
court this morning to prosecute these
cases, and dismissed them, after he
learned from Constable Scholey who
was instrumental in making the raid,
that there was no evidence upon which
to hold the men further. The city at
torney suggested that officers in max
ing raids be more careful in making
arrests, whereupon Scholey replied
that he had not made the arrests.
A dispute still holds as to just who
did make the arrests. Detective Breidt
who represented the police department
on the raid maintaining that at 463
Pearl street that night, "Scholey call
ed the wagon and pinched the bunch"
Two Girls Were There Also.
Two girls who were present were ar
rested with others, brought down to
the city hall and later taken over to
the county Jail. One of the girls be-
came hysterical with terror after find
ing herself in Jail, and it was neces-
sary to summon a physician. The
girls it was said, had stopped to visit
the GaTfman family while en- route
from Waukegan to Milwaukee, and
had run downstairs to the bar-room
from the flat above to use the tele-
phone to call up the mother of one of
them, when the place was "pinched."
Neither of the girls had ever been
in any predicament of the kind before
and one of them in particular it was
said, had a nervous breakdown as a
result, and has been forced to post
pone her marriage.
There were no charges brought
against them and they were released
from custody after they had been in
Jail few hours, partly through the
activity of Sheriff Willems.
There was dispute again between
the constable and the police as to
just who had caused the arrest of
the two girls, Constable Scholey in
sisting that he was not responsible.
Sheriff Willems, however, declared
that it was the constable who brought
the two girls over to the county Jail
and that he stated the charges against
them, which, however, were dropped.
