NEW CHURCH DEDICATED

ST. Lawrence Polish Catholic Church
Was dedicated last Sunday. The
services were conducted by Bishop
Schweback of La Crosse, assisted by
several prominent ministers from
neighboring cities. The first services
were held at SIS a. m. and another
at 1915, at which the Catholic Knights
and Foresters in the regalia of the
order were present. This church has
shown much enterprise in erecting for
themselves, new and substantial
home in the past summer. The
congregation is increasing rapidly,
and they are not only strong in
numbers, but from a financial stand
point as we'll. Itis such organizations
as this, housed in their own hand
some buildings that add much to the
pleasant appearance of our city and to
it's moral and religious growth.
These people are to be congratulated
on their new church home, aud upon
the united effort they have put forth
to secure the same.

SELECTING A MINISTER

The meeting at the Congregational
church last evening was combination
between tidal wave and a land slide.
1t had been called by the church
trustees forthe purpose of selecting a
new minister and the church and
congregation were ready for the
question. Several excellent ministers
have presented themselves in the
past two or three months as can
didates for the position. Last Sunday
Rev. Staff of Fit. Atkinson filled the
pulpit. both morning and evening.
He is comparatively a young man, and
a stranger in these parts, but there
seems to be a united determined
conviction that Rev. Staff is the man
they have been looking for and the
trustees were instructed to engage
him at a good salary. It is seldom
that a church is so unanimous in
selecting minister, and we are
strong in the faith that they are
making no mistake in their selection.

There is considerable talk about
the Stalwart vote Of Wood county.
just how large this vote is a matter
of guess work. 1t may be large
enough to defeat the Republican
county ticket if it all goes to the
Democratic candidates. While it
may be possible that this part of the
Republican vote may go to the Demo-
cratic candidates. we don't think
it will. The increase in the county
since two years ago is an unknown
quantity, yet we believe it is favorable
to the Republicans.

HER COLOR SCHEME.

What is your color scheme this
season? Are you a study in brown
or a study in scarlet? Are you a
melody in yellow or symphony IN
green? Are you white cloud OF 2
black shadow? Are you a poem III
purple or song in cerise?
Every girl is nowadays a symphony
of some sort. She does not neces-
sarily cling to one shade as sne oiu
last season, but she runs in nttie
crescendoes of a color from a deep
base violet skirt to thrill OF hgnl
lilac in her hat; from a wine coioreo
frock to delicate pink rose IN ner
bonnet.
The pretty woman who wishes 70 De
prettier and the plain woman VINO
likes to look less plain will first match
her eyes. Are they brown? Then'
her frock or her walking suit is Oh
brown. and it's accessories may run
from that shade into all the Durnt
things-tomato, onion, ollye-and
from there on into lemon or cream.
Are her eyes violet? Then let ner
try a violet velvet gown, with the
corresponding shades OF lavender anu
blue-white. Are they blue? Nothing
will bring out their color like suit
of military blue Is she the red-neao-
ed girl with the green eyes? INN
let her be a symphony in sage-green.
A black-eyed girl never looks SO
stunning as in black and gray-eyed
girl looks her best in white. me
gray-eyed girl is the only one VINO
does not look prettiest when she
matches her eyes exactly. But, after
all, gray is a mixture OF blue anu
white. and there is nothing more be-
coming to her than delicate blue anu
white.
Some women dress all their lives
ng in favorite color or shade
which is at war with their eyes.
Others follow the fads, sometimes ap-
pearing in blue, at other times IN reu
and again in green. 1t has been an
odd fashion, too. to dress to match
the hair. Since the hair usually har-
monies. with the eyes, this Is not
bad idea, but it is roundabout way
to reach the artistic ideal OF truly
good dressing.
It is quite distinctive to select
certain color, and, year in and year
out. to cling to the many shades OF
that one color. But be sure first that
you choose the right color or you will
die without ever having known now

He Took II Back.

In certain town in western Massa.
chusetts two of the most prominent
citizens are Methodist brother and
Presbyterian brother. These are
neighbors. and, for the most part.
dwell on good terms. except when they
try to effect an exchange of horses or
to talk religion.
On one occasion the two had traded
horses, and although the outcome
ranked in the breast OF the Methodist
they had met and started discussion
on the subject of predestination. As
usual. an alteration ensued. when the
Methodist lost control of himself.
With mixed emotions concerning horse
trades and John Calvin in his mind, he
suddenly exclaimed:
you're a robber, liar. and Pres
byteriani"
This proved too much for the Pres
byterian, and a fight began. in which
the Presbyterian got the best OF it.
AS he sat upon his PROSTATE opponent,
humping his head against the ground.
he said:
"Take 1t back. take it back, or I'll
bump your foolish head OIL"
'Tll take it back" gasped the van
quished Methodist, ION the first two
counts; you're not robber nor liar.
but you're blamed old Presbyterian
if die for it"'-Harper's Weekly.
