Roundabout Badgerdom
Recently there was celebrated in
Platteville the fiftieth anniversary of
the marriage of Alexander Butler and
Miss Jane Shaffer. Just few friends
gathered to while away an hour with
the old people. who have endeared
themselves to all by a half century
of kindly relationship in the their
community. Five of the six children
born to Mr.. and Mrs. Butler were
present.
Appleton does not propose to be
known as an ungodly city. The
churches there have started church
census. Each house In the city will
be visited and this one question will
be asked: What church do you pre-
| fer?" This is not the work of any
one organization, but Of all organiza-
tons combined. The idea is to find
out what church each person favors,
whether that person attends that
church or not, and then have the
ministers and priests make visits to
the houses where they may expect
welcome Undoubtedly the results of
the census will be interesting.
The county officers of Outagamie
county have the big head. Read this
from the Appleton Crescent: 1T is a
standing joke in courthouse circles
that some of the officials there have
the big head. The best part of 1t is
that the county officers cannot deny
the fact. That such a statement can
be made about the officials may be
accredited to the fact that Register
of Deeds B. j. Zuehlke, County Clerk
A. A. Raisler and Clerk of the Court
Glen Morse all wear seven and three
elected officials take their seats Mon
day morning the big head list will be
increased for Joseph ]. Mccarthy, of
Kaukauna, county treasurer-elect also
wears a large size hat, seven and
three-eights. Mr.. Mccarthy has a
new article of head wear also, prob
ably in honor of the approaching in.
