FOND pu LAC.

A very large audience attended the
patriotic entertainment given at Fond
du Lac, under the auspices of the
woman's Relief corps. The event
was in celebration of Lincolns birth.

schools gave several reeitations and
sang number OF songs. The high
school orchestra also rendered sever.
al selections. Captain J. Lee knight
read a paper. telling first of his per-
sonal experience in grasping the hand
of Lincoln when Lincoln was prest
dent The superintendent of city
schools, Professor James. told of the
things Lincoln had to contend with
poverty. ignorance and hardships.
He said in part: The fact that Lin
coin was raised amid poverty and ig-
norance was not. as many people may
suppose, one of the factors which led
him to be a great man. If such were
the case great men would come from
the Sums of our large cites. We
can derive a great lesson from the
life and career of Lincoln His fight
and struggle for the maintenance OF
the union during the civil war was
worthy of note. A leader of his kind

upholding things that are right. AT

PORTAGE.

By Mrs. Clarissa Crouch Of Portage,
We, the mothers. wives, sisters and
daughter of soldiers. sailors and ma
rines. and other loyal women have
formed ourselves into permanent or
ganization to assist the union veter.
ans and their dependent ones. Why
should We do this? / will tell you less
you forget. Because we, and every
man. woman and child owe them a
debt of gratitude. If they had not
stood up like men to resist the seces-
sion of the south we today would be
broken into warning sections. each
one obliged 10 keep standing army
to protect themselves from the other
sections There would be now no Sc
curity of life or property and no ma.

deep water navigation All the coun-
try would be in state of unrest and
turmoil--the south the worst OF all
as they fought to retain slavery and
would have TO keep an army to keep
their slaves and prevent them from
rising against them. But this is not
the the worst feature tnere would
have been of the situation. There
would have been no section strong or

HAY CROP is SHORT

The state weekly crop bulletin
places corn at 10 per cent now as
against 81 per cent this time last
year.
Grass, small grain and potatoes
have improved under the effect of the
recent rains and corn shows better
color and is growing more rapidly
since the advent of warm weather.
Cultivation of early planted corn
fields is general, but replanting still
continues in all sections of the state.
Winter grains are in bloom in cen
trail and are heading nicely in south
ern districts. Spring seeding is
showing up we'll and gives promise
of a good stand. Timothy is heading
short and the hay crop will be light.
