May Festival at the Home

The May festival held at the home of
the Feeble-Minded and Elipetics Sunday
was largely attended, the interurban
bringing nine carloads of guests from
Milwaukee. The forenoon was rainy
but about noon the sun came out and
the afternoon was ideal and was greatly
enjoyed by the visitors. The exercises
at the Home were interesting and the
good work being done by the Lutheran
churches in the Wisconsin and Missouri
Synods was fully demonstrated, and ap-
pealed to all who sympathixe with that
class of unfortunates who are being
cared for by The charitably disposed in
that denomination. 1t is a grand
institution and the state should either
give it aid or exempt it from taxes as it
is relieving the taxpayers from consider
able expense in caring for the inmates,
who otherwise would have to be support
ed at public expense.

Anent the County Court

In speaking Of the bill recently intro
duced in the legislature providing for
the holding of two civil terms of the
county court in the city of Watertown,
the editor Of the Jefferson Banner Oscar
Roessler) who is member of the legis-
lature says, eve are inclined to believe,
it would be establishing a bad precedent
and that the bill should be. defeated.
WatertoWn appears determined to be-
come county seat" Watertown has no
desire to become county seat. 1t has
a population Of 5000 and large financial
interests and should be accorded the
same rights and privileges. as far as a
local court is concerned, as are other
cities in the state. The opposition of Mr..
Roessler is evidently inspired by selfish
motives and not from a sense of Justice.

A Beautiful Composition

A very few in this city appreciate the
fact, that we have a musical composer
in our midst whose work is of real merit
and will compare favorably with that of
musicians whose musical products are
known and appreciated by all lovers of
good music. We refer to Prof. Richard
Hardege, who on the occasion Of the
library benefit given one evening last
week under the auspicies of the Eutrepe
club rendered from manuscript beauti-
full composition entitled "Der Wanderer
in die Saegemuehle," the first time it
was eyer rendered in public and it was
thoroughly appreciated by all who heard
it. The composition has been dedicated
to Edward J. Brandt warm personal
friend of the composer, and it is sincerely
hoped that Prof. HarGege will not per-
NIT his diffidence to deprive his friends
and the public of the pleasure Of listen
ing to his compositions more frequently
in the near future.

Merchants Should TOOt

If you toot your little tooter and then
lay aside your little horn, there's not a
soul in ten short days will know that
you were born. The man who gathers
pumpkins is the chap who plOws all day;
the farmer lad who hustles gets the
biggest crop of hay. The man who ad-
yertises with short and sudden jerk is
the one who blames the editor because it
doesn't work. But the man who gets the
business and who makes the scheming
pay, is the fellow with the adlet that
you read from day to day.
Moral: He who tO0ts his little trum-
pet can withstand a sudden shock, for
like the man in scripture he builds his
business on rock.
We didn't run the above at the request
of the business Office, but we might add
like the modest violet we are, that ad-
vertising rates may be had on applica-
on.

Memorial Day Proclamation

Gov. McGOvern has issued a pro
clamation fixing Tuesday, May 80, as
Memorial day and recommending
that it be observed by all people. His
proclamation, in part, is as follows
patriotic and memorial exercises
will be planned by the Grand Army
of the Republic and Women's Relief
corps and other patriotic organiza
tions. Old and young, as well, as is
in their power should join in these
exercises and lend aid in carrying
out the purpose to which this day
has been dedicated.
All too soon taps will sound order
ing the last hero of the civil war to
his rest. But, thanks to the observ-
ance Of this day, the memorial flag
will still float over his grave as an
eloquent sign of his patriotism and
faith.
1t is further recommended that on
this day families visit Gods acre
where their loved ones rest and there
offer floral tributes to their memory.
1t is well that one day in each year
shall be devoted to showing respect
to the dead by SO simple an act of
affection and commemoration.
Nothing will be more appropriate
or expressive than placing beautiful
wreaths and fragrant blossoms upon
the graves of those who have depart
ed. Let Memorial day, 1911, be OBJ
served in such way that it may
prove a benediction on the living as
well as a tribute of respect for the
dead"
