FROM MRS. MARGARET r. PAKE
To the chairman of the Correspondence
Committee and to all the friends and
lovers of the Congregational Church
of Christ at Ladysmith, Greeting:
This servant of Christ and the church
feels highly honored in being privileged
to send a message to, this the tenth
anniversary of your beginning as a
church; and may be excused if with
this message there be combined a few
scraps of history as suggested by my
sister Manning.
On our arrival at Warner-now Lady
smithwe found most needy place,
without church building or church or
ganization.
One wild, stormy day, the writer had
occasion to visit the drug store where
Mrs. Hudgel was found alone. She
said: II have heard that you are an
ordained minister of the Congregational
denomination. Have you authority to
organize churches?' 81 certainly
have and have organized many" was
the reply. 1t was then explained that
any interested person might lead in the
matter Of the organization of a Con-
gregational Church and that the work
might be fully done if there were not a
minister within thousand miles, also,
that any person who loved the Lore
: Jesus in sincerity and was willing tc
obey Him might become member OF
such a church. She said THAT is just
what we want. We are all Presbyter.

if we can have a Union church, we
might be able to gather up enough for
an organization. Mrs Manning was

WILLARD BOOSTERS
Farmers of Town of Willard Organize
Improvement Club

On Monday afternoon at the Roy
school house was organized the Town
of Willard Cooperative and Improve
ment Club" Willard is one Of the
newer towns in the county, having
been but three years on the map. and
up to the present time, for lack of rail-
road and market facilities, has not
made as rapid progress as some other
portions of Rusk county; but now, with
the new trading stations of Conrath
and Sheldon on the east, Arnold in the
southeast. the marvelously growing
city of Ladysmith on the north, and a
road to Holcombe on the south soon to
be opened. there seems to be no reason
why the Town of Willatd should not
be one of the best towns in the best
county in the state of Wisconsin.
The directors of the Club are all far
mers and all vitality interested in the
welfare of the town and, with j. 0.
Sinclair of the State Bank of Lady
smith as treasurer, there is abundant
assurance that the Town of Willard
Cooperative and Improvement Club will
succeed in its determination to make
the Town of Willard the best place in
the world in which to live.

A Successful Entertainment

The entertainment given under the
auspices of the Junior Glass of the
Ladysmith High School last Friday
evening was success in every way.
The opera house was well filled, and
the audience showed their appre-
citation of the way the program was
carried out. "Kleptomaniac, COM
edy presented by the Juniors, proved to
be a scream" from beginning to end.
The Physical Culture exercises by the
grade pupils showed persistant effort
on the part of both pupils and teach
ers. The High School orchestra fur
nished music for the occasion and the
program was closed with a song, '''The
Star Spangled Banner" by the Soph-
OmOreS.

This remarkable pipe colors up like

Who is BrandeiS?

In HUMAN LIFE for February,
Frederick w. Coburn gives the read
err the intimate life story of the bril-
liant Boston Attorney who has rec
emily come out with the statement
that the railroads of this country
could ave a million dollars a day.
He is Louis ID. Brandeis, and this
statement made before the Interstate
Commerce Commission, although it
aroused the sneers of the railroad
crowd in Chicago, focused the at
tention of the whole country upon
him, for Brandeis' past record proves
that he is not given to idle words.
J. Pierpont Morgan's New York
newspapers contemptuouslay put the
question: "Who is this man Brand
eis?" To those who would know
more of his unique personality and
brilliant powers Mr.. Columns story
will make strong appeal. Readers
who would keep abreast of the his
tory of their own times will want to
k ow al about the memorable fight
that he led against the Reorganization
of New England railroads when the
New York, New Haven & Hartford
gobbled up the Boston 4 Maine, ard
why BrandeiS and the people lost and
Mellen and the "interests" won.
Even more interesting, perhaps,
was his connection with the famous
Bailinger case, when he was asked to
serve as counsel for Louis r, CLAWS
before the Congressional Committee
that wa to consider whether or not
Richard A. Ballinger is a safe man
as trustee Of the public lands.
Brandeis does things which people
with cynical ideas of lawyers regard
as queer. He is IT puted to take n
retainer in cases that seem to him t.
affect the public interest, and ne
deliberately sets aside a portion Of
his time to serve as unpaid counsel
giving his ability just as others giNe
money to causes in which they are
: interested.

Welcome For A New Pipe

In recent times the people OF Scot
land have not distinguished them
selves in the field of invention. They
have contributed nothing to the per-
fiction of airships, telephones or 9TH
err useful things. This seemed
strange, because a century or SO ago
the Scotch were identified with most
OF the great inventions and improve
ments in machinery and engineering.
However, the grand old century
Is shaken off her apathy, as it were,
and it remained for one of her citi-
Ems to invent a pipe that promises to
e%volutionize smoking. The trouble
with briar and meersceaum pipes, and
other common kinds, is that they soon
become as strong as Hsckenschmidt,
and a nan who carries one attracts
the attention of the health authorities
| Nicotine accumulates in the bowl anC
stem, and the smoker poisons himsel
gradually. and finally dies in horrible
a2ony and is buried in the alley with
cut benefit of the clergy.
Some Scotchman, whose name ha'
not yet been given to the public, con
pounded some sort Of material tina
makes the ideal pipe. 1t looks like
clay, but it isn't clay. 1t is porou'
and absorbs the nicotine, and tn
pipe is always dry. The man ,whc
smokes it is always wondering where
the juice goes to. He becomes 81
absorbed in speculations of this kint
that he neglects his work, and abuse
his family, and finally is sent to TIT
poorhouse because he has no yisihl
means OF support,
