Shoe Trade Notes
BY r. Z ".

Mr.. ]. A. Casey is on business
trip to Chicago inspecting sample
feathers offered BY the different tan
neries.
Allof the travelling statesmen have
selected their samples and are now
beginning to cover their respective
territories. Mr.. Frank G. Wolfer
from whose department the samples
are shipped is entitled to no small
amount of praise for the efficient
and tactful manner in which the
MANY statesmen have been handled.
No kicks or complaints being regis
tered to date.

Mr.. B., the official printer of the
Shoe Co., is receiving many compli-
ments for the neat and artistic man

Salesman's price list of the fall
line.
Small leather pieces are frequently
sent to customers to patch the shoes
with, they are billed as patches
Here is what native of Milwaukee
wrote in last week: L receive de

you send ME no patches? / am loose

pleasure for me. Wot ISIS de matter

you are fools and no good. l send

jar your suspenders loose.
The recent decision of the Inter-
State Commerce Commission in favor
OF the shippers is great boon to the
Shoe trade. The railroad presidents
are somewhat pessimistic, but the
county is prosperous and can stand
their gloomy talk.
The Armour leather company con-
trolls large trade in sole and upper
leather. Besides their Packers Sole
Leather, they market the entire out
put of the Cappon & Bertsch Leather
Co. and the Badger State Tanning
company.

COMMENCEMENT
cessful Year of Orleans
School.

The baccalaureate sermon was de-
livered before the members of the
graduating class on Sunday evening
at Z 80 by Dr.> George Henry Per-
kins, Dean of the University of Ver-
mont, who took as his subject, 1.-The
Relation of Evolution to Religious
Thought. 1t was a fine scholarly
address and full of inspiring thought.
The following is a resume of the adj
dress. "Only two views of creation
have ever been held. That of the
creation of all things in limited
time by a single act, the formerly
held theory and that of evolution,
which holds that at first only few
simple forms were created, from
which ever since new forms have de-
veloped by the action of established
laws. On the old view there can be
little progress as there is no change.
On the new view, progress is con-
seen. Both views are theories,
neither can he satisfactorily proved.
The real question then is which of the
two theories is most in harmony with
what we know of Gods methods in
nature. Evolution is not an invention
of modern thought, but found stated
in the writings of Aristotle, the
Greek philosopher, and in the works
of the church fathers through the
centuries. 1t is not an invention of
Darwin nor anyone. 1t is found in
nature. Evolution is not Darwinism
nor any other ism, but doctrine Of
development and progress, which does
not depend upon any special theory.
It's principles would stand if all pres
ent theories fell. Evolution is growth
of species with usually. but not nee
essarily progress, as individuals from
individuals, as plant from seed or bird
from egg. All animals start from a
single cell, as do all plants from
which the different forms deveelope to
final complete completely. OF struc-
ture. Ideas of evolution enter
into all our thoughts. Gods laws
must be regarded not as independ:
ent.:.g but as manifestations OF
His thought. Evolution is the divine
method Of creation. There is no in
dependent existence but God. mo
force but that which comes from Him.

MEMORIAL OBSERVANCE.

The Memorial sermon was delivered
r. G. in the opera house by Rev. G.
w. Burke. The members Of the Post
and Relief Corp were escorted to the
hall by the Boy Scouts under the di
rection of James Laughton. A good
| audience was present and listened to
an excellent sermon by Mr.. Burke.
The choirs of both churches assisted
in rendering the music.
Tuesday large audience gathered
at the opera house to listen to the ad-
dress by L. B. Jones of Island Pond
In the opening of his address and
throughout the discourse, Mr. Jones
referred to the conflict between the
North and South as the American
war, stating that it was a contest
between two Christian armies of the
same blood, fighting over a great
principle, each believing that they
were right according to their inter-
probation of the constitution. He re-
called several incidents of the war to
show that while Federals and Confed-
crates were each striving in every le-
gitimate way to win the victory, they
never lost sight of the fact that they
were kinsmen. and the officers and
privates of each army ever anxious
to relieve the suffering of wounded
foes on the field of battle.
The chief theme of his speech was
the disarmament of nations and set
Element of all disputes through an in
ternational court of arbitration. He
suggested the advantage of using the
money now expended by the nations
for war protection in building good
roads, in promoting industrial educa-
tion and in elevating the social sur
roundings of working men.
The speaker referred briefly to the
enormous cost of the present method
of government ship building as COM
pared with that of private corpora
lions, and commended the President
and his cabinet on their attempts to
put the management of government
affairs on a more business-like basis
In closing Mr.. Jones said: "Mr.
Taft was the first to propose to the
Hague tribunal that the last barrier
to the arbitration Of all questions, the
limiting phrase, excepting the honor
and vital interests of either party be
stricken out. What has been impos-
sible in the past may be possible now.
! The great nations of the earth are in
| bondage, and they will soon discover
as individuals have discovered that
the law is a better remedy than
force. One would be rash to attemp
to prophesy at the present moment
how near the hour is when deliver
ance from the curse of war shall
come, but it is in the hope of seeing
that day that the friends of peace will
work on with increased faith and
energy.
This, my veteran friends, is the fight
of the younger generation. AS you
gave your youthful vigor and energy
to the utter humiliation of a great
evil, and reunited the states under
that beautiful flag of freedom, so may
we devote our untiring efforts to ban
ish those grim monsters that patrol
our coasts at such an unutterable
waste to the treasury of nations, and
give our foremost thought and inf1u-
ence to the establishment Of the
worlds peace

sticking can be satisfactorily set

The Meade to Beaver electric
line also came in for some discus
sion. This proposition seems to
appeal to our people very strong
ly, and if there is half the en-
thusiasm and determination on
the part of the people of Beaver
there is but little doubt but that
the line will be built. And from
the way the people down there
talked this will not be lacking.
No proposition has so appealed
to the people of the town, who are
not slow to grasp the great ad-
vantages of the road, and the
great growth which is sure to re-
suit to the town with its build

AT the close of the railroad
building occurred the annaul cleo

A rousing meeting of the Meade

A rousing meeting of the Meade
Commercial Club was held in
Phelps Opera House last Thurs
DAY evening. The meeting was
largely attended by people OF the
town and a number of the in
fluential farmers of the county
we're present. The meeting had
been advertised as a railroad
meeting, and it was expected to
have some of the officials of the
Winnipeg, SalIna & Gulf railroad
present. At the last minute a
message was received saying it
would be impossible for them to
be heard, and all the information
given regarding the proposition
was given by the officers and
members of the Club. Everyone
seemed interested, ana tneTe is
absolutely no doubt but what the
necessary funds can be raised If
the company can show that the
road will be built. A number of
details of the transaction were
not clearly understood, and sue
cess or failure hinges on these
points. Another meeting will
likely be called at which the Off
Gals can be present to give such
information as is desired.

road come to Meade, and will
quickly fall in line if the matters

ganization has passed and lives
only in the town history. Such
an ending was freely predicted
for the Meade Club. But once
history failed to repeat. With a
vim and vigor that was good to
behold the Club started out to
"Make Meade Move" and it has
been a success. Numerous in
stances of the work, advantageous
to great degree, could be cited
but it would be long story.
However the determination to
keep the Club going has never
been lost sight of and the first
annual election of officers found
the organization even stronger
and in better condition than at
any time. The nominations were
asked for president. DR.. W. F.
Fee arose and expressed the
opinion that he was old enough
to know efficient service; that
such service had been rendered
by the present officers, and in
view of this fact wished to make
a motion that the rules be sus-
pended and the old officers be
elected by acclamation.
The motion was seconded and
carried without a dissenting vote.
The following constitute the
officers.
President, o. X. Stevens.
Vice President, w. F. Casteen.
Secretary Leo P. McMeel.
Treasurer r. W. Fletcher.
The officers together with A.
T. Bodle Jr. constitute the board
of directors.

Club would not survive it has ac.

present time is back of severa
