ANKLES IN EVIDENCE.

Ankles are much in evidence, skirts
being shorter than ever for the day,
and In the evening the circumference
of the skirt and the mere wisp OF a
train make the feet details to be reck-
oned with. the result Of this being that
much attention is bestowed upon shoes.
Pale blue Kid and cerfse kid are alike
in evidence, with very small silver
buckles for their aeiornment and silk
stockings to match for their compile
ton. In the daytime mole gray cloth

A WOMAN who knows says that the
way to get a suitable servant is to
make up your mind the kind OF maid
you want and then look for her per-
severingly. Never be satisfied or give
up until you get her.
For this you will need energy, per-
severance and patience. The first will
inspire you to advertise without ceas-
ing, the second will prevent you from
growing weary in SO doing, and the
third will bring you In peace to the
end.
You must not imagine for moment
that q treasure viii fall into your
lap. You must look for her.
You must not be jealous one day and
faint hearted the next You must

To KEEP OLD RATES
Officials of Woodmen Form
ally Call New Rates Off
Pending Litigation
EXPECT LONG FIGHT IN COURT

1t was officially announced oy the
Head Camp Modern Woodmen Of
America today that pending the final
disposition of the rate question in the
last court of appeal the old rates of
the society will obtain and that DO
more policies under the new rates will
be issued.
The decree from Judge Shirley in the
circuit court of Sangamon county, H.,
restraining the society from doing
business under the new rate plan made
it necessary that the old rates be
applied.
The problem which now confronts
the society is the status of the
100000 members who have left the
order in protest against the new rates
as adopted by the head camp at Chi
cago Under special dispensation
they have until December 10 to get
back into the order without being
counted as lapsed members.
Those who have failed to take adj
vantage of this may be out Of the So
ciety. On the other hand, there are
100000 who have either joined the So
ciety since the new plan was adopted
or who had their policies transferred
from the old to the new schedule.
What is to be done with their policies
and rates is another problem.
The head officers assure the members
that pending the final settlement of
the controversy an equitable rate will
prevail for all these members of un.
certain status and that no further
effort will be made to force the col
lection of the new rates until their
legality is finally decided on in the
supreme court.

Congregationalist and Presbyterian
denomination have sent letters similar
to the above tc the ministers of their
own denomination throughout the state
Many ministers of al denominations
have written to the State Board of

and the discussion will evidently be
general, for the requests have come
from all parts of the state

Ministers of State to Preach
Sermon on Schools in
Churches Sunday.
TO MOULD PUBLIC Sentiment
State Board of Public Affairs Back of
Movement to Use Pulpits of State to
Awaken the People to the Needs of
the Schools in Counties.

Ministers of many denominations will
preach next Sunday on the needed i'm
provement in rural communities through
the rural school. They will use the
facts of the remarkable report just is
sued by the State Board Of Public
Affairs as the basis # their sermons.
local minister has received from the
University pastor of his denomination
the following letter:
Dear Brother:-
The opportunity is offered you herein
to perform a distinct public service.
The State Board Of Public Affairs has
just completed an investigation into
the rural schools of the state. Among
other things the report will point out
that lax methods of controlling school
expenditures prevail-reports are mac
curate-school officers are careless; that
sanitary and educational conditions in
rural schools are poor; and that state
and county supervision of rural schools
is seriously defective.
The report will point out, too, bet
ter side. 1t will show, for example, that
I'm spite of defects in organization,
lack of authority and inadequacy of
clerical help, many instances have been
found where a strong personality has
found ways of effectively directing the
school boards, supervising teachers,
starting instruction ii useful arts and
helping teachers to be leaders in com
munity life" 1t will tell, too, by ref
erence to specific instances, what ex-
ceptional teachers and public spirited
citizens have done. 1t is believed that
if the conditions mentioned first are
presented to the people against the
background of such splendid service as
is described, a decided advance will be
taken by the enlightened citizenship.
The proposition has come to us that
the pastors of the state would be glad
of the opportunity to help make the
rural schools better. The specific pro-
position is to have Rural School Sun
day, December s. On this day the pas
tors Of all denominations, using the
facts of the Board of Public Affairs
report as a basis, would preach on the
subject Of the needed Improvement of
the schools as factor in rural better
ment. 1t is hoped that these sermons
will be printed in whole or in part in
the local press and likewise in pamph-
let form here in Madison.
The matter is briefly thus:
Cd The State Board of Public At
fairs has conducted a careful investiga-
ton of rural schools extending over
several months. 1t will be clearly dem
onstrated in their report that much
needed improvement in the rural schools
is essential to any general advance of
social conditions in Wisconsin.
(2) Adequate discussion will help
greatly in remedying the adverse con-
ditions discovered. Specifically, a ru-
raj school Sunday would be, perhaps,
the most potent single factor.
(3) The reports and statements is
sued by the State Board of Public AT
fairs will be cheerfully furnished you
as basis for your sermon or address.
The opportunity is yours, will you
avail yourelf of it?
Fraternalfy yours,
University Pastor.
