1t is the wish of the committee
that all citizens lend their assist
ance to the end that Memorial day
be observed in a manner that is due
the heroic dead, and the veterans
that are living
Memorial day should not be re-
garded as a holiday, but on the con-
trary it should be looked upon as a
holy day-a sacred day and an oc-
casion when all business should be
laid aside and the people generally
give up the time to paying their
respects to those who fought the
good fight and preserved the nation.
At the same time lessons in patri-
otism can be taught the rising gen.

SEARCH BEING MADE
FOR JOSEPH FREDEL

Joe Fredel, who has for years
lived at 1902 Marsh street, mysteri-
ously disappeared Tuesday after
noon and his family is fearful that
he has done harm to himself.
Fredel has for years been an en-
ploye of the Creamery Package COM
pany He has been a steady work
man and was not a drinking man.
He was devoted to his family and
a cOnsiderate neighbor.
Not Feeling Well Monday.
Monday noon Mr.. Fredel informed
the superintendent of the Creamery
Package company plant that he was
not feeling we'll and would not work
the balance of the day. He did not
work on Tuesday. That afternoon
he escorted Mrs. Fredel to the Mil
waukee depot and saw her safely on
the train, as she was going to Rap
idan to visit relatives. About four
o'clock the same afternoon Fredel
was seen near the Gamble-Robinson
Fruit Commission company's ware
house on Pike street. Since then no
one, so far as the police have been
able to discover, has seen the miss
ing man.
When Mrs. Fredel returned from
Rapidan yesterday afternoon, it was
learned that the husband and father
had disappeared. She inquired of the
children regarding their father and
they replied that they supposed he
had gone to Rapidan with her.
Search Is Instituted.
Mrs. Fredel immediately instituted
search for her husband, but OBJ
