CHRISTMAS.

Christmas, 1914, stepped into the
past with nothing eventful happening
locally to mark it. There was a dis
tinct feeling Of regret constantly
present over the terrible conflict rag
ing in Europe. The usual social actv-
tiles, trees, and balls at the public halls
took place as usual. The Eiks and La
dies Aid Societies saw to it that every
one had good Christmas dinner The
post Office business broke all records
The X. of &. order gave each OF the
boys at st. Mary's orphan home what
he asked for and watches, sleds and
skates gladdened the hearts of the
Youngsters. The merchants reported
good average year. Christmas day
brou ht temperature OF III below
zero, by the government thermometer,
the coolest Christmas in 30 years, it
being l3 below on Christmas morning
in 1884. In 1855 it was 9 degrees be-
low, SO this was the second codest
Christmas in 50 years. The cold
weather and good sleighing made it
look like old times to the many folks
who were back here to the old home
for the holidays.
The only thing TO give pause to the
Joy was the tlaring newspaper headlines
of slaughter in France and Poland and
the reminders given OF desolated Bel
gium.

TO the Lutz litigation like to the
making of books there is no end,
Some years ago Rev. August Lutz
was pastor Of a rural congregation in
Sheboygan county He became involv-
ed 10 dsuptes with his church trustees
over money matters and other things
His oppone nts succeeded not only in
having him removed from his pastor
ate but he was also suspended from his
clerics position. From this there has
grown multiplicity of law suits. Mr..
Lutz seems TO be one OF the most per-
sistent litigants that ever appeared ON
the scene in Wisconsin legal history.
A defeat in court only strengthens his
resolve to get what he deems o be his
rights. Many lawyers and courts have
been involved. Sometimes several
suits are pending al one time. One is
pending in Sbeboygan circuit court
now, IN which A. l. Nash of ;his city
is referee, involving the pastors tinan-
clal settlement with his church. Pa
perS III another suit nave Just been fil-
ed in circuit court here. Sometimes
Mr.. Lutz acts as his own attorney but
not always with the best results. The
latest case is based on a demand for
$4,000 against the church trustees. the
charges being in the nature of conspir-
acy to injure the reputation of Mr.
Lutz. Over twenty cases with Mr.
Lutz as party have been IN the courts
OF this part OF the state the past few
years and the end apparently is not
yet.

and Trial; and the amount of money ex.
pended 10y him for timber and labor is
no small item towards the business of
Manitowoc. Manitowoc is the best
place on the Lake for vessel building
and rebuilding, and Mr.. Rand is the
best man within its whole length and
breadth for doing the work.

with mild weather, because nature
foresaw it in preparing the coats for

scanty covering; the streams and ponds
are not yet full, which indicates that
much rain instead of snow is veto fall;

INQUlSITIVE
BY Jim Nance.
'Tis queer how things run
And how life is made up:
There is many a slip
Twixt the lip and the cup.
For instance, in answer
To Reader" who writes: .
con things which are puzzling,
Please turn on the light"
He wants to know if l ever saw
composer who could direct-a direc-
tor who could compose dramatist
who could read his own playa
songster who could sing his own song
"a dramatic critic who could write
play or playwright who could
make a curtain speech.
That's a slicker-quite a sticker.
Who the dickens ever knows
If a man who does composing
Can do else than just compose?
You can't prove it, not by me.
Some one wiser you must see.
In fact, goodness only knows
If director can compose.
And about a dramatist.
Here's an answer, pray thee list:
He SHOULD know how to read his
play,
Whether he does, cannot say.
Folks who, as business pick
Song writing as their choice,
And can't sing their melody,
Are those who have no voice.
There are so many plays today
On stage and on the shelf
That critic is too busy
To write some plays himself.
A playwright is usually fused.
Applause makes his OF head whiz.
But whether he can make a speech
Depends on who he is.

TopAY,s HEALTHoGRAM.

An authority on the subject of sleep
and its recreative powers make the
following suggestion and claim: ,"Cut
short the long, light sleep of the
morning hours and substitute short
sleep at some favorable time during
the work-day. Fifteen minutes sleep
after the~heaviest work and the main
meal of the day will count more for
efficiency than five times Is minutes
of sleep in the morning"
WEATHER FORECAST
Cold and unsettled Saturday and
Sunday; probably light showers.
