cracy This rapid statement omits
the Chinese revolution, the horrors of
existing anarchy in Mexico and other
revolutions of less moment, but all
the while we in America, led by our
"highbrows" have been fiddling about
peace while all the world was in erup-
ton. The Spanish-AmeTican War was
too small to awaken us to realities
We have bee. spending millions to
save the babies from impure milk, to
clear the slums, to make our prisons
inviting clubs for the degenerate, to
swat the fly, and hunt the mosquito,
and to eradicate and prevent disease,
and our collegbred inspiration has so
exhausted the vocabulary of adjectiv-
es upon these mighty works, that
there is not language left to draw up
on to depict the horrors of a world
wide conflagratiOn of barbarity and
hate Isn't it about time to take ac-
count of stock and determine how
much of our boosted education is con-
tributing to progress and how much
of il is making straight for the decay
of manhood and the ruin of sOuls2
Isn't it about time to eschew cambria
teas for planning the slaughter of the
white grub, and begin to face the re-
alities of this time and day, which for
America as well as for Europe. for us
as for stricken Belgian, may prove a
day of doom? America can no more
escape the penalties of such war as
is now raging than she can the re-
sponsibilities her material greatness
imposes upon her. Ii she keeps on
dwading with platitudes and trivial
titles forever, she will earn the deep
damnation that will come to be fol-
lowed by real pain, if not by deeper
humiliation. Little Holland with hex
preparedness, her forts and her dikes
sits tight amid the thunders of war
that surround her. 1t is known not
only that she is prepared to resist ag-
gression TO the last man, but she has
the offensive weapons to make an enc
my pay dearly for any intrusion upon
her 1t is high time that Americans
should act, as well as talk, time to in-
woke men to mems work, time to pre-
pare herself.

BIG TREE MAIL STATION.
Renowned as the Oldest Postoffies
Building In America.

Building In America.
The pioneers Of the northwest often
made use OF huge trees followed out
by fire or decay. Some Of these tree
houses they occupied as temporary
residences. Others they used as shell
tiers for stock or as primitive barns.
Only one, however. ever had the dis
tincdon Of being United States post
office. That stump Is in Clallam coun-
~, In the state Of Washington.
In early days the settlers were wide
ly scattered. and 1t was long jour
ney over rough trails to the postoistce.
Carriers could do no more than leave
mali at some central point The big
cedar stump, twelve feet In diameter
and reduced TO a shell by fire, was a
base from which Il number of trails
radiated
BY cOmElon consent It became the
p0stofice for a wide region. The set
tie1g put On q roof Of cedar shakes
and nailed boxes around It's interior,
which they regarded as marked with
their names. There was larger box
for the outgoing mail. There were no
locks, but the mails were never tam
pered with.
This primitive postofflce was used
for more than year. II has been
carefully preserved and is annually
visited by hundreds OF interested sight
seers- The stump Is believed to be
over 1000 years old. which clearly es-
tabliRhes It's right to tho distinction Of
being the oldest postofflce building in

A SUGGESTION.

a NbNftf F<o iON.
You have heard of the fame of
Northfeld, Ashville and our own
Lake Geneva as places for recreation
al and inspiratiOnal gatherings. If
you have not attended any of these
you would like to | am sure. Dis
tanee often binders but it need not
hinder you this summer. Just as fine
a group of speakers as ever thrilled
the hearts of people will be the corps
of workers at Lake Chetek July % to
20. The idea is to combine recreation
and culture. The afternoons are Civ
en- up to athletics and Out-Of-dOor
sports. The mornings and evenings
consist of well-arranged lectures and
addresses by prominent men and
women. Dr. S. F. KerfOOt, president
of Hamline University. Prof Stearns
of North Dakota, Bishop Henderson
of Tennessee, Ed. 7. Farrill, Christ
ian EndeavoT man of Milwaukee, DR..
Lloltz, representing the young peO-
pies work of the Baptist church, and
o. l.. Robinson of the Congregation
al body of believers. are some of the
workers Without doubt this con-
vention promises to be one of, if not
the finest, assemblies for young peo-
pie ever held in Northern Wisconsin.
1t is rightly named THE Lake Gene
va of Northern Wisconsin.
The cost is very nominal. You can
make the entire trip for only fifteen
dollars. This will be better than two
weeks at any lake not having the
Christian tone. Posters announcing
more definitely and fully will be plac-
ed in the post office, where all can
see. Naturalization cards may be Sc
cured from the writer They should
be sent soon. Special announcement
will be made at the church Friday
evening. Life is too valuable to spend
all recreational hours at play Re
create the mind and soul as well as
the body. This is what we are going
to do at Lake Chetek July 22-29 UR|
welcome.

Resolution Proposing Approval
OF Continental Army Plan
BY Convention.

San Francisco, Cal.-Refusal to in
dorse President Wilson's proposal for
a continental army of 100000 men
marked the closing session here of the
seventeenth annual convention of the
National Guard Association of the
United States. Asheville, N. c., was
selected as the meeting place for 1916,
the date to be decided later by the
executive committee.
A resolution proposing that the as
ISOLATION approve President Wilson's
plan made public in an address by the
President at the Manhattan Club, New
York, was offered by Gen. Henry d.
Hamilton, of New York Without de-
bate the resolution was referred to a
committee.
In recommending that the resolution
be tabled, the legislative committee re-
ported 'the committee is of the opin-
ion that the resolution presented was
considered by the committee in its re-
port and that there is no necessity for
taking further action"
1t was said the National Guard AS
ISOLATION was opposed to the con-
tinental army plan Of President Will
son, because it was believed it would
conflict with the organization. Some
of the officers contended that if a
larger reserve force was to be pro-
vided, it should be done under guild
ance of the National Guard.
