TO ERECT NEW SCHOOL.
German Lutherans Purchase the B. F
Lesher Property on West Broad
u way as Site for Building.

The German Lutheran church has
purchased four lots of Mr.. E. p. Lesh-
err, located on West Broadway. for
the site of new German Lutheran
school. No better location could pos
sibly have been selected and it is
hoped to have the new building in
readiness when school opens this fall.
According to the present plans q
two story brick building with full
basement will be erected. Two large
class rooms will be located on the
ground floor and the second story will
be devoted entirely to large assem-
bly, room or auditorium. A heating
plant will be installed in the basement
and probably one or two extra rooms
will be fitted up. q y
Tie present school building. which
is located just east of the church. is
taxed to the limit. Never in the his
tory OF the school have there been as
many students rs during the past year
and it has been found necessary to
provide larger and better quarters.

lfiftieth married anniversary of Mr.
ana Mrs Chas. Bullock, two of DEM
sons earliest pioneers and most high

worlds goods and occupying a sub
stantial and comfortable home, this
worthy couple are enjoying the fruits
Of their earlier toll, and while both
are looking toward the setting sun,
each day brings forth added joys.
That they have been spared to thus
enjoy fifty years companionship is
great consolation and all hope that

Hon. Chns, Bullock was born at Ma

an education which has been broad

ton. Later he taught school for five
terms, kept books for a, milling con-
Germ and worked the farm, engaged
in the wool carding business and sold
goods.

united in marriage to Miss Eliza w.

plantation and kept many slaves, and
through all these years Mrs. Bullock
has hafsa warm spot in her heart for

Two years after marriage Mr.. and
Mrs. Bullock came to Crawford coun-
ty,where they have since resided. and
where they have both taken an active
part in the upbuilding OF the c0mmnn-

UHLIR WANTS WOMEN TO HELP
THE MORAL CONDITIONS

THE MORAL CONDITIONS
Morals Court Judge Uhlir appeals
to the business men of Chicago and
to the women Of Chicago to help him
better the moral conditions OF the
city. He asks the business men to
pay a living wage to the girls they
employ. He asks the women to get
the girls homes and to provide them
with means of recreation and good
surroundings.
When the judge was assigned to
the morals court he brought there
new ideas and lot of pepper, which
he succeeded in injecting into the so
cial workers, clubwomen and other
attaches of the court.
He found that most of the girls
were willing and eager to reform if
given the chance. The judge is after
chances.
Small fines only increase the
evil" he said 81 impose heavy fines
or none at all. The girls can borrow
money to pay small fines and that
increases the traffic. l fine them

they refuse the chance that is Of
fered them here.
You cannot get away from the
ever present and protruding fact that
law wages is the principle cause of
bad girls. If the business men of
this city want to continue to pay low
wages they should provide places
where the girls can live decent lives
on the money they pay them. They
should help establish social centers
where they could go for innocent
amusement without the temptations
which you now find everywhere.
Every month we have a return
day. The girls who have promised to
be good and who have obtained po-
sitions come back to court and re-
port. Many of them put this ques-

Employers who fail to pay decent
wages are narrow-minded. They do
not belong in society. They contrib

than the seducers."

Ills WILL SAVE LIGHT Bills

ITO WILL DAVE IIGf1I BILLS
What color is the paper in your
living room? 1t should be light if
you desire the best results and les
sened light bills.
The dark reds and brown so pop
ular in dining rooms must be re-
placed with light grays or tans, or
better still, pure white decorations,
as these shades absorb the minimum
of light.
Scarlet or crimson wall paper
wastes from 70 to Is per cent of
light; brown shades from 80 to SO
per cent; the yellow tones from SO to
60 per cent.
Few people ever consider this fact
when selecting the decoration for
the new home and the blame is often
placed upon the dark weather when
is should be placed upon the colors
used in making the room beautiful.
The trend of the present house
decorator is toward the use of much
lighter colors, both for economy in
artificial lighting and comfort in the
