r eturn Of DR.. Hail

The members of the Methodist de-
nomination are to be congratulated on
the return of DR.. E. P. Hall as their
pastor for another year. DR.. Hall can
not only preach an excellent sermon
but is popular with the church people
and the citizens of the community.
He is always ready to perform his part
in any movement for the public good,
and takes an active interest in clubs
and societies which go to make a city
like Baraboo place to live, worth
while. DR.. Hall is a good raconteur,
as many who attend the country clubs
about Baraboo will testify. His apt
story and sparkling wit have delighted
many an audience since his residence
here and his sermons have stirred many
a soul to pursue hap pier way. He is
the pastor of one of the largest churches
in the conference, which attests to his
ability in the ministerial field. A
church cannot help but grow and pros
per under the leadership of such men
as DR.. Hall.

1t Would Be False Econ
On1g.

There is movement at Madison to
take the water for the city from Lake
Mendoza instead of wells. It is urged
it is too expensive to use we'll water
and that cheaper source of supply
should be found. This surely would be
false economy. One epidemic of typhoid
fever at Madison would cost that city
more than would ever be saved in dollars
and cents by using lake water. Years
ago Baraboo had an epidemic, no doubt
as the result of using river water dur
ing long, dry season. Municipalities
should look with suspicion on the water
from lakes and rivers. The population
on the shores is increasing and this
adds to the peril of disease if the water
is being used. There are almost a
thousand people at Mendoza and almost
as many more along the shores of the
lake and this is sufficient to pollute a
large amount of water. An ounce of
prevention is worth many pounds, when
it comes to keeping the water of q
city pure. Madison would certainly
make serious mistake to get into
trouble over polluted water supply.
Better travel safe and sane road. It
will be cheaper in the end.

connection with library at Great Bar

Why should you so strive for wealth
that you lose the ability to enjoy? Why
feed your mind on one topic only? Why
let your soul shrivel till you know not
what happiness means? Every man
wishes a competence, provision for
himself and family against accident,
sickness and age. More than that is
likely to be dearly bought. Are you
weary with hard toll? Be glad that
you have work and are able to do it.

hollownese of artificial life? The pos

ventional society, where glitter and
show count for more than character?
Why strive for place among those who
have souls no higher than to seek these
things? This strife to keep up ap
pearances makes you distrustful of
sincerity in man. Be sincere yourself
and you will have reason to believe in
the sincerity of others. Seek your
pleasure in real things. The more you
seek the true and kind, the more
you will find, and the more JOY will
enter your heart JOY that glitter can
not give.
