TO LIVE IN ASIA.
Mr.. and Mrs. Glenn David Spoon VIII
Run May.asian Plantation
for Church.

Glen d. Spoor, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Henry Spoor of Bond street, of Keno
sha and Ella A. Richards of Mineral
Point were married November second
at four clock in the afternoon at the
residence of the Reverend Edward w.
Brakeman, pastor of the University
Methodist Episcopal church in Madison.
Both Mr.. Spoor and Miss Richards
were graduated from the University of
Wisconsin last June with the bachelors
degree. Mr.. Spoor has the distinction
of having completed the course in three
and one half years feat accomplished
by less than one percent of the grad
yates. Dean E. A. Birge in speaking of
the possibility of Mr.. Spoons success
as the manager of a rubber plantation
recently remarked: Mr.. Spoor will ac-
complish most anything he sets out to
accomplish. !"
Mr.. and Mrs. Spoor have been en-
ployed by the Board of Foreign Mis-
sions of the Methodist Episcopal church
to teach and manage a plantation in
connection with college in Maylasia
and will sail from the Pacific coast late
in November after visiting the Pan
Pacific exposition.
The bride was accompanied by her
sister, Doloris and E. Orr was best man.
Two weeks hence they will be given a
farewell reception by university friends.
Concerning the groom, Mr.. Brakeman,
who was his pastor while he attended
the university, writes: Mr.. Spoor is
one of the ablest young men whom I
have met during my seven years among
university students here. He is quick
to learn, tireless in his devotion, and a
genius in devising methods with which
to do thing which he is setting out
to accomplish. He did as many differ
emit things well as any man | have
know and was always cheerful and op-
timistic. I am very proud of the fact
that our missionary board is to have
his aid in Maylasia. With this charm
ing and vivacious help-meet he will not
only make name for himself but be
great asset to the church.

boards the government of the counties.
Home rule promises to bring from the
representatives of the towns and the
city wards the most efficient service
that the men representing these divi-
sions of the county can render. The
county board is the most approachable
organization the county boasts of. The
members of it are always ready to hear
suggestions from the people who live
within the city limits and in the limits
of the towns beyond. What is more
they are willing to believe that the
ideas Of the people are worthy of their
careful consideration. The co-opera-
tion that has been shown between the
members of the board should be shown
by the people. If you have suggestions
for lettering the county the county
board will always be glad to give you
time to express these ideas.
Kenosha county is getting to be
great county and complete cooperation
between the people and the governing
board is all that is necessary to make
it greater county.
