MOST STRIKING
EVENT IN HISTORY
Rev. c. A. Decker So Speaks
of Resurrection -Tri-
umph of Christ.

Easter music by the church choir
and the administering OF the ordi-
nances OF baptism by the pastor were
features OF the Easter services con-
Quoted at the First Baptist church
Sunday morning. The pastor, Rev
Charles A. Decker spoke on the sub
Ject Christ. the FIRST Fruit OF the
immortal Life"
DIT. Decker spoke Of the resurrec-
ton or Christ as an especially happy
subject for a preacher % speak on.
The resurrection Of Christ is the
most striking event In the history
and the most important doctrine IN
the teaching Of the church, ne sal d.
In speaking OF the resurrection OF
the Savior the pastor said in part:
Christ's Triumph.
This was the triumphant compile
tion Of our Lords atoning work. IL
was a fitting close 20 the self-sacri-
fcing ministry OF the Master And
this event satisfies the demand Of
those who ask that some one come
back from the dead TO bring assur-
ance that there is a life beyond The
fox at the cave refused 10 &c in be-
cause he noticed that all the foot
prints in the sand pointed inward.
none pointed outward. But there
are footprints pointing outward from
che tomb. and they are the footprints
OF the Son Of God.
This is also an accomplished fact
That is. II did not just happen.
Things Ike tbis do not happen.
Nothing in TIE ministry happened. IL

ANOTHER thing 10 be noticed is
that this is but the first in a series
Of similar events. Christ is the first
fruit. This is a pledge that there are
TO be other fruits. The Jews brought
the fast fruits OF the field and the
flock and laid il on the altar as a
gift 60 God But that did not com

GETS new CAR FOR
SCRATCH ON NOSE
Waukesha Man Is Hit by ObIi g.
ing Stranger.

Waukesha, Sept. 5.--A Waukesha
resident is in possession Of one
scratched nose, $3.50 and a wrecked
touring car of an in expensive and
popular model and is now wondering
whether or not he was born under a
lucky star.
While driving on the Delaield road,
west of Waukesha beach, the owner
of above mentioned properties heard
the siren of an approaching automo-
bile, and before he could turn out to
let the other machine pass it had
crashed into the rear of his car. Both
cars were sent into an embankment
Crawling out of the wreckage, the
owner of the small car gazed rueful-
ly at the remains of his automobile
and turned on the owner of the big
car.
"Well, what are you going to do
about it he demanded
"My fault" responded the owner of
the other car, which bore New York
license number. Here, buy another
one"
And, taking a plethoric roll from his
trousers, he handed the astonished
victim $3.50 and drove on.

THE RURAL CREDITS LAW

When the remarkable record of legis
lative achievement of the Wilson ad
ministration is reviewed, the rural
credits law will rank first in the minds
of many and among the greatest in the
opinion OF all. 1t is of more value to
the farming population of the country,
the basic element of the nation, than
all the legislation in their behalf passed
by the Republicans in the last half
century.
The farmer can give the best security
in the world. 1t cannot be lost, hidden
or destroyed, or permanently injured.
Bad management may cause manufac-
turing. mercantile. railroad or other
stock to drop from 5000 a share to far
below par. There are no such fiuctua-
tions in land values; they are stable
and enduring. Farm loans suffer under
one disadvantage-they are not liquid,
not Immediately or readily convertible
into cash.
The trouble has always been that our
laws and our banking rules and regu-
lations have been adapted only to the
needs of the capitalists, merchants and
business generally which only require
short time loans, but have not been
adapted to the borrowing needs of the
farmers. But the evil is now cured and
the lack provided for by the rural cred
ifs law

after the comfort of all who use these
rooms. During the recent fair in our
city they equipped and maintained a
rest tent and checking room, which
has been favorably commented upon.
Through their efforts two women have
been appointed members of the school
board, and many improvements made
in the sanitary conditions of our public
buildings. The equipping of Jerusalem
park as a public play ground is due
solely to the activity of the club mem
bers.
The children of our city are singular

Swings, turning poles, horizontal bars,

THE CIVIC CLUB.

To the Editor of The Democrat:
About two years ago number of
active women having in mind the need
of beautifying our city and being
desirous to assist in everything that
made for the betterment of Mineral
Point and vicinity, formed a Civic Club.
The beginning was small, but the
enthusiasm of those who formulated
the plans was unlimited, and great
things have already been accomplished.
One Of the first things done was to
cause to be placed over the Post Office
beautiful U. S. flag and now "Old
Glory may be seen floating to the
breeze.
In CO. operation with the city officials
the Civic club has personally directed
the planting of shrubbery and flowers
and otherwise beautifying the City
hall park.
They instituted a campaign against
the house fly, until material reduction
in the number of flies is apparent.
"Clean Up Week" had it's inception
in the minds of the Civic Club, and,
while all that is desired has not been
accomplished, yet a strong sentiment has
been aroused in favor of making Min
eral Point a city beautiful. A baby
welfare week was successfully carried
out.
A number of back lots have been
cleared of the accumulation of rubbish,
and disease breeding filth, and several
dumping places have been greatly i'm
proved by being graded and covered
with good soil.
The Civic club members super.
intended the equipping OF the rest
rooms in the Municipal building. They
employ and pay matron who looks

Edward w. Ferris,

son of the late A. B. Ferris, and a
nephew of our townsman Edward
Fitzsimons, after whom he was named,
passed away recently at his home in
Mount Vernon, Washington. The
Mount Vernon Argus says:
1t is seldom that in the passing of a
man one hears SO much comment ex-
pressing such keen regret at his going
as in the death of E. w. Ferris. Not
Of many can it so truthfully be said as
it can of him that cit will be hard to
fill his place." We had come to look
to him as the moving spirit in civic
matters; and he was relied upon to get
the warning factions together that the
city might move forward without
hindrance or friction.
1t was the late E. w. Ferris, who
probably more than any other man
welded the balance of power, that
made Mount Vernon dry in 1910. 1t
was he that successfully launched the
and the impetus gathered through his
work is felt to this day. AS city coun-
Gilman, he fathered the paving idea.
AS state forester he attained record
that will stand as the top mark for
generations to come. He came to the
ostmastership but a few months ago
and was still new in the position when
death called him from his public
duties.
His was stormy life. He struggled
ever against adverse winds, both in his
private and public pursuits, All his
life was practically given to the public
without stint or thought of reward. He
labored for the public uplift for the
love of it. His was great civic heart;
he was every mans friend; and he de-
sired above all to be useful to his fell
low man. Never assailing, always con-
for service he had unbound
ed enthusiasm; herein lay the genius
of E. W. Ferris. We need to fill his
place.

RIGHTS OF MAN.

To the Editor of The Democrat: A
shorter work day is a step toward
equality, and the next step in the
development of industry is the adoption
of system of GO operation in field of
distribution that will recognize the
principle to which our government is
dedicated and upon which all humanity
must be saved or forever lost. That
principle is equality to all men and the
right of the humblest citizen, yes, the
right of everybody born on the planet,
to have access to everything needed to
develop in that baby the highest
possibilities of citizenship.

Milwaukee, Sept. 5.-The most sue
