CHRISTMAS
IN 1928

The celebration Of the Christmas
festival may have changed somewhat
in form but the joyous spirit of faith
and good cheer was alike manifest in
the early day. Mrs Elizabeth
Therese Baird, whose "reminiscences
of her life on Mackinac Island appear
in volume fourteen Of the Wisconsin
Historical Collections, relates in inter
esting fashion the celebration Of such
Christmastide in 1928:
"Some weeks before Christmas, the
denizens Of the island met in Turn at
each others homes, and read the
prayers, chanted psalms, and unfail-
ingly repeated the litany of the
saints. On Christmas eve, both sex
Is would read and sing the service last
ing till midnight. After this, re-
veillon midnight treat) would be par
taken of by all. The last meeting of
this sort which I attended, was at our
own home, in 1923. This affair was
considered the high feast Of the sea-
son, and no pains was spared to make
the accompanying meal as good as the
island afforded. The cooking was
done at an open fire. [ wish I could
remember in full the bill of fare;
however, [ will give all that I recall
We will begin with the roast pig;
roast goose; chicken pie; round Of
beef, Ia mode; pattes dours (bear's
paws, called So from the shape, and
made Of chopped meat in crust, cor
responding to rissoles); sausage; head
cheese; souse; small-fruit preserves;
small cakes. Such was the array. Nc
one was expected to partake of every
dish, unless he chose. Christmas was
observed as a holy-day. The children
were kept at home, and from play, IN
til nearly nighttime, when they woulc
he allowed to run out and bid thaiI
friends a Merry Christmas" spend
ing the evening, however, at home will
family, the service Of prayer enc
song being observed as before men
toned"

years s2S,oo0,ooo gain has been a
high record, and often the increase
has not been more than s10,00O,00
to s15, 100000 year.
The student of prosperity should
note that this record is for state and
trust companies alone and that. in ad-
dition, national banks of Wisconsin
have gained probably 100000 900 in
resources during the year. If nation
al banks have experienced this gain
the state must have increased its total
banking resources by almose $780,
100000 over total which at the close
of 1915 was less than 100000, 900.
This means a gain of about one-ffth
in single year in Wisconsin's bank
resources.
Wisconsin has shared wonderfully
in the present prosperity Probably
far less than l per cent of the total
Of this states business has been war
orders. The ratio of war orders for
the entire country has been much less
than l per cent, and since most of the
war orders have been confined tn
eastern states, the ratio is still small
Ter in state like Wisconsin, which
has large farming industry as we'll
as diversified manufacturing.
Wisconsin has cause for rejoicing
in this year of 1916 for peace and
surprising abundance. Never before
has so much wealth been added to the
state in a twelve-month.

STATE AID
ROAD BONDS

At the meeting of the Surety Under
writer's Association of Chicago, held
yesterday at luncheon at the Hotel
LaSalle, contracts on State Aid Roads
were considered. The discussion was
led by W. l.. Wilder of the United
States Fidelity and Guaranty. The
surety companies are having consid-
cradle trouble in completing work on
state aid roads on which contractors
have defaulted, chiefly because of the
rigid specifications, contracts and
bonds prescribed by the state high
way commission.
A committee was appointed, con-
sisting of Messrs. Marshall and Will
der and NJ. L. jerks of the American
Surety, to take up with the state high
way commission the conditions under
which contractors are asked to do the
work The commission seems dis
posed to meet the requests of the com
panies half way and it is believed that
committee will be able to adjust the
matter so that bonds of this charac-
ter can be underwritten with reason
able safety.
