RUDOLPH

The Moravian church was crowded
last Sunday afternoon, the occasion
being Children's Day. A program of
songs and recitations had carefully
been practiced by the children under
the direction of their teachers, and its
rendition was animated and pleasing,
rejecting credit on themselves, their
instructors and the school After the
pupils had marched in and taken places
on the platform to the music of a
sprightly march America was sung
by the congregation standing. A pray
er followed, and then an address of
welcome, spoken by one of the girls.
The pastor, the Rev. Theodore Reinke
gave an address in which he explain
ed that the reason why we celebrate
Aug. 18th as Children's Day is because
i WAS On that day in 727 that a great
work of grace began among the boys
and girls of the Moravian congrega-
ton in Herrnhut, Saxony. Various
s0ngs, recitations and dialogues follow
ed. One little girl sang a solo. All
did their parts we'll. A dialogue by
Mrs. Changers class was interesting
as it discussed from a girls standpoint
the question, when is a person old
enough to be a Christian?"

MANS BODY IN BRUSH CLUMP
Boy, Attracted by Bark of Dog, Comes
Across Corpse of Stranger by
Roadside Near Hartford
May Be Murder.

Hartford, Aug. 29.-The finding Of
mans body in a clump Of bushes be-
side the road leading TO Pike Lake
near this city, has aroused the sher-
IFS office to thorough investigation.
The body was discovered by boy, at
tracted to the spot by the barking of
his dog, and had evidently lain there
several weeks. A large hole on the
left side of the skull told of violence.
Outside of coat, shoes and hat the
body was completely clothed. A pair
of automobile goggles was found hang
ing on bush just above the body and
leads the police TO believe that the
man was murdered elsewhere and car
ried to the deserted spot. There was
nothing in the pockets but handker-
chief bearing the initial M" and a
pearl-handled knife. No definite clew
has been developed, according to Sher-
If Frank Schoendeck.

Seek Aid Of Motorists,

"Do your bit and help Hoswer by
carrying home the farm food products
you need" Is the slogan OF bulletin
which is being sent to every automo-
bile dealer and garage owner in the
state by the Good Roads Association
of Wisconsin.
With 10000 automobiles In Wis
consin and their carrying capacity the
association figures that an enormous
tonnage of farm food products can be
hauled In these cars, thus relieving
our over-burdened railway transporta-
ton. The basic fact of their appeal
is this:
There are over 10000 automobiles
In the state Of Wisconsin. These au-
tomobiles are being used regularly In
the summer and fail months for tour
Ing In the country. On these trips the
owners can very readily pick up farm
food products which they need and
carry them into the city. resulting In
saving to them in the cost Of all
the product and the economic waste
from rail transportation and passing
through the hands Of the middleman.
In addition to making each pleasure
trip a d-product-carrying trip, spe-
cial trips can be made into the country
by owners. A couple of such special
trips to buy from the farmers would
supply the average family.

ELECTRICITY'S LATEST ACHIEVE
MENT-CLEAN, SMOOTH
TRANS MOUNTAIN
TRAVEL.

Through the medium Of a kite string
came mans mightiest servitor Thru
its forces, time and space have been
Iobliterated. Whispers carry across the
continent-night is turned into day
messages flash thru the air.
And now again thru the enter
prise of man, electricity has been
given new, and perhaps greater,
work. That the nations commerce
may move swiftly, surely across the
mountains-thatt travel may be smooth,
clean, thoroughly enjoyable - the
mighty spark has been won from
mountain cataracts to electrify great
railway.
, On the Chicago, Milwaukee Sc St.
Paul Railway for 44O miles through
the Belt, Rocky and Bitter Root noun
tains, steam has given place to cleo
tricity. Trains are moved with con-
summate ease across the mile-high
ramparts of the Continental Divide.
An so successful has been the OPP
Grafton of these electrified divisions
that the railway is now electrifying
the 211 miles of main line thru the
snow-capped Cascades, Washington.
When next you journey to Spokane,
Seattle, Tacoma, Portland and other
cities in the Pacific Northwest, take
either of those famous trains, ''The
Olympian" Or ''The Columbian" and
enjoy the delights of electric travel,
over the Chicago, Milwaukee & St.
Paul Railway.
For literature and full information
apply to local agent of this railway.

Cheap Carnivais Hit by Council.

The state council Of defense has
gone after the cheap carnival.
The following statement by Secre-
tary A. H. Melville has just been sent
to all county councils and the cam
paign is on against immoral shows:
There Is always some criticism Of
travelling shows of doubtful charac-
ter, but this year 1t is especially Wig
Orous. In view of the state and ma
ttonal campaigns for economy. IL Is
absurd to encourage these wastefui or
CARNATIONS merely for the sake of the
amusement which they furnish.
"Healthful amusement and whole
some entertainment, If economically
handled, should be encouraged. Car
nivals carefully planned by local COM
mittees are usually of this type. These
the state council of defense has no
disposition to criticize, but 1t wishes
emphatically TO place its stamp OF dis
approval upon the floating carnival Of
low character, which visits towns only
to bleed them as much as possible.
1.-The average travelling street carni-
val makes no educational and little
financial contribution to the commun-
ity. The character Of amusement and
entertainment Is not always whole
some. The moral tone Is usually not
high.
"The state council Of defense,
therefore, urges that the county coun-
oils fako ovoru laUttjmato sion IN dia-
courage people from patronizing street
carnivals and similar organizations OF
doubtful character"

citation here. Featured at the sessions
was an address by J. ]. Phoenix, presi-
dent of the Bardley Knitting company
of Delavan and Milwaukee, who mer-
cilessly fiayed pacifists and others who
interfered with the nation in time of
war. Phoenix declared that the
speeches of these men were inspired
by German influences and that every
one of them bore the well-knOwn label,
Made In Germany" He especially
flayed Senator La Toilette of Wtscon-
sin, declaring that it was the eternal
shame Of the state to have such rep
resentative in congress. More than a
hundred bankers representing the lead
ing financial institutions in the state,
cheered his utteranceS.
