WILSON URGES
ATHLETICS NOW
U. of Minnesota Board, how
ever, Fails to Hold Meeting
ing to Revive Sports.

Washington, May 25.-Wholesale
abandonment Of college and school
athletic sports during the war is not
advisable. President Wilson believes,
only because of their value to di-
vert the American people. but be-
cause they contribute to the national
defense. In a letter to Lawrence Per-
ry Of the New York Evening Post, the
president said: ~
Il would be sincerely sorry to see
the men and boys in our colleges and
schools give up their athletic sports,
and l hope most sincerely thai the
normal course Of college sports will
be continued as far as possible, not
only to afford a diversion to the Amer
lean people in the days to come when
we shall no doubt have our share of
mental depression. but as a real con-
tribution to the national defense, for
our young men must be made physic-
ally fit in order that later they may
take the place of those who are now
of military age and exhibit the vigor
and alertness which we are proud to
believe to be characteristic of our
young men,"

COMMUNITY CLUB

On Friday night the members of
the Diamond Hill Community club,
in the Dickie-E -Egerer-Voeck neighbor-
hood near North Freedom, listened
to an interesting program given by
several persons. The club was or
ganized some months ago and has be-
come one of the most active rural or
ganizations in the county.
Miss Lily Andrews, Baraboo, one
of the supervisors of county schools,
led in the community singing, all
joining in the rounds and national
airs. Miss Andrews has become a
skilled and enthusiastic leader in
community singing.
V. S. Pease and j. T. Bates, Bara-
boo, spoke of the value of community
organizations and assured the mem
bers that the work they were doing
is worth while.
The president of the club, G.. E..
Voeck, gave an illustration of farm
accounting, those present joining in
the work of listing the purchases and
sales supposed to have been made
Accounting has been much Simple
fed and is now one of the factors Of
intelligent farming.
In his address, A. S. Kingsford Of
Baraboo, said that he had been en-
gagged in educational work in other
states and what he had hoped for in
rural community advancement had
been accomplished in Sauk county
He spoke of the present conditions in
this country, how the president has
to bear his great burden, how we all
hate war and yet war has come. He
spoke of this as the momentous strug-
gle of history and urged national pa
triotism. He pictured the struggles
of such men as Dr. Steiner to make
a place in America and what. this ma
tion has done for those who have
come to make their homes here. No
one should hesitate to stand by the
flag.
Mrs George w. Davies and Miss
Lilly Andrews gave a duet. Mrs. Alice
Voeck was at the organ when the mu-
sical numbers were given. Besides
those mentioned there were also pres
ent County Superintendent Davies,
his mother, Mrs. d. j. Davies of
Spring Green, and Miss Valera Lar
son of North Freedom.
