A Critical Situation,

Thirty Wisconsin newspapers have
already suspended on account of the
great increase in paper prices and 9th
er expenses incidental to the publica-
ton Of newspapers. In Ohio ten pa
pers have already gone out of business
and many more are lettering. In the
country at large there have been over
eight hundred papers compelled to
quit for the same reason. This will
afford some idea of the manner in
which the publishing business has been
hit by present conditions-W atertown

A Note of Optimism.

Notwithstanding all reports to the
contrary, there has never been an hour
in American history when there was
such a manifest spirit of democracy
in the industrial life of the country as
there is to-day. We have still great
ways to go in this direction, as we have
in most every other line, but sympathy
and good will are gaining ground

Running a newspaper shows one
clearly how many brave people there
are in the world. That is, people who
are brave enough to want newspaper
to attack tits or that thing; expose
this or that wrong, but at the end are
very careful to say that their name
must not be mentioned Very frequent

say is right, but still it is to laHgh to

bad job of it. Far be it from us to

in oblivion. 1t it hadn't been for his
money Harry would have been electro
cuted years ago and forgotten by this

and legal delays and so his degeneracy
continues. Harry is not a great deal,

right thinking people, made heroes of
them and bow the sob writer's did rave!

Abilene, Kan.-Married in a ceme-
terry.
That was the way E. K. Eicholtz,
an Abilene undertaken, solved the
question of "a quiet wedding"
He and Miss Ruth Marion were
made husband and wife in the ceme-
terry here several weeks ago, but the
news has just become public. The
couple, desiring to keep the marriage
secret, had it performed at night. The
secret was not revealed until their re-
turn from their honeymoon.
From various accounts the story
goes like this:
"Well make it a quiet wedding"
, said EicholtZ, when he and his sweet
heart decided to be married. "Pve
got the idea"
II knew you'd get it." said the girl.
Where will we have it,"
"In the cemetery" responded Etc
holtz, triumphantly.
Miss Marion ventured to point out
| ludI d SIdNSydIu was not Iho coy yCSl
| place In the world.
| why" said Eicholtz, '1've spent
some of the happiest days of my life
in cemeteries"
Eicholtz was in favor of having the
wedding at midnight, but Miss Marion
said she'd have to draw the line some
where and positively refused to con-
slider any hour after $3.50 o'clock In
the evening. Eicholtz was rather dis
appointed. He said 1t always seemed
to him that midnight was the cheer
fullest possible time around a ceme-
terry. But Miss Marion was firm, and
$3.50 It was.
Confirming the news upon his re-
turn from his honeymoon, Eicholtz
said 1t was a greatly ceremony.
"Mrs. Eicholtz wasn't scared, or at
least IL she was I couldn't notice 1t, }"
he added. "And it was solemn-why
you couldn't imagine anything more
impressive. 1t was as good as fun.

Z Vernon, preacher.

Vermont preacher.
His grandfather-for whom he was
named-was a st. Louis doctor, who
later took up the ministry. Both his
father and mother are evangelists.
Rev. Henry Atwood began preach
Ing when he was IA years old. That
was in Phillipsburg, Kans. One Sun
day his father, the regular minister,
had to be out of town. Henry Atwood
filled the place and did 1t so well that
ever since that time he has been In
the preaching business. A year or 80
ago he preached a sermon at Tecum-
sch. They heard about 1t at Table
Rock and the youthful minister got q
call to the church at that place after
preaching a few sermons. The Elk
Creek church, few miles to the
north, had had no pastor for some
time. Henry Atwood saw a chance
to liven up the religious life in that
village and he found little trouble In
becoming the preacher there.
There are just $50 people in ELI
Creek and yet Henry Atwood's
