Makocha Study Club Meeting

The Makocha Study club met
at the home Of Mrs. Thos. l..
Bouck on Friday, Nov. 9th, with
twenty members present and an
swering to roll call, with the
president presiding. Four visit
ors, Mrs. Norman Knudson, Of
Manitowoc, Wis.,, and Mrs. w. w.
Downie and the Misses Francis
Konold and Doris Rix, were wei
come guests.
Mrs. Downie gave a splendid
report Of the State Federation
meeting, which was held at HUI
ron a short time ago, and to
which she was a delegate from
the fifth district as it's president.
The report was a thorough one
and being well given was full of
interest to the members.
Mrs. Robert D.. Jones had
charge of the program for the
afternoon and gave a splendid
review of the important COM
posers of music which America
has produced, rendering a rep
resentative selection of each
ones composition for the voice.
In each of these, vocal numbers
she was accompanied by Mrs. G..
o. Goodman, with the exception
of one number by Mcdowell,
which was rendered by Miss
Francis Konold. Miss Konold al
so played two piano solos by the
same composer. The numbers
were all we'll rendered and the
afternoon Of music was a rare
treat to all, making us realize
more fully the genius of our own
great artists that our own great
country has produced. The mum
bers have especial merit as an

again applying yourself to 1t for fifty
minutes, and SO continue throughout
the entire day. !.
Always observe closely the rule re
garding tight direction. Sit with your

Celebrated Bachelor.
Handel, Reynolds, Turner, Sir Isaac
Newton and Cavendish were among
the men illustrious in art or science
who remained bachelors.
Among authors we have Pope, Gold
smith, Lamb and Macaulay. The fee
bfe health Of the wasp OF. Twicken-
ham, stood no doubt in the way OF
his marrying. Goldsmith had not the
same excuse, but In his case It was
quite as well that he passed through
life as a bachelor. A single man who
habitually spends twice as much as
he has is never likely to make a wise
and prudent husband.
Lamb, that frail. good man." as
Wordsworth calls him, was a bachelor
not from choice, but from affection.
The singular loyalty with which he
devoted himself to hts sister IN circnm-
stances Of melancholy interest prevent
ed his marrying a girl whom, 1t ap-
pears. be truly loved. Lord Macaulay
rested content with the loving sympa-
thy Of hts sister. Hannah, the wife Of
Sir Charles Trevelyan, whose children
were to him as his own.

Being in the railroad business under
the weather conditions of the past week
is not sinecure by any means First
there came a hard pressure from the
hand of the frost king, making ii diff
cult to produce steam enough to haul the
trains, to say nothing of heating the
passenger coaches. Then there came a
fall of snow of great depth which served
to block the advance of the trains even
though it had become possible to make
steam enough for the ordinary traffic
The public should realize those hardships
Of the railroads Incidentally, we are
able to realize some of the handicaps to
carrying on war which the general stats
experience in certain regions of Europe,
where trains bearing troops and mum
tions and food supplies are held up for
long periods.

The British high command makes rec.
ignition of the services performed by the
American engineers in General Byng's
attack on the Cambria sector. The rec
ognition is tardy but nevertheless more
convincing because it is made only after
full reports had been received. Added to
the French official appreciation, it makes
a conclusive testimonial that the Amer
leans conducted themselves valiantly and
intelligently. The American people feel
well pleased over the early operations of
their representatives in the great war
We have not lost the art OF fighting in
