SAVED By SUNDAY
WILL WE'D ANGEL
sThe Professor Who Lost College
Position Through Drunkenness, Met
Her IN the Sunday Tabernacle.

New York, July 12.-Hundreds OF
persons who regularly attended the
Billy Sunday meetings in the Taber-
nacle uptown will remember the
Professor a tall, gaunt individual
who hopelessly drunk, staggered
down the troll one night to take the
evangelist's hand and tnen fell fat
upon his face in the sawoust.
This man had been an instructor
in a prominent college in New Jer-
sey, bat liquor put him down and
out. He was the most shocking spec
linen oil ifrt and tatters and general
helplessness that ever presented him
sci for conversion.
Some of the personal workers
knelt in circle about ''The Pro
fessor," and prayed with him. They
got him fod and later clothing
Then someone got him job. In a
month he was an entirely rejuvenat-
ed person. He was clean, sober, &C
tually youthful looking and he had
made good with his employers.
Among the persons who aided IN
the redemption OF "The Professor
was a sweet-faced woman in he-
early thirties, who soon became
known to him and to the other per
sonal workers as "The Angel She
sat beside "The Professor" at subse-
auent meetings; they prayed to-
gether; they sang together from the
same hymn book.

become again the charming, bril-
liant fellow he was fifteen years ago
before he began to drink heavily;
and the woman is proud to have her
friends and relatives know him. The
wedding will take place in a few
weeks. The World has the names Of

them since he is to begin new life

In Remembrance of Dear Ola.

Ola Ezerlee Ringer was born Feb
ruary 19, 1897, and died April l, 1917.
On the morning Of April 1st came an
Angel to our home and removed the
spirit of our dear Ola to the great
beyond. She loved everybody and al
ways welcomed them with loving
smiles and kind words
We had dear treasure once,
She was all our JOY and pride,
We loved her, oh, perhaps too well,
For soon she slept and died.
All is dark within our home
Lonely are our hearts today,
For the one we loved so dearly,
Has forever passed away.
We miss thee from our home, dear
darling,
The voice we loved is still,
She place made vacant in our home
Can never more be filed,
We miss thy kind and willing hand,
Thy fond and earnest care.
Our home is dark without thee,
We miss thee everywhere.
Earth has lost its look Of gladness,
Heaven seems to US more bright,
Since the spirit of our dear one
Took her happy homeward flight,
And we long to cross that river,
Long to rest upon that shore,
There to see and know and love her,
With the Saviour ever more.
One Who Loved Her.

COMPROMISE BILL REJECTED
Assembly Refuses to Permit lntrodue-

Madison Gov Philips recummen-
dation that the legislature enact a law
to prohibit the sale of liquor. but per
nit the sale of beer and light wines
during the war, was turned down in
the assembly when the house, As to
AZ, declined TO admit the Introduction
of the Carpenter bill to carry out the
governors suggestion.
Opponents OF the state aoministra
ton liquor bill succeeded in preventing
tho introduction of the measure in the
senate. The committee on legislative
procedure, with two members dissent
ing, offered the bill for introduction,
and President Pro Tempore Burke,
who was in the chair. announced that
it was received.
A few minutes later Senator Han
son entered the chamber, and learning
that the bill had been received,
charged that the committee on legisla-
him because he had been told by mem
beers OF it that the bill would not be
offered until later And besides it was
bill that had been given to the com
mittee on state affairs for considera-
ton and should by all the rules of the
senate be considered as still being in
the possession OF that committee. he
said. After some discussion Burke
withdrew the bill.
Senator Bennett then tried TO intro
duce a similar bill, but the senate by
vote of Z to II, refused to suspend
the rules and allow him to present ii
for introduction.
The Bennett bill prohibits the sale
of hard liquor in the state after July
/, next, but permits the manufacture
of it for sale in foreign countries, and
also permits the manufacture and sale
of wines and elders containing not
more than 10 per cent of alcohol. It
also provides that a person who loses
his license because of violation of law
shall never be granted new one.
Bennett said that he would later at.

GOV. D|SAPPROVES
SCHOOL LUNCH BILL
SAYS MEASURE GIVING CHILDREN
MEALS BELOW COST NOT
CONSTITUTIONAL.
ASKS THAT ACT BE AM ENDED
Wilcox Highways Resolution to Aid
Development of Land in the
State introduced in the
Senate.

Madison-Gov. Philip has vetoed
the w. l.. Smith bill providing that
the board of education of any city or
the district board Of any school dis
trict may provide meals for children
attending schools at not exceeding the
cost thereof" as the board of educa-
ton may determine.
To permit boards of education to
furnish meals at cost is worthy and
laudable purpose, the governor says,
but to furnish meals at below cost, or
absolutely free, is neither a sound
the constitutional sense, for which
taxes may be levied. The governor
notes that the bill opens the way for
free meals to the children of the rich,
who are abundantly able TO pay, as
well as those of the poor, who might
not be able to pay.
Gov. Philip asked friends of the
measure to amend the bill so that it
would come within provisions of the
constitution, but the author and other
that the purpose of the bill was to
permit boards of education to furnish
meals free if they saw fit.
The governor had a resolution in
troduced to recall the measure for
amendment, but the resolution was re-
jected.
In his veto Gov. Philip said he
would sign lunch" bill which came
within the constitution.
Senator Wilcox introduced a new
bill requiring town boards TO open
new highways on petition of owners
of land within half a mile of such
highways, the cost to be apportioned
equally among the owners of the land
within half mile of the highways, the
town and the county. The bill is in
tended to help open up to settlement
the unoccupied land in the northwest
and north parts of the state, and place
a large part OF the cost of the roads
on large owners of land.

The Flavor Lasts
Sailed Fish Popular Food.

How to conserve the fish supply is
one of the subjects receiving careful
attention by the British board of trade,
in conjunction with the board of agri-
culture. One of the methods which
will probably be adopted is the drying
or sailing of u much larger proportion
of the daily catch than at present, so
as to prevent waste by the fish getting
out of condition. Sailed paddock are
already being placed on the market in
considerable quantities as an expert
ment. They sell at about II cents a
pound retail, and are very palatable.

FARM LABOR is DISCUSSED
Wisconsin Industries Shown at
Meeting of Food Agents.

acknowledging the right balance
between supply and demand of labor
for Wisconsin farmers in the coming
rush of food crop harvests was the
overshadowing topic of the first gen
eral conference of county emergency
food agents just held here.
1t was plainly brought out at the
meeting, that in at least three distinct
sections of Wisconsin there is at pres
ent keen competition raging be-
tween certain industries in their bid
for available men. This, it is thought,
might tend to reduct the supply Of
help which can be furnished to the
farmer during the busy midsummer
season.
The mines of the southwestern coun-
ties, the factories of Milwaukee, and
the big special demand for a large
group of laborers and mechanics to
work on the military camp al Sparta,
seemed to present the biggest prob
lens to the farm recruiting officers.
The recommendation of the labor
committee, consisting strictly of active
food agents now in service, embodied
these points That all agencies en-
gagged in soliciting farm labor should
be familiar with farming conditions;
that all demands for labor should first
come from the farmer themselves,
thus regulating the supply by the ac-
tual demand that the agencies should
aim to cooperate with the regularly
organized county forces empowered by
the state Council of Defense to carry
on local work.
