REGISTRATION IMPERATIVE,
An Obligation Not to Be Shirked by
 Men of Specified Age.

One year in jail is the alternative for the young men between the ages of 2l and 30 who do not register next Tuesday for military service. This is the edict of Uncle Sam and it's a mighty serious proposition to trife with, as those who try it will find to their sorrow, 1t is promised. The man who fails to register, for whatever cause, will not only get a long jal sentence, but registered as well.
 Much is being done here to make certain that all obligated to do so reg isfer The man who tries Co avoid registration very likely will t5nd him self trapped. Companies operating manufacturing plants are showing a splendid spirit of cooperation and will see to it that their employees within the day.

Automobiles are cheaper. Everybody
admits that. And with this knowledge,
from all reports, more and more cars
are being sold this season than ever
before. Persons who a few years ago
never dreamed of possessing their own
private vehicle are taking Sunday
trips the same as those whom they
had always envied. But someone al
ways takes the joy out of life. Just
when the poor man has a chance to
at least feel wealthy someone takes ad-
vantage of him. Now it is those who
fix gasoline prices. The cheapness of
automobiles has been the basis of the
advance in gas, and thousands of au-
tomobiles have been sent to garages.
1t has become matter of bread or
gas, and the poor man must have
bread

The Detroit Free Press thinks that
most of the people who return unre-
freshed from their summer vacations
are victims of their own excuses.
''They do not understand that too
much fishing, too much boating, too
much swimming, too much good liv-
ing within given period is almost
as demoralizing as too much liquor.
They make no distinction between a
vacation and a spree" The suggestion
may be worth considering by those
who need it. Americans, it is true,
are not celebrated for the practice Of
moderation.

ANOTHER PIONEER HOME.

Mrs. Hanah Gilbert-Swan, widow of
the late Nathaniel Swan, died at the
family home on Sunday morning, DC
tober 21st.
By her death WAuwatosa has lost
one of its pioneers and remarkable
woman.
She was born in Nashville, N. Y,
in 1927. In 1889 her parents, Rich
ard and Nancy Green-Gilbert, with
their family, consisting of five boys
and four girls moved into Wisconsin,
settling on a farm near Wauwatosa.
Soon after the Congregational church
of Wauwatosa was organized and
Richard Gilbert, his wife and oldest
children were among the charter men,
bers.
The family thrived and prospered
and the children, in time, married and
settled not far from the old home
stead. They were sturdy, religious
and industrious family, and very
many of our most influential and wor-
thy citizens are proud to say they are
Gilbert descendants.
AZ IlIC age VI IL, 1i1bSAS
married Nathaniel Swan. They be-
gan housekeeping on the same farm on
which the home stands today. Three
children were born 30 them - Nancy
M. MRS. Chas. T. FISHERY, Orlin j.
and Emery A. Swan, and they were all
with their mother in her last illness.
Mrs. Swan had lived a very active
life, and was a woman of sterling
qualities-interested in all progressive
movements - great reader with a
fine memory, witty, kind and helpful
to all.
Had she lived to December 10. she
would have been 80 years old. Be
sides her three children she leaves
eight grand children and twelve great
grand children.
The funeral was held Tuesday aft
ernoon, Oct %, the Rev. H. d. Davies
of the First Congregational church, of
Wauwatosa, officiating. Interment was
in the family lot in the Wauwatosa
cemetery.

Quotations INFANCY.

Why should women read? With a
'ount of Omniscience in their home,
Why should the feminine contingent of
he family burrOw into books? We
must discourage such a foolish within,
said the typical eighteenth century
gentleman.
SO thought all the conservative pill
ars of society in that day, and so
'uled Andre Bowman of Fife, whose
will has late been brought to light in
he course of property dispute. An
1rew Bowman of Fife purchased land
ed property in 1850 and also built up
arge library of the classics and en-
cravings.
His heirs were forbidden to sell or
lend the books and the heir sis
bound to keep a suitable room for
the library in his house and to allow
free access to it to the neighboring
gentlemen, there to read and study.
Women and children are expressly pro-
hibited from having access to the Ii
brary." Reading, according to this
gentleman of Fife, was reserved for
gentlemen. No mere farmers or ten
ants should have access to these books,
and women, according to the English
or Scotch country gentleman of 1850,
had no business with books.

Waking a House = Home.

In planning a home it is essential to

and follow those plans, also that he
build his house on honest lines that
