The War Savings Cam
paign

Have you bought your War Savings
Stamps?
If not, why not today, instead Of
some luxury you could do without ?
The war promises to be longer and
more costly than any of US dreamed
of when it started, and more so than
We expected six months ago. The
cost of living viii be very high. We
have got to give up lot of things
that we are used to, but which we
can get along without.
The War Savings Stamps not merely
help the government support the army
but they provide Us with reserve
against the pinch that is coming. A
little interest will be accumulating
from month to month, that will come
IN mighty handy one of these days.
The people who can't deny themselves
a few things to buy the stamps, will
be the ones who bewail their hard
luck most bitterly at some future
time.

LOST BOY
NOT FOUND

Jack Matthews, the little three-year
cid son Of Mr.. and Mrs. Chas. Mat
thews, is still missing It has been
the general belief that he was
drowned at the point on the west bank
Of the Wisconsin river where the fun
mel with which he was playing, was
found. It may be possible that the
little body was carried by the recent
high water and deposited somewhere
and has been covered up. 1t would
seem that this must be the case as
the body would certainly have come
to the surface somewhere. His alb
sence is not only great worry to
the fond parents, but to the near
neighbors and many friends in this
city. The search for the body has
been diligent and painstaking and will
not be given up for some time to come.
It has been suggested that possibly
the bright little fellow was Kidnapped
and the funnel with which he was
playing, was thrown into the river.
The parents and everyone else have
been loath to believe that he has been
kidnapped and they cannot assign any
motive for it. While there was a band
Of gypsies and horsetraders in the city
about the same time, it doesn't seem
possible that they should want to
l1idnap the boy. The lowering of the
water in the river on Sunday was
very successful and the bed of the
river was thoroughly searched for
the little body. The family fully ap-
preciate the kindness of the paper mil
people, members of Co. K and all OF
those who searched for the remains
of their little son. His absence and
the uncertainty whether he is drowned
or living is wearing heavily on the
parents, neighbors and friends. We
sincerely hope that everybody resid
ing, or employed at the various mills
below the city, viii keep a sharp look
out and see if the remains cannot be
located.

CHAIRMAN

The Manufacturers Convention for
the Counties of Wood and Portage,
which was held in Marshfeld on Fri
day June 21, showed excellent judg-
ment in the selection Of L. n. Alex
ander Of Port Edwards as their Chair
man. Mr.. Alexander is President of
the Nekoosa Edwards Paper Co.. with
large milling interests at Nekoosa,
Port Edwards and Grand Rapids. He
is probably more conversant with the
manufacturing interests of this sec
ton and thruout the state than any
other man in the Convention and there
fore his election will meet with the
hearty approval of everybody inter
ested in this part of the Wisconsin
River valley.

Director Freund
Rev. Reding has been pastor of the
local congregation in this city nearly
eleven years. He has proven himself
very strong and popular, not only
among his own church and parishers,
but with the people of the city and
surrounding country as a whole, re-
gardless of denomination. He was
educated in this country and is fully
American in his ways and teachings;
he is democratic, fair and broad in all
his conduct towards other denomina-
tions who are working together for
the up-building of the human race.
His parents immigrated to this coun-
try from the Grand Duchy of Luxem-
bourg in September 1867, and settled
in the eastern part of the state of
Minnesota, twenty miles from St.
Paul. Here the future pastor of Grand
Rapids grew up and attended the par
ochial and public schools until he grad
uated. Later he entered St. Johns
University, near St. Cloud, Minnesota
and took up the Classical and Com
mercial courses. After completing the
latter course, he continued his studies
in the Classical department of Cam
pain College in charge Of the Jesuit
Fathers at Prairie du Chen, Wiscon-
sin. In the fall of 1888, he entered
the Seminary of ST. Francis, Milwau
kee, Wisconsin, where he took the
course in Philosophy and Theology
He was ordained for the diocese of the
Cross, June "a, 1898, by the Rt. Rev
O. Zardetti, then bishop of St. Cloud
Shortly after his ordination the Rt
Rev. Bishop Schwebach, D. D., ap
pointed him pastor of Eau Gale, Dunn
County, this state. He worked her
with marked success for ten years
He was then transferred to Colby. L
July 1907, he was appointed pastor 0
S. S. Peter and Paul parish in this cit,
He has been with US now almos
eleven years. Since his advent i
Grand Rapids the members of hi
congregation have learned to love hin
and obey his counsel. All citizens Q
Grand Rapids respect him and al
always pleased to meet with him i
