$4,000 workers for the third liberty

such stimulus by their simple talks
that the quota set by the Goodrich
officials was raised in three days and
$250,0o0 more.
Secretary McAdoo was so elated
with the Goodrich efforts that he
sent a letter of congratulation to of

the next liberty loan would probably
embrace features of the Goodrich
plan of financing the loan.
An element that pleased Mr.. Nc

Stubbornness A Winning Trait.
Somehow or other when one talked

Pierron lost his leg at Lens after
twenty-nine months of fighting and
Boyle was wounded in the great
Somme offensive-one thought of

broken. They were typical Scots.
They went m~ethodically about their
business as they went about their
fighting, quite certain they would
sueceed-with never a thought of
failure. An incident reflected this
spirit.
Someone asked Smith, a veteran
of the Boer war also, about the great
German offensive in progress.
"What if they break through"
asked the questioner.
"But what if they don IT." was
the rejoinder of the little Scotch

GOLDEN WEDDING ANNIVERSARY

Monday, Nov %, was an occasion of
much joy and felicity for Mr.. and Mrs.
Alonzo F. Kellogg, $50 Church Street.
During the afternoon and evening they
were at home to their many friends,
young and old, who joined in cele-
brating and congratulating them upon
the attainment of their fiftieth we'd
ding anniversary. The celebration
was planned and carried out by loyal
friends and Deighbors. The culminat-
ing event of the occasion, however,
was the presentation to the bride and
groom" of fine victrola with numer-
Gus records, the music from which
lent harmony and festivity to the
event. The gift was fittingly present
ed on behalf of the friends by Rev
H. D. Davies, who was followed by
DR.. A. r. THAN, former pastor of
the Congregational Church.
The occasion seemed to be the in
spiration of considerable appropriate
verse, a part of which was the follow
ing BY Rev. Davies, given during the
presentation remarks:
Friends, for a moment let's forget
The Huns we've put to rout,
The flu, the vote for dry or wet
And move we read about
That we may celebrate today
A great event forsooth
With friends who've travelled the far
way
From long-past, carefree youth.
And now stand joyous at the goal
That is so seldom gained
BY these united heart and soul
BY men who are ordained.
Their Golden Wedding we rejoice
To witness, to be sure,
And all join in with heart and voice
To wish them bliss that's pure.
We hope that life's remaining days
For them more joy will mean
And harmonic like minstrel lays
With what before has been.
May golden thoughts suffuse their
heart
In happiness. sublime
While hfe's rich, golden sunset art
Adorns their evening time.
The golden crown the King of Kings
Doth promise to bestow
On all who live the life of love
Has come to them, we know.
This crown of life, with glittering gem
That sheds a heavenly ray,
Unlike the Kaisers diadem,
Endures for e'er and aye.
In responding to the many tokens Of
love and esteem from the numerous
friends both Mr.. and Mrs. KELLOGG
lapsed into verse. Mrs. kellogg said:
NV dear old grandmother used to say.
You must take some comfort every
day,
/ do not know what kept her alive,
But my grandmother lived to be
ninety-hve.
Mr.. kellogg gave the following orig
inal lines:
Long before that eventful day
Across the fields l found the way
To sec the girl who should be my wife,
who would be a blessing all through
life.
Wauwatosa news. [volume] (Wauwatosa, Wis.) 1900-1948, 1918-11-29

Just as sweet and fair as she used

Now friends, who come to call.
We extend our thanks and love to
all.

their present home for many years,

WOULD PROMOTE GOLD MINES
Nation Asked to Build Roads Into
Central Idaho.

Gold production in Idaho county
should be stimulated to meet the in
creasing demands of the national gov
eminent for more gold, and the federal
government. should lend prompt and ade-
quate assistance to the construction of
motor truck roads to the gold fields
of Idaho county, as war measure, de-
clared E. M. Griffith, prosecuting at
torney and well-known local mining
man, in an address before the Grange
vile Commercial club Wednesday noon.
Mr.. Griffith 8 address was based on q
statement recently made by w. G.. Nc
Adoo, secretary of the treasury, that
next to food and ammunition, gold is
one of the most needed war essentials.
Mr.. Griffith said that it is generally
recognized that Central Idaho is the
greatest undeveloped gold field in the
United States today and that, inasmuch
as it has been officially stated that the
production of gold is essential to prose-
cution of the war, it would not be out of
place for the attention of the govern
ment to be called to the great gold
fields of Idaho county, where only trans
portation is required to insure big in
flow of capital and consequent develop
ment of the mines.

Court Lectures
Pool Hall and
Cigar Store Men
BUSINESS JEoPARDIZED BY FAIL
URE OF ONE DEALER TO
OBSERVE THE LAW.

All pool hall and cigar store proprie-
tors in Grangeville were called before the
probate court Friday, where they were
reminded by the court, the sheriff and
prosecuting attorney, that the daytime
closing order, recently promulgated by
Governor Alexander as a wartime mea-
sure must be strictly observed, or the
places of business affected by the order
closed at all times.
The dealers were summoned before the
probate court, not because is was felt
that all had been guilty of violation of
the order, but because minor infractions
had been reported from one pool hall,
and it was the desire of the officials to
arrive at an understanding with the pool
hall and cigar store proprietors of the
city in regard to future conduct of their
businesses, and to inform the dealers
that their places of business had been
jeopardized by failure of one man to
adhere strictly to the closing order.
The officials pointed out that minors
had been allowed to loiter in pool hall
and to play slot machines during the day
Slot machines are not supposed to be
operated between sunrise and p. m,
and at no time are minors to be allow
ed to loiter in pool halls.
The Officials furthermore warned
against criticism of the governor for
having issued the closing act, saying
that the course was taken by the state s
chief executive as a war measure.

REDUCE SUGAR FOR CANNING
Dealers Permitted to Sell Only 2t
Pounds to Customer.

Sales Of sugar for canning purposes
are limited to twenty-five pounds to
one person, under new order recently
issued by the food administration. The
earlier order providing for sales of up
to 100 pounds to a person for use in
canning has been revoked, and all deal
ers have been instructed to sell no more
than twenty-five pounds under the can
ming permit.
The notable reduction in the sugar
quota is due to a serious shortage in
Cuban deliveries, large consumption,
losses due to submarine activities, and
consequent loss of shipping.
Even though a temporary surplus ex-
lists in Idaho, conservation is declared
important, as the available sugar must
be distributed over a considerable
Period.
