The Young Peoples society of the
Norwegian Lutheran church will meet
tonight in the church parlors.
The newspaperman is blamed for a
whole lot of things he can't help, such
as using partiality in mentioning Wis
itors, giving news about some folks
and leaving others out, etc. He simply
prints all the news he can find. Some
people inform him about such things
and others do not. An editor should
not be expected to know the names and
residences of all your uncles, aunts and
cousins, even if he should see them get
on or off the train. Tell US about it.
It's news and makes the newspaper,
and every man, woman and child can
be associate editor if they only will.
Never apologize when you give this bit
of information to an editor, for if there
lives one so dead that he has lost his
appreciation of such favors he is dead,
indeed, to every virtue that imparts
value to a paper.

Another Crossing Accident.

Passengers on the south bound Chi
cago train Sunday evening were wit
nesses of an accident at the Grundy
crossing back Of the county asylum
when Mr. and Mrs. Harry Schumacher
narrowly escaped death. The two oc-
cupants of the car were hurled great
distance by the crash, Mr.. Schumacher
sustaining broken leg and splinter
ed arm, while his wife suffered severe
internal injuries. They were rushed to
their home, four miles north of James
Vile, where medical attention was
given them. They are reported as re-
covering.
The accident in which the victims so
miraculously escaped death occurred at
5 o'clock The car was struck by the
engine, just in front of the windshield,
and was crushed to pieces. The pilot
on the engine was smashed by the force
of the impact.

A quiet wedding took place at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. Edward Attic
sey at Fulton Saturday evening when
their daughter, Ora Alzada, was united
in marriage to William Wachlin Jr. Of
town of Albion, in the presence of i'm
mediate relatives, the Rev. Frank T.
Rhoad performing the ceremony. The
bride was accompanied by her sister,
Artie Attlesey, while the groom was
attended by his brother, Herman Wach-
lin. After the ceremony those present
partook of delicious three-course din

in. Mr.. and Mrs. Wachlin Jr left on
short wedding tour and will be at
home on the groom's farm in the town
of Albion after the first of June.

Liberty Loan Oversubscribed.

The final figures on the third Liberty
Loan drive show that Edgerton went
over the top in fine shape. The mini
mum quota assigned to Edgerton was
$87, 200 and the maximum $40, 900.
There has been subscribed through the
banks of this city 1929, $50 worth of
bonds; of this amount $37, 100 was
pledged by patrons of the banks in
Dane and Jefferson counties, for which
credit was not given, leaving the
amount applicable for credit for Edger-
ton, Fulton and half of Porter town
ships of 1892, 450, an oversubscription
Of $50, $50 or SO per cent. The commit
tee in charge of the drive are entitled
to much credit for the thorough man.
ner it has been conducted and the peo-
pie generally are to be congratulated
on the prompt and willing manner they
answered the call of the government
for financial support.
The work of the Boy Scouts in help
ing push over the bond quota is espec-
tally worthy of commentator. Twenty
one of the boys sold ten bonds each and
will be entitled to medal offered by
the government whenever Scout
reaches that mark: Their total sales
amount to about 500, 600. There was a
good deal of rivalry among the mem
bers of this organization and the young
sters worked like Trojans.
1t is generally believed that the quota
assigned to the Edgerton district is out
of proportion to cities about US. The
bank resources, we understand, are the
basis for fixing the quotas, which would
be fair division were we entitled to
take credit for all subscriptions from
residents of Dane and Jefferson coun-
ties served by our post office and who
do their banking business in our city.
And located so near county line divis-
ions adjustment ought to be made so
credit would be made for subscriptions
secured in this territory. These out
side sales amounted to $37, 500, which
in fairness ought to reduce our quota
in this as we'll as future bond issues.
But notwithstanding the Edgerton dis
trict went over the top as it has in
every other drive for Red Cross and
other war purposes.
There were 1925 individual subscrip-
tions in the Edgerton district totaling
1929, $50 for the third Liberty Loan.

DESERTS STORES To
ESCAPE PuRSuERS
Now that the Germans have been thrown
back across the Vese river losing their great base
at Fsmes, the allies probably will encounter stiff

ened resistance.
The first sign of this
came today in the COM
munlque of the French war office,
which stated that the light French de.
tachments, which had crossed the
Vesle were meeting with opposition
all along the line of their advance.
1t is likely that the Germans left
strong rear guard forces along the
high ground lying between the Vesle
and the Asne in order to hamper the
Franco-American advance.
IT is the plan OF the German high
command to retire all the way to the
making decisive stand, it would re-
quire some time for Ludendorff to get
his men, guns and supplies to the
the northern bank of the Aisne and
organize his new defensives so as to
meet the menace from the Rheims and
the Scissors flank, as well as from
the center.
In their retirement northward from
the Vesle the Germans laid the coun-
try in waste, applying the torch to
towns and villages and blowing up
railways and bridges, which indicated
their general plans embraced a wide
spread retreat
But the country south of the Aisne,
