this can be accomplished is by count.

greater advantages than any insur.
ance policy previously offered by any
company; and, remember, insurance
may be obtained at ages varying from
ID to SO years, II you cannot at the
present time give me your own ap-
plication, haven't you a wife, a
daughter, a son, a friend or a relative
whom you could recommend to me?

At the Theatres

The program arranged for the ClaS-
sic and Majestic theatres for Satur-
day should meet with approval. The
Allied War Review and the Billy West
comedy will be run in both houses,
while there will be an entirely differ
ent feature in both houses. Roy Stew
art will be shown at the Classic and
Jack Mulhall, the famous woman i'm
persOnatOr, will be seen at the Males
tic. 1t will undoubtedly be news to the
public to know that the Allied War
Review is the only authentic govern
ment weekly of today. This picture is
owned by the Allied governments and
the entire rentals excepting the actual
distribution goes to the Allied govern
ments. This one reel of film costs the
management nearly as much as some
five reel programs
Elsie Ferguson will be seen in her
latest Aircraft picture, "The Lie" at
the Classic tonight. Few pictures in
which Miss Ferguson has thus far ap-
peared surpass ''The Lie" in point of
human interest and distinct heart ap-
peal. The theme embodies a great sac
rifice made by one sister for another,
to the end that the family honor may
not suffer. The scenes are laid in an
old Abbey in England and afford in
teresting glimpses of aristocratic
country life.
Madam Spy will be the attraction
at the Majestic Saturday. Bob Wes-
Jack Mutually, son of Admiral Wes-
ley (Wadsworth Harris), has complet-
ed his term at Annapolis. He arrives
home and is congratulated by his faith
er and sister. The next day Admiral
Wesley receives a telegram informing
him that his son has failed to pass his
examination. See the outcome at the
Majestic Saturday.

WILL STAGE BIG PAGEANT
HERE ON next SUNDAY

The big pageant For Liberty"
which is part of the program for Pa
triOtic Sunday was given a rehearsal
Thursday evening and bids fair to be
a wonderful success. The pageant will
be staged at Riverside park and will
start promptly at p. m. The introduce
tory march Our America" was COM
posed by John Keck of Watertown,
with the marines at Paris Island, S. c..
The theme follows:
The spirit of brotherly love embod-
led in both Liberty and Justice comes
to earth. All nations, great and small,
are summoned to live within it's light
until War, grim and terrible, breaks
up the peaceful existence, dragging
Belgium and Armenia in the dust In
the name of Liberty the nations allied
against the principle that might
makes right come to their aid
France, Britain with her colonies, Ire
land, Scotland, Wales, Canada, Aus
tralia, New Zealand, a-Serbia,
Montenegro, Russia, Poland, Italy,
Japan, China, Siam, San Marine, Por-
tugal, Roumania and Greece Last of
all Columbia, whose coming Faith,
Hope, Charity and Mercy have antici-
pated, comes jubilantly with all her
resources. War with it's terrors van
ishes, and the dove OF peace, born
anew enters as of old, and dispells all
fear

Editor News. Received copy of the
News today, Tuesday, and read it with
much interest. 1t always seems good
to read WATERFOWL news, but last
week brought the sad news of the
death Of one of my altar boys, Kenneth
Peterson, and Miss Alice Hawkins. I
said requiem mass for them at my
altar down here.
l congratulate you giving a Roll
of Honor" 1 shall cut it out and place
it on my altar card. You know, Mr..
Holland, that 1 cannot forget the fine
chaps that went away last August

that have enlisted during the past
year. 1t is harder to stay at home, than
to enlist. While the tragedy of the
world is going on, why should anyone
sit by the fire and warm himself l
pray to God every day that He send
me forth into the Fight-and 1 know
my prayers will be answered. In look
ing over the list l can add the names,
Harris Braden, Arnold Kramer and
David Schwieger, were omitted. 1
want to say that the Honor Tablet in

the following names: Robert Archie,

on the court house lawn and preach
to congregation varying from 200 to
600. 1t seems strange to work in
town where there is no Roman Catho-
lie work, and Professionalism is in it's
worst form. The Catholic faith is not
understood down here. So you see it
keeps me busy teaching the people.
What is strange to me is the fact that
the Protestants know absolutely
nothing about the Catholic faith and
yet they hate it. But then in persecu-
ton there is strength and we will win
out.

Seventh ward told boy whom he had

Somewhere, Sometime in July
Dear Gussy: Sixty of our brave men
brought in two Americans yesterday.
1t was great victory. Give all the
school children a vacation. 1 don't
want them to get too much education,
anyhow. 1t teaches them to think
Our own six dear children are very
we'll; not one of them can get shot for
iron crosses. The crown prince weighs
700 pounds in his medals Next to the
sultan of Turkey, he is the greatest
soldier on our side. If they ever get a
shot at him, they got to look quick.
l don't know when l will get home.
Maybe not SO soon as l told you, so
don't keep supper hot on the back of
the stove. l got to whip France, Eng
land, Italy and America yet. I got all
the rest cleaned up.
Colt is maching with us to victory,
but l don't see Him around nowhere.
When l impose my will upon the
world, 1 will mention you and my six
sons in it. It is all drawn up, and is
in the brown teapot on the top shelf
in the pantry.
l promised my people peace. Well I
have kept my word. About 100000 of
them have found peace in the past
two months.
Be sure and wind up the watch on
the Rhine every night. Send twelve
more uniforms, and if you happen to
meet my partner Colt anywhere, tell
Him to get busy and get on the job or
He will make me out a liar.
Yours hastily,
WILLY.

MILK PRICES MAY ADVANCE
LOCAL DEALERS ASSERT

AS the present outlook appears local
milk dealers will again find it neces-
sary to advance the price of milk
Thursday News reporter interviewed
A. l.. Mullen, First street, who is in
the milk business, and he said this
about the situation when asked if he
predicted an advance in the milk
prices: "As present conditions look,
we will almost be forced to raise the
price of milk l cent per quart in less
than month. With the present prices
there is barely no profit and we will
most certainly have to increase our
prices. The price of cream would
have to be increased proportionately,"
he said. The Watertown Creamery
company was rather reticent when
asked about the matter when we find
1t necessary to increase our milk
prices, We will do So" the manager of
the company said, regardless of what
our competitors do"
Milwaukee milk is now selling at II
cents per quart, the milk dealers hay-
ing raised 1 cent

Why the Colors Vary.

Pure water, according to Lord
Raleigh, is greenish blue. while pure
air is blue, because, according to New
toms dictum, the molecules of the air
are sufficiently large to reflect blue
rays.
