tically the same. There being a few
changes, among, them. F. B. Younger,

KNIT BY MRS. f. J. GOODRICH

Last winter Mrs. E. J. Goodrich,
while doing Red Cross work. among
other things knit sweater in which
she pinned short note after the
sweater was completed. The incident
had been forgotten by her until yes
terday when Frank Turney called her
up and said that his son, Hiram, who
is in France with the rank of sergeant,
had written him stating that he had
received sweater liz which he had
found note from Mrs. Goodrich, and
asked him to inform her of the fact.
With a million and more sweaters
having gone from this country it is
interesting to note that this particular
sweater should have come into the
hands of an Amigo boy.-Antigo

DROWNING ACCIDENT

Last Saturday afternoon while Lydia
Rhode and NJ. e. Millin of Appleton,
were out on the Wisconsin river in a
gasoline launch, going from the MILAN
cottage at BUYERS Bay to Tomahawk,
the young lady, aged seventeen years,
was accidentally drowned. The launch
run up against some piling and tore a
hole in the bottom of the boat, causing
it to sink. Mr.. Millin made desperate
efforts to save the life of the girl, who
was a servant in the Millin home, but
found it impossible. He then started
out for shore, swimming a very long
distance, and finally reached the Tom
ahawk foundry, where he related his
terrible story and then broke down.
After a search of twentyfour hours
the body of the girl was found. The
accident happened about three o'clock
in the afternoon.

quent strong rallies when it was hoped
that she might again be restored TO
health. Her strength gradually de-
cllned the past months, and of late
she suffered greatly, but her suffer-

structor for many years in the Hum
boldt and Washington schools. The
things that stood out strongly in her
| character were her unSelfsh and gen
tie disposition and her willingness to
do her part cheerfully and smilingly.
She was beloved by every one with
whom she associated, and especially
by the children of Wausau, who went
to school to her. Besides her relatives
and many friends, the Board of Ed
, ucation, the teachers and school chill
| dren will feel the loss of a true and
| ideal friend and wonderful teacher.
Her death Is mourned by her
mother, Mrs. Elizabeth Opdahl, one
brother, Sergeant Elmer Opdahl, who
is with Troop d, Is Cavalry, "some-
where in France" two sisters, Misses
Leonardo and Anna Opdahl.
The date of the funeral had not been

though it will be held at the family
residence, and DR.. d, j. Williams of
the First Presbyterian church will
| officiate. Burial will be in Pine Grove
| cemetery.
Friends are kindly asked to send no

ARE GETTING TOGETHER

There seems to be strong disposition for
men and organizations to get together just
now and quit splitting hairs over matters
of minor Importance. This is particularly
noticeable among the pulpit and the press
The members of Protestant churches under
different names who in the past have spent
much of their energy denouncing each
others creeds and denominations are now
taking a common sense view OF the relig-
iOus situation and are more anxious to push
the cause of Christ than the denomination
and the different denominations in the
same communities are uniting, each giving
up it's identity. Even Protestant and Catho-
lie organizations are showing more signs
of fraternity than ever before, and if the
same spirit Of fraternity continues to grow
and expand the world will soon be we'll on
the road to great Christian Church and
sectarianism will stink into oblivion. If
Heaven is the objective point of all denomi-
nations. why divide up on trivial matters?
The press, too, is giving up much of it's old
time pickering and instead of two papers
being published in small communities the
two have united and the community is be-
ing given one strong and serviceable paper,
this is especially true of class and trade
papers among the white citizens. The col
ored man, however, still seems inclined to
go it alone both in his church denomina
tons and in his publications and periodi
Gals. In almost every community with
hundred colored families you will find two
or more regularly organized church de-
nominations, where one would be amply suf-
ficient. Colored persons do not seem to
have the happy faculty Of giving and TAX
ing, when it comes to dealing with each
other. Slight differences among members
of the same organization are permitted to
grow and enlarge until they explode and a
separate organization is the result, which
weakens the entire community in that res
pect. In Seattle there should not be to ex-
ceed two colored church organizations and
one would accomplish more, whereas, there
are five and yet quite a sprinkling of the
colored citizens are members of church or
CARNATIONS controlled by white citizens.
We long to see the day when the Jesus
Christ religion will not be made up of
creeds and denominations, but of simon
pure Christians, who preach the father
hood of God and the brotherhood of man,
and the same be told about in strong and
well edited class paper.

Apparently the P.-I. is correct and the
rich men of the United States are putting
up the cash to defray the expenses of the
present war 1t says John d. Rockefeller
pays $3S, 100000 income tax annually and
other rich men likewise put up for the
expenses of the war. 1t is reported that
ordinary millionaires before the war have
become highly bloated billionaires since the
war, all because they have been able to
sell the goods which their concerns con-
troled, at such enormous profits. Despite
the fact that Rockefeller pays $38 100000
income tax annually it is reported that he
still has left a $32, 100000 annual income
in the way of dividends from his holdings.
Gasolines, oils and their bi-products have
almost doubled in price since the war and
yet the cost Of production is but small
percentage higher than before the war.
Under such circumstances the rich can pay
their income tax and still be none the loser.
While the working men pay no income tax,
yet they have to pay for the increased cost
of living and that increase goes to the
millionaires which means that the working
men pay all Of the freight after all.
