GOOD SLEIGHING

The sleighing in Marathon county
was never better than it is at the
present time. The Pilot has often said
that II good, permanent sleighing
would only come the first of Decem-
Der, 1t would mean that our citizens
would want for nothing, and our mer-
chants would thrive immensely. When
1t Is first class sleighing farmers will
bring in wood, hay and produce Of
all kinds from distance of TWENTY
five or thirty miles. Every day the
past week loads of wood, hay. bark
logs, and live stock were coming into
the city from every part of the county
With roads in their present condition
1t is an easy matter to bring in two
CORDS OF four-foot hardwood at load
II sleighing keeps up as good as il
IS at present until the 1st of March
1t will prove of incalculable benefit
TO everybody.

THE FATHFRLESs CHILDREN OF
FRANCE

The "Fatherless Children of France"
is the organization through which the
people of America are enabled to show
their gratitude to France by caring
for the children whose fathers have
been killed in the war.
Marshall Joffre is the active presl-
dent of the society in France. He
whom they lovingly call Papa Joffre''
thus becomes the guardian OF his sol
dier's orphans, and fathers them all
The society has committees IN every
precinct of every town of France, and
through this system OF committees
working together, the funds are adj
ministered with the utmost care and
personal supervision.
Since the twenty-fifth of October,
Madison has had a branch committee
of the Fatherless Children of France.
1t is the only committee in the state
and one of the youngest in the country
1t has raised five thousand dollars in
the two months of it's existence, every
cent of which goes to the support OF
destitute children of soldiers, provid-
ing their mothers with ten cents day
in addition to the ten cents provided
ny Tie rISHCA 5OfCi III OA0Oh
that they may raise and educate the
children under their fathers roof. The
association of the Madison committee
are Mrs. G. G. Comstock, chairman
Mrs. Karl Young, vice chairman; Mr.
Charles N. Brown, treasurer; Mrs. M
S. Slaughter, secretary; Mr.. j. M
Boyd, Mr.. Barry Cert, Mrs. G. B. Chap
man, Mrs. G. M. Fiske, Mrs. H. S
Johnson, Mrs. j. Craik Morris, Mrs
B. w. Snow The work has been en-
dorsed by the State Council of De-
tense, and plans are on foot for car
rying it on throughout the state.
The money has come from individ-
ual subscr ptions of thirty-six dol
lars and fifty cents. a year for the adop-
ton of an orphan, from the proceeds Of
bazaar held in Guild hall on Octo-
Der 81 and November l from Melting
Pot which was originally part of the
bazaar, from the War Relief shop, from
the sale of Christmas cards, from the
Students War Work council, and from
the Yuletide festival in the University
armory. Many subscriptions have beer
made by groups of people, clubs ant
classes, teachers, guilds and schools
Some of the orphans have been adopt
ed in other towns than Madison
through the Madison committee.
Whenever a child is adopted with
committee funds, it is desirable to as
sign that child to some person who
will receive letters and write then
(either French or English,) send {
small present now and then, and Sc
take a personal interest in the chile
since this is a very important par
of the work. Any one who desires tt
help the committee to that extent is
requested to send name and address
to the secretary, Mrs. M. S. Slaughter

COLD IN THE SOUTH

A letter from Chas L. Slosson from
Helena, Ark, says they are experience
ing the coolest weather there ever
known. Mercury dropped to ten be-
low zero and freezing weather for
two weeks. The river is full of ice
and boats cannot run. Everybody is
out of coal. You people up there
cannot imagine the meaning of ten
below in this country to the poor
people. Nearly all of our manufac-
tories are closed for want of COAL We
have six inches of snow on the
ground"
Mr.. Slosson made his home in Wau-
sau until few years ago and has
been coming up to his old stamping
ground in the summer season to cool
off. The reports are that the same
conditions prevail throughout the
south.

HOME SUNSHINE

"'Tis well to speak in kindly guise,
And Soothe where'er we can;
Fair speech should bind the human heart,
And love link man to man.
Bul stop not at the gentle words;
Let deeds with language dwell,
For he who ptieS starving birds
Should scatter crumbs as we'll.
The mercy that is warm and true
Should lend helping hand;
And they that talk yet fail to do
But build upon the sand'' Selected
The call for help for the Armenians
is one that must find an echo in every
heart that considers the needs and sor-
rows of others, especially as the ma
jority of these helpless ones are chill
dren.
Have you ever stopped to think
that you might have been born
an Armenian instead of an American !
Or that it might have been your fate
to be in the war zone and to suffer
all those things we do not realize
because we are not face to face with
them?
Did your little child ever come in
from his play saying in plaintive
tone, 'Me so hungry" Maybe the din
ner was late, waiting for papa, or for
the washing or ironing to be finished
and soon the little head dropped and
he fell into a troubled sleep. Then
you reproached yourself and resolved
that should not happen again.
Then, what of the thousands of lit
tie children VINO never have an appe-
thing meal, who grew weak and pale
and soon loathe the coarse food, until
they reach a stage where even milk
cannot be retained on the stomach.
But they will be saved! Many of
them now. We hear that money is be-
ing paid in so fast that it cannot be
receipted promptly. Many who
thought they had no more to give,
have found way. We hear that Turk
ish officials will work for the safe
arrival of goods and funds. Many
Turkish children are among the needy
ones. Is it not possible that this
demonstration of the generosity and
good will of our government may be
potent factor in bringing about
world peace? ].
