Crushed Under Falling Wall

Walter Ulrich, son Of MIR. and
Mrs. Fred Ulrich, who reside
south of Big Stone City, was per
haps fatally injured and now lies
lowering between life and death
at the Lakeview Hospital in this
city as a result of being crushed
under a falling wall on the
streets of Big Stone City last
Tuesday.
Mr.. Ulrich and his son were
standing on the street near the
Big Stone City hall when the ac-
cidnt occurred. Mr.. Ulrich saw
the wall when it gave way and
called to his son to get away.
Walter was standing with his
back to the falling wall and be-
fore he realized what was hap
pening the wall was upon him
crushing him to the ground in
such a manner as to cause dis
location of the spinal column.
Inc wall was d IFOHv pOTClOll
of the structure erected between
the City Hall and the garage last
winter to provide room for the
midwinter picnic. Men were at
work tearing the structure down
and had removed the roof anC
rear end leaving the front wal
poorly fastened and gust OF
wind tore it loose wit hthe result
stated above.
Mr.. Ulrich was Immediately
brot to the Lakeview Hospital il
this city whre everything pos
sible is being done for him, bu
littl hope is entertained for hi
recovery.-Ortonville journal.

The Church Supper

Why is a church supper? A
family donates $3.50 worth of
grub or whereabouts then takes
the bunch to the supper and pays
more than this amount to buy it
back. 1t is double taxation with
out a doubt, and in addition there
is nerve tax for those who have
to prepare the meal. Altogether
it ought to be worth $500 to any
man to have his wife escape the
worry and strain of helping to
put in one of these suppers, but
the $500 is not Forthcoming and
the supper is. The woman has
control of the foodstuffs in her
home, but not always the pocket
book. This is one reason for the
church supper. Some day the
social feature is another reason
for it. 1t has been our observa-
ton that there is no sociability
about it, as the average person
eats and runs. There may be
socialibility in the kitchen where
the women meet to wash the
dishes and compare notes after
the affair is over. That is about
the only place. From a financial
standpoint the church supper is
a failure if you count the cost !;
from a social standpoint it is a
failure, but perhaps we will al
ways have it. Preparing and
serving food is a game for the
women, like pitching horseshoes
or something similar for men. 1t
is a sort of second nature for
them aid we presume as long as
they like to do it they will con-
tinue the custom but candidly,
the supper and ice cream method
of financing a church should be
dispensed with and men ought to
do as they did in the olden times
pay a percentage of their in
come for church purposes. The
supper and ice cream feature
should be purely a social affair
and should come under the head
of entertainment, rather than
? finance. A social affair planned
solely for this purpose would
have a chance of being success,
!, Men ought to get the habit OF
digging up occasionally without
being fed.-Rolfe Arrow.
