REV. EVANS SPEAKS ON
ACHIEVEMENTS AT
LAWRENCE

Rev. Richard Evans, pastor of the
M. Il. church, spoke at the commence
ment exercises at Lawrence College
appleton, the middle of last week on
AchieVements in twenty-five Years,
Lawrence college, according to Rev.
Evans, has more than trebled its en-
rollment and has increased the value
or its buildings and it's endowment
fund FROM $4,000 to $1,1OO,OOO. The
president, Samuel Plantz, has been
connected with the institution for
twenty-five years and much credit was
bestowed upon him for the remarkable
advancement of the institution.
The historical record of the past
twenty-five years sets forth steady ac-
qulrement of endowment funds, fire.
quent erection of new buildings, ac-
qulsitions of scholarships, growth of
1raternities and student clubs, and
frequent recognition of the school by
learned societies." declared Rev.
Evans, who graduated from the college
in 1899.
Lawrence college is today a monu-
ment to the energy, devotion and the
commanding ability of Samuel Plantz:
but these buildings and grounds with
the equipment of the school, are only
the means-they are nothing related to
the end which is the advancement of
human life and human ideas"
Rev. Evans received the honorary
degree of Doctor of Divinity during
the exercises at Lawrence college.

POTATO WART DISEASE is
DANGEROUS

The United States department of ag-
riculture has urged every grower of
Irish potatoes to watch carefully for
any trace of the wart disease, making
especially particular observances
when the potatoes are dug. In 1911
many potatoes were imported into the
coal mining region of Pennsylvania
and there the disease was introduced.
Later many bushels were distributed
throughout the country and many Sec
tions have therefore, been exposed to
the potato wart. If the wart were to
become an actuality in a number of
districts, millions of dollars would be
lost, for the wart practically destroys
the food value of the spud. The dis
ease, once gaining hold in any por-
tion of ground, will remain there for
years during which time it is unsafe
to plant potatoes. All that can be
done is to work against its spread.
Characteristic of the disease; under
ground portions of plant covered by
warty, cauliflower-like and spongy
growths while infection gains head
way in the eyes and attains walnut
size.

DO YOUR SHOES HURT?

How so many women whose work
compels them to stand or walk for
several hours a day are able to wear
the awful shoes they do is a mystery
to all. 1t is doubtful if many men
would have the physical strength to
stand the strain. Perhaps, however,
it is vanity and muscle training rather
than natural endurance that enable
the so-called weaker sex to do the
trick.
waitress behind one of Milwau-
KEGS busiest lunch counters has a
pair so badly balanced high heeled
shoes that the marvel is that she does
not sprain her ankles as she rushes
back and forth. Her walk looks more
like that OF circus performer doing a
balancing act ON a slack rope than
anything else we can compare it with.
Her back legs must ache frightfully
at night but she probably charges this
against the hard work she does rather
than the ugly and ridiculous shoes

WISCONSIN SETS PACE IN
RURAL HEALTH WORK
Is One of Few States Having Re.
sources of Training Young Women
for Large Field of Service
OFFERS SCHOLARSHIPS

Through the recent action of its
Legislature in adopting a law making
it mandatory for every county in the
state to employ a registered graduate
public health nurse or trained health
instructor and through its existing re-
sources for training workers to fill
these and similar positions, Wisconsin
is taking a unique potion of leader
ship in the national movement for bet
ter health resources and especially in
the campaign for better health protec-
tion of rural communities.
Wisconsin is one of the comparative
ly few states in the union in which a
training course for public health nurs-
es is conducted. Its four months
course, given twice yearly under the
direction of the Wisconsin Anti-Tu-
berculosis association, is one of four
teen courses in the United States rec
ogniZed by the American Red Cross
in its awarding of public health nurs-
ing scholarships. The association also
conducts a special six weeks summer
course for nurses who have already
had some public health experience,
this course beginning July Z.
1t is the first state to pass a law
making it compulsory for every coun-
ty in the state to employ either a
public health nurse or a health in
structor
To Wisconsin and its state anti
tuberculosis association also goes the
credit of originating the first course
for the training of health instructors

rounded by a high barb wire fence,

was signed, Mr.. Shatto was ordered
with his regiment to prepare for a

getting ready to assist in the advance
on Metz which was contemplated. The
signing of the armistice prevented this.
In the Alsace region the 313th En-

United States from ST. Nazaire, on the

In Minstrel Show
During the spring, Mr.. Shatto was
member OF the minstrel show of the
3l3th Engineers, composed of thirty
men, and this gave him the opportun-
ity to travel through much of north
ern France, Belgium, Luxembourg and
into Germany to Trier and Coblenz.
Luxembourg he says, is beautiful and
as prosperous country as one could
imagine, there being forty-eight steel
mills in its small territory. The Ger
mans, he declares, are exceedingly
polite, hoping to win the favor of
American soldiers, and raise their
hats and oftentimes salute when
Americans pass. In Belgium, apple
and plum orchards have been cut
down and the beautiful trees along
canals sawed, in many cases strewn
along the road to rot. "It pleases and
tickles the French people to see all of
the German prisoners now in France
working cleaning up their dirty work.
On the backs of the Green uniforms is
painted, Pc (prisoner of war
French) and the men are filling
trenches, clearing away barb wire en-
tanglements, repairing roads and do
ing all kinds of reconstruction work"
Mr.. Shatto acted as an Interpreter in
his company, being able to speak
French fiuently. Edmund Kragen-
Drink, OF Wausau, who went into the
service in N. Dakota, was with Mr..
Shatto throughout his service in
France and the two were great friends.

curing reasonable bids for the outlay
of $4,000 to be spent in improving

OF Portage county has been authorized
to do the work. The operations will
start this week at the Marathon coun-

money will permit, which it is es-
timated will be about six miles. The
road will be disentegrated granite, fif-
teen feet wide. AS contract has been
given by this county for eight miles
north from the Marathon county line
on the Stevens Point Wausau road,
it looks as if the two cities were to
be connected by first class highway.
This is the oldest travelled road in the

POKED WITH BAYONET THEN WANT
TO SHAKE HANDS, SAYS
EDSON SHATTO

"Hordes of prisoners held in Ger
many of all the allied countries,
France, Belgium, England, Italy and
the United States, were released from
Germany, directly after the armistice
was signed Edison Shatto, 313th En-
gineers, SSth Division, told a Pilot
reporter on his return to Wausau,
Wednesday, after serving in France
for ten months. "These men were
haggard, half starved, half clothed,
and frantically happy to return to
France; they came along, some with
canes.and others leaning on crutches
"a pitiful looking crowd. And after
being showed about on bayonet points
and beaten with clubs, dozens of these
released prisoners told us how, Just
before they had left, the German
guards had offered them their hands,
in itself showing their deceit.
Zone of the men told me that had
it not been for the trouble it might
cause he would have hit the proferer.
but instead, he just spit on his palm.

mad received only soup, which was
made OF meat cut in small squares,
water, pepper and salt, and bowl
containing one piece of meat of which
was given to man, and a small piece
of black bread"
Following the signing of the armis-
tice, Mr.. Shatto was at Pont Nous
son, where a railroad of 16 kilometers
was built to Metz in 16 hours, for
which his regiment received both an
American and a French citation. I'm
mediately he says, hundreds of pris-
oners were returned to the allies, the
trains carrying provisions into that
city and bringing back troops. Many
OF the prisoners were unable to walk
and required the nourishment before
they could be taken, onto the train.
Praises Army
'The Salvation Army is the finest Or
ganizatiOn l know Of" Mr.. ShattO saws.
''lt did more for me over there than
any other one thing. Right i'm the
front lines when the armistice was
signed there was Salvation Army
man who set up his post i'm the open,
made an immepse pitcher of coffee and
served dOughnuts to the men who were
casuals or who had lost their units
and were wondering about aimIessly." ;"
Mr.. Shatto enlisted in February,
1918 at Minneapolis, and went overseas
