BISHOP WEBB
AT LOCAL CHUCH

Bishop w. w. Webb held services at
Trinity Episcopal church on Sunday.
This was confirmation day and he
said that he had taken into the church
about 10000 in this diocese. He laid
particular stress on the work of the
Sunday school and the influence of the
children while young. Given the guild
ance of the children until they are ten
and they will be the rulers of the ma
tion. The Sunday school is the nursery
of the church.
He regretted there was no religion
taught in the schools and believed in
the program being followed at Gary,
one hour for religious teaching, due
credit being given. He hoped this
would be followed in all schools. The
school maintains the gymnasium to
train the childs body, the curriculum
for his intellect but nothing for his
soul.

Attorney John M. Kelley of Baraboo
owner of the wonderful milk produc
ing heifer of which the readers of this
paper have been told about, attended
a meeting in Philadelphia last week,
and all of the papers of that city have
given much space to his address. The
Philadelphia Ledger says:
"While booze is going out the back
door. loads and loads of milk ought to
be brought into the 'front.'" said John
M. Kelley, breeder of Holstein-Friesian

tending the convention at the Bellevue

"But folks won't use milk any more
than they have in the past, unless the
value of milk as a refreshing drink
and a food has been insistently and
consistently advertised. With the prop
er education of the public, pure ice
cold milk, unmixed with flavor will
displace any drink on the market.
"OnIy there must be a great adver-

other beverages, soft drinks. and near

beverage has, besides the virtue of re-
freshing heated bodies, powerful
health-giving property. Name me a
drink that has more right to use the
health-giving property for advertise
ment than plain, pure milk. All the
doctors and dietitians agree to that.
And yet the dairymen have neglected
to advertise upon that basis.
'He has advertised carefully enough,
however. his champion bulls and his
record, breaking cows. And you know
as well as / do that a high-priced bull

only as the bull or COW increases the
production Of milk. Yet the dairyman
will continue to advertise his bull and
neglect TO advertise his milk. And If
he doesn't advertise his milk SO that
more people will use milk and more OF
it, what is the sense of advertising the
bulls and cows for breeding purposes
in order to increase the production OF
milk?

CHILDREN'S DAY AT
EMANUEL EV. CHURCH

A we'll prepared program was given
at the new Evangelical church. The
decorations were not elaborate, but
when the flower drills were given the
effect was most beautiful and impress
sive. This was the first exercise of its
kind in the new church edit1ce, and
the large appreciative audience would
twice have filled the old church. The
children's response to the efforts OF the
faithful workers was most apparent TO
all true observers. What host OF
little folks they are! A contest was on
for the several Sunday school classes
in the endeavor of bringing the largest
Offering for the missionary cause.
While a class of girls believe they nave
won the banner, the boys still thlnk
that their class room will be graced
with the new award. In the meantime
the entire Sunday school will await
with interest the announcement next
Sunday to see who gets the banner.

VALECIA MEN
NOT TO FIGHT
CASE FURTHER?
Federal Officials Thinb Convicted
Oaici.'.. ,iea1 SOC r When

That the former Valecia Condensed
Milk Co. officers, convicted OF fraud
ulent stock sales, will accept the decl
sion of the Chicago district court OF
appeals sustaining the sentence CT
Judge Lands in 1917, announced Sat
urday at Madison, with no further at
temps to delay the prison terms, Is
the prediction of federal officers. The
two men, M. A. Fee of Madison and
C. F. Christianson of Chicago, have 81
days in which to file petitions for a
rehearing of the case or appeal to the
United States supreme court.
According to the information OF the
federal agents the main opposition in
the case came from F. l.. Aason, who
was a salesman, and whose firm, it is
understood, backed him up financially
in his fight for a reversal OF the YER
dict. Mr.. Eason, however, was killed
by a street car in Detroit last winter
and thus his name drops automatically
from the case.

PORTAGE. GIRL
LOSES One EYE
Mary Eulberg, S, Injured When
Lynn Gunderson, a Tosses Stick
in Her Direction

When Lynn Gunderson, age four
years, playfully tossed broken stick
toward little Mary Eulberg, age five
years, Saturday evening at Portage,
he little realized that it would cost
his playmate one of her beautiful dark
brown eyes.
The unexpected happened, however,
as it frequently does. The children
were playing near the home of ],
N Eulberg, father of the unfortunate
child, when the accident occurred.
Lynn broke a stick in two and tossed
the pieces in Mary's direction, toward
the street. AS fate would have it, the
sharp point of one piece made direct
line toward Mary's right eye and
pierced it so deeply that the fluid of
eye was released, binding it for
ever. One of the greatest eye spe-
cialists of Milwaukee was hurried to
Portage Saturday night and an opera
ton was performed. The sight is
gone, but the eyeball may be saved.
To make the affair the more sad.
the little Eulberg girl had two most
beautiful brown eyes. The accident
was purely unintentional and little
Lynn is heartbroken over it.

Love Married Men.

Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee:
We are two girls of Ewing, Neb.,
who have been reading your good
advice to the lovelorn, and now that
we are in trouble, come to you for
advice.
What would you advise two girls
to do who are deeply in love with
two married men? These men do
not love their wives, but we know
they love us; they have proven this.
And say, Miss Fairfax, is it all right
to accept gifts from them, such as
candy and flowers? Please answer
and give us your best advice, as we
are at a loss what to do. We feel
that we cannot give these men up.
We have never gone any place with
them yet. We are awaiting your
answer. r. w. and L. j.
would advise two girls who ars
deeply in love with two married men
to forget it right quick-most dan
gerous state Of mind. They are
probably unprincipled scoundrels or
they would not be making love to
you. And remember this: Every
man who is unfaithful will tell the
other girl that he is unhappy at
home and try to place the blame on
the shoulders of the wife whose
heart he is breaking How do you
know they love you? Don't be too
sure, for I do not believe it. They
have proven their love. perhaps, by
running your future. Most certainly
you should not accept gifts from
them. oh, yes! You can give them
up. These affairs are like bilious
attacks-you see green and yellow
for q while and then your sight
clears up and the world is natural
again.
