other nine piled upon mattress lying
upon the floor, huddled together to
keep from freezing. A sort of fire had
been kept going with corn a small
stock being on hand. There was no

house, which was little more than a
howell. When the doctor arrived he was

Preparations are being made for a
series of Father and Son hanQuetS
throughout the county, the week Of
February IL to II is national Father
and Son week. County Secretary Dins-
more is cooperating with the schools
and churchs in putting on banquet in
every city and village in the county,
and also in a number of rural districts.
The general idea is to create a spirit of
comradeship between boys and men. A
program will be rendered at each such
banquet and an evening enjoyment and
fellowship will be the result. Look for
the placards giving the date of the
banquet. Further information may be
had from the County Treasurer, c.. H.
Dinsmore, Reedsburg, Wisconsin.
Every father and every man interested
in boys and future citizenship should
not let this opportunity go ~.
