Highly Honored

Mrs. Floyd Newell has received a
copy of the Rushmore (Minn inter
prise which contains an article telling
of the honors bestowed upon Miss Ida
Grieg Rushmore was formerly the
home of Mrs. Newell and she knows
well the young lady. AT a meeting
recently held in Rushmore, Miss Grieg
was UNANIMOUSLY chosen sponsor to
christen the new battleship which is
to be named Mobiles after Mobiles
county, Mimi, the county in which
Rushmore is situated. Concerning the
matter the Enterprise says:
Mobiles county won this honor of
having ship named after it, because
of its success in the Fourth Liberty
Loan campaign; and Miss Greig was
given the honor of being its sponsor
because Of the distinctive service
rendered the government in this crisis
by her family She has four brothers
in the service, all of whom went over
seas, Ralph and Roy in the navy, and
Fred and Dan in the army. Her other
brother, Lester, tried to get into the
service, but was rejected. lie later
succeeded in getting into the National
Guard. Her brothers were all volunteer
soldiers, and she herself enlisted as 4
Red Cross nurse, although she was
not called into service.
Miss Greig's parents were Mobiles
county pioneers, having honlesteaded
in Olncy township in the early 70,s.
Miss Greig was born in Mobiles county
where she received her education anG
has lived all her life. She is gradu-
ate nCEse of no unusual ability and
her services are much sought after.
st is not yet known where she will
so or when she will be called to make
the notable trip to christen the new
ship, but when the proper time comes,
he government will notify her of the
appointed time and place, end she
will be accompanied By a proper dele
cation. This is an honor that does
not come to many young women, and
her numerous friends will rejoice with
her over this good fortune, even
though she takes it rather rlodestly.
CongT atulations, Miss G.eig, may your
trip be one OF pleasure and long to be
remembered.

L. w. Claude Declines to Be III,
Goat

A recent issue Of the Madison Jour-
nal contained a report OF the Warner
road hearing held in the capitol and
L. w. Claude, who is supposed to have
led the opposition as to locating the
road in the Claude woods, has made
a reply to the report His article in
the Journal reads as follows:
In the Monday evening edition Of
the State Journal, you have a commu-
nication under the heading Conduct
Hearing on Warner Road" l would
not trouble to reply to this were it
not for the fact that my name has
been particularly mentioned, evidently
by some person who either knows
nothing in regard to the matter, or
who wilfully misrepresents the facts.
The argument does center about the
location of the-road through the Devils
Lake Park, in so far your correspond
ent is correct; but the description of
the road proposed by the Conservation
CD Commission being planned to fol-
low an old logging, or any other kind
of a road, is entirely untrue, and the
construction and use of such road
viii destroy a very beautiful piece of
natural woodland.
The further implied reason for my
objection is that the proposed road
runs near the Claude Estate" said
ESTATE" consisting of one acre held
by my mother and sister during their
life time AS there are other roads as
near the ESTATE" as the one contem-
plated this would hardly make mat
tiers worse than at present.
Also it is not probable that ''the
others mentioned, among whom were
Messrs. John M. Olin, Ernest N. War
ner, DR.. L. r. Head and Prof Sharp
and Prof Byrne, could be readily
caused to take the same view of the
matter as mine unless they could see
some reason for it.
Another Misstatement is made when
your correspondent says the. 'Proce-
dure'' by tho (Warner) heirs has
made prompt action necessary as a
matter of fact no procedure by the
Warner heirs has been made
The facts of the case are that the
bill appropriating $20,000.00 to enable
the Baraboo people to complete the
Warner road was railroaded through
the legislature under suspension of
rules at the behest of certain inter-
ested persons who knew that if
the matter was once placed in the
hands the Conservation Commission
If would he in hands very friendly tn
them.
No: decline to be the goat. I de-
cline to accept the role of oppressor
of the gentle automobiles. This is
purely a case of Baraboo interests VS..
the interests of the people of the
State of Wisconsin in a State Park,
and not of the Common People VS..

Henry LudWig, Baraboo, contributes
two articles from the Wisconsin Agri-
culturist on daylight saving as fol
lows:
TURNING THE CLOCK AHEAD

Of law.
It no doubt works well for city PEG
pie who can leave their work early
and have part of the afternoon for a
good time, but if they had 20 put il
about sixteen hours day working as
we farmers do we do not think they
would favor it.
The law is. harmful to farmers
when a farmer has to send his chill
dren two miles to school. they have
to get away too early in TIE morn
ing, and l do not believe that any
one can be forced to obey this law.
I do not see how they can change the
time when they cannot change The sun.
There is one clock that will not be
changed and we farmers are going to
stick together and work to have this
law repealed.
JOE DVORAK.

In regard to the daylight saving
law, | think one of the best ways to
get the United States Senate to take
notice is to first make our wishes
known; then if it is of no avail when

citous than to have Professor Edward
S Corwin write OF John Marshall and
the CONSTITUTIONS; or Professor Fred
eric Austin Ogg depict and explicate
The Reign of Andrew Jackson"; or to
have Miss Constance Lindsay Skinner
address her rare endowments as poet
romance writer and historian to the
poetic, romantic and yet tremendously
serious history of what in the
eighteenth century was the great
Southwest
Despite this diversity of authorship,
however, there is throughout the
series a noteworthy unity, or perhaps
we should rather say harmony, of style
as well as of purpose. The style
varies with the writer and with the
theme: but it always retains the domi-
nant characteristics of lucidity and
directness. and the obvious and sue
ccssfui purpose of making the aver
age reader. who has not hitherto been
a profound student of history. not
only TO know what has happened in
his country but also to know how
and why it happened and perhaps
most important of all, to form a sane
and profitable judgment as to what,
because Of the events and processes
OF the past, should be his personal
dttlJude as cltlZen toward the affairs
of the present and the future. This
unity, throughout so many volumes
by 50 many authors. appears to be
attained not by any Rhadamanthine
autocracy of the editor of the series,
who, on the contrary has given the
writer's a very free hand, but rather
through initial unity of clear concep-
tion of the aim and object of the
series and loyal teamwork" in the full
filment thereof
1t is characteristic Of the series that
its fifty volumes are not being issued
consecutivcly. They appear in groups
of ten, with scattered numbers. Thus
the ten before us include the first
and the fftieth volumes. In this there
IS, of course. no incongruity, any
more than there is in the readers
wanting to-day to refresh his memory
OF pre- Col lumban conditions and to-
morrow wishing to review our cpl
sode of 'watchful waiting" upon
Huerta and Pancho Villa. Indeed,
there IS a great advantage in it, since
1t enables us now to read at least
two volumes relating directly to cur
rent events and conditions and to the
great problems with which the nation
even now is graphing. 1t is pleasant
to repeat that the material dress of
these volumes is as much a delight
to the eye and hand as their contents
are to the mind, making the series in
all respects one of the most praise
worthy undertakings of recent years
in American literature.
