MARRIED rs YEARS

December Ia marks the twenty
fifth wedding anniversary of Mr.. and
Mrs. David Anderson, prominent resi-
dents Of Hartland and on Saturday
their beautiful home was the scene
of most pleasant event, when fifty
six relatives and friends gathered
there and rendered them happy sur
prise. The affair had been arranged
by their children and they were un-
aware of what was in store for them
until their return from services.
At two o'clock sumptuous two
course dinner was served. A huge
wedding bell hung over the center OF
the dinning-room and white streamers
were stretched in canopy effect. A
pretty bouquet of flowers and sprays
of green were prettily arranged on
the tables as a center-piece. Follow
ing the dinner Rev. c. C. Roth of st.
Paul's English Lutheran church gave
a short talk on and on behalf of the
guests presented the couple with a
beautiful chest of silver. The best
of good wishes were bestowed upon
Mr. and Mrs. Anderson for much
happiness and comfort in years to
come.
Mr.. and Mrs. Anderson were united
in marriage at the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. C. G. Anderson in Red Wing
twenty-five years ago. Rev. G. A.
Rast performed the ceremony. They
have seven children all of whom
were present at the reunion and we'd
ding anniversary festivities.-Ells-

Every group, concerned with the
reimbursement of Wisconsin's agricul-
tural and allied industries to present
day conditions, will be represented
in the Observation-Disclosures Confer
ence" to be held in Madison February
l to 10. Every organization of state
wide scope is being invited to partic-
ipate in the convention. The subjects
to be considered in the course of the
conference include possible legisla-
ton to make credit more readily av-
ailable to the farmers, means of i'm
proving the transportation facilities
of the state, and other problems OF
interest to the consumer and produc-
err. Out of this program it is plan
ned to develop a state agricultural
policy. The man in America who
knows most about world food condi-
lions and world markets for raw
products, outside Herbert Hoover, is
DR.. Alonzo E. Taylor. He will be at
the conference to give the informa-
ton he has collected. Begin planning
now as we want a delegation from

Next Dance Monday, Jan. 3
Out Of difference to members OF

had planned to hold our New Years
dance on New Years eve, arrange

feet. On Wednesday, however, we
received a letter calling our atten-
ton to certain facts of which we had
not been cognizant. TIE letter stat
ed among other things that the Fri
day before New Years vas still Ad-
vent for Catholics and that they
should not dance at that time, and
that as New Years night came on
Saturday it would be impossible for
them to dance later than midnight
if the dance were held on that night
We would not consider holding a
dance on Saturday evening in any
event. As to the correctness of the
above statements we are not prepar-

that the writer had some grounds for
making them. We have decided

A REAL CHRISTMAS PRESENT

The holiday season with its joys
and it's problems is upon US. What
shall we do to add to the happiness of
the occasion? Each one of US would
like not only to wish our friends a
Merry Christmas and Happy New
Year, to give them one. We cannot
do this by means of ill-considered
presents. Thoughtless gifts cause the
January ash can to bulge with debris.
Only when our gifts have lasting
meaning do they carry the true mes
sage of good will which is the spirit
of real giving.
We can give happiness and con-
tentment and safety for the future as
well as pleasure for the moment.
Such gifts are within reach of all.
They are to be found in the saving
Securities of the United States gov
eminent. From the 25 cents Thrift
Stamp to the 81 900 Treasury Savings
Certificate, they will carry with them
not only the greetings of the season
but happiness for years to come. In
presenting the child card with one
thrift stamp affixed, you bestow not
only a present but habit which will
grow in value as the days pass, for
| he will wish to fill the card. That
little gift will have grown wonderfully
before another Christmas comes
around, and the recipient vii be on the
way to life of independence.
In recommending these lasting gifts,
the Saving Division of the Treasury
does not suggest that single Ameri-
can curtail his Christmas giving. 1t
suggests only that he broaden it to in
clude this present which will bring
future we'll being to those he loves.
Thrift Stamps, Savings Stamps and
Treasury Savings Certificate will be
on sale throughout the year 1921. In
continuing the sale Of Government
Savings Securities the Government is
giving the opportunity to every man
woman and child in the land through
the coming year to enjoy the hap
piness, prosperity and contentment
which is found in financial independ-
ence and security for the furture..

SITUATION CAUSE OF CONCERN
s TO UNCLE SAM.

Washington ID. c., Dec. 2.--Cu-
ba's affairs are in such chaotic
state, politically, financially. and in
dustria1ly, chat the United States
government finds itself confronted
with the task OF bringing about bet
terment Of conditions in the per-
turbed island In order to obyiate
military Intervention Every effort
of this government is being directed
to staying the necessity for taking
physical control, but the situation
lis complicated and is causing much
concern.
Intervention would be undertaken
only as a last resort. Although
general elections. were held in Cuba
on November / month ago to-
morrow the outcome is still IN
doubt, due to the nonreceipt of elec-
tion returns from many precincts or
colleges" as they are called in Cuba
and to charges and countercharges
OF fraud and intimidation.
The financial condition Of Cuba
Is even worse than the political.
Various proposals Of plans to bring
out financial betterment have been
vetoed BY the United States under
the authority vested In II by the
Platt amendment, which is part
of the Cuban constitution An earn
est effort is now being made to save
Cuba from financial disaster and
there is strong hope that it will be
successful, and thus lessen the dan
ger of American Intervention.
In connection with the state Of
affairs in Cuba, it has become known
that the United States government
has IN contemplation sending Maj.
Gen. Enoch H Crowder. the Judge
advocate general Of the army, to the
island on diplomatic mission de-
signed to bring the interests OF Cuba
and the United States into closer as
ISOLATION and lay the foundation for
better political and financial condi-
tions in that county The idea be-
hind the consideration OF Gen, Crow
der for this mission is that he might
ultimately be designated as Ameri-
can minister to. Cuba. He has re-
newed his application for retirement
from active military service, and
when this is granted he will be Ia
q position to accept q civilian Of
