CONFERENCE
CONTINUED from Page II

| its own forward movement organ
/ lied and differed The Interchurch
| World Movement is the clearing house
| for all these.
1t is the agency which the churches
have created to avoid duplication to
foster cooperation and make sure that
| every man and dollar render the ut
most service possible
The month of April has been devoted
to making the facts of the survey known
to America: in the week of April %
May will come united simultaneous
financial campaign.
To every man and every woman who
loves his country, these 1000 county
conferences have vital Importance
For the facts developed by this great
survey are showing wildly what forces
are at work in America what kind
OF a country this country is to be.
The Interchurch World Movement
is evidence that business men are real
iZing what business owes to Christ, and
in the name of Him the Protestant
churches of North America make the
following appeal
Men thought Jesus Christ dreamer
when He said ia mystic. wholly i'm
practical.
And whatsoever will he chief among
YOU He said, Let him be your SER
want"
To become great by becoming a SER
surd? Look at the great businesses
Of America. On what foundation are
they built? When they bespeak the
good will of the public what do they
say about themselves?
Our motto is service. Not our
plants or money or craftsmanship are
responsible for our success. We have
made ourselves efficient servants to
your health and comfort and happiness.
and your patronage has made us great"
The idea of service was brought into
the world by Him: and on that idea
modern business was built
TO keep the idea of service vital and
effective in the nation today: to train
up the nations children in it's spirit
TO carry its message around the world
these are the purposes of the Protest
ant churches of North America leagued
together in the Interchurch World
Movement
The Interchurch World Movement is
the greatest cooperative church pro-
gram ever undertaken. The feet of
the movement are planted on the solid
ground of scientific surveys, its head
is lifted high enough to get a vision of
the whole world afield. Its purpose is
TO encourage cooperation and diScOur-
age duplication to make every man
and every COLLAR do their utmost in the
service of Jesus Christ
AS a business man, the scope and mag
nitude of this vast enterprise must
stir your Imagination surely it's pul-
pose and ideals will enlist your sup
port.
You. who have erected your bust
nesses on the service idea which He
gave yOu-yOu are the hope of the
church and the church is the hope of
the world
Do your part to make the church a
more effective servant. When your
church calls upon you give-and give
from your heart as well as from your
pOcketbOOk.

"REMINISCENCES

The venerable Frank Brainerd, who
still considers himself young III spite
of his eighty odd years, was in the city
Monday from the Chippewa. He was
inquiring where he could buy good
secondhand typewriter; said he would
prefer to use one instead of a pen.
Though he has never had any expert
enee operating mechanical writer,
he thinks he can soon learn to. His
work in his younger days was largely
handling SawlOgs. SiXty-three years
ago this month he was engaged III phi
ing up logs and burning them on the
'.Flambeau farm" 16 miles southeast
of the site of Ladysmith, when the
Daniel Shaw Lumber Co. started to
clear his farm, which has since ac-
quired considerable fame as an agrl-
cultural estate in this part OF the coun-
try. Mr.. Brainerd said that if it had
not been for the State of Mainers-he
was born in Maine-the world war
would be going on yet.

hington-Indication of world
wide shortage of wheat this year and
a worldwide increase indemand, was
reported by the American agricultural
trade commissioner at London, who
said bread was selling in England at
what was generally considered the
highest price the working man would
tolerate without grave disorders.
With Russia still in a chaotic state,
there is little to be expected from that
country in the way of wheat exports.
and Europe naturally turns to the
United States, Canada, Australia, In
dia and Argentina Some European
countries will be compelled to import
much larger quantities of wheat than
in pre- war times, provided they are
able to manage satisfactory credits,
the reports said.

George Heaverin. of ApOllOnia. isn't
much of a fellow to indulge in vain re-
grets. but it is easy to see that he
would be in a happier frame OF mind
today if ApOllOnia was the present
county seat of Rusk county. George
has spent seventy years in Wisconsin,
coming to this state from Louisville,
Kentucky, near which place he was
born. Twenty-nine years he has passed
along Chippewa waters, i'll Chippewa
and RuSk counties. Two years before
Rusk county was created the time was
ripe, he said, for splitting old Chippewa
and creating new one from its
northern part with ApOllOnia as the
county seat. He and the late Emory
Hill Matched a plan at that time TO
execute the dividing process through
the legislature as was done later by
others. They needed the assistance OF
the late Frank Stevens. then a power
in northern Chippewa. Stevens couldn't
see it the way they did and would not
enter into it: so the matter laid
dormant until other men with other
interests took the matter up and after
a bitter fight in the legislature and
the courts the new county was
put on the map. For two years it car
ried the name of Gates, but the legis-
lature changed it to Rusk in honor OF
Jeremiah NJ. Rusk, former governor
of Wisconsin.

we'll he worth 100000 now, as any other
sum. if Stevens had seen the project as
Hill and he did.

Mike Early is the only fisherman we

tcen-pound muscallonge and did not
know it for a half hour afterward.
With pal he was trolling between the
John Jez place in Ladysmith and the
Port Arthur dam. Along about oppo-
site True's pine grove he thought the
bait was pulling rather strong, but did
not investigate as there was no flop
ping or splashing in the water. At
Richards farm they stopped for drink

There was a fOur-fOOt muskie on the
hook and it was deader than mack

that wasn't this season.
