clergy quit the pulpit for other work ?"
1t is an unfortunate condition when
clergymen cannot make both ends
meet. The world has need of every
good and earnest clergyman. In these
days of turmoil everyone who has not
learned to commune within and set nm
barrier against the ragings of the
world, needs to be taken into a quiet
and solemn house of God and given a
good talk; or better still, given a sol
emn individual lecture by some worthy
and able man of God. But it seems to
the writer that our customs have led
us away from instead of to the
churches. We have had too many
churches and too many Intellectual
preachers, and we have been too free;
we, many Of us. have lost that respect
for the church which Individually we
should have, and the preachers have to
go out and toll in other vocations for
sustenance. With half the present

TO CONSIDER
FARM PROBLEM
Dean H. L. RusseI Ennumerates
Some of the Questions Agricul-
turist Must Consider

The agriculturist must. consider a
number of things is the adjustment
which will be in the foreground during
1921 as it has been in 1920. Dean H.
L.. Russell of the College of Agricul-
ture at Madison, enumerates some of
the things to be considered, among
them being: =:
1. Stay in Business.
-Farsighted farmers recognize that
this is not time to quit and will keep
right on doing the job that they best
know how to do, and raising the crops
and products for which their farms
are best adapted Farming is a long
time proposition. One cannot hope to
attain success by changing his busi-
ness at every turn in the tide. Better
methods will win.
g. Improve Production.
This is no time to follow the major
Iity and become discouraged. Instead
it is the time to build up production
by buying better things at low prices.
Build on low prices.
3. Secure Better Farm Credits.
Many Wisconsin farmers need two
kinds of credit, long time and short
time loans at reasonable rates and up
on fair terms. Finance agriculture for
prosperity. .t5
4. More Complete Storage Facilities.
Many marketing ills are due to
dumping of prodBcts at harvest time,
when prices are generally the lowest.
More and better storage would enable
producers to eliminate much specula-
ton and obtain better prices. Feed
the market gradually-don' dump
5. Bring Markets Nearer.
Transportation has an important
bearing nfarm prices. World supply
influences many Wisconsin farm pro-
duct prices-a Great Lakes waterway
will move Wisconsin to the seaboard.
s. Hear the Pioneer Call.
Driven by industrial unrest, labor
turns to the unclaimed farms in the
cut-over districts of Upper Wisconsin.
Make farm and home for your
family.
Z. Market Changes.
Bring the consumer and producer
nearer together.
From February / to 10 there will
be a together-conference at Madi-
son to consider some of the above
questions.

Governor Decides From Facts Civ
en- That Pauline Pillman May
Remain With Mother
FIGHT FOR GIRL GOES
BACK FOR FOUR YEARS
Father Declares That Mother Kid
naped Daughter After Former
Was Awarded Custody

With Gov. Emanuel Philip standing
by with tear-filled eyes, little Pauline
Pillman, 6 years old, rushed into the
arms Of her mother, Mrs. Gladys Pill
man Crocker, in the executive cham
bers at Madison Wednesday happy in
the knowledge that she was going
to stay with "mumsy" for keeps"
The dramatic scene was enacted
just after the governor denied the APP
plication of the state Of Indiana ana
A. o. Pillman father of the child,
for the return of Pauline to Pillman
and his second wife, and the extradie
ton of "Anne White and John Doey
from Racine to face the charge in In
diana of abducting Pauline from Chi
cago and returning her to her mother.
The climax of morning in which
Mrs. Crocker, arraigned against Mrs.
Elsie Pillman, second wife of her for
mer husband, and Atty. p. J. Bailey
representing the state Of Indiana,
fought bitterly to retain Pauline, came
when Gov. Philip took the child upon
his knee, held her hand and looked
into her face. .
"Whom do you want to live with,
Pauline?7 said the governor softly.
"Mumsy!" cried Pauline.
'All right Pauline / won't let them
take you away from her now," the,
governor replied. Pauline Immediately
rushed to her mother who snatched
her close to her and smothered her
with kisses.
"I'm not going to return this child
70 Indiana" the governor added. The
father hasn't proved his right to keep
her.
The fight for little Pauline extends
back four years when Frank Pillman
an official of the Sinclair-Cudahy Pipe
Line company = East Chicago, was
granted divorce decree at Valparaiso
Ind, on grounds of alleged infidelity,
Pillman declares that he was granted
custody of the child, but that Mrs.
Pillman spirited her out of the state.
On Dec. 8. three men and woman
entered the Pillman apartment in East
Chicago, covered" Mrs. Pillman No.
2with revolver and dragged the
child to waiting automobile bearing
a Wisconsin state license. In resisting
the kidnapers, Mrs. Pillman was
knocked to the floor and seriously in
jured when her head struck a steam
radiator, it is said.

Somewhat Romantic Career
LETTERS REVEAL PART
Il. OF FAMILY HISTORY
Mother Left a Widow at Lodi and
Later Went to London, England
---82 If Living

Mrs Mary Schimmer Wiggin, for.
merly resident of West Point and
now located at Sioux Falls, South
Dakota, sends The News the following
interesting clipping from the Argus
Leader the item being originating at
Watertown in that state:
! J. H. Lynch, manager Of the dry
goods department at the Schaller
store, has been appointed by the pro
bate court administrator Of the estate
of George Rose, night Watchman at
Schaller's who was killed on Sun
day morning, Nov. 81, by an unknown
man who had broken into the store.
"A diligent search has been carried
on by John Nicholson, probate judge,
among Mr.. Roses effects to find some
trace of relatives and in the search
he was rewarded by finding packet
of letters from. Roses mother, with
dates covering the years from 1882
to 1887.
Letters Tell Story
The story told by the letters was
related as follows by Judge Nichol-
son; Rose was born in Lodi, Wis,
June 1862. During that year there was
a typhoid epidemic and his father
succumbed to the disease and his moth
er whose life was despaired of, gave
her son to family by name of Rose
and went to make her home with her
- I1+&
do not reveal the name of his father,
the letters from his mother not hav-
ing been written until after she had
married second time. Her name was
then Cooper, and she did not write
her son until she learned that he had
left his foster parents home, evidently
thinking she might make him dissat-
isfed
The mother related in her letters
that after her second marriage they
had moved to London, Eng, and,
shortly before her second husbands s
death, to farm near that city.
Mother Left Widow
She was left a widow with three,
small children, daughters, with whom
she returned to America making her
home in Sudbury, VT, from which
place the letters were written. The
letters state when she reached Sud
bury she had five dollars left and her
children were taken by friends.
The letters ceased after 1887 and
Judge Nicholson has written to Sud-
bury in an attempt to find some trace
of the mother if she is still living,
and of the three half sisters. The
mother if living would be about 81
years of age according to datee Civ

salted and fed to them without sue
cess. The first sea elephants ever
exhibited in Europe were among the
first to die, then a number Of Calf
ornia sea lions perished, also some
South African sea bears and many
valuable penguins.
One of the greatest tragedies al
Stellingen during the war was the
death, within very short period OF
time, of no less than 100 valuable
baboons. They perished because it
was impossible to feed them the corn
bread to which they had been accus-
toned. Next to die were dozens OF
ostriches and other extremely valua
BILE birds. All the time desperate eff
forts were being made to find some
method of keeping the deniZens OF
Stellingen alive during the crisis. In
some cases these efforts proved sue
cessful. For instance, numerous deer,
antelope and other animals survived
the period of greatest food shortage,
though deprived Of the kind of food
which had been supplied to them
in normal times.
Most of the beasts of prey at the
Hagenbeck park perished. There was
a great shortage Of horse meat, their
principal item Of diet, and none OF
the substitutes introduced proved sue
eessful. For a long time during the
war it was impossible to obtain horse
meat in sufficient quantities for the
Hagenbeck animals though constant
efforts were made to get it from the
military authorities, who had comman-
deered practically all the horses in
Germany. At last, large consignments
of horse meat from the front were
obtained and fed to lions, tigers and
other beasts of prey; but the mortality
among them, instead of decreasing,
became even higher than it had been
before.
Investigation showed that much of
the horse meat fed to them was taint-
ed, the horses having died of disease.
Thus perished nearly all the lions anG
tigers in Hagenbeck's possession, in
Guiding some of the finest spe cinens
ever captured alive, and one whole
group of twenty-five animals of diff
ferent species which Hagenbeck had
trained for purposes of exhibition.
