1920 AN ANNIVERSARY
YEAR IN WISCONSIN

By an unusual conjunction, the year
1928 becomes in this state double
anniversary 1t will be the two hun
dred and fiftieth anniversary of the
world famous expedition Of L. Joliet
and Father Marquette across Wiscon-
sin by the Fox-Wisconsin waterway
to discover the Mississippi. 1t will al
SO be the seventy-fifth anniversary of
the admission of Wisconsin into the
union.
The State Historical society is con-
sidering how it may help the state and
the local communities in their laud-
able desire to celebrate these out
standing events in our history. Sew
eral plans are in contemplation. One
is the publication in that year of a
new history of Wisconsin,; another is
the development of pageant and of
pageantry aids to schools and COM
munities wishing to use local mater
ial: another is a motion picture film
of Wisconsin history, supplemented
by sets of slides to be circulated
among the schools.

"The conclusions which l draw
from eight months observation OF
the Irish problem in America are:
"First-The Irish vote is large
enough to force the people to give
the Irish question an altogether un-
natural prominence.
"Second-The great bulk of Amer
lean opinion dislikes the intrusion of
Irish propaganda, but cannot prevent
it.
Third - AS long as the Irish
question remains acute in the
British people must be prepared to
face with equanimity any and every
manifestation of Irish ill-will in the
United States.
FOURTH Practically the whole
body of American people desires a
settlement that shall be satisfactory
in about equal measure to Ireland and
Great Britain.
"Fifth- In present circumstances
British propaganda on the Irish ques-
ton is practically useless ia United
States, and, therefore
"Sixth-The first task on which the
British friends of America should
bend their energies is to make an en-
during settlement in Ireland. Once
Dublin and London are reconciled,
we shall be on the high road to good
relations between America and Great
Britain"

The death of Mrs. George Hecox at
her home in East Lee few days ago
at Massachusetts brings to an end the
closing chapter of life story unrival-
ed by the immortal "Enoch Arden,
Mrs. Hecox, who was IA years Of age
survived her husband by only few
months and there came into the lives
of these two a romance as strange as
lit was real.
Before the days of the civil war
Mrs. Hecox met and married George
Hecox Soon after the marriage Mr.
Hecox joined the army and at the
close of hostilities failed to return.
lSupposing her husband was dead Mrs.
Hecox married Timothy Tucker.
Her first husband was not dead and
when he returned he acted in real life
the role of Enoch Arden. Finding his
Iwife married he hid his identity and
lived in seclusion in New York state
For many years he kept his peace and
watched the trend of affairs. After
Mr.. Tucker died II years ago, he re-
turned to Lee, made himself known
and he, with his former wife, began
living as when first interrupted by
the war.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Hecox were de
lvoutly religious which makes their
life story seem more strange.
