We should shop early because we
would like to get the best gifts for
our friends and dear relatives. An
other reason is to avoid crowds. be-
cause many accidents occur In crowds
Stll another reason is because near
Christmas there is much traffic in tn
streets and many people are injured
or killed. Then too. we could get our
things, which would be delivered to
our homes before the last min
ute, for much less than they cost
near Christmas. Ny conclusion is:
That every one should shop early 80

Christmas shopping should be q
pleasure for everyone. store en-
ployes should be considered FIRST, as
il is hardest on them, and they en-
deavor to please us. Rushing those
last days fatigues everybody for the
day of cheerfulness. Better results
for our money can be received by
early shopping. Those who can should
start before Thanksgiving and by De-
cember 10 have everything wrapped

REMAINING DAYS BEST.
Washington merchants today point
ed out that the remaining days of
this week are by far the best on
which 10 do the Yuletide buying
because the real congestion has not
yet started and stocks have not
been paved over and mussed up.
Next week the Government employees
will be paid of and will make a
bee line for the stores to do their
Christmas shopping. This will cause
all the stores to be crowded. Those
who wish to avoid the rush and do
their buying in peace and comfort
and give adequate time to making
their selections should do their
Christmas shopping this week.

VILLAIN JENNINGS BRYAN.

This world renowned platform speak
err appeared at the Municipal Theatre
in this city last Saturday afternoon per
announcement.
1t being a season of the year, a day
of the week and an hour of the day
when merchants and farmers alike are
busily occupied with toll and affairs Of
self-interest, the attendance, although
good, was not, we feel quite sure, as
large as it would have been had the
lecture taken place in the evening.
Mr.. Bryan, in his eloquent, smooth,
scholarly way discussed the excellence
and Importance Of religion, temperance
and good government, showing quite
clearly the necessity thereof to insure
perpetual happiness and welfare of the
human family.
1t was a good talk and no fairminded
hearer differed with him. But Mr..
Bryan being a would-be great office
holder, why does he preach in this way
and still adhere to the Democratic party
like leach? Is it consistent?

FIRST PARLIAMENT IN 1865
From That Time Dates the Entry OF
the Commons Into Power In
the State.

The Goth Of January. 1865, was q
great day not only for the English
speaking people but the world; 1t was
the time appointed for the meeting of
the first parliament in England.
Mathew of Paris in his chronicles
first uses the word in reference to a
council of the barons in 1916. but il
was In the year 1865, during a civil
war which very much resembled that
of the seventeenth century, being for
law against an arbitrary power as ex-
pressed by royalty, that the first par
liaments, properly so-called, were as
sembled. 1t was at this time that
Simon de Montfort held King Henry
in his power.
This parliament was summoned in
such manner that there should be
two knights for each county. and two
citizens for every borough; the first
clear acknowledgement of the commons
element in the state. The meeting was
held in that magnificent hall at West
minister and the representatives of the
commons sat In the same place with
their noble associates, probably at the
bottom of the har, little disposed 10
assert a controlling voice nor joining
in any vote. But there they were
and, notwithstanding the fact that De
Montfort was shortly overpowered
and he and nearly all Of his associates
slaughtered the commons were never
again left out. 1t was an admitted
power entitled to be consulted in all
great national movements and to have
a directing voice in the matter of
taxation.

Dedlcationiof Sacred Heart Church
at Cashton VIM. N. Jeuck, Pastor

From the Cashton Record.
A day never to be forgotten in the
history of Cashton was Thursday, May
q. 1926, when the beautiful church OF
the Sacred Heart Of Jesus was dedicat-
ed by Ri Rev. Bishop James Schwt
back of the Lacrosse Diocese.
The day dawned fair, and it proved to
be a perfect May day. When the hour
set for the dedication arrived, aithrong
of people had assembled to participate
in the impressive ceremonies.
The procession started from the rec
tory and. upon arrival at the entrance
of the church, the Bishop, with the aid
of his assistants. blessed the exterior
of the edifice. Thereupon followed the
blessing of the interior after which the
Solemn High Mass began.
I At this impressive function the Rev.
John Oberlnkel of st. Marys, Missouri,
was celebrant. He was assisted by
( Rev. E. S. Schuster of Chicago as dea-
con, and Rev. NJ. f. McQuaid of Shulls-
| burg as sub deacon. The Rev. Thomas
/ DOYLE of Seneca acted as master of GER
emonies and Reys. Leo Lang of La
/ Crosse and Carl Fries of Summit were
acolytes Assisting the Bishop at his
/ throne were Revs. John Thil of St.
Marys Ridge and H. Flock Of Sparta.
The English sermon was preached by
a school chum of the pastor, the Rev.
Roman M. Piel of Manitowoc, and was
| indeed, a scholarly and masterful dis
course. Father Jeuck S pastor, Rev. N.
! Weyer of Mineral Point, noted speak
er, delighted the vast crowd with his
message of congratulations and well
wishes. At the conclusion the Bishop
addressed the congregation. His words
were those of JOY and hearty felicita-
ton. He expressed his keen delight in
the substantial church, beautiful, as he
declared it in every detail, and was es-
pecially pleased because of the fact that
over two thirds of the cost of the church,
rectory and furnishings. representing
an expenditure Of more than $52, 600,
is paid for.
The affairs were magniticently decor
ated for the occasion. and the choir was
at its best. A wonderful program
was rendered which evoked encomiums
from all quarters The choir was as
sisted by distinguished violinst, a
/ friend of Father Jeuck's, MIR. Lloyd
Felker of Marshfeld, and Fred j. Jeuck
brother of the pastor, as bass soloist.
/ When the dedicatory services were con-
4 cluded everyone repaired to the dining
room in the church where the ladies OF
the parish had prepared a delicious re-
past. Great credit is due these good
women Besides the Bishop, eighteen
priests graced the festival.
In the evening the minstrel for the
benefit of the pipe organ fund was given
and $4l4 was added thereto.
Pastor Jeuck's JOY of the day was
further accumulated in having with him
his brother, Fred j. Jeuck. and his
aunts and uncles. Dr. and Mrs w. j.
Morgan, and Attorney J. j. Fielder and
wife. and his boyhood pastor, Rev. N.
/ Weyer, all of Mineral Point
