Have Same Speech.

The old Gaelic or Celtic languages
of the people of Scotland and Ireland
are still spoken in place of English In
the south and west of Scotland, In
parts of Wales and other places, but
the great majority of the people OF
both Scotland and Ireland speak Eng
lish. They have their variations OF
speech due to brogue or dialect, just
as different sections of England and
America have, but In all essentials
their language Is ours.

Benefit in Wearing Glasses.

Wearing glasses does not weaken
the eyes. This effect is apparent be-
cause the eye gives up straining and
reveals the full necessity for glasses.
Often eyes become so strengthened by
the rest thus given that after time
the glasses are no longer needed.

Lots are selling at Residence Park,
our City's latest and finest residence
section, at a speed which far exceeds
the expectations of the owners. AL
ready nearly fifty lots have been sold
and nearly all of them to people who
are buying, not for speculation, but
for homes. Plans are now being made
for the erection of several fine dwell
ings With the advantages of side
walks. city water, electricity, the fine
shade trees. the excellent slopes and
views and the care with which the
property has been laid out and platt-
ed. and the reasonable and careful re-
strictions, Residence Park Addition
will undoubtedly build up with sur
prising rapidity. Many of the best
lots are still on the market, but they
are going fast. With the small pay
ments and easy terms allowed, any
one who hopes sometime to have a
home can now secure an excellent To-
cation for the same. The phrase
"Ownvour own home," is spreading
and taking root throughout the count
ry. Those who have paid rent for
years are now becoming freeholders.
Why not own your part of Mother
Earth?
Arrangements have been made for
free band concerts to be held at Res
idnce Park every evening this week,
beginning Thursday, June oath, md

INVEST YOUR MONEY
CAREFULLY

Money to bear fruit must be
sown carefully in tested soil. Any
bond or note, or mortgage, or
preferred stock will not do. The
small farm mortgage so eagerly
sought in past years has almost
entirely disappeared from the
market unless you go into distant
states and possibly to uncertain
arid sections.
We offer this week
One Pierce County farm mort
gage of $4,000, and another of
$4,000.
In municipal bonds, variety
earning six per cent per annum,
interest payable at any good bank
by presenting the coupons, same
as from the Liberty Lean Bonds,
and not subject to any form of
tax except a possible inheritance
tax.
Such opportunities have not
been known since the years i'm

War.

AT the annual meeting of the Pierce
County Union, A. S. of E., held at
Ellsworth Saturday, the former offic-
ers were reelected for the ensuing
year as follows: Hon. C. E. Hanson,
president; Ed. Campbell, East ELS
worth, vice-president; Carl Cooke.
Spring Valley, secretary and treas
urer.
The legislative work of Senator G.
b. Skogmo and Assemblyman c. e.
Hanson was endorsed in resolution.
and in case of their decision to run
for reelection, the Pierce County I'm
ion pledges its support. (Mr. Hanson
has announced his decision to run
for reelection, and it is understood
that MIR. Skogmo will do likewise.)
The dissatisfaction of the Pierce
County Union with the present man
agement of the Equity News" was
expressed in resolution. 1t is claim
ed that under the present management
which is controlled by the Tittemore
faction, there is no opportunity for a
friendly discussion of points over
which the organization is now some
what divided. The faction in power
does not allow in the paper anything
which does not conform strictly to
the Tittemore view.
Another point in the resolution, cop
led herewith through courtesy of the
Ellsworth Record, states that the
Pierce County Union will have abso-
lutely nothing to do with the social
ed A. S. of E. business plan so long as
Mr.. Tittemore is at the head, and that
the Union will not support Mr.. Title
more's candidacy for the governor
ship.
1t is the sentiment of the county
Union That their present business syS-
tenn is doing very well, and one of the
members estimates that it would cost
the Ellsworth local alone over $500
just to do business under the proposed
plan; that it would mean about $1,000
to all of the locals of Pierce County,
besides their regular dues, etc., and
that being thus tied up they could not
do as well as at present. The locals
would be just furnishing the funds,
while the state organization would
have all the say through their own
practically permanent officers.
Following is the resolution as pass
ed Saturday:
RESOLUTION
We, the members of the Pierce
County Union, A. S. of E., as
sembled in convention this 18th
day of June, 1920, hereby go on
record as being unalterably OPP
posed to President j. N. Title
more for the manner in which he
is conducting his office, and that
we shall oppose him in his cam
paign for the governorship of
Wisconsin.
We deplore the manner in which
the Equity News is being con-
Quoted in allowing only matter
favorable to Mr.. Tittemore to ap-
pear in its columns. This paper
is owned by the entire member
ship and all factions should have
access to its columns.
We will not support any bust
ness plan that is organized under
Mr.. Tittemore's administration.
We order that this resolution be
sent to the Equity News, Capitol
Times and Ellsworth Record for
publication.
