WORK NEARLY FINISHED.

Mineral Point now has a lake. The
work of building the dam and pre-
pairing the grounds is nearly COM
pleted. The water has been turned
in and will soon have a depth Of
eight feet or more. Work is in pro-
gress on the bathing beach and the
diving tower. The lake, we UNDER
stand will be named "The Soldiers
Memorial Park" in honor of the sol
diers of the Civil War, the soldiers
of the Spanish American War and
the soldiers of the World War. Men,
orial trees will be planted in the park
surrounding it. Next season shrub
berry and flowers will be planted,
and make the place a beauty spot
of the city. A pleasure boat will be
put on the lake on Friday.

PLANT MEMORIAL TREES.

The plan to plant trees in and
about the Soldiers Memorial Park in
honor of those who have served their
country in wars for freedom, should
be heartily endorsed by everyone. 1t
is a good thought to thus perpetuate
the memory of those whom the world
delights to honor. The Milwaukee
Journal beautifully expresses the
sentiment which prompts the plant
ing of Memorial Trees. 1t says:
"Can anyone think of more ap-
propriate memorial \of those who
gave up their lives than a tree, living
and growing, becoming every year a
thing of greater beauty and greater
usefulness, refreshing the eye with
it's grateful shade? So may well be
typified the fruit of the soldiers
work, who though he was left un-
known on a foreign field, made his
contribution to life and security and
hberty-a contribution that goes on
and on as the trees we plant in his
memory go on, making always a
greater contribution to human happi-
ness"

Monuments Not Popular With
the American Legion.

Instead Of covering the country
with the old fashioned idea OF monu-
ments to the heroic American dead
of the World War, a strong move
ment is afoot and gaining strength
for planting memorial trees to honor
the memory of those who lost their
lives in the service of their country.
1t is a beautiful thought of making
the trees living monuments to those
who made the sacrifice. Arbor Day
in the fall such as Armstice Day,
November eleventh, provides a se-
quence as an appropriate day for tree
planting. 1t has been proposed by
the Park Commission to set aside
Thursday, November tenth, as the
day to go to the woods and give as
sistance to the American Legion in
digging and transporting the trees to
the new park, ready for planting on
the morning of November eleventh.
The American Legion also contenn-
plates planting trees for each and
every remaining soldier of the civil
war belonging to the G. A. r. OF
Mineral Point The committee will
call on you for donation of service;
also for donation of trucks for trans
porting trees.
A few short months ago do you re-
member how we had the band play
ing martial music on the street head
ed by the emblem of freedom unfurl-
ed to the breeze, and how enthusiast
tically we cheered the boys that de-
parted to the front to do or to die?
Exercise some of that enthusiasm
and assist the boys in their memor-
ial work of planting trees and re-
foresting the new park and thereby
making it living, growing MEM
Orium.
Get your pick and shovel. Be
ready. Don't wait for George to do
it; he can't do it alone. Get it done;
"Say it with Trees.

WEEKS ASKS LEGION'S AID
Appeals to Commander to Help Obtain
Facts Relating to Charges Made
by Senator Watson.

Washington, Nov. S.-The American
Legion was asked by the War depart
ment to lend its assistance in obtain
ing all facts relating to the charges
made by Senator Watson of Georgia
that soldiers were frequently shot and
hanged without court-martial during
the war. Secretary Weeks appealed to
Hanford Macnider, commander of the
American Legion, asking the assist
ance of his organization in order to
make public all records and informa-
tion relating to the senator's allega-

Red Cross Membership Roll Call.

President Harding has declared by
proclamation that the annual mem
bership roll call of the American Red
Cross shall begin Armistice Day and
continue until Nov. oath.
Under the new arrangement all
funds will remain in the country for
the support of present activities with
the exception of fifty cents from each
annual contributing or sustaining
membership, which supports the
work of National Headquarters.
The National Red Cross finances
such work as disaster relief, Red
Cross work in government hospitals
and the army still on the Rhine. The
past year national emergency relief
has been given to 43 disasters, such
as the Pueblo and San Antonio. floods
fires, train wrecks, tornadoes, cpl
denies and famine suffering among
the Alaska Indians, and the grasshop
per plague of North Dakota. These
emergencies called for an eXpendi-
ture of $1,871,0O0.
Watch for the Roll Call posters
which will tell the story of the in
creasing number of disabled men.
That more than $10,000,000 has
been expended in this work by the
National organization within the
past year proves the need for con-
tinued support.
in our own county organization
this year 80 disabled men have been
given service in adjusting claims
with the government. The "Clean

Japan TO ASK CUT OF
NAVIES FIRST, REPORT
Delegates to Washington Arms Farley
Would Discuss the Other
Problems Later.

Washington, Nov. 4.-The Japanese
delegation to the armament conference
will attempt to have the size Of naval
appropriations fixed first, when the big
world peace gathering gets under way
next week.
At the State department it was said
the United States will insist that the
Far-East question be taken up in con-
nection with the matter of ornaments,
but the leaders of the Tokyo delega-
tion gave no indication Of yielding.
The Japanese viewpoint, as inform
ally expressed after the arrival here
Of Admiral T. Kato, minister of ma
rine, and Pfinct Iyesato Tokugawa,
president Of the house Of peers. who,
with Ambassador Shidehara, form
the principal Japanese delegation, was
that prior discussion of Pacific and
Far-Eastern questions might involve
difficulties such as to delay progress
Of the negotiations.
While there has been no certain In
dication to the attitude of the Ameri-
can delegates on this point it Is un-
derstood that their preparatory con-
ference to date, in which Secretary
DENLY and the technical advisers on
naval matters participated, have been
largely confined to a study Of the
armament limitation problem. The
American delegation is understood to
be preparing to take the initiative in
the conference, and to make a sub
stantial offer on behalf of this gov
ernment looking to reduction Of naval
programs.
The two Japanese delegates, accom-
panied by a party Of advisers and ex-
perts, were greeted, at the station on
their arrival by Secretaries Hughes
and DENLY, and number Of other Off
cials, and were escorted by cavalry
to the residences reserved for them
here.

All Saints Day.

ST. Mary's church bells chimed out
joyously Nov. 1st, All Saints Day,
and the parishioners, young and old,
wended their way to the sacred edi-
fee, whose interior architectural
beauty was in festive attire. First
mass was celebrated at six o'clock
and high mass with sermon and SOL

A SERIOUS MATTER.

The Democrat hopes that the
Southwestern Wisconsin Fair of
1922 will be a success. But if we
are to Judge from the attendance at
the Fair meeting called for last Fri
day night it is questionable whether
Mineral Point wants Fair next year
Business men and other stockholders
who were absent at that time best
know their reasons for being so. But
one thing is certain, and that is that
Mineral Point will not long remain
on the map if her citizens do not
take a lively interest in and work
unitedly for the success of enter
prizes which are for the advancement
of the city and the country round
about. In the past, by unity of pur-
pose and action, we have made pro-
gress. 1t should be so in the present
and in the future. By all means, let
the Fair of next year be made a great
success. 1t can be made a success
by united effort on the part of the
community: by the managers arrang-
ing for and carrying out a good pro-
gram; by securing sports and special
attractions that will draw the people
and provide entertainment for them.
But the Fair cannot be made success
full if little or nothing is done to-
wards carrying it forwadr until a
few weeks before the dates announc-
ed for it. The meeting of last Fri
day night ought to have been largely
attended. The Democrat is, not ar
guing or scolding about the matter.
1t is simply telling some plain truths
which should be needed by all who
are interested in the advancement of
this community.
