Teachers Must Keep Themselves
Healthy.

That teachers no less than children
owe personal and public duty to
maintain a vigorous and healthy eX-
istence was stressed before the Wash
ington county teachers institute at
West Bend by Mrs. Mary P. Morgan,
director of the bureau of child well
fare, in talk on the value of ply
sical examination for teachers.
At another institute in a Wiscon-
sin county, this need was so apparent
that physical examinations were con-
Quoted during the institute, and all
teachers attending submitted to a
thorough inspection to ascertain
their physical defects and means of
eliminating them, and how to fit
themselves to be good examples for
emulation by pupils.

Red Cross at the Mineral Point
Fair.

That the Red Cross is still a live
organization was evidenced by it's
work at the fair. Under the super
vision of Miss Lewis, county social
worker, with some local help "Rest
Tent" was maintained, Health
Charts and model school lunch
were displayed, dolls bearing legends
for care of babies were attractively
shown, and the work done in the
school for Deaf. and Dumb and by
patients in the Milwaukee Tubercu-
lar sanitarium was on sale.
Two pairs of scales-one at the
east and one at the north entrance
were kept busy Wednesday, Thurs
day and Friday. During these days
$50 weight charts were filled out,
and given to parents together with
standards of weight for each child.
Parents showed great interest in see
ing if their children were normal in
weight and in finding out how to
care for underweight children.
Visitors from neighboring towns
and other states showed a marked
interest in this work and were sur
prised to learn that thru the help Of
the Red Cross and the physical train
ing department it had become reg
11lar part of our public school work.
A visitor from California remark
ed that this weighing together with
the furnishing of milk to under
weight children was a step in ad-
vance of the health work done in the
California schools.
Last year the milk was furnished
thru the generosity of the w. r. C.
and the Red Cross. 1t is to be hoped
that this good work will be contin-
ued.

COOPERATION.

at aint their guns AnOr arments
nor funds that they can pay,
It's their close cooperation
that makes 'em win the day;
And it aint the individual
nor the army as a whole;
But the ever lasting teamwork
of every bloomin' soul"
Cooperation is an easy theme to
advocate; yet sometimes its practice
is difficult. "a house divided
against itself will surely fall" and
"United we stand divided we fall"
are pity statements of the absolute
need of cooperation. Public schools,
municipal improvements, county
AGRICULTURAL advancement, state
health conservation, even religion
depend upon cooperative efforts.
The Iowa county farmer. who re-
markad: "a farmer whose neighbors
are not his friends has nothing" !"
said a mouthful' which has very
wide application. This community
has accomplished so much hhrough
cooperation, from such intangible
things as public health to such con-
crete matters as our unsurpassed
municipal building, that editorial
comment is hardly necessary. We
have a proud heritage nearly a CEN
tury old in this substantial and at
tractive city Of Mineral Point. Our
justly proud community will cor-
tinue to increase in strength and
power in exactly the same measure
as we incrase in our ability to CO.
operate. Remembering that COOP
Grafton comes from a word meaning
to work; let every citizen of this
community show the necessary spirit
of friendliness, good Will, and toler-
ance to every other citizen while we
all work industriously for the ad-
yancement~ of the common good,
feeling confident that every success
cooperative undertaking means
greater success for every individual
than any individual can secure for
himself and by himself. Indeed "ths
ever lasting. team work of every
bloomin' SOUL brings prosperity to
the individual as well as happiness
to the community.

MADISON BAN K,ER PRE-
Diets BETTER TIMES.

Solomon Levitan, speaking to the
Wisconsin Furniture Dealers asso-
citation In the senate chamber of the
capitol, predicts great business re-
vtwal in this country.
"When this will start" he stated,
81 cannot say, your guess is as good
as mine, but an era of great pros
perity is coming. Once construction
gets fairly started the entire indus
trial train will be back on the main
track, making no steps until it
reaches the greatest era this country
has ever known"
He attempted to point out to the
dealers that their .gn2at mission in
this reconstruction was two fold. To
transform houses into homes. Not
just assembly materials, but create
places where the foundations of hap
piness and. national welfare are laid,
and also re-adjusted retail prices in
proportion to the drop in wholesale
prices. Take the loss with smile
without complaint and as soon as
possible.
He also said: DON'T work on the
principle of getting Heach customer
.once-and getting him good and
proper" "Sell on a reasonable mar
gin and let the compliments of the
community help sell your goods"

The Golden Jubilee Celebration
By MRS. e. MESS,

Last week Tuesday, August 23d,
st. Mary's congregation celebrated
the Golden jubilee or fiftieth ami
versary of the founding of st. Mary's
parochial graded school. At ten
o'clock while the church bells were
ringing joyously a procession was
proceeding from the school house to
the church headed by cross-bearer
and altar boys in crimson and white,
followed by pupils of st, Mary's
school carrying beautiful white and
gold banners with notices appro-
pirate for the day; the little boys car
ried yellow and white flowers; the
little girls wore white dresses and
yellow bandeau's in their hair caught
with yellow and white flowers. Then
came Father Weyer, local pastor,
and the venerable sisters and the
members of st. Mary'S congregation.
1t was a most edifying procession.
The many visiting sisters namely:
Mother Romano, Mother General of
St. GATHERINGS convent, Racine, Sis
ters M Thomasina, M Evangelist,
M. Clara, M. Marie, M Theresa, M.
Jerome, M. Helen, M Alexia, M.
Adolpha, M. Walburga, M. Anselma,
M. Sabina, M Stanislaus, M. Susanna
M. James, M Engelbert, M. Maxima,
M. Juonita, M. Julitta, all express
ing happiness, filled ones heart with
joy.
Father Jealck of Cashton highly
educated and talented young priest,
born and raised in this city and a
former pupil of st. Mary's school,
was honored by Father Weyer to be
celebrant at the solemn high mass.
Father M 'Weyer of Martinsville,
was deacon and Father Hoesler of
Dane, sub-deacon: his brother, F.
Hoesler, student, was master of cere-
monies. Father N. Weyer presided
in the sanctuary. Father ApeNtz tof
Highland, delivered a most eloquent
jubilee sermon. The large choir,
under the skiilful training of the or
ganist, Mrs. T. F. Keefe, sang the
third Mass by NJ Brosig and the Of
fertory, Ave Verum by Gounod, the
excellence of which added much to
the impressiveness of the occasion.
Solemn benediction of the blessed
sacrament and singing Of the Te
Deum Laudamus concluded the
beautiful services.
The interior of st. Mary's church
never appeared SO beautiful as it did
on this occasion. Decorated in gold
and white; long white and gold crepe
streamers hung from the highest
point in the sanctuary to the side
wall, where they were fastened with
dainty little baskets of flowers: gold
en-glow, hydrangers and ferns. The
white and gold decorations were
much in evidence on affairs and COM
munion railing and the little white
and gold banners imprinted with
gold numbers 1871 and 1921, were
very artistic and all was the work of
the good sisters. At no time were
the decorations so beautiful as for
this Golden Jubilee.
After the ceremonies the clergy
and sisters were entertained with a
banquet in ST. Mary's hall which re-
sembled fairyland with it's beautiful
decorations in yellow and white, bas-
kets of flowers and ferns. The grand
floral display here was superintended
Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1921-09-01


the hall of Father Weyer was also
decorated in his honor. The dining
tables were resplendent with cut
glass and silverware and china,
place cards and gold and white deco
rations..
Prominent ladies of st. Mary's
congregation served the tempting vi
ands. Those having picnic dinners
on the grounds were served coffee
and cream and sugar. In the after
noon the Mineral Point band enliven-
ed the hours with choice selections,
which were highly appreciated. Then
Father Weyer in his pleasing man
ner delivered an address with re-
sponse by Father Arntz. Father
Jeuck gave very pleasing address
and recalled humorous reminiscent
ces of his school days. Father gave
several splendid short speeches
among the others, but the most note
worthy address of the day was by E.
c.. Fielder, on Religious training as
fundamental to success in life" He
lauded St. Mary's graded school and
everything pertaining to higher prin-
ciples and noble causes and the value
of education. 1t was an address
highly commendable and much prais-
ed. At four o'clock the sisters were
given an automobile ride through
the city. Later on supper was serv-
ed in the hall to the clergy and sis
Iers and the band.
Light refreshments had been served
on the grounds during the day and
also served Ina the evening" After
and one reel demonstration of the
| new motion picture machine of st.
| Mary's school. This notable happy
day closed with a dancing party to
the music of Fred Jeuck,s orchestra
and will always be remembered by
all present as the 4grandest jubilee in
the history of ST. Mary's congrega-
tion. The first St Mary's school was
built in 1841, after the first ST.
! Mary's church was completed during
| the pastorate of Father Weinhart
| The first instructors were two highly
cultured and refined ladies, Sisters
| M. Seraphine and Sister M. Thomas
ina. They suffered many hardships
| as they came at time when the
strictest economy had to be observed
the days of the candle dip and cal
! ico dresses. Sister Seraphine is rest
ing in st. Mary's cemetery these
many years. Father Weinhart died
! in 1890. During all of the SO years
the Dominican Sisters have been
instructors in the school. Several
other priests have had charge of St.
Mary's congregation. At Christmas
time 1900, Father Weyer came to
take charge of the parish-a man
possessing the faculty of leadership
good Judgment and action. With
the help of his congregation, the
magnificent church, school, hall and
sisters residence was built and is
considered one of the finest proper
ties of our city.
The educational activities of St.
Mary's school are we'll demonstrated
and stand as speaking monuments
for Father Wyer, who is greatly be
loved and esteemed by his large con-
gregation for his kindnesses and zeal
in their welfare.

In sad, but loving remembrance os
my son, JAMES X. MURPHY, who
departed this life one month ago, Sep
tember 30, 1921, in his 3ird year.
Dearest James, you were called away
50 sudden,
Without time to say goodbye,
b. know your thoughts we're with US
When you were called to die.
You are resting in peace, dear James;
One sad month has passed away;
You are gone, but net forgotten,
As think of you each day.
Sleep on, dearest James, and quietly
rest,
We needed you, but God knew best:
God $ viii be done-fIe doeth all things
But how we miss you, no tongue can
tell.
Your smiling face we see no more,
Your spirit is at rest,
You are gone to be with Jesus,
In the land OF peace and rest.
Gone in the best of his days,
l}lighted ia mans bloom,
Torn from the hearts that loved him,
10 sleep in the silent tomb.
Miss you ? Yes, we miss,
But assurance is In vain:
We will meet you in heaven,
Where sell never f,a pa It It a;. a., a Asiifi.
James, dear, there is some one that
will finger
AT the spot where you are laid;
They will come and bring You flowers,
On the grave that death has made.

and child.

Republican Auto Plank
Attracting Attention


Much interest has been awakened
among auto owners by the auto plank
OF the Maryland Republican platform
which was adopted at the recent Bal
timore convention. This plank, which
was drafted by Senator Oliver ). Met
zerott, now candidate for Comptroller,
reads as follows
I'VE favor the elimination of the
| Special tax on men who earn their daily
bread by driving automobiles. This
is an Oceupationai tax and wholly an
fair. We also favor such reciprocity
with the District OF Columbia as will
preserve the state revenue. but do
away with the present annoying two
/ tag system. We favor reduction or
elimination of the title fee for aatOmo-
biles, which is out Of all proportion to
the actual cost or value OF the service
rendered.
The earnest support for just and
| equitable regulations to govern auto
mobile traffic and provide better roads
was championed by Senator Metzerott
10 the legislative session at Annapolis
! in 1916, when he introduced and had
enacted bill providing that any road
leonstrncted under authority OF section
Is, of the public civil laws shall be a
state road and maintained as such.
The act providing for the construc-
tion of The national defense high
way sAi between tire District of Celafif-
bia and Annapolis measure of great
benefit TO automobilists and the gener-
al public--was put through the legis-
latnre by Senator Metzerott, who also
Originated the name to be given this
highway. This boulevard to Annapo-
| lis is now under construction.
