end until shutdown Tuesday.
A call came for help from Valders
last Saturday morning where Alfred
Halderson's store was on fire. AS
there was no water there available
for the Manitowoc gasoline pumper
no apparatus was sent out and the
fire was eXtinguished with loss of
less than $1,000. 1t looked for a
while as if there would be a bad
blaze. The damage to the building
was slight

Like cradle, rocking, rocking,
Silent, peaceful to and fro;
Like a mothers sweet looks dropping
On the little face below,
Hangs the green earth, swinging,
turning,
Jaress, noiseless, safe and slow,
Falls the light of Gods face bending
Down and watching us below.
And as feeble babes that suffer,
Toss and cry and will not rest,
Are the ones the tender mother
Holds the closest, loves the best;
So when we are weak and wretched,
By ourselves weighed down, dis
tressed,
Then it is that Gods great patience
Holds us closest, loves US best.
0 great heart of God, whose loving
Cannot hindered be nor crossed
viii not weary, will not even
In our death itself be lost.
Love divine! of such great loving
Only mothers know the cost
Cost of love, which, all love passing,
Gave itself to save the lost.

1t seems that the majority of peo-
pie in this world are either over-con-
tident or they lack confidence, For
the over-cOnfdent nothing can be
done for their very fault makes them
needless to anything you might say.
They are so sure that they know
much more about it than you for an
over-confident man is always a CON
ceited man.
But for those who lack confidence
the thing to do is to induce them that
they have just as much backbone as
anyone else. Perhaps they can't feel
it before it has become soft from not
being used but it is there just the
same. All it needs is a little exer-
else.
To these people almost any task
looks impossible. They feel quite in
adequate for anything that comes
their way They never try to do any
thing because they feel sure they
would fail. Consequently never hay
ing tried, they have never had an OPP
lportunity to know whether they
would have failed or succeeded.

How are we able to measure the
good which a kind or an encouraging
word may do? People are getting al
together too prone to look upon an
others sorrows or misfortune with a
shrug of the soulders and an its-none-
of-my-atfairs attitude. OF course,
one should not force sympathy where
it is not wanted, or be so profuse with
it that the recipient feels over bur
dened, but rare indeed is the person
who cannot remember times in his
life when a little sympathy, a little
understanding, would have saved
hours and days and weeks of heart
ache.
So do not be too sure that anoth-
ers trouble or misfortune is not your
affair Possibly when the Book of
Life is opened you may find large
balance on the debit side.

A great deal has been said and
written about Mother but regard
less Of how much can be said or how
much can be written the subject will
never be exhausted. A mothers love
probably comes as near the quality
of Gods love for us as anything we
know here on earth.
1t is so purely unselfish and so far
from anything earthly that many
who have not experienced mother
love find it difficult to appreciate
Perhaps they term it foolishness or
unreasoning that a mother should
stand by her child through thick and
thin, and that she should always be
able to see in him the same innocence
and guilelessness Of his childhood. 1t
may be foolish from the worlds point
Of view, but it is a very heavenly
thought though to know that there is
someone in the world who believes in
you to that extent 1t makes you feel
like bucking up and justifying that
belief. And in case that someone"
has gone on to a better world, all the
more reason for keeping the faith.

BLAINE ATTACKS
HAYS PLAN TO

trains. with the instruction to shoot

that M. M. Hanson. the guard who
shot Otto Lambrecht of Kaukuna,

trial.
Governor Blaine's letter is in reply
to that Of the postmaster general,
who answered the governors request
for surrender of the guard with a
statement defending his action and
expressing the intention of the gov
eminent to continue the use Of ma

army officers. In times past, when a
regiment was transferred to another
post the transfer was accomplished by
cntraining the men and their i'm
~pedimenta and setting them down in
their new home, bag and baggage.
Under the new scheme Of things, the
transfer of a regiment involves no
such expenditure Of time and money.
Only the colors of the outfits to be
transferred are sem or to the new
post, the men being assigned to some
other organization nearby.
An Illustration.
An instance Of this is to be found
in the recent transfer OF the 18th In
fantry regiment from the Atlantic to
the Pacific coast. The colors of the
18th were sent to San Francisco-nd
by boat instead Of train. to save ex-
pense-the men Of the old 18th were

on the Pacific coast was filled by
members of the 32nd infantry. who
had been put on the inactive list. al

32nd infantry became the commander
Of the transferred" 18th.

reads: mo expense will be incurred

expense of the individual involved. "
Indeed, army travel has been re.
duced to a minimum, even on officia

REPORT MADE

as It relates to syndicalist unions in
the United States" says the first an

eral Daugherty.
COMMUNIST parties in this country,
Mr. Daugherty says. have united to
more effectively carry on propaganda
and the policy is to endeavor to gain
control of the labor organizations
through the control Of the executive
committees or other governing bodies
therein.
Many of the leaders of this owe
ment are American citizens" he says,
Though they are subject to orders
from Moscow as to their action and
activities in the United States" 3
The attorney general says there has
been a noticeable effort upon the pari
OF various so.called defense societies
to propagate and carry on agitation in
behalf Of the ~ultra-radicals In the
United States" a.
"Inconspicuous individuals in the
u~ltra-radical movement Appreciated
locally" he asserts, ''are martyred and
propaganda started in their behalf,
not only within the United States, but
throughout the entire world. In
many instances the so-called defense
organizations arc found to be merely
a camoulage for such movements as

Rigid Economy is Practiced
In All Departments of Army

Washington, Dec. S.-The time was

his shoes. heels and soles, but to every
item of his equipment, they declare
and all because of the wave OF
economy that has swept over the
military arm of the service.
In it's effort to live within the re-
duced appropriations granted by. the
present congress the army has been
forced to apply economies all along
the line, and the thrift habit is being
impressed on the rank and file in a
manner calculated to leave an abiding
impression.
Order is Issued.
Some saving soul suggested that the
item of shoes was one that might
easily be subjected to a little pruning.
TIE doughboys were scuffins out their
sole leather at a rate that threatened
to prove ruinous. he demonstrated,
and it was suggested h a the man
behind the gun be made personally
responsible for the state OF his foot
wear. The suggestion was adopted,
and as translated to the rank and file
it runs about as follows:
Privates will see that their shoe
soles are in good order-that they are
turned in for replacement at the first
sign of a hole in the outer layer of
leather. And they will make this shoe

having to pay themselves for any re-

the line. and even the rawest of re-

garded as a cardinal virtue in the
army. That Is impressed on him as

An institute was held In Csfcago On
efficiency in government under the
auspices Of the National League of
Women Voters. The institute was
conducted by Miss. Belle Sherwin of
Cleveland for the purpose of teach
ing women by direct method what
will make the democratic form of
government more effective.
The aim OF the institute Is to
throughout the region and to inter-
est M not already active in po-

laggards in the matters of their pub

lively presentation of topics with
illustrative material such as mock
elections using different forms Of
ballots and the women learned
through actual experiences in election
processes.
The speakers were authorities from
university chairs, but their p%resenta-
tioin was not academic. Instead
they gave a serviceable program
for women attending the school" who
in turn will carry back to their COM
