But those who tried to wrest the

Representatives of the biggest
British toy factories say that there

with Germany in this line.
The British market at this mo-

1t is a field in which Germany is un-

Right of Michigan Man to

Washington, Nov. 15.-The desire OF
many Democratic senators to debate
the right of Truman Ell. Newberry to
sit as senator from Michigan may
spoil the plans of Republican leaders
to make him a holiday gift of title to
the seat 1t is extremely probable
that the vote will be put ever until
the next session.

has taken a leading part in pushing

tice in the senate that there will be
considerable discussion of the recon-
mendation by the majority of the
privileges and elections committee in
favor of seating Newberry. He said
the Democrats do not propose to cast
their votes on the matter until it has
been fully discussed.

A MASTER STROKE FOR
PEACE.

The nations and peoples of the
world have been greatly astonished
and gladdened by the proposal OF
Secretary Hughes for the reduction
of naval ornaments. The news of
yesterday is that four great powers
Great Britain, France, Italy, and
Japan.-have accepted the American
proposal for the limitation of naval
armaments, making onl reserva-
tions for suggesting notifications of
detail. The New York World says
that Secretary Hughes has presented
a proposal so much in advance Of
what had been expected that the cleo
trio thrill with which it was heard
was felt in every capital of the world.
The world moves, and the day is
surely coming when nation shall no
longer against nations rise.

was recently decided to divide the
county into five or more separate
clubs, the officers of which form the

Holstein breeders in locality of Min
eral Point, met in Ryan's banquet
hall, and after partaking of one of

On Wednesday evening, Nov. 9th,
the Christian Endeavor Society of
the First Congregational church
gathered in the lecture room, the oc-

of socials to be given by the society
during the present season. More
than seventy-five of the members and
friends were on hand to help usher
in the hour of Endeavor sociability
and good will. After marching
song and brief devotions, in which all
took part, the evening was given
over to the mirth provoking stunts
and games in keeping with the occas-
ion. The Social Committee of the
Society is in line for awards, for the
large and happy success of the hour
was due to their systematic planning
and effort. Ten dozen doughnuts
and coffee in proportion disappeared
during the refreshment session. The
whole society is alert now and ready
for social number two.

MINERAL POINT

Editor DemOcrat:-OneO of the first
things that should be considered
with regard to the best interests of
community is beauty. Beauty is
always attractive. Your stores, banks
and theatres know and take advant-
age of this fact in their buildings,
and in their displays. But the bur
den of making your city beautiful
should not rest with your merchants.
| Their interests may be partial to
Main street. Your interests are in
your institutions, your schools, your
churches, and your homes. Make
them an inspiration to your children
and objects of admiration to your
visitors.
The fact that art need not be utili-
tartan leads us to often to the con-
clusion that utilitarian things need
not be beautiful. You have a per-
feet example in your city. Does any
one ever stop to admire the new
water tower? 1t can be seen from
miles around. When / first saw it /
thought that zinc furnace had moved
to the top of the hill 1t is ugly. It
dominates the town; and stamps it
as manufacturing town, when it is
not. True, a town cannot live on
beauty, no more than a couple can
live on love. No matter how beauti-
fully street is lighted, too many
pits may spoil the impression But
the ideal situation is to make utili-
tartan things as beautiful as posi-
bic. They will be source of pride
and pleasure to yourselves and the
greatest attraction your city can pos
sibly have.
Small towns have yet to learn that
their greatest assets are the natural
resources at hand-lOcal interests
local talent-and greatest Of all
local space. The one thing the peo-
pie of the cities most envy you Is
your abundance of room. The west
is far ahead of the middle west in
grasping this freedom. Rambling
bungaloes and beautiful gardens
make California attractive. Why do
you butt your houses one against
another when an added ten minutes
walk would put it on an acre lot at
the same price? Go out to meet the
county. Bring the county folks into
your schools and churches.
Beauty is not a thing which you
can incorporate into your city
through an act of the City Council.
1t can come only through the vigil
ance of the public in seeing that each
new public building is monumental
in itself; in educating itself, and in
influencing private enterprises to
consider the best interests of the city
and in careful preservation of the
natural charm of the landscape.

RED CROSS ROLL CALL.

The membership enrolment Of the
American Red Cross opened on Arm
istice Day and will close ThanksgiV-
ing Day. The organization is non
political and non-sectarian, with the
President of the United States as it's
head. Gov. John j. Blaine has is
sued a proclamation relative to the
roll caM for Red Cross membership,
in which he truly states that "the
humanitarian work of the Red Cross
in the past years has been effective
in the relief of the suffering, in pub
lie. health education, in it's aid to ex-
service men and in assisting in the
relief occasioned by disasters
through fire, flood and cyclone" The
call of the Red Cross at this time
should not be regarded as drive for
funds, but rather as an opportunity
to contribute to a fund for commun-
ity work in promoting better condi-
tions, and relieving the distressed
wherever found.

were served and the Pilgrim Daugh-
