Mrs. William Uren.

Miss Mary Rodda was born at
Jefferson, Wis, Dec. 5, 1853, and
died at the home of her son, Delos
Uren, ON the old homestead in the
town of Waldwick, Sept. 20, 1921, at
the age of '68 years, j9 months and Is
days.
She was anited in marriage to VIM.
N. Uren, Dec. 18, 1874.
During this union twelve children
were born to them-eight sons and
four daughters, of which ten survive
her, two sons having died in infancy.
The Children who remain to mourn
the loss are: Thomas w. Uren of Hol
landale, Mrs George Harker of Valid
wick, Mrs. Nellie Richardson of Bos-
cobel, Mrs. H. Ferrell of Waldwick,
Elmer, Delos, and Matthew D. Uren

Mrs. Edward Perkins of Dodgeville;
and twenty grand children and two
great grandchildren.
While death was expected and it
was known that nothing could be
done to~extend the time of departure,
yet it seemed all too soon for such
life to be taken leaving a place so
hard to fill. She was such a lovable
spirit and active worker, that all who
knew her loved her. Her name will
long remain on the walls of memory
in the church of Waldwick, where
she was lifelong member.
Her presence was always looked
for in the Sunday school, and her
prayer and testimony in the class
meeting were an inspiration to the
faithful and reproof to the erring.
Her visitations in the sick room of
her friends was like refreshing show
ers upon the parching ground, and

through information that has been
gathered representing the experien-
ces of other communities. Advice
and encouragement are gladly given
and all manner of assistance is sent
to communities that have struck
seemingly impossible snags. Besides
this, the extension has done great
deal to encourage the formulation OF
constructive community development
This has been carried out through
supervision in recreational work,
home talent entertainments, parent
teachers associations and lecture
courses. Much community education
al work has also been sdOne through
the visual instruction department.
Educational films and slides are sent
in regular systematic routes to be
shown in small town clubs and in the
public schools.
Correspondence Studies.
The university extension finds its
largest field of work in correspond
ence study teaching. This may be
given in regular correspondence
worker, where the numbers permit,
in groups or local classes. In these
courses there were enrolled up to
July, 1921, over 10000 people.
| Every type of man is included. The
common laborers and professional
men vie in numbers. The courses
are so arranged as to help the col
lege graduate and the foreign born
alike. The subjects are divided
mainly into two types, the vocational
and the cultural. The vocational are
purely practical courses that can be
put to real use by the men who are
taking them. Courses are given that
aid imam in .rut'' to advancement;
to help the farmer understand his
land, his crops, his harvest; to help
the busy housewife tighten her round
of household duties; to teach the
mother what foods are best for her
growing youngsters, to show the bus
mess man how to push on into new
fields and new activities. Then there
are the cultural courses which are ar
ranged not so much to aid in earn
ing the daily bread and butter more
easily, but to make that bread and
butter taste better after it is once OBJ
tanned. Here are found the classics,
!, the drama, music, and the more
broadening of universities studies.
One of the most interesting divisions
is the English department. Here
much work is done with the foreign
er. Through the extension division
he may learn the English language
and in his way quickly assimiIate
American customs and ideals. .

Addition To Badger Creamery

R. J. Ellsworth has completed the
work of enlarging the Badger Cream
cry building. The addition was nee
essary to enable him to properly take

mine, Gratiot, South Wayne, Monroe,
Shullsburg and Shea, with motor
trucks operated out of each station.
The number of pounds of butter
made to date this year at the Badger
Creamery was 275,0OO. 1t is expect
ed that the output of the plant will
reach 100000 pounds of butter by
the end of the year. A new eight
ton Baker Ice machine is now being
installed in the creamery.

(From the Milwaukee JournaD

(From the Milwaukee JournaD
Among the many state organiza-
tions, the one that is most talked of
is the university extension division.
1t lies closer perhaps to ordinary
Wisconsin men and women who are
seeking to better themselves for the
lob that is laid out for them than
any other educational organization
of the state. 1t is one of the most
powerful Americanization organiza
tions that Wisconsin can boast.
The university extension division
stands for service to the individual,
service to the community. 1t is Gre
ated to serve all the people of Wis
consin with educational opportunit-
les which apply to their specific
needs. AS an aid to the individual,
the extension is able to carry on ed
ucation away from the university.
The man who desires to better him
self, either culturally or technically,
needs only to mail his request for en-
rollment in extension work and in a
few DAYS the outlines of course OF
study he desires to take up are deliv-
cred at his door by the postman. He
has at his command a staff of the
states best instructors. The atten-
ton he receives in personal and well
given. 1t makes little difference il
he be a college graduate in Minera
Point or a country youngster living
in the woods of northern Wisconsin
| he receives the same attention anC
the same careful instruction.
Learn While Earning.
An education waits at the thresh
old of every lover of learning
Through work with the extension, di
vision men and women are able t.
work their way toward advancement
to get out of the rut. The most at
tractive part of the work with tn
extension division is that one il
learning while earning" 1t take
care of thousands of people who lon
to better themselves educationally
but do not have the time and none
necessary for university work.
The university extension is no
only a benefit to the individual, bu
it is a benefit to the community, tn
city or state as a whole. In the frs
place it establishes a spirit of COOP
GRAFTON between the citizens of tn
state and university. The breach be
tween the people of state and tn
university is gradually narrowing
The university is regarded as
friend rather than as a suspicion
looking stranger. Next the exten
sion aids the community in helpin
to solve community problem

SAYS he "has SO often out Of Russia that it has

note his arrival at this new conception Of Russian az

White Guard agencies in Paris 1t has been noted that
each time there was likelihood OF the opening OF trade
relations with Russia and tho world new series OF
lies have been promulgated against Russia. Indications
are that these same forces have prepared these latest
eydences of the hatred Of the bourgeois governments
for the first workers government Of the world.

The toiler. [volume] (Cleveland, Ohio) 1919-1922, 1921-03-19

In a last long-drawn out attempt to discredit the
Russian Soyets and the Communist leaders, the capital
ist prostitute press has stirred its ink cans into q
mighty swirl of lies, contradictions and fasefcators
Day after day the most visionary tales of the succmb
ing of the Soviets to the anger of the enraged and
dissllusioned proletarat have been pictured
These wild tales have been hung together by the
msiest threads, easily broken by any one at all con-
versant with the conditions in Russia and the outside
world. Tales, manifestly Of the most brazeny lying
character have been cabled to all parts of the world
Emanations from the White Guard centers of Helsng-
fors, Reval and Paris, all too specious in makeup
contradictory in the extreme, weak to the point of abb
surdty as to definite dates, persons and places have
been smeared in monster brazen lie across front
pages Of thousands Of newspapers.
Any Of these daily reports taken by itself will
reveal half dozen statements which cast upon them
not merely doubt of their truhfuness but forces
conviction Of their unworthiness. "Petrograd is in
flames the reflection being plainly discernbe at Hell
singfors" reads one. Another, "Schrapnel from the
guns of the rebels at Kronsadt broke the ice and 800
Bosheviks troops were drowned" We presume that the
splash plainly visible to Kerensky in Paris! Ths
old tricks Of dsposng of the leaders, Lenin and Trots-
ky by flight have Of course been resorted to.
How many times in three years has this rotten
game been played by esteemed and truthful press
Many times, so many in fact that even the editor Of
