The Aeroplane

| tell you what we're going to do
This very sunny day
We're going to ride an aeroplane
And travel far away.
Now see them strap us in real tight
To hold us here quite snug.
And now the wheel begins to spin
Here goes our little tug.
Oh, oh, the noise, l cannot speak!
Our wings they flip and flop.
And now we've turned somer-
sault!
Down, down, we seem TO drop.
Up, up, again clear to the sky.
| believe Wen go right through.
We're sailing now above the clouds
Just as the brides do.
And now our ship comes back to
land
We jump with all our might,
For Mother dear is waiting here.
To know about our flight.

Captain Cornell University Football
Team. 1918
You can never play football If
you can't tackle.
There are several methods OF
tackling, but the general princi-
pie remains the same, hit hard and
low.
To get man down, you must
first get him off his feet. II you
hit him above the waist he may
keep his feet and get away from
you. If you don't hit hard he may
brush you Off Or, if you do get
hold of him, but do not hit hard,
you will be dragged over many val
liable yards before you can get him
down.
Always hit your man just above
the knees. 1t is illegal and uncer-
tain for you to hit him below the
knees.
Advance rapidly at the runner
and dive at his thighs. 1t is not
necessary nor desired that your
feet leave the ground before you
reach the man. Keep your body
as straight as possible and keep
your head in front of the runners
legs Grab both his legs and hold
on.
The point | wish to emphasize is
this: Drive into your man as hard
as you possibly can, hit him low
and hold on tight. To do all this
is not so dangerous as it is to wait
for the runner to hit you first. If
you are going to tackle, do it fear
lessly.

NOT WANTED

Many prominent women of Hunting
ton, West Virginia, have been victim
lied by new game. A woman called
at the exclusive homes of the city TAX
ing orders for special kind of cor
set. She took her customers meas
ures very carefully and collected half
the purchase price as a deposit.
The corsets failed to arrive or
time; and finally the purchasers be-
came suspicious and started an in
vestigation. They were much embar-
assed when they found out that the
saleslady had not been one of their
own sex at all but man masquerade
ing as woman. Of course it is a diff
ficult matter to talk about; and con-
sequently they will probably never
recover their money.

Of Harry Messer, brother-in-law of
w. d. Connor and r. Connor, which
occurred in Milwaukee at the home Of
Mr.. Messer's sister, Mrs. Robert Hack
ney. Mrs. Messer was formerly Miss

who is associated with the Wadham
Oil company, with Offices in Seattle,
had been east for the past few weeks
on business trip. Death occurred
some time during the night or early
morning Monday or Tuesday. He re-
tired Monday evening saying he felt
slightly indisposed. Tuesday morning,
when he failed to appear for breakfast
his sister, Mrs. Hackney, believing
that he was sleeping late, did not dis
surb him. Toward noon she knocked
on his door and entered. Mr.. Messer
was dead The funeral will be held
in Milwaukee Monday, where inter
ment will be made.
Mr. and Mrs. Messer were both well
known to Marshfeld people, and lived
for a time at Laona, where Mr.. Messer
was associated with the Connor Lum-
Der and Land Company. They moved
west several years ago. Besides Mrs.
Messer, one daughter, Ellen survives.

Senator Watson, of Indiana: But
I wish to call the attention of my
friends on the Democratic side to this
proposition During the war. from
the night the declaration was voted on
the 9th of April, 1917, until armistice
day, not one single political speech

ate. On the Republican side, both in
the House and in the Senate, we sup
ported your measures with greater
unanimity than You supported them
yourselves, because u per cent of all

great war measures, while but 81 PEI
cent of the Democratic votes were
cast in their favor All over this Re

PRESIDENT
PUBLIC AND
THE STRIKE

The President may appeal to the
people TO uphold the railway labor
board in it's present controversy with
the railway labor unions.
This is the report from Washington.
It seems incredible. The people can
| do nothing. They are unorganized. A
million organized men have more pow
er at Washington, for instance, than
the other 99,000,000. That has been
proved.
The only way the people can or
ganize for national action is through
congressional campaigns every two
years and presidential campaigns ev-
cry four years. They so organized in
1920 and chose Mr.. Harding and his
party associates to represent and act
for them in Washington. Therefore
in the matter of a railway strike to-
day or a coal strike next Spring, there
can be no way for the people in gen
eral to act except through the Presi-
uCiiI anu
If the President and Congress do not
set, the people are helpless. If the
strike comes, they can only sit still and
suffer.
1t is common statement that there
are three parties to the railway con-
troversy-railways, unions and the
public. To be exact, the statement
should be that the three parties are
railways, unions and the federal gov
ernment.
The public, or people are represent
I'd by the federal government and car
act for the present only through the
federal government.
What follows? That instead of the
administrations appealing to the peo-
ole to act for it, the administration
should act for the people. That is
what it is there for That is what it
was elected for.
There is no way of passing back the
responsibility To try to do so would
be only to waste time, and there is
no time to waste.
Unless the federal government and
its railway labor board can act effect
ively, the public simply drops out of
The controversy and the strike is left
20 be settled by main strength between
the unions and the railways.
That fact is unpleasant to every
body, but it is a fact just the same.
We hope Mr.. Harding will act upon
it, and not appeal to the public, for
the public can do nothing, except thru
1im-Examiner.

At a Meeting Held for the Purpose of
Re-OrganiZing the Chamber of
Commerce, Chas. F. Kellogg
Was Elected its Head

The reorganization of the Cham
Der of Commerce for the City of Wis
consin Rapids, with Chas. F. Kellogg
as the new President is a splendid
move in the right direction. It will in
ITSELF give every one confidence. The
election of as good Secretary, will
complete the organization, and place
them where united community back
of them will accomplish results. You
must have competent men at the head
of any organization if you expect re-
suits. We now know the Chamber of
Commerce is we'll started This organ
ization can be made very effectual and
useful to the city as whole and to
the manufacturing plants who are al
ready here and need help and assist
ance. Let's all unite together and
help the new organization to become
a useful instrument in the hands of
the community for PROGRESS.

PASSING ON Of
MRS. JtLIADENIS

In the death of Mrs. Julia Denis
Wisconsin Rapids, loses one Of her
best christian mothers. She was an
ideal woman and mother. Highly re-
spected, and greatly beloved by every
one who enjoyed her acquaintance.
Even tempered, genial, gracious, smil-
ing and long suffering in her bearing
towards others. We have known her
for fifty years and never knew her
to be any other way than the same
sweet christian disposition woman dur
ing all these years. She has passed
on to her heavenly reward which she
certainly deserves. She died at 10:30
o'clock Friday morning, October 21,
1921, at the home of her son at Ne
koosa Death came to her after a
short illness caused by complica
ton of ailments brought on by old age.
She was rs years of age at the time
of her death.
Mrs. Julia C. Denis was born in
Pittsfeld, Ohio, on May 9, 1916 where
she received her education, and later
taught in several schools in that
state. She came to Wisconsin in 1861
settling at Oxford with her parents
later going to Seneca where she
taught school.
On December 26, 1865, she was mar
ried to Onizine Denis, river pilot of
Centralia and they came directly
to this city to make their home. To
sheir union four children, two daugh-
ters and two sons were born. Both
daughters preceded their mother IN
death They were Mary Denis and
Mrs. Charles Smith, Mr.. Denis died
July 19, 1919. She is survived by two
sons, Walter of Port Arthur, Canada,
and Sidney, who is prominent drug
gist at Nekoosa. Also by two grand
sons, Leslie Smith, government
chemist at Washington, D. c., and
Kenneth Smith of Chicago.
Mrs. Denis has resided for the past
| .wo years with her sen at Nekoosa,
1ut until her change Of residence she
| had been one of Wisconsin Rapids
most honored women, fine christian
'haracter, active in the affairs of the
| Congregational church and the aid So
| iety of which she was one Of the old
st members, having taken part in its
lffairs for fifty years.
She has taken an interest in many
| ivic affairs and was one of the per-
sons who has been responsible for the
maintenance and upkeep of Forest Hill
Cemetery, many times spending her
,wn money and time to look after the
l. .fairs of the cemetery.
| The funeral service took place on
/ Monday afternoon from the Congre-
rational church, Rev. N j. Breed Of
fciating. The floral offerings were
Imany and beautiful and bespeak the
| love and esteem in which she was held
by her many friends and neighbors.
1t can be truthfully said that in the
passing on of Mrs. Denis that Wis
consin Rapids loses one of the lovli-
est christian characters.
