Dearest Hazel +:

dearest Hazel:
Dreadful things have been happen
ing here since l last wrote to you.
That Harry Richmond came over
from the coast, in his motorboat the
day after the steamer left. He seemed
anxious to be affable, but l soon put
him in his place. Thereupon he told
me that he had bought the island and
that was trespassing upon his prop
erty. l only looked at him scornful-
ly, and he shrivelled up. Presently
he so far recovered himself as to tell
me that he had not written to me
about it because he wanted me to be
his guest here. Affectionately,
. "Adelaide."
Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1921-06-02
my Dear Hazel:

II don't know if you will ever get
this letter, for the most terrible thing
has occurred Harry Richmond came
back yesterday and told me that the
boat was not going to run any more
this season, now that the island is
private property. He offered to sup
ply me with provisions as long as l
wanted to stay. I told him that /
would leave at once if he would kind
ly place his motorboat at my disposal.
oh, Hazel, / hesitate to tell you
what he said, but I must set it down
to relieve myself He said that his
fee would be a kiss and that he loved
me and had always loved me, and
that was why he had let me come to
the island alone after warning away
Grace and all the other members of
the Spinster's club How l hate men
Lovingly,
Adelaide.
"P. S. The wretch is back again
and has just asked me if 1 will accept
his conditions. Then he suddenly
changed and fell down on his knees
He was so ahject that I almost pitied
him. He is not a bad-looking young
man, and of quite good family. You
know the Richmonds Of Livingston?
He is one Of them, and understand he
knows. Aunt Emma quite Well.-A."

To the Editor of "St. Crojg AVlS."
Dear Sir-It appears to US that the
bandstand has been converted into a
public play ground for children, Now.
nobody objects to anyone going IN there
and sitting on the benches in an orderly
manner, when the stand is not being
used for the purpose it was built for,
or in the event of rain, but we object to
this: Some of the children are seen
climbin on the rails, and walking on the
benches, which last is certainly very
annoying to the musicians, who complain
that several times dirt has been found on
the top of the benches, left there by the
Children's Shoes. They also pull the
benches about, which gives unnecessary
work to the bandmen IN having to put
the benches back in their places for con-
cert purpose.
If the bandstand is to be treated in
this way, the beauty of this excellent
piece Of native workmanship will soon
be spoiled. This matter should be looked
into, as the bandstand was built for the
accommodation of the bands, so that we
could have better music etc. We politely
call the attention of those in charge OF
the children to this fact, and hope that
it won't be necessary to write on this sub
iect again.
Respectfully,
MUSICIANS.

government bureau for the extension
and expansion OF foreign trade was
sponsored by J. Walter Drake. Of De-
troit in an address today before the
national foreign trade council in an
nual convention here. 1lr Drake said
in part:
The weakest point in Americas in
dustrial development is foreign trade.
1t is unfortunately true that relatively
only a small proportion Of American
producers have realized the vital ma
ture Of foreign sales as a balance
wheel for domestic trade. The result
Of this has been that in natioanl way
this country has not developed an es-
tablished foreign trade policy.
THE business can no more contin-
ne without government participation
tnan could a private business abolish
the sales organization when the sea
sons output has been sold and trust to
finding a new market each year for
its product without sales service and
effort. There must be a single depart
ment OF the government in charge OF
all foreign trade service. There
should be established government
training academy which would rank
with West Point and Annapolis, to be
devoted exclusively to the preparation
and education of men for the govern
ment foreign service.
To-day. as we face the competition
Of European countries for the foreign
market Of the future, which to them
means almost life and death in their
national existence. it is impossible to
ignore the perilous situation in which
this country finds itself in respect OF
the organization and equipment de-
imanded in such competition.
There is only one way in which this
situation can be corrected. \ proper
and adequate organization of the gov
ernmcnt service is vital and, if neces-
sary such bread general measure put
on the statute books as will serve as
basis tor full and complete organ
ization of all government activities in
foreign trade

THE devil is working 1865 days a year;

In an interview with the United Pres4
The young rabbi. who recently stir

he declared "our social environment is

"shc devils" summed up present con-
dltions as follows,
Religion may be regarded as prac-
tically failure, unless II gets down
off its pedestal and mingles with the
people on 4 common ground.
The church must be liberated and
humanized, and its representatives
must preach less along dOctrinal and
theological lines and more upon every
day life.
'reoplc are turning away from the
church because II Is TOO undemocratic.
and because it lives too much IN past
centuries. rather than the present.
"Clean ana wholesome pleasures
and recreations should be encouraged
by the church. The people are going
to dance. play cards and attend the
movies anyway, so why not give them
these things with the sanction and su-
pervision of the church,
Rabbi Eiseman declared there Is but
