The Young Peoples society of the
Congregational church are preparing a
big rally service for DR.. Brownell,
president of Northland college. This
rally takes the form of public service
Sunday evening at 7:30 to which every
one is invited, not only young people,
but all. The story that DR.. Brownell
has to tell of the pioneers in our own
great state and their struggles for ed
ucation is an extremely moving one,
told by a master.
The Congregational Mems club
will hold it's first meeting of this year
Friday evening at 8o'clock at the home
of the president, Mr.. John Pearson.
President Brownell of Northland college
will speak. Northland college, locat-
ed at Ashland, is doing wonderful and
unduplicated work among the people
of northern Wisconsin, and President
Brownell will have some great tales to
tell. He is peculiarly moving speaker
and should have large audience.
The Hillside creamery caught fire
Sunday morning about 700. The farm
ers were soon called and they responded
and succeeded in saving the building.
At one time it looked as if this would
not be possible, and the men took hold
and moved all the heavy machinery,
churns, watts and other equipment out
of the building. The bucket brigade,
however, succeeded in restricting the
fire to one corner of the building, and
, as soon as the fire was within control
the men again moved the equipment in,
put it in place and made it ready for
use. Meanwhile Mr. Stricken, the con-
tractor from Edgerton, had been mott
| fled to come and take charge of the re-
pairs: he took Mr.. Knapp of the Ed
j gertcn Electrical Appliance company,
and by 4 o'clock the same afternoon
things were in shape so the creamery
could operate. The Hillside farmers
evidently know thing or two about
controlling fire under adverse circum-
stances. 1t is said that Henry Johnson
of Edgerton, who carried the insurance
on the building, had seen to it that the
fire fighters could enjoy Imperial cigars
in recognition of the good work done
