LARGE CLASS
CONFIRMED
NOR. LUTHERAN CHURCH

Twenty-nine Young People
We're Confirmed. Fine Pro-
gram Given.

Last Sunday, May 18th, was q

city, all available chairs were placed
wherever there was a space to place
one; nevertheless seats could not
be provided for all. At ten o'clock
sharp the impressive services be-
gan by very appropriate prelude
on the pipe organ while the twenty
nine confrmants marched in from
the church parlors, the pastor lead
ing. a
The examination covered four
parts of the catechism: The COM
mandments, articles of faith, sacra-
ment of baptism an dthe sacrement
of the altar. Not one Of the con-
firmants failed to answer the ques-
tions and most all answers were
loud enough to be heard by the
whole audience.
Almost Immediately after the con-
firmation act the pantomine "Rock
Of Ages" was given by five girls and
this, together with the solemn act
preceding, made . great impression
on the large audience. The pastor
finally addressed the classes taking
for his text Deut. 4, % "Take heed
unto yourselves, lest ye forget the
covenant of the Lord your God,
which he made with you"
In the afternoon communion was
administered to the confirmants, and
some Of their parents and friends.

HEALTH EXPERIMENT
Claims Are Urged For Nation
Five Year Child Health De-
mOnStratiOn. Has Many
Advantages.

,Wisconsin's reputation ss q.
leader in health movements and as
an experiment field for new ac-
tivities may bring to the state the
child welfare experiment, which is
to be put on by the National Child
Health Council in some American
community as q demonstration for
the nation. The following statement
from a member Of the committee OF.
site has been received by the Wis
consin Anti tuberculosis Associa-
ton, which is urging the claims Of
the state for consideration:
"There would be many advantages
indeed if the town for the demon
stration could be selected in Wiscon-
sin. The splendid work your or
ganization has done throughout the
state would serve as an excellent
basis for perfect health program"
Having as its object the develop
ment Of a well-balanced health pro-
gram in typical American COM
munity selected in securing as near
ly as possible ideal conditions for
the development Of cnildren from
healthy babies into sturdy men and
women. An appropriation Of over
$2OO,OO0 has been made for this
work. A population Of 10000 to
10000 is required in the town to
be selected. SO
The progressiveness and success
of the health program as carried out
in Wisconsin. is pointed out in pre-
senting the claims for the state. The
fact that it has the fifth lowest death
rate from tuberculosis of any state
in the Union is proof of the effective
ness Of its program. Wisconsin is
the Only state IN the country, which
has passed a law making it compul-
sorry for every county to have .

SOME DIFRERENCE

A Washburn boy, who was in
Detroit recently, purchased new
kodak and case from one OF the
Detroit stores. In order to satisfy
himself that he had made > good
purchase he compared values with
one Of the LOCAL stores and to his
surprise learned he could have pur-
chased the same outfit here at a saw
ing of $3.50 on $500 purchase.
Which demonstrates that it pays to
make your purchases in Washburn.

Life In this country Is not going
to be any too interesting II we are
to initiate the former Germany OF

the Car In fearing and suppressing
every thought that is not that OF
the majority.
Hays for Free Speech.
Neither the old Germany nor the
old Russia went much further than
we have gone, under the influence OF
war-psychology, in keeping men IN
rison for their philos?phic and
peaceable opinions.
Mr.. Hays makes It again clear that
as far as he Is concerned, whatever the
Department of Justice may do. the
Postoffice is not going to be used any
longer as an instrument for the sup
preston of thought.
His discussion OF the statutes py
which he is bound is of kind TO take
away all danger from those statutes.
The decision of the Supreme Court ~
the United States in the Milwaukee
Holmes and Brandeis dissented, was
regrettable, but even the majority opin-
ion went no further than to say that
the Postmaster General had the power
TO withdraw the privilege OF second
class distribution If he chose to do so.
It put no obligation on him.
Mr.. Hays says In so many words
that he has no intention OF becoming
a censor. 1t is his egal duty to stop
single issues, II they contain certain
forbidden things, but under him We
may be sure that not again will the
general privilege be withdrawn.
The power of stopping single issues
Is enough. as any newspaper man
knows. Newspaper circulation Is
delicate mechanism, and a postmaster
who stops even one Issue inflicts seri-
Gus damage. II he continues to stop
various issues singly he can easily ds-
stroy a business.
Asks Challenge Of Rulings.
Mr.. Hays is particularly felicitous
In asking the publishing world to help
him see that even this limited and
necessary censorship is not abused.
Possibly the finest thing in his stirring
proclamation is the request that when
ever 1t seems necessary to stop any
issue of any publication the newspa-
pers shall not let the act 60 unchal-
lenged.
The records will be open to them.
There will be no cases like that In
which the New York Nation was TN
able to find out what article II was
that caused Mr.. Burleson to suppress
an issue. II any such step is neces-
sary all the documents and reasons
will be on file, and any newspaper
man will be encouraged to object IL he
feels the suppression was unnecessary.
