JAMES MONTGOMERY, FOR
40 YEARS A LEADER,
GIVES TALK

Forty years of continuous Christian
service was celebrated last Sunday at
ternoon and evening at the Mary Poor
Memorial chapel of the Presbyterian
church. The anniver sary, the climax
of a successful period of building and
growth was observed by congrega-
ton of members of the Mary Poor
chapel and the home church that filled
the edifice to capacity, including both
the auditorium and the Sunday school
room to the side.
Particularly impressive it was to
have so many steadfaSt workers in
the Mary Poor Memorial Schapel
through nearly half century of ex-
istence, present.
First Address
The program in the afternoon COM
menced with song service and an
announcement of the event by Darwin
Kischel, superintendent of the chapel's
Sunday school, who became affiliated
with the institution in 1892. The ad-
dress of welcome was made by the
Rev. Mr.. Parker, of Athens. Rev.
Parker said he would never forget
his pleasant associations with the peo-
pie of Mary Poor Memorial chapel,

Grouped on the rostrum were many
prominent church workers, several of
them connected intimately with the
home church and by ties of service
bound to Mary Poor Memorial. Among
the number were Darwin Kischel, the
Rev. S. n Wilson, the Rev. Parker,
the Rev. F. w. Eastwood, the Rev.
A. F. Perkins, Mrs. S. M. Quaw, James
Montgomery, Arson Clark, Brayton E.
Smith, H. G. Flieth, and B. A. Benson.
Music Numbers
After Mr.. Parker's brief address. the
primary and junior departments rem
dered hymns separately and they sang
several other numbers during the pro-
gram. The girls choir of the home
church rendered two very fine num-
bers.
Five minute talks were made by all
those on the rostrum. Rev. Eastwood
declared that he would not care to be
pastor of the Wausau church without
chapels. Many leaders have been de-
veloped in this, the Mary Poor Memo
rial," he said 1T is this fact, the
training of leaders in chapels, that
has given the Presbyterian church of

added the fact that the strong evan

ems the church and that it is a great
influence for Americanism.
The Rev. Wilson, now of Stevens
Point, reminisced his relations with
the Memorial chapel. He spoke feel
ingly of the progress of the chapel,
it's growth, and in conclusion, said
that although he had retired, he felt
it a great privilege to be able to
assist at Stevens Point and Marsh
field as he has been doing the past
year.
Brief Talks
Brief but inspirational talks, all
dealing with the accomplishments of
Mary Poor Memorial and inviting the
congregation to bigger achievements
in the future, were given by Mrs. S. M.
Quaw, Anson Clark, HI. G. Flieth, Mrs.
B. A. Benson and others. James
Montgomery, who was given the final
say, delivered an address which was
the heart of the anniversary observ-
ance.
How much Mary Poor Memorial has
meant to Mr. Montgomery is proved
by his unfailing devotion to that in
stitution since it's foundation. All
members of the chapel know him and
feel an affection for him that only is
developed after long years of patient
service. Mr.. Montgomery has taught
bible classes at Mary Poor through
out the period of its existence.
"The number forty is significant
number in the Bible, and is frequent
ly used, nearly thirty times" said Mr..

ADJ. GEN. HOLWAY
FORMER RESIDENT
TO BE RETIRED HAVING
REACHED Ga ON
4
OCTOBER A

AdJutant General Orlando Holway,
who has occupied that official position
in the state of Wisconsin since Octo-
Der 1st, 1913, will be automatically
retired under the law when he reached
the age of "a, on October 4th. Adj.
Gen. Holway was a former resident of
Wausau and will be remembered by
many of the older settlers of this
community for his early connection
with Company G, the Wisconsin Ma
tional Guards, in Wausau during the
eighties.
Asks Retention
From The Milwaukee journal, the
following is quoted:
1t has been suggested to Gov. Blaine
that while under the law, Gen. Holway
is placed on the inactive list, it is
within the power of the governor to
order him to active duty Immediately
after retirement and again place him
in charge of the adjutant generals de-
partment. Pressure lie being brought
to have this done, it is said.
Col Williams personally has not
made any effort to obtain the appoint
ment, but Thirty-second division men
have continued to put forward his
name. An effort was recently made to
induce Maj. Fred C. Best, vice pdesi-
dent Of the First Wisconsin Trust Co.,
to become candidate, but he refused,
and said that he favored appointment
of COL Williams, If new adjutant
general is to be selected
Want Politics Barred
Present and former members of the
national guard are interested chiefly
in keeping politics out Of the appoint
ment. II has been the boast Of Wis
consin guardsmen for years that this
state has led the Union in efficiency
and training, and this fact has been
largely due, they say, to the absence
of political influence.
Leading members of the guard said
Friday that q majority of its members
would be satisfied with the retention
OF Gen. Holway, or men like Col. Will
liams or Col. Salsman, who have seen
years Of service with Wisconsin troops
+ Gen. Holway has long record of
splendid service with Wisconsin SOL
diers. He enlisted as a private at
Wausau in 1882 In 1889 he was adju-
tant of the Third regiment and during
the Spanish-American war served as
captain in Porto Rico. Upon the
retirement of Gen. G. r. Boardman in
1913, he was made adjutant general
The guard was mobilized for service
on the Mexican border under his di-
rection. When it was apparent that
America would enter the World war,
Gen. Holway was one of the few adju-
tant generals of the United States who
realized the importance of prepara-
tion.
Got Equipment for Men
Through his efforts, the Wisconsin
National guard was increased within
few months from about 1000 men to
more than 10000 contribution two
thirds of the strength of the Thirty
second division.
! Gen. Holway obtained complete uni
forms and equipment for all of these
men, and Wisconsin troops were al
most the only ones in the United
Statse who reached the government
training camps in military garb, and
to large extent fully armed.
Prior to his appointment as adju-
tant general, Gen. Holway lived in La
Crosse.

OCTOBER 4 TO 8 IS
PARTRIDGE SEASON
COUNTY CLERK KUHLMANN
HAS ISSUED 1900
LICENSES

The week to come, October 4th to
Sth included, will be the worst ever in
this city without doubt. OF late, try
ing to locate men who love hunting
has been a big job, sometimes an i'm
possible one. But now comes the par
fridge season. After being closed for
a couple of years, four days are al
lowed this year with bag limit of
five each day.
Another Rush
). The office of County Clerk Edw. H.
Kuhlmann has been the scene of great
activity these several weeks. Sports
man after sportsman has come to get
his license. All have gone away hap
py, secure in the belief that they
would bag "the limit" on some one of
their trips around the country. Up to
Wednesday about 1900 licenses had
been isued but it was anticipated that
there would be another rush on the
clerks office on Saturday and Monday,
just before the partride season COM
mences.
Many of our hunters have found the
marshes just south of the city good
hunting grounds for ducks There are
reported to Ee large fiocks in that vi
,cinity. Others have gone into the
eastern part of the county where hunt
ing is reported to be fair.
Will Go North
4 During the partridge season it is
:surmised that many hunters will don
their heavy clothes, pack their lunches
and motor north where that wild fowl
is reported to be plentiful. Especial
Ny in the lake region, fifty to 100 miles
north of this city, are partridges re-
ported to be found in big numbers.

each book is read by a number of peo.
pie before II is returned In addition
to this host of readers, an average of
four hundred books leave the state
capitol each week, bound for commun-
tiles in all parts of the state.
These figures, given out by Mrs.

ment Of county farm agent who
wrote! our people are hungry for

Another reason for the popularity
cf the travelling libraries is that there
is no expense connected with the serv.

tors small community buildings and
other places where people are well
