GRINDERS ARE
WORKING AGAIN

The wood grinders in the local pa
per mill, which have been idle for
some months due to lack of water for
power purposes, have been started and
pulp is being made and stored for use
during the period when they must a.
gain be idle. More than thirty men
were given employment when it was
found that water power for grinding
was available. New pulp shed and spe-
cial machinery for handling and pill
ing the pulp, which have been installed
during the past season, are now COM
ing into play, and large set of grind
ers has been transferred from Stevens
Point to the local mill. Electrical cur
rent is also being used here from the
other plants of the Consolidated at
Stevens Point and Biron with the plan
of storing pulp enough to forestall
the danger of another slack season
such as last summer was.

ELLIS KRONER
LIKES NEW JOB

Mr.. and Mrs NJ H. Lynn received a
very interesting letter from Ellis Kro-
mer, who is now located at Denver,
Col, in charge of the western agency
for the Van Camps. While the let
ter contains several items of personal
nature, yet there are some parts that
may be published for the information
of his many friends in this community
Mr.. KRONER is very much pleased with
his new position, which gives him q
large territory with a variety of bust
ness interests.
We quote from his letter as follows:
Denver, Col, March II.
My Dear Marve and Ida:
The intention at first was to take
Washington and Oregon away from
this division as they are so far away
but Mr.. Way, the general manager,
decided to let them stay under the
supervision of this office, so that
makes this division as large as any
other in the U. S. VIII tell you the
territory we work out of this office
is Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Utah,
Colorado, New Mexico and part Of
Arizona. We have Is statesmen on
retail trade, and three stenographers
in the office, so you can readily see
that my time is pretty well taken up,
as | have to see that they are all
working to the best advantage.
There is an old saying, IF you are
not in love with your job, don't wor-
ry, some other fellow will soon have
it. | am simply in love with Denver
and the climate MIN sent you the
views of Denver. l am glad of it as
they speak for themselves, and you
can see the beauty much better than
my vocabulary can describe it. The
scenery is simply beyond description.
From Inspiration Point we can see
many, many mountain peaks, includ-
ing Pixies Peak, which is so miles
away and always covered with snow
When | left here ON my trip to the
coast my first stop was at Salt Lake
City, Utah, Brigham Young's town
1t is very beautiful and interesting
city. Was in the Mormon Taberna-
icle, the acoustics in that building are
marvellous; from the extreme end OF
the auditorium enc can hear pin
drop at the other end. It was rly
pleasure to be able to hear a pipe
organ recital there which was wonder.

Seventy-seven deaths and 103 in
juries through fire was the dark rec
ord of the year as far as disclosed by
such clippings, and we are sure many
such news items did not reach US.
Another feature of this slaughter
is that the majority of the unfortun-
ate victims were women and young
children.
1t must be pointed out also that
most of these fires and resulting
deaths and injuries could have been
prevented easily.
When will this slaughter of inno
cents cease? Why use the deadly
coal oil to start or quicken a fire? Why
use or store the deadlier gasoline in
doors? Why permit infants to play
with matches or around stove, crate or
bonfires? Why neglect the heating
plant, smokepipes and chimneys?
Why live or work in isolated build
ings not protected by good lightning
rod? Why be careless in the face of
these frightful penalties Why not
profit by repeated cautions along these
lines?
The answers mean life and death,
not merely loss of property.

From Spokane | went to Seattle,
and the trip through the mountains
was beyond description. We went

great canyons between them. | sure
viii never forget it.
Will make this same trip next June
and will have the extreme pleasure
of having my wife with me to help
enjoy it. 1t will be a regular honey
moon trail. From Seattle went to
Portland. That is a beautiful city.
The rose bushes were just beginning
to leaf out. We went up on a high
elevation, $4,000 feet above the city,
where we saw a wonderful view of
the city and many snow-capped
mountains, including Mt. Hood

Suppose l should tell you some
thing about our business. 1t sure is
coming along fine and dandy. We just
shipped 10000 cases of canned goods
from factory to Baltimore, then by
boat down the Atlantic, through the
Panama Canal and up the Pacific
Coast to Portland and Seattle By
boat we save over $1,000 dollars on
this shipment alone, and the best of
it is my men have it all sold on ar

we are now away ahead of last years

proud Have had many compliment

work, and only hope that it will al
ways keep up. To be successful one
must be sincere. Sincerity is what
makes life worth while Without it
we would have no Business Confidence,
no Faith, and no Incentive to press
on. Life would be a clouded thing.
[ am very happy in my work and

my family and friends proud of my
accomplishment.
The duties which come to each of
US day by day are frequently disposed

There is nothing so pleasant as the

TWO KILLED
IN ACCIDENT

Sunday morning, while a number
of men of the construction crew of the
Biron Mill of the Consolidated Water
Power & Paper Co. were at work
making changes and repairs in the
f1ume and grinder pits at the mill,
the bulkhead gates that held the wa
ter out of the pits gave way for some
unaccountable reason, and the men
were engulfed III raging rush of
water which filled the space in which
they were at work. Two of the men,
Fred Getzlaff and John Shymanski,
were battered to death by timbers or
drowned. The body of Shymanski
was either carried away or pinned
down under the water and has not
yet been recovered. One or two of
the workmen managed to climb to a
safe place in time. The rest were
carried down the stream, clinging to
timbers or swimming to safety, but
all more or less battered in the swift
current.
One of men, Ed Atwood, was said
to have been the worst injured of the
survivors, having been SO long in the
cold water, and been carried SO far
and so battered about that for time
| it was thought that he would not sur
vive. He is reported to be regaining
health at this writing, however.
Since the accident every effort is
being made to recover the body of
tShymanski. It was stated today that
a diver would be put to work as soon
as one could be secured. It is thought
by some of the men who have been
searching the bottom of the channel
THAT the body has been located among
some material in the bottom of the
tail-race. As We go to press nothing
definite is known as to the progress
actually made.

ACROSS THE
bridge AND
IN THIS SIDE

Wendell Phillips once said in one of
his orations against slavery: 'You
think me fanatic, for you read hist
ory, not with your eyes, but with
your prejudices." People read not
only history but the news of the pres
ent, with their pdejudices, in just the
same way.
Let two men address an audience
of ten thousand people in any city of
| this country. Let one of them tell
the crowd the truth, and make his ap-
peal to their reason and to their own
best interests. Let the other appeal
to their prejudices, and present a lot
of lies and distorted half-truths. Nine
Thousand and six hundred of them will
be swayed by their prejudices alone,
and will eagerly believe the lies. The
other four hundred will be led by rea-
son, and yet the 5000 will call them
evil names, and will revile them.

To HOLD SERIES
Of MEETINGS
IN N. T. CHURCH

A series of evangelistic meetings is
to be held in the Methodist Church,
Wisconsin Rapids, beginning April 16
and continuing for four weeks.
1t is hoped that much good will be
accomplished for the whole commun-
ity. 1t is felt by those who are in
charge Of the arrangements for these
meeting that there is need of new
vision of the Christian Life; that the
work of the Kingdom of God languish-
es because of the lack of vital piety
and heroic conservation; and that
there are many of our friends and
neighbors who need to be won to a
deeper fellowship with the Saviour.
With these ends in view, says the
Pastor, Rev. A A. Bennett, we have
planned for these special evangelistic
meetings, and have been giving our
selves more faithfully to prayer and
the study of Gods Word. Meetings
of those interested have been held in
the homes of the people in all parts
of the city since the first week in
February. The attendance at these
meetings has not been large, but the
aggregate has been at least four hum
dred. They have been participated in
by people of nearly every denomina-
tion in the city and have awakened
lively interest. The work has been
done quietly, but effectively, and the
people are looking forward to the spe-
cial meetings with eager anticipation
These preparatory meetings will
continue through the next two weeks,
and every one who believes in prayer
and in Christian fellowship is invit-
ed to join us in seeking the highest
New Testament standard of expert
ence and life, and grace that we may
help others to attain the same"

SLAUGHTER
Of INNOCENTS

The deaths ofthree women employees
in a factory fire at Waupun on March
second again emphasizes the great
danger to human life, and the necess-
ity Of the greatest care.
Although the exit facilities were am
pie three women failed to get beyond
the small room in which they work
ed, perhaps because they 'lost their
heads" which is liable to happen in any
fire.
Such sad events occur not merely
in factories but more often in homes,
the humble cottage as we'll as the
costly mansion.
Through newspaper clippings we
learned that in 1921, in Wisconsin, Is
persons died and suffered burns by
reason of using kerosene to start OF
