years ago lived in this city, passed
away last week. The body was brought
to Edgerton Tuesday and laid to rest in
the Evergreen cemetery at Albion be-
side that of his wife who died several
years ago. MIR. Poole was born May
IL, 1913. He lived with his mother
and sister, Mrs. Henry Miller, around
Utica and Albion. For some years he
worked at the carpenter trade, later
coming to Edgerton where he was in
the employ of T. B. Earle. He was
married at Albion to Mrs. Mary Main,
widow of Stillman Main. They lived
in Edgerton several years, going from
here to Duluth, Mimi, where Mr..
Poole was employed as government
grain Inspector until failing health
obliged him to retire to the quiet of the
home he had built at Duluth.

Men $ Club Elects.

The Men is club of the Congregational
church was entertained by Mr.. Earl
Shaw Friday evening, Jan. e. Preced-
ing the program there was held the an
nual election of officers. The old of
ficers were reelected excepting the
president, J. j. Pearson. and the treas
.urer, w. T. Pomeroy, who both after
long service in the club declined re-
election.
Following the election of officers the
members voted to hold mems supper
at the Congregational church on Wash
ington's birthday, Feb. 20. Atty. G.
w. Blanchard gave an interesting adj
dress on 1.-THE Irish Free State" to a
good audience. After discussing the
subject of the address the host passed
apples and cigars, and another success
full meeting of the Mems club closed.
The newly elected officers are An
drew Mcintosh, president; D. C. Gle,
vice president; A. E. Carey, secretary;
L. j. Dickinson, treasurer. F. j. Holt
was reelected POSTMASTER. The pres
ident will name the program commit
tee. In the resignation of J. j. Pear
son and w. T. Pomeroy, president and
treasurer respectively, the club had
reason to express its appreciation of
long and faithful service. In the case
of Mr.. Pearson we happen to know
that in fourteen years of service he has
missed only one meeting, and that one
for good reasons. Besides his faithful
ness he has furnished never failing
fund of good humor, executive ability
and love of the work which has made
him in every way an ideal president.
Mr.. Pomeroy has been the watchdog of
the treasury, and with the utmost good
nature tended to the duties of his of

or small

Kiwanis.

Fifteen Edgerton men attended the
Kiwanis luncheon given by the James
vile club at Grand hotel week ago.
They all were pleased with the SPLEEN
did entertainment, and brought with
them from the meeting strong impulses
for the organization in Edgerton of a
Kiwanis chapter. The Edgerton dele
cation was introduced by Harry Hag-
CART, chairman of the sponsoring COM
mittee, and Prof John P. Dean Of Be-
lott made brief address setting forth
what the Kiwanis had done for the men
in his city. The idea of the club is to
bring the men of the city together, for
instance, at the lunch hour to eat to-
gether, talk and foster spirit of broad
fellowship, call one another by the in
formal first name, and learn to enjoy
one another's good qualities, and for
get peculiarities which sometimes go
under the name of animosity, jealousy,
suspicion and what not. a broad, man
ly, charitable and liberal attitude one
over toward the other is sign of heart
culture, self control and good breeding
in general, and any organization which
aids in the fostering of such spirit
should be welcomed. We want to play
the game, we want to do it together.
and we want to do it like good sports
in every relation of life. Let us have
a Kiwanis club.

PROCLAMATION,
(By The Associated Press)

Wy Nv aSSoCIAlCu IIcSS'
Washington, July 13.-The execu-
tive proclamation warning against in
reference with movement of inter-
state transportation in connection
with the railroad strike and"particu-
larly against interference with the
United States mails was declared last
night by Samuel Gompers. president
of the American Federation Of Labor,
to be calculated to make a fetish
of the transportation act and of the
railroad labor board"
Referring to the injunction against
interference, Mr.. Gompers' statement
declared that railroad workers who
withdraw their services necessarily
affect this movement of equipment"
THE presidents proclamation" the
statement continued, implies that
the workers have not proceeded in
accordance with the law and in that
in stopping work they have gone out
side Of the law. The fact is that the
law specifically gives to the workers
h right to cease work in the event
that they cannot accept the award Of
the railroad labor board. The f1nd-
ings of the board are not decisions
which must be obeyed. They are
awards which the board hopes both
employers and employees will accept,
blu which neither is bound to accept.
