of the state to ask the pastors of all
denominations in the state to bring be-
fore their audiences, the Sunday be-
fore the 27, something of the character
and the services of the great Ameri-
can General; to have the various SOL
der organizations, born of the Civil,
Spanish American and the World Wars
unite in having on the eventful day
general public meeting, with suitable
music, and two or three addresses by
the best local talent, in all the cities;
to have share of the last meeting, be-
fore the 9th, in all Grand Army Posts
in the state, devoted to talks by mem
bers about the old leader, who led the
American army and navy to success
in the Great Civil War.
The committee is confident that the
public spirited, patriotic press of Wis
consin will readily consent to do its
share to render the observance of the
day success in the good, patriotic
state of Wisconsin, hence the commi-
tee asks all of the papers of Wiscon-
sin to publish the above at as early
day as they can. That service will be
keenly appreciated, not only by the
committee, but by every Northern sol
der who served in the Civil War who
resides in Wisconsin.
Thanking the editors and publishers
in the state in advance for their SER
vice in this worthy undertaking, we
remain
Very respectfully,

Sunday morning at 8 o'clock at Riv-

Mrs. Zeaman was a daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Chas. Podawiltz and was
born in Wiscosnin Rapids November
6, 1878 where she grew up and re-
viewed her education
On January 16, 1893 she was unit
ed in marriage to Frank A. Zeaman

EVENING SCHOOL.
CLOSES YEAR

The Wisconsin Rapids Evening
School closed March 16 after the most
successful year in its history. The to-
tai enrolment was 315, including $50
men end 165 women, and the average
attendance for the year was 87.7 per
cent.
The exceptional record made by the
local school is in remarkable contrast
to the records made by most cities of
the size of Wisconsin Rapids through
out the state. Statistics show the av-
erage enrolment for cities of this size
for the school year 1922 to be from
so to $50, and with a very low attend
ance rate
w. A. Sprise, director of vocational
education, who has guided the work
of the local high school, states that in
his opinion the reason for the big en-
rollment and heavy attendance here
was the practical nature of the work
given and the fact that every class
was handled by a specialist in the
particular line of work taken UP.
Competent instructors were secured
in every case and no instructor was
required to handle work with which
he was not thoroughly familiar.

FOR ALBORIV

A pardon is being sought for E. R.
Alborn Of Marshfeld, who was con-
victed in circuit court in Waushara
County last fall on a charge of issu-
ing worthless checks. He is the same
man who was acquitted on similar
charges here last week.
Judge Park appointed Attorney A
j. Crowns to write the pardon board
in Alborn's behalf It developed in the
trial here that Alborn had simply
overdrawn his account at the Fen
wood State Bank with the consent of
the cashier of that institution, who
was handling drafts against cars of
stock which Alborn had bought and
shipped Alborn has sold all his prop
erty and is making the checks good as
fast as he can. He lacks about $500
of covering them all at present but
promises to make them good as rapid
ly as he can.
