live stock properly handled turns into
cash. The last year has demonstrated
clearly the wisdom Of mixed farming
based on enough good live stock to
! use up bulky, low priced crops and
waste products that animals alone
can use economically. From every sec
ton of the country comes the same
report; farmers who have kept good
stock as a feature Of the farming sys-
| tenn are best off financially.
Fourth: 1t does not provide an
| economical distribution OF labor nor
| use of machinery, teams and tools.
Fifth. Returns come In one pay
ment. When that n fails, there is
no other to depend upon.
Sixth: Does not supply food to
sustain the worker and his family.
Encourages and necessitates living
out of tin cans.
Seventh: Bad effect on the farm
er himself and his family.
II limits knowledge, tends toward
narrow-mindedness and lack of under
standing of ~humanity's needs. 1t does
not encourage or promote home build
ing or home making.
Diversity in farm business provides
for the maintenance OF soil fertility,
keeps labor constantly employed and
affords a variety Of products to mar
ket. These facts are not hard to I'M
derstand and not many doubt the
of the statements. Some wish
they were not true. General farming
or mixed live stock farming requires
more effort, more knowledge and skill
and a willingness to work steadily in
stead of a few months each ear.
The war prices for grains and direct
products of the soil spoiled farmers.
The going was too easy to last and
now with price slumps, increased
freights and high living costs, the
problem of feeding, clothing and shelf

FORT ATKINSON

This community was greatly shock
ed when the tolling of the bell at the
st. Johns Catholic church last Sat
urday about Oils a. m. announced
the death of Mrs. Adolph Doubek.
Though it was known that the de-
ceased was seriously i'll since Sunday
night or Monday morning, following
the birth of a daughter it was the
sincere hope of her large number of
friends that her youth and strength
would be sufficient TO withstand the
critical illness and this be spared
to those in need of the care and
protection of a loving mother. All
that loving and skillful hands could
do was of no avail and she departed
this life at the hour above stated.
Bertha Sobolik was born in Fort
Atkinson, Oct. 20, 1895, and was at
the time of her death 26 years of
age. November "a, 1914, she was
united in marriage to Adolph nj.

home in our midst. Two children
were born to this union, little SON

much and that our taxes are too
high, and it is equally apparent that
if we are to get any substantial re-

resentation of the circumstances and the
personages surrounding the Saviour's last
hours which would encourage vice or
crime. Mary Magdalene, II is true, was a
woman OF bad character, andyet the proper
presentation OF the whole story Of Mary,
with her final repentance and reformation,
Is uplifting rather than degrading. Nor
could II be considered that the portrayal
OF such a wretched parsonage as old Judas
would tend to incite the young to vice or.
villainy.
And so the Rev. DIR. Harding feels that
what IL known as the william" part In a
play. and even the fallen woman part
in many dramas. might be properly por-
'tiayed in his church theatre and inspire
rather than degrade. II Is, the pastor feels,
OF the greatest importance that the audi.
ence should know that the woman with
vice-marked face and confessions OF moral
laxities, Is really not woman OF the
streets or professional actress who has
had four or Ave husbands, and perhaps as
many others who ought to have been her
husbands. This feeling Of assurance will
be an important force In making the audi.
ence feel safe and secure from demoraliz-
ing Influences.

church theatre undertaking with much
