Farm Bureau Federation for ma

EARN women in numbers are be-

"The farm women who have
awakened to their own possibilities

ION WISCONSIN"
Evansville Does a Fine Thing.

Still another beauty spot is being
added to southern Wisconsin. Sew
eral communities in that region have
recently established public parks and
at least two of them have taken ad-
vantage of the existence of natural
basins and sources of water supply
to create artificial lakes.
Now Evansville, in Rock county,
is Transforming Sc acres of land ad-
joining it's public park into a real
lake. 1t is the site of an old mill
pond and it will be a considerable
body of water, as lake that covers
Sc acres means shore line of some
thing like one and half miles.
Evansville's lake will give oppor-
tunity for rowing, padding, swim
ming and fishing in summer and
skating and other sports in winter.
In every way it will be boon to the
community and it is sure to attract
the attention and excite the praise Of
visitors.
Evansville has financed the pur-
chase of the land and the work of
making lake of it by selling mu-
nicipal bonds to the extent of $2O,-
600. This is a purpose for which
bonds may we'll be issued The lake
will be permanent, it will no doubt
endure forever, and it is very proper
that the expense should be spread
over a period of years.
Southern Wisconsin, with it's roll
ing prairies, it's almost mountainous
hills, it's winding rivers and it's many
valleys, is region of rare natural
beauty. However, it lacks lakes
not wholly, of course, but quite no.
ticeably in comparison with most
other sections of the state. At least
three communities in that region
have created or are creating artificial
lakes. This is a very effective and
practicable way of enhancing the
beauty of any region.
1t is most desirable thing that
many another community may do to
it's own great advantage. 1t should
be borne in mind, however, that this
is building for the future as well as
providing for the present, hence land
acquired for artificial lakes and pub
lie parks should be adequate in area.

Father Talmadge S. J., at st.
Paul'S.

On the second Sunday of October,
Father Talmadge S. j., of Marquette
University, Diocean Director of the
Holy Name Society was at st. Paul's
church to assist Father O'Reilly.
A branch of the Holy Name Society
was organized during the mission
held last year at ST. Paul's with
about one hundred members, all of
whom during the last year have been
most active and devoted to the cause.
On Sunday all the members receiv-
ed Holy communion in a body, and
after the Mass, breakfast was served
by the ladies in the parish hall. FIR.
Talmadge then addressed the men on
the great work that is being accom-
plished by the members of the Holy
Name Society through the world in
promoting reverence for the name of
God, and the lessening of unclean
conversation. At the close of the
last Mass, the beautiful new banner
was blessed and a number of new
members received. A splendid SER
mon was then delivered in which
the great needs of the present day
were portrayed and the remedy for
their correction, THAT the people

Bounty for Killing Rats.

Plattevil1e Journal: The city
council has just pasted an ordinance
providing for bounty of 5 cents
each on rats. It will be recalled that
at the time Assemblyman Weitten-
hitler presented bill before the leg
islature, which was made a law,
much sport was given to the "Rat"
bill. Now his home city is offering
a bounty of cents per rat. Platte
vile is not the first city in the state
to enact a "rat campaign" and is far
behind in towns, cities and villages
throughout the u. S. on their ex-
termination.

From The Monroe County Democrat,
October IL.
Rev. w. G.. Horn is Ordained
Sunday.
Impressive Ceremony Takes Place at
Episcopal Church, Sparta, Rt.
Rev. Bishop Webb, of Mil
Waukee Officiating.

rev. walter George Horn, deacon
in-charge Of the Episcopal parish
here, was formally ordained to the
Holy Order of Priesthood in the Epis-
copal church by the Right Reverend
William Walter Webb, bishop of Mil
waukee, at the Episcopal church in
this city last Sunday morning.
The Reverend F. P. O. Reed of
Chippewa Falls, former rector of
Father Horns home parish at Min
eral Point, preached the sermon and
made the address to the ordinand
Venerable VIM. H. Wolfe, Archdea
con of Milwaukee, read the Litany
and presented the candidate for or
dination
The church, which was filled to
capacity by the parishioners and
other friends of Father Horn, was
beautifully deacorated with autumn
flowers. The clergy were robed in
the Trinity season vestments of
green, and the full vested choir add
ed to the impressiveness of the SER
vice.
The order of the services was as
follows:
Professional Hymn, Sermon, Pre-
face and call, Hymn, Presentation of
Candidate, Litany, Introit, Mass to
end of Gospel, Examination of Can
didate, Bishop bids to silent prayer,
Veni Creator, Prayer, Imposition of
Hands, Vesting and Delivery of Chal-
ice and Bible, Nicene Greed, Offertory
Mass to end, Recessional Hymn.
The order Of the procession was:
Crucifer followed by Choir, Ordin-
and, Archdeacon Father Reed, Serv-
ers, Bishop robed in full Eucharistic
Vestments with Mitre.
After the service a noon dinner
was served at the Hotel Sidney to the
clergy and out of town guests.
FIR. Horn first came to Sparta more
than a year ago, while still student
at the seminary at Milwaukee, he
came to conduct services occasionally
on Sunday. About a year ago, be-
fore he had finished his work as a
student, at the request of the mem
bers of the local Episcopal congrega-
ti1n, he~was invited to make his per-
manent residence here and was ap-
pointed as deacon-in-charge. FIR.
Horns pastorate here has met with
marked success. He has taken a
very deep interest in his congregation
and also in the cummunity. His
congregation has been constantly in
creasing in numbers under his guild
ance and where for time services
were held only On occasional Sum
days, now regular services are held
and participated in by an enthusiast
ic congregation. His work as mas
ter of the Boy Scouts Of the city has
had a splendid effect on the young
lads Of that organization and endear-
ed him to them and to their parents.
The members of his congregation
and the people of Sparta in general
will congratulate him on his ordina-
tion into the Holy Priesthood and
wish him the fullest measure of sue
cess in his unselfish work in the vine
| yard Of the Lord.

NEED OF SUPPLEMENTAL
SCHOOLS.

Nearly everywhere is need OF pub
lie night schools to supplement the
day schools. Earnest young people
who have been compelled to quit
school in order to go to work should
be given opportunities to acquire
knowledge by attending what is
termed supplemental schools or night
schools. Instead of continually de-
CRYING the frivolities of the age, 1T
were wisdom on the part of citizens
of every community to provide
young men and young women with
school advantages which will draw
them from pastimes that do not
make for advancement in life.
Touching upon this subject, the Mil
waukee Journal says:
In Philadelphia the public night
schools have had to refuse admission
to applicants because their capacity
could not be further stretched. From
other cities comes the report OF more
persons than ever before eager to
take advantage Of what might be
called the extra or supplemental
school facilities. University eXten-
sion work, both direct and through
correspondence courses is increasing,
night schools are constantly being
opened in new territory, continual
tion schools are finding themselves
busy all over the country providing
schooling to a class of pupils which
formerly dropped school on going to
work.
All of this spells aspiration, an
earnest desire for betterment. Often
no doubt the principal aim is an in
crease Of earning power. But this is
not the answer to all this thirst for
knowledge. Many students want to
know more about the world they live
in: they want to know new and bet
ter processes of doing the ordinary
work of life, from housekeeping to
running a small business. And a de-
mand is reported for real geography
courses, proving an interest no doubt
stimulated by the World War and
our constant drawing closer to other
parts of the earth.
Every bit of this aspiration is an
asset. And whatever solid, earnest
work is put in means a people better
instructed in living, finding a great
cer interest in life, with more re-
sources for their spare time and
more satisfaction in their work.
Would it not be we'll for the people
of Mineral Point to take serious
thought Gof the question whether or
mot the young people of the city who
are deprived of the privilege of at
tending daysschoofs are given the en-
couragement that they should be CIV
en- to fit themselves flor good, intelli-
gent citizenship?
The holding Of a supplemental
school or schools in Mineral Point
would benefit not only young people
of the city but would doubtless at
tract young people from the sur
rounding country as well. In these
days Of easy and rapid travel, dis
tance does not count.
