gave LECTURE:


c. O. Parsons, state chairman for
Minnesota Of the World War Veterans,
spoke to a gathering Of about $50
people at the Princess Hall Tuesday
evening. He and John Rebenstorff,
637 Chestnut St, have been organiz-
ing local Posts of that sasso- alton
through the north part Of the state.
Mr.. Parsons is the man who as. or
ganizer for the Nonpartisan League,
was tarred and featllered by certain
overzealous bat misguided young citi-
zens at Fleetwood, Kansas, last March.
He spoke on the merits of the or
ganization at some length, and his
entire address was heard with much
interest and attention by all present.
The World War Veterans are align
ed with union labor and are strongly
organized among the ex-service men
who reside in mining and other indus
trial centers, he said. They do not
admit to membership any strike break
er or other known opponent of organic
ed labor.

He had lapsed into delirium earlier

Carl Mathie of Wausau, Chairman \
/ of the Wisconsin Committee Of the
Woodrow Wilson Foundation Fund,
has just issued this statement regard
ing the opening of the campaign to
raise S1,o00,O00 or more:
Messages by telephone and tele-
graph indicate that Wisconsin will
generously oversubscribe its quota.
Jefferson County has the honor of
going over the top first, Green Lake
County second. The village of Mosin-
ee has the largest excess over its
quota New Glarus, Green County,
also has the distinction Of going over
the top IN the campaign.
wherever the campaign is under
full sway, splendid results are being
obtained. Everyone interested in the
cause of promoting American ideals
should join in the movement to est
ablish the Woodrow Wilson prize
William j. Kershaw, chairman Of
the Milwaukee County Committee Of
the Foundation Fund, reports that
the results in Milwaukee County have
been gratifying and that additional
subscriptions are coming in daily.
In all parts of the country, the re-
sponse has been enthusiastic and gen
eroqs. The promoters of the move
ment believe that the sum total will
be largely in excess of their fondest
anticipation.
The women, especially, are showing
themselves interested in this great
movement and are giving literally
even the poorest; some donating War
Savings Stamps. One woman gave
800 Liberty Bond.
The Railroad Shop men donated one
thousand dollars to the Fund, and
other labor organizations have prom
ised hearty support.

PLANLARGE
new IHEATER

A day or two after the burning of
the Daily Theater number of business
men Of the city began to discuss plans
for the erection of new show house.
Under the temporary Craftsmanship Of
Lester P. Daniels a meeting was held
at the Wood County National Bank
Sunday afternoon to discuss the mat
ter. The plan contemplated the cree
tion of modern freproof theater
building on the site of the DAILY The
ater. Some investigation looking to-
ward the purchase of additional land
alongside the site was made.
Eearly this week Mr.. Daniels Sc
cured in few hours of canvassing
sufficient promises of stock subscrip-
tions to warrant going further into
the matter. Monday evening it was
decided by the committee to authorize
A. f. Billmeyer, local architect, to
draw plans and make estimates of
costs of Theater building to accom-
nlodate $40 people. 1t is thought
from figures secured regarding other
similar buildings in the state that the
cost of the building will be about $780,
600.
John E. Daily, who owns the site
of the old building, stated that he is
willing to sell the land at very rea-
sonable figure, and will take stock in
the new company in payment therefor.
Further efforts to secure stock sub
scriptions than have been. made will
be postponed until the estimates have
been secured from Mr.. Billmeyer.
The thing is purely business prop
osition and should not be confused
with any proposed Community Hall,
or other ike institution. The Theater
will be used for hire, for theatrical
performances and public addresses and
meetings

RESOLUTION To
Re PRESENTED To
CITY council

The following resolutions Were u
unanimously adopted at a mass meet
ing Of workers held at Princess Hall
Monday evening:
WHEREAS, Many willing workers
of our community are unemployed,
and
WHEREAS, It is our right and
duty to seek measures of relief for
those out of work, therefore
BE IT RESOLVED, in mass meet
ing assembled, that we most respect
fully petition the mayor and common
council of Wisconsin Rapids to ap-
propriate the sum of two thousand
dollars ($2,00o.0o4 for the relief of
the unemployed, and appoint a COM
mi5tee of three toassist the poor COM
missioner in dispensing these funds,
upon the recomme endation of a COM
n1ittee appointed by the Central Labor
Union body, acting as a free employ
ment bureau, reporting every week
upon the unemployed.
Be it also resolved that copies of
these resolutions be given the common
council and the press.
e. A. BoOrman, Chairman
A. C. Otto, Secretary.
1t had been announced that former
Mayor Emil Seidl of Milwaukee would
speak on the unemployment situation
at that time, but Mr.. Seidl was unable
to be present by reason of being snow
bound at Fond du Lac whence he was
compelled to return to Milwaukee.
DR.. C. A. Boorman took charge of
the meeting and gave a short talk.
His theme was that these periods of
depression and unemployment are in
herent in the "capitalistic" organiza-
ton Of society and industry, and he
declared that there are 800 willing
workers out of employment in this
city at the present time.
Alderman j. R. Lynch then spoke,
questioning the accuracy of the state
ment that there are 300 unemployed
in the city and declaring that the
great difficulty with the workers is
that they are apparently Indifferent
to their own intesasts in the way of
seeking measures Of relief. 1t was
his feeling that the unemployed should
have been present to speak for them
selves.
Ernest Hall and the Revs. F. J Oh
son and j. N. Schoechert also gave
short talks on the theme of the meet
ing. The resolution above was then
introduced and G. NJ. Hill moved it's
adoption.

FORM new
P.-T. ASSN.

An East Side Parent Teachers As
sociation was organized here last Fri
day evening with about sixty members
when a large number of parents and
teachers gathered in the Music Room
of the Lincoln High School, and dis
cussed the problems of the parents
and teachers.
E. G. Doudna, city superintendent
of schools, spoke to those present,
bringing out the need of such an or
ganization for the purpose of encour-
aging and helping in solving the prob
lems of the school children, such as
recreation, movies, safety for child
ren on streets and railroad crossings,
vocational guidance and the help of
the library. He also brought out the
coed points of such an organization
in relation to the school and home.
Mrs. L. A. Schall, president of the
West Side Parent Teachers Associa-
ton, gave very interesting talk of
the good work done by their associa-
tion and of the better work which
they hope to accomplish. Mrs. J.
Winden told of the work of the ma
tional association. Rev. Reding and
others also gave short discussions tell
ing of the advantages of such an or
ganization.
At the close of the program. the
following officers were elected for the
coming year: President, Mrs j. Win
den; Vice-President, Mrs. George War
ren; Secretary, Miss Eliza Montgom-
cry; Treasurer, Mrs. A. L. Fontaine.

MENTIONED FOR
BROWNE 'SSEAI

There are signs> that the Harding
Republicans are grooming candidates
IN districts now held by LaFollette
congressman. In the last campaign,
several of the districts were close and
the Conservatives will renew the eff
fort to wrest them away.
George B. Nelson, it is said, will be
brought forward in the Eighth dis
trict, to contest with E. E. Browne,
Waupaca. Nelson, who lives at Stew
ems Point, was formerly a university
regent. For several years Conserva-
tives have made no efforts in the dis
trict, dividing their votes between
Browne and M. G. Eberlein. Shawa1lo,
who have contested several times for
the Observation-Disclosures Journal.
If the above report is true, George
b. Nelson will have considerable of a
fight on his hands to defeat Congress
man Edward E. Browne The present
Eighth Congressional district consists
of the Counties Of Wood, Portage
Waupaca and Waushara. All these
counties gave Edward E. Browne good
majorities over Eberlein at the last
ELECTION. There is no good reason why
Edward E. Browne should not be re-
turned to Congress if he desires to.
Now that the Republicans are in con-
troll he will be able to accomplish more
for his district there than heretofore.
Why make change at this stage of
| the game? Let we'll enough alone.

SFFKLOWER
PRICES On
THE Cement

The struggle which was carried on
so long last year for reduced prices on
Portland cement for use in road con
struction in Wisconsin, is being re-
newed by the State Highway Commits
sion this year. Unless this reduction
IS granted by the manufacturers the
projected concrete work in this county
for this year may be postponed 1t
has been the practice in recent years
of the various County Commissioners
to purchase cement through the state
Commission, thus getting at much
lower price than it could be bought
for otherwise.
The State Commission has asked
for 100000 barrels of cement, and
under the advice of A. R. Hirst, state
Engineer, requested that it
be furnished at $1.35 per barrel. The
manufacturers are asking $160.

HAD FILLED HIGH POSITIONS
Pope Benedict Prominent in Church
CounseIs Before His Elevation
to the PapaI Throne.

Pope Benedict XIV rose to the SUI
preme head OF the Catholic church
Sept. 6, 1914, less than six months
after he was elevated to the cardinal
ship. He was born of noble parents
at Pogli, near Genoa, Italy, Nov. II,
1854. His father was Marquis Della
Chiesa.
Educated at Capronican college and
the Academy of EccleSiaStics, he was
ordained to the priesthood in 1873.
He was taken to Madrid, Spain, by
Cardinal Rampolia, and for four years
was secretary of the nunciature in
Spain. In 1901 he was appointed con-
sultor of the holy Office and in 1907
Pope Plus gave him the appointment
of archbishop of the see of Bologna.
He was made & cardinal in May, 1914.
Pope Benedict was much affected by
the horrors and sorrow of the World
war and many times tried to bring
about peace negotiations. Germany'S
violation of Belgfum's neutrality filled
him with great sorrow and after the
sinking of the Lusitania, he telegraph
ed the German emperor telling his
adherence of the deed.
Pope Benedict's first appeal for
peace was issued one week after his
coronation. The appeal failed to bring
results. as did also his later plan for
Christmas truce. In January and in
July, 1915, he again tried TO bring
about peace negotiations. In March,
1916. he repeated his attempts and In
May of the same year suggested that
America should act as conciliator be-
tween the warning nations. His note
TO President Wilson to this effect
reached Washington when Germany
and the United States were involved
in diDlematic crisis The Vatican ap-
proved of President Wilson's peace
note in 1917. but three months later
the United States entered the war.
The Pope's most memorable appeal
for peace was issued in his own hand
writing ON August s, 1917, and asked
belligerent rulers TO end the struggle.
During the peace conference his pleas
were issued in behalf of weaker ma
tions.
Just before the conference President
| Wilson had private conference with
| Pope Benedict at the Vatican in which
many questions of a social and inter
t national nature were discussed.
The settlement Of the 700-year-old
| Irish problem was received with great
/ pleasure by the pope, who issued q
message congratulating the principals
! in the negotiations.
History of Pope's Illness.
By Professor Battistini, chief medi-
cal adviser of the pope and head OF
the group of physicians attending him
Rome, Jan. 21.-The Holy Fathers
illness began on Tuesday. He at first
! suffered only from slight Inflammation
of the bronchial tubes but unfortunate
ly failed to pay sufficient attention te
it with the result that the illness grad
| ually developed into lung trouble
The infiammatory process was very
rapid so that while at first only the
left lung was affected, It spread TO the
right lung yesterday morning.

Commission SAYS
NO MORE FIRENEN

A joint meeting of aldermen and the
Fire and Police Commission late last
week resulted in decision not to re
commend the increase in the number
of paid firemen in the local depart
rent, as was asked by Fire Chief
Aug. Miller a few days ago. The
Chief wanted the department increas-
ed to ten men. Unless the decision of
the Commission is over-ruled the num-
Der will remain at seven. In lieu of
a volunteer system of auxiliary fire
fighters, the joint meeting voted to al
low the Chief to hire extra men if
needed at any large fires and to pay
them liberal rate for their work.
1t was said that the addition of more
men to the regular deparfrren9 y q
be too great an expense to the city.
1t was practically decided L re- =
mend the purchase Of another motor
truck at a cost Of about $1,000 Tor use
in hauling extra hose and fire fighting
equipment The purchase Of addition
al rubber coats, hats, boots and other
items of fire fighting equipment was
also considered and will probably be
recommended to the Council
The meeting favored the installation
Of fire alarm box system for the
city, which matter will also probably
be considered at the next meeting of
the Council.

the piazza of st. Peters a crowd of
reverent men and women, mostly
kneeling with faces heayenward, ut
tered their supplications for the recOv-
cry of the Holy Father
The four attending physicians did
all in their power to relieve his suffer
ings. but they could hold out no hope
for ultimate recovery The strain was
telling on all. In the anteroom off
the sick chamber high prelates of the
church, faces drawn with the agony
of their sorrow, prayed without ces-
sation.
Suffers Great Pain.
AT s a. m. the Holy Father was still
breathing, but was in great pain and
suffering agoniZed contractions of the
throat. A brief bulletin was issued
saying:

When the pope lost consciousness
late Friday afternoon the attending
physicians did not hesitate in express
ing their fears that death was at hand.
The pope had been sinking all day,
due TO inflammation of the lungs and
weak heart action, but had retained
consciousness. When he sank into a
state of coma, after many hours of
patient suffering, all preparations had
been made and all pre-death ceremo-
Eies completed.
Shortly before noon the Vatican an
nounced that the pontiff had requested
the last sacraments, realizing that he
was dying.
Throughout the afternoon he was
kept alive by use of oxygen and arti
fetal heart stimulants. AT night the
four physicians at the pontifical bed
side administered these resterativeS al

Shortly after noon Mgr. Zampan
