Photo Play, ''The Shining Light

The majestic, sublime photo play,
1.-The Shining Light" as the life of
Christ given in ST. Mary's hall last
week Wednesday afternoon and even
ing drew large audiences. Mrs T.. F.
Keefe furnished the excellent and
much appreciated music for this Won
derful drama which portrayed the
beautiful sacred life of Christ and
the selfish expediency of the high
priest Caiaphas, who for fear of los
ing his political power had Christ
crucified and also the selfish exped-
iency of the men and women who
might have defended him, but were
afraid of losing their social prestige
and be left out of the charmed circle
by correcting the conventional false
hoods and that it might be presump-
tious for them to set themselves
against the moral will of the major
ity. 1t is the same in our social
world and politics nowadays. Selfish
eXpediency ruins the moral tone of
many and will inevitably result in
their ruin.

Fourth Grade Pupils Visit
Library.

Miss O'Dowd with her pupils re-
Gently spent an hour in the public Ii
brary. These children have organ
lied reading club and are working
to earn diplomas of the State Read
ing Circle. The time was spent in
learning how the catalog enables one
to find certain book; by learning
about books on different subjects,
and by different authors. The pupils
showed very enthusiastic and sin
cere spirit in their work. Some have
already earned their diplomas.
1t is encouraging that the schools
are giving such hearty support to the
efforts Of those in charge of the State
Reading Circle. The child thus train
ed to read and to enjoy the really
good books will be able later to know
the difference between what is good
and what is trashy.

(From The Milwaukee Journal)
With the Wisconsin Editors.

How to tell a wolf from fox was
the important question settled at a
debate between Joe He'll and Val +.
Rath in the courthouse up at Ackley,
so we learn from that veracious
chronicler of the doings of Langlade
county, Will C. Brawley, editor OF
The Amigo Herald. Well let Will
tell it in his own words:
Hell is some huntsman and ap-
piled for the bounty on a gray fox's
pelt, which is presented to view,
when the argus-eyed dispenser OF
bounties intimated that it was the
pelt of wolf
No, no." said Joe. Don't you
know a wolf, Val? That's a fox
We'll, now, here, Joe, don't you
see that tail? That's a wolf. And
don't you know that there's a $40
bounty on a wolf and only $4 on a
fox?'
Yes, guess it's wolf, Val!
"And Val made out the order on
County Treasurer Callahan fo- a
VOLTS bounty-and the debate broke

The Eternal Light.

A photo play given in ST. Mary's
hall, Wednesday, March 18th. First
of all the name given the play is at
tractive, and in order to show my re-
gard for it, l will write these lines.
1t showed Christ's life from the An
nunciation to Mary on thru his child
hood, on thru his life of sorrow, suf-
fering death and triumph over the
grave. Then on to Bethany where
he ascended into heaven, to prepare
a place for who so ever will - fol-
low him, / cannot help but think, as
l recall it to mind to follow Jesus
literally means, for us, sorrow, suf-
fering and burden-bearing for each
other. We will not turn an erring
one aside, but will lift higher the
Eternal Light that the one at fault
will be drawn back again. AS five
churches we should think of oursei-
yes as one star, each representing
one point thereof, all working har-
moniously and unitedly toward one
objective, "The Bringing in of
Christ's Kingdom" We could so love
and follow our Savior that we would
fairly shine out into the city and
world, "A Star in the West, refiec-
tion of the Star in the East. In unity
there is strength. Let's so lift "The
Eternal Light" that He will draw all
Mineral Pointers unto Him. Then it
will not be asked of us: Where is
thy brother" and we will not ask:
Am l my brothers keeper.

THURSDAY, MARCH %, 1922
FORWARD, MINERAL POINT.

The well attended and interesting
meetings of the Mineral Point Com
mercial Club augurs well for the fu-
ture of the city, and country around
about. The interest taken indicates
a realization Of the fact that if we
are to go forward, intelligent, united
effort must be made towards that
end. The Club may be said to be on
a good, working basis, and questions
of vital interest to the community are
being taken up and considered with
commendable earnestness. And this
is as it should be. If we are to pros
per as a community, there must be
earnestness and unity Of effort in
every public undertaking. Jealous
les and petty rivalries must give
place to efforts for the general well
fare. Mineral Point is a substantial
town-a good town. 1t can be made
better and more prosperous by a
unity of purpose on the part of it's
citizens. A residence of very many
years, has endeared the place and the
people to the writer, and his chief
ambition is to aid in advancing the
interests of the community. 1t was
Former Postmaster General Will H.
Hays who, in a recent address said
that he would rather love his friends,
and be loved by them, than to have
all the wealth in the world. This is
indeed right thought and right
sentiment. Aiding and rejoicing in
the prosperity of ones home town
and the people therein is the strong
est evidence that can be given of
rightness OF mind and of heart. Let
there be enthusiastic meetings of
city and country folk in the Club
rooms for the discussion of matters
concerning the advancement Of city
and country alike. And when, on
special occasions, a larger gathering
place is required, let our fine Munich
pal Theatre be devoted to the pur
pose Discussions that have already
been carried on are leading to action
in many directions, including road
improvement, advancement of our
dairy interests, greater protection
cleaner and more beautiful.

Heavy Trucks Destroy Roads.

The Platteville Witness, March IS:
The Highway authorities should

by heavy trucks to our roads.
Thousands of dollars have been ex-
pended by the State, County and the
various towns and cities, not speak

be taken at an early day to prevent
wholesale destruction of our roads by
these heavy trucks.
