Step TAKEN TO
ERECT MEMORIAL
Board of Park Commissioners
Win Place Bronze Tablet AT
Entrance to Athletic Field

At meeting of the Board Of Park
commissioners it was agreed that
there should be erected memorial
at the entrance of the new athletic
field on Second avenue and that
such memorial be in memory of all
Of the boys who participated in the
World War from the city Of Baraboo.
A. C. Clas, architect of Milwaukee,
has been employed to make the nee
essary plans and specifications for
such memorial. The structure is to
and ornamented with Bedford stone.
This memorial is to cost approximate
ly $1500OO. A tablet of bronze is to be
fastened to the center of the mem
orial and will include the names of all
of the soldier boys in raised letters.
1t is estimated that there will be over
two hundred of such names.
OF rourse, every man, woman and
child in the city will take a deep in
terest in this memorial and every
person in the city should not only
have personal, but also financial
interest in this matter. 1t was, there
fore, agreed that the expense of this
memorial should be raised by pub
lie subscription and that everybody
in the city shall have an opportunity
to contribute toward the expense OF
this memorial.
Many cities in the state Of Wis
consin have already erected lasting
monuments in memory of the boys
who sacrificed their health and lives
to establish peace and democracy on
earth. There can be no more fitting
place than the entrance of the MarS
Rountree- Evans memorial athletic
field, nor can there be more appro-
pirate time than the present to erect
such a memorial.
The board of park commissioners
pray that they may have the undivid-
ed aid of all of the people in the city
to speedily carry out the proposed
scheme.

Autumn and Mother
BY HAROLD BALDWIN
Warner Memorial Road, Baraboo

A nobe-fall leafed tree is like mother
Made beauteous by the stress Of womans years.
From graceful saping swayed by wind and weather;
slender, dear caprice of joy and tears,
To strong and straight 'gainst storm of womanhood
The peril and the pain of giving life;
The abnegation for her loved ones good;
The shelt'ring tree; the helpmee mother, wife,
Till gracious of families is she;
stately lady lovely to behold;
Unselfsh love has made for all to
tree of goodness crowned with Autumn's gold,

Friends Surprise Mrs. Lewis Mar
tin In Honor of Event AT Home
On Baraboo Bluffs
PIONEERS PRESENT RECALL.
ARRIVAL OF NEWLYWEDS
Couple Came To Baraboo by Rail
And Spent Month With Sister
in-Law of Bride

Fifty years ago Wednesday Mrs
! Lewis Martin came as a bride to re
side on her farm near Devils Lake
To her surprise Wednesday afternoon
some fifty old time neighbors and
friends invaded her pleasant homt
bringing well laden baskets and gifts
in honor Of the occasion
With Mrs. Charles Pettingil at the
organ the visitors sang, "Auld Lang
Syne" then Jessie Bassett, the little
granddaughter recited the poem ooh
Fifty Years Ago to a Day"
Next Mrs. Paul Herfort, who lived
on Skill farm fifty years ago ant
has always been a close friend of
Mrs. Martin told how as a child she
emembered the news going round
that Lewis Martin had gone to Wau-
kesha to get his bride About a month
later she heard that the bride had
come. So she and her sister Mrs.
Coughlin went down to see the new
neighbor. In those days young peo-
pie were very, very scarce, and
brides rarest of all. Mrs. Herfort re,
membered in particular that Mrs
Martin coming from the city had
such pretty clothes. She took the
girls up stairs and showed them all
her pretty things which she had
hanging from the rafters of the log
cabin. Since then a strong friend
ship had grown between them, Mrs
Martin had been a good neighbor and
true friend.
In recalling fifty years ago Mrs
Martin said she came to Baraboo b,
rail and spent one month at the home
Of her sister-in-law, Mrs. August
Steinke, just east of the lake. Then
her husband borrowed a horse and
wagon and brought her to the farm.
But she said she was very angry on
arrival to find all the farm consisted
of was little garden spot, the rest
was stumps, brush, rocks and woods.
She felt like walking back a-foot to
Wauesha. Anyhow she wouldn't live
in the shack and her husband swas
forced to build new log cabin IL
the meantime they lived in the
Hazeltine Tavern.
Mrs. N. F. Sherman, dear silver
haired lady, spoke Of the sterling
qualities of Mrs. Martin That she as
a pioneer had been monument
builder. Coming to this rough wild
erness she had built herself a monL
ment in the shape Of beautiful farm
and home. Here she reared her fam
lily in spite of great difficulties. Mrs
Sherman said the Martins built be-
ter than they knew for Devils Lake
like jewel rare, dropped from the
oceans casket there" had brought a
market to their very door.
Mrs. Sherman urged that Home
Sweet Home" be sung every time we
sing America" because the pioneers
of America were home seekers.
Mrs. Henry Mertzke after speaking
of the high esteem and love the
neighborhood had for Mrs. Martin
presented her with several gifts as
momen+es of the occasion.
TIE younger ladies then served a
delicious picnic lunch
Among the older pioneers who were
present were Mrs John Marquardt,
Mr.. and Ms. Henry Jesse, Mr.. and
Mrs. N. F. Sherman. Mrs. Angus
steinke, Mrs. Ed Meyers. Mrs. H. G.
Mertzke, Mrs. Henry Bfttrick, Mrs.

sense in it. The big and suecessful
business usually does its work eff

eases It makes its profit, not by rob-

such . business can usually afford to

WEALTH
AND SERVICE

One of the greatest problems which
the country has to solve is the ques-
ton Of great aggregations Of wealth.
These great accumulations are often
regarded as a menace. Yet if right
" used, they can be Of tremendous
benefit to the people.
In his address to the Massachusetts,
Senate in 1914, Mr.. Coolidge gave
some helpful suggestions on this point.
He said: "It may be that the foster
ing and protection of large aggrega-
tions of wealth, are the only founda-
tion on which to build the prosperity
of the whole people. Large profits
mean large pay-rolls."
