LUTHERANS CREATE
SUNDAY SCHOOL INSTITUTE

The officers and teachers of the
Sunday schools of the English
Lutheran congregations of River
Falls and Ellsworth met at the home
of the pastor one evening last week
and organized parish Sunday
school institute.
Officially the organization will be
know as the English Lutheran Parish
Sunday School Institute of River
Falls and Ellsworth, Wisconsin.
There is not any circuit or dis
trict Lutheran Sunday school associa-
ton here thru which the local schools
can work for the solution of the pro-
blems involved and thus the parish
organization was created. The
general purpose of the institute will
be to arouse interest in Christian
education, to devise means and
methods by which this may be carried
on, and to work for the solution of
the problems pertaining to the Sun
day school.
In order that the purpose of the
larger organization may be realized
it was planned that an institute
meeting will be held at least once a
year and that all the other work will
be dispensed with in its favor. 1t is
intended also that the leaders in
Lutheran Sunday school work will be
secured for the institute meetings.
Offices We're created thru which
the work will be carried on. The
first institute meeting will be held
some time in September.

OLD SETTLERS MEETING

The old settlers meeting held at
Baldwin June 90 was very largely at
tended by citizens from nearly every
town in Sc; Croix county, and Pierce
county was also represented. The
day was an ideal one for gathering
of this kind and the many "old
timers" as well as some middle aged
residents entered into the spirit of
good fellowship and spent very en-
ioyable day here.
The morning program commenced
at about 1880 with a selection
given by the Baldwin band, which
was followed by the invocation By
Rev. J. H. Black.
The address of welcome was made
by Atty. S. Swenumson in few well
chose words. This was followed by
a solo by Rev. H. P. Nordby. After
this the speaker of the day, Judge
Walter C. Owen of the Supreme
Court, who is well known by large
number of our readers, delivered q
very interesting and eloquent address,
speaking briefly in regards to the
early days of the pioneers of Wis
consin and of this locality. He also
spoke on the Judicial form of our
government and more especially OF
the courts in Wisconsin.

would be at loss to translate it him.

velope there shorld be printed an
easily read address to insure either
its delivery or its return to the
sender.
People are also careless about in
structing their postmaster of change
of address. When leaving point
where one has been receiving mail
regularly the postoffice should be
notified, otherwise it is ones own
fault if his mail is delayed, or pos
slbly returned to the sender.
Another annoyance which causes
postal delay is the habit of address

on discharging five or six men who

NATIONAL GUARD NOTES

A try out was held by Lieut..
Phillips the first of the week, and
several of the drivers have been Sc
lected who will pilot the trucks
through to Camp Douglas. The rest
will be selected this week or early
next week.
Regular drills on Monday and
Wednesday nights between now and
the Both. There are a number of
rough edges which Capt. White is
anxious to have polished off before
he leads the company past the re-
viewing stand at Camp Douglas on
Governors Day, and SO he's starting
to do some polishing at home.
Three men were discharged last
week. Privates George A. Nelson
an Ernest A. Bake were discharged
on account of expiration Of their
emil fment periods, and Private
Earl M. Nelson was discharged upon
authority of Special Order from the
Adjutant Generals Office.
Authority has been given capt.
White to purchase gasoline and oil
necessary for the use of the trucks
in driving overland to Camp Douglas,
and he has made arrangements to
purchase the same from the High
Grade Oil Co., where "Bob" Dumond
works "Bob" is one of the oldest
members of our company and Capt.
White says that when anything
purchased for the company hereafte"
preference will be given to members
of the organization and employers
of company members.
Lieut.. Weber is enjoying weeks
leave of absence on camping trip
up the st. Croix River. He will be
with us again next week.
Capt. White has called extra drills
on July 18th, 18th, and 25th, in order
that the organization may have time
to get everything in tiP-top shape
before entraining for the encamp-
ment on the 30th.
On Monday evening 1st Lieut.
Charles j. Phillips gave very in

could not be done.

could not be done.
That the farmers can't cooperate
is not so nearly tree. In almost
every state of the Union farmers are,
and for years have been, co-operat-
ing successfully.
In this state a few elevators and
several hundred cheese factories and
creameries are being run by farmers
at a good profit. But these fac
tories were not started by men who
thought it could not be done, but by
men who were so busy doing that
they had no time to spend thinking
it could not be done.
However, the fact is that farmers
do not trust farmers. One big
reason they cannot get together and
stay together is that each thinks it
is not himself but the rest of the
farmers who have not sense enough
stick together.
IF each man would take care of
his own case and do as he Knows he
should, all would be taken care Of.
The success or failure of any plan to
make better prices or better condi-
tions for the farmers rests on the in
dividual farmers. If each one does
his share, success is practically GER
tain. If each one leaves everything
for "the others" to do, failure is
absolutely certain.
Any man who knows he cannot
be depended on to "stick" may be ex-
cused for thinking and saying that
farmers won't stick together. He
knows the fact and he knows the
reason.
1t need not be always true that
farmers will not "stick together"
There was time when labor WOULD
rot stick together. That time has
rassed. Low wages, long hours
strikes that failed and unsatisfact-
ely working conditions taught them
a hard lesson and taught them to
stick.
The farmers have been hard hit
hut perhaps not hard enough. They
have not been hard enough Lit, if
they have not learned that they must
organize, or stay on the losing end.
Legislation may help little. but
only organization and putting farm
ing on a business basis will make
it possible for farmers to get a fair
return for their work and their pro
ducts.

FARMERS HAVE NO FAITH
IN FARMERS, SAYS PEABODY
BY N. r. Peabody

About the most common thing we
run against in the Farm Bureau
Membership Drive is the farmers
lack of faith in farmers. They say
Farmers can't stick together" or
"Y>I can't organize farmers" or
Farmers can't cooperate"
There is to much truth in it.
The proof of it lies in the fact that
farmers are today about the poorest
paid class of laborers. If they were
organized and if tx did stick to-
gether, they could and would Ct
as much for their work as do the
average union laborers.
Just as long as many farmers
think they can't stick together, they
cant,-for the simple reason that
they do not expect to and do not
really try to. If something should
happen during the night to make
every farmer wake up in the morning
with the idea that farmers can stick
together, they could The first thing
necessary to success is to really be-
ieve you can 'ucceed. The surest
way to fell is to believe you are
going to fail.
