SPECIALIST
HOLD CONFERENCE
At HOLBROOK

Miss Rosa Bouten, Home Demon
stratiOn Agent, and Miss Margaret
O'Neil, Sheppard-Towner nurse held
very successful health conference
in Holbrook Thursday and Friday
and children were in attendance at
the conference for English speaking
people on Thursday and twenty in
fants and children of Spanish speak
ing people were in attendance on
Friday. These conferences are to be
held each month until November. 1t
seems that Miss BOuten and Miss
O'Neil are receiving lots of encour-
agement in their work in Holbrook
and it indicates that the mothers Of
HolbrOok are interested in the well
fare of their children and are an
xiOus to learn all they can about
how to properly care for them.
These ladies held similar conferen-
ces here but did not receive as much
encouragement as they should and
the conferences were not as well at
tended as they have been in Hol-
brook. Was it because we are not
as much concerned about our chill
dren or because We just didn't ap-
preciate the value of the opportun-
ity that was afforded US to obtain
this information and help absOlut-
ely without charge If sufficient
encouragement is given these spe-
Cialists we are confident they would
return for conference here in the
future

GREAT SERMON
DELIVERED BY
DR.. DAN POLLING

The Washington School Auditor
ium was filled on Sunday evening
with an attentive audience to hear
DR.. Daniel A. Polling of New York
City preach the Baccalaureate SER
mon for the Winslow High School,
The people of Winslow had heard
of the eloquence of DR.. Polling and
were expecting a great sermon and
they were not disappointed. Not in
a long time, if ever, has there been
a finer or more inspiring sermon
delivered in Winslow. He held his
audience in papt attention from his
first word to the last. He speaks
with a charm and beauty of diction
that delights every one, and embel-
fishes his sermon with such appro-
pirate illustrations that the listeners
are kept on the alert all the time
to catch every word and sentence.
His text, although not announced as
such, was taken from the Old TeS-
lament and out of the experience Of
the great prophet Elijah-''NOt by
might, nor by power, but by my spi-
rit, saith the Lord of hosts He
emphasized the thought that one can
win success if he wills to do so,
He can who thinks he can" was
quoted again and again. He spoke of
grtat sermon he had once heard in
a larber shop. Some one remarked
after the rich man of the little town
had gone out: Money buys every
thing" The old barber looked over
his glasses and remarked: Every
thing but three things-health, hap
piness heaven" DR.. Polling said he
had never forgotten that sermon and
it had been of great help to him
ever since. He went on to empha-
size the Importance Of a healthy body
as an important asset in achieving
success. He urged the young peo-
pie to take care of their bodies, and
not to waste their physical energies
if they would be successful in life.
He told of how he had seen young
men in the great city Of New York
wasting their bodies by dissipation
by staying up all night and going
to their work the following day and
thinking and saying it did not hurt
them. He said he had seen some
of those same young men fail of sue
cess when the test came because
they had wasted their physical en-
ergies, their bodies. He gave an il
lustration of a college athlete win
ming success over all his competitors
because he had trained and husband
ed his physical energies. But he
emphasized also the proper care
and use of the mind, the spirit. mot
by might, nor by power, but by my
Spirit, saith the Lord of Hosts"
Superintendent Gammage presided
at the service Prayer was offered
by Rev T. E. Elgin, and the Scrip
ture lesson read by Rev. o. L. En-
yeart A quartet composed of MIR.
and Mrs w. L. Martin. Mrs. E. F.
Matthews, and Rev o. L. Enyeart,
under the direction of Miss Miller,
Music Supervisor in the schools,
sang two hymns. The Girls Glee
Club of the High School sang one
number and Rev. w. L. Martin sang
THE Lost Chord" The benedition
was pronounced by Rev. Elgin.

BaJ0e, Guard Needs 800 Mer

Madison-A drive for recruits for
the Wisconsin National Guard IS on
which expected to put 500 new men
on the roster of the guard before il
closes on Dec. l.
This drive is merely to counter
balance the usual slump in ranks
which comes at this period, however,
Adjutant-General Ralph NJ. Immell
said today. Every year it is neces-
sary to offset the number who re-
tire from the guard.
There are now about 4,500 men
enrolled in the state guard. This Is
about 5000 less than were on guard
rolls before the legislature cut the
guard appropriation from approx
mately 100000 to 100000.
Within a short time another drive
will be opened to strengthen other
depleted units, General Immell said.

NEW STATE STATUTES READY
FOR DISTRIBUTION
For Charge of SIS Statutes May Be
Obtained From the Superintendent
of Public Property.

Madison-For the first time in
the history of Wisconsin the state
statutes which contain the entire
general statutes, will be ready for
distribution the same year that the
legislature enacted the latest of the
laws.
The state is one of the few that
revise statutes biennially. The new
copies of the statutes will be in two
volumes, the first to contain the en-
tire general statutes and the second
the index, rules of the supreme
court, rules of the circuit courts,
etc.
The distribution will be through
the superintendent of public pro-
perty and a charge of SIS a set will
be made. There will be $500
copies.
The work of printing the laws has
been greatly speeded up over former
years and the session laws of 1923
were printed and delivered within
SO days after the legislature
adjourned, several months in adj
vance of the time taken in any
former year.
The demand for the session laws
has been so great that an additional
hundred beyond those already order
ed has been reordered by the state
printing board.
