Churches, an organization with which
30 denominations having an adult
membership of more than 20,000,00
persons are affiliated.
The meeting will be under the au-
spices of the Commission on Inter
national Justice and Good Will of the
Federal Council of Churches.
The object of the conference, ac-
cording to the announcement Is to give
an opportunity to study international
affairs from the Christian viewpoint
somewhat as they are discussed from
the economic and political side. In
their discussion, however, the church
men will not leave out the political
and economic effect of international
relations.
THE meeting is the outcome of the
growing interest and activity on the
part of the churches in international
affairs" the Federal Council Of
Churches has asserted. Churches were
credited by the late President Hard
ing and Secretary of State Hughes
with having played big part IN
molding public opinion in support of
the action of the Washington confer
ence on limitation of armament. The
Federal Council of Churches led in
the fight for the United States to en-.
ter the permanent court of interna-
tional justice through resolutions pre-
scented to President Harding and Sec
rotary Hughes more than a year ago."
Among those who will make up the
faculty for the conference will be
George w. Wickersham, former attor.
ney general of the United States, who
will discuss what the League of Ma

president of Vassar; DR.. Sidney L.

the Near East during the peace con-
ference at Versailles, and who has
recently returned to this country from
the Lausanne conference.

THEY EAT BERRIES
Presidential Party at San Francisco
Likes Fruit.
By L. c. OWEN.

Copyright by The San Antonio Light.
San Francisco, Cal, Aug. 4.-Hail
to the raspberry! 1t nov has become
the national fruit. No longer can
getting tn eraspberry" be a term of
slangish concern.
California raspberries, raw and with
out cream, are being consumed BY the
quart. the crate and almost by the car
load as members of the presidential
party satisfy their craving for berries.
President Harding has become as
much a devotee of the raspberry as
the Others. For two days he could
have only raspberry juice, but he has
made UP for lost time in the last "a
hours when doctors allowed him his
first solid food since he arrived. Mrs.
Harding likes 'em likewise. She eats
them at every meal. Three members
of the cabinet who are here demand
them three times day and sometimes
between meals. The only exception is
Secretary Hoover who prefers fresh
huckleberry pie.
Phillips Roemer, chef at the Palace
Hotel, who disclosed today the over
whelming penchant of the President
and his party for red raspberries told
another deep, dark, gastonomic secret :
General Sawyer, personal physical to
the President, has not lost his appe-
tite for crao meat. even though the
nations chief executive was allegedly
poisoned by such food.
1.-The general, DIR. Sawyer, fear
not the crab which make the Mistaire
Presidente sick" said Phillips. Just
today he send down for crab salad,
fried chickenand bacon. peas and hash
brown potatoes. Also for the raspber-
ries. He has the large appetite for
the small man and like the crab meat
every day."

ANNEX FOR RIVERSIDE.

To meet the needs of a rapidly
growing Sunday school membership,

done during the last few years. en-
largment of the church plant will be-
come imperative, the Rev. Mr.. Hern-

METHODIST PASTORS

Methodist conferences in all parts
of Wisconsin, including the Milwau-
kee district, raised salaries of their
pastors during 1922. The total in
crease in Milwaukee district was
$4,000.
"As a whole, the report is en-
couraging and indicates the high
favor in which the ministry and the
church are held" said Dr.. E. Robb
Earring, editor of The Northwestern
Christian Advocate, in publishing the
results of survey made by that
publication.

GUARD CRIPPLED
Ii FUNDS DROP

The Wisconsin National guard will
be forced to muster out of service
a large numebr of it's individual units
if the legislature decides to reduce
its appropriation to 100000, as in
dicated by members of the joint fin
ance committee, the adjutant gener
ais office pointed out Monday.
Hearing on the requested appro-
priation of the adjutant general will
be continued until the bills provid-
ing for abolition of the guard are
disposed of, the joint finance CONT
mittee of the legislature announced
Monday. The budget of the states
military department was scheduled to
be heard Tuesday.
While the adjutant general is pre-
pared to suggest reduction Of more
than 100000 from the budget re-
quest of 100000 annually originally
made, it is believed certain that the
committee will make further slashes
in the appropriation.
The national defense act passed by
congress in June, 1920, requires that
the Wisconsin guard by next June
include 8,775- men. At present it Is
approximately 600. To maintain
this number is costing the state
100000 annually, and continuance
of that amount is again asked by the
adjutant general.
Would Lose U. S. Aid
Federal aid is granted to the state
for military purposes on condition
that its requirements be met. This
aid includes all uniforms and equip
ment, animals, forage, pay for arm
DRY drill, camp pay for officers and
two-thirds of the pay of the enlisted
men, rations while in camp, construe-
tion of rifle ranges, transportation to
and from camp and pay of caretakers

HISTORY OF PRESCOTT FERRY

The Prescott Tribune of last week
contained very interesting history
of the now abandoned Prescott ferry,
which had been in operation at that
point since Prescott was known as the
Mouth of the ST. Croix."
The historian states that the
"Niouth of the st. Croix" from 1889
to 1851 was in charge of a man by
the name of Joseph Mosier He oper-
ated a "dug-out" ferry for foot pas
sengers, charging 10 cents for the
crossing, land no extra if the log
rolled over and dumped its occupants
in the water"
The frat Prescott ferry license
was issued at Ellsworth to Messrs.
Philester Felt and Horace Lovejoy,
who had taken possession in 1853.
Lovejoy sold out to VIM. Crippen, who
in turn sold to Mr.. Felt. Felt opera
ted the ferry until 1865, when L. P.
Whitconb took charge. The rates
then were: foot passenger, sc; mule
or cow, Csc; single horse and buggy
35c; team, soc.
In 1874, after Mr.. Dibble of Min
nesota bought out Mr.. Whitcomb's
interest and procured Minnesota IL
cense, competition appeared when
John T. Crippen, with a Wisconsin Ii
cense, also put boat into the bust
ness. The two boats would park"
i'll the center of the lake, and then
make race for it when fare APP
peared on either bank. This feature
was eliminated when the two went in
to partnership, under management
of Crippen. Dibble then bought out
Cfippen. At this time the ferry was
operated on cable and motive power
was supplied by attaching wooden
hook and walking from front to back
while pulling on the hook. When the
operator reached the end of the ferry
he rushed to the bow, repeating the
operation until the shore was reached.
Dibble's son, Mike, ran the ferry
for some time, and ives succeeded by
Davis MrGill, and he, in turn by Mike
Wrinkle.
With the coming of the railroad to
Prescott in 1885 the ferry property
was bought by A. o. Barnum. The
following year he sold it to Levi Coon
who ran it until 1901, when DR.. Il.
| C. Cotton took possession.
Frank X. Ravens then took con-
troll, and installed gas engine to
rropel it. In 1906 Mr.. Ravens sold
to Morris James. In 1909 James
sold out to Chas r. Page, who re-
manned in possession until in 1920.
The Tribune historian could not re-
cali the name of the next owner,
which he says, sounded something
like Anastosios G. Gianoulopoulis. :
"a. G. G." sold out in 1921 to Joseph
L. Neinstadt, and he to Harry and
Lawrence Lorntson in and Chas. j.
Eckert in the same year. The last
named were the owners when the
new interstate bridge was completed
| last November and probably forever
did away with the ferry business at
| Prescott.

The adjutant general points out
that il is within the power of the
war department to withdraw all this
aid if the state does not comply with
the requirements established by con-
gress.
Prior to the war the state guard
was maintaining three regiments of
infantry, a troop of cavalry and a
battery. Companies were allowed
$500 a year for rent, light and heat
of armory and SIS man for clothing
expenses, which could be used to help
out on other expenses. This organ
ization was kept up at cost of APP
proximately s275,OOO year.
Maintenance Costs Rise
With the higher costs of equip
ment and of rentals it is said the
present organization could not be
supported on such allowance. The
legislature, however, is inclined to re-
duce expenses despite any action the
federal government may take, If ex-
