WOMEN WILL READ
SHORT PEACE SERMON
O,O0O Clergymen Asked to Per-

Minute Address,
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, November s.-The de-
partment of International co-opera-
ton to prevent war Of the National
League Of Women Voters announced
that it had asked 10000 clergymen of
the nation to permit a woman member
of their congregations to read a
three minute sermon, "A Woman's
Plea for Peace" on Armistice day.
The sermon was prepared by MISS
Ruth Morgan and Mrs. willard
Straight, in cooperation with the
Federal Council of Churches of
Christ in America, which has dis
tributed copies to clergy OF all de-
nominations.
Many churches in Kentucky, Wis
consin, California, Mississippi, Iowa,
Indiana, Ohio and Pennsylvania, 1t
was reported. will permit women to
read the sermon from their pulpits.
Besides advocating American mem
of Justice, the sermon says, in part:
Five years ago the war-torn world
rejoiced at the coming Of peace. We
celebrate that day, but with confess
sions OF failure and sin. We have not
achieved that peace nor realized that
Justice. Deep hatreds and fears abide.
Nations today still compete In pre-
pairing for war. We ask that each
nation be given it's rights, that the
weak be protected against the strong,
and especially that in place Of selfish
greed and savage resort to brute
force, there be q spirit of mutual
good will. each considering the rights
and needs of all.

Sprinkle the Streets.

Charles Hanke expects to start
the sprinkler within few days
for the summer season. Before
it does, there should be some level
ing of the main streets and gut
tiers in order to keep mud holes
from forming after each rain and
after each sprinkling. Last year
the streets were fright and their
condition should by all means be
bettered until the village can lay
concrete on it's main thorough
fares. After the sewers and water
mains and connections are made
concreting should be the next ma
terial move in lettering the exist
ing conditions.

SAYS IT'S SPRING FEVER
Down State Guy Writes Fol-
lowing From Down State
With Overcoat and Ear
Muffs.

Some down-state newspaper guy,
guess it must be Bert Walters on
the Reedsburg Times, maybe,
sends out the following ''pome"
on spring. And he just writes it
last week when evidences of snow
drifts are to be found around on
their main streets.
But it's good to be an optimist,
even if things go wrong. The
Times says:
Although it has been a long
time in materializing, there is no
longer any question about it,
spring is here, and with it has
come that delicious, undefnable
lassitude we call Spring fever"
We know what this is nova
longing to get out in the open,
next to nature and watch the
green grass grow greener, the
birds getting ready for their fam
lily cares and all outdoors taking
on a new lease of life that brings
promise of the warm summer
days.
But in earlier days it wasn't So
Spring was the time of year when
we had to drink nasty decoctions
made from granny's favorite
YARDS, or clean up profuse doses
of sulphur and molasses. Spring
then was a time for body-cleaning
as we'll as house cleaning.
Today in the cities, the pharma-
cies begin their annual displays of
spring tonics but pep is not to be
bought in bottles. Granny was
right, one must needs go to the
woods to find cure for spring
fever. One searches among the
trees, in the fields; one wanders
along the bank of some stream or
looks among the grass and ferns
for the first sign of spring flowers.
And strangely, long before the
first ingredients are found, the
cure for spring fever develops.
When the stroll is completed the
medicine has worked. The cure
for spring fever, is spring" taken
in copious, liberal doses, repeated
at frequent intervals.

CheerfuIneSS.

| like the man who croons a
song when all things seem to go
dead wrong, no matter where he
turns; who laughs when hard luck
hits his trail, when rosetinted
plans all fail and fortune at him
spurns. He takes the blows of I'M
kind fate as tho they hadn't any
weight-they fail to jar his smile;
each blow but seems to lend his
power-they never make him
cringe or Governor change his
happy style. Sad pilgrims on life's
fitful way take courage from this
jay and forward nobly press; they
see him fight with smile of cheer
and dashing down each craven
fear, they take another guess. The
man who finches from the blows
misfortune lands upon his nose
will never cop the prize; he wastes
his time with idle weeps while
the old age upon him creeps and
youthful vigor flies. It's no dis
grace to lose a fight if you but
strive with all your might-come
up with cheerful grin; take profit
from each contest fought and
some day, with a mighty swat,
you'll bust misfortune's elm. Fate
loves to try the souls of men, to
test each Sam and Bob and Ben if
they be gold or dross. The weak
l'lings falter in the test and fail
to do their very best SO fate just
scores a loss. But striving with a
courage grim, though things may
look most awful dim, real fellows
onward peg; they meet the sings
and sharpened darts of fate with
courage in their hearts and vigor
in each leg. They meet each con-
flict with a smile and hum a hap
by anthem while they do their
daily bit; and weary mortals, tired
and wan, perceive that smile and,
pressing on, make trouble hit the

Business Men With Other
Boosters Will Elect New
Officers Tomorrow After
noon.

At the court house tomorrow af-
ternoon at 2 o'clock the annual
meeting of the Resort Owners AS
ISOLATION will be held for the pur-
pose of electing new officers and
transacting business vital to the
recreational possibilities of this
lake region. Also the main fea-
.ture will be the exploiting of an
increased membership among bus
mess men and garage and hotel
men, and the talking over the adj
visibility Of stupendous advertis-
ing of the lake region resources at
the National Outdoor and Travel
Exposition at the Coliseum in Chi
cago in May, 1924.
This years advertising stunts
played up by the Association and
various Individual resorts in this
section, went over big, and those
who attended the exposition are
certain it is the one big event for
publicity.
1t is hoped that Milo E. Weste-
brooke, manager Of the National
Outdoor Exposition will be pres
ent at this meeting, but at time
of going to press nothing definite
has been learned as to his being
here.
The Association now has a
splendid membership and a big
turn out tomorrow will mean
much in next years program for
exploitation of purely recreation
al interests throughout the entire
lake region.
This meeting promises to be
very vital to the resort mans in
terests and a day spent together
will be of value to every concern
