Waldo Frank is one Of our younger
worcestershire writer's, as far removed
from the Victorian age, with whose
literature some Of rs still daily, as
from the age Of Pericles. He seems
obsessed with sex, a true Freudian,
But he has way Of expressing emo
ton, Of picturing place and its many
vibrant life, that is astounding. Naz-
areth, the town in Holiday" is real,
luminous. 1t is like a moving pic
ture and indeed l believe this younger
generation is much influenced in its
writings by the swift, vivid photo
graphs Of the movies. Here, as in no
other book written for many years we
have the atmosphere Of the South, its
warmth, its sky, "naked-white,@ its
earth. "red-naked," its dark people,
"the color of the dusk on the shadow
ed road,' its log cabins, the shadowy
spaces of its woods. its stirred souls
carrying through the night where the
skys blare is hushed, luminous
music" Against the black world, is
an ugly white world, Grass, common.
And from out it comes a white woman,
daughter Of the chief business man OF
the place, who for a time holds our
interest and sympathy.
There has been and will be endless
discussion and much anathema around
this volume. 1t dares to recite the at
traction that a colored man has for a
white woman. This attraction ends
with the destruction Of the colored
man and in heartlessness on the part

.DRIVERLESS CAR
ATTRACTS MUCH
ATTENTION HERE
Berkeley Chevrolet Sales Co. Pats
On a Novel Display Auto Which
Runs Alone

A Chevrolet truck running around
the street without driver attracted
much attention on Third avenue, Mon
day afternoon, during the giving away
Of the gifts by Baraboo merchants.
The machine was designated as a
radio truck, the wireless apparently
being one solution to the mystery Of
it's operation, and many of those who
stopped to gaze wore dumbfounded
expression.
The exhibition was put on by the
Berkeley Chevrolet Sales Co. of this
city and was unique, as well clever
Iy bringing out the fact 'that the
Chevrolet is so easy to drive it runs
alone"
The car kept almost the exact cir
Gle at which it started, just the width
of the street, and continued to run at
an even pace for some time.

REV. SAVAGE To
LEAVE BARABO0
Minister Goes TO Pontiac, Mich
gar as Seen as Successor Is Sc
cured

Rev. H H. Savage, pastor Of the
First Baptist church Of this city for
the past three years, has accepted j
call to the pastorate of the First
Baptist church Of Pontiac, Mich. Mr..
Savage's resignation here will take
effect just as soon as suitable sue
cessor can be secured.
Since coming to Baraboo, Mr.. Saw
age has nearly doubled the member
ship of the church and the other de-
partments of the church have grown
hayev been made on the church prop
erty such that it is now one Of the
best arranged church plants in the
city. Not only has Mr.. Savage done
the most aggressive work that has
ever been accomplished by the Bap-
fist people in this community, bu: lie
has also held positions of leadership
in many other departments OF church
work. At the present time he is pres
ident of the Baraboo Minister asso-
citation; vice president of the Baraboo
Valley Ministerial association; sed-
rotary of the Baraboo church fedora
ton; member of the board of mana
gers of the Wisconsin Baptist State
convention; member Of the state
missions committee; and is also an
evangelist and Bible conference
speaker of note.
Mr. Savage will perhaps be remem-
bered in Baraboo the longest because
of the crowds that have surrounded
him on the bank corner every Satur-
day night during the summer. These
open air services have attracted hun
dreds and will not soon be forgotten.
He will also be remembered because
OF his opposition to the theory Of
evolution; speaking convincingly
along this line whenever opportunity
was pres ented.
The going Of Mr.. Savage to Pontiac
will be a distinct loss to BarabOo but
will be a great opportunity for the
Baptist cause in Michigan. The
church at Pontiac reports a member
ship of 1888 and so offers a great OPP
portunity for q capable leader A
