Helping the Farmer.

How to help the farmer is the
question agitating our politicians
at present. The only remedy they
suggest is a more extensive sys-
tenn of rural credits. Help him to
borrow money? The Lord knows
that the average deserving and
hardworking farmer finds no diff
ficulty in borrowing all the money
he needs-but he finds it mighty
hard to pay it back. The farmer
wants to be informed not how he
can get INTO debt, but how he
can get OUT of debt. To get out
of debt he must get good prices
for his products. Help him to
get good prices and the problem
is solved.

CHURCH NOTES
Congregational


Unusual interest was centered
in the proceedings of the Congre-
gational church last Sunday. A
special service had been announc-
ed for the morning at which
special speaking and music was
to be given. The reorganized
young peoples choir sang and
Casper Walstad played "Andante
Religioso" by Haydn as a violin
solo. The special speaker was
Rev. j. T. McCollum ID. ID. of
Chicago. Mr.. McCollum is field
secretary of the Congregational
building society with supervision
of Is states. In view of the eX-
pected early construction of a
new church by the local congre-
cation, Mr.. McCollum directed
his address to the qualifications
of a modern and suitable as well
as an enthusiastically perfect
church edifice.
In the afternoon Mr.. McCollum
met the several officers of the
church and went over plans of
construction and raising of f.
nances.
The Earnest Workers on Tues
day afternoon had a special meet
ing at the home of the president,
Mrs. Bonner, at which the re-
ports and returns of the little
apron" drive were given.
This was a most enthusiastic
meeting, the rooms filed to over
flowing with ladies. About four
o'clock a lady wearing a large
cardboard apron made her appear
ance. The apron was white with
columns marked Sent Return
ed" Amount" written at their
tops. AS each lady was called
her figures were placed in the
proper columns and added. Two
such aprons were needed TO hold
the figures and the total amount
of money received was very near
to $4,000.

ball boys played Birnamwood at
Birnamwood. The game was
Eagle Rivers right from the
start, altho the BirnamwoOd boys
put up a good speedy game. The
offensive work of the locals was
more snappy than ever in spite
of the fact that they have had
only one practice within the last
month. Their defensive was not
so good and will have to be inn
proved before we go to the tour
nament. The Birnamwood boys
succeeded in getting % points
which is more than they should
have gotten. However, they were
incapable of holding down our
local, Wizard Belongy," VIII
made 30 of the 81 points for
Eagle River. The game was clean
throughout and Mr.. Cannon, the
referee, gave us a good square
deal The boys were entertained
at the homes of the players where
they were royalty treated and
fed so the trip was enjoyed by
all.
