PROPOSE PARK
NEAR skillet
CREEK FALLS

At the home OF Mr.. and Mrs.
G. w Davies, recently William
Toole addressed the, members OF
the Skillet Creek Farmers club
on the prospects of converting a
section Of the property near Skill
let Falls into a park. Mr.. Toole
said his first acquaintance with the
falls at Skillet Creek was more
than so years ago when the an
nual meeting Of the Sank County
agricultural society was held there.
In the early days the rural
beauty spots were more available
than they are now. For many
years an annual picnic near the
falls was Q special feature of the
Skillet creek activities. In the
course Of time intensive pasturing
and other causes made the place
less desirable for picnic grounds.
The speaker stated, I'VE are
fortunate that various owners Of
the Falls property have taken
pride in the trees and spared
them. It may rot be so with fut-
ure owners.
With public ownership the
shrubs could be soon restored and
there would be room for very
extension OF our native flora. A
foot survey of the proposed Park
ground had been made that day
and Mr.. Toole altered for inepec-
ton a map showing the frontage
of about 81 rods On the south end
facing the road going by WILDER
CaEoons and the Gasser places.
The park if extended north far
enough TO include the old picnie
grounds the Falls and the pool
below the falls, would embrace a.
bout IA acres. If carried far G.
nough north to include the high
bank north of the bend would ell
brace about II acres.
Following discussions WILDER
Cahoon offered motion that tne
president appoint a committee Of
five to take such action as may
be necessary to acquire a Skillet
Fails park for the public. The
motion was unanimously carried
Tie following sommittee was ap-
pointed: WEbeS Cahoon, G. ".
Davies, w A. Toole, Miss Luise
Gattiker, William McFetridge.
Mr.. MeFetridge expressed his re
grets that he must resign his
membership in the committee as
he must leave for California on
Dec. 21st.
Vocal selections by various mem
bers Of the club and an interest
ing talk by Miss Dorothy Kunzel-
man, concerning a visit to the Fat
Stock show we're features of the
program.
The next meeting of the club
will be Friday evening, January
End.
A very generous supply of appe-
Using refreshments were served
the visitors before the meeting
closed.

Richland Party
In Auto Crash

A party of four young people
from Richland Center met with
rather an exciting and extremely
narrow escape when the Ford
coupe in which they were riding
was wrecked in the zimmerman
corner on the Lime Ridge road
The driver. it seems, missed the
turn, the car crashing into the
bank and turning completely ov-
er. 1t then took fire. All Of the
young people were more or less
injured and it is said that one of
the young ladies is in a Serious
condition. One member, Miss Gal
egar, had three stitches taken in
her knee. The car was almost
completely wrecked.

but only for a moment. He quickly
rose to the occasion.
Wen name'em for the whole
ticket just the same. The boy will
be Calvin Coolidge and the girl
Helen Maria"
The mother promptly put her veto
on the last part OF dads decision.
She said that she would stand for
the boys name all right as Mr..
Coolidge seemed to be a real nice
man, but she's never allow a sweet
innocent little girl TO be called by a
name SO profane as 'Hell an Ma
ria even if Mr.. Dawes did get
elected by using such language.

IS
BEFORE CLUB

In discussing Holland before the
members OF the Fortnightly Liter
airy club at the home Of Mr.. and
Mrs. e. M. Adams on Friday night,
r. b. Griggs stated that the people
OF that country Of canals and de-
pressed land surface have been able
to make the trees grow and the Wa
ters flow where they desire the
trees to grow land the waters to
flow. The canals are alive with
business and are the thoroughfares
of that unique country.
While in Holland Mr.. Griggs Wis
listed Marker, Vollendam, Edam,
Rotterdam, and other cities well
known in geography. In order to
build these cities and create the
surrounding territory, it was neces.
sary to conquer the sea. The Hoi-
landers have been fighting Neptune
for centuries and expect to keep
up the fight for centuries to come.
The dikes are constructed of
granite from Norway, sand, timbers
anG other material over which the
grass grows. These bikes are
thirty feet high and wide enough
for a highway.
The history of Holland goes back
TO tie time OF Caesar and since that
time there has been long period
of defeat, conquest, suffering, and
a never ending struggle to create
the present civilization. The great
est and most extensive war was
with Spain, which spanned almost
four centuries.
The speaker told of the people
and of the products. He also said
that an effort is being made to
drain the Zeider Zee, which would
add about 1000 square miles to the
territory of Holland. TO build a
wall and drain the land will require
more than thirty years.
Golden Age of Art
Miss Christina Wright told of the
Golden Age of Art in Holland. AS
in New England there was once a
period of creative literature which
has not been equalled in this coun-
try, so in Holland there was a time
when painting reached it's super
iative degree The Hollanders had
no material, for architecture or
sculpture but they did have canvas
and on this they spread some of the
finest of the worlds work from the
brush. Among those gifted were
Rembrandt, Gerrit, Dou, Jan Steen
and Paul Potter
Miss Wright told of the rise of
Rembrandt, of the different classes
of pictures painted, of his growing
into disfavor, and of his last years
in poverty
The speaker discussed some OF
the portraits, landscapes, animal
pictures, still life, marines, and
architectural pieces which were
created by those who lived and
worked in the Golden Age.
Miss Wright exhibited many cop
les of the paintings. Those Of the
guild group are made up of prom
inent men of that day, each paying
for his own picture. One of these
is used on well known brand of
cigars. BY each man paying for
his painting in the group picture
the artist was enabled to continue
his work. Rembrandt in "The
Night Watch followed the same
idea of each man paying for his
picture, but producing a military
effect.
The two speakers created much
interest on the subject of Holland
and at the conclusion of the two
papers number of those present
Joined in lively discussion.
The holiday meeting will be with
DR.. and Mrs. G. w. Snyder.
