AN INTERESTING
COUPLE; BOTH
over EIGHTY

Mr. and Mrs. j. S. Workman are
among those in Baraboo who have
passed their eightieth birthday. This
venerable couple has resided in
Baraboo for a great many years and
they have a large circle of friends
in the city who take pleasure in visit
ing them at their Second avenue
home.
MIR. Workman
James s. Workman was born May
II. 1841, at Edgartown, Martha's
Vineyard, Mass. He lived there with
his parents until 1S45, when he with
the family came to Wisconsin first
settling at East Troy and Mukwon

At the age of sixteen Mr.. Worth,

by long and active career. At sew
enteen years of age he crossed the
plains In Col. Mays command to
Fort Bridger, Utah, to quell the Nor
mon uprising.
Next he enlisted Aug Goth, 1867,
in the Badger guards which became
Company 28th Infantry Wisconsin

pany until the close of the war, in
every skirmish and every fight and
never was wounded and seldom sick

Texas, Aug. goth, 1865. Between the
sided in Excelsior, where he was ell,
gagged in shipping stock. During the
year of 1877, he came to Baraboo
and when the village assumed the
dignity of city he was elected al
derman from the Second ward Next
he was city clerk, faithfully filing
years, and during that time serving
on the board of education.

a generation and see who composed
the original organization. The first
officers Of Baraboo were as follows

Police JUSTICE. G. Train
First ward ldermen-Herman Al,

low, H D. Potter and P. Pratt.
Nearly all the above have passed
into the beyond except j. Van Orden,
J. S. Workman and H. P. Barlow
who now resides in st. Paul, Mimi
Although Mr.. Workman has been
confined to his home during the win
ter months, he is up and around and
lis mparatively we'll, but is not
strong. He is a royal entertainer,
especially in telling Of the adYen-
lures and "reminiscences Of his boy
hood days. For great many years

When we lose our pep when
good food tastes bad, when friends
do not satisfy, when life becomes a
bore, when music seems out Of tune,
when the old dog annoys, when the
doctor fails, and the good wife ir-
rftates, there is but one remedy for
the run down. and it is found in
the forests or On the streams in the
big outdoors.
There we go to church and wor-
ship God by conversing with the
things He made, listening to sermons
from rocks and trees, choir music
from the birds.

to lose the rundown" feeling and
get back your pep" go fishing.
1t is a notable fact that of the
Twelve Apostles selected by Christ,
four were fishermen.
They were natural philosophers
who made their living in the big
wide open, who knew the stars, the
tempest, the sea, the sun, the moon,
the winds, and the calm.
Study of nature had prepared them
for a study OF men, and their
thoughts and teaehtngs were big,
like the outdoors from whence they
came.
Every great man we have had was
an outdoor man. Every man with
big thoughts is at some time COM
peeled to get away from the little
things that cramp and bind and
forced to seek a rehabilitation, new
energy, and a broader perspective by
contact with nature

fire makes the radiator endurable;

CALL but they have a sameness and
too sureness" to be palatable for
all of the IL months.
The doctor tries his medicine and
fails, the friend his companionship
and fails; and if they are wise ply
sicians and thoughtful friends, they
advise a change Of scenery, new en-
vironment.
What is becoming of our big out
doors? Where are the animals, the
birds, and the fishes whose presence
renewed the primitive and stronger
natural instincts? They are disap
pearing, now almost gone.
Can individuals stay their depar-
ture? Can citizens hold these things
FOR our children? Not by individ
action. Only the state and nation
are strong enough to keep these re-
treats and asylums for the benefit O.
both the wild things and for men and
women.
1t can only be done by the intelli-
gent action of the legislatures o.
states and the Congress of the ma
ton.

and then perpetuate.
To hold for those who are alive and
keep for those that follow after.
It promises to give the kids the

''World Democracy and

Movement on Foot in America to
Raise Large Fund to Feed Des-

Some of us may differ in regard
to our views of just what we under
stand with "world democracy" but
whatever these views may be they
will not disagree with the injunctions
Of Our Savior: Rom: eff thine enemy
hunger, feed him." Therefore we
must even help an enemy from star
walton. But understand that we are
at peace with Germany now and the
war for democracy has ceased. We
won. But the. command of Christ
stands: "Give We them to eat" Math.

In accordance with world democ-
Eracy and Christ's injunction, Major
General Henry T. Allen who COM
manded the Army of Occupation on
the Rhine, is at the head of a special

raise $10,000,00 in America to help

Home in Oregon Very Much
However, Former Sank Centre Citi-
zen and Mail Carrier Misses
Friends In Old Town

The following Letter written by Min
er w. Mcintyre, for many years a
Sank Centre resident and rural mail
carrier, but who removed to Eugene,
Ore, few years ago, will be of in
terest to the gentleman's many old
friends in this vicinity:
Eugene, Ore, Jan. 18, 1924
Mr.. and Mrs. w. H. Barnett,
Sank Centre, MINI.
Dear Friends-I am going to write
you a few lines to let you know that
I haven't forgotten your address, and
that I often think Of you people and
wonder if all's well with you.
When Miss Beulah, together with
Mr.. and Mrs. Ralph Borgan passed
through Eugene on their way to Cali
fornia and camped on the north edge
of the city it seems that they didn't
call to mind that we were living in
Eugene until morning when they
found our phone number and called
on US for a short time. If they had
found us when they first came to Eu-
gene Laura and, would have been
glad to have entertained them, as we
have plenty of room. We were glad
to see them anyway.
{. Of course there is no need to tell
you what sad loss it was to us when
Mrs. Mcintyre was taken from us be-
fore we had fairly settled in our new
home. She would have enjoyed our
home here very much. There are
many nice people here, and the
church is but few minutes walk.
The w. R. C. is very active in their
work and many of the kind of people
she would have enjoyed working and
visiting with. 1 have transferred
from the Sank Centre Post to the G.
"A. r. Post there and have missed but
one meeting since coming here.
Laura does fine at keeping up our
home and we have everything neces-
sary to our comfort. But we both miss
her mother so much. 1t is just Is
months ago tonight she died.
Eugene is a nice little city of
about 10000 population and is grow
ing very fast. We had, very nice
weather all summer and fall-far less
than normal rain fall up to the pres
ent time. Jan. 1, this year was the
coolest since came to Oregon, the
thermometer registering eight above
zero. It is As above today at 800
p. m. But I understand that you are

the population. The German. family
is happy to have potatoes, carrots and
rice; no meat, no milk; not even for
infants, no sweets, 100000 are
suffering actual want. Our American
Lutheran Board for Relief in Europe

Grated" Europe's distress is chall-
enge to the faith of every Christian.
Christ said to His disciples, when a
multitude of people were in danger
of exhaustion from hunger: "Give We
them to eat"
In accordance with the great dis
tress, the call for help, the spirit Of
true Americanism, and the injunc-
ton of our Savior, hundreds of
thousands of dollars have already
passed through Major General Aliens
committee, and thousands of dollars
through our Lutheran Committee. But
the present situation calls for a
special offering. Therefore the Mem
bers of Zion Lutheran church will
hold a special collection for this pur-
pose from the 3rd to 18th of Feb.
Every cent of this offering will go
directly to some needy. We do not
believe in giving a cent to such who
visit the beer gardens and dance halls
of Europe. Not one cent of this
money is spent for office help or adj
ministration. This money will go to
help chiefly women, children and the
aged, irrespective of religious faith.

LOCAL SPORT FIELD
Locals Defeated at Long Prairie

LoCdiS DeIedtco at Long rdlrle
The local high school basket ball
team met it's first defeat of the sea-
son last Friday night at the hands of
the Long Prairie team. The defeat
came as a total surprise to the local
fans who had picked our boys to win
by comfortable margin.
From all reports the local team was
playing a little off color. The for
ward end of the aggregation did not
seem to have it's accustomed drive,
neither Lembke nor Marx, who have
been consistent scorers in the past,
were able to register tally. Brown,
usually counted upon for several
field goals, was able to cage only one,
and that early in the second half. 1t
was necessary to remove Marx from
the game early in the second half be-
cause of injuries received several
days before in the Osakis game. ~
The Sank Centre boys are offering
no alibi for their defeat and giving
all credit to the winning team. They
are looking forward to evening mat
tiers up, however, in the return game
to be played at Sank Centre Febru-
airy Goth.
The local high school team will
meet Glenwood high school here Fri
day night of this week. Glenwood
has strong team and, while the To-
Gals from the standpoint of compare
tive scores with other schools ap-
pear to have little edge over the
visitors, it promises to be a fast
game.

cannot help but be pleasing. to : the
basket ball fans of this community.
Friday evening of last week the
Rockville hushes came to town with
record of having cleaned up every
thing in southeastern Stearns county
and claiming championship of this
district. Mayhap they have won all
their previous contests, but when they
were lined up against regular bas-
ket ball team such as the local Lee
gion outfit, they received the shock
of their lives. The bewildering pass
es and speed of the locals stunned
them. It was simply question Of
class winning Rockville never was
in the game, the final score being 35
to II in favor of the local aggrega-
ton.
Monday evening the game between
the Robert Swift Post Legionaires
and the Sank Rapids outfit was one
of the most thrilling and interesting
ever witnessed on the home floor and
demonstrated that the local quint are
not demoralized because the visiting
team gets the jump on them. The
first quarter ended with an 8 to 3
score in favor of Sank Rapids; at
the half the score stood 10 to 9 in
favor Of the visitors. During this
period both teams wore dark colored
jersies and it was impossible for the
home lads to discern their pals on
the floor. During the intermission
the dark jersies were removed and
they came out for the final half with
nifty white suits and the real work
of the evening started. Donald Ham
sen was the scoring fiend in this half,
making eight baskets during the en-.
tire game which ended with Is to
ID score in favor of Sank: Centre.
Referee. B. w. Morgan gave as fine
an exhibition of refereeing as has
been witnessed in Sank Centre for a
long, long time. Every member. of
the Sank Centre quint, played a
faultless game. Perhaps in former
years the local aggregation has had
more snowy players thar they have,
this year, but in the last few games
played by the locals their form has
been consistent and their efficiency
is increasing with each contest.
