BANK BUILDING
FORECLOSURE
CASE IN COURT

Judge Smalley heard dispositions,
| ETC., Friday afternoon in the case of
VIM. Hardy, Hinsdale, ILL.,, banker, VS..
| the Peoples State bank of Lancaster.
Mr.. Hardy as trustee for customer
named Fuller, brought action to fore
close a mortgage of $4,000 held
against the Peoples State bank build
ing. After hearing the matter the court
gave attorneys ten days to file briefs
and law on liens.
A year ago May 80, ]. Harold Pugh
as cashier of the bank, arranged a
loan of $4,000 giving a mortgage on
the bank building as security. Mr..
Hardy placed the loan with Mr.. Full
Ter, customer, and the local bank
received credit with their Chicago
bank for the sum loaned. The money
never actually reached Lancaster but
presumably went to bolster the local
banks credit in Chicago. Three days
later the bank closed.
The commissioner of banking is
now trying to have the Hardy claim
filed as a general claim against the
whole resources of the bank instead
of a specific claim against the build
ing. A decision either way would make
considerable difference to Mr.. Fuller
and the creditors of the defunct bank.
The matter is further complicated
by a mechanics lien for $3.50 filed
by Racine parties who made extensive
improvements within the bank prior
to its being closed. These improve
ments included handsome new fix
lures, marble work, plastering, etc. 1t
is claimed by the Racine parties that
their claim is also a preferred claim,
going ahead of even the mortgage.
The banks attorneys set forth that
Mr.. Pugh acted without legal author
ity in pledging the banks assets as
he did not have the consent and APP
proval of the other bank officers. The
other side is endeavoring to show that
the method used by Pugh in negot1at-
ing the loan had been the bank GUS
tom for years. Whether this will
stand in law is question to be set
tied

PRESENTS PLAN
FOR CITY UNIT
FLAG DECORATION

w. S. Proctor, representing the Ma
son City Flag & Decorating Co., was
in Lancaster Friday with novel
proposition of street decoration. 1t
consists of small pipe which is set
in the sidewalk in front of the bust
ness house; a 12-foot spruce flag pole;
and an American flag, Axe feet. The
idea is to sell the town as unit and
to space the poles uniform distance
apart With all flags futtering the
sight is said to be very pleasing. Mr..
Proctor points out that there are II
days in the year when the flag should
be displayed. Then he calls attention
to other uses for the receptacle such
as putting in small Christmas trees
at holiday times, corn stalks, ETC., in
harvest festivals, and so on. The
cost seems moderate and consider
ably less than what was paid five
years ago for decorating the city. And
the Improvement is permanent. The
matter will be presented to the bust
ness men this week.

! Campion college buildings and
grounds comprise one of the prettiest

new ARRIVAL,
NOT GUILTY
JURY HOLDS
Ernest Scheld Tried For
Wife Abandonment.

Ernest Scheld, 81, a year-old AM
erican, was found mot guilty" by
county court jury Thursday afternoon
following a trial for non-support of
wife. The trial lasted three hours but
the jury was out but few minutes.
Scheld was charged by the state
with having failed to provide for his
wife, formerly Ethel Mannuell of
Platteville. Twin children were born
to Mrs. Scheld April 8 but the war
rant had been made prior to their ar
rival and they did not enter into the
case.
The young man arrived in America
from Germany a year ago in June. He
came on $3.50 provided by his great
uncle Bargman, residing at Platte
Vile Arriving at Uncle Bargman's
home on his arrival he became one of
the family.
An attachment grew up between the
young German and Miss Mannuen,
uncle Bargman's granddaughter. The
young couple were married in August,
two months after Ernest's arrival
from Germany. The day after the we'd
ding they went to Milwaukee to live.
Mrs Scheld returned to her parents
in two weeks and has since lived in
Platteville.
Efforts to prove irregular conduct
on the part of Mrs. Scheld were ruled
out by the court as having nothing
to do with the case. Her testimony
was that she wanted to live in Platte
vile, not Milwaukee, and considered
Ernest's place was with her. Ernest,
on the other hand, contended that
Platteville afforded no occupation for
him except shoe shining which he
wouldn't do He had but a few dol
lars when he went to Milwaukee but
soon secured employment at $18 a
week with Hoffman Bros, wholesalers.
The first week he was raised to $2S.
He began night school at once and
now speaks pretty fair English.
Ernest admitted that he had sent
his wife but $31 since she came home
but claimed he wanted her with him
and not with the Relationship"
Around Christmas he wrote her let
ter in German stating that it would
probably be best for both If they
would never meet again.
Young Sche1d is queer mixture OF
old country lad and new arrival. He
is in the melting pot now and on the
way towards citizenship. He has man
aged to crowd considerable experience,
matrimonial, court and otherwise, in
to his life since he came to this coun-
try.

PRA. DU CHIEN-Campion's new
chapel is now under construction.
The dream of many years is to be fin
ally realized. Since the weather has
permitted, work has been progressing
rapidly and the foundation is now be-
ing laid.
TudOr-G Gothic Style
The style chosen for the new edifice
is the Tudor-Gothic. 1t is fitting that
this should be chosen as the plan of
construction for Campion's chapel as
it is the same style as that of the
famed buildings at Oxford College,
England, where the blessed Edmund,
patron saint of Campion college, at
tended college and distinguished him
self so much that he was chosen to
give the address of welcome to Queen
Elizabeth when she visited Oxford.
The chapel, lecture halls, dormitories
and libraries of Oxford are of the
same style and it is planned to make
a Campion group of the new chapel,
Marquette hall and the Joyce Kilmer
library that will stand just south of
Marquette Hall This Tudor-GOthic
Gothic.
Symbolism of Building
All the characteristics of the Gothic
style have been worked into this
chapel, as can be seen from the illus
tration. The turrets pointing heaven
ward are symbolic of the kingdom of
Christ, which he promised to the
faithful The massive and stately
tower speaks of the strength of
Christ The artistic front window
with its many strong panels and deli
cate lines, recall to the mind of the
Christian the marvellous texture of
Christ's character, while the marble
pillars sustaining the massive super
structure are symbolic of the fact
that Christ is the pillar Truth.
OF Majestic Proportions
The exterior dimensions of the
structure are: Length, $50 it.; tran
septs As it.; front width, So it.; in
terror height, AZ it.; from the front
steps to the peak of the roof, SO it.;
tower, 70 it. The seating capacity
will be approximately $50 people
1t will contain seven affairs in one
large main sanctuaries and two tran
sept sanctuaries. The interior walls
of the vestibule, tower sanctuaries

BETTER FARM TIMES COMING

D. J. Kenny, a former Lima boy,
now with the B. c. Ziegler Co. of West
Bend, Wis, was in Lancaster Thurs
day to see C. NJ. Klarman, who handles
local loans for the Ziegler concern.
Mr.. Kenny, who travels over all parts
of Wisconsin, says farm conditions
have shown great improvement and
that the difference between now and
1918 is that people are using their
surplus to pay debts with where six
years ago they bought another car and
left the debts go. He predicts that in
a short time farmers will find their
condition vastly improved. Mr.. Kenny,
young man of about 80, is secretary
of the big bond and investment COM
pany.

ATTENDS BAPTIST CONFERENCE

congregation Sunday evening with a
recital of events at the Northern Bap-
fist conference held in Milwaukee for
a week ending last Thursday. 5000
delegates from 81 states were present
and the attendance daily included
1000 lay visitors Some of the most
capable speakers in the country were
on the program. Sentiment seemed to
be that conditions in this country were
in bad way morally and otherwise
and that the church was remiss in
its duty if it did not wage courag-
eous battle against evil conditions.

Sporting Goods at Christmas.

After all, there is nothing more in
keeping with the spirit of Christmas
giving than sports equipment.
If you have chosen wisely, such a
gift brings unadulterated joy. 1t is
never handicapped by means of too
"utilitarian." There is no question
about it's being passed on just be-
cause the giver didn't want it.
Neither is it tainted with the desire
on the part of the elders to give
something that is good for them"
Yet there are real problems con-
nected with choosing sports equip
ment wisely. Whatever 1t is, from
baby's rubber ball TO boxing gloves
for the boys it should be of good
material and Al workmanship.
That sounds simple, but il isn't COM
mon enough in practice. Children
know a whole lot more about stand
ards in these things than their
elders often imagine. And no child
likes to have inferior stuff. 1t doesn't
last long; it doesn't work right, and
il stamps him with inferiority
among his playmates.
So if YOU have decided to give
sports equipment, make your selec-
tions at sporting goods store, or
from that section in a dry goods
store which is large enough to carry
