WATCHED BY A NATION.

For the first time the United States
now has officially I'm harness and
fmctonlnE two women governors.
They will be just as much governors
as any hc.man that ever steam.roller-
cd a convention or kissed n baby, but
there are still few old timers who
will wonder that affairs are running
along as smoothly as they did. To the
ardent dcvotees Of suffrage, n dream
has become a reality with the innug
uration in January. 1926, OF Mrs Ross
and Mrs. Ferguson as governors Of
Wyoming and Texas. These first two
women governors Of the world will
be in different positions from their
sisters in congress, for upon their
shoulders will rest greater and
more important responsibility Their
respective administrations will WELD
n great influence on the future ele.
walton OF women to high office.

Napoleon die? Guaranteed authen
tic beds in which the Emperor de-

antiques at Deauville, brass bed
of the Empire period was offered as
''Napoleon's deathbed from st.
Helena There had already been
three such beds listed in official
catalogues.
The custodian of the Napoleonic
museum at Malmaison insists that
none of the four is the authentic
bed, for he claims it is actually
in the possession of Prince Murat.

is found in the Murat chateau at

and other organizations of the
kind which are flourishing today.
Fifty years ago business was in
bitter antagonism, when goods
were often sold below profit in
order to worry the opposition.
Modern business. men take a diff
erent view, the community as
whole is considered. Today there
is more cooperation and more
modern business methods.
Kiwanis believes in the square
deal; believes on the true philos-
ophy of right living. The order
holds that he who would succeed
must be his brothers keeper. To-
day the thought is not to adhere
to the old adage-might makes
right
Today the idea is that greater
profits means a greater service;
he profitism most who serves best.
From the cradle to the grave a
man should profit by the service
which he renders.
The speaker closed by applying
the idea contained in THE Great
Stone Face" what we are moulds
the opinion of others.
In introducing the speaker, Pres
ident H. l.. Halsted said that the
Stotzer granite works at Portage
employs more men than firm of its
kind this side of Vermont. There
are about sixty on the Pay roll at

salesman. Mr.. Goddard has been

delightful entertainer with his
comic and other rolicking songs.
A reading was given by Miss
Katherine Schmidt of Baraboo.

acceptable and greatly pleased the
