FEAR OF THE OLD-FASHIONED

Critics of the times seem to lose
patience with anything that is old
fashioned. AS they strive for prog
ress and take society apart to see
if something may be done to make it
run better or with fewer knocks,
they press ever onward toward some
thing that is new and different. To
those who raise their voices in the
wilderness Of opinion and free ad-
yice, the answer frequently comes
that they are old-fashioned. Some
things do not grow old with time.
Thus it is that truth, virtue, justice
and the like are as young and as
essential today as they were when
the world was new. So it is with
the bond of duty that binds parents
and children together into what is
known as the family circle.-Indian-
apolis News.

TABLE DECORATIONS FOR
THE CHRISTMAS FEAST
By Marjorie Howe Dixon
IN n " xs2o9x " n X

A very dear friend of mine has a
marked ability in arranging unusual
table seatings for parties, for her
children or for special occasions for
her friends. Her formal dinners too
are most dignified and beautiful.
She is a great lover of silver and
one finds her using it most appropri-
ately during the holidays. A large
footed Sheffield flower holder, oval
in shape, with ring handles filled
with red roses she often uses as a
centerpiece.
At Christmas dinner which I at
tended, she placed the flowers on a
lovely large Italian lace cloth, with
pair of silver and crystal giran-
doles. These girandOles have candle
holders for six from which depend
crystal pendants and swags. The
pair she used at either end of her
table and you can imagine the bril-
liant effect hey gave when she light
ed her red candles.
This table was set for eight using
red and gold service plates with red
glass goblets and Italian cut linen
napkins, that matched the cloth in
design.
During the Holiday vacation her
high school daughter served a group
of chattering bobbed hair girls an
informal luncheon. They were de-
lighted with the daintiness of the
setting. The entire service was very
much like Wedgewood in creamy
color and were edged with a band
of green. These were placed on lace
mats with a low footed glass of a
clear jade green color, to decorate
each place.
At each end of the table stood a
tall crystal bud vase containing
single poinsettia. In the center of
the ensemble embedded in wreath
of holly and pine branches was a
round sweet meat box with nested
china compartments filled with the |
most luscious sweets, nuts and pre-
The girls fully appreciated |
this.
My friend gave a children's party .
for her grammar school youngsters
and their friends. There was a
squeal of delight when the door |
opened to their play room and they
beheld their party"
1t has been a grand secret about
the house for a week just what
mother was going to have for them.
And here it was before their eyes.
OF course they saw the ice cream

Sitting on a red plate was an ice

men that the children almost forgot

dother had provided low green
mugs with handles; there were four
hort candlesticks of bright green
ottery each holding a very elevated g
nd slender red candle.
New delights awaited their eyes

Where similar sets of examples
were given each night, he soon
found that he was doing them in a
shorter time and felt encouraged. He
was looking at his work from a new

making preparations to convene this
conference Immediately the labor I'M
rest in China has subsidized" When
ii is further remembered that Susuki
entirely forgets the existence of the
trade unions of the Soviet Union which
is also bordered by the Pacific Ocean,
then the color of this Pan-Asiatic pro-
ject will not differ from the child of
Gompers: the Pan-American Labor Fee
Iteration.
The project of the Australian Labor
Party for the converting Of a congress
at Honolulu of "alI trade union work
ers' and kindred organizations Of the
countries Of the Pacific" has a some
what different but likewise unique
character. Here is to be seen an open
attempt to convene a pacifist con-
gress, for otherwise there would be
no sense in giving expression to such
vague term as kindred organiza-
TONS" The congress has as it's OBJ
ject to bring together the supporters
of peace in the countries of the Pa
cific, and as there are many supper
ters Of peace among the bourgeoisie
who have set up all sorts Of pacifist
societies for this purpose, then 1t is
obvious that these kindred organiza-
tions" will have a place at the con-
gress. X is apparently, therefore, a
question Of a Pacific edition Of the In
ternational Peace Conference at the
Hague in December 1922, where there
took place a fraternizing Of interna-
tional reformism and of bourgeois pac-
ifism. But we are still awaiting par
ticulars regarding this project.
The third project-the eonvoc alton
of congress of trade unions of the
countries of the Pacific in Sydney
seems to us to deserve the most at
tention. To this congress only trade
union organizations win be invited,
and these will discuss the common
questions of the countries of the Pa
cific. Although we possess no detailed
information regarding the agenda OF
this approaching congress or regard
ing the proposals to be submitted to
It, We consider such a beginning as
very useful. Such a congress could
serve as stage in the struggle for
the united international and for the

unity Of the international trade union
movement, if the conyeners invite the
trade unions of all countries of the
Pacific and realize that the questions
Of the countries of the Pacific not only
concern the workers of this or that
country, but also the whole of the in
ternational labor movement.
No matter what attitude is adopted
to these projects, one thing is clear:
they all mean a new era in the deveI-
opment of the international labor
movement. The fight of the Com
munist International and the Red In
trenational of Labor Unions against
European narrowness, for the unity of
the labor movement of the whole
world corresponds with the require
ments which have become historically
ripe. There will be still much confu-
sion, deviations and many attempts TO
create continental and colored inter-
nationals, but all this must not mis-

ANTHRACITE MINER: $50 THIS is pEAcE~

All these three projects deserve
serious attention, while it must be re-
marked that the character Of the three
undertakings, in spite of the scanti-
ness of the news, is quite clear.
With regard to Susuki's proposal,
this means nothing else than the crea-
ton of an Asiatic International, and
in this respect the Japanese reformist
is following the footsteps of Gompers,
who for his own purposes organized
the Pan-Ameriean Federation of La
Dor, and of the leader of the English
railway workers, cramp, who a few
months ago put forward the idea of
the creation Of Continental Internal
tional.
Bundshi Susuki at his interview
with the representative of the Japan
Advertiser" said nothing regarding a
colored International. He only intim-
ated that he had decided to convene
an Asiatic Labor Conference when the
Tabor unrest in China has subsidized,
and its aim is ito raise the level of
the Asiatic workers, so that they will
be better prepared to take part in the
work Of the International Labor Of
fee" But as a matter of fact. Susuki
is not arranging his projected Asiatic
Conference for this purpose. The
"DaiIy Standard" adds the following
words of Susuki regarding this Com
ference:
I'VE representatives Of the col :
ored workers have decided to create
a coIored international as coun-
terpoise to the white International"
Susuki's projects therefore, go much
further than the revival of the inter
nationalism of the International Labor
Office: he wants to have his own Asia
tic International. What will be the
political tendency Of his International?
Judging from the fact that it was
'Bundshi Susuki who instigated the
splitting of the trade unions of Japan
and the expulsion Of the revolutionary
elements from the Japanese Labor
Federation, We see that for him it is
a question of setting up the new re-
formist International as speedily as
possible in order to fight against the
revolutionary labor movement of Asia.
1T is not for nothing that Susuki is

With the Homecoming must be
recorded another Villas county cas-
ualty. Although the war had been
over nearly a year, Gustav Hedeen
of COnover died for his country
just as surely as though he had
been on the battle front. He was
indicted into the service in April
of 1918 and was the youngest son
OF Mr.. and Mrs. P. j. Hedeen. He
was born in Sweden but came to
the States when he was five years
old. In France, where he arrived
on the 4th of July, 1913, he served
with the seth Division. He was in
some of the toughest fights staged
after his arrival. He was never
wounded but was severely gassed
in the Meuse-Argonne. He never
recovered from the effects of the
gas and in spite of his great ply
sique, the poison caused his death
November 7th, 1919, at Atwater,
Minnesota. He was 81 years of
age.
With this last sad event we will
leave the war and turn to the army
in peace. There is always some
thing fascinating about military
service. 1t catches the eye and
grips the imagination to such an
extent that all else is forgotten.
There is no history so much read
as military history. Generally when
these armies that have created his
tory were disbanded they projected
themselves in some sort of a semi
body into the life of the
country. 1t was so in this war. 1t
came about as follows:

home before the first of November.
The western part of the county
possessed most of these veterans;
they were men who had enlisted
right off the bat, without waiting
for drafts, calls for volunteers or
any urging. Late in September
some of these veterans returned
home Both Vinegar and Winches-
ter turned out to do them honor.
The whole county that could, joined
in. These men had been members
Of the First Division, an outfit
second In record to the Second Div
ision and then the difference is so
slight that it is partially to call
one better than the other. They
had been through Cantigny, Mont
didier, Noyon, scissors, st. Miheil
and the Meuse-Argonne Later they
held down the watch on the Rhine.
They followed Pershing in his Vic
tory Parades in New York and
Washington. The names Of these
veterans as near as | can learn are
George Counter, John Croner,
George Gunderson, c. G. Brights-
man, and Milford Olson. They
were royalty received. They had
done their best and Villas county
recognized their valor.
Then came the official homecom-
ing events. Nearly every place in
the county staged some kind of a
Homecoming for its soldiers. That
in Eagle River would have been
better had the weather not been so
bad. Vinegar at this time did it.
self proud in it's homecoming
party. The citizens took up a col
lection and offered transportation
to Vinegar for any soldier who
had gone from that place. All
those who could accepted the prop
osition. The result was amazing;
the event was no less.

cause you know all the sugar in
the county was going to go to
France for the Yank soldiers. Of
it did, it arrived there after the
soldiers left.) Gasless Sundays fol-
lowed meatIess Saturdays, joyless
Fridays, soupless Thursdays, bean
less Wednesday, sWeetless Tues
days and moneyless Mondays in
quick and brain whirling success
sion. In a wood county the fuel
commissioner had his gimlet eye
glued on your Woodpiie. All men
between the ages Of Is and As
were soon to be registered. That
to most people augured a long war
and to the questionable board a
month or so Of intense headaches.
The Red Cross was as alive as any
in the state. Regular shipments
were made whenever the demand
came. Almost before one Loan
drive was over you had to dig
down for another. Give until it
hurts was the slogan and everybody
did, then along would come the
government and hurt you all over
again before the old cut was healed
up decently. Frank Carter who
was chairman Of the QUESTIONABLE
Board also had his corps Of four
minute speakers doing their stuff
all over the county. SpeIlbinders
Of every kind were in violent de-
mand. Judge Higgins who as now
was rugged specimen Of Amer
icanism was doing double duty in
that respect Patriotic meetings
were being held in every town hall
and schoolhouse in the county.
Every device that mortal mind
could think Of was used to keep
the people keyed up and to think
only Of the war. Once they lost
sight Of that great aim, the war
would be lost. When one realizes
the tension that the home popuIa-
ton was under during the war,
then we can realize a trife the rea-
son for those Armistice Day orgies
which were not so far off.
AS had already been stated, the
manpoWer of the United States as
represented by it's young men be-
tween the ages Of 81 and 81 was
not adequate by the war depart
ment to supply the demands of a
prolonged struggle. On the last
day Of August, President Wilson
signed another manpower bill. This
bill required all men who had
reached their eighteenth and not
their forty-siXth birthday, to reg
lister with the local boards. This
would induct into the service some
