LABOR DAY
BRYAN SERVICE
Union Meeting at
Pre- S b y t eria n
churcn on Sunday
Night for Common
er
BY M. c. crandali

The union service at the Pres
byterian church Sunday drew a
crowd that filled the house. 1t
was a combined Labor Day and
Bryan service.
An organ recital of several
numbers was. effectively given by
Mrs. A. On. Reisz. Prof Erie Fab
er sang Il heard the Voice of Jes-
us Say" and he and Kenneth Won
Wald gave duet Jesus Leads"
Both were beautifully impressive.
Rev. j. e. Kundert read Bryan's
prayer at a committee meeting of
the Baltimore Democratic conyen-
ton.
For the offertory, J. E. Won
Wald and Miss Dorothy Douglas
gave a violin duet, accompanied
by Mrs. A. Oh. Reisz. 1t harmon
lied well with the spiritual i'm
port of the service. The scripture
reading and songs were favorites
of Bryan's. Prof. Faber led the
audience in the congregational
singing.
Rev. E. C Henke read a pro-
nouncement by the Federal coun-
Gil of churches on the spirit of
constructive cooperation between
capital, labor and the general pub
lie. 1t declared that each element
must get the others points of
view, and that they are learning
that each other can be trusted.
Reciprocal friendly relations is
the object to be attained.
Rev. ]. E. Kundert spoke on
Bryan the Man. He said that
Bryan was perhaps the most in
fluential christian on the globe.
He was democratic and approach
able, as he learned when, as
young preacher, he occupied a
seat with Bryan on a train. Born
in an age when there was a great
deal of dollar worship, he set
himself courageously against it,
moreover, espousing temperance
and woman suffrage when both
were unpopular He stood by his
convictions no matter what the
consequences might be. No mat
ter what our opinion about him
may be, we must admit his earn
estness.
He took defeat gracefully, un-
like some other defeated presiden-
tial candidates. Arriving hur-
riedly at one of the Monona Lake
assemblies, he was Obliged to ap-
pear in a travelling suit. Apollo
giving, he said he had good suit
lone | bought to wear to Washing
tom he laughingly said.
Rev. E. C. Henke said that Bry-
an never let an opportunity pass
to witness to his Christian faith.
If perhaps he held as essential
some matters that many hold to
be of minor account, he was wide
ly loved because of his evident
honesty and sincerity. His last
ing fame may finally rest on these
qualities, rather than on his spec
tacu1ar erusades. After all he was
a human being, yet great in the
things that were great.
He taught what was probably
the largest Bible class in the world
and his talks were syndieated.
Illustrative of his charming per-
sonal qualities, Rev. Henke recall
ed that at a banquet to him here,
about fifteen years ago, preceding
his lecture on his world trip, he
traded the olives at his table for
radishes at another, the latter be-
ing a favorite vegetable of his.
When he spoke at the Chautauqua
here three years ago, and was en-

UnueiI Tablet
At Old Helena


Across the river from Spring
Green there was an active and in
teresting village in the lead mining
days. The location was first
known as Pine Bend and in 1928,
General Dodge founded the village,
which riyaled Galena. The ground
was plated in 1929, boats were
built and launched, steamers paus-
ed while making trips ON the Wis
consin river, some of the timber for
Fort Crawford was cut there, in
1929 the United States built a ware
house, later the famous shot tower
was erected, and during the Black
Hawk war troops crossed the river
at this place. When the railroad
reached Spring Green in 1856, the
fate of Helena was sealed and all
that remains is the romance Of a
forgotten town.
Here for years the late Rev. Jen-
kin Lloyd Jones, Lincoln Center,
Chicago, conducted the Tower Hill
congress and a short time ago the
heirs generously donated the prop
erty for a state park.
On Labor Day a tablet was IN
yelled, the inscription being as fol

over organ
May Be SETTLED

Efforts to bring about an amicable
settlement of the suit filed by Rose
Story Hogan and the Toohey brothers
against the Gallatin Theater company,
an action to "abate'' an alleged "nuis-
ance," have borne some fruit.
The bone Of contention is the big
Wurltzer organ in the Ellen theater,
which the plaintiffs claim disturbs
tenants in their building, which ad-
joins the Ellen on the west. Hearing
on a plea for an injunction was set
for October IA, but upon request
Of counsel for the defendant it was
postponed for 80 days.
Assurance has been given the plain
tiffs, it is understood, that an effort
will be made to sOundprOof the walls
Of the theater so thoroughly that the
noise of the organ win not disturb
tenants next door. This work has al
ready been begun.

LOSING
S3,5OO,OOO WEEKLY
BECAUSE OF STRIKE

The anthracite coal strike has been
heralded as expensive TO the miners,
VINO are idle and to the operators who
are net getting any coal, but there is
another big loser in the mine rail-
roads who haul practically all Of the
anthracite from the mines. About
10000 less cars are being loaded by
these roads than before the strike and
the weekly loss to the railroads is
estimated at S3,5OO,00O.
The reduction CT this loading and
hauling has forced the railroads in
the anthracite regions to retrench and
the only way they a do this is to
reduce the number Of their employees.
Up to this time it is said that $4,000
railroad men have lost steady posi-
items because Of the coal strike.
The loss Of coal freight revenue is
the chief less to the railroad owners
in the present strike, as most Of the
coal properties formerly held by the
carriers have been divorced and in
some instances the stockholders Of the
railroads were required to divest
themselves Of their holdings in the
coal companies.

eral years under the guidance and
support of parent-teacher assOcia-

The preschOOl study circle seems to
be the logical agency in which parents
may learn how to prepare their chill
dren fer school life. These circles in
Georgia have been so beneficial to the
parents that the Laura Spellman Me-

TRY SULPHUR ON
AN ECZEMA SKIN
Costs Little and 'OVercomes
Trouble Almost Over
Night

Any breaking out of the skin, even
fiery, itching eczema, can be quickly
overcome by applying Mentho- Sulphur,
declares a noted skin specialist. Be-
cause of its germ destroying properties,
this sulphur preparation instantly brings
ease from skin irritation, soothes and
heals the eczema right up and leaves
the skin clear and smooth.
1t seldom fails to relieve the torment
without delay. Sufferers from skin
trouble should obtain a small jar Of
Rowles Mentho- Sulphur from any
good druggist and use it like cold
cream.

last year was 19,30o,000 bales, and the
average for the 1909-1913 five-year pre-
