There are more telephones in the United States
than there are people in Turkey. As many as 1609 girls are employed in
Milwaukee as telephone operators by the Wisconsin Telephone Company. They
handle an average of half a million originating local messages each day.
On becoming ninety-one years old Chauncey Depew
does not indulge himself as most people do as to whether the world is better or
worse. Mr. Depew is more specific in lamenting one loss that of the passing of
the horse with the arrival of the automobile. The automobile has brought
domestic and business life to a more rapid pace. I miss the slower paced and
more leisurely past.
Miss Lorraine Radder received the highest grade
in the senior class at high school, her average being over 90%. Other seniors
in the class over 90% average are Walter Ditter, Josephine Maes, Norbert
Gerend, Anna Jaeckel and Marion Vandenberg.
Now that the season of motoring is about to
open again it would be well for us all to resolve to do our share toward making
it as safe and enjoyable as possible. Next in importance is the condition of
the car itself. Good breaks are always important. The idea of chains for

“I never go to church,” said the millionaire to
the quiet priest as they sat on the deck of a steamer ship. “Would you like to
know why?” “Well, I’ll tell you why. There are so many hypocrites there.”
“Oh, you needn’t let that keep you away,” said
Father Tom with a smile. “There is always room for one more.”
Jos. Bayorgeon won first place in the
oratorical contest at Oshkosh last Friday afternoon. Kaukauna High school won
three places in the speaking contest. He will now go to the state contest at
Madison later this month.
A well-known good fellow from a small Indiana
community had died suddenly. He was known as a “good provider” for his family,
being big hearted and generous. This minister of the church of which the wife
was a member, rushed to the house on learning that Jim had dropped dead. “Mrs.
Jones,” said the minister, seeking for helpful word, I hardly know what to day
to you in the way of sympathetic words. “Well, I am not without comfort this
evening,” replied the stricken wife, At least I know where Jim is tonight.
