July 2, 1925
All over the country,
thinking people, alarmed by the lowering for all standards and the increase in
crime among the young are taking counsel to see what can be done to meet the
situation. Characteristically enough they are turning to the schools. For many
years now parents have shown a tendency to shirk their responsibility in the
field of education have encouraged, where they have not obliged the schools to
undertake the instructions of boys and girls in a score of subjects that in
former times fathers and mothers’ thought was their duty to teach. It has been
discovered that the increase in juvenile delinquency is clearly the result of
the alarming lack of religious instruction.

New sales record was established by the Ford
Motor Company during the month just passed, when approximately 6000 more Ford

The excursion rate of $4.00 round trip given by
the Chicago northwestern Sunday drew about 60 Kaukauna residents to Chicago.

Dear Miss Flo: When a lady is dining alone, is
it permissible for the waiter to remove the covers from dishes and serve her?
When a lady is a permanent guest at a hotel is it permissible for her to dine
without a hat?
The waiters should never remove the covers from
the dishes. It is not necessary but if the lady wishes to have the waiter serve
her it is quite permissible also, a lady should always wear a hat in the dining
room or hotel even if she is a permanent guest there.
Louis Schmidt, Sr., of the south side was the
purchaser of a new Dodge sedan. The purchase was made last Saturday from the
Kaukauna Auto Co. Mr. Schmidt’s and family have left on an extended trip

Local railroad officials are making every
possible move to curb the possibility of accidents in the yards and along the
tracks. They reported special efforts are being made to break the habit of

their teens have been seen in the wards of our city hospitals with badly
deformed little bodies, dangling limbs, scared little faces and will remain a
life mark of played on the right of way
