's stare. The newspaper fraternity of Wisconsin has lost an able and forceful member in the retirement of J. A. Kuypers, veteran editor of the De- Pere Democrat. Mr.

Kuypers is the present postmaster of DePere and will devote his entire time to the duties of the office. The Democrat, which under his guidance has taken rank as one of the foremost weeklies of the state, is now owned by Mrs. J. Heyerman, widow of Mr. Kuypers former partner.

Mr. Kuypers is quite well known in Stevens Point, having visited this city occasionally as state chief ranger of the Catholic Order of Foresters. He was recommended for the federal job by Congressman Konop. Motives of patriotism. Motives of real Americanism.

Motives of divine justice and truth actuated the soldier boys of the great Civil war. Greater motives for the conduct of life no man hath ever known. Because of these things it is well that we celebrate Memorial day. Well that we strew flowers on graves of our heroic, departed dead. Weil that we cast blossoms of springtime upon river's wave and ocean's turbulent tide.

Well that while honoring the departed we also cherish the living, letting them know that we appreciate the work they did and the united country they have given us as our heritage. Silently and slowly, slowly and silently, the years are passing. Soon all of the "boys in blue" will be resting on "Fame's eternal camping ground." Twenty years from now, so rapidly are the old soldiers going, that there will be only a few, a very few, of them left. W'hile they still linger with us, let us not be ashamed to tell them that we appreciate their devotion to country and to its ideals. Let us counsel with them, knowing that from them we may learn valuable leesons that if learned will do us all good and make us of worth to oncoming generations.

To us has the Eternal given a marvelously fertile and wonderful country. A country that can supply the nations of the world with all manner of products, a country that is wonderful in domain, progress and personality. It is our country. Ours in which to live. Ours to make clean and spotless.

Ours to die for if need be. From the fathers we received it. To our children we shall give it. As it came to us from the fathers better because of their heroisms, God grant that because of our determination it shall be even better as we pass it on to our children. It will be a better country if, learning anew the meaning of the flag and this Memorial day, we live nobly and more truly each and every day seeking to emulate the spirit of those who gave of their all that there might be a land of Freedom perpetual and Liberty foreverrnore.

We honor the men who made Memorial day possible when we walk in their footsteps and through a worthful life evermore ioin in telling the story of Old Glory. DECISION IS REVERSED. Supreme Court Fails to Affirm Judgment Against John Week Lumber Co. A telegram received by Fisher Cashin yesterday stated that the Wisconsin i court had reversed the decision of the lower court in the case of Barney Polebitski and John marck vs. the John Week Lumber Co.

A suit fur trespass wa.s by IVle- bithki and Kaczmarek, who claimed damage of $379.50. The case was tried befuiv Judge Reid in circuit court bore in 1U12 and judgment of $irfi damages and costs was awarded the a i i by a jury. The case was appealed and the verdict set by the supreme court. The same case was tried again in circuit court here. Judge Brunell presiding, in 191f, and the a i i were awarded damages of $208 and costs of $91.54, from which the appeal just decided was taken.

The importance of the case is more in the precedent it establishes, as many similar actions might he started in case judgment was secured. The Week Co. claimed that the land in question was owned by the Stevens Point Boom which years ago purchased a strip of land one rod wide along the stream. The point at issue was whether the strip was measured from the high water mark or the meander line of the stream. Fisher Cashin represented the company, while A.
