INTERNATIONAL
Congratulations!
As this celebration marks the 100th Anniversary of the founding of your prosperous little city of Teutopolis and the surrounding thriving community — we closely associate this event with our Centennial on the invention of the reaper which was invented in the year 1831 — only 8 years before the settlement of Teutopolis— Also — Weber Bros, your McCormick Deering Fai-m Implement and International Motor Truck Dealers have been distributors of our line for almost 50 years. A line of farm ma- chinery and trucks through all those years have had high pubUc acceptance.
Your patronage with this firm and the International Harvester Com- pany has been and always will be — a great pleasure — We shall always strive to give you the latest and most economical machinery that is pos- sible for our trained engineers to design.

1^ BANKING LOOKS AHEAD ^
THE AMERICAN WAY OF LIVING
We have the highest standard of living in the world. But we have not attained it by divine right. Instead we have earned it by our efforts.
Down through the vears our people have practiced thrift. They have been resourceful, courageous, far sighted. They have worked hard. And our country has forged steadily ahead.
This bank believes that so long as these basic American principles endure, and as long as business men, banks, the people and the government work hand in hand, we will go forward.
Our financial services can be very helpful to those who wish to move ahead.

Greetings!
The Teutopolis Centennial Com- mittee Extends a Hearty Wel- come to Each and Everyone tak- ing part in the Festivities of the 100th Anniversary of the Found- ing of Teutopolis; to share the memories of our historic past and to renew our belief in a much greater future.
HOW NAME TEUTOPOLIS WAS SELECTED
After the land had been distributed by lot, the question of the name to be given the new settlement was next taken up. The follow- ing names were proposed: New Cincinnati, Covington, Newix)rt, Sebastopol, Muenster, Hanover, Germantown, and St. Peter. The names Hanover and Gennantown seem to have been most acceptable, but the postal au- thorities at Washington informed the mem- bers of the Company that these names had already been adopted by settlements in Clin- ton County, lUinois. Thereupon it was de- cided by a majority of votes to call the new settlement ST. PETER. The Rev. WiUiam Pisbach, a member of the Company, how- ever, or as Rev. Anselm Puetz, O. F. M., learned of Mr. Clement Uptmor I, the Rt. Rev. John B. Purcell, BisHop of Cincinnati, proposed the name of TEUTOPOLIS. The members were reluctant to adopt this "strange" name; but when they were told that it signified "City of Teutons, or Ger-
^ mans," they were satisfied and adopted it in
t-, place of that of St. Peter.

Patronize your Local Druggist
There are times when you find it a conven- ience and accommodation to have a good drug store in your immediate community where a Registered Pharmacist is in charge.
When you buy drugs, drug sundries, medi- cines for your stock and poultry, go to your druggist — he sells only the best of drugs.
Money spent at home helps pay your taxes. Boost your home town.

One of the things people Hke best about Griesedieck Bros. Light Lager Beer is its perfect unifoiTnity. You'll never be disappointed with that smooth, matchless DOUBLE-MELLOW flavor, made mellow in the brewing, kept mellow by the removal of air from the bottle. It's al- ways first for thirst, always right for real re- freshment. Join the thousands who say, "I'll take Griesedieck Bros. Beer." That's the password to pleasure.

Contributed by Ben Stockman, Teutopolis
Believe it or not if Ripley knew,
About our wooly whiskered crew,
He'd gather us in and start a zoo ;
For the sights you see in this Jamboree,
Would make any squirrel climb a tree;
You see whiskers you never knew,
Every color and every hue.
Anything but green or blue ;
Whiskers red and whiskers gray.
Some the color of new mown hay ;
Some their razor they must have lost,
Others are brown with a little jack frost;
Some have whiskers nice and brovni,
With a fuzz that's soft as down;
Some have whiskers tough as wire,
Others blaze like a prairie fire ;
Some are trimmed — some grow wild,
Others so sharp they must 'ave been filed;
Some are light, some are dark,
Some look like relics out of Noah's Ark ;
Others have a moustache to adorn their face,
Comes in handy for soup after grace ;
Don't judge by looks — this whisker race,
For many a stubble hides an angel face.
2.
Now I guess you'd like to know.
How we make our whiskers grow;
Some use honey, so I've heerd,
But honey alone never grew a beard ;
Axel grease or Umburger cheese.
They all can use what e'er they please ;
I know what I use but I won't tell,
If you don't like my whiskers, just go to — well
Home remedies seem to fare the best,
They really make beards that stand the test ;
All night long we toss and moan.
All day long we scratch and groan ;
Walking thru the woods the ticks are bad,
Getting them out really makes us sad ;
With haunted looks we are never at ease.
Just hke a hound dog scratching fleas.
3.
When a mother looks at her whiskered son, She says a prayer and wants to run; My gosh ! My gosh ! what have I done, To let such a wooly brute call me Mum; There's many a mama's little lad, Who brags all day about his whiskered dad, If I eat my wheaties and I ain't bad? Can I grow a beard just like dad? No — No — my son, that will never do Look at the suffering poor dad goes thru Eat your spinach, you've said enough, I'm sick and tired of this he man stuff; Whiskers are for pop alone; So you can wait until you're grown.

Now you Petunia Blitz and Tulip Blots, Violet Blues and Forget Me Nots; Now is the time to get busy and hustle, Get out your hoop skirt — shake your bustle; Do up your hair in those nice long curls. That will make the men go around in whirls ; Then get busy with the old spinning wheel, And learn to dance the Virginia Reel ; The square dance, polka and the Heel 'n toe, Man 0 man — look at that hoop skirt go; Make those rough-tough-wooly galoots, Wear hickory shirts and cow hide boots; Make 'em some bibs and tuck them in, And wipe the gravy from off their chin.
Now there are many old ginks like me,
Who are just too old for such Jamborees;
What do we care — ^we'll all be there.
If they have to take us in an old wheel chair ;
We'll try to forget our aches and pain,
Throw away our crutch and cane;
And sing —
"HAPPY DAYS ARE HERE AGAIN."

I WON^T COME DOWN TIL .^^)i-^^ YOU GET ME A ^ SURGE MILKER/'
sfuy-
r£T SENSIBLE.'
If cows could talk, this cartoon wouldn't seem silly because EVERY cow prefers being milked by the SURGE — for sev- eral SENSIBLE reasons:
1. It milks all cows better with a light pull for an easy milker — a heavy pull for a hard milker and a progressively increasing pull on all cows as they are milked out.
2. It gets more milk {less stripping).
Surge Owners prefer Surge because there are only 4 inches instead of 4 feet of rubber to dean — cleaner milk. It's faster — Surge is the fastest milker ever pro- duced. AND — all metal parts touching milk are Stainless Steel! NOW —
'Self-Washing"
So long as ads continue to appear stating that certain milking machines are "self- washing," we shall continue to say that the Surge is not that kind of a machine. Milk is a very wonderful but very easily spoiled food — a dirty machine means dirty milk. We urge you to wash and properly sterilize your Surge Milker after each milking. There is not much of the Surge to keep clean and proper attention requires less time, less wash- ing powder and less steriliz- ing.
"Dirt has no place in milk under any condition. Some dirt is sterile and carries no bacteria whatever. That fact does not lessen the impot' tance of keeping it out of milk."
"No amount of straining or cooling can restore a dirty milk or a milk with a high bacteria count to its original high grade condition."

HISTORY OF THE VILLAGE OF TEUTOPOUS
The village of Teutopolis is situated in the township of the same name, in the north- eastern part of Effingham County. Its main thoroughfare is the Cumberland, or Old Na- tional Road, traversing the state of Illinois between Terre Haute, Indiana, to St. Louis, Missouri. The St. Louis division of the Penn- sylvania Railroad also passes through the town.
The German Land Company
The village of Teutopolis was founded by Cathohc Germans who had immigrated from the kingdom of Hanover and the grand-duchy of Oldenburg and had made Cincinnati and vicinity their stopping-place before proceed- ing farther. "Some stayed six months, some a year, some five or six years, in order to earn sufficient means to pay for eighty or one hundred acres of government land and enough besides to start life thereon. The Cathohc GeiTTians came into the city at the rate of two hundred or more every day, and perhaps a tenth as many left the city every day, going to Ohio, IlUnois, Missouri, Louisi- ana, and Wisconsin." Among these Ger-

of organizing a company, to purchase govern- ment land in a state west of Ohio, and found a colony of Catholic Gennans. Accordingly, he, with two or three others, about in 1837, organized the "GeiTnan Land Company". In a short time, the number of members in- creased to nine, and finally to 141. Each member contributed $10 monthly, until a sum was at hand sufficient to purchase a tract of land that seemed large enough for the purpose intended, and besides $10 to de- fray the expenses of the Company. A com- mittee of three was chosen to find land suit- able for the colony. This committee, consist- ing of Clement Uptmor, John F. Waschefort, and Gerard H. Bergfeld, set out on April 17, 1837, visited several places in Indiana, crossed the state in the latitude of Vin- cennes, explored a large part of Illinois, and travelled as far west as Chillicothe, Missouri. Dissatisfied with the practice of slavery ex- isting there, they returned to Illinois, pass- ing through it near the latitude of Quincy and Jacksonville. Alton and Shelby County and the land near Mattoon were also exam- ined, and finally proceeded to the land office at Vandalia, at that time the capitol of the

Illinois, etc., but, like most of their country- men, they were ignorant of the virtue of the black soil and considered the prairie unsuit- able for cultivation, partly because the prai- rie in their native land was such, pai'tly be- cause the prairie in these parts was swampy and without drainage. For the latter rea- son, the air of the prairie was certainly un- wholesome, and for many years the early settlers were subject to the attacks of ma- lai-ia fever. The committee was also guided in its choice of the land by the practical con- sideration of having sufficient wood for build- ing purposes and for fuel.
Purchase of the Land After an absence of fifteen weeks, the members of the committee returned to Cin- cinnati and made their report. At the sug- gestion of Ml". Clement Uptmor, the location of the land was not made known, lest any land shark take advantage of this knowledge and enrich himself at the expense of the prospective buyers. The committee also of- fered to lead any members of the Land Com- pany who might be chosen to Effingham County, to enable them to inspect the land for themselves. Messrs. John Gerard Mey-

er, and Henry Roennebaum were chosen for the purpose. They were also commissioned to buy the land, if they found it satisfactory, and for this purpose the sum of $16,000 was entrusted to them. Since railroad facilities were entirely lacking at that time, they, to- gether with Messrs. Clement Uptmor, John F. Waschefort and Gerard Bergfeld, the first committee, set out from Cincinnati to Eff- ingham County on foot, taking with them a single horse which they took turns in riding, and to the saddle of which they fastened the bags containing the money. Two of the par- ty, well armed, walked at either side of the horse. They arrived at their destination without mishap at the end of June, 1838. Satisfied with the location and nature of the land, both committees proceded to Vandalia, and on July 5 and 6, concluded all conditions necessary for the purchase of the land. The tract consisted of about 10,000 acres at $1.25 an acre; forty acres, belonging largely to veterans of the Black Hawk War, were bought by Mr. Waschefort for $5.00 an acre. Ml'. Waschefort had been instructed to buy all the land in his name and to make out the deeds to the members of the Company.

Platting of the Land
Before retuiiiing- to Cincinnati, Mr. Wm. J. Hankins, Effingham County Sui-veyor, was engaged and the purchased land was then sui-veyed and platted. The plat was record- ed in the Superior Court, in Cincinnati, Ohio, on September 21, 1839.
ALLOTMENT OF THE LAND FOR VILLAGE OF TEUTOPOLIS
In the Fall of 1838, the allotment of the land took place in Cincinnati, in the old en- gine-house between Sixth and Seventh Streets. Shps of paper marked with num- bers corresponding to those of the plat, des- ignating 40 acres of farmland, the town lots.
and garden lots, were placed in a hat; and each member of the Company received the land and lots marked on the shp which he drew from the hat. Mi-. John F. Waschefort then, in behalf of the Company, made out the necessary deeds. Now the location of the land was made known. One of the Commit- tee had been sent to Vandalia to purchase land for the three members of the original committee.
The following is the list of the members of the Company, who shared in the allotment of the land. The list is taken from a note- book of Mr. Clement Uptmor, one of the Di- rectors of the Company at Teutopolis since January, 1840.

John Bernard Tebbe, later at Green Creek, in Effing-ham County, Mr. J. H. Uptmor and family and others — seven families in all. Mr. Vormor was the only one who owned a team and wagon. These arrived in April, 1839. At that time, it may be well to add here, sev- eral Americans were living in what is now the Township of Teutopolis : John Gannoway (called Gennivers by the pioneer Germans), living west of Teutopolis ; James Leavitt, Kit and Nicholas (Nick) Radley, on the present Lueken or Ordner's place; Mr. Benjamin Stallings, since 1825; and Mr. (Aaron) Wil- liams, a passionate hunter.
The next to come from Cincinnati in 1839, perhaps in April, were: Joseph Boeckmann, G. H. Niemann, H. Bruemmer, and Joseph Ostendorf. Mr. Clement Uptmor, the found- er of the Land Company, who in September, 1839, married Miss Maiy E. Niehaus at Cin- cinnati ; Mr. Clement Vahling and wife ; and Herman H. Uptmor reached the present site of Teutopolis on December 21 of the same year. To find shelter against the severe cold, they occupied a pen which probably be- longed to Mr. Radley, and from which they had driven the animals kept in it. This pen

stood about half a mile northeast of the pres- ent church. Next day, they began the build- ing of a log house for Mr. Clement VahUng, inVhich the three families lived until each had a house of its own. Fi-ank Maurice Ma- squelet, B. H. Vogt, Joseph Woermann, John Steinkes, and Jacob Doedtmann came at the end of 1839 or at the beginning of 1840.
In January, 1840, the Directors of the Land Company at Cincinnati, Ohio, were the following gentlemen: John H. Buddeke, G. H. Bergfeld, John Mathias Gohs, John Roen- nebaum, John Albei't Kuemmer, Arnold Kreke, Ben H. Brockmann, and J. H. Plass- pohl. These empowered Clement Uptmor, Joseph Boeckmann, and Hemian Bergfeld, who, on January 19, 1840, had been chosen Directors of the Company for Teutopolis, to admit new members into the Company. The following were admitted at Teutopolis under the usual conditions, and also contributed $10 toward the building of a church: An- thony Pundsack, Clement Pundsack, Joseph Pundsack, J. B. Tebbe, Jacob Doethmann, Joseph Frederick Osterhaus, Clement Nie- haus, Joseph B. Brummer, Bernard Suer, An-
thony Dodenkamp, and Henry Kremer. Oth- er old settlers were: Joseph, Bernard, Henry, and George Koester, Ferd. Braun, Joseph Feldhake, Mathias Moenning, Bernard De- ters, Fred Grimming, Arnold Kreke, Henry Herboth, B. Mindrup, J. F. Renter, etc.
Mr. John F. Waschefort, one of the mem- bers of the Committee which selected and bought the land, settled at Teutopolis in March, 1840. B. H. Suer, (Bernard) Ahrens, Henry Gerdes, and (John G.) Korfhagen came in 1841; B. H. Mindrup, (Herman) Renter and J. Herboth in 1842. Many oth- ers arrived during the next yeai'S. Some made their way from Cincinnati overland, partly by stage, partly on foot ; others made use of the steamboats as far as Evansville, Ind. ; others, again, passed down the Ohio and up the Mississippi to St. Louis, and thence followed the National Road to their destination. Some, coming directly from Germany, landed at New Orleans, and from that city travelled by boat to Cincinnati or to St. Louis and thence overland to Teu- topolis."

To encourage efficiency and promote high ethical standards in business and profes- sions ; provided that no club shall hold out as one of its objects financial benefits to its members.
LIONS CODE OF ETHICS
To show my faith in the worthiness of my vocation by industrious application to the end that I may merit a reputation for quali- ty of service.
To seek success and to demand all fair re- muneration or profit as my just due, but to accept no profit or success at the price of my own self respect lost because of unfair ad- vantage taken or because of questionable acts on my part.
To remember that in building up my busi- ness it is not necessary to tear down anoth- er's; to be loyal to my clients or customers and true to myself.
Whenever a doubt ai'ises as to the I'ight or ethics of my position or action towards my fellow men, to resolve such doubt against myself.
To hold friendship as an end and not a means. To hold that true friendship exists not on account of the service performed by one to another, but that true friendship de- mands nothing but accepts service in the spir- it in which it is given.
Always to bear in mind my obligations as a citizen to my nation, my state and my com- munity, and to give to them my unswerving loyalty in word, act and deed. To give them freely of my time, labor and means.
To aid my fellow men by giving my sympa- thy to those in distress, my aid to the weak, and my substance to the needy.
To be careful with my criticisms and liber- al with my praise; to build up and not de- stroy.

"In the beginning, God created Heaven and the earth, and darkness was upon the face of the deep, and God said, "Let there be light," — (as the lights come up) — and there was hght.
(Pause).
"In this symbolic ballet, we see the begin- ning of life upon the earth. At first every- thing is lifeless and inert, and the darkness spread eveiywhere, but with the coming of light, the land, the sky, the mist, the flowers, the forest, and rivers become vibrant with Hfe and arise in rhythmic movement express- ing the joy and gloiy of hfe.

EPISODE 2. Arrest of the Arch Bishop
A httle more than a century ago a troop of soldiers marched through the streets of Cologne and came to a halt at the residence of the Arch Bishop.
(Pause).
They surrounded him and placed him un- der arrest. (Pause).
"They took him to prison in the fortress of Mindem. Then began the rule of a Prus- sian. The church bells were to be rung ac- cording to the government orders. Candles were to be lighted according to the state's prescription. All bishops were to be elected when and where the prince saw fit. The Church lands, in most cases, went to some public domains. The cry was, "All for Cae- sar." So seeking relief from famine and ill- ness, and the rising femient of revolution that plagued them, they looked beyond the seas to a country where man could worship God in peace. But they not only looked, but they went.
(Pause).
Packing their most cherished possessions, their precious valuables, they departed to a land where freedom of worship would be theirs."
EPISODE 3. Indian Scene.
(Scout enters and signals tribe to enter).
"The first inhabitants of this country were the red Indians, the actual origin of whom is a matter of considerable dispute. They were an ignorant and superstitious lot, hav- ing many strange customs and behefs. Their wanderings from place to place made their

numbers seem far more numerous than actu- ally the case. They were a serious bamer to the development of the land when the first white men arrived. We see here a band of Kickapoo Indians who belong- to the powerful Algonquin tribe, who had earlier split into two tribes. In about 1750 they drifted into Illinois and united. The squaws go about setting up the camp as the Chief and braves prepare for one of their rituals." (Pause while fire is lighted).
"The fire having been kindled, the Medi- cine Man presents the peace pipe to the Chief who in turn offers it to the cardinal spirits, as all chant the ritual. 'To the North, our father ... to the South, our mother ... to the East vdnd ... to the West wind . . .peace."
(Continue as pipe is passed).
"There is a beautiful legend of the begin- ning among the Indians."
"In the Heavens above the Heavens lived the timeless beings. Here the gods and he- roes lived and loved and danced through time before all time. Among these were Auoda, the beautiful, and Manitou, the hunter. And there was no sun, nor moon, but light was
given by the yellow flowers on the tree of light. But Auoda, the beautiful, ate one of the flowei's, and Manitou hurled her down from the Heavens above the Heavens. Auo- do fell for a thousand years and where she fell there appeared an island which became America. There her son Hiawatha was bom and it was dark.
In a cave, Hiawatha found a golden ball and in play he hurled it from the mouth of the cave with all his might. It sailed across the sky and sank into the ocean. But Azou- ci, the witch, cast a spell upon it so that it returned to Hiawatha to be hurled again each morning. Thus the sun was bora . . . and Manitou, taking pity added the moon while the sun was under the sea. And he created the trees, and flowers, and animals. Corn and tobacco for the calumet. And America was beautiful.
(Pause until pipe is returned to Chief).
"This serious business being finished, the chiefs and braves begin a dance, for dancing was one of the joys of their lives. The dance starts slowly, but gains in its tempo until it becomes wild and uncontrolled."
(Pause until dance ends).

"The braves break into small groups, some shoot with bows and arrows, others wrest- ling in friendly contest. Still others begin a game for stakes, for the IiTdians were in- veterate gamblers."
(Pause).
"An argument develops among the gam- blers who start to quarrel. . . The dispute is taken to the chief who orders a race to be run, and the winner of which is to receive the disputed stake."
(Pause).
"A squaw approaches the chief to tell him that her child is sick. . . The Chief orders the child to be brought to the camp fire so that the Medicine Man may minister to him."
(Pause).
"The Medicine Man sprinkles the child with herbs and wild gestures. The child probably would have recovered anyway, he had eaten too many green berries, but the simple faith of the Indians made it a profit- able business to be a Medicine Man, for the squaw pays him his fee in corn."
(Pause).
"A scout warns the camp that a large body of white men are approaching, and the braves prepare to defend the camp.
(Pause as Pioneer Scouts arrive).
'Halt,' says the Chief.
'We come in peace,' say the scouts.
'Then come and sit by our fire in peace, and we will talk. What is it that our white brothers want?' says the Chief.
'We buy land, oh Chief, and make our homes among these green fields."
The pipe of peace is passed and finally a bargain is struck, and one of the white men returns to the homesteaders while the other remains with the Indian, who prepare to share their land with the white men."

of 1737, which later became the first ten amendments to the Constitution of the Unit- ed States of America, that it was generally settled. Here we see an early group of those hardy pioneers who came literally, to carve themselves a home. They are received by the Indians in a friendly manner and prepare to make this new land their home. (Pause while Pioneer family come in).
"The Pioneers begin the task of making their homes. . . Household articles are set out, women do their homely tasks of wash- ing clothes, while others prepare the evening meal. Later deciding that this location is satisfactory, they decide to send a committee of five men back to Cincinnati, to a Land Grant meeting to buy claim of the territory. At this Land Grant meeting the committee- men namely were : John Gerald Meyer, John H. Roennebaum, Clement Uptmor, John F. Waschefort, and Gerald Bergfeld. Placing the money, for the land of their future homes, in the saddle bags, the five men start back to Cincinnati. . . The women pack their belongings in l)ags, place them in the wag- ons, and being good Pioneers, they see that there is not a spark left in the camp fire."
(Exit wagons).
EPISODE 5. Land Grant Scene.
"Upon their arrival at Cincinnati they dis- cuss with the Board of the Land Company, a deed for 10,000 acres of land. They en- gaged William J. Hankins, surveyor, to sur- vey the plot of land designating it into 40 acre fanns, town lots, and garden lots.
(Pause).
They place in a hat, slips of paper with numbers con-esponding to the land for farm- ing and to the lots. Each man draws.
(Pause).
On the lot he receives, he wall erect his new home. (Pause).

EPISODE 6.
"Early in 1839 the main way of travel was overland from Cincinnati, partly by stage, partly by foot, and then by steamboat as far as Evansville, Indiana. Others passed down the Ohio, up the Mississippi to St. Louis, and then followed the National Road. Some fam- ihes, coming- directly from GeiTnany, landed at New Orleans, and from there traveled to Cincinnati or St. Louis. From there they came overland by stage to Teutopolis. The stage running between St. Louis and Indian- apolis carried both mail and passengers. Teu- topolis, being the main stop to change horses and to give the passengers plenty of time for refreshments. The villagers made quite an event of the honor of having the stage coach stop in their village. At the sound of the stage coach horn, the villagers and farm- ers would gather around to welcome them to town. The women were quite interested in seeing the lady passengers as that was prac- tically the only way they had to keep up with the styles of the East and West.
(Pause).
"After exchange of greetings with the drivers and passengers they would return to their duties at home and wait for the arrival of the next stage coach.
EPISODE 7.
Marriage Scene.
Man-iages in the early days of Effingham County were of interest to the entire com- munity and one of the few really social events. Romance quite naturally played a large part in the life of the early settlers, though sometimes, they had to wait quite a while after deciding to get married, for Teu- topolis was without a resident priest for many months.
Frequently the women wore a black dress and bonnet. Dark clothes were very prom- inent and the weddings were very simple, but, as more people came to make their homes here, old countiy customs were intro- duced.

Let us respect and revere those who contributed to this success.
It is our policy too, to conduct business along sound, up-to-date progressive lines. By maintaining these ideals we can too in a course of time celebrate our Centennial.

The invitations were extended by the best man who, mount- ed on a ribbon-bedecked horse, himself wear- ing- a ribbon in his hat, rode throug-h the village and over the country side to the homes of those to be invited. Arriving at the designated home, he would recite verses and ask for a ribbon for his hat or staff and if he was given two, he would tie the second on the bridle of his horse.

Then he went his way to another home."

"Another custom was that of the girl friends of the bride, carrying a long gar- land or wreath of flowers to the home of the bride the day of the wedding. These gar- lands or wreaths were made of flowers, corn husks, evergreens or paper flowers. Enter- ing her home, and placing the garland or wreath before her on the floor, one of the girls would extend wishes of happiness, long life, and health to the couple about to be married."

when Chiist was born. They were led by a wondrous star called the Star of Bethlehem. They first came to Jerusalem and sought the new-boi-n King at Herod's palace. King Herod, however, after consulting the Jewish priests, where the promised Messiah was to be bom, directed the Wise Men to Bethle- hem. These following the guidance of tlie star found the Divine Infant with Mary, His mother and St. Joseph. And falling on their knees they adored the Christ Child and open- ing their treasures they offered Him gifts — gold, fi-ancincense and myrrh. To commemo- rate this event it has been customary here at Teutopolis since the eighties for four men to serenade the various homes and surround- ing places at Epiphany time dressed up as the three Wise Men with the fourth man playing the accordian and to nan-ate in mu- sic and song the adoration of the Christ Child.

Upon receiving a little treat the serenaders extend their best wishes to their host and the black King sweeps all misfortunes out of the doors.

Cornerstone.
"Coi-nerstone of the first church was laid July 20, 1851. When it became apparent that the Uttle log church that had served the parish for a number of years would have to be replaced with a larger edifice, much dis- harmony arose over the location, though it was finally announced that the spot that was chosen by the Reverend Oliver Van de Velde, second Bishop of Chicago, would be the one used. The Bishop and his companions were met at Freemanton and they went to the church and laid the cornerstone. The Na- tional Road was festooned with three arches of flowers. On the following day people from the suiTounding country side arrived at 9:00 for a pi'ocession headed by the children of the parish and the other members of St. Peter's parish, all wearing badges.

Joseph Zoeg-el and the Rev. F. Busschots proceeded with the ceremonies of the laying of the cornerstone of the new church.
(Pause — leave for the old church).
Afterward High Mass was sung in the old church, and dinner was served near the foundation of the new church. Vespers were sung following the Benediction of the Bless- ed Sacrament by the Bishop. That night citizens had a torchlight parade going to the priest's residence to thank the Bishop and his attendants.
EPISODE 10.
Arrival of the Franciscans.
In the year 1857 the Rt. Reverend Henry Damian Juncker, first Bishop of Alton made his visit to Rome. On his return he passed through Germany where he asked the Very Rev. Provincial, Gregory Janknecht to send some Franciscans to labor in his diocese. Of the many Fathers and Brothers who volun- teered to go to America the following were
chosen: Fr. Damian Henneweg, Fr. Capis- tran Zwinge, Fr. Servatius Altmicks, Bro. Irenaeus Drewes, Bro. Paschal Kutche, Bro. Marian Beile, Bro. Julius Schmaenck and the two Tertiaries Edmund Wilde and Hennann Uphoff. Making the journey in the religious habit of St. Francis they left the convent of Warendorf on Aug. 24, 1858, and after a long and tiresome journey they landed in New York on Sept. 14th. On the following day they set out for Alton which they reached on Sept. 21st. The Rt. Rev. Bishop at once as- signed Teutopolis to them as their first American Mission. Accompanied by the Bish- op's secretary, Fr. Menke, they arrived at Teutopolis late at night on Sept. 23rd. Fr. Bartels, who was then pastor at Teutopolis received them kindly and showed them great hospitality. On the vigil of St. Fi'ancis, Sun- day, Oct. 3rd, Fr. Bartels turned the parish over to the Franciscans. The house consist- ing of two rooms and an adjoining kitchen served as quarters for the nine Friars until a new monastery could be built. Straw-sacks were spread out for the night's rest and were removed again in the morning to make room for the day. Every moniing at a quarter to

four the Friars rose for prayer and medita- tion and then with lanteni in hand they pro- ceeded to the church to read Holy Mass. The road to the church was poor and, in rainy weather, almost impassible. The church it- self was still unfinished and was being plas- tered, the altar was a poor, temporary make- shift and the melodeon stood in the sanctu- ary. In winter it was cold because they did not have any stoves at that time. Eight days before Christmas the Friars moved into the little frame monastery which was erected near the church.
In December the Fathers held a parish mis- sion at Teutopolis and in the following spring they introduced the Forty Hours' Devotion and erected the Stations of the Cross. As soon as circumstances permitted they intro- duced the various other popular devotions and finally in 1864, just 75 years ago, they estab- lished the Third Order of St. Fi'ancis in the parish. The people of Teutopolis generously responded to the efforts of the First Francis- cans and thus their arrival was accompanied by the most gratifying results and signal blessings.
The activities of the Pioneer Franciscans were, however, not limited to St. Francis Parish at Teutopolis. They also began to conduct missions in the suiTounding parishes with great success. Moreover, adjacent par- ishes and, later on, more distant parishes were entrusted to their charge until in the course of time their field of action extended from Cleveland, Ohio, in the East to the Pa- cific coast in the West and from the Domin- ion of Canada on the North to the boundaries of Mexico on the South. They did not only administer to the needs of the faithful but al- so brought tidings of salvation to the native Indians and to the inhabitants of far-off China.
Finally the Fathers at once established their Novitiate in the monastery which has charge of St. Francis Church and three years later in 1861 laid foundation to St. Joseph's College and Seminaiy which has maintained a high reputation as a seat of learning giving bishops and priests to the Church and suc- cessful laymen in the various walks of life.

EPISODE 11. First Railroad in Teutopolis.
"Gimminy creepers! Here she comes! Look at 'er ! Look at 'er come ! They'll nev- er be able to stop 'er ! I tell ye, they'll never stop 'er!"
That excited old farmer doing the shouting was one of the great crowd that gathered in TeutoiX)lis on that hot June day in 1879, when the first railroad came up from Van- dalia to Teutopolis. People from all the sur- rounding territories had to be present for the great event. Some had driven all the night before to get to Teutopolis in time, and oth- ers, already on the ground, had refused to go to bed for fear the train might come in and they would miss seeing it.
There was almost hysterical excitement and men shouted themselves hoarse as the astounding iron horse puffed its way through the heart of the town.
(Pause).
•'They did stop 'er, but gosh! they'll never start 'er agin'," was the shout of the doubt- ing old farmer as the engine came to a halt at the little old depot. However, start ag'in it did, to the great joy of the people who thronged the street about the track.

What's that strange sound? Listen! Look — Look ! There — up in the sky ! It is ! It is! — The fledgeling has grown wings! See! There it goes! It's that new fangled hick-ma-gig those boys from Dayton built! And gosh! the thing really stays up in the air.
Did you ever think one of those egg crates and baling wire gadgets could grow into a sleek powerful clipper of the sky or that within the boundary of our county we would one day have the very heart of aviation?

EPISODE 13.
World War — American Legion.
Teutopohs, loyal and patriotic, did her share in the World War, by sending her young men to fight for their country, and by contributing to Liberty Loans and Drives. It was not long after our entrance into the conflict that 18 boys from here had gone into service, and after it was over, there were 7D.
They had a Loyalty Meeting in the Society Hall in which the people and their Pastor vied in making a magnificent success. So large was the assembly that they had to re- main outside of the Hall. The Rev. Pastor Theodosius blessed the service flag, consist- ing of 18 stars — one being a gold star. The College Orchestra and St. Francis Church Choir provided the musical part of the pro- gram and at the close, two sailor boys, Henry Wessel and Al Wente, (the latter of Lilly- ville) hoisted Old Gloiy to the top of the flag staff in front of the Hall. Loyal to the end these buddies pay their final tribute to the man who served his country to make it a bet- ter place to live in.
(Pause until after taps)
MARCH OF PROGRESS AND GRAND FINALE.
For the future we all cast our hopes! That youth goes on and never backward, let us always pray! Here we present a symbolic iwrtrayal of youth's spirit always pressing forward — always beautiful !
(Pause for drill and exit).
Now that the Book of Records is closed And in the deeds of the old repose Let us then turn to our enlightened age And see the wonders of today's beauties displayed !

I've seen the birth of Man, have seen him through strife and strain and strug-gle!
Man hath doffed the brute and doomed the human !
How through the trials and fears Man rises still and learns
That he is Soul— for I am Time !
(Pause till wheel stops).

The audience will please join us while we sing one verse of "The Star-Spangled Ban- ner."
THE STAR-SPANGLED BANNER
O say ! can you see
By the dawn's early light
What so proudly we hail'd
At the twilight's last gleaming.
Whose broad stripes and bright stars
Through the perilous fight
O'er the ramparts we watch'd
Were so gallantly streaming.
And the rockets' red glare
The bombs bursting in air
Gave proof through the night
That our flag was still there.
O say does that Star-Spangled Banner yet
wave O'er the land of the free And the home of the brave?
