Family of William Kresel Taking Another Orphan to Raise.
Mr. and Mrs. William Kresel, south of Rensselaer, are doing their part to supply good homes for orphan boys and they have just taken their second one from 1 the hoard of state charities with the intention of adopting him. Some ten years ago Mr. a\|d Mrs. Kresql adopted a boy, then 5 years of age. He has proven so satisfactory that they are adopting another. yThe little chap was brought to them today, Wednesday, by J. August Brown, of Indianapolis, who is an agent of the state board of parities. He had with him two other boys, about 8 or 9 years of age. He took these on to LaCrosse. Mr. and Mrs. Kresel deserve much credit for their part in providing for unfortunate children and it would be a fine thing if other people who are childless would do the same thing. The board does not want to place the children in homes where the sole object of the foster parents is to make them work. They want to secure good homes, where the little ones will be cared for properly, educated, cultured and taught how to make useful citizens of themselves. Through the various local and state agents the board accomplishes a wonderful good.
