"A town which allows it's capital
to leak out to neighboring towns is
like leaky barrett will surely
run dry unless it is repaired unless
the pumps can replenish faster than
the leaks can drain. Each citizen
should ask himself, rs one Of the
leaks located at my home?" Does
your wife shop in some neighbor-
ing city; do you buy necessities out
Of town which could be bought
here? OF course all this is ''nobody's
business" but what is nobOdy's
business is everybody's business"
When you sanction one of these
leaks, you hurt yourself and your
family just as much as you hurt
the home merchant.
"A teacher tells this: Zone of
my boys had skipped his classes, de-
ceived his mother, been found out
and caused much unhappiness all
around. took him aside and weIhad
a heart to heart talk. Johnny sat
still, looking at me intently and
seeming to be deeply impressed. l
thought was making great head
way and that my little sermon was
surely penetrating Johnny's brain.
But you never can tell. Just as l
reached the climax in my appeal to
his better self a light of discovery
broke over Johnny. Say, teacher
he said earnestly, it's your lower
law that moves, isn't it,"
A young man living near this

Blue Mounds is now robbed of
its distinction of being the highest
land in Wisconsin and the oldest
hill IN the world. The Wisconsin
State Geology credit it with both of
these things. 1t is 1925 feet high,
800 feet above Lake Michigan. It
was said TO be the tallest of erosive
eminences, the oldest of all hills.
But DR.. Samuel Weldmen, of the
university, now pronounces Rib
Hill, near Wausau, to be 1912 feet
above sea level, 907 feet above Lake
Michigan. 1t is an elongated ridge
six miles in length, hence it's name,
the Rib To a large extent it is still
covered with the original forest, just
as it was when the first white man
came to this state, Jean Nicollett in
1884 dressed as Chinaman, because
he expected to find Cinnamon here,
and introduced himself to the Win
nebago Indians as a Chinese man
DARN. DR.. Weidman says Rib hill
is what is known of Monachrock, a
hill left behind by the water when
wearing away the rest of the sur
face of the ground. Some mass of
rocks at the summit accounts for
this, as in the case of the hundred
foot cap of flint at Blue Mounds.
