People living ia the Fox river valley,
who see the immense number Of car
loads Of pulp wood coming in on the
railroads destined for the paper mills
and the immense piles of wood
in the yards of the mills themselves,
are disposed to think that the pulp
wood industry is one that is making
big inroadS on the remaining forests
of this country. In fact even Presi-
dent Roosevelt in a recent message
based upon this idea his recomenda-
tion for an immediate repeal of the
duties LEVIED upon wood pulp. As a
matter of fact however the wood used
in this country for making paper
amounts to but five or six per cent of
the total consumption for all purposes.
1t is easy to realize this without re-
course to statistics if one will stop to
think about it. Think of the saw mills
at work up and down the length Of the
land, and think of the fact that
every village has its lumber yard and
every city its dozen, score or hundreds
Of them, while on the the other hand
one may find whole states with not a
paper mill in them and not a
silver of wood used for pulp or paper
making. Appleton Post

JOE MARTIN
CAUGHT SUCKER

tnrninq Home Last Night
Good by 7 IN going. :"

Good by 7 IN going"
So saying a we'll known character
around town Tor the past twenty years,
with more "booze" than he could well
carry, raised his hands above his head
and with his hat pulled down tight,
jumped from the Green Bay bridge
shortly before supper last evening.
Joe Martin, fortunately was passing
near the bridge with his duck boat
just as the shouts and splash occurred,
and he hoved too and waited for the
man TO rise. In short time he was
rewarded, and with long vigorous
stroke, the wOuld-be-suicide started
to swim to the boat. On reaching it,,
he desired to get in but not desiring
to be capSiZed, Joe made the victim
trail along in the cold water, as he
towed him ashore.
"Whew. 1t was pretty cold" re.
marked the thoroughly Sobered man.
Then he added Twenty years ago, l
could have made it like d-n. Don't
tell anybody ="
With this parting statement and re-
quest, he started for home dripping
wet.

the year lS4S, a single man looking
for good location in Amecica. He
lived in the city of New York for
three years, when he moved to Men
treal, Can. In 1849 he was married in
Quebec to Miss Mary Cole, and after
wards moved to Belville, Ontario.

Somewhere in the sunshine stands
a ladder whose rounds are labeled
Hard Work" and whose top is lost
in the clouds. Somewhere in the

whose feet pursue the even tenor of
their way along the lines Of least reSis-
lance. 1t is not written that the noun

Sensational stories regarding the
Illness of Senator LaFollette have
been published all through the east
and west According to many Of
these reports the Senator could not
possibly recover. 1t is strange, how.
ever, that so much interest should
be taken through the nation in the
state Of the Senator's health, as was
the case in this state several years
ago. While Senator LaFollette'S i'll
ness is to be deplored, his friends are
thankful that it is nowhere near as
have the people believe.

One of the lessons of the recent
election for national delegates is that
the ''letter scheme" is playing out.
Those favored with names which be-
gan with the first letters of the
alphabet have been heretofore conSid-
cred lucky. The recent election, how
ever proved that the Badger voter
is intelligent enough to ascertain his
man, and vote for him regardless of
the position of the name on the tick
ct. We have heard it stated 10y pro-
minent politicians that the voters
were not intelligent enough to dis
criminate, but the recent returns is
but one straw which indicates the
direction of the wind.
