To THE PEOPLE
Of WISCONSIN

Perhaps at no time in our history
were affairs of state at such am in
teresting and perplexing period, for
better or worse.
Strong and intelligent men have
parted ways, as well as have poll
ticians. Even some of the big bu-
sinesses have drifted, one from the
other. What the result will be, re
mains to be seen, but this is sure
that the Milwaukee Journal, the big
daily paper of Wisconsin, is publish
ing the news, both state and nation,
al, from all view points. A staff cor
respondent is now covering Wis,
consin, and it will be of great in
terest to you to follow him from day
to day. These special features cou-|
pied with the current news of the
day, leading editorials and reliable.

interesting, and at a very small cost,

INDIVIDUAL LOCAL PRIDE.

Nowhere does individual effort count
more than in improving the appear
ance Of town. If every citizen
would consider himself a committee
of one to help beautify his home
the question of a clean, attractive
city would be settled. Too often
one man waits for another, or indi-
viduals wait for some organization or
the city authorities to move first,
with the result that little is done.
1t requires no committee or organi-
zation for a man to sweep the side
walk in front Of his house, keep
the lawn, house and garden neat, to
remove pots, pans, broken bottles
and other rubbish from the back
yard and alley way, but it all helps
to make the town more beautiful
One trouble is that here and there
is a man too Indifferent or too indo-
lent to do these things, and one such
man can mar the beauty of a whole
block
Another trouble is found in vacant
lots. 1t is the owners place to
his interest, but generally he fails to
keep the weeds down and it is to
do it and the lot is given over to
weeds and rubbish.
That which is needed is local
pride on the part of the individual
and a general public spirit that will
not tolerate disfigurements.

KEEPING COOL

A trite subject indeed, and yet
like everything else in life, you can
avoid no end OF discomfort by a lit
tie forethought.
Hurry causes more sun strokes
than temperature The Sitting hui
mid shade Of city building is worse
than the burn of the cornfield. OF
course half of America must live and
work in cities. But if city people
would quit running for a train as if
it were an ocean liner, the last to sail
for a week, they would find even Au-
gust more tolerable
The worst sufferings from heat
come to people who are not used to
out door work. The farm hand or
the ditcher may not be an athlete,
but he growls far less about the
scorch of the sun than the lady in
her hammock. People who exercise
daily in the open air, summer and
winter, have a reserve Of physical
force that stands up under the de-
preston OF humid day.
Those who have automobiles find
them a delightful means of cooling
off. Yet If use of the machine mean
that you have given up walking, it
must be followed by a general decline
in vitality that will make one sensi-
tive to abnormal temperature chang
ca.
Of course there are extreme days
when only the very young in years
and common sense try to do athletic
stunts. One is driven TO adopt a
merely defensive attitude against the
depressing power of heat, taking no
needless steps and carrying no I'M
necessary burdens. Still even in
extreme weather little walking
morning and evening often revives
the FACING spirits
Many people suffer from heat thru
pure incidence. If it was cool in
the morning, they put on extra cloth
ing. Then If the thermometer be-
gins to sizzle at noon, they are too
lazy to spend a few minuets chang
ing their clothes, even if they are
at home where they can do SO
easily.
In spite Of everything that one
can do by sensible dressing, self con-
troll, and maintenance Of vitality,
many iaboring people must suffer
needlessly because Of crowded and
i'll ventilated working quarters.
Every man WHO puts up a bust
ness block or q factory ought to
think of how his employees are going
to get thru the hot days In the bu-
siness home he Is making for them.
Let him remember that you can get
more work out OF a comfortable man
than out of an uncomfortable one.

PRIMARY BALLOT 2FT. LONG

County Clerk Eberhardt, besides
being a candidate for reelection, is
a very busy man preparing for the
coming primary election which has
become as important in political worl
ings as general election with many
mere complications and greater detail
The primary ballot, a sample of which
has been received at this office will
be nearly two feet in length by sew
en- inches wide, consisting Of four
sheets, perforated and stapIed to-
gether at the top. Each one of the
ballots thus arranged represents the
candidates Of the four parties, re
publican, democrat, prohibition and so
cial democrat. They are so arrang-
ed as to permit the voter to express
first and second choice for all candi-
dates for all of the various offices
with spaces left to write in such nan
es as are not on the ballot but for
whom the voter would like to vote.
At the best the primary ballot is
rather complicated affair and to vote
it intelligently will cause some hard
thinking. No hired help is allowed
at the polls at the primary or regu-
lar election, which prohibits the hir-
ing of rigs to convey voters to the
polls and engaging parties to distri-
butte literature on election day. A
detailed expense account must be
filed by candidates with the county
clerk, the second Saturday after the
first expense has been incurred, and
thereafter the second Saturday of
each month. Herald.

1t has been suggested that a mu-
nicipal court would be a good thing
for the city of Grand Rapids. A
special act Of the legislature would be
necessary to establish such ak court
II the people really want it, a petition
could easily be circulated and there
is no doubt but what the legislature
would grant US the right to have such
a court. We understand that a mu-
nicipal Judge must be a member of
the bar. Another thing that has beef
suggested is g. Juvenile Court. II
does not seem that a seperate court
for Juvenile cases is necessary in a
city this size. A municipal court
would have sufficient jurisdiction to
cover all cases that might require
the attention Of juvenile court.

PLAYING TAG
WITH CUPID

Sly little Cupid receives q fell blow
in an unfeeling order Of the postmas-
ter general. That official finds that
the general delivery" windows Of
post offices are too much of a trys-
ting place for sentimental young
folks.
Postmasters are now directed to
prevent the improper use of this
service by minors. Where persons
wish to be served at the general de-
livery instead of receiving letters
by carrier or in boxes, they may be
required to state in writing the rea-
sons why they prefer the general de-
livery.
The uIsqspecting citizen may i'm
agine that Miss FIutterby turns up
at the post office twice a day sim
ply to save Dad the bother Of going
around for his business letters.
More likely, it is that she instiRc-
lively feels that Dad would not com
prehend the weighty reasons why
Bob or Bill must send one or two fat
double stamped letters daily to her
address. She suspects that Dad would
say that the Flutterby parlor was
an excellent place for such negotia-
tons, II they must take place.
There is an interesting picture to
be seen almost any evening at the
delivery windows of city post OFFICE
as a long line of fluttering and fem
mime juyenility gathers in their peek
a-boo waists and fluffy hair.
Not all of them maintain the heavy
correspondence suggested above. In
fact many of them do not get let
ter once week. But then there
might b. one you know. Even If
it contained no thrilling messages
from a possible sutton, there might be
views about cold cream and chocolate
candy and park excursions from your
female bosom friend that could not |
possibly wait over night. Then, too, |
if you have an errand at the post
office, it gives a sufficient excuse, |
valid against all inquiry, for walking |
twice up and dow the streets.
