Can You Give a Defini- ri
zion Of Habit and la
You Know How Many
Habits You Have /?
Former Advertising Manager Of Wan,
amakers, Philadelphia.
BY J. r. HAMILTON

PROBABLY the best definition was
Jlven by a student in ten words when
lie said that habit Is "a mental crease
Town which an action runs without
thought
Most people probably think they
lave few habits. but II you will study
yourself for one day you will be fairly
amazed at the number Of mental
:reases YOU have, down which your
actions run without thought.
You will find that you get out OF bed
a certain way In the morning; that
when you dress, you probably put on
he same stocking first; machine
could be made to so through your ac'
TONS at the breakfast table; you take
i certain route down town and
throughout the day your course Is so
nearly matter OF habit that the do.
ing of new thing will startle you,
And this keeps up till YOU take to your
bed at night and turn yourself in the
same position on the some side.
This Is not only true OF our petty
actions but of major things. Even our
larger decisions are pulled out OF
mental pigeonholes OF habit.
Not over four per cent. of us actual,
lythink. We think We think. but
when We stop TO think, we realize that
We don't think-which may be an
Irish bull, but is also an American
fact.
Now habit is "a wonderful thing II
Il is based first on logical reason. To
first think out plan OF action and
then convert that action into n habit
which works on without further
thought. is a remarkable achievement
to attain. Children who are taught
the habit OF saving never find them.
selves In want. It becomes easier for
them TO save than to spend and the
mind naturally follows the easier
course.
The object OF this series OF articles
Is to get YOU into the habit OF reading
the advertising columns as well as
the news columns OF this paper every
day. Once YOU have gotten this habit.
you Will read the advertising as thor.
oughly as you read the news.
Reading the advertising Is a good
habit because advertising is far the
cheapest method OF selling goods OF
any kind, and consequently all goods
that are advertised are either better
In Qality or lower in price.
II you will begin practicing this plan
You will ilnd that over fifty per cent.
Of your pocketbook troubles will cease.
You will start your buying actions
down n mental crease and It will be.
come second nature for you to study
the advertising and to save money
upon everything you buy.

START FOOTBALL TEAM
High School Lads Organized
for Gridiron Battles-Many
New Men in Squad Sched-
ule Being Arranged.

High school football got it's
start last week when the team
organized and a squad of fifteen
reported for the first practice.
Owing to the fact that there was
no team last fall the present line
up shows many new men. The
workout has got to develop an
entire new back field with the ex-
ception of a couple of old-timers
and if the team is to make a very
creditable showing some stiff
practice IS necessary to round
out the new material.
The team last year got no far
ther than organizing and playing
one game with the alumni, CON
sequently football fans had little
to console themselves with. But
this year they look for { n enthu-
slastic team-one full of life that
will give them a full schedule
with it's share of victories. 1t
takes hard work and lots of it to
make a winning team but the
satisfaction that it brings and
the spirit that it kindles makes it
worth while.

SINK MORE TEST BOREs
Total of Six Holes Now Drill
ed-Operations Extending
Along the Eagle River-State
Line Highway.

The F. l. Carpenter interests
are still actively engaged in sink
ing test drills for the purpose OF
locating the ore range that lies
under Villas county. Prospecting
was started early last spring
and TO date six test bores have
been sunk and their contents
sealed for analysis. The first of
these bores was sunk a half mile
south of State Line, two more on
the shores of Crystal lake and
the latest to be drilled is in the
draw about mile south ofState
Line along the Eagle River-State
Line road. What these test drills
are yielding is kept in strict Sc
crecy and only a very few of
those higher up know the real
value of the range. In the mean
time it has been learned that the
interests back of the prospecting
operations are still acquiring the
title TO lands in the region of the
ore find.
The development of an ore field
in the northern part of Villas
county gives promise of an activ-
ity in this section that will sur
pass the liveliness of the pioneer
lumber days. Nothing is known
for sure but indications point to
a rich find of ore in Villas county.
The heavy investments ofcorpor-
ations in real estate in the field,
the eagerness with which new
holdings are secured and the act
ivity in prospecting are all taken
by the optimist to be signs of the
location ola large range of iron
ore and signs of future prosper
ity and development for Villas
county.
1t is stated this morning that
test will be made near Lac Vieux-
Desert. The outfit now near
Portage lake, after two weeks
drilling, is now moving to Lac
Vieux Desert.

MORE STATE RESERVES
Last Deal Adds 10000 acres
to Forest Reserve and An
other Big Transfer Pending
Big Tracts in Villas Co.

The state added 10000 acres
70 its forestry reserve last week
Nv the purchase of land in Villas
and Oneida counties owned bv
the Land, Log and Lumber Co,
of Milwaukee. The document of
sale is signed by Edward Brad
lev of Milwaukee and B. F. Viii
son of Wausau, secretary of the
company. These lands were
cut over nearly twenty years ago
and the state has been negotiat-
ing for the purchase of these
tracts, including nearly two
townships, for over a year past.
The other large sale this year will
be concluded in a few days, when
II. w. Wright Lbr. Co, of Mer-
riH will transfer $1,000 acres of
cut-over land in Villas county to
ghe state
Aside from these two large pur-
shases tbs forestry reserve has
been increased this year by 500
acres of land in the form of $50
small islands In the inland
waters of the northern part of
the state. The reserve is now
composed of about 100000
acres of land.
At the present time the state
owns from $4,000 to 10000
acres of agriculturalland scatter
ed over northern Wisconsin.
These lands have been appraised
both as to the value of the land
and to the amount of the timber
upon them. The price at which
these lands sell vary in accord
ance to the district in which they
are located. Some of these lands
sell as low as So an acre and the
highest price that has been re-
ceived by the state is $35 an
acre. State Forester Griffith
says that he isreceiving hundreds
of applications from people who
desire to locate summer homes
upon the lakes within the
forestry reserve.

A BIT % NOTHIN'

Since Joe Frankel pulled off an
aquatic stunt the first day of the
duck season, thereby making
Frank Adams the goat, said
Adams has been much peeved and
the friendly relationship formerly
existing is now said to be some
what strained. Joe and Frank
are some duck hunters. Four or
FIVE seasons ago Joe took undue
advantage of Frank susceptible
nature and inveigled him, with
much malice aforethought, to
"shoot up" a delectible appear
ing bunch of DEcoY ducks. After
the tragedy Joe swore secrecy,
but let it out some time last
winter much TO Adams discom-
future. But the pact was patched
up with much mutterlngs from
Frank over the per6dy of a boon
companion. Then Frankel gets
peeved and swears vengeance.
He got it. Purposely rocked the
duck boat week ago and Adams
drank Rice creek water standing
up. 1t is said Joe tipped off the
forthcoming stunt to some few
friends prior to its happening,
but has his hands full denying it.
