AGGRESSIVE MEN
IRE NEEDED

One of the most difficult things
in the world is to do something
that affects the public, differently
from what the people of the COM
munity have become accustomed
to. Yet that is one of the greatest
needs of the average small town
or country community.
If there is a public improvement
of any kind started there are
knockers, and in a majority cases
the real motive for knocking is
because something is being done
differently from what they are ac-
customed to.
The life of the city is different
from that of the country, There
the quickening influences of
growth and civilization accelerate
dew elopement, cooperation is IA
voluntary and there is less need
for a large number of leaders.
In the country the problem is
more complicated. The average
man lives the year around in a
rut. Many of his customs he has
inherited from his father. Others
he copies from his neighbors. As
a result, life proceeds from one
years end to another with not
one-tenth degree of the progress
witnessed in the city, into which
is all the time pouring new ideas
and new influences.
Thousands of small towns and
country communities forfeit each
year to the cities some of their
very best and most talented young
men; and it is principally for this
reason. They become Disguised
with the old ruts and want to get
out of them and away from them.
They want something better.
In this respect, one or two wide
awake, energetic, self-sacrifcing
progressive young men in a COM
munity can write themselves down
as benefactors to their community
by starting something of a pro-
gressive nature which their neigh
bors are too blind, too lazy, or too
busy to do or see the need of.
The results may not be apparent
at once, but if the task is followed

Governor Hays has issued a pro-
clamation designating the 3rd and
4th of September as Good Roads
Days, and asking every citizen of
the state to celebrate those days
by working the road. Our folks
need to do a lot of celebrating of
that kind.

Several miles of fine concrete
sidewalks, an electric light plant
and handsome new brick church
building. If Newark can get all
these this year she will have made
pretty fair progress. The side
walks are a certainty, and the
light plant seems to be coming
along nicely. Why not build the
church?

Governor Hays, newell, he's
the fifth governor we've had this

be doing about as we'll as any of
the others did-so we got no kick
coming.

The money you spend will build
something somewhere. But where
depends on whether you spend

Cold Wave Hits North west

The cold wave of the first OF
the week which was general
throughout the middle west hit
Northern Wisconsin on Monday
morning. The cold weather be-
came noticeable as late as last
Saturday morning when the
wind shifted around to the
northeast. Sunday continued
wet and cold and on Monday
morning when the people of this
section arose from their beds
they noticed snow falling
Around the lake region the
snow melted as rapidly as it fell
but back in the country the
snow remained on the ground
in places during the greater
part of the day. AS long as the
wind continued to keep the air
moving the danger from frost
was slight but On Tuesday night
the wind died down and the
frost was to be seen on the
ground Tuesday morning.
The frost was heavy enough to
do considerable damage to the
tender crops such as tomatoes,
cucumbers, pumpkins, but some
of the more hardy varities of
garden truck withstood the
freeze without serious effect. In
some places corn was hit and
this will have to be cut. In
many places around the lake
shore region corn was matured
and while the frost may have
damaged some crops, yet the
damage to farmers W as slight
as most crops were in a mature
state.
Down the state the frost was
much more severe than here and
passenger on incoming trains
report quite heavy fall of snow
in places. In some places frost
damaged all growing crops.

Gathering Statistics

Earl d. Strait of Washington,
D. 9. who represents the agri-
cultural department of the
United States, was in the city
the first of the week. Mr.. Strait
is out gathering statistics as to
the methods of clearing cut over
lands and the information he
gathers will be used as a basis
for legislation looking to expert
ments by the government in
land clearing. The proposition
is something like the irrigation
project carried on by the govern
ment in the western states.
While here Mr.. Strait visited
some of the farms which have
been cleared by dynamite,
others which have been cleared
by stump pulling machines and
still others where goats and
sheep have been used to clear
off the under brush, in each in
stance getting the relative cost
of clearing per acre.
The government have men in
various parts of the country who
are doing work similar to that
being done by Mr.. Strait and as
soon as they have completed
their reports legislation along
these lines will be introduced.
Mr.. Strait, says there is
millions Of acres. of cut over
lands throughout the United
States that is idle and the de.
partment of agriculture is en-
deavoring to devise ways by
which the government can offer
help to those going upon cut
over lands.

To the Times:
| would like once more to ask for
a little space in your valuable paper
to instruct the publicos to the work
in opposition to righteousness. viz
prohibition.
| don't hesitate to say that the
tearing down of the prohibition post
ers on the telephone poles etc is the
work of the saloons and their
sympathizers.

through the city such as that
advertising Mr.. James Fl. Woeten-
dyke, who is to speak in the
Norwegian Lutheran church this
evening, Sept. 25th, of which you
have seen in stores out of their
reach and they have been torn down
within a few hours at err being
posted. 1t seems as though Satan
has followed me, tearing them off.
Now if that isn't the works of the
devil | would like to know what is.
Posters to advertise cock fights,
dog fights, prize fights and all
shows and political parties, but not
on tho liquor question, remain there
for months and years.
If this tearing down of prohibition
posters and advertising is not
stopped, it shall be looked after and
some may get into trouble.
Yours in friendship,

"When fire-blight attacks the
orchard the only remedy to prevent
infection and to stop the formation
of cankers in the limbs where the
disease lives over winter, is promp,
removal and destruction of al
diseased portions of the trees.
This is the answer George F. Potter
horticultural expert at the college Of
Agriculture of the University OF
Wisconsin gives to Wisconsin
growers who seek remedy.
Fire-blight has gained firm hold
in Wisconsin and owes it's name to
the peculiar scorched appearance
which 1T causes in the twig. The
leaves turn a reddish-brGwE in
color. The stem withers and turns
dark. THIS means that tiny
organisms have gained entrance ito
the twigs through the wound or
some prick in the soft-growing tip.
These organisms multiply with
such rapldity that, if unresisted,
they will damage a tree in very
short time.
The expert advises growers to
dip tools with some disinfectant as
solution of bichloride of mercury
after every two or three cuts when
removing blighted twigs. If this is
done, bacteria on tools becoming
contaminated from touching the
twigs will be destroyed instead of
being carried to each fresh cut.

SONG OF PEACE.

"HD grass 10 green on Bunker

The waters sweet In Bran

The sword sleeps in the
scabbard still;
The farmer keeps his flock and
vine
Then who would mar the scene to-
day
With vaunt Of battlefield or fray?
The brave corn lifts In regiments
Ten thousand sabers In the sun;
The ricks replace the battle tents;
The hammered tassels toss and
The neighins steed, the bugle's
These DO but stories OF the past.
The earth has healed her wounded
breast;
The cannons plow the field no
more;
The heroes rest. Oh, let them rest
In peace along che peaceful shorei
They fought for peace; for peaoe
they fell.
They sleep in peace. and all is
we'll.
The fields forget the battles fought;
The trenches wave In golden
grain
Shall we neglect the lessons taught
And tear the wounds agape again?
Sweet Mother Nature. nurse the
land
And heal her wounds with gentle
hand.

The recent decision of the state SUI
preme court, making the county treas
urer the official tax collector, goes
far toward Strengthening out legal
tangle in many counties. On the 9TH
er hand, it makes new problem for
the county commissioners and the
treasurer. With salary fixed for the
treasurer personally, there is how
ever, no provision for his deputies.
The task of collecting the taxes calls
for large force in the office doing
such work for about four months of
the year, while the rest of the year
such force would be idle In the as
SCISSORS office the same thing is true
with several months Of hard work re-
curing a large clerical force 1t is
almost out of the question to get com
petent help for such irregular work,
SO that the problem which confronts
the commissioner will be to harmonic
the work of the two offices and not
duplicate the large force in the two.
By combining the two offices
the work which is now carried on by
the assessors office can be done for
both and thus save the taxpayers.
