MANS DUTY TO COMMUNITY.

In this world man is here for a
short time and then is forgotten.
Why, then, should the individual be
SO individualistic? Why should ego
rule and men act as though the world
revolved about them?
In the old days the activities of the
world of men centered about the FAM
lily, then about the clan, and all
efforts were made, severally and joint
ly, not to forward the interests of the
individual, but that of the family
and clan. The individual profted by
success only incidentally, the mem
bers of the family and clan yet un-
born protited to an even greater ex-
tent than the generation of the day.
With the abolishment of the clan
spirit much of this spirit has been
lost and we often see individuals who
act as though they alone were the
chosen of this earth and the constel-
lations, the sun and moon moved
solely for them.
1t is only the man who realizes
that he lives in and is part of a
city, country, world, that really
lives full life. This should teach
us that we should give of our time to
the welfare of the city and commun-
ity in which we live, not for personal
or selfish reasons, but that it is a
part of our debt to the world, one of
the duties imposed upon us as toll
for life.-The Beaumont Country.

LOOK FOR GREAT CROPS IN
1914.

Unprecedented warm weather at
this season of the year is one of the
greatest boons Wisconsin farmers
have ever enjoyed, according to Prof.
Il. A. Moore, the farm crop expert of
the college of agriculture. Returning
from tour of the state, he said that
the unusually mild conditions now ex-
listing mean largely increased crop
yields and other benefits next year
for farmers. He stated that 80 or 85
per cent of all plow lands usually
turned i'll the spring, have been culti-
waited this fall for spring planting,
ani apparently the end is not yet in
sight. If other conditions are right
and hail and devasting winds do not
come, he predicted vast benefits in
the way of augmented yields in 1914
BY getting plowing out of the way in
the fall, farmers will be able to plant
early and harvest crops before ruinous
rusts have come to make their ap-
pearance. Fall blowing, according to
Prof. Moore, is decidedly beneficial
to clay lands, which usually must be
left TO spring.

DEATH OF PETER VAN VECH-
TEN.

Peter Van Vechten, father of p.
V. O. Van Vechten, of this city died
in Kingston, N. Y, on Tuesday.
Mr.. Van Vechten came to Milwaukee
in lS45 and resided there until a few
months ago when he went to New
York to spend his declining days with
his daughter. He was Sc years of age
and was born in New York state.
Mr.. Van Vechten v1sacd his son,
Phillip and wife, in this Gty last
summer. During short sojourn acre
we found him to be pleasant and
courteous gentlemen. His son heard
of his illness a few days ago and inn
mediately departed for Kingston, but
before arriving at his destinations
learned of his passing away. He.
however continued his journey and
will accompany the remains to Mil
waukee the former home of decedent.
The Milwaukee Free Press In its
mention of the death of Mr.. Van
Vechten says: ''As a man with un-
blemished character, loyal friend
and having big heart, the time of
his departure from this city several
weeks ago was marked with a big
dinner given by his friends at the
club, where sorrow was unrestrained
at his leavetaking."

THE NEW LAW.

The new eugenic marriage law goes
into effect after January j, 1914
Those contemplating matrimony are
advised to 'read up" before attempt
ing to take the step 'for better or for
worse" Considerable contention
seems to exist in reference to the law
which seems to be as complicated as a
Chinese puzzle. Notwithstanding,
there is no cause for alarm. Our
manageable girls may assume a more
cheerful aspect since the law has been
attacked by Atty. Horace B. Walms-
ley, member of the supreme court
of the U. S. He seems to think that
the marriage ceremony in Wisconsin
is unnecessary and there fore the
eugenic law useless. He says:
"All that is required in this state
is that two persons who are not
married at the time agree to accept
each other as mates," says Mr..
Walmsley. No service is necessary
and the physical examination required
by the late law cannot be enforced" :"

A LIBRARY OF
SO BOOKS FREE
WISCONSIN Bankers' Association Re-
news Offer.

The Wisconsin Bankers Association
has made arrangements with the
Wisconsin Free Library Association
to provide rural communities with
Free Travelling Libraries. The plan
was tried out last year and proved
very successful.
The First National Bank of our
city will be pleased to assist residents
in our rural settlements to obtain the
use of these Libraries. If those who
are interested will please call al the
bank, or write, the officers will be
pleased to explain the nature of the
books and the manner of obtaining
the free use of them.
Think of what a well selected IL
brary of interesting books may mean
during the long winter evenings.
This matter should have immedi-
ate consideration as the supply of
these Travelling Libraries is limited
and the demand is active. adv

POOL AND BILLIARD TOURNA-
MENT.

!, At the Y. M. G. A. something new
in the work of the boy's department
was introduced about two weeks ago.
1t was proposed that pool tourna-
ment be conducted and that it be
carried on by the elimination method.
A large number of high school fellows
entered this and so much interest
was taken I'm the pool tournament
that 1T was thought that billiard
tournament would also be the thing.
The pool table recently purchased by
the boys of the Y is a coordination
table and so can be used for either
game. The pool tournament was
won by Otto Eggebrecht, Albert
Mohr playing him in the final game.
The interest manifested over this
last and deciding game was great
and about % intermediate young
men crowded the high school boys
rooms on that evening to witness this
one game. And so last Monday the
billiard tournament was started and
as much interest is being shown in
this as was in the other. Two classes
of players were organized, as there
were a number of fellows who were
new at the game and therefore could
not run up the score that some of
the experienced players could.
The intermediate bowling leagues
ran their course last week. The
league proved great success and
great interest was shown in every
game until basket ball began to inter
fere, as many ofthe boys on the bowl
ing teams were basket ball enthusiasts.
The boys expect to organize another
league in January sometime. In the
league just over Frank Rowley's team
stood first

SMALLPOX VACCINATION.

On account OF the prevalence of
smallpox in Wisconsin at this time,
the Health Instruction Bureau urges
the serious consideration of vaccina-
tion upon every reader of this paper
One hundred years ago smallpox was
so prevalent in England that one in
ten deaths was due to the cause. So
common were smallpox scars, that a
clear, unmarked skin was used as a
means of Identification. Today, small
pOx scars are exceptional. This fav-
orable situation has been brought
about mainly by vaccination.
Jenner, an English country physi-
clan, discovered vaccine in 1898. His
studies occupied 30 years. He found
a tradition in Worcestershire, that
dairy workers who had acquired COW
poX, accidentally, never contracted
smallpox. His investigation disclosed
much conflicting evidence, due chiefly
TO wrong diagnosis. Finally, he knew
positively that true cow pox did pro-
tect against smallpox. He then rea-
soned correctly, that if accidental
cow pox infection, "a very mild dis
ease in MANI gave protection from a
very fatal disease, It was the duty of
physicians TO secure that protection
for their patients by deliberate vac
cination.
Organizations have been formed to
combat vaccination. Whatever dam
ger attended vaccination in rhe past
is now almost entirely eliminated by
the addition of glycerine in the man.

TAXES WAY UP.

We have now got to have an inspec-
tor of plumbing if Wausau comes un-
der either the first, second and third
class. His duty under the state law
will be to inspect plumbing, and it is
presumed that another man will
have to be hired to attend to the new
licenses which must have to be paid
by hotels and restaurants, under the
new state law. The way taxes creep
up under all this, makes one feel
that he might as well hand over to
the state, county and city, what little
property he may have accumulated.
This year the city in some instances,
is outrageously high as compared
with other years; but each year it has
been on the increase rather than
otherwise.
