Eye Talks
By ]. S. Belsinger

NOULD you do you think, place cash
~ value on your sight Would you, for
any price, be willing to live the rest of your
days deprived of the use of your eyes?
Ridiculous questions, you say.
Not at all.
With all of boasted practicability more
people suffering to-day from eye discomforts
than would care to admit it. And why? Because
in the majority of they not willing TO have
their eyes examined for fear of having to wear
glasses.
An oculist---a physcian---whom you should con-
suit if your eyes giving you any trouble-wi not
give you glasses. Neither will he prescribe them
unless you need them
But if he does prescribe them: it's your part of
the work that will make for your perfect comfort
to that his prescription is taken to practical
optcian, where efficient, capable, and thorough
service enter into the making of the glasses that
the oculist prescribes.

Wisconsin's Biggest Farm.

News comes from Rhinelander that
Wisconsin's biggest farm is rapidly be-
coming larger, The Stark Potato com
pany cleared 400 acres in 1919, 1000
acres in 1913, and appears bent upon
clearing a still larger acreage this
summer.
This company now has camps,
comprising 1875 men, clearing land. A
mammoth steam stumping machine is
disposing of the stumps at a rapid
rate. There will be more than 1000
acres of cleared land in this farm by
the end of 1914, and the company an
ounces a determination to continue at
this rate for several years. And yet
some people doubt the value of upper
Wisconsin.

ACTED RIGHT.

In n leading editorial article The
Milwaukee Daily News sustains the
Democratic state central committee for
deciding not to call "A state convention.
In closing this article says:
These citations of the possibilities in
the situation proclaim IN undisputed
emphasis against any steps, open or
subtle, to overthrow in effect the fun
damental guarantees Of the primary
election law.
If designed for that purpose, such
steps would be grossly reactionary.
The rank and file of the Democratic
party will not stand for any such at
tempt in the open or covertly. In any
event should not the incident be fairly
considered u closed one in the logic, the
law, the custom and the jealOusies Of
rights the rank and file are perfectly
justified in entertaining, on the face Of
the returns of the case at bar? This
article is intended to make no charges
against anyone, but it is intended as II
discussion Of evil possibilities and to
advise the conservation and defense Of
principles.

WORK NECESSARY TO
Be TENNIS CHAMPION
Girl Tells Of Training Months
For a Single Match.

New York.-It is not an easy thing
for a girl to win n tennis championship.
But the hardest work is not done
around the nets while the contest is
actually on; it is keeping in physical
condition for such Il match.
Miss Clare Cassel of this city, nation
al indoor tennis doubles champion. has
compiled twelve rules which, she de-
%clares, must be rigidly adhered to be-
fore one can hope to win success rs a
tennis player. They are: First, nc golf;
second. no candy; third, no dancing;
fourth, no cigarettes; fifth, no reading
at night; sixth, nc wine or cocktails;
seventh, no swimming OF match days;
eighth, massage after each days play;
ninth, luncheon on a glass of milk and
a sandwich; tenth, plenty of rallying
exercise before each match; eleventh.
drinking nothing during a match ex-
cept barley water; twelfth, bed at 10
p. m. and nine full hours undisturbed
sleep.
Miss Cassel in telling of the work
necessary to keep in condition and the

mo matter how primed a a really
Is, a five set match finds him all in.
He has to play harder to win-or lose
than any man who goes through nine
innings of baseball. A championship
match with the players wen and the
score often running to deuce games
and deuce sets will find both men ut
terly exhausted at the end of the play.
1t makes many more demands on the
players than W. halves of varsity
football.
And If tennis means this for men
perhaps one may imagine what it
means for women and girls. If you
play to win matches, If you long for
the brackets which proclaim you a
champion OF your club or your county
or your state. you must be ready to be
grueled week in and week out, for ten
mis- of that class is Il grueling game.
Consider the girls and young mar
ried women who follow the tourna-
ments from place to place all the live
long season. 1t means five months OF
training and self denial. five months Of
the hardest kind Of work from June
through october. And then they must
play indoors at least twice a week all
winter long If they would keep in
form"

PLAYING FAIR WITH THE
PRESIDENT.

The following article from The Mil.
waukee Sentinel. Republican, is com
mendable for its fine manly spirit.
Both the press and the public can af
ford to play fair with the president.
Few, If any presidents since Lincoln,
have encountered more perplexing diff
culties than President Wilson.
A committee of scheming Washington
politicians saw a cheap opportunity to
make capital against Mr.. Wilson.
Three or four days before Memorial
day, when he was absorbed in looking
after many interests, he was invited
to make the annual address at tn,
Arlington cemetery. There was not
time, then, to prepare an address ever
II he could have put aside his many
official duties, and he declined.
That was just what the tricksters de.
sired. They rushed to press associa.
tons and sent broadcast the statement
that Mr.. Wilson could speak at tn,
dedication of a confederate monument
but not ON Memorial day. and also ask
ed &, A. r, posts to appeal to Com
mander in Chief Gardner to cancel hi
promise to be present at the dedication
of the confederate monument. who's,
cornerstone was laid after an address
by President Taft two years ago,
Mr.. Wilson had promised fou,
months age to make the dedicatorN
address. A few veterans begged Col
Gardner to absent himself, but in vain
as will be seen by the report Of tn
ceremonies of dedication.

The Old Guard.

Chippewa Falls Independent If the
people don't watch out the old political
guard will be back III power by Janu-
any /, 1918. In Wisconsin the stalwarts
by using the high rate of taxation as an
argument has required a very favorable
organization and are putting to the
front the leaders that were prominent

tory and will stand for election again,

much credit for consistency and stead

High Taxes and High Tariff.

The Brodhead Independent Register
They tell us that the politicians are
going to wage the coming campaign on
the issue of a high tariff. We doubt if
the people of Wisconsin, at least, will
take much stock in high tariff as a
cure-all for the political or commercial
but started to rid ourselves of the OBJ
Jectionable in politics, and no old time
tariff issue can be rung in at this time

Middle Bass Island. O.-Innt ne was
taken to Middle Sister island, Lake
Erie, three weeks ago by a man who
said he owned the place and who left
him food enough to last a week. but
who never returned, is the story told
by Henry Adair, fifty, who says he
lives in Detroit, brought here by mem
bcrs Of Il fishing party who rescued
him in what appears was the nick Of
time.
Members of the party fishing in Lake
Erie off Middle Sister island, isolated
near the Canadian line seventeen miles
from here, were attracted by the fran
tic waving Of a shirt. Drawing closer,
they discovered Adair. He was enact
ated and starving. All he had left Of
his store Of fOOd was a few crusts OF
bread.
Adair told his rescuer that a man
accosted him in Detroit and asked if
he wanted employment. lie said he
was to have been employed to look
after the premises, although he found
on arriving on the island there was
practically nothing to look after.
His scanty food supply was eked out
with CLAIMS he found in the sand. His
days he spent trying to signal help
from passing boats.
