BUYING HEALTH INSURANCE.

A prominent man writes:
why shouldn't be able to employ
a physician to examine me periodically
to determine the state of my physical
health? / go to my dentist every six
months If he finds little surface
cavity he fills it before it becomes big.
AS a consequence, my teeth are sonnd.
1t seemed 70 me that if this course
is wise in the care of the teeth, it
ought to be applicable to the balance
of my body. When / applied to my
physician, he laughed and told me to
quit fussing about myself I'm not
hysterical about my health, but can t
see why Ishould be considered crazy
man when suggest that L want to
make certain there amt some little
troubles that can be removed or cor
rected before they become big. Why,
my wife even takes her jewelry to the
repair man periodically, in order that
she won't lose a setting. Why shouldn't
consider my health to be as valuable
possession as jewelin a vanity out
fit? Am crazy or is the doctor?
Answer:
| should say you are mentally sound !,
quite sound, You startled the doctor
He isn't accustomed to such requests.
Haven't you noticed the CONSERVATION
of conductor, when an uncommon
passenger hands him ticket that was
overlooked in the collection?
The ply stefan should have compli-
mented you on your good sense. Like
all other physicians, however, he is
luore accustomed to seeing sick, hys-
terical, imaginative people than hard
headed ones The chances were
hundred to one that you belonged to
the abnormal class. The physician took
that chance and was wrong In the
next ninety-nine similar consultations
he would be right. Not a bad proper
tion in any class of work What is to
be hoped for is that the odds will be
reduced AS more people come to APP
preciate your point of view, there will
be less chance of physicians making
the error this one did.
Your idea is spreading Don't aban-
don it. You might do worse than to
organize a little company to secure
the commodity you need. See a pre-
vious article entitled Cost of Cure"

THE NORTHERN COUNTIES
AT THE STATE FAIR

That it pays to have good lot of
county exhibits at the state fair was
shown more clearly this year than ever
before The upper counties We're there
in numbers and with exhibits difficult
to equal Every booth was filled with
splendid exhibits, and the whole made
wonderful addition to the annual
show
The two striking features were the
long season products and~the fruit
from the northern counties For all
time in the past since the claim of ag-
ricultural excellence was made on be-
half of upper Wisconsin there has been
a feeling upon the part of many that
the seasons were too short. But when
all these counties brought to- the state
fair well ripened field pumpkins, fully
matured hubbard squash, MELONS, to-
bacco, and other products calling for
full growing season, the public at
LEAST that portion of the public that
was at the state fair-must come to
the conclusion that the people of the
upper counties are not at all handicap
ped with the length of the growing sea-
son.
And when the most northern counties
bring to the fair fruit that would take
prizes at any fair in America-apples
that are superior to those grown in the
much advertised regions of the west
it is surely time to admit that the up
per country has future to which it
would be well for all to give attention.
No portion of the state made better
showing in apples than Bayfield, and
| Ashland counties
When the agricultural and fruit ex-
cellence of the counties bordering on
Lake Superior is so conclusiveiy prov
en- as it was at the 1914 state fair there
is no room to discount any portion OF
the great commonwealth of Wisconsin

STATE FAIR.
BIZ JOHN SWEETHEART.

Although the events of the 1914
State Fair are over, their effect on the
people of the State and surrounding
states will be evidenced in the growth
add development of our country OF
the many features of the fair, the ex-
hi5its from the various counties stand
out as the most valuable 1t was a
noteworthy fact that the Northern
counties were well represented and
made creditabls showing. Marathon
one of the Northern counties winning
second on her exhibit proves the posi-
bilities of these counties. Among the
extreme North counties of which For
est is one, the exhibit of grasses and
clovers was immense. On grains how
ever these counties could not compete
with the older Southern sections. In
potatoes also the North had the shade
on the rest of the State. Even the old
potato county, Waupacarwas left be-
hind.

have land for sale to boost the devel-
opment by doing their utmost to put
more settlers on the land When the
call comes for land we must show the
outsider that Forest county has ad
vantages that equal the very best not
only ia Wisconsin but in the whole
country.
The Forest County Exhibit through
the efforts of few public spirited citi-
zens and the County Fair association
was made possible. The placing and
care of county booth is no small
task and means hard work and no in
dividual returns. Of those who work
ed for the showing of Forest county we
should mention the following; Mr..
Brigham OF the Agricultural Society
has worked faithfully all summer col
Letting and preparing the samples for
exhibit and although he did not go
with the exhibit his work was no less
valuable. Mr.. Sherman also gave
much time as well as providing pro-
ducts from his farm. Exhibits were
received from =. S. Smith, A. Rino all,
j. d. Grandjne, Len Rogers, F. Ness
and G. Rasmussen. These people should
be commended for their work.

course this is impossible but if we hal

have 300 bushels ard this is possible

Do you?
Remember the Potato Exhibit al
Grand Rapids November Is, 10 and 20.
We can get better prices if we show
people that we have good stock. Ask
/ the Co. Representative about the ex-
hibit.
| DO not wash your potatoes for ex-
hibit. Clean them with a soft brush
after the dirt has dried and then put
away in cool dark place. 1t is best to
leave them in crates SO that air will
get to them. ~ are
Are you going to get some good
stock this winter? Get in touch with
your neighbor and buy in car lots. A
carload of cows can be handled at once
with much less expense than if shipped
one or two at time.
Be careful to save a good share of
those rootcrops as they are what will
make the COW give lots of milk this
winter. If you have none just put that
down for next year. It's always time
to plan for next year.
Burn up all potato vines and rubbish
from the potato fields this fall so that
diseases will not be carried over in the
soil. It is also good thing to clean
up around the trees in the orchard.
Diseased twigs will start trouble next
year.
What is farmer? 1t is becoming
popular for all classes of people to put
in garden and then pose as farmers.
A man in store has few acres and
hires man to work this and even
though he may have been raised on a
farm his knowledge of actual condi-
tlons Is meager. Farming today is
vastly different from what it was a few
years ago. High priced land has COM
PEELED different methods on the farm.
1t is time we considered mans abili-
ty as farmer by his success in pro-
ducing good farm products at a profit
to himself above cost of labor and in
vestment. The da bbler in the dirt has
no right to the name. The Spectator
is not producer. He gets the result
of the real farmers work. 1t is pro-
ducing farmers we want and on the
farm we should ask ourselves the
question. Is my land making money
by producing crops or by increasing in
value because someone else raises the
good crops?

WHY AUTO TURNS TURTLE.

On account of the large number or
automobiles turning turtle nowadays,
killing and manning many OF the oc-
cupants. there has been much thought
on the matter by which such accidents
will be less frequent. 1t has been said
apparently with good logic, that TIE
turning over of automobiles is not
caused by bad roads or fast driving; 1T
is because the driver loses his head
and consequently control of the ma
chine. The driver of an automobile
when in danger of turning turtle feels
the wheels skidding into the ditch and
intuitively turns the front wheels to
the center of the road. This has
tendency to turn the machine at right
angles to the direction of the momen-
tum and turning over is inevitable, II
the machineis running alta brisk speed,
Instead of doing this thing, the old
and experienced driver will turn the
front wheels to the bottom of the
ditch when the rear wheels are felt
skidding; he remains that way until he
has the machine under control The
principal of the rule is that as long as
the wheels are kept in line of momen-
tum the car cannot turn over but as
soon as the machine is headed across
the line of motion then it must roll,
if the rate of speed attained is suf-
fcientlv great.

Some of our hills would make good

alfalfa is no catch crop but requires
careful preparation.
Save few of those good hills for

variety for all you will plant next year.

WIS COMMERCIAL SCHOOLS AND
BUSINESS COLLEGES.

! 8report issued today by the Federal
Bureau of Education shows that there
are twenty-eight commercial schools
and business colleges in Wisconsin.
The 1918 enrolment was 3,S72 pupils.
1t is estimated that more than half
this number completed commercial
courses and a larger number are now
employed in Wisconsin business insti-
tutlons. Wisconsin ranks fourth with
other States in number of business
colleges.
In the entire nation there are 61s
business colleges and commercial
schools and they accommodate loo, 557
students annually. This is an average
annual attendance of go pupils per
school.

BACK TO THE sMOKEHoUsE.

Farmers in all parts of the country
are watching with interest an expert
ment which is being madc in Brooks
county, Georgia. The Georgia farmers
objected to the commercial system un-
der which they were receiving but
seven and eight cents a pound for the
pork which they raised, while they
saw the nam and bacon of commerce
retailing in their own markets for 25
cents a pound. They resolved To re-
establish the ante bellunI smokehouses
on their farms and Immediately car
ried the resolution into effect. Through
cooperation they have commenced
marketing their products in the finish
ed form. They find that the profits
which they make from curing their
own meats are relatively larger, con-
sideripg the time and expense involved
than those which they were receiving
from marketing hogs on the hoof.

When man is through with his
days work and is sitting down resting
in his home. he cannot read the adver-
tisements on the fence, nor the hand
bills and circulars that were left on the
doorstep during the day and which
have blown away or been destroyed.
He calls for his home paper and there
he finds not only the news of his inn
mediate community, bnt the announce
ments of his home merchants, who are
his neighbors and friends, and with
nothing to bother his mind he reads it
carefully and calls his wifss attention
to it and they decide that they will go
to the stores and examine what is adj
vertised. If the merchant has not over
stated the facts he viii profit by his
announcement in the public press.
