ROBERT LOUIS sTEVENsON's -AD-
VICE

VICE.
Here is some good advice from the
pen of Robert Louis Stevenson:
"To be honest, to be kind, to earn a
little and to spend little less, to re-
ntunoe when that shall be necessary
and not be to embittered-here is a task
for all that a man has of fortitude. /"
The ladder by which the sverae e
man climbs is the one VII Oh has en-
graved uron it the truth that to sue
coed one must spend less than he
earns. = It Is by this method men are
able to climb out of the wage class into
the salaried group and into the field
of individual endeavor. The drifter is
the man who spends his Income and
more as the days 60 by. Soon he
passes the meridian of life and STARTS
down the slope on the other side with
out having made provisions for the
venerable years. Unless you have an
income sufficient to carry you through.
see to it that you save a little each
year. This money placed at COM
pound interest will do wonders even
at a low rate and the peace of mind 1t
purchases is worth many times the
eftord.

O. D. BRANDENBURG FOR COVER
NOR.

TWIN
The press dispatches from Madison
staGe that the citizens of that city,
irrespective of party, called upon Mr.
o. D. Brandenburg, editor of the
Madison Democrat, and asked him tc
stand for the officer of Governor. 1t
is compliment of no small signif-
canoe paid to one of Madison's fore
most citizens. For years Mr.. Bran
denburg has been one of the ablest
and most conspicuous figures in the
newspaper field in W iaconsin. To the
manifold issue and problems of the
day he has brought the illuminating
tribute of pen which has been al
all times both trenchant and fearless
His fight today 10 stop the waste
and extravaganza at Madison is being
universally praised by every well
wisher of the state. 1t is not the least
invidious to say that Mr.. Brandon
burg is we'll equipped for the office OF
Governor. He is graduate of the
University of Wisconsin and has the
courage to cFiticise its shortcomings
He is a man OF broad culture and OF
vast information regarding state af-
fairs, having spent the greater part
Of his life in Madison and made him
self familiar with every department of
the state government and can speak
with interest if not with authority
on topics of the most general nature.
If Mr.. Brandenburg could he prevail
ed upon to accept the place it would
be helpful to the Democratic party
in its present disorganized condition,
because, we believe that clean cut,
able gentleman like Mr.. Bradenburg
would be acceptable to both factions
of the Democratic party. We lift our
helmet TO Madison's valiant knight
of the pen and hope that more citizens,
not politicians, will call upon him and
point out to him the Importance of
his valuableiservice to the people at
this time-The Chippewa Indepen-
dent.

To the Editor:-The Twentieth Cen
fury club of Barabou in session on
March 10, discussed the question
which has been commented upon
quite at large in your recent Issues as
to the appropriate name for the new
lake to be formed in the vicinity of
Merrimack, caused by tue naming of
the Wisconsin river. The different
names, original and otherwise were
discussed by the memb ers, looking at
them from point of comprehension
and appropriateness. In consldera-
ton of the fact that'the lake is formed
by the Wisconsin river (Which means
rushing water) and the lake lies
wholly in Wisconsin, no name other
than Lake Wisconsin will be appro
pirate. Therefore, we the mem bers oil

Harrisburg, 8. D., March 9:-To the
Editor: In regard to the Portage
Democrat mans idea that "Sauco,''
as q name for the new lake "sounds
like new breakfast food Brand" /
would say that as far as "sound" goes
"Wau-ona" appears to us like the
first sound a Portage resident makes
when he wakes up in the morning
after going to bed filed with booze.
And now that be has aroused himself
to the extent of taking stretch and
remarking "Wau-o-ua," he will no
doubt turn over for another 100 year
nap, forgetting that there is a million
dollar enterprise nearing completion
within thirty miles of his booze )ints
while he is slumberlng. Would also
say that the name of "SAuco" has the
same sound as that of ''5aco'i Maine,
city considerably larger than Pc =
tage, and with a thousand times more
hustle than the sleepy old burg at tie
end of the plank road ever had.
Yours very truly

FREIGHT RATE ON TRUCK
FAVORABLE TO HICKMAN.

In connection with the truck
growing movement, some nave
yentured to express doubt rs
to adequate shipping facilities for
our products, both as regards
rates and quick transportation.
This fear is probably Justified as
result of experiences of some
ten or twelve years ago, when, we
are told, this movement was ag.-
tated and shipping facilities turn
ed out 10 be a Thorn in the
flesh of the proposition.
The Young Mems Business
League. which is standing spon-
sor for the truck movement OF
this section, investigated the
shipping business about the first
thing; il realized we could not
turn a wheel without favorable
transportation facilities. The
result of that investigation was
very satisfactory; otherwise, m
matter would have been drop
ped. We can assure oil prospec-
| tive growers that we have ex-
ccllent advantages in the way OF
shipping. The rate, furnished us
is practically the same as HUN
boldt. We have it in black an1
white. and anyone who desires
may inspect it, While 1t covers
