BUSINESS IN WISCONSIN.

Wisconsin-the state of few bust
ness failures.
Wisconsin-the pioneer in the regu-
lation of corporations.
Here are two significant facts. In
the year 1914 less than one half of one
per cent of the firms of the state fail
ed. This admirable record was sur
passed by only one state-SOuth Da-
kota, its percentage being a shade
less. South Dakota, however. is pre-
dominantly farming state, with only
10000 business firms, while Wiscon-
sin is a strong industrial state, with
nearly $4,000 business corporation,
and vast manufacturing interests,
facts which make Wisconsin's record
even more impressive.
The public service corporations
shouted that their business would be
ruined when the railroad commission
took charge of several large classes
of corporations. All the big business
institutions feared the possible ravag-
es of a strong tax commission. The
manufacturers and merchants of the
state were seized with qualms of anx-
iety when all the labor problems of
the state were consigned to a strong
industrial commission. Practically
every phase of corporate industry in
Wisconsin is now under close super
vision by the state.
But business here is more secure
than ever. 1t stands on stronger
foundation than ia other states. There
are fewer failures than before because
these expert commissions set out to
help business. The so-called reform
ers, expected to organize a Ratchet
brigade to destroy property interests,
have conserved property.
The peoples representatives on
these commissions are not destroyers
running amuck. They are placed there
to safeguard the interests of the mass
es, to be sure, but they are equally
concerned in giving the corporations
a square deal.-Milwaukee Journal.

OUR FRIENDS THE BIRDS.

That birds have an economic value
is known by all thoughtful men. 1t
needs but to give thought to the mat
ter and the wrong of ruthless destruc-
ton will be condemned. Bids have
a further use that reaches into the
spiritual world. Their beauty of song,
their grace of action, our interest in
their loves and life, their care of their
young-all these are great inspira-
tions to poetry and story. No one can
make study of bird life without being
raised to more tenderness, to greater
sympathy with mankind, and kindness
to all that live. The companiOnship
of birds brings us nearer the Creator,
the source of all good. 1t adds refine
ment to our nature. 1t elevates US
above that which is sOrdid. Birds
have a moral influence on the COM
munity. Children taught to love and
be kind to birds will be kinder to all
living things, kinder to each other and
more careful not to inflict pain on any.
Then save the birds. They are one of
Gods greatest blessings to mankind
The man who can make them his ia
miliar friends and to lose their fear
of him has accomplished noble work.

A FEW
BURNING THOUGHTS
By ALEX. MILLER.

A boy is always trying to hit some
thing.
Nothing makes man look as ugly
as bowlegs.
Why does it take a trifling man to
be fish peddler?
4
A good many people do not even
own a lead pencil.
Why do so many people always want
to get off jokes? We never do.
A preacher enjoys leaving town on
circus day to show his contempt.
If some men were to take off their
coats it would almost look vulgar.
Every town man thinks the farmers
are worst rooters in the world.
How mad we all get at people who
seem to have time to stand and look!
...- =
1t is always easier for anybody to
to do the work than to clean up the
muss afterwards. - .aa..
;. In a country town a long-haired
man is either an agent or a preacher.
=
If anybody ever calls us dad" an
account of our age, we shall kill him
on the spot.
1t is a great pity, as ambitious as
some girls are to sing, that they can
not do better.
/ Half the people set down as the
"best" people are not the best people
at all.
ticks the envelope, but man ticks the
stamp.
We have missed good many things,
and another one is we never ran a
stand with circus.
The trouble with amateur rain
measuring is that it is usually meas
ured in flaring vessels.
X X
A farmer cannot see how a town
man can possibly succeed who does
not get up until z o'clock.
If a boy has notion that a pipe
improves his looks, he may take it
from us it does nothing of the kind.
*
When we see a person with long
finger nails we want to tell him to
trim them, just as we would want to
tell a kid to wipe his nose.

memory. In the course of time the
unfolding years would have added new
lustre to his memory and added new
records to his prowess. We are glad
that he did not die; we hope that he
will live to a ripe old age when the
fires will have burned into a soft glow
and even those aggressive incisors
will have assumed a benevolent pose.
The country needs its Teddies just as
it needs its Tafts and Wilson's, and the
seven years did stir things up bit.
Having served their purpose, all men
pass and time eventually finds a
niche for one and all.

1t is pleasing to note so many of the
better class of newspapers, both coun-
try and city, gradually eliminating
"quack' advertising from their col
umns. This is partly due to the bet
ter patronage the papers are enjoy
ing from a public that is learning
more and more the value of newspa-
per advertising and also the desire of
the publishers to run their business
in a clean way. Then, again the read
ing public today consciously or uncOn-
seiously, places in its proper class the
paper which prints offensive and mis-
leading advertisements, and this is in
fElencing publications which desire to
lead; not lag.

The biggest thing, the best treasure,
you can give to a man or woman In
this world is to give them work to do
that they know is honorable and worth
while. Work and its meaning is the
purpose of life and the individual who
has learned that in his work lies his
best happiness, will make his life
count Teach your boy or girl that af-
ter the follies and play of childhood
come the real duties of life. Teach
them to learn to do thing well even
though it be a trifling task. Teach
them the virtue of continued effort
under no matter what insuperable
difficulties. See that they are equip
ped with a reasonable education and
train them under proper influences.
Do these things and you will have
justified your purpose.
Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1915-09-08

Lots of people lugubriously tell their
children that childhood is the only
happy time of life and that they
should get all the pleasure they can
in the days of youth. This piece of
folly ought to be knocked on the head.
Learn to live right my little friend,
learn poise and control. Watch the
successful and happy grownups and
you will see that they have about as
good time as you are having and ma
ture life has unfolded better and fin
er things to them.

Every man be he young or old pro-
viding he has red blood in his veins,
who drives "a fast horse, or sits at the
steering wheel of an automobile cap
able of making 80 to so miles an hour,
likes to go fast. That most of the
people who violate speed regulations
recognize their fault and are willing
to pay their fines in a gentlemanly
manner, shows that they are all right
at heart, and merely thoughtless. If
a little child or an old person was run
down and killed they would regret it
terribly. Fifteen miles may or may
not be the right limit; certainly limit
has to be placed somewhere and it
should be adhered to.
