The Naming of Wisconsin Counties

Richland county was first set off in
1850. Two years later, in describing
the county for the State Historical.
society, local citizen stated" There
are many large tracts of we'll watered
and rich land in this county"-hence
the appropriateness of its name, Rich
land.
Arguing from analogy it might be
supposed that the name of Rock coun-
ty was chosen to indicate the char
acter of the land. Not so, however
Rock county takes it's name from its
principal river. in the eighteenth
century tbs was called by the French
"Riviere de la Roche" (Rock RiverJ.
after the chain Of rocks at the mouth
of the stream, in the vicinity of the
modern city Of Rock Island, Illinois.

CITIES THAT N0URISH
INDUSTRIES THRIVE
Citizens Should Take interest In Poll
tics to Insure Encouragement OF
Manufacturing Enterprises.

"The thriving industrial cities OF TO
day are those that seek to do the pest
for their industries" says a prominent
Milwaukee manufacturer. Even the
practice of giving factory sites free 10
manufacturers as an incentive to locate
in the smaller communities Is still Id
vogue.
"There are many towns well located
with respect to railroad facilities ana
waterways, and also convenient to good
labor markets, that are seeking INDUS
tries, yet, despite this competition Tor
industries, there are many cities that
are actually hostile to them. Some are
unwittingly driving away the support
of the populace. 1t can only result in
industries leaving, and if industries
continue to leave what is going to be
come of the population?
In my opinion, it rests with the peo-
pie. The people themselves should take
a greater interest in their town coun-
ellis, in their state legislatures and in
their national government. Then much
Of the unfair, unreasonable class legis-
lation could be prevented. As it is, the
professional politicians often have full
sway. "-IndustriG Conservation, Neao
York.

WANTS AMERICAN
SOLDIERS IN FRANCE

London. April Winston
Churchill, former first lord OF the ad-
now himself In khaki, wants
an American expeditionary force sent
to France as soon as ossible---simply
for the effect the presence OF Ameri-
cans would have on the allied forces.
"Of course. can only express my
personal opinion" he said to the
United Press today. ''but Il, seems to
me certain that the presence Of even
single American division on the
battle fields OF France or Flanders
this year would exercise encourage
ment out Of all proportion to the ac-
tual number OF men employed. II
was always represented to us that the
timely arrival OF even a small force
OF British troops In France would
stimulate and cheer the heart OF
every French soldier.
"As Il turned out. our small army
achieved very great material results
In addition to It's moral effect. Per-
'haps II played a decisive part n
the rupreme events OF the 0penin {
phase OF the war. But now when the
terrible weight and burden of this
struggle has pressed for nearly three
years upon the French, British and
Belgian troops, the arrival Of the AM
er!can flag and the American uni
form on the actual line OF battle
would be the verltable sign OF APP
preaching deliverance and OF victory
and would kindle 10y and enthusiasm
In every heart"
