GIVE THE GLAD HAND TO THE
AUTO TOURIST

A little friendliness goes a long
way toward making life more agree
able and will pay good dividends.
There has been some complaint on the
part Of automobilists because of un-
necessary persecution on the part of
some village and town officers, and
because of excessive charges made
by garagemen along the automobile
route leading north from Grand Rap
ids. Travel by automobile during the
summer months has become very pop
ular. Wausau is visited by touring
parties in large numbers. These peo-
pie usually are fairly we'll to do, and
will gladly stop off enroute in places
that appear to them as attractive and
where a hearty welcome can be eX-
pected They are willing to pay the
usual fair price for service we'll rem
dered. The tourist business can be
made very profitable to any city. 1t
would be exercising just common bus
mess sense for cities and villages to
make a special effort toward attract
ing the tourist. This can be done in
many ways. Even the little village
can be made stopping place for the
auto tourist, by showing little agree
ableness in the manner in which it
words the reading on the sign mark
ing the village limits.
1t can hardly be expected that any
one will want to spend much time in
place where he met with a threat
right at its very doors; neither will
the autoist want to stay in a place
where the officials have the reputa-
ton of making the enforcement of
automobile laws a mean and profit
able business. Such things are passed
on, on the day, and such places and
such routes are finally avoided by the
tourist.
AS to how appreciative some COM
munities are of the tourist business
will be understood when the cities
of Rhinelander and Eagle River and
others have for the past month been
running quarter page lads" in the
metropolitan papers illustrating the
course of certain auto route lead
ing TO these cities and adjacent coun-
try. OF course, this route did not lead
through Wausau, and it is reasonable
to say that these ads" have been at
tracing large number of tourists.
Wausau garages, auto supply hous-
es, hotels, restaurants, in fact, all of
Wausau, should put, its best foot for
ward in its invitation to the auto
tourist. The tourist will gladly spend
few days with us, and we may thus
entertain angels unawares as has
happened to section not so very far
from our city. Let us give this mat
ter our earnest consideration,

Slackers and Knockers

Slackers are termed men who seek
to eVade military service. There are
other kinds of slackers, too. They
may be Americans and their ale
glance to the United States may be
absolutely sincere. Let us not ques-
ton this phase.
They are knockers-the men who
do not believe in war, and whose be-
liefs are apparently so strong that
they outweigh all desire to see their
country, engaged in a necessary war,
emerge successful. Their policies,
theories and ideas are antagonistic
and opposite to the measures and acts
which are imperative to bring the
struggle to a successful issue. Their
Zine" is so great that it fills many of
our citizens heads with rash non
sense and often encourages a de-
creasing patriotism among those who
follow the knocker.
Such n man is Senator Robert M.
La Toilette.
Is it necessary, now, that he has
been defeated in every congressional
vote, that he act with unreasonable
ness, practically refusing to think
deliberately and to vote intelligently,
upon measures in congress which are
bound to determine whether we can
emerge from the war victorious with
our allies?
1t is certainly not to the interest
of the American people to have in
their midst opposing characters-men
who are so decidedly against a war in
which their country is engaged that
they cannot encourage and project
which will bring the war to a quicker
and successful close.

COUNCIL OF DEFENSE NOTES

The State Council of Defense is
sending out letters to the county
councils of defense requesting their
earnest cooperation in effecting a
necessary economy of men, money and
vehicles by reducing the number of
deliveries in retail stores. The State
Council also desires aid in stopping
the return goods privilege" These
two economies, says the State Coun-
ell,-reduction of delivery and refusal
to accept return goods-will Cd re-

pense.

Read This, Then Fix Blame

The law of supply and demand no
longer obtains. With these great re-
serves of food being held for specula-
tive purposes, the cost of food is high
er than during the civil war!
Here are some startling figures
mark them well, and when you mark
them think of Congress, that, knowing
them, refuses you relief:
The frozen poultry now in cold
storage totals 100000 pounds, an
increase of nearly 500 per cent over
the quantity held in the refrigeration
plants year ago.
Is it any wonder that chicken has
become an unattainable luxury in mil
lions of American homes?
There are about 100000 pounds
of cured beef in cold storage, an in
crease of rs per cent over year ago.
There are about 9O,0OO,OOO pounds of
frozen beef now in cold storage, or
about 80 per cent more than last
year.
Isn't it perfectly clear that while
your Congress has been holding up
the food bill with debate about whis-
key and beer, the food spectators
and hoarders have been grabbing all
the food they can get hold of, and
making you pay outrageous prices?
Just one word more:
In America-the greatest wheat
growing country in the world-wheat
costs the consumer more than in
France, England, Germany or Italy
And what is true of wheat is equally
true of many other'food Staples.-Cin-
cinnatti Post.

A young minister, himself minis
ter's son, had come back to his faith
er's house for short stay. There was
a little eight years old brother there
an active, energetic child, who kept the
house in a turmoil with his pranks
and hindered all attempts at CONVEX
sation by his endless questions.
"Why don't. you whip him as you
used to me?" finally yentured the big
brother.
The father only replied quietly, "Be-
cause I've found a better way"

Speak gently to the little child
It's love be sure to gain.
Teach 1t in accents soft and mild
It.may not long remain"


81 wonder if shall ever whip him ~
The young father smiled a little as
he spoke. He was holding his in
FAINT son and gazing into the little
face with reverent awe. He might
have answered his own question in
the negative if he had not remembered
that only three short years ago he
had held his first born son in the
same way. He had grown big and
naughty, now, and he had found it
necessary?-so he told himself, to
whip him often. He marvelled at it
now, and checked a sudden impulse
to push away the little fellow who was
eager to love little Buvver," so the
child was drawn gently closer and
allowed to kiss the back of baby's
head, and to- stroke the little hand.
Loves gentle touch did not awaken
the baby, but it struck the fathers
heart, and then and there was formed
compact between father and son,
never to be broken.
