STEPPING AHEAD.

1.-Two OF the best features offered
newspaper publishers in the United
states, have recently been acquired
BY The Forum.
This evening. the Fontaine Fox
cartoons begin running. Fontaine
F'ox has a quiet. wholesome humor
that never offends good taste, that
Is always kindly and lovable. His
characters are above all, human. We
have been watching his work for
several months in other newspapers,
and decided that his cartoons would
be q valuable addition to The For
UNI IL they could be secured. The
exclusive right to publish them in
this territory has been purchased
~ The Forum.
The other feature recently pur-
chased, is the weekly war review by
Frank L. Simonds. Mr.. Simonds,
bsfore the war was an inveterate
globe trotter. During his vacations
from his editorial duties In New
York. he took walking tours in Eu-
rope, and walked through most Of
the countries where the war Is now
being waged. The maps he made
and purchased for these walking
trips, have been used as the back
ground for his discussion Of the war.
He knows first Of all the geography
and topography Of the countries at
war. He has access to all the news
services and special dispatches of
the New York newspapers. and the
result has been that he has taken a
position as the most quoted writer
On the war in America The Review
Of Reviews uses an article by him
monthly, and such papers as The
New York Tribune use his weekly
war discussions. It is the best week
~ war resume published, Just as the
Fox cartoons are the best comic
cartoons offered.
Id the eight months since the
change in management of The For
nm, some expensive improvements
have been made. The biggest addi-
ton was the contract for a direct
leased wire to Chicago to handle the
Fun Associated Press service. The
Size OF the paper was standardized,
making it eight columns instead of
seven. and improving it's appearance.
These two changes gave The Forum
the two great fundamentals Of big
city paper, a standard sized page
and a leased wire service. The spec
ia1 features are the "frills," and The.
nt0rum is adding them as rapidly as
il consistent with good judgment.
The first was a cut service showing
Ifp-to-date news pictures. Then
came the Ding cartoons, followed by
the Simonds war review and the Fox
comics.
Since The Forum must meet the
oompetition OF Twin City and Chi
cago newspapers, the only way to do
& Is to give the same news service
IS they give, and get it to the sub
aEribers in this territory twelve to
twenty-four hours ahead Of them;
stlect the best features that they
ofEer and get them to the subscribers
quicker; give the local and state
news that they cannot give. and last,
but not least. avoid the position of
being an "organ" Of any party or
Propaganda so that every news item
may remain uncolored by editorial
bias.
THAT is just what The Forum is
doing now. but it is not going to be
content with following the pace set
bg the Twin City and Chicago news
papers. good as they are. Fargo is
known as the biggest little city in
america. That puts it up to The
Etorum to become the biggest little
city newspaper in America.

The British Manicure Lady.

I'm English barber shops you do not
have to pay for mirrors, deliberately
tiled floors and manicure girl, writes
Homer Croy in Everybody's. "Over
there a manicurist is considered the
last vocable in the way of smartness.
The manicure girl hasn't the run OF
the shop there as she has here. She
has a little cage down in one corner,
where she is bottled up as if she were
a rare liquid. When man wants to
have any light homework done on his
hands he thrusts one Of them through
the bars, while the proprietor hurries
up with a newspaper for him to read.
In America we would be insulted il
the owner of the shop put something
into our hands to read while the mani
cure girl was working on us. In Eng
land the art of jollying the manicurlst
is unknown"

If PAST record and recon-
mendations have any bearing IN
political campaign then G. n.
Rlsjord, Judge Of the Fifteenth
judicial Circuit, should receive
almost the unanimous support
of the people Of the district at
the election to be held on April
3rd, in which he seeks reelec-
ton.
1t is seldom that a Circuit
Judge has such a record as
Judge Risjord possesses. His
decisions have been fair, his
Judgment has been the best.
This is indicated by the fact that
he has been reversed but very
few times by the Supreme court
of the State of Wisconsin.
But another thing to be taken
The Washburn times. [volume] (Washburn, Wis.) 1896-1976, 1917-03-15

into consideration is the saving
which his manner of cOnd ucting
court has been to the taXpay ers
Of his district. In Bay field
county alone the cost Of holdin 6
court during Judge Risjord's
term was over $4,000 less than
the last five years of his prede-
cessor's term. This was quite
record in itself.
There is not a word that any
one can say against Judge Ris
iOrd or his manner of conduct
ing court. His record is one to
be proud of and he is entitled to
another term.
Judge Rsjord has opposition
this year in the person of Ray
J. HAggerty Of Park Falls who
seeks political fame. But there

Room For Thrift.

The American Society For Thrift is
sounding a warning that should not go
unheeded. The statistics it has gath
cred indicate how reckless we are with
our money and how little we lay up for
rainy day. We are pre-eminently a
nation of spenders who believe in liv-
ing while we live.
Statistics show that ninety-five Of
every hundred Americans who reach
the age Of sixty are dependent upon
their daily earnings or on others for
support. The total, of course, includes
wives, mothers and daughters who had
not tried nor expected to accumulate
competency. But after they are elm
mated the percentage Of workers who
have a nest egg at sixty is very small,
even if that is generally considered too
young for retirement.

We, the People.

Estimating the worlds population as
1,6OO,OOO,0OO, the whole human race at
present living could stand comfortably
shoulder to shoulder in an area of 500
square miles.
Taking the number Of generations in
the past G,O0O years rs 200, the room
taken up by them all on the above
plan would be less than the area of
the state of Colorado. To bury all the
people on earth would need a grave
yard little larger than that area.
The Washburn times. [volume] (Washburn, Wis.) 1896-1976, 1917-03-15

seems to be no argument why
Judge Risjord should be retired
unless it is to give Haggerty
the job, a thing which Northern
Wisconsin voters have been
reluctent to do especially when
the man holding the office has
served them as faithfully as
Judge Ri ord has.

What Is a Hawaiian?

A correspondent inquiries whether it
is proper to speak of a Hawaiian as a
"Kanaka." The term is masculine. A
"Kanaka" is a male Hawaiian. A
'wahine" is an unmarried Hawaiian
woman. A "wahinemare' is a mar
ried Hawaiian woman. These defini-
tions are from the Hawaiian diction-

MILK TRAIN SCHEDULE

Schuylkill Valley Shippers Take
Complaint to Public Serv-
