TIE KAISEK TO BECOME A
DAIRYMAN IN RUSK
COUNTY

BY means of their uneXcelled spy
system, the Kaiser and his staff have
discovered the wonderful oppOrtuni-
ties awaiting the dairyman and the
stock raiser in North Central Wis
cOnsin, The summary of the spies
Investigations shows that the fertility
of the gently rolling hardwood ridges,
with their clay loan soil, fertilized for
centuries by falling leaves of the for
est, in Rusk and western Price c0un-
ties, makes a place without compare,
for the sheep raiser and the dairyman.
Fearing that they cannot rule the
world the Kaiser and his staff have
chosen wisely in selecting this vicin-
ity to settle and become sheep raisers
and dairymen when they are finally
forced to admit defeat.
So you true Americans better get
your land in this clover belt, the best
unOccupied land in the world, before
the Kaiser and his staff gobble it all.

The membership fee you have to

In the larger cities society people
gladly give from $100 to $1,000 to
belong to their swell clubs. There
maybe little social life. the atmosp
here may be frosty, the associations
distant and unfriendly. But they
have the elory-of inviting friends to
the exclusive club house and show
ing it off as their property. A
rather barren satisfaction to simple
minded and genuine people.
On the other hand there is one
organization to which you can be-
long for $1,O0 a year. That is the
American Red Cross. 81 A thrill of
happiness will be felt by you every
time you see its blessed symbol.
It's white ground stands for it's pure
zeal Of service. The red of the
cross stands for the suffering
humanity that it relieves and helps

Reflected Glory

The man who stayed at home
finds his heart swelling with pride
as he thinks what our people have
done in the war. AS we read of
those deathless exploits of our boys
10 the ArgonDe how grand it does
seem to be an American. Many of
US think so much along this line
that we almost feel that we have
done these things ourselves
AS matter of fact most of US
have not done much. Those of us
who did not 60. or send our own
boys. simply stayed at home and
underwent minor discomforts. We
made rather trifling sacrifices. but
we haven't done anything very big.
nor anything indicating great hero
ism.
There is a great tendency to take
on reflected glory and assume credit
for it. and substitute it for doing
things ourselves. You see that in
people interested i1 sports. They
will get out and yell for ball team.
and get just as much satisfaction
roofing for the nine as if they had
played the game and won the VIC
tory themselves. 1t is of course
fine thing to give this loyal support
to any home interest, But at the
same time it is not the same thing
as doing something yourself to be
proud of.
Let US try from this time forth
not to depend for our feelings Of
pride merely on things that our
neiehbors and our representatives
have done, but to try TO do things
ourselves worthy of the American
name
| We are not called upon to cut
lines of barbed wire in the deadly
| iArgonne. But we are asked TO take
up year by year the sometimes
onerous tasks of our civic life and
to do things for the public welfare.
Let us then be more worlhv of the
grand boys we have sent out to win
the war, and try to do a little some
thing in the home life of Monroe
City that will make some little re-
turn for what has been given us.
