WISCONSIN is 10 YEARS.

The SEVENTEEN anniversary of the
admission of Wisconsin into the Un-
ion was passed on May 20, 1918. Dur
ing the three score years and ten that
have passed since Governor Nelson
Dewey took the oath Of office as the
first executive of the state, marvellous
developments have taken place. From
a population of less than a quarter of
million people who lived chiefly in
the southern and eastern sections of
the state, the number has grown to
two and a half million. Every sec
tion of the state is now inhabited.
In 1848 there was not mile of rail-
road track in the state. Today there
are over 1000 miles in operation. The
annual value of farm crops is more
than $260,000,000 The dairy indus
try, which is the one leading business
in Wisconsin, was scarcely heard of
in 1848. Today our state furnishes
the nation with one-sixth of all its
creamery butter and with more than
half of all its cheese. Over 100000
children are enrolled each year in the
public and private schools of the
state, and upwards of $22,000,OO0 is
expended annually for the education
Of her citizens. A happy, prosperous
and contented people should pay tri-
butte to the pioneers who have paved
the way for our states development.

Gus second war Memorial Day was
big event in Manitowoc. What was
probably a record breaking parade
marched to Evergreen Cemetery in
the afternoon and held the general
exercises there. The parade was ov-
er mile long. The school children
made up seven blocks. Nearly every
fraternai order in the city was in line
in a body and Union labor organiza-
tions had over 1900 men in line. The
Home Guard company in new uni
forms, the High School cadets and
boy scouts lent military tone to the
affair. At the cemetery Mayor
Schroeder presided. Rev. Espeseth
offered prayer, Sam Randolph, Jr.,
delivered the Gettysburg address with
spirit and Col. Watrous of Milwaukee
delivered the Grafton. He spoke
about a half hour. The outstanding
feature of the inspiring eloquent talk
was his admiration for the "New
South" and his generous appreciation
Of the war service Of the present ma
tional administration. Coming from
a Republican veteran of the civil war
il was we'll received and the mention
of the president brought cheers and
prolonged applause The usual vol

graves. The day was perfect and

Though touched by the wand of prog
ress,
And taking on city ways
There is much left yet, that marks
the place
As the house of my childhood days;
There's the rivers bend in the distance
And the bridge by Torrison's store,
And the little church with its belfry
gray,
And the light house down by the
shore
And looking back through the mist
of years, the thoughts of youth
are long, long thoughts.
But the bay looks the same in the sun
light,
And the waves tapping upon the
shore, psAa1
Make the same sweet soothing music,
That they made in the days Of yore;
When we threw the stones in the
water, 4HxS
To make the circles SC bright,
But the old haunts now, are lonely,
And looking back tonight, the
thoughts Of youth are long, long
thoughts.
But the winding paths that our feet
knew well,
Are changed in many ways;
And the whip-poor-will singing his
lonely song
As he flies Ger the northern hill,
Always brings feeling of sadness
For the sleepers so silent and still;
For my childhood's merry playmate,
Declared in his boyish way
That, not whip-poor- will, but whip
her well
Was all that the bird could say.
And up and down, the dear old town
My thoughts rove wild and free,
For what "Deering" was to Longfel-
low, "Manitowoc" iB to me.

Windshield for Ranue.

The draft from an open door or win
dow Is often disastrous to the flame OF
an open gas burner. A windshield
may be quickly made by slipping two
clothespins, heads down, into the graf

them piece Of heavy cardboard or
even folded newspaper. BY saving
the openings deeper the shield will be
brought closer to the base, making
II still more effective.
