MAKE YOURSELF
COMFORTABLE

Statistics have proved that by econ
omy and ndustry-exercised contin-
ually, not sporadically-any wage
Garner or salaried man can make him
self financially independent long be-
fore he is old.
But how many of us do?
The reason why we don't is that
"a man only lives once" We have
only one chance to be young, and if
we don't get all of the fun out of life
in our youth, our appetites may be
dulled by the lapse of time before we
are able to indulge them at leisure.
So we don't control our appetites.
We refuse to blend our industry with
consistent economy. We go the pace
in our youth, and feel the lack of af-
fuence in the decline of life.
If we could make the two virtues
industry and economy-inherent, per-
manent and universal in this town, we
as community would then indeed set
a pace-a different pace-a pace of
prosperity and happiness which would
shed the radiance of peace and joy
from the beginning to the end of life.
And such a thing is possible right
in this community-in this town-a-
mong ourselves.

DINNER PARTY

In accordance with an old custom
of Attorney D. D. Conway, his daugh-
ter Helen took her mothers place in
entertaining the lawyers of Grand Ra-
pids and a few outside guests at six
o'clock dinner at their home on Third
Street South, Monday, October 9th,
this being the opening day of Circuit
Court in our city.
For several years Mr.. Conway has
made this nearly an annual practice
but since his wife's death it has been
postponed until his daughter Helen is
now able to take. her mothers place
and look after matters of this kind
with the same ability and service that
her mother used to do.
The banquet consisted of six courses
in which Miss Ruth McCamley as ca
teress assisted Miss Helen, and receiv-
ed many compliments on the part of
those present for the delicious dinner
she prepared for them. The six cours-
es consisted of the latest and choicest
viands of the season.
Nearly all of the Wood County Bar
were present except B. R. Goggins, B.
NJ. Vaughan, T. W. Brazeau and w.
J. Conway, who were out of the city,
and seven guests from Marshfield,
four from Stevens Point, who were in
the city on business, two from Nekoo-
sa and one from Chicago. Twenty
four were seated at the table F. S.
Woodworth of Pittsville who intended
to be present was prevented at the last
moment.
This dinner proved to be just what
Mr.. Conway intended it to be, social
gathering of local attorneys to enjoy
their company together, outside of IL
tigation in court matters.
Those present were as follows:
Judge B. B. Park, Robert Morse,
Court Reporter, Mayor c. E. Briere,
J. J. Jeffrey, District Attorney Frank
W. Calkins, John Roberts, J. F. Cole,
Z. C. Pors, P. A Williams, C. B. Ed

fast was served to a few friends and
relatives at the home of the brides

school, 1918 class and since then has
been employed as stenographer in
the Office of Taylor & Scott. The
groom was born and raised here and

school in 1918. He is highly thought
of and respected and will prove him.

ulations and best wishes.

A tremulous lament has arisen from
victim of monopoly or bolshevism,
or plutocracy, or social seismography
any way, he's the victim of some
thing. And his complaint is that there
are soda fountains which charge 40
cents for ice cream
There are And there are shoe
stores charging $40 for a pair of shoes.
They wouldn't charge such a price for
shoes if they didn't know that there
are plenty Of people willing to pay.
As long as there is demand for ice
cream soda at 40 cents a throw, so
long will we lend accommodating COM
Founders of that soothing alimentive
willing to dispense it at the price
or at dollar, if there are sufficient
enthusiasts willing to trade.
We have no kick Theatres are al
ways crowded.; ice cream parlors are
busy; cigar stores could, in most cases,
handle twice as many lines, and still
find market. 1t will soon be more of
distinction to be pedestrian than
an automobilist; every month a few
more thousands of US climb in behind
windshields and join the speedway
parade
The msistent and almost universal
demand for luxuries is certainly one
of the causes of the cost of living.
Necessities such as wooden bed
steads-would be cheaper if they were
more plentifull-if there were more
people making them. But carpenters
who used to make wooden bedsteads
are needed to make pianos and talking
machines; so the bedsteads become
scarce-and expensive.
Ice cream soda, at 40 cents, would
be a short lived institution if we all
discovered that we don't need it. You
can live for year without it, and
your health will not suffer. Methuse-
lah did without it longer than that,
and he was an active old bird, even in
middle age.
Our habit of extravaganza is not
the prime cause of high prices but
it is proof that we are not disposed TO
do much on our own account to bring
them down.

and here is one more chance for a
high flying savant. This, however,
would not satisfy the strikers. They
want an enforcement of their rule for
bidding any man to work at their
trade without their consent. And in
a free country it should be every mans
privilege to work, if he likes, wherever
an employer can use him. Let any
man who wants join union; but let
those who prefer to stay out do so
without being penalized for their in
dependence.

EITHER Way

Trades unionism is an excellent
thine; it is a weapon against the ty-
ranny of capital.
Capital is necessary thing; with
out it no industry can develop.
But the overdebelopmento of either is
dangerous to democracy-and democ-
racy must survive, and must rule.
When either of them attempts to be
master rather than servant of the
body polite, our freedom and our ma
tional existence is menaced by dis
aster as grave as invasion by for
eign foe.
Radicalism either way will accom-
plish no good results.
