TRUE HUMILITY

Humility is one Of the hardest vir-
tues to acquire. In trying to overcome
pride and arrogancy we often become
subservient and self derogatory. But
true humility does not mean that we
should belittle ourselves. We are all
men, and if we under rate ourselves
we under rate the power that created
us. We are born with the power to
surmount all obstacles, to conquer the
forces of this world, and we should
face that fact fairly. Needless self
assertion should be avoided, but often
a pronounced attitude of humbleness
is merely assumed and is another form
of pride. Humility is not gained by
belittling ourselves, but by forgetting
self and thinking of others.

From the above figures, the readers
can draw their own conclusion. No
dirt road could possibly stand that a.
mount of traffic without requiring a
great deal of expense in it's upkeep,
These facts go to prove the excellent
judgment shown by the voters of Wood
County in favoring the recent bond is
sue.
Nothing but the best concrete roads
an possibly stand that amount of traf-
fic, which will gradually be increased
as time passes, and the population and
commercial traffic of Wood County in
creases in the proportion it has been
going on for several years past.
Nothing has occurred in the history
of Wood County which will prove of
such great value to the commercial in
terests of.Wood County as the provid-
ing of bond issue in the sum of one
million five hundred thousand for the
purpose of improving her Trunk lines,
in the history of the County.
Field surveys for the proposed con-
crete roads will commence within the
next ten days, by County Engineer, A.
Westenberg.

SOLDIERS
ATTENTION!

To the Editors, Wisconsin Newspapers:
Gentlemen:-TheS Service Recogni-
tion Board directs me to invite your
special attention to the provisions of
Chapter 667 Laws of 1919, providing
a bonus to be paid to Wisconsin SOL
diers. for service during the war a.
gainst Germany and to request that
you give publicity to the fact that the
Service Recognition Board desires that
each soldier or nurse make application
for blanks on which to make his claim
at once.
The law also provides that the bonus
be paid to the heirs of deceased SOL
diers, the surviving widow, child or
children, mother or dependent father,
in the order named; the Board requests
that the heirs communicate with the
Service Recognition Board, Capitol,
Madison, to arrange for perfecting
their claims.
This procedure of requiring appli-
cation for these forms to be made by
the claimants is necessary as nearly
all of the records in regard to this
military service were required to be
shipped to Washington and are not
now available for use in the state.
Will thank you very much for your
cooperation in this matter so import
ant to all the men.
Yours truly,
The Service Recognition Board.
By Jno. G. Salsman, Secretary.

We always have something to be
thankful for, if it is nothing more than
the fact we have not so many faults
as the people around US. The human
race may seem egotistical, but we
would surely get mighty discouraged
if we could see all our own faults.

WEEKLY REVIEW

NEW YORK. July 26,-The move ment on stock exchanges this week lost some of it's recent momentum and price changes were frequently ir. regular under pressure, although steady to firm in the popular leaders.
 Redution of operation was attribut- ed to the customary midsummer ap- athy.
 Among international banking inter- ests a more hopeful feeling was creat- ed by the passing of te crisis in for eign exchange, although rates on Lon don and the principal continental European centers are sufficiently un- favorable to enmase this country's overseas trade. In the many develop ments of the week little attention was paid to advics from Washington, which accompanied the new high record of exports for the last fiscal year.
 According to official compilation. ex- ports exceeded any previous year by more than seven billion dollars.
 One of the most significant eviden- ces since the signing of the amistice was contained in announcemene by the Standard Oil Company, or N. J. of the doubling of it's capital, primarily for enlargement of it's export business.

Oats finished a shade to 3sc up, previously varying from 2c decline to rise of 4Oc. De cember, the chief crop delivery, show ed more plainly than other months the misgivings. Buying of December was said to be in the main for the south west, where serious damage from weather would first be likely to ap- pear.

 Anticipation of demand from Ger many for rye and barley tended to strengthen oats.

one thing that is now most needed 10
complete the improvements at the
station. It's building would make one
OF the most beautiful drives in the
county and make the station the show
place of the county. Visitors could be
taken out one pike and brought back
the other and see the greater part OF
the station without leaving their con
veyances
Except for the finihing touches
the building program at the station
is completed. All of the buildings
will be finished and ready for occu.
pancy next spring. 1t is hoped to
have the road so far completed as to
permit the public to go over it by the
time the Middle Tennessee farmers

One of the next developments of the
station will be the dairy herd of Ier-
seys. II is planned to make this not
only model herd. but to have model
dairy equipment and plant complete

ample to the peole of all this section.

LAMENTED az BAR AND CIT
lZENS HERE.
WAS UNIVERSALLY RESPECTED
Devoted to Duty and Protested Until
Last Against the Rest That Column
bia Bar of Lawyers Insisted He
Ought to Take.

Lawyers, citizens and officials join
ed in paying tribute to Judge Walter
S. Bearden, the eminent jurist wnl
died on Monday morning at his home
at Shelbyville after a long illness. II
had only been a few weeks since
Judge Bearden was in Columbia and
opened the November term of court
In his long career on the bench he had
never failed to attend session of the
court. His devotion to duty brought
him here but it was soon plain to law
yers and officials that he was not equal
to the strain of a term. Over his pro-
test the members of. the bar prevailed
on Judge eBarden to go home and take
a rest. His last court was therefore
held in Columbia.
No man ever sat upon the bench
who was more universally respected
and honored than Judge Bearden. He
enjoyed to the end of his days the con-
fidence of all who came in contact
with him He was, a student and a
tireless worker. He gave to the small
er cases the same painstaking atten-
ton that he bestowed upon the suits
that involved enormous sums. He
was exceedingly jealous of the honor
and dignity of his court and was pune
tilious in all things.
Four times Judge Bearden was
elected chancellor: three times with.
out suggestion of opposition and
hardly with a formal announcement.
1t is a record probably without prece-
dent in the annals of the state.
In 1885 Judge Bearden was a candi-
date for the old chancery division that
extended from Murfreesboro and Shell
byville east to include the counties of
Franklin, Warren, Coffee and Grlindy.
He had an opponent, but he carried ev-
cry county in the district with one ex-
ception.
At the expiration of his eight year
term in 1894 he was elected without
opposition. In 1899. under the direc-
ton of Senator Padgett. now Repre-.

Also Having Decided Revival as
People Use 1t Instead OF the High

That dairy products have about
reached the peak of prices is the
judgment of many who watched the
trend of the markets and are famil-
lar with conditions here and over the
country. The opinion is also express
ed that the same thing is true Of the
prices of grade Jersey and other
grade milk cows.
At the present unprecedentedly high
prices at which butterfat is selling ac-
tive competition is developing from
substitutes. Oleomargarine and CO.
coanut products are selling at from
sixty to seyenty-five per cent of the
prices which are being paid for but
ter. They are finding a ready sale
all over the country and are being ex-
tensively advertised.
That there should be a considera

the fact tffat the housewife is not will.
ling to pay present prices for the
real article. Less and less cooking is
being done with butter, the substitutes
are preferred because of the cheaper
cost and many housewives declare
that while they might pay just little
more for the butter they are finding
the substitutes so satisfactory that
they are unwilling to pay present diff
ferences in prices
For many years oleomoragrine was
practically off the market because of
the federal tax. but the price of but
ter is so high now that this product is
Icing sold despite the tax, in active
competition with the genuine article.
To the INITIATED it would he surpis-
ing to find how extensive the trade
here is in the butter substitutes. If
conditions like this exist in Maurv
county whore the finest dairy pro-
ducts have always been abundant they
are sure to exist. it is argued, to an
oven greater degree in less favored
sections OF the country.
