plains that luck is against him, and
that he never has any chances to
make good, or to get ahead. Why?
Because those with whom he deals
see only too clearly that they have
to do with a person without initia-
tive, who is accustomed to be a
crouch, who appears to be soft and
easy going, with no pep nor enthusi-
asm. How can they trust him with
responsibilities, contracts or other
business opportunities
WHAT TO Do
What shall we do TO increase our
physical efficiency? Investigate, and
find out. Each man is law unto
himself. Read physical culture and
health magazines. Ask your doctor.
What does the efficient farmer do in
feeding his stock? He investigates
constantly what is the best feed for
that particular breed. And he gets
results. So when a fat person keeps
on eating ice cream, candy, bacon
and pastry, he is feeding himself
to death. When the thin person does
not get lots of rest, light exercises,
nor the proper food, he runs himself
out. The business man takes his
work home with him nights, and the
worker takes his home or financial
troubles with him to work. Neither
can do justice to himself nor to
those who depend upon him. Moth

Obstacles and worries melt like

age We forget that some of us
we're brought up like hotbouse

every opportunity to grow financial

Others get to respect your industry
and power. Everything seeSs to
come your way. Get there, and
keep it up. Quit worrying, investi-
gate, exercise, take walks, loosen
up, relax, and keep on studying
what is the best for you personal

OLLSMOBILE-v STUFF

Mr.. E. E. K. passed Mr.. O. A. T.
about ten miles out of Duluth on
their way to Washburn, and then the
fun began. The Stutz raced the Odds
until dinner and passed it. However,
while 0. A. slowed down second to
light a fresh cigar, the Olds shot by
like lightning. 1t wasn't until they
arrived at Lake Nebagamon when E..
E. K. stopped and waited for o. A. L..
to show him the road to Burberry
that the Stutz got ahead again; on
high, flying over hills and valleys like
a regular plane. The Odds following
the roads like swallow in the spring,
cutting through the hills like a knife
through butter, it's engine purring
like happy kitten, setting the pace
A pedestrian saw two spots down the
road, but by the time he got his hand
up to his forehead to shade the sun,
he saw only the last specS of dust
trailing after them. Blueberries
were laying sky high on the road,
drawn in by the terrific suction, and
the roofs blew off several farm
houses. Finally they arrived two days
later, only hats and shoes LEFT, in
Washburn. Duly fined 81 ,OO0, 200, OOO-
10 for exceeding the speed limit
on horsepower wagons. The 10 cents
being tax on amusements.
XII DANCE.
For the benefit of the baseball
team, our second summer dance took
place at the Garden Hall. We enjoy
ed special good music by our local
band leader and Miss Peterson. There
was rice big crowd, all dressed up,
and account of the warm weather,
part Of the gentlemen in shirt sleeves.
Everybody had good time, particul-
arly after Anil got some wax for the
floor. Some more young people learn
ed to dance, an were only toe anx-
ious to have another dance soon.
THE 100000 FEET-CUT- SMOKE.
On the first day of August we
were gladly surprised by having CT
gars passed around among the men
and candy among the girls as a
friendly appreciation by the company
Of our star cut, 100000 feet for the
month of July. 1t was more than
ever was expected of our factory,
and the first time in the history of
the XII Co., we say:
Go to it boys. We can do it again
What with a good fat bonus enve-
lope, and nearly every man stock
holder it's no wonderD

the office and salaried men of the coun-
try, for although their dollar is only
worth about half what it was a few
years ago, yet their wages have not
raised, and they cannot strike but must
either be content to go on at the same
rate of pay or give up their positions.
Likewise are the people with a GER
tain amount to spend each year hard
hit for their money will buy less than
half what it would a few years back.
The shrunken dollar value has been
almost a calamity to multitude of
people whose salaries do not respond
readily to the higher wage levels and
they are hit by the same advancing
high prices as the wage Garner whose
wages have raised from time to time.
The men holding public office are no
longer to be envied for they are caught
between the advancing high prices
and the low salary scale.
When the pay of the wage Garner
has been advancing to meet the high
cost of living their salary has remain
ed practically the same and many have
been compelled to resign their posi-
tions as public servants and seek other
positions that are more lucrative. They
cannot strike as do the wage earners
and there is but two things for them
to do, either cut down their living that
they may exist or give up their posi-
lions for one that will provide more
pay.

A QUESTION OF AREAS.


In 1916 both Michigan and New York
grew the same area of potatoes
proximately 100000 acres. On this
area tie state of Michigan produced, in
round numbers, 100000 bushels OF
potatoes. New York, for her share,
however, produced 22,400,00O bushels
an increase of nearly so per cent.
With such difference as this it is
apparent that in the work of food pro-
duction, the question of soil manage.
ment and of crop management is of ut.
most importance-for whenever it be.
comes profitable to do so, there is nc
doubt that Michigan can increase her
potato yield up to or beyond that now
obtained by New York state.

Net least novel of substitutes Is the
use of iron in place of wool for fl
teringa air for compressors and for
cooling electrical apparatus. The new
filter is provided with long and crook
ed passages, in which dust particles
are held up by the sharp turns and
simple friction along the straighter
portions of the route. The air is
quite free from moisture. Little press
ure is necessary, and the cleaning
seems to be quite effective.

ON THE 2ND day of September,
being Tuesday, a special referendum
election will be held throughout the
state of Wisconsin at which the vo-
tiers will have an opportunity of ex-
pressing their wish as to whether or
not the state should pay to the soldiers
and sailors OF Wisconsin the sum Of
ten dollars per month for the time
which they were in the service Of their
country during the world war.
Practically every young man in the
service during the recent war lift lu-
crative positions that they might be
able to serve their country, and mary
of them died on the field of battle on
foreign soil that the world might be
made safe for democracy.
These young men were paid wages
averaging about $4,000 per month
while they were in this country and a
trifle more while serving on foreign
soil, but even this was very small pay
for the hardships which the boys went
through and the purpose of the soldier
bonus law is simply to repay them in
measure for what they have sacri-
feed.
There is going to be some opposition
to this law from the tightwads of the
state who do not ike to give up an ex-
tra nickle in the Way of taxation unless
compelled to but we expect Bayfield,
county to again show her colors by
passing the measure almost unani-
mously.
Could there be anything fairer than
to give these boys extra pay AZ the
rate of ten dollars for each month
served? Isn't it about as little as the
state can do to show her appreciation

The Door.

Few persons realize what a modern
convenience is the familiar door. No
primitive peoples have, or ever did
have, doors; the great temples OF
Egypt and of Greece had doorways.
Of course. but no doors. Often there
were silks and tapestries hung over
the doorways or doors or gates; but
the door proper is absolutely an i'm
provement, even luxury. of modern
civilization.

Human Efficiency

Now that nearly every employee
has become stakeholder in our
company it does not surprise us that
every now and then d man stops US
and asks some questions or other
which evidently shows that re too
is on the lookout fo1 some place
where the efficiency Of the plant can
be increased. And such suggestions
are fine for they make beth OF US
think. However, most of them are
limited to the wood, the machines,
the supply, the working conditions,
etc., and very few concern the per-
sonal efficiency of the man. AND
THIS is THE PLACE WHERE
THERE is ROOM FOR LIMlTLESS
IMPROVEMENTS. Most men are
only too anxious to be promoted or
get an increase without rendering
better service for it. Now the time
has come when a company which
takes care of you, gives you work,
and pays you, is asking in return:
Are you giving us full value for the
money we invest in you? For the
efficiency of the plant depends upon
the efficiency of each worker. Now
the main factor we have to deal with
is your Health" For it is very
clear that what you can do and how
you can do depends primarily upon
how you feel.

rs YOUR PHYSICAL MACHINE
RUNNING SMOOTH?

Since your health means that
your body as whole is in good
working condition, it is important
to take as good care of it as Of your
car, your machine, your house or
your business, if you have one. In
other words, is your physical condi-
tion help to you or drawback!
Are you slave of your body and
your senses, or are you mastering
them in order that they may help
you make life worth living? You
have noticed how some farmers
leave their implements out all year
in the open field, and only oils them
up when the wheels won't turn. And
they wonder why they make no
profits, when their own carelessness
burdens them with heavy repair
bills. The same happens when we do
not go properly clothed and catch
a cold, or when we come grouchy to
work in the morning and it takes
us several hours before we get the
sourness unloaded on somebody
else. Or we let our physical machine
run dry by not drinking enough wa
ter. No wonder it gets rusty and
constipated. We who used to run
around and play as kids and work
up glorious appetite, now stand
still in one place, or sit in chair
all day, taking no exercise nor US
ing our muscles Systematically The
engine clogs up. We do not shake
the ashes out and the fire cannot
burn bright. This suits the doctors
and druggists fine. They make a
nice living off peoples ignorance and
laziness, called Indigestion, rheuma-
tism, etc. i,S
Now when we buy gas for the
auto we are very careful to get the
right kind, and to feed the right
amount. Yet that carr is only for
pleasure, whereas our brain and
Drawn earn living for us. But we
will fill our physical machine full
with heavy indigestible pastry, eat
unripe fruit, swallow half cooked
potatoes, and pour icewater in our
stomach. We will take interest in
the proper speed of our saws and
machines, but ourselves do not get
the proper rest and relaxation.
Hurry, hustle and pretend to be ire
mendously busy, using up an I'M
necessary amount of energy. Then
pity ourselves for our nerves." and
our prematurely grey hair. We will
take out life insurance and prepare
to die. How about investing our
money in health assurance, take ex-
ercises, play, walk, AND PREPARE
TO LIVE.
BUILDING ON SAND OR ROCK?
Yes, it is easy to say: ! have no
time, have no money, / have no
opportunity. YOUR future depends
on it! 1t isn't what we have that
counts but what we make of our
selves. Theodore Roosevelt was a
thin aenemic weakline when young.
But he saw the necessity for a.
strong, healthy body. And he built
himself one. Henry Ford used to be
just small built, and ordinary me-
chanic. Yet he he's succeeded. What
others have done, you can do. Physi-
cal efficiency, the foundation of our
lives, is within every mans reach.
Build on a rock and your house will
not sag.
