PASSING THE APPLES

When every pool in Eden was mirror
That unto Eve her dainty charms
proclaimed,
She went undraped without a single
fear,
Or thought that she need be ashamed
Twas only when she'd eaten of the APP
pie
That she became inclined to be a
prude
And found that evermore she had to
grapple
With the much debated problem of
the nude
Thereafter she devoted her attention,
Her time and all her money to her
clothes;
And that was the beginning of con-
vention,
And Of modesty as well, | suppose.
Reaction has set in in fashion recent,
- Now girls conceal so little from the
men,
1t would seem in the name of all that's
decent
Some one ought to pass the apples
round again.
Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1920-05-13

juring the innocent object of these re-
marks. They are born in thoughtless-
ness and uttered in a spirit of idleness
but they carry a sting that lasts.
II men would confne their remarks
to such as they would approve if made
regarding their own sisters, or such
a. they would make in the presence OF
the father or brother of the girl, there
would be less vicious rumors and in
nuendoes circulating from lip to lip,
and fewer heartaches when this idle
gossip reaches the parties concerned
The Lord made tongues that they
might be used to good purpose, but the
devil often twists them to his own evil
ways.
And it makes world of difference
when it is the other fellows sister,

SEEKING
ANOTHER
Plunge

Is civilization in reality on the de-
cline?
Is humanity gradually sinking to
the level of the savage?
The rivers of blood have hardly
dried upon the battlefelds of France,
and yet the nations of the earth are
steadily preparing for the next war.
Powerful air fleets are being con-
structed, engines of destruction ca
pable of dropping tons of high explo-
sives upon armies and civilians alike.
The U-Boat is being perfected to
Guido It's previous exploits in sending
ship loads of helpless people to the
bottom of the sea without warning
and with no avenue of escape.
Almost everywhere we turn we find
the brightest minds and the keenest
lntellects concentrated upon the con-
struction of machines for the destruc-
ton of human life
Such condition Immediately fol-
lowing the great war is unthinkable,
it is appalling, and yet it is true.
The world entertained hopes that
the war just closed would be the last
But that hope is becoming blasted
day by day.
One has only to read the foreign
news dispatches to see the handwrit-
ing on the wall-letters written in the
blood of humanity and inscribed by the
hands of hatred, avarice and greed.
Civilization should be civilized.
1t is slipping cog.

timber gong up in flames. There is
no railroad yet built up into this
immense forest OF pine and spruce
aud fir and the cost OF hauling the
great logs out any other wav would
be prohibitive, so to get the road
through they have to burn them, but
what a waste it did seem.
We skinned around the sides of

places and houses In a clearing few
miles below the rim are built with
such sharp roofs which we are in

falls to about II foot depth and it's
weight has been known to crush in
roofs not built correctly. The hotel
roof at the lake rim is built much the
same way and oraced with great up
right beams Of wood. From the rim
hotel or lodge we can see the lake
which we have come so many weary
miles to behold. There is residue
of peak to one side of the rim which
has snow crest and snow streaks
are perceivable on pockets in the
cliffs on the sides OF the lake which
lies 1000 feet below the rim. The
rim elevation is about 1000 feet
above the sea level.
We are SO high above the surface
of the lake that we can hardly be-
heve it that those objects we see be-
low are people padding about In
boats. It's like looking off of d great
tall sky scraper building. Only a
greater distance by far. And what
lovely, lovely sight is that lake.
The walls encircie it all round and
its two or three miles wide and has
a depth of 2,000 feet. There are two
or three islands in it. And the col
or is wonderful shade of blue. We

feet following the meanderings and
different levels which the pathway

along, each car sending up clouds of
it to the great discomfort of the next
one and there are about eighty cars
in the party so you can see what we
were up against. Our hats and
clothes we're soon covered with the
dust and we held our handkerchiefs
over our nostrils to ward off some of
1T in breathing. The ruts are so
deep and rough that our car have to
travel slow and we soon learn it's
best not to fret but endure and hope
for tie end. We come to watering
place and alight and shake our
clothes and presto the dust all but
disappears and leaves scarcely no
residue to cling to our garments and
make them soied with the possible
exception of collars which our per-

dust was on. And hot. 1t was like
