OUR INTENTIONS
WERE GOOD

We had in mind the writing of a
rhetorical effusion this week on the
virtues of our particular choice for
this presidency.
But we didn't
We were too engrossed in the de-
lightful task of earning three meals a
day to consume time on subject more
foreign to the demands of our stomach.
You were too busy accumulating
huge stores Of the coin Of the realm
to waste time in reading Of something
upon which your mind is already set
But We sovereign citizens should not
forget that there is to be an election
And there will be one, for at least the
candidates will take time to vote.
You may vote, too, if you think of
it, and have consumed good dinner.
We shall, because it Isl necessary to
go to the polls to see if there are any
dog fights or other explosions, and if
the judges and clerks keep awake
Lest you forget, we will gently re-
mind you that the election will occur
on the-say, when is that darned mill
to be pulled off, anyway

PORT EDWARDS
Community
AUDITORIUM

A large number of our citizens at
tended the opening All Star Show at
the Port Edwards Auditorium We'd
nesday night. 1t was the event of the
season for Port Edwards people. They
have every reason to be proud of this
new play house.
1t is another step forward towards
future progress. 1t is another indica-
tion of the progress of the times. Port
Edwards leads-it never follows. The
best is none too good for Port Edwards
and her people. The Nekoosa- Edwards
Paper Co. and her citizens want to
stand out in the open and be counted
for doing things. They are progress
sive and have high ideals Those who
lead in her civic affairs want to do
something that will count for the good
of the people in that community and
those who are passing through. The
stranger and transient marvel at what
they find in this community. They
find everything up to date. The best
of schools, churches, homes and public
buildings. Everything that stands for
the betterment of mankind This COM
munity auditorium is only one of the
many things to commend this village
as an ideal place in which to live.
Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1920-08-19
HOME
THE HONEY

In most communities there are two
classes of citizens those who pro-
duce, and those who do not.
The productive class brings home
the honey.
The other class merely consumes
that which the producer produces.
There would be less hue and cry over
the cost of living if more people would
conscientiously produce instead of be-
ing content merely to consume.
Food and other commodities are
hard to produce at best, and the idle
ness and indifference of the non-pro-
ductive class only accentuates it's scar
city and contributes to it's cost.
A hive of honey bees is good thing.
for mankind to study The bee that
does not work is not allowed to eat
it is not permitted to consume the
fruits of the labors of other bees.
We humans, with all of our superior
intelligence, can still profit from the
example set us by the little honey bee.
Future generations may learn to
see, where we of today are groping in
darkness.
The honey bee may teach them.

LET'S Be FAIR

During the pc st few months we
! have several times heard our home
merchants criticised for the prices
they charge for their goods.
The home merchant does charge a
higher price-a much higher one
than he did before the war. He is
compelled to do so or go out of busi-
ness.
He is paying enormously high pric-
es for his goods in the wholesale mar
kets.
He is<paying increased freight rates
and carriage.
His help costs him more money and
his overhead expenses are greater.
Everywhere he turns he is forced to
pay a heavy increase in the cost of
conducting his business.
Added to this, he is under an ad-
ditional pressure in paying the high
cost of supporting his family and him
self.
All Oh CHlS lluSG come OUT Oh Cle pu-
siness, and this can only be done by
charging a reasonable percentage of
profit over the wholesale cost of his
goods.
The home merchant can not afford
to profteer. Were he to do so he
would soon be trapped and would
thereafter be dead one in this COM
munity.
Prices. are high-abnormally high
