Will Enforce Dry Laws.

The Wisconsin Prohibition commits
sion created by the Mulberger law,
for the purpose of it's enforcement is
organized and at work. This commits
sion is cooperating with the federal
enforcement officers and with the
city and county officers charged with
the general enforcement of laws.
Complaints received from local Off
GERS and from citizens are promptly
investigated and every assistance pos
sible given the local officers. Copies
of the job are widely distributed.
A survey of conditions is being
made and it is found that in most of
the cities and towns the law is well
enforced and that it has improved
the moral as well as the business con-
dition of the communities. There
seems to have been much Of truth in
the old and oft repeated prophecy
prophecy that prohibition would
empty the iails and eliminate a
large percentage of the poverty.

pioneering of that time and included
separation from him during his SER
vice as Union soldier in the Civil
War. Since his death about twenty
five years ago she had resided with

New Cure Doubtful.

Any positive assertion of new rem
edy or cure for tuberculosis is certain
to awaken hope in many breasts The
recent report from France 0fa cure by
means of antiseptic yapors being forced
into the affected part of the lung, has
awakened new hope. Since we know
that patients are cured of tuberculo-
sis simply by means of general up
building of the body, it seems reason
able tosuppose that with the little ex-
ira help that would come from apply
ing remedies directly to the affected
tissues, a greater percentage of cures
could be effected.
There are two points, however,
which make students of the disease
pessimistic; first, the recollection Of
many previous 'ssure cures" which
didn't live up to the promises made
for them; second, the fact that tuber-
culosis of the skin with ulcers which
permit of the direct application of all
kinds of disinfectants is stubbornly
resistant to treatment. Until such
time, therefore.sas surgeons are able
to cure skin ulcers and joint diseases
by applications and even surgical re-
moval of the apparent center of the
disease, physicians will not be very
optimistic concerning the possibility
of curing lung tuberculosis by means
of more or less direct medication.
In the meantime, dependence will
need to be put upon treatment which
builds up the general health and resis-
tance of the infected individual. In
spite Of many failures, this method
must be credited with more cures
than any other means so far practised
Unfortunately, rebuilding bodily
health and resistance, which have
been broken down by tuberculosis, is
not an easy matter. 1t requires time,
patience, and infinite pains and atten-
tion on the part of physician, nurse,
and patient Health Bulletin.

Communication

To THE EDIToR-I wish TO take a
little space in in your paper in refer
ence to a subject that few years age
this county turned down and to oul
discredit, in my belief, and that ques-
tion is the matter of raising our as
semblyman's compensation.
Does everyone realize how little an
! assemblyman getsp Do you realize
what it costs to live in Madison in or
der to makeNthese laws for us2 Dc
you think the little $500 session
will provide for an assemblyman
while living in Madison and attend
ing the meetings, in order to be on
the job? Why, $500 is absolutely in
adequate! Every living expense has
gone up terrihcally and yet the pay
remains but, $500 session. An or
binary man of9merit can not afford to
represent any district. He must
either go down for the ''honor' alone
and be financially able to take his
time for the commanity,s benefit, q
else go down with the idea he was
going to run into something that will
pay him while there.
Wisconsin's legislators are the low
est paid Of any. Illinois pays its law
makers SO, 800 a session. Massachu-
setts, Minnesota, Colorado, Ohio and
California pay $1,000 while New York
agd Pennsylvania pay $780, In l84s
when the constitution was adopted
the pay in Wisconsin was made S2.5C
a day while on duty at annual SEES
sions. In 1867 pay was increased &c
$3.50 session and in 1881 to $500 and
provision made for biennial sessions
We have been doing business on the
OLE 1881 scale ever since. In 1910 the
proposal to raise the pay to SlD0 was
defeated by the state, and, If am
rot mistaken, Villas county defeated
the proposition. Going still further
Eagle River turned it down fat.
The last two years we have beer
getting our moneys worth. JOSEPH
Defer has been joke so far as at
tendance at the legislature is con
cerned. I believe the vote on the
Mulberger Bill was the only time he
went to Madison and voted other than
at the beginning of the session. What
can you expect for $500 nowadays? You
got just what you paid for. If you like
it then vote against the amendment
April 9Th but if you believe you want
service then raise the pay so men car
afford to go to Madison and actually
attend the sessions and truly represent
you.-FRANK w. CARTER.

Liability Of Fire Builders.

The spring fire season is close at
hand and attention is called to the
care that is yearly becoming more ur-
gent, if the general risk from fires is
to be diminished in the Thirty northern
counties of the state:
This year the conservation commits
sion will make strenuous efforts to re-
duce the general forest fire menace
and is enlisting the support of loggers
railroad men, resort owners, campers,
and all other interested citizens. Most
of the fires, that have been SO destruct-
i've to the forest, fish, game and nat
ural beauty resources of the state,
have been caused by carelessness Or
neglect Every person, under the pro-
visions of Section 4406, Chapter 282,
Laws of 1917, who falls to control or
extinguish fire set by him, issubject
to arrest and to fine of $4,000. More
care must be exercised with fire in
the woods. The conservation COM
mission is instructing it's force of
wardens and patrolmen to prosecute
all eases in which the guilt for the
setting of fires can be determined.
Persons starting fires on cut-over
or forest land, whether on their own
property or not, must be brought to
a realization of their responsibility
in regard to adjacent property own
ers. The law demands that all per-
sons extinguish fires started by them
on lands owned by others, before
leaving, or that fires set on their
own lands be controlled so as not to
burn over adjacent properties. Viola
stions OF this law, or laws Of similar
nature, have led to great destruction
of life and property in this, as we'll
as adjoining states.

CHRIS TAN ENDEAVOR
FUND DRIVE STARTED
Christian Education Is Need
of the Hour Campaign
for Funds to Enlarge
Academy's Work.

ENDEAVOR, WIS.-Announce-
ment was made this week by the
Trustees of Christian Endeavor AGA
DENY, that fund raising campaign
has been worked out and will start at
once. Its purpose is to assure fund
of S240, 600, forty thousand of which
is for immediate use in building and
equipment and the remaining two
hundred thousand as an endowment.
Friends and the alumni of the insti-
tuition throughout the state have al
ready assured the trustees of their
hearty support.
Christian Endeavor Academy has
been educating the youth of Wiscon-
sin for the past thirty years. It's
student course is that of the high
school, but it also specializes in pre-
pairing the student with true Christ
ian ideals. That Endeavor has been
successful in this undertaking is evil
dent from the many commendatory
letters received from prominent ed
ucators throughout the state and
country. Upon graduation, students
are admitted to the State University
without preliminary examination.
In every community, there are
those who believe in Christian educa-
tion, such as is specialized in En-
deavor. 1t is to these people, in adj
dition to the public generally, that
the appeal for funds is to be made.
The immediate projects are a new
girls dormitory, generally enlarged
equipment and an improved and en-
larged faculty. The names of pros
pective givers to the fund are being
received daily and a general cam
paign will be conducted. Announce
ment as to the actual date of the
drive has not yet been made, but it
will likely occur the last of April
Fund raising teams are now being
organized throughout the state.

week through statement made by the
y. S. Navy officer in charge of the
recruiting station at Rhinelander
He stated that while at Winchester
last week for the purpose Of securing
recruits, that he was approached on
the street by the Vice President OF
the Turtle Lake Lbr. Co, VIM. Vog-
elsang, who inquired what his bust
ness was, and upon being told,
abused him in the vilest language
and ordered him to leave town on
the next train, which he did.
We cannot imagine any reputable
navy or army officer making such a
serious charge without sufficient
reasons for doing so. It is also hard
to believe that a man occupying SO
high a position should have SO little
intelligence as to attempt to inter-
fere with a government officer ia the
performance of his duty. Winches-
ter had a most excellent record dur
ing the war, starting from the be-
ginning when many of it's boys vol
unteered before draft was thought
Of. In all of the various drives it's
citizens freely responded from COM
pany officials down to camp laborers
With this record in mind we are in
clined to think that there may be
another side to this story. If there
IS no other side, Mr. Vogelsang is in
bad, and deserves to be, and will UNI
dopbtedly be in worse BY the time
], alrnrernEnenf.i is fllrnllrh With him.

STANCE LUMBER co.
MAY LOCATE HERE
Representative Here Looking
Over Prospects for Stu
alton of Mill for Big
Cut of Timber.

E. w. Ellis of the A. FL. STANCE
Lumber Company; well known as one
of the largest numbering firms in the
state, was an arrival Wednesday to
investigate the possibilities of Eagle
River regarding an important bust
ness move contemplated by them.
The company owns large tract of
hardwood in Michigan just across the
state boundary about six or seven
miles east of State Line, which they
are getting ready to convert into
lumber. One of their mills is located
at Grand Rapids and it has been de-
cided to move it either onto the tract
or at some convenient point along the
c. & N. w, railroad, to save the long
log haul to Grand Rapids.
It had been brought to their atten-
ton that Eagle River was admirably
located for the purpose and in many
ways preferable TO building and main
tanning town in the vicinity of the
timber during the long term of years
that will be required TO log it. Ac-
cordingly, Mr. Ellis was sent here to
ascertain just what advantages Eagle
River offers, and how it's citizens felt
toward cooperating with an industry
which will employ loo men to cut Is,
100000 feet of lumber annually for
the next fifteen years or so.
A short notice call Of business men
was sent out and attended at the
Office of Sanborn & Company Wednes-
day evening. Mr.. Ellis explained his
proposition quite fully and stated
that what his company wanted to
know was whether Eagle River could
furnish them a suitable site of about
forty acres for mill and yard purposes
and also not less than fifteen houses
of good construction for rent to per-
manent employees of the mill and
Office who would require room for
their families. They intend to start
building logging roads and track into
the tract next month and wish to
have the mill in operation by Nov. l,
wherever it may be located. 1t only
required few minutes to secure the
guarantee that this would be forths
coming from Eagle River, and Mr..
Ellis stated that the decision of the
company would be rendered within
two weeks as they are also anxious to
get their plans under way, and also
that as far as he could tell Eagle
River would be the point chosen for
their saw and planning mills.
1t goes without saying that an in
dustry of this size and scope would
mean great deal to every property
owner, and that the plant if located
here will have the hearty co-opera-
tion in every way possible of every
one.

The question now Is: Does agricul-
ture get the benefit Of the subsidy
the benefit of this tax exemption?
'aThe joint stock land banks claim
that agriculture Is benefited. They
claim that the government and that
the people as whole will be more
than compensated by the increased
production and by the lowering Of the
cost Of living.
Agriculture requires a different
kind of financing than that required
for commercial business. We have
large commercial banks the country
over that provide millions of dollars
Of liquid capital for commercial busi-
ness without income tax or any ex.
pense whatever excepting what the
bank may levy. Now farmer wants
to finance his farm for the production
Of cattle, he wants money to build up
q herd Of thoroughbred cattle. He
goes to his banker and says: i need
$4,000 The banker says: All right,
/ will finance you The banker writes
out note for six months.
Long. Time Loans Needed.
Snow can you imagine man, ur
a six months accommodation, go
into an industry or business that c.
not be really developed short Of FIVE
ten years? And yet the farm is e
tory and nothing else. No man wol
undertake to build up great maj
featuring business depending upon
ability to get capital, upon six mont
renewal basis. A manufacturer has {,
have his short-time accommodate i
for liquid capital required. But is
permanent capital, the thing viii h
makes the base of his factory, must be
obtained for long period Of years.
1.-THE farmer wanting that kind Of
capital must go to a commercial bank
and get it, and he must get it on six
months renewal. So he is subject, like
the commercial man who makes his
turnover every 60 or 80 days or at
least every six months, to the same
laws with reference to the money con-
ditions. That is an impossible condi-
ton for the farmer. Many man who
has produced meat, for instance, has
been compelled to sacrifice his herd in
stringent times at an absolute loss,
and many times at so great a loss as
to almost bankrupt him.
Joint Stock Land Banks Help.
"We are carrying the money from
the investor to the producer at q less
charge than any other system ever has
done. We have cheapened the rate
Of interest for farmers from one end
Of the country to the other"

'@Those Of us who are Republicans
know that for many generations we
held out to the farmers that we were
levying tariffs for the purpose OF
building up manufac turtng interests In

OF these lands is making the railroad
