promptly become bad manners. If the

Towns, villages and cities of the
state must keep streets, highways and
alleys open for travel during the win
ter months. This is the law and the
Wisconsin Highway commission is di-
rected to enforce it.
]. T. Donaghey, maintenance engi-
neer, sent to the board of supervisors
of every county, letter calling atten-
ton to this law, and the need for its
observance. This letter says:
"You will note under Section 1916
(c) that if the town, village, city or
county fails to keep any portion of the
State Trunk Highway System open for
traffic during the winter that the com
mission may be appealed to and has
the power to order the county to keep
such portion of the system open for
traffic, if in its opinion public interest
demands the road be kept open. Fifty
per cent of the cost of such work may
be assessed against the unit of govern
ment in which the snow is actually re-
moved.
"If there is any road in the county
of sufficient Importance to require it
being kept open during the winter
months for motor vehicles it should be
selected by your board at the annual
meeting and the necessary appropria-
tons made to purchase the equipment
required and to pay for the work If
action along this line is not taken at
this time the commission will undoubt-
eddy receive numerous petitions for
snow removal on Trunk Highways at
time when it will be too late for the
county to provide the necessary funds
and equipment.
"No petition can legally be present
ed to the commission until either the
town, village, city or county has failed
to keep the system open, and, of
course, no person can assume that they
have failed until snow has accumulated
to such a depth as to Interfere with
traffic"

HOME CIRCLE COLUMN

The old dodgers who kick about the
foolish cost of Christmas never fool
anyone. It's mostly sour grapes on
their part. We all know that it does
us a lot of good to give someone else
just what they want, or maybe thing
that we would like to have ourselves,
whether the act is tinged with the
thought of what we are going to get
In return, or not. OF course, the spirit
of giving may be carried to excess, but
this never happens to the people who
could afford it. Such giving is char
acteristic of the unSelish poor who
must scrimp to make it up. If you
happen to know one of these moss
backs who thinks Christmas giving is
foolish pastime, keep at him this
Christmas until you make him give
where it is needed, All you need to do
is to show him that someone is inter-
ested, and cares lot about whether
he does the right thing or not. Once
he has tried it, he will get so much
pleasure out Of it that he will not need
anyone to start him next year.

NEGLECTED DREAMS

Many people have fine dreams of
moral and spiritual beauty which never
become anything more than dreams,
because they will not work them out in
plain, struggle and self-reStraint. Here
is an incident from private letter,
says The Liguoran;
"One day, lately, one of my little
music pupils, an old-fashioned, sweet,
little girl, about years old, was play
ing scales and octaves, when she turn
ed to me and said; oh, Miss Graham,
my hands are tiredr
81. said Never mind, Norma; Just
try to play them once or twice more.
The longer you practice them the
stronger your hands will grow, so that
after a while, you will not feel it at
ALL
"She turned the gentle little face
weariedly to me and said; Miss
Graham, it seems as if everything that
strengthens hurts
81 gave her something else, but
thought: Yes, my dear little gir.
everything that strengthens hurst"
The child was right. 1t is true in
the making of character; everything
that strengthens hurts, costs pain and
self-denial. We must die to live. We
must cruelty the flesh that we may find
spiritual gains.

DON'T POSE AND STRUT

Boy, il gives me considerable pain
when | discover that you are putting
on airs and endeayoring by the way
you walk and talk to impress people
with your own Importance. For as
see life it Is no particular credit to the
duck that swimS, or to the SOngbird
that sings; wherefore should the young
man who has been endowed with
brains make boast that he use them?
That which is natural to man should
in no way be made to appear unnat-
ural.
Don't strut and pose, as one that is
better than another. For in what is
natural to you, you may excel, but
what is natural to another would make
you appear ridiculous. The actor boast
ing because he acts would be like a fish
making much of the fact that he can
live under water.
Take this tip from me-take pride
in your work, but be not proud that it
is you who accomplishes it. 1t is one
thing to deserve praise, but another to
insist on getting It. And keep this
truth forever in mind, since one man
is given the gift to play the violin, and
another to write and another to paint
and still others are endowed with
strength for heavy tasks, and others to
lay brick for houses, he who does his
best in the work he is fitted to do has
no light TO lord IL over his neighbor
who Is serving the world In his way
TO "r1s that you have brains and use
them is like Dragging that you have
lungs which inhale and exhale and eyes
that see and heart that beats.--De-
troit Free Press.

Daily Tribune staff CT Twenty-Five
Break Bread Together at the
Hctel Witter

VIM. F. Huffman, editor and pub
Usher of The Daily Tribune and
Weekly Tribune, invited the employ
ees of that office to partake of ban
quet at the Witter Hotel on Monday
evening and talk shop and other
things of pleasure and interest to the
craft.
Mr.. and Mrs. D. J, Gerow did their
best for the staff and furnished them
with the best menu that they could
prepare. It was excellent we can
assure you. If there is weakness
in the Editorial Business and Mechan-
ical staff of any newspaper, it is their
love of something good to eat.
This "Get Together" was in honor
of their first anniversary in the pub
fishing and printing game in Grand
Rapids. During this time Mr.. Huff
man purchased the Daily and Weekly
Leader, and then a little later the
purchase of the Grand Rapids Tribune
was made by him and the two plants
consolidated. The consolidation of
both offices and papers was a rood
thing for Mr.. Huffman as we'll as for
the city of Wisconsin Rapids. They
now publish an excellent daily, one we
are all proud Of and great credit to
the community in which it is publish
ed. We sincerely hope the people will
give it the necessary support that will
assure its future efforts to serve this
community efficiently and we'll. We
extend our hearty well wishes to Mr..
Huffman and his able corps of en-
pioyees in the publishing of this ex-
cellent daily and hope they may con-
tlnue to prosper in so doing.
