THE GOOD
AND THE BAD

If we remember the good things of
life existence will be the sweeter for
us and for those around US.
We are too prone to forget the good
and dwell upon the seamy side of hui
mainly. 1t diverts our thoughts from
the uplift and plunges us into a gloom
that is enhanced by our discomfort.
In our own restricted community
there Is much that is good-there are
people whose acts serve as an inspira-
ton to all who would see the brighter
side of life.
They are unobtrusive, but their in
fiuence is beneficial to all with whom
they come in contact.
They see the sordid side of our ex-
lstence, but they do not dwell upon it.
They see the brightness of the flu
ture, and they make it part of their
daily lives.
They radiate happiness and content
ment wherever they go.
And because they see the better side

WOOD COUNTY INFORMATION

Madison, Wis.-Some highly inter-
esting statistics concerning Wood
County have just been compiled for
the State Department of Agriculture
by A. j. Becker, joint crop statistician
for the State and Federal Depart
ments. These statistics cover farm
labor supply, daily milk production
per COW, price received for milk, and
total value of milk product. From
these it appears that the present sup
ply of farm labor in the county of
Wood is 65 per cent of normal; that
the present demand for farm labor is
140 per cent of normal. The cows Of
the county in 1919 were MIXED an av-
erage of 292 days each and their av-
erage daily yield was 1877 pounds,
for which an average price of S2.77
per cwt., was received. The total val
ue of the milk product for the year
was $32,714.20.
Attention of Town Chairmen, Viii
lage Presidents and City Mayors is
drawn to Section 1480t of the statutes,
which requires that the name or names
of appointee or appointees for weed
commissioners in each town, village or
city must be reported to the State De
partment of Agriculture on or before
the 18th day of May, 1920.

MEETING JUNE 3rd,
IN WOOD COUNTY

Madison, Wis.-For the purpose of
ascertaining the sentiment of the peo-

and also to find how the people feel
about having no open season for deer
hunting in 1920; the State Conserva-
ton Commission has arranged long
program of public hearings that will
take it into every county in the state

Those that want a President to
enforce the laws against the lawless
of. every kind, stealers of railroads
as we'll as stealers of chickens, want
Hiram Johnson. Those that think
good government consists in stop
ping retail theft and not interfering
with wholesale theft do not want
Johnson. He would jail the biggest
of them "at o'clock" as he would
any rabid, drunken, misled l. w. w
bully.
But just THIS time, if they were
wise, even the biggest of the public
pirates would take Johnson and foul
years of strong government will
him.

may find themselves needing som,

There are many causes which lead to
this scrambled condition of some of
our American homes.
Many people rush into matrimony
without sufficient knowledge of the
inner characteristics of each other.
There is a tendency in modern hu-
mainly to throw off the restraints
practiced by our ancestors, and people
are becoming more independent than
heretofore.
In addition the lawyers are very
shrewd and the courts are often quite
accommodating, with the result that
as soon as couple begin to disagree
their first thought is of divorce.
There are conditions under which it
is easy to concede that one person can
hardly continue to live with another
and, still retain his or her self-respect
but these exceptional cases form the
basis of only small percentage of
our divorces.

AS THE EDITOR
SEES IT

1t is useless to forbid larceny when
the deacons make large church contri-
buttons out of excess profits wrung
jointly from labor and the ultimate
consumer"
That statement was made by Vice
President Marshall at recent church
mass meeting, and in those few words
lies one of the secrets of the waning
power of the church, and Of the rise of
wiekedness and selfshness in this land
of ours.
Man can not praise the Lord on Sun
day and serve the devil on Monday and
still retain the respect of his fellow
men.
The man who is reasonably decent
but makes NO pretention to Christian
ity can be respected for just what he
is, for his very honesty in admitting
his imperfections is commendable
trait.
But the one who wears the cloak OF
the Lord to hide the work of the devi
is deserving of just what he receives
the contempt of all people who know
him as he is.
There are good deacons and there
are bad ones. The good ones do much
toward the elevation of the human
race. The bad ones besmirch the whole
church with their own mire.

Work of HOodlumS,

About a week ago the Woman
Civic Association, custodian of the
municipal bathhouse and pier, had
the upper floor of the bathhouse
treated to several coats of paint, eX-
pense of the work making large
hole in the hard-earned money in
the associations treasury. In order
to protect the newly painted floors
and seats from any who might un-
thinkingly damage them. barriers
were erected at the foot of the stairs.
One day, before the paint had had
time to dry, a crowd of hoodlums,
said to have come from neighbor-
ing town about 25 miles away, tore
away the barrier, went upstairs and
succeeded in running the newly paint
ed floors, which must remain in their
unsightly condition because the asso-
citation has no money with which to
have them repainted The lady who
had charge of the bathhouse that
day, seing the croyd upstairs, politely
informed them that the floors had
been painted recently and asked why
they had broken down the barrier
and gone upstairs. The reply she re-
ceived was an insult. If there is any
one who can identify the persons who
were upstairs on this day they will
confer a favor by reporting their
names and place of residence to any
member or officer of the association.
