Parent Teachers organizations. Much
benefit will be derived from such act

will be better accomplished with state
connections, which provide among
other things that, as often as the local
body can afford it, speakers of prom

be secured for local audiences.

who have heretofore taken charge Of
that work, will be away, was left

the last meeting of this school year.
Ali members and everyone else inter

of the community and its general dis
cussions are productive of results.

HIayward's Philosophy
Pansies
~ e. F. Hayw ard, Conover. Wis.

Pansies
love the pansies meek and mild.
They soothe my nature, rough and
wild.
They breathe a perfume in the air,
Which drives away all doubt and
care.
In Winters season, when you go
To sleep beneath the ice and snow,
I'll wait and watch, til sun and rain,
Shall bring my pansies back again.
Oh pansies rare with varied hue,
My heart shall ever yearn for you,
I'll treasure you through life, sweet
flower,
And love you every day and hour
And when leave this world of care.
And make the journey over there,
I'll know tbs heaven, when | see
Ny pansies looking up at me.

ARE THE GOOD OLD HOUSES"

BE Eh9
Some people are fond of talking
about the good old days" and the
things that went with them. Ere
quently they remark on the wonderful
houses Of the good old days, giving
the impression that the houses of to-
day are in some ways vastly inferior
This of course, is just one of those
little fallacies that no one takes the
trouble to deny But the truth is that
the average person who has lived in a
modern home would feel severely pun
ished if he had to live in one of these
good old houses" with it's usual ugli-
ness of design and utter lack of the
conyeniencies of the modern home.
With modern materials and present
day workmanship it is possible to have
durability and comfort such as was
not dreamed of a generation ago, and
the perfecting of manufacturing pro-
cesses, together with the development
of many new methods in constructor,
has made the good things of modern
building obtainable at prices that the
great majority can afford.
Only those who would prefer grand
mothers horse-hair-clad parlor with
its drawn shades to the sun parlor and
sleeping porch of the home of today
have any occasion to talk about the
good old days as far as. home build
ing is concerned.
During the high price period after
the armistice, building costs went to
what seemed very high levels. But at
their highest, homes were real invest
ments in comfort. Today, with ma
terial prices much lower, the home
builder can be sure of real value for
every dollar invested
We handle the full line of building
material including brick.

Improved Service is
Much Appreciated
New Gates on the Water Wheel
Make Big Difference in the
Light and PoWer-Are
Changing Wires

Users of light and water service
heaped blessings on the heads OF the
Light & Water Commission this week
fer the repairs they made on the wa
ter wheel at the power dam Sunday.
Twenty-Five new gates were recently
received and twelve of them were put
in place the first of the week. The
improvement in light and power was
Immediately seen, and with the addl-
ton of the other new gates, the SER
vice should be somewhere near its
normal standard, a condition which
certainly will be appreciated by pat
rOns. The Commission advises that
this repair work would have been
done sooner but that it was impOssi-
BILE to work in. the pit in winter
weather, on account of the water
freezing. Location of the trouble and
first repairs were made late last fall.
These repairs were only temporary,
the best that could be done under the
ClICQIlSCtlCCo. IlO WOk tAA1t 10 ~
ing done now should last.
Further improvement in the light
and power service is now under way,
which, if successful, will add much to
the comfort and patience of patrons
during the summer months. Hereto
fore during electrical storms it has
been the custom to close down the
plant at the dam. The reason was
given that the lightning arrest
ers were insufficient to prevent dam
age being done to the system should
a bolt strike 70 Offset chat All from
wire, is being strung at the top Of the
transmission line, and the third wire
that was in that position is being
droppd to the cross arm with the
other two The iron wire will be
grounded at several places along the
line between the power station on the
Wisconsin river and the sub-station
in town. This arrangement will take
care of most electrical storms with
out having to shut down the plant
1t will be an improvement very much
appreciated by all who use light and
power

Prevent Forest Fire
and Save Property
Care With Use of Fire in Land
Clearing Will Prevent Dis
astrOus Losses in This
Part of State

During 1920 over 100000 acres in
Northern Wisconsin were burned ov-
err by forest fires, with large losses in
homes, barns, hay, green timber and
great quantities of young tree growth.
The bulk of these tires came from the
burning operations of settlers and
farmers.
All are anxious to see clearing pro-
gress and farms developed and we
realize that to do such work requires
the use of fires. However we want
to see such fires confined to the prop
erty of the person setting them, and
such burning done at time when it
is not dangerously dry. Forest and
marsh fires travelling across country
always do great damage.
Be careful in setting fire and watch
your fires after they are set. mo-
ment of your time may save fortune
for your neighbor.
We want to prevent forest fires
this year in Wisconsin. We will have
an early spring from all indications,
with chances for early spring fires.
Last year a great deal of damage was
done in our state from these fires
We want to prevent them this year
1t will require more interest from ALL
especially town chairmen, who are
NV law town fire wardenS
Reports last year indicate two
main sources of fires-settlers and
farmers clearing land and railroads.
No settler should be permitted to set
a fire for clearing unless he watches
that fire and prevents it from rum
ming over adjoining lands. Respon-
sibility should be fixed on the man
who sets the fire. Town chairmen
who have an intimate knowledge of
local conditions can do a great deal
of good in properly guiding land clear
ing operations so that destructive
fires will not result. Section men, in
burning rights of way, should be
compelled to confne the fires they
set to the rights of way. Bad fires
resulted from this source last year.
The law authorizes town boards to
prohibit the setting Of fires during
dangerous dry times, by the posting
Of special fire notices in at least five
places in the resroctsve- 5w1ss.s MI
chairmen should have supply of
these signs handy at all times. They
will be furnished by this commission
on request. The law provides pen
atty for neglect in this respect. When
dry times occur these signs should
be posted and citizens warned of such
condition existing and men setting
fires thereafter until the dry time
passes should be promptly arrested
and prosecuted.
In preventing these fires on forest
or cut-oyer lands we add to
Our supply of wood and timber
Our supply Of fish and game
Our supply of pure water
Oar good climate ard living con-
ditions.
1t pays to prevent these and all
other destructive fires.
According to recent report issued
by the state conservation commission

Real independence

We have celebrated the 4th of July
with renewed satisfaction, enjoying the
political freedom to which we are en-
titled by our location and aspirations.
But is our independence complete?
Are we not still under bondage to
the English system of the private own
ership of land? What matters a title?
What is the difference whether we
pay land rentals 10 the agents of a
duke or to the agents of a private
citizen as long as we have to pay
them? Why not pay them to the
agents of the state in place of taxes
"Some vague period of drowsy laugh
ter must be devoted to the considera-
ton of this subject" Gas Mr.. Jasper
observed. while hitting the pipe in his
favorite opium joint by all those who
cannot see the justice of this PROPOSE

Thoughts of Today
The Real Sufferers

The lineup of stews, pickles and
souses in the New York City 4th of
July parade was both instructive and
entertaining. Mind you, no saloon
keeper, bartender, brewer or distiller
was permitted under any circum-
stances to march. 1t was composed al
together of customers, whose shoes
had brass railing stains on the instep.
1t was not the people who sold liquor
who were protesting, it was those who
bought Before prohibition came in
we We're told how many people would
lose their employment. Why not be
consistent and show us the condition
of those who have lost their jobs.
Really they should be the main stay
of future professions. l have more
pity for them than for the moderate
souses who claim that they have very
little appetite for drink and therefore
are deprived of very little by prohibit
ton.

Sterilization

The labor unions of New York City
will have to go through a delousing
process to get rid of Brindell and his
officers. Every movement for the bet
terment of class invariably offers
an opportunity for some ear or graft
er to take the lead. This is because
the principles of justice and truth
are overlooked by the leaders followed
in turn by the masses. Some protest,
it is true, but they soon find them
selves in a minority and their appeals
are unheeded Equity for all citizens
is the only true basis of reform. Give

The hit-or-miss happy-go-lucky style
of disturbing the public source of
wealth among few individuals is well
illustrated in the case of Lete Kolvin
oil lease valued at seven million dol
lars. Lete Kolvin was Creek Indian
woman murdered by her husband in
1917, and the court has awarded her
heirs the title to the property. No one
envies their luck but all should see
the absurdity of giving seven millions
to people who never have and never
will render any service in exchange.
The wells might produce seventy mil
million or run dry, but the principle
remains unchanged. 1t is the peoples
wealth these persons are appropriate
