Recent developments make that
statement almost prophetic. The
beauty spots of Wisconsin are either
being destroyed by the hand of man or
fast falling into private ownerships.
THIS is especially true of our lake and
forest areas. In lower Wisconsin the
lake frontage IS private property, fen
ced in, with the warning sign, 'sPrivate
Property OFF," Most of our
beautiful forests have been cut, es-
pecially on the water fronts.
The state of Wisconsin is today in
the same position as our large cities
were fifty or sixty years ago. The
Illinois Central Railroad occupies the
lake front in Chicago and the city of
Chicago is now spending millions of

features below:

dollars building a new lake front out
side of the railroad tracks. The city
of Milwaukee is somewhat situated
and spending hundreds of thousands
of dollars building a new lake front
outside the Chicago and Northwestern
railroad tracks. It must be remem-
bered that on the inland lakes new lake
frontage cannot be built. Once lost
it is practically lost forever.
There are many beauty spots in
Wisconsin. Normally the tendency of
tourists is and will be to HE themsel-
YES to the lake and forest region of
the north. Their journey through
Wisconsin will benefit all parts of the
state. In the north however, lake shore
frontage is rapidly falling into the
hands of private owners and the sign

the organization of the Wisconsin
Lakes and Parks Association were the
facts cited above-to conserve Wis
consin's beauty spots before too late.
It's first effort will be TO put on cam
paign TO raise fnnd to purchase the
Northern Lakes Park on the boundary
of Price and Sawyer counties to pre-
sent to the state for park purposes. A
bill making an appropriation for its
purchase was passed by an overwhelm-
ing vote in the legislature and vetoed
by the Governor. The virgin forest in
the park is in danger of immediate de-
struction as the ring of the woodman's S
axe is heard at its border, and the
logging railroad has been laid into
the park. It is a beautiful tract 5000
acres of old ferest, with twelve lakes
and eight miles of the Flambeau River
It not saved now, it will be lost.
If successful in this effort the move
ment will be pushed to secure other
beauty spots, through a campaign of
building up sentiment that
will result in the state adopting a con-
structive policy.
A beginning must be made. Be-
cause of the beauty of this spot, the
danger that it will be log

The tremendous increase in the num-
Der of motor vehicles, there are 1885,
900 in Wisconsin, and 100000 in II
linois, and the improved highways, has
increased the number of tourists by
leaps and bounds Within ten years
it is safe to predict that practically all
the upper Wisconsin lake frontage will
be private holdings and the general
public will be barred. If we wish to
save the tourist business we must set
aside and conserve some of the beauty
spots of the state, especially those in
upper Wisconsin which will soon be
lost. Lakes and forest are what lure
most of the tourists. We have no state
park in the lake and forest region. Of
our seven state parks, two were chos-
en- because of historic interest, three
of them are odd and beautiful geolog-
ical formations, and one overlooks the

RETAIL DEALERS
FACETRUE BILLS
IN WAR ON PRICES
From Chicago Herald Examiner

From Chicago Herald Examiner
Indictments against retail mer-
chants belonging to dealers associa-
tions (which meet to comare prices"
were forecast yesterday by representa-
tives of the Federal Department of
Justice.
These indictments will form part of
the campaign against retail profteer-
ing recently announced in Washing
tonby Attorney General Henry, NJ
Daugherty. Action will be taken, it
was explained, on the ground that
associations are combinations III re-
straint of trade and thus violate pro-
visions of the Sherman antitrust law
Investigation shows that the large
merchants have made no pretense Of
lowering their prices, although trade
conditions and lowered wages warrant
price reductions" said District Attor-
ney Charles F. Clyne.
''We also are looking into these So
called MONDAY luncheons held by va
rious retailers associations, which
lclaim to meet for the public good AS
IA matter of fact, they meet to COM
pare prices, and prices will not be re-
duced until these associations are
broken up.
Indictments positively will follow
where we find an association operat-
ing in restraint of trade. Hight prices
must come down"

Chas. F. Kellogg's handsome house

fact that the fire burned largely from

completed its destruction.

We're not consumed by the flames were
either badly scorched, or saturated

unusuable.
The Kellogg house was a large old
fashioned frame structure, about
thirty-five years old. 1t was originally
built by w. T. Jones, but has been
owned by Mr.. Kellogg for the past
twenty-five years. The house was in
sured for $500 and the furnishings
for $4,000, which it is estimated will
cover a large proportion of the dam
age.
Pending the making of permanent
arrangements, Mr.. and Mrs. Kellogg
are making their home with their son,
Edgar Kellogg. Mrs. Katherine Fisher
and her son, Bruce, who lived with
them, are staying with w. J. Fisher.

A few years before his leath, Presi-

is becoming more and more significant

just as parks are an imperative neces-
sity to large communities, when the
state becomes more densely populat-
ed, state parks will become a neces sity.
At that time he said a large part of
the area of Wisconsin was practically
a free territory used by the people as
they desired, and continued:
GAS the state becomes inhabited to
i S full capacity this condition will pass
away and practically the only land
which will be available for such pur-
poses will be the land owned by the

THE BIGGEST INDUSTRY
 IN THE SOUTH

Cotton is the biggest and most i'm portant product of the South-tht staple crop, the thing that brings more money into the Cotton produc- ing states than any other. The aver age crop in Texas is estimated at about two and one-half million bales, worth approximately four hundred and five million dollars. The crop of Texas and Louisiana together is worth about four hundred and fifty million dollars.
 The handling and financing of this tremendous business involves a great deal of specialized work, classifying and stapling every bale. Samples from each bale must be graded sev- eral times during the journey of the cotton from the farmers field to the factory. This work requires trained men. The demand for such men is always urgent The ability to grade cotton is essential for the local buyer, employees of bonded warehouses and congresses, representative of northern factories, cotton brokers and in many other branches of the industry. The farmer himself ought in protection of his own interests, ts be able to grade cotton. He is com 1 pletely at the mercy of the buyer. Il is self-evident that man, in order to get full value for what he has t( sell, ought to know what he is sell ing
