robbery and IRE and good schools are
maintained for the education of the
children. When town is dead, there
is little money in circulation, store
buildings stand empty with 'For Sale"
sign hanging on the front door, there
is little employment for the laboring
man, the streets are dark, the schools
are crippled.
What sort of town do you want to
live in? There is only one answer to
that question. You want to live in the
live town and enjoy all the good things
that come to the residents Of such
community.
Answer Easily Found.
The only question then is as to how
these prosperous conditions can be
created or maintained and it is the
easiest thing in the world to find the
answer to that question.
If the people of a community will
keep their money at home and keep it
in circulation among themselves, they
need have no fear of ever being COM
PEELED to live in a dead town. If the
people will patronize their own bust
ness men instead of sending their dol
lars to the mail order houses, the
prosperity of the community will take
care of itself.
The local stores, to very large ex-
tent, make every town. The taxes
paid by the business men of the COM
munity are the principal support of
the schools and public institutions. 1t
is the taxes paid by the storekeepers,
to large extent, that make possible
the public improvements, the fire pro-
lection, the street lighting and the
many other things which make town
worth living in. The mail order house
does not pay any taxes in the town
from which it gets its money. 1t does
not help to support the schools or
the churches. 1t does not help light
the streets or maintain the fire de-
partment. 1t is the aim of the mail
order houses to drive small town mer-
chants out of business, so that the
people will be compelled to send to
the cities for their merchandise and
they are spending thousands of dol
lars every month to accomplish this
purpose. If they should succeed, who
would pay the taxes that are now
paid by the local merchants? It's a
certainty that the mail order house
would not pay them.
Issue Is Clear Cut.
Every dollar spent at home helps
to make the town a live one.
Every dollar sent away from home
to the mail order house helps to make
the town a dead one.
The issue is clear-cut one and is
squarely up to every resident of the
whether a resident of the
town itself or of the country surround
ing it. The man who does not care
he lives in live or dead
town, if there is such man. need
waste no thought on the subject, but
the man who wants to live in a live
town cannot get away from it. 1t is
up to him to make his town live one
or dead one.

MARATHON GRANITE FAMOUS
FOR DURABILITY AND POLISH

gray, although some light pink is also
found there. The markets are thus
| fairly we'll defined, the east using the
| gray granite and the west and central
| west the red The chief reason for
! this demarkation lies in the freight
rates Granite is heavy material and
with freight rates at their present lev
/ ell it is not feasible for either the east
ern or the local companies to compete
! ia each others territory The local
companies market most OF their pro-
duct in the middle west, and in the
west Competition has developed to
some extent on account of the build
! ing situation in the east The Vermont
! quarries. being unable to sell the
major part of their output to the
| building trade on account of lack OF
! construction in their territory, have
turned their attention to the mafufac-
ture of monuments, thus increasing
competition with the Wisconsin pro-
duct, which is chiefly used in monu-
mental work. The quality OF Wausau
granite enables it to meet this compe-
tition satisfactorily.
The granite is blasted out in the
quarries and brought to the city in
rough blocks. AT the plant it is cut,
polished, carved and lettered into the
finished product Teams and motor
trucks haul the rough blocks to the
plant, some of the blocks weighing
many tons. The average is about two
tons, but one block hauled to the plant
of the Marathon Granite company on
q specially constructed wagon, con-
tanned 1875 cubic feet and weighed
about seventeen tons. This is the
largest block handled in the quarries
to date.
Thirty Years.
The industry in Wausau is about
thirty years old, having been started
by some of the pioneer business men
of the city. The Marathon Granite
Works, with plant at the north end
of Third street, is tie oldest COM
pany now doing business in the city.
Its plant, outside Of the ones at Barre,
Vermont, Is the largest single plant in
the country. The Lake Wausau Gran
lite company is another and newer
concern also doing good business at
the present time. The Anderson Bros.
and Johnson company manufactures
finished granite products, and various
works in the city do a
business in gravestones and
monuments.
Chief credit for the development
of the industry in Wausau is generally
given to Charles DeVoe, president of |
the Marathon Granite company, who |
has been in the business for the past
thirty years, and. realizing the future
In store for Wausau granite, has |
greatly increased the business from |
its first modest beginnings.

PLAN TO FIGHT PROPAGANDA
viii Urge Congress to Make English
Language and American History
Compulsory In Schools.

Henry J. Ryan, who succeeded Ar
thur Woods as national director Of the
Americanism commission Of the Amer
lean Legion, has announced a definite
program Of Americanism activities
which Legion leaders believe will ef-
fectvely combat anti-American propa-
ganda at Its sources.
The plan includes a sympathetic re-
ception to the immigrant and a method
Of providing him with opportunities to
school himself In American ideas; i'm
provement Of immigration and natural.
ization laws; measures to stop the cir
culation Of BOlshevist and 1. W. w.
propaganda, and providing greater
chance for education In citizenship
among the adult nhtive born.
The Legion's campaign will start
with the school. which Is characterized
BY MIR. Ryan as the foundation of char.
acter building. mo greater problem
challenges the American people than
the school" said Mr.. Ryan. "Sweeping
changes must be made In our schools
or revolution and the destruction of
America will be but matter of time.
The school system Of America, as con-
stituted at present, is incapable Of de-
veloping the type of intelligent citizen
ship which is the foundation Of de-
mocracy, and without which human lib
erty has no championA The changes
which the American Legion advocates
are, first, that English shall be the con-
trolling language In all schools, and,
second, that the study of American his
tory and clvlcs shall be made compul.
sorry to all school pupils. To accom-
plish these proposals the Legion WIN
petition congress to formulate q reso-
luton recommending to state legisla-
lures the passage Of STATUTES embody-
Ing these changes"

Up Grease Cups Provided
for Lubricating.

Many cars axe fitted with rear

While 1t Is not necessary to turn the

some attention to this most impor-
tant part. In cantllever suspensions
