HELP THE NEEDY

We were informed the other day
that there are an unusual number of
people this year badly in need of
winter wearing apparel. There is
doubtless considerable amount of
good clothing packed away in Eagle
River homes that could be made to
serve a very useful purpose if placed
in the hands of those who have not
means to buy new. Any thing which
has been discarded or laid aside by
men, women and children will serve
a double purpose if given to people
who can make use of it for some
member of the family. Eagle River
has frequently been generous in this
respect and we believe that this year
circumstances make it advisable for
those with plenty to Gull out all use
full garments carefully and send them
where they will do great deal more
good than hanging on closet hooks.

BIaine-Reid-R Mix-up
Reflects Upon Wisconsin
TIMELY COMMENT BY MlLWAU-
KEE JOURNAL ON CHRIST
PARDON SITUATION

The people of Wisconsin have a
right to know, they must know, what
is the law in the dispute about auth
ority between the governor and Judge
Reid of the circuit court. But what
ever the right Interpretation of the
law shall prove to be, this incident
has been sorry thing for Wisconsin
It cannot fail to inspire disrespect
for the law and the officers of the
law that disagreement between the
highest executive authority and a
Judge whose rank is second only to
that of justice of our highest court,
instead Of being settled by friendly
action to determine what was right,
has been pushed to an open struggle.
Nor can one searching closely find
any reason for carrying the dispute so
far.
Judge Reid, who had sentenced the
prisoner, maintained that the execu-
tive's pardoning power did not extend
to his case. He suggested that the
matter could be settled definitely by
legal proceedings which would bring
it before the supreme court. Such a
process appeals to the layman as
right and proper. 1t could scarcely
harm the prisoner since only three
days of his term remained unserved
when the sheriff acknowledged re-
ceipt Of the governors pardon mes
sage.
To force the issue further was to
force on Sheriff Rodd the decision
whether Judge or governor was right.
And it is further lamentable conse-
quence that the sheriff is now being
called in question by the governor.
This is a minor phase of the embroil-
ment. Presumably the sheriff, who OBJ
tanned legal advice, did as his judg-
ment of the law and his conscience
dictated. To punish him will not set
tie the question Of whether Gov.
Blaine had the right to pardon the
man or Judge Reid was right in in
sisting that he could not legally be
freed by executive Intervention.
A dispute which need never have
gone farther than a friendly suit is
pushed to scandal, a sheriff is dragged
in, partisanship for the judge, the gov
ernor, the sheriff, even the prisoner is
excited-all as is seems unnecessarily
and to the shame Of Wisconsin and
the lowering of respect for the just
and orderly operation of the law. This
is the outstanding fact, this is the
most deplorable part of it, this is what
Wisconsin resents. Milwaukee Jour
nal.

Orphanage Feels Effects
Of Close Times Just Now
LET THANKSGIVING SPIRIT PRE-
VAIL AND MAKE GIFT TO
WORTHY CAUSE

The close times and increased popu.
lation, have dealt the Christian Home
Orphanage of Council Bluffs, Iowa, a
heavy blow. This institution cares for
an average of $50 little children daily.
It also conducts department for de-
formed and crippled children. The
institution was founded in 1882, and
since that time has provided for an
average of 500 homeless people an
nually. The institution is at present
struggling under heavy debt, and
with winter at hand, and calls from
the needy rapidly increasing, efforts
are being made to wipe out the debt
by Thanksgiving offering. This in
stitution is the only home that hun
dreds of destitute children and aged
women know. The Home is supported
entirely by voluntary contributions of
charitable people. 1t receives children
from any part Of the country, employs
no travelling agents and is absolutely
non-sectarian. This great institution
sorely needs your help now. Send
them Thanksgiving donation and
help them pay off the old debt and
care for many hundreds who will seek
food and shelter there this winter.

Paid in Bonus

In the three years following the
armistice, Wisconsin has paid close to
$l6,000,0OO in bonus money for it's
service men and women, according to
officials at the state capitol.
Upwards Of 10000 of Wisconsin's
veterans have received either the
straight bonus Of $40 month for
time in service or the educational
bonus of $50 month for attending
school,
1--WE have paid Ill, 700 claims, about
$50 of which have been nurses" said
Col ]. G. Salesman of the service rec
ognition board, amounting to total
of $14,O0O,OO0 We are still receiving
applications for the bonus at the rate
of 10 or IL day. The largest amount
payable is $475 from April, 1917, when
war was declared, to March 8, 1921,
when peace was officially proclaimed.
Although countless articles have
appeared on this bonus we find every
week that some one comes in, even
from Madison, having just heard that
state bonus was available. We have
sent bonus checks as far as the Phil
eippines, Hawaii, and even to detach-
ments of troops including Wisconsin
boys in China"
Maj. E. A. Fitzpatrick of the edu-
cational bonus board declared that
close to 1000 service men and women
had awaited themselves of the privi-
lege of furthering their education by
use of the $50 month educational
bonus. Upwards of $1,S0O,00O has
been spent for this purpose.

boy who belonged to it has been killed
his copy may be secured by the next
of kin by applying to the Red Cross.
That organization also announces
that service men who have failed to
receive Victory medals or buttons
may apply to it so that copies of dis
charge papers may be sent to the Vic
tory medal Office at Minneapolis.

Keep Your Money at Home

Patriotism should begin at home;
extend out from the home to the home
town or community; thence over the
country; and thence over the state
and nation. The patriotism that does
not include it's own nest, its own fam
lily and its own surroundings, is not
much patriotism, nationally or any
other way We should all think of
these things continually, for they are
vital to our best interests and well
fare, and the best interests of our
family, friends and neighbors. There
is always argument on both sides of
any question, but the basic facts re-
main, just the same, and we should
not lose sight of those basic facts.
AS a rule goods can be purchased in
the home town as cheap as in other
towns or cities; not all things, but
the majority Of the commodities which
we use. Some articles may be a bit
higher once in a while, but it is
Suud11y tIu0 Ludt SO1uG die OllGu d
bit lower, and the whole monthly &C.
count will balance pretty well, take
it up one side and down the other
But even if it did cost tri1e more
to trade at home than to send money
away to the cities, still it would be
cheaper in the long run to buy at
home and let the money circulate
around the town, each dollar doing a
hundred dollars worth of business be-
fore it finally slips away.
Fl we do not build up our own home
town there will not be any home
town, and all our investments in it,
for homes or anything else, will fall
fiat, and we all lose out Any way you
want to look at this trading away
from home business, it figures out
loss in the long run for everybody
who engages in it as a regular thing.

on an excess number of new INFESTED
herds. This will result in more rapid
progress and also insure the wise ex-
penditure of indemnity money. In
demnity money is almost thrown away
if herds are not under careful super
vision and if not enough attention is
paid to checking up and keeping after
once-tested herds so that they may
make final cleanup. I'VE have
enough indemnity money to enable us
to care well for the herds which may
wish to retest, but if we admit too
many INFESTED herds for supervision
the funds may play out again before
the fiscal year Closes" said DR.. Ella
son.
Recently an examination was con
Quoted to certify large number of
Wisconsin veterinarians for accredited
herd work. These accredited veter-
inarians" will be allowed to test herds
once year when they stand in ac-
credited herd rating, and also test
individual animals that may be
brought for addition to such fully ac-
credited herds. They will not do test
ing on herds not yet qualified.
The addition of these local, licensed
veterinarians to the list of men en-
abled to do official accredited herd
testing will prove that the original
contentious of the federal bureau men
were right. There was controversy
at one time, reflected in these columns
by letters from certain veterinarians,
wherein the fear was expressed that
free testing would undermine the work
for local practitioners. The federal
men replied that when the accredited
system was established its growth and
scope would be SO large that no corps
of public service employees could han
die it-and they we're right, as events
have shown. 1t is no untruth to say
that the whole structure Of future &C.
credited herd stability and perma-
nence rests with the high-class, we'll
trained local veterinarians.
Wisconsin has won because of the
general insistence upon clean bills OF
health upon the part of cattle buyers
and upon the necessity for protecting
the health Of humanity. The reasons
are placed in this order not because OF
their real Importance, but because pri
vate sales and public auctions demand
tuberculin-tested animals, while hui
mainly may be protected from infec
ton by pasteurization of milk for i'm
mediate use or for butter and cheese
manufacture. At any rate, the pin
nacle of achievement above all other
states has been reached and Wiscon
sin is determined to maintain it.-Wis

Hayward's Philosophy
E. F. Hayward, Conover Wis.
HOPE

HOPE
l have prayed to the Lord to guide me
Alright,
To lead me from darkness out into
the light;
To show me the path that is godly
and true,
And point out the things he would
have me to do.
My soul has cried out in its anguish
and grief,
For a message from heaven TO bring
me relief;
Tho I've stood on the brink of the
Chasm Despair,
Where one step would take me away
over there,
Yet, his love and his pity have urged
me to stay,
With a glimmering hope of another
bright day;
And my spirit calls out from the dark
ness of night,
And tells me keep on and not give
up the fight.
So it must be, that somehow, the
Lord has it planned,
That I'm doing ALL RIGHT, tho I
can't understand;
So I'll follow the path he has laid
out for me,
And welcome the finish whatever it
be.

The death of Mrs. George Gould last
Sunday was an occurrence of world
wide notice, although strange to say,
of more than passing interest to many
in Eagle River owing to the fact
she and her husband spent their

in their private car which was side
tracked here for several days while
they explored the woods and waters
of this section, then in the height of
the pine logging activity.

Thanksgiving 1921

Once again Thanksgiving is with u.s. and as we
approach this, the most inspiring of our Holidays,
our thoughts go back to those noble Pilgrim Faith
ers who originated this day There, in their new
homes, after the first harvest had been gathered
and their stores put away for the winter they set
aside a day of general thanksgiving. Forgetting
their hardshps, their victorious fight against al
most overwhelming Odds the disaster and priva-
tions and universities, they looked down the broad
vista of the future and foresaw days of peace and
plenty and out of the fullness of their hearts they
gave thanks to the God who had been so good to
them.
This wonderful custom has been handed down
to us through the years since this memorable first
Thanksgiving Day. We, too, have hardships,
our obstacles, our adversities but let us initiate
that splendid example set us by these God-fearing
Pilgrim Fathers and forget all the petty details
