FARM MOTOR TRUCKS

Motor trucks have rapidly increased
in Wisconsin during the past year.
There were Is, 205 licenses issued by
the secretary of state during 1920
for owners Of motor trucks, compared
to 1885 licenses Issued in 1919. The
light farm truck does not quarrel
with the good roads movement, and
farmers feel that they may invest in
the lighter durable form of truck and
not be inconsistent in demanding that
something be done to prevent the in
jury to some dsathat has come
with the advent of general motor
trucking
In going over the official county list
Of licenses issued to truck owners
one can trace the areas where agri-
culture is using the truck Dodge is
an agricultural county and it has 2S3
truck owners Grant county, purely
farming in scope, has 400 truck own
ers. Jefferson county has 307 trucks,
Sank 281, Fond du Lac 1854, Walworth
294 Washington 259, Waupaca 1879
and Green county 246 All these
counties have preponderant farm
use for trucks, as no very large man
ufacturing towns are located in them.
During the past year $50 auto IL
censes were Cancelled and truck licen-
ses reissued to replace them. Anyone
who has talked with the farmer who
has any amount of heavy hauling to
do without much spare time to do it
in is convinced that the truck is
meeting with universal favor. ID

HELD CONFIRMATION

The Rt. Rev. R. H. Weller, head
Of the Fond du Lac diocese, made
his annual visit to the st. Ignatius'
Episcopal church Wednesday for the
purpose of administering the sacra-
ment of confirmation to class Of
four that had been prepared by Rev.
Everett B. Ellis, vicar The confrma-
ton service was held in the evening,
and as usual on the bishops visits
here, large number turned out to
hear him. The bishop has many
friends in Eagle River outside of the
circle of his church people, who al
ways avail themselves of the .opportu-
nifty to hear his mastery addresses.
His talk Wednesday evening on the
practical religion was an earnest plea
for true Christianity in every walk
of life In his remarks he summed
up the need of true religion in the
Christian, world today not the
church-going kind of religion that is
put on every Sunday and is laid
away for the rest of the week, but
the real religion of Christ that makes
the world better for an individual
having lived in it. Thursday morning
at eight o'clock Bishop Weller adj
ministered the sacrament Of Holy
Eucharist

IIayward's Philosophy
BY E. F. HayN ard, Conoyer. w

There's no use complaining, what
ever befall you,
Perhaps your cares are but blessings
disguised;
There are various ways in which
duty may call you,
To work out the plan she so wisely
devised.
Just take it for granted your task is
essential,
A part most important in Natures
great plan;
For a duty well done is a noble
credential,
And one to be honored, by God and
by man.
So bravely perform every duty
assigned you, a.
And never complain OF the burdens
you bear,
And you will find pleasures enough
to remind you
That life has more. joys, than
hardships and care.

Two New Treasury
Securities Are Issued
Uncle Sans New inducements

certificate. More denomination to
suit the needs of almost every invest

The securities will mature Jan. 1,
1926.
A demand from the American Fed
GRAFTON of Labor and fraternal and

Law FOR FARMERS

A representative Of a correspondent
school of law expressed surprise that
the colleges and universities ol this
countries do not provide a course IN
the fundamental principles of law and
make it compulsory for all students
in the institutions. Some professional
schools do provide such courses and
require that students take training
in the fundamental law principles
which cover their profession The rep
resentative Of the correspondence
school indicated that since law els the
one thing with which a, man comes in
daily contact and that since he is pre-
sumed to have knowledge of it, he
should take training that would give
him at least an insight into its work
ings.
In connection with his suggestion,
would it not be desirable for colleges
of agriculture to provide course in
the principles of law which govern
the business of farming? It would
seem that che graduate in the college
of agriculture would find this knowl-
edge of law useful in the preparing
of contracts, making sales, buying
land and in the general conduct of
his business, especially in his rela-
tons with his neighbors. Perhaps it
would be difficult to arrange simple
course which would not go too deep
ly into the law for agricultural stu
dents, but at least it is worth consid-

OUR SEA POWER

There is every indication that
Britain is ready to let America sue
coed her as mistress of the seas. In
very few years America will be the
chief naval power of the world.
British rulers clearly see this and
yet they are making no effort to
compete with our program. The first
lord OF the admiralty recently stated
in the house of commons that the
ministry is content with fleet that
shall simply equal any other nation S
fleet. But Britain can hardly do even
this. She cannot overtake our build
ing program in time to prevent US
from gaining first place. The fact
that Lloyd George recently ordered
the army and naval estimates cut
down more than half shows that she
had virtually abandoned, for the time
being at least, the idea of equal
strength.
For centuries Britain's policy has
been to excel any other nation in
sea power She has always achieved
that purpose. In recent years she has
aimed at "double-power standard
"a fleet equal in strength to the
combined fleet of any other two ma
tions. Her insular position and her
dependence upon sea traffic for food
led her people to believe that COM
mand of the seas was necessary to
national and individual existence.
And the fact that during the World
war her fleet averted doom showed
wisdom in this policy.
But Britain is now letting command
Of the seas pass away from her.
Her new policy is one of the most
astounding developments of modern
times. One reason for it, of course.
is that Great Britain no longer has
any fear of Germany's navy. Another
reason is that British rulers do not
apprehend that there will ever be
war between their country and the
United States. Still another reason,
perhaps a controlling one, is that the
British government is forced to econ
omize in every way.
Be the causes what they may, the
facts are clear The backbone Of any
war fleet is it's capital ships-its mod
ern, efficient ships of the line. By
h
1924, if Americas program already
far in the constructive stage, is car
Yried out, Great Britain will have only
Is Of these ships to our q and her
heaviest guns will be only 15-inch
while our heaviest guns will be of
16-inch caliber. Our battleships, more
over, will be speedier and more Of
them will be built upon study of re-
cent experience In sum, our battle
ships will be larger, more heavily
gunned, more modern, and efficient
and decidedly more numerous.
But Great Britain will not let any
world power except America even
equal her in naval strength She will
supplement her fleet, moreover, with
most formidable air force one
fully adequate for the protection Of
her warships as well as for attacks
upon the enemy on land or sea or in
the air.
Air power is essential to protecting
sea power and in the future control
OF the sea air power will be essential.
With this in mind America should
make as much progress in air power
as she is making in sea power Elk.
