"WHY DOUBLE STANDARD?"

Editor ws-Budget:
We are readers of your splendid
paper and enjoy it very much. While
dated Feb 18th. noticed the article en-
titled: Girls Smoking Cigarettes
Now, there is no one that is moro
opposed to tobacco and cigarettes than
| am. But | wondered why the double
standard Why is it worse for girls
to use the dope than for her father
and brothers to use it? And who is
to blame for it. when they set the eX-
ample?
We might as well be reconciled, for
if the fathers continue to use them, all
our girls as we'll as boys will be
brought into this world with the habit
fastened upon them, until it will be
impossible for the girls to resist the
forced to enhale the smoke and carry
the smell around in their clothes, until
one would wonder how she could keep
from getting the habit.
l would just as soon my girl would
use the stuff as my boys But I'm
thankful none of them use it, and |
think it the duty Of every Christian
to pray that God will hasten the day
that the awful curse will be wiped out
of our nation

Dear Sir: | have been informed
that one of the Ladysmith papers has
stated that the people Of Lexington
were Indifferent and hostile to the pro-
posed transfer track at that point.
7 wish to say that such a statement
is in error. as the people here are not
Indifferent to this work They realize
the great benefit that this Improvement
will be to the surrounding country at
a very moderate cost and are enthuSi-
aStically in favor Of it.
\ transfer track would, perhaps. be
the means of securing a depot at this
point and | know that the many trav-
elerS who have had to face the wind
and weather at Lexington waiting for
trains would welcome such an i'm
prOyement.
This work would be. not only a
benefit to Ladysmith and Lexington,
hut to the entire Northern Wisconsin
and we feel that everyone should do
their utmost to obtain it,

WHY NOT SELECT GOOD
"SWIVEL CHAIR" MEN?
Editor News-Budget,
InlYSmith. Wisconsin

EIIilol ANtN
LadySmith. Wisconsin,
Dear Sir: | have had the letters
pertaining to high taxes and swivel
chairs read to me. and as | intend to
come back to my home in RuSk county
as soon as my doctor will permit, /
am intensely interested in their re-
suits. According to figures the sal
aries paid 70 the occupants of swivel
chairs do not exceed ) per cent of the
taxes. Big private business men who
are successful consider themselves for
tmate if they do not have to pay their
office forces more than 10 per cent of
their expenses. Now. fellow citizens,
big business fills its offices with the
best brains that money can hire. Why
don't we elect to office the best brains
in our communities. so that the 80 per
per cent of our taxes that are not used
for paying salaries will be used to the
best advantage. / do not believe that
any man objects to spending a dollar
if he gets IL dollars worth. Spring
election is coming so let us open our
eyes and pick men who have made the
best honest financial success in their
private business and elect them to our
public offices. instead Of following the
general custom of electing incompe-
tent or dishonest men. | believe this
would result in lowering the taxes
without checking public Improvement
Il great deal better than abOlishing a
few swivel chairs.

by people with cracked voices that it

YOU will find that it has great deal
of merit.
''In the schools the pupils are per-
mitted to recite some of our best
poems, and the poems aren't mt Tor
anything after it. The school author
tiles should prohibit this sort of thing,
and prepare a volume of cheap ashes

be injured, no matter what you do TO
it. There is plenty of punk poetry in
the world, and a collection Of this
stuff would serve the scho0lbOy elo-
cutiOnists just as we'll as the high
class poetry that is SO easily spoiled.
''When / went to school, about
hundred years ago, there was a tall,
freckled gangling boy, who talked
through his nose, with sort OF WHINE

the severest tests of the government

there is nothing better in any Ian
guage. 1t is rather melancholy, but It
has a sort of dOggone soothing quail
itv that is a balm to the bruised spirit
of a landlord when he finds that tne
receipts of his hotel don't equal the

"Time and again, when discouraged

OLDEST PAPER MILL
IN STATE OF WISCONSIN

After severed weeks of investigating
we feel that we have learned the 1oca-
ton OF the first paper mill in Wiscon-
sin although some places have claimed
the honor, such as Neenah and other
present paper mill cities. but we are
now satisfied that Whitewater deserves
the honor. In a letter just received
from Mr.. f. Pollard, who still lives
in Whitewater, he writes that man
named CrOmhy built the mill in 1857,
starting it on print paper with Il pro-
duction of one ton per day.
The paper machine was Al inches
wide. consisting of six dryers, each %
inches in diameter and three calender
rolls. Steam and water was used, and
as the writer has visited the site it
would be estimated that they had
about fifty horsepower from the dam
The speed of the paper machine was
60 feet. Later the mill burned down
and was not rebuilt again for a few
years. Mr.. Pollard states that he came
to Whitewater in 1885 and put i'm new
machinery with a capacity Of twelve
tons a day, making straw ham wrap
pers. The mill was later sold to the
Columbia Steam Paper Company and
closed down in 1893 and never started
mp again.
few years ago Libby, Mcneil &
Libby built Il large. modern condens-
airy on the site. Since the paper mill
closed down Mr.. Pollard has lived i'm
retirement at his Whitewater home
and is in fairly good health.
