Home OF F.
W.D. TRUCK

We spent Sunday in Clintonville
with Ruth and Dean C. Babcock, our
daughter and son-in-law. We left
Saturday morning over the Green Bay
and Western railroad and arrived there
at 10 o'clock. We had the pleasure of
M. L. Carey's company who was 60
ing to Shawano via Clintonville. M.
L. Carey travels for the erode & Nash
Paper Co., of ;Nekoosa.
Clintonville, Wis, is we'll known and
much talked about on account of the
fact that it is the home of the Four
Wheel Drive Truck.
The truck is manufactured here and
it is large industry. Clintonviile is
an attractive little city to the Wis
itor with wide paved street running
its entire length. 1t has many mod
ern up-to-date business places, among
them we found Gleue Bros. Shoe Store
which was familiar to US. We called
there and found Mr. Gleue and his son,
who were glad to see US. There were
resent in their store at that time, Sat-
lrday afternoon, about two hundred
children who had responded to an in
vitation for Buster Brown advertis-
ing stunt. We asked Mr.. Gleue if he
was running kindergarten. This
store is artistically arranged, we'll To-
Gated, and very attractive for their
business. Thep apepar to be doing
well.
Clintonville has high school build
ing that would do credit to any city in
The state. 1t is ideal in it's construc-
lion, location, equipment and arrange
ment. We would say for it, that it is
perfection itself for the instruction,
are and comfort of the student. No
thing is lacking in any of it's appoint
ments. The people of Clintonville are
to be congratulated upon it's high
school building.
Clintonville is nicely located upon a
high elevation, surrounded by pros
porous farming community. 1t has
many modern business blocks and
homes. 1t gives the visitor an impress
sion of prosperity and thrift. We GER
tainly enjoyed our short visit there
Monday morning while walking
down the street to make a fraternal
call at the Gazette printing office, we
were accosted by Lacy Horton, who
was on his return home from Sahw-
ano where he had taken his family to
visit with her people He invited US
for ride home in his car which we
gladly accepted. On thetrip home we
passed through Symco, Nelsonville,
Amherst, Amherst Junction, Stevens
Point, Plever, thence home. The crop
conditions in Waupaca county looked
very much better than they did in
Portage and Wood. 1t was plainly to
be seen that the farther east you went
the better crop conditions you found.
The nearer the lake and Green Bay
you approached, the better the crops
were, and more indications of rain
Our outing was made much more
from the drive across coun-
try in company with Mr.. Horton.

We think not. The basic foundation
upon which every community is built i.
the action and decision of the individ
ual. They locate where they them
selves decide is best for them, and a
round them others associate, and il
| this way our community life is built
up.
/ We, therefore, repeat again that the
great pivot upon which the affairs OF
the world swing is individual respons;-
bility Each individual in every COM
munity is there because, in their opin-
ion, it suits them best, otherwise they
would leave and go to some other
place.
To build healthy and prosperous
community, as we'll as contented com
munity, money must circulate freely.
| It can only circulate according to the
desires of each individual. If the stores
were full of goods and no one wanted
to purchase them because large num-
Der of persons sent their money out of
town, the stores would soon close and
be "out at the knees" If those who
sent their money out of town to mail
order houses owned property in the
town, or were employed by the town
in any capacity, their property would
soon depreciate in value and, as we
stated before, they would be paying
the price" for their selfshness, which
would again prove that "there is a
price ticket on everything" You can
not do mean trick to anyone without
having to pay the price, and this is
just as true of every city, town or vii
lage.
Twenty-Five men sat at table and
it was discovered that they all owed
one another ten dollars apiece. The
first man handed his neighbor ten dol
lars and it was passed around, thus
paying debts amounting to two hun
dred and fifty dollars and the first
man received it back again. Let us
suppose that money was short in that
town, and the first man sent the ten
dollar bill away to mail order house,
how long do you think those debts
would be outstanding? The more that
money is kept circulating in the home
town the better chance every one has
to float his or her services, of their
merchandise, and they both mean the
same thing in the end. Money is only
accumulated industry, and everyone
can get some if they only work for it,
and the chief thing is to see that it
does not get cornered by one or two
huge monopolies, who can then control
labor.
If our country had many more small
prosperous towns instead OF so many
large cities, she would be immensely
better off. There are no slum sections
in the towns. To their credit, it can
be said that the townspeople look after
their poor. No man, woman or child
need starve while the townspeople have
bread. They know one another better
than do the people of large cities, as
they are nearer to each other. 1t has
been stated that our country today
could accomodate itself to several mil
lion more farmers and then have room
for many more. Does that not mean
much for the towns The first ques-
tion that prospective purchaser of
farm asks is, "How near is it to
town." Is that not a proper question
to ask? The town is the heart blood

"OWL VERDICT

The question as to whether several
owls which took up their abode in the
White House grounds should be per-

was appointed to settle the fate of
the owls the jury decided that the

pecial attention viii be given to ex-

lures of the opening day. A free bar

(From Wednesdays Daily Herald
Not less than five. perhaps more,

awarded Monday at the county agri-
cultural fair for the best community

whose fair will be staged Friday, and
Santa Fe, which closes the circuit

There are. three substantial prizes
offered, the best in the premium list
The first is SIS, the second SIS and
the other $40. The community club
and community exhibit idea has been
growing rapidly in recent years in
the county and County Agent Aber-
nathy is sanguine that the exhibits
this year will surpass anything of the
kind ever known in the annals OF the
county.
]. Humphrey Hardison, the well
known corn grower, who is superin-
tendent of the corn exhibit, is san
suine that he is going to have assem-
lbled together the best collection of
corn ever assembled in the county.
The boys corn club exhibits are sure
to attract attention, a big first prize
of SIS having been offered with $40
for the second prize The pig club

INCREASED DEMAND
FOR JERSEY CATTLE
THREE CAR LOADS HAVE BEEN
PURCHASED FOR SHIPMENT
ELSEWHERE RECENTLY.

An increasing demand for Maury
county grade Jersey COWS and heifers
is another sign of an Improvement in
conditions in tllis section of the state.
During the past week or two three
carloads of Maury county grade Jer-
seys have been purchased for ship
ment out of the county and there is a
buyer here now after another consign-
ment
For a while there was no. demand
for what has long been one of the
chief, products OF Maury county farms
but there has been.a decided improve
ment lately and while prices are still
regarded as low they are better than
the farmers~can obtain for any other
kind of stock that they place on the
market. A good Jersey milk COW will
BRING twice as much money on the
average as the same weight steer that
would be sold at this time.
The supply of cows and heifers is
not large as there has been a good
local demand all the times The deve-
lopment Of the dairy industry in the
county has created a big local demand
Tor Jerseys. This of course absorbs
many that formerly went elsewhere.

A big free barbecue will be one of
the outstanding features of the Santa
Fe community fair to be held Satur-
day on the school grounds.
Although Santa Fe is breaking into
the fair circuit with her first show this
season, it is believed that it will be
one of the very best community show
ings in the county.
The success of the fair seems absos
lutely assured, as many interests of
fine farm products will be made, and
an abundance of good free barbecue
will attract people from throughout
that entire section.
The people Of Santa Fe are planning
te bring the community exhibit to Co
lumbia next Monday to be shown in
the county fair.
Santa Fe now has one of the livest
community organizations in the state.
