Getting Back to the
Old Pre-war Figures
The Farmer Has Done It-His
Profits Have Been Wiped
Out by Falling Markets
In Past Year

Nearly everybody is having some
thing to say about what ought to be
done to bring this country back to
normal It is invariably the case
however, that such remarks apply
only to the other fellow
Many people are of the opinion
that prices should return to the pre-
war level, but it is doubtful if they
ever will. Certainly it can never be
done without literal invoking of
the law of supply and demand, and
that is something the spectators will
Illustrate at all hazards.
The manufacturer, having gorged
himself on huge profits, will never
again be satisfied with modest ones.
He viii eventually come down con-
;iderably, a few penaies at time,
but it win be herculean task to
move him at all.
The labor unions are putting up a
tremendous fight against any mater
al reduction in wages, although it
is generally conceded that as long as
the price of labor remains up there
can be no great reduction elsewhere.
The stakeholder wants big dividends
n order to meet high living costs.
The same applies to the merchant
and his profits, and to the doctor and
the lawyer and the undertaken and
their fees.
In every line you meet the same
conditions Nobody feels that he can
afford to reduce his own prices UNI
til there has been a corresponding
reduction in the articles he is forced
to buy.
Who then, is to make the start?
The farmer has done it. His prof
its have been about wiped out by a
falling market on farm products. be-
cause he is compelled to continue
that he uses.
The great trouble is, that the rest Of
the country is not following the far
mer in the downward trend. If it
were to do so, we would be back to
something approaching normal in a
hurry.
Congress apparently is unable to
solve the problem, and if congress is
impotent we of this community can
not be expected to waste our time in
beating against an impossible barrier.
There is, however, one thing that
we can do. That is to go to work and
stay at work and do more work and
less talking.
We can regulate our own actions,
and if those actions are along the
lines Of increased activity and pro-
ductivity we will be doing our share
toward bringing the country back to
normal whatever normal may be-.

The Seasons
syE. T. Hayward, conover, Wis.

/ love to watch the seasons change,
AS summer takes the throne from
spring;
So wonderful, sublime and strange,
Each one its special blessings brng.
it seems each one in turn is best
Is gifted with some special grace;
Yet summer fades as have the rest,
And Autumn boldly takes it's place.
This of the four l hold most dear,
Would be content to have it stay;
But winter comes to close the year,
And Autumn scenes must pass away.
Just SO our lives; our childhood days
Are filled with joy that's ne'er forgot;
And he is wise who simply says
II love them all"-and murmurs not.

Springtime Cleanup
Campaign is Now On
Nineteen Twenty-one Will BE A
Prosperous Year for Eagle
River-New Buildings
in Prospect

This section got it's first real taste
of spring weather this week. Starting
Sunday, every day has been warm and
mild, bringing the frost out of the
ground and giving the town a sum-
merry aspect in every way. And with
the advent of real spring weather
comes the general cleanup period.
Citizens who do not lack civic pride
are cleaning up their yards and alleys
and the winters accumulation OF rub
bish is ready for its annual spring dis
posal. Ash heaps are disappearing
and lawns are being made ready for
the first good shower that will start
the grass.
Eagle River looks forward to
prosperous season. Building activities
have commenced and before the sum-
mer is over several new residences
will be up and occupied. Several
property owners are remodeling and
village real estate is changing hands
in the spring campaign of progress.
That is the need of Eagle River at
present; new buildings, old ones re
modelled and made habitable and
liberal application of paint. Paint
covers up a multitude of sins, espec-
tally in a town where there are many
buildings of ancient age. Nothing I'M
proves the looks of any town SO much
as a coat of paint Every property
owner should realize the necessity of
keeping his buildings well painted
and in good repair. 1t brings a two
fold benefit by keeping the market
value of his property at the highest
figure and adding to the general ap-
pearance of the town Weather beat
en- buildings are an eyesore to every
one. A coat of paint will work won
ders on such places. Plan to paint
up this spring and do your share in
improving the looks Of the town.
The home building and home buy
ing instinct is so real a part of life
that it comes blossoming out every
spring. The birds are about to build
their homes again and everywhere,
in city, town and countryside the
native desire for those of us who
make the human kingdom what it is
is for a place OF perfAanssiA abide.

Of the feathery tribes are coming to-

process of re-establishing themselves
in the comfortable little holes in the
trees or elsewhere which have come
to be regarded as homes. Mans
finer sensibilties crave for the shelter
of a home an owned home which,
of, course, is mans palace.
The real estate men are telling us
once more that the time for building
is here. Those of us who have dream
ed dreams along this line do not have
to wait on the realty men to tell us,
for dreams of home always awaken
fresh with spring. Yet we commend
the realty men for their thoughtful-
ness, since every home they persuade
a man to build means that much more
toward the general prosperity of the
community.

THE ONLY WAY

Now and then we are reminded of
the old Indian who heard that his
white brother gained much comfort
from sleeping on feathers, and who
one night secured single feather,
slept on that one feather all night,
and arose in the morning to declare
that the white man was a confirmed
fool
Sleeping on single feather and
expecting to, be comfortable is about
like. putting one ad in a newspaper
and expecting to get rich. You've

a bed, and you've got to run several
ads to build up business. The mer-
chant who feels the pulling power of
advertising will tell you that spas
modic advertising seldom pays. You
have got to- keep hammering it into
the heads of the people you want to
sell to that you have what they want
and at the price that will satisfy them.
The makers of Pears soap advertised
for fifty years and few years ago
they stopped advertising and tried
to live on their reputation. 1t took
only few years for them to see that
the soap men who were advertising
were putting them out of business,
and they started advertising again
before it was toe late. There is only
one way to advertise and that is
regularly and Systematically
If yon loot your little tooter, then
lay away your horn
Within week there's not soul
who'll know that you are born.
The man who advertises by short and
and sudden jerks
Is the man who's always kicking be-
cause it never works.
The fellow who is on the job, a-hump-
ing every day,
And keeps forever at it is the one
who makes it pay. Exchange.
