ano. There are two sopranos and a
contralto and two of the company are
excellent readers The music is near

SILK SHIRTS AND JAZZ

Tom, Dick and Harry who year
and two years ago threw the barn
fork into the corner or left the pillow
in the field to seek fame and fortune
in the cities are doing some tall think
ing these days. Many of them are ac-
tually considering going back to
those tasks which they looked upon
with such contempt only a short time
ago. They have had their fling of
silk shirts and jazz. They have been
pleased on Saturday nights to find
their pay checks made out for a.
mounts of forty dollars and over, but
when they came to pay for their
board, their room rent, their washing
and all the other little items that were
accepted as a mater of course on the
farm, there was mighty little left. But
now the jobs are scarce and the pay
checks less.
1t is going to- be a little hard for
these fellows to pick up again the
routine of pulling teats, acting as
first butler to the dairy cows and GUS
todian of the curry-comb but they'll
do it and be glad of the opportunity,
unless all signs fail.
One thing about city life is that ex-
penses run on, regardless of whether
"a 5Ersca~f s4 a job. On the farm, if
cash runs low, there is the milk pail,
and the churn, the stock of canned
fruit and vegetables in the cellar and
the well filled potato bin, to which
access can always be obtained. In the
cities, an empty pocketbook soon re-
suits in an empty stomach and credit
is hard to obtain.
1t is very reasonable to assert that
many young men who year ago
were "too proud to farm" and who
now find themselves out of job and
unable to find work-and there are
thousands of them in every city
will be glad to peel off their now
somewhat worn silk shirts, forget the
jazz and settle down on farm at $35
to $40 month. That is they will do
it if they can find a farmer who is
financially able to pay the price

Forestry Conference
Records State Views
Would Sell Agricultural Land to
Farmers and Make State
Bear Equitable Tax on
State Land.

Twenty organizations representing
all parts of the state were in attend
ance at the forestry conference held
in Milwaukee Monday and Tuesday
of this week. The meetings perfected
a temporary organization and adopt
ed resolutions outlining plan for
the development of northern Wiscon-
sin and among other things took the
following stand in regard to the for
estry. land situation:
That the organization favors the
settlement by farmers of all agricult-
ural land now owned by the state.
That the state in some manner con-
tribute just aid in the burden of taxa
ton in proportion to the acreage of
state-owned land lying in the various
towns.
Northern Wisconsin was well rep
resented by Judge A. H. Reid of lWau-
sau; J. w. Jones and A. J. O'Melia of
Rhinelander, F. j. Smith of Merrill
and Geo. E. O'Connor of Eagle River.
Judge Reid was presiding officer of
the first days sessions. Mr.. O'Con-
nor was chosen chairman of the res
olutions committee and also member
of the executive committee.
A ]. O'Melia of Rhinelander gave
an excellent presentation of the sit
uation of northern Wisconsin show
ing the inequity of present conditions.
The conference was brought about
through the efforts of the Milwaukee
Journal in its forestry program. Con-
trary to some opinion there was no
expense attached to the gathering
that will have to be borne by the pub
lie All present paid their own ex-
penses, the gathering being arranged
merely to test the sentiment of the
various parts of the state in regard
to the forestry problem. 1t is doubt
full if any legislative acton will be
taken at this session.

Home Owners Not
Worried by Renting
Build Your Own Home and Be
Independent Building Con-
ditiOns Are Favorable
for 1t Now.

Getting down to facts and figures,
rents are running from $50 to $40 per
month in most localities for homes to
live in. The renter rarely can have
such changes and improvements as
he would like in his own home and if
the owner sees fit, the lease expires
at any time Figure the rent paid in
a year and see what it amounts to-,
and see what the rent will do toward
paying for home of your own. AS
it is. you have a lot of rent receipts
and the owner is the only gamer.
Fifty dollars month is $500 a
year, only five years to pay for a
house complete, labor and ALL After
it is once paid for, your home is your
own and no one can tell you to get
out should they find some one who
is willing to pay higher rent than
you.
Lumber and building material will
not long remain at the price it is to-
day for the whole country is after
new homes and when once the de-
mand is more than the production,
there is bound to be reaction and
prices will go higher Now is the
time to do your buying. Your dollar
buys more today than it has for the
past four years, and it will not be
long before it buy less than it does
now. Building material will proba-
bly, never reach pre-war prices, for
times have changed and nature can
not grow trees as fast as they are be-
ing cut.
You can always get your dealers
to figure out just what the material
for a house, barn or shed will cost,
but do not forget that the material is
not the only large item when it comes
to building. The labor end should be
considered just as carefully as that
is a big item.
Your friends may tell you that this
or that builder is higher with his costs
than another, but they may be preju-
diced and telling you something they
do not know Find out for yourself
and seez your dealers and then you
will actually gnow.
co into your dealers yards and see
what they have to sell, they will tell
you what to buy and what will look
and wear the best as they are in that
game just as you are in the store,
Office or on the farm.
Buying out of your district may be
all well and good but your home
dealers are lower than most out of
town houses when everything is con-
sidered. You see their goods, you get
all you need and whatever you do not
use, you need not keep. When you
buy from outside dealers that cannot
be done, and if you run short of a few
pieces it is rather embarrassing to go
to the home yard for it. Most dealers
will duplicate any and all prices made
by mail order houses, and you get
any grade you wish and see it before
hand
Have you consulted with your home
dealer on the kind of home that you
want to build, if not get busy and see
him and find out what a home will
really cost. Hearsay information
counts for little in that respect, in
fact, the advice of Priscilla, "Why
don't you speak for yourself John ?"
is good way to find out whether or
not you can afford to build this year

Hayward's Philosophy
The Imitators.
by E. F. Hayward. Conover. Wis,

The Imitators.
Do you realize how much depends
On all you say and do?
You have host of unknown friends
Who'll pattern after you.
They weigh your words and watcl
your acts,
Then try and do the same,
They follow meekly in your tracks,
To infamy, or fame.
You little know how many eyes
Are watching you each day,
Which never stop to criticize,
But initiate your way.
So live, that you can proudly say,
II wish the world to see
The friends met along the way,
Who patterned after me-
