NEW FARMS

Again Wisconsin achieves fame
this time as a leader in the creation
of new farms with census record in
ten years Of no fewer than 10000 adj
ditional farms, while every other
middle western state actually showed
a decline
But the record is even stronger.
During the ten-year period, Wiscon-
sin added 10000 new farms out OF
only $4,000 for the whole country.
Wisconsin therefore actually made
one-eighth of all the new farms in the
last ten years.
This is the sober, solid fact report
ed by the United States census.
While the great social currents have
been away from the farm toward the
city, Wisconsin has had wholesome
tide going the other way-out into the
woods and fields. Trees have been
felled, stumps have been grubbed,
pastures have been brushed, farm
buildings and fences have been built
Farms have literally been carved out
of the wilderness. Men have not
quailed at task which tries the
strongest
Who created the sentiment for clear
ing up new farms? Who is responsible
for the movement? Probably the col
lege Of agriculture more than any
other single agency. The stump trains
which have crisscrossed the upper
counties, the many meetings for stud
ying stump problems, the contests fol-
the county showing the greatest area
cleared, all of these broadside attacks
on the stump problem by the univer
sity farm experts, have undoubtedly
helped much Then, too, leaders in
each county, urging clearing and help
ing clearing, deserve praise for thei1
energy and efficiency.
While the farms of other centra
western states, Iowa for example
grow smaller in number, Wisconsin is
creating more and more of them. An(
there is still room for 100000 new
| settlers on several millions of acre!
of wild lands, those suitable for agri
culture, in the upper state.

Physical Education

The draft statistics revealed a con-
dition of physical defects, widely dis
tributed among every economic and
social group of our people that is in
imical not only to our military effic-
iency but to our social and economic
efficiency These statistics have be-
come trite by repetition But we
must not tire of the repetition until
remedial ana constructive measures
have wiped out the condition While
a nation or state cannot be great by
mere physical strength, the finest
achievement of a moral civilization is
based on a sound physical or biologi-
cal foundation.
If we would safeguard the FUTURE
we must provide now for a compre-
hensive and systematic plan of physi-
cal education in the public schools
This plan should include
/. Definite provision for physical
education in the courses Of study of
each of our elementary, high, voca-
tional and teachers training schools.
and in the Institutions of higher learn
ing.
2, Provision for regular medical in
spection of school children and stu
dents in all public schools.
g. Provision of medical and dental
treatment for school children.
8. Provision for special school nurs-
es in rural and urban schools, ade-
quate to meet the respective situa-
tions.
5. Provision for athletics that will
aim in all schools to reach the entire
student body, and the subordination
of spectacular contests between the
schools highly trained for this end
6. Provision of ample playground
and other recreation facilities either
in schools or in close proximity to
them, and the provision for future
facilities by means of intelligent city
and village planning now.
Z. Cooperation of the several teach
er-training agencies Of the state with
the state authorities in formulating
"a adequate courses of study for ele-
mentary and high schools; ca stand
ards for the certiication of teachers
and go the best means of training
teachers in service

Hayward's Philosophy
" EFF. HAYWARD. Conoyer, Y

How Much Are You Worth?
Supposing today was your last day on
earth,
The last mile of your journey you've
trod.
After all of your struggles, how much
are you worth,
How much can you take home to
God?
Don't count as possessions, your
silver and gold,
For tomorrow you leave these behind,
And all that is yours to have and to
hold,
Are the blessings you've given
mankind.
Now what have you done, as you
journeyed along,
That was really and truly worth
while?
Do you feel that your good deeds
would Offset the wrong?
Could you look over your life with a
smile?
We are only sppposing. but if it were
real,
And you Sinvoiced your deeds since
your birth,
And you figure the profit you've made
in LIES deal,
How much are you really worth?

Development Bodies
Talk demonstration
Statewide Agitation on Foot to
Conserve Natural Resources
for Future Generations
Good Meeting

To work for a broader and more
comprehensive development of the
state of Wisconsin.
To see that all natural resources of
! the state are better protected.
Through conservation and plant
ing of trees to enhance the beauty
and attractiveness of all lakes and
streams and roadsides.
To encourage REPRESENTATION on all
lands suitable for the purpose.
To reduce fire hazard and other
waste in logging and manufacture of
lumber.
To open for settlement all wild
lands adapted to agriculture
In the case of state owned lands,
to make provision whereby said
lands will pay their share of the
necessary public improvements to be
made by county or town
That is, in brief, a program ap-
proved Monday in Rhinelander by
the development associations of that
city and Eagle River and the one for
which a dozen of the largest BUSH
ness organizations of the state will
be asked to issue a call for another
meeting of such interests in the near
future, for the purpose of drafting a
bill to be presented to the legislature
as necessary for the future welfare of
the entire state
Henry G. Campbell Of the Milwau-
kee Journal had been invited to talk
to the men of Rhinelander along the
lines mentioned and of which the
Journal is entitled to credit as the
chief promoter.
A delegation from Eagle River at
tended and was much impressed with
his sincerity of purpose and had the
pl assure of meeting him in confer
ence of the two development associa-
tions and hearing his address at a
well attended meeting in the evening
It was very evident that sentiment
was in sympathy with such a pro-
gram and Mr.. Campbell must have
returned home with a feeling that
the activity Of the Journal in the
matter had been well received in the
-quask1a' sisereShe might have reason
ably looked for some opposition. 1t
is evident from the many letters 60
that paper from all over the state,
that the idea is taking strong root
everywhere, and when the bill is in
troduced for legislative approval and
support it will be pretty sure to find
a large number of friends there.

Boy Scout Work is
| Now Fully Organized
Governing Board, Scout Execu
tive and ScOutmaster are
Elected-Open to All
Boys Over Ii

Further details in the organization
Of the Boy Scout movement in Eagle
River were completed when the com
mittee of thirty-one, chosen for or
ganization purposes a week ago, met
at the high school Sunday afternoon
and elected a governing board, scout
commissioner and scoutmaster
The meeting was comprised Of rep
resentative men of the town who
have the welfare of the boys atheart
and who realize in the Boy Scout
movement, a splendid chance to do
something for the boys at an age
when they receive Impressions and
form habits that influence their later
lives.
The governing board is composed
OF the following five members:
Ed Giese
P. ]. Gaffney
S. w. Smith
Frank Hall
B. F. Strong :.
This board is the chief governing
body of all activities of the scout
troop. Financial affairs, appointment
of officers to work with the boys, and
a general overseeing of all the scout
work, form the main part of their
duties
Amos Radcliffe was elected scout
commissioner and Principal H e.
Marshall was made scoutmaster with
Walter Gander Jr. as assistant
With this organization completed
work will soon be nicely started with
the boys of Eagle River and they will
have scout troop duly formed in ac-
cordance with the requirements Of
national headquarters.
The Boy Scout movement is one
deserving of all support from the cit
liens Of the community. It is an eff
fort to provide healthy, active recre-
alton for the boys. The organization
is open to all boys, regardless Of
creed or belief What they learn as
scouts in no way conflicts with all
that is good and helpful in the de-
velopment of proper manhood, and
for that reason the newly formed or
.ganizatiaN wants to see every boy in
Eagle RIVER a member of the troop.
A troop is made up of patrols and
each patrol leader is lad chosen for
the position by reason of his ability
to assume natural leadership over
his companions. The scout manual
provides for the proper education of
boys in mental, physical and moral
directions. It's chief aim is to make
useful citizens and the success Of the
movement proves it is accomplishing
that purpose.

ANNUAL ROAD SCHOOL

The tenth annual road school will

the Wisconsin highway commission
has reported It is proposed to make
the school mere representative and
more helpful than ever before, the
commission announced Among the
subjects upon which papers will be
read and discussion held are patrol
maintenance, administration, construc-
zion, contractual relations, county or
ganization, current problems and an
nual legislation

booze which made him drunk. The
fact that men in public offices get
drunk should not excuse anyone.
Sometimes an ignorant person is
made the goat for the escape OF
others. Very often the person guilty
is one whom we do not want to
suffer; we will not make complaint
against him and say "let George do
it, and George" does not do it and a
duty to the community and country
is left undone But in such case the
information should be given to the
officers of the law and they bring
about it's prosecution. May this be a
warning to would-be drinkers and sell
lers of liquor We want clean COM
munity to live in.

NATION High Won
from Eagle River
Local Basketeers Did Not Show
Up in Usual FOrm-Was
Swift Game from Start
to Finish

Nation High won from Eagle High
at the opera house last Friday evening
in game of basketball that was as
fast as anything ever seen on the
home floor. The final score was % to
10.
At the end of the first quarter the
score was 2 to in Mattoon's favor
and from then on the visitors scored
steadily while the locals seemed I'M
able to find the basket. In the second
quarterMattoon made six more points
to Eagles two In the third they add
ed another six, while the locals could
only gather in another two. But in the
last the teams played more even
game. NATION made eight in that
period to Eagles six, which left the
score at % to 10.
Mattoon has an exceptionally strong
team this year and they play well to-
gether. Their team work and the adj
vantage of bigger and heavier men
were one of the chief factors in Win
ming. But Eagle did not play the game
it is capable of putting up, judging
from past exhibitions. Against Minoc-
qua and Birnamwood, where they wOn,.
they played much better game,
shooting baskets consistently and dis
playing team work that was lacking in
their meet with Mattoon. Luck seemed
to be against the home team. In the
first half they played in Mattoon $
territory most of the time, and had
perhaps dozen chances at the basket
that should have been point Makers
but it apparently wasn't to be done,
and a lone shot was all that they
could cage in that period.
And it was the same with Eagles
team work They have team work, as
has been shown in their previous
games, but is was not working Friday
night for some reason. Guess it must
have been an off day for the boys.
But that does not detract from Mat
toon's victory. They won by hard play
ing and proved themselves the better
team.
We look for different game when
the two teams meet again. The locals
are capable of giving NATION much
better run for the game than they did
Friday night, and knowing the visi-
tors style of playing will help them
a lot when they meet again on Mat
toon's floor in a few weeks. Mattoon
has strong record with downstate
teams this season and if we can break
even with them, it can be considered a
creditable showing for the home boys.

teams mixed in another exciting game
of volIey ball as preliminaries to the
big game. The band was there with
plenty of music to keep up the spirit
of the evening. Following the games
the Mattoon boys were entertained at
a social dance.
Eagle River left for Crandon this
morning to meet the high school team
of that place tonight. That is going to
be another swift game because the
teams are about evenly matched.
