NO (?) UNEMPLOYED
IN THIS CITY!i

An article in the local daily for
Wednesday states that there is NJ
unemployment in this city Now
somebody has been telling US what is
not true, or else the article is bunk =
I know one man who applied for a
job at the swimming pool when the
city advertised for ten men while the
work there was being done. The man
in charge of the work told him that
one hundred men had applied fol
work there during the first two days
the advertisement ran in the paper
His words were: There's ten mer
for every job The man who told
me this as his actual experience has
since found work in another city and
left here more than a week ago.
Another man went into a certain
business place on the West Side few
days ago, he says, and asked for
work, and was told, "My God, no; if
we hired every man that comes to US,
we'd have an army
Now possibly the statements Civ
len above are somewhat exaggerated
but they are certainly no more dis
torted in one way than the article re-
ferred to was in the other.
People who are prepared to do re-
lief work for unemployed, and are de-
sirous of doing it, should face the ac-
tual fact that there IS going to be
an unemployment problem to solve ir
THIS CITY before very long. They
should certainly NOT be put off thei
guard by such anWarranted state
ments as those carried IN the dali!
on Wednesday.

Would Avert Human Doom

A great problem that has never
been solved by any people is how to
prevent civilization from bearing it's
natural fruit of human deterioration.
This deterioration is easily traced to
the fact that those who are highly
endowed by nature do not usually
rear large families while those of low
attainments and capacities are proli-
fle. 1t follows that low types gradu-
ally displace the higher with the re-
suit that society eventually crumbles
and decays.
Major Leonard Darwin, whose faith
er, Charles Darwin, wrote the "Des-
cent of Man." offered a solution few
days ago in an> address delivered in
New York. He suggested the steri-
ilization of criminals, wastrels and
'work-shy" people by means of the
A-ray, and at the same time a patri-
otic campaign to induce the sound and
fit to rear large families. So he would
escape the doom that has overtaken
other civilizations in the past.

WOmanhOod in the Balance

Between the fine, wholesome views
IF Lady Astor and those of some of
Dur erring sisters, there seems to be
great gulf fixed
The truth is becoming clear that
woman in her new-found freedom, is
showing a grievous tendency to carry
it to the point where liberty passes
into license. Of course, she will not
be the first to do this, for history
Iells US that virtually every newly
liberated group, in the first flush of
its freedom, has committed many ex-
eesses. We see this tendency on the
part of Foreigners in our midst, who
seem to imagine that in our wonder.
full land of freedom they may do what
they please without any limit what
ever. However, neither history nor
anything else will excuse American
womanhood in the eyes of mankind
for voluntary descent into depraved
md vicious ways
All good women may sincerely la
nent the fact that SO many of their
sex seem to be falling into vices in
which only men nave indulged in
times past. For too many are un.
1uestionably drinking, gambling.
smoking and otherwise lowering the
standards of womanly conduct which
we have adhered to in times gone by.

A Woman's Vision

For those who are not able to see
:learly the part that woman is to
,lay in shaping human affairs here
.fter, there is help in the recently
expressed views of Lady Astor, the
only woman member of the British
Parliament. AS she sees it, a new set
# ideals, which shall constitute re-
ming and purifying influence in pub
ic affairs, is to be brought in by wo-
man. They are the high, pure ideals
which we have accepted as the stand
lrds of our own home lives in the
oast. AS Lady Astor puts it:
81 am certain that if women can
.eally take into public life the quail
ties which they have on the whole
ried to live up to in private life,
without being self-righteous or i'm
patient, men will welcome them as
omrades as generously as they did
during the war"
Lady Astor insists further that on
Y by whole-hearted cooperation be-
tween the sexes can the great work
Which lies next ahead of mankind be
'arried through. In her own words:
"The important problem before US
7oday is to put into practice the ideals
f service, of comradeship, and of
better world. This can not be done
oy men alone, or by women alone, but
5y the joint efforts of both"

AN AGE:
Of THRILLS

Consider that two newspapers are
before you.
The headings to the news articles
or the first page of one paper are
modest.
a sensational "scarehead" in big
t7pe stretches across the first page of
the other paper.
Which one will you read first?
Nine people out of ten will make a
dive for the sensational sheet, be-
cause there is a chance for a thrill
They may question the accuracy of
it's statements, but they will read it.
That is a condition which faces the
newspaper field today-a condition
which the country press is combat
ting daily at a financial sacrifice
This is an age of thrills, and the
public demands to be thrilled, espe-
cially in the large centers of popula-
ton. If the editor doesn't come across
with his thrills the people do not
come across with their money
Take the Fatty Arbuckle case.
The legitimate news element in
that unsavory mess could have been
contained in column article. In
stead the daily press devoted page
after page to it, dwelling at length
upon every little insignificant detail
and incident. Nothing was omitted
1t was indecent, therefore it was
thrilling and in demand.
A rich man and his wife returned
from Europe. They were estranged
Immediately the fact was spread
over the first page Of their home pa
pers, and columns were devoted to a
vulgar display of their unhappiness.
Why? Not because the editor glo-
ries in that sort of thing especially.
He knows it is the kind of stuff the
people of his city want. 1t is the
stuff that sells his papers. It is nau-
seating, deba sing, therefore thrilling
and in demand.
The poor devil of a city editor is
not entirely to blame for this con
dition. He depends upon his salary
to feed his family and his salary is
forthcoming only so long as he makes
good on his job. If he doesn't kick
in with the stuff he is kicked out in
to the street.
The local country paper does not
resort to such practices. 1t would
not be tolerated in a small communi-
ty such as ours, especially if it re-
ferred to our own people.
Then, too, our local people, or many
of them, may read the thrillers con-
cerning other people in other commu-
mites, but they are not properly edu-
Gated down to the point of dragging
their own relatives and friends thru
the mire of sensational publicity.
It is an age of thrills, but our own
must be exempt.
Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1921-10-13

The citizens of Wisconsin Rapids
were surprised Tuesday morning. Oc-
tober IL, to learn that a great fira
had occurred that morning and that
the paint store of F. S. Gill & Son,
the printing plant of Gilbert Helm.
and the general store of j. Stoller.
were completely destroyed by fire.
About one o'clock Tuesday morning,
while Gerard Kaudy and two COM
panions were returning home, they
saw smoke oozing out from the caves
or cornice of the store building of j.
Stoller and F. S. Gill & Son, facing
on Second street. They Immediately
went to the fire house and gave the
alarm. Then they returned to the
fire. Fire Chief Miller stated that
when he arrived on the scene at about
1:30 A. NJ, he went to the back of the
Stoller store and made an entrance
into the basement when volumes of
smoke poured out. The men with the
hose entered the basement this way
and poured water upon the fire. While
this was being done, other fremen
were stringing hose from three other
points of vantage. The occupants of
the building over the printing office
were aroused and escaped from their
apartments with only their wearing
apparel. Right after this, several ex-
ploslons occurred, spreading the
James to all parts of the buildings.
and increasing the intensity of the
fire. The fire had such a start before
it was discovered that it was impos-
slble to enter any one of the three
buildings to save any of their con-
tents. Mr.. Gill secured his books,
and that was all. The loss was total.
While the buildings were burning,
the heat was SO intense on the Oak
street side that nearly all the win
low lights on the opposite side of the
street, in the DAILY block were broken

Their efforts kept the adjoining prop

block owned by Mr.. Comings was

hat the interior walls were cracked

The loss was only partially covered

MORGANS VISIT
OLD Home
(From the Elroy Tribune)


Last Saturday, Oct. 2, George Nor
gan, with his Ford, accompanied by
T. w. Morgan, Marian and Tom and
Miss Mae Sherwood, made trip to
Wisconsin Rapids, stopping just this
side of the Rapids for picnic dinner
on the site of the boyhood home of
Mr. Morgan. It was on this place,
known there as the Morgan Inn" !"
that George spent his boyhood days,
leaving there when about II years of
age.
After lunch the party drove to Wis
consin Rapids and met the smiling
face of the genial Mr.. Geo. Wood
who was a boyhood chum and COM
panion of Geo. Morgan. Mr.. Wood
piloted the party around the beauti-
ful city, and finally drove to the home
of Mr.. NJ. Fl. Lynn, another boyhcod
chun and playmate Of the Morgans.
The way these good -natured picn
eer citizens of the Rapids hugged
each other in the way of hugging was
sure good to see.
Mr.. Wood is a very entertaining
man, and he certainly gave the party
a most enjoyable visit in that city.
The citizens of Wisconsin Rapids are
very proud of their beautiful city,
and with such boosters as Mr.. Wood
and Mr.. Lynn they have right to be.

Our Gathering Doubts

The momentous conference for the
limitation of ornaments which is sool
to be held at Washington, brings US
face to face with the doubtful ques-
ton of applying one of our long-cher-
lshed notions under practical condi-
tions.
Should meeting of this sort. in
which the vital interests of great ma
tlons are at stake, be conducted in
secret or openly?
AS people We are committed to
the doctrine of 'open covenants op-
enly arrived at" Yet it is becoming
clear that there are certain delicate
International questions in which pub
.icity is really a source of very great
Danger. This is true because people
with sinister motives, of whom there
are always very many, can and do use
the knowledge given out to incite IL
ternational distrust, hatred and
strife.

RETURN TO LIFE
AFTER FEATHERS ARE GONE

Dewart, Pa.-Mrs Charles Reick-
enbach of Dewart has had an unusual
experience. In the cellar of the
Reichenbach home reposed barrel of
cider to which had been added a guam
tity of rye by some unknown person
The contents of the barrel were emp
tied at length, whereupon Mrs Reich
enbach also washed the rye from the
barrel.
Prided on the Reichenbach farm
was flock Of turkeys. The turkeys
found the rye washed from the cider
barrel, ate it and became paralyzed.
Mrs. Reichenbach found them lying
on the lawn. She agreed the profits
she hoped to realize from the sale of
the turkeys was gone, but decided to
compromise her loss by at least sal
vaging the feathers. She plucked
the feathers dry from the pros
strate turkeys and when the men
came in from the fields in the even
ing, she told them to prepare to bury
the dead turkeys.
The interment was postponed until
the next day. The dismay of the
Reichenbaehs was general the follow
ing morning when they beheld their
flock of turkeys trotting around the
premises with nothing on but their
pin feathers. Mrs. Reichenbach and
her daughters have since made blan-
kets for the plucked flock and the
birds appear to like their strange and
very short fall garments.
