1876 DEER KILLED;

Madison--Despite forecasts that
there was shortage of deer in Wis
consln, reports to the state conserva
ton commission show that 1876
bucks were killed in the ten days in
November that comprised the open
season.
This number is slightly in excess of
the number killed last year. An inter
estlng fact is brought out by the COM
mission in its report concerning the
number of does and faw1i killed by
accident, when mistaken for bucks.
Last year there were. more than fifty
does and fawns killed by hunters. This
year the number is only six.
More than double the number of
deer licenses We're sold this year as
against 1920. Last year there were
about $4,000 deer tags sold. This year
the number was $4,000.

PROBLEMS OF

A Talk With Our Wives, Mothers,
and Sisters
One of Woman's New Visions

One of Woman's New Visions
How large a part does education
play in shaping the lives and charac-
tiers of children. By the term education
is meant here all the training that
the children receive whether it be CIV
en- in the schoolroom, in the home, or
on the street corner.
Instantly, we would be ready to say
that this training plays a very large
part in determining what our children
are to become. AS we think it over,
we might even come to the conclusion
that education has greater influence
than any other agency in shaping the
lives and determining the destinies of
the young. And finally the conviction
might come to us that education is
the sole, decisive force, or influence
IN determining % what manner of
men and women our children are to
become, and (2) what sort of a ma
ton ours shall be in the years that are
ahead.
1t seems true that education actu-
ally has the power over the lives of
men and nations stated above. By
education, children may be made what
ever we would have them to be. There
seems to be virtually no limit to this.
1t perfect system of education could
be devised, mankind would probably
attain the perfection for which we are
longing. Cur defects may be traced
to faults in our education and it is
as clear that by a different type of
education, all could be avoided.
This vision of the unlimited posi-
bilities of education has obtained the
mastery of women's thoughts within
the past year Or two Women are
seeing in it the one sure way to ac-

THE HANDY
NEIGHBOR-
HOOD STORE

No matter how close you live to the
heart of a big city, it is to your best
interests to trade with your neighbor-
hood merchants as much as possible.
The section of the city or the sub
urb in which you have made your
home won't thrive and improve unless
the merchants there are given fair
deal.
Buying your wants in the city or
from mail-order house, instead of
boosting business in your part Of the
town is direct blow to your personal
welfare
Since the patriotic cash and carry
system is being adopted by the diff
ferent merchants throughout the coun-
try, we can appreciate all the more
the neighborhood store.

FARM COLONIES

State Historical Society of Wiscon-

well known that people of the Badger
State are to be found scattered all
over the grea northwest, but the
commonly observed movement of en-

dividuals, families, and groups of re-

find relic of a different type of

which comes to the State Historical
Society in the form of printed con-
stitution or articles of association"
Of the Northwestern Colony of Asso-

January 9, 1882. The object was to
procure lands gin new country where
lands are cheap, to secure the settle

such persons of limited means, or 9TH
erwise, as desire to emigrate to the
west; TO secure the immediate advan-
tages of churches, schoolhouses and
other institutions; to reduce expense
of individual exploration; to obtain
contracts with railroad companies for
reduced rates of fare and transporta-
ton for members"
This attractive plan was offered,
and a locating committee of three
members chosen. The lands selected
for town site were to be held by a
board of commits sioners Gin trust for
the whole colony" the farming lands
were to be justly apportioned by the

FARMER SUFFERS


The prices of farm products are
down, close to the 1914 level. That
would be fine if other commodities
were down in proportion.
But high wages still prevail in the
cities in all lines. This means thai
the manufacturer ard wholesaler
must continue to charge the country
merchant high prices for his goods
The country merchant must in turn
charge the farmer in proportion to
what he himself pays. to the manu-
facturer or wholesaler.
Very simple and easily understood,
but anything but satisfactory to the
