NOBODY
v ORRIES

We have but recently passed thru
a war that tried the souls Of the uni
verse and practically bankrupted half
of the world.
But nobody worries in this coun-
try.
We paid out billions of dollars in
upholding our army and navy and
stand to lose billions more that we
loaned to our allies.
But nobody worries.
We are only beginning to emerge
from a period of business stagnation
that would have rocked any other ma
tion to its foundation.
But nobody worries.
Hundreds of thousands of our citi-
zens have had to be clothed and fed
and housed by their friends or by
charity because there was no employ
ment for them.
But nobody worries
Taxes are high and expenses are
heavy and everywhere it is a contin-
ual drain upon the resources of the
people.
But nobody worries.
We see war clouds constantly how
ering over Europe, with apprehension
rife in the breasts of the world lest
the fires Of hatred again break out
and engulf the universe.
| But nobody worries.
We see our army reduced to bleach
ed skeleton and our navy but dot
upon the waters.
But nobody worries.
We see the incessant and bitter fight
between labor and capital raging with
unabated fury, hampering construc-
tion, retarding progress, and raising
periodical hell from one end of the
country to the other.
But nobody worries.

THREATEN
LEGAL ACTION

Possibilities of legal action by Dan
Meszhrp of Springville as result of
the collision Sunday evening between
the Essex touring car driven by Don
johnson of this city and Meszhrp's
Ford sedan were discounted Wednes-
day by Mr.. Johnson.
Meszhrp, it is said, ALLEGES that
Johnson was driving on the wrong
side of the road when the clash occur
red, and has threatened to bring suit
for damages. Johnson asserts that the
accident happened as Meszhrp was
turning across the road into the drive
way to his home at Springville, and
that photographs and other evidence
that he has taken at the spot are suf-
ficient to prove that he was not re-
sponsible for the collision.
Leon Laramie of this city, who was
passenger in the Johnson car, is
now in the Riverview hospital, where
it's stated that is injuries will not
prove serious. He was badly cut a.
bout the head. Roy Meunier, the
other occupant of the car, is suffering
from a bruised knee.

We see political battles fought with
a degree of ferocity that would shame
cage Of Bengal tigers.
But nobody worries.
We see royalty dethroned and re-
duced to poverty, governments crumb-
ling from decay, millions dying from
starvation IN other lands and whole
peoples gradually descending to the
savagery of the beasts of prey.
But nobody worries.
And amidst all of this scrambling
of the peoples and of the affairs of the
world, why do the people of the United
States possess the moral and physical
courage to refrain from worry?
Because we are a God fearing and
a God believing people.
Because we are republic founded
upon the tenets of justice and right,
with firm and abiding faith that in
the end right will prevail and justice
will be done
Because we are people who have
unbounded confidence in the stability
Of our government, regardless of the
political complexion of the party that
may be in power from year to year.
Because we prefer to do the things
that work for success and happiness
and let other people do the worrying
that saps the vitality of life.
Why worry, anyway?

MOTORISTS
ARE WARNED
POLICE CHIEF

Wisconsin Rapids motorists who
have not put on their new 1922 auto
mobile license tags are warned by
Chief of Police R. S. Payne that all
offenders will be prosecuted under the
state law for failure to put on new
licenses.
''There are good many car owners
who have their licenses but have never
stopped to put them on the cars. The
department has been lenient so far
but we will insist now on the new
plates as inspectors from the state
might come in at any time to check
up"
Speeders in the vicinity of the
schools as well as throughout the city
were also included in the chiefs warm
ing.

The Postmaster has just completed
an inspection tour of the eight R. T.
ID. Routes issuing from the Wisconsin
Rapids post office. Four lead out on
the east side of the Wisconsin River
and four on the west side. The entire
length of the shortest route is % miles
and that of the longest is 291a miles
The smallest number of families serv-
ed on route number eight is 116,
while the largest number of families
served on Route No. Two is 218. The
other SIX routes serve number rang
ing between these figures.
on some of these routes the boxes
are in splendid condition while ON 9TH
ers they are not in serviceable condi-
tion. These conditions have been re-
ported to headquarters. In many in
stances the roads need turnpiking and
grading and the Postmaster will pro-
bably receive notice from the Depart
ment to have them properly repaired.
AS result of this inspection we
have asked for two more r. F. D's one
on the east side and one on the west
side of the Wisconsin river. The grant
ing of this request will depend on the
action of the Department. There are
plenty of patrons who want service
to add these two routes and then some.
We found some families going three
miles to boxes on the present routes.
These should have better services and
we believe the Department will grant
the peoples request.
In connection with the Rural Route
improvements We can see how there is
great need of two more city carriers
as there are now hundreds of families
who are neither served by either the
City Carriers or r. F. d. service.
These patrons are obliged to come to
the General Delivery window at the
post office for their mail.

CITY PAVING
PROGRAM

The city of Wisconsin Rapids should
meet the rural districts in connecting
up the leading streets with concrete
roads. Especially is this true on the
roads leading to Port Edwards, Seneca
Corners, Sigel, Biron and Meehan.
These streets with the short piece on
Vine street should be completed with
in our city limits. While making our
rural inspection trips the past two
weeks our attention was called to
these streets and they are very much
IN need of these connecting links. Wis

THE BUSINESS SIDE OF
OF FARMING.

By 7. F. Peck, Commissioner Of Agriculture.
For the farmer who selects a
definite line of farming and ad-
heres to it right along through
lean as we'll as through fat
years. there will be decidedly
more prosperity than for one
who is constantly changing to
the crop or kind of live stock
that happens at the time to be
commencing the best prices.
The farmer who has a fixed
and definite program and sticks
to it will have something to sell
when when the market is favor
able, while the one who is con.
stantly changing will more often
find that when he is ready to
put products on the market it is
already overstocked, with a coli.
sequent lowering of prices.
At the present time every
thing indicates profitable prices
for hogs during abe present
year. But the natural increase
of hogs is rapib, and by the
time the fall 1923 is here it is
possible to overstock, and that
will mean a reduction in prices.
l have found it a good policy
to stock up on certain kinds of
live stock when there was a
tendency among farmers in gen.
eral to get out of that line of
production. By the time young
stock bought under such condi-
tions are ready for the market,
the prices is likely to be up
again. Just now young mules
look like a good buy, while the
prices are low. Owners of
mares in many cases have neg.
