A Little Talk on Thrift.
By s. w. STRAUS. President Ameri
can Society for Thrift.

By s. w. STRAUS. President Ameri-
can Society for Thrift.
In the course of his recent speech
in the House of Commons In exposi-
ton and defense of the Genoa con-
ference policy, Premier Lloyd
George made the following vivid state
ment:
eff the European countries had
gathered together their mobile wealth
in one pyramid and set it on fire the
result could hardly have been more
complete as far as the capital wealth
of Europe is concerned"
This terse statement comprises a
sweeping description of one of the
chief underlying conditions of the
present time. Destruction of such a
large accumulation of capital cannot
be effected without incurring a debt
that all humanity must pay. The
humiliation of SO much of the wealth
in Europe affects each of us in our
daily lives today.
We are each helping pay the debt
incurred through destroyed capital.
And herein lies powerful lesson in
thrift.
Whatever is wasted must be regain
ed through careful saving. The
economic equilibrium can be restored
only through the processes of prudent
thrift.
What is thrown away today, figura-
lively speaking, must be restored to-
morrow through thrift. This is a
truth that applies alike to the greatest
problems of worldwide economics
and to the personal experiences of
each individual.
The young man who wastes his in
come in merely having a good time
cannot escape the penalty of his ex-
travagances any more than all man
kind has been able to escape the in
debtedness incurred through the
destruction Of capital during the war.
Let us understand more and more
the fact that the practice of thrift is
necessity, and that neglect of it in
wolves obligations that cannot be
avoided.
TO encourage thrift is not merely
to utter theories of correct living and
codes of personal conduct, but it en-
phasiZes the existence of certain
irrevocable laws. Thrift too often is
alluded to as mere minor virtue.
Not frequently enough is it looked
upon as a fundamental necessity.
Waste under any circumstance brings
penalties that must be paid.

Tourists and Scenery.

Gravel is based solely on the en-
joyment of scenery Stephen T..
Mather, supervisor of national parks,
points out in reporting "the remark
able heavy tourist travel" to the parks
last year.
Nothing can be truer. Folk may
traverse deserts, but they do so to
reach points on the other side. They
leave the deserts behind them with
all possible speed.
But they laboriously climb noun
tains to get close view of the snow
capped peaks, the great canyons and
the tumultuous falls and rapids-to
be near to natures charms and won
ders.
They go far to visit forests and
loiter in them because they deeply
feel the spell of the beauty of trees;
they sojourn in parks because of love-
ly hooks and picturesque places. They
are happy indeed when they are in the
midst of woods and lakes and rivers.
Yes, scenery is the one magnet that
draws tourists. Without scenery there
can be no tourist trade worthy of the
name.
1t becomes plain that if Wisconsin
is to increase greatly the volume of
her tourist trade, which is hardly
tenth of what it should be, she must
guard her scenery-preserve it to the
utmost degree and restore no little of
the beauty which has been destroyed.
Natural parks, established in re-
gions of forests and lakes and rivers,
will do much. There is no other way
for us to continue to enjoy in some
measure the infinite loneliness of old
time Wisconsin. By far the most
promising and desirable plan Of this
kind which has ever been inaugurated
in the state is the movement to &C
quire the Northern Lakes park area,
in Price and Sawyer counties, and de-
dictate it to public use. 1t merits the
support of every man, woman and
child in the state.
Recreating beauty is also necessary
Reforestation of all nonfarming land,
and especially the bare shores of lakes
and rivers, would work q wonderful

Buy Government Securities

United States Treasury Savings
Certificates jump into prominence.
Why? Because these securities now
offer higher yield than any other G..
s. Government security. The yield
of Liberty Bonds at. present market
prices range from 81 percent to
percent. On April 18th the treasury
issued some new certificates of in
debtedness which bears only 81 per-
cent interest. The yield on bonds of
the U. S. Steel Corporation is now
less than percent and they are not
tax exempt. All of which means
interest rates are coming down
steadily.
Treasury Savings Certificates at
their present market prices have
suddenly jumped to the top of the list
of attractive investments. How long
will these selling prices remain in
effect? No one knows. The Treasury
Departments official circular states,
Until Further Notice.
If you are contemplating on max
ing an investment in securities come.

the new issue of Treasury Savings
Certificates and l am satisfied that

ABoLlsHEs DAYLIGHT SAVING

England has discarded daylight saw
ing time and is now working again un-
der Greenwich time, summer time hav-
ing ended on last Monday. 1t is stated
that the daylight saving plan will not
be resumed in the future. In an article
written by DR.. Benjamin Moore, pro-
fessor of bio-chemistry at Oxford, and
published in the London Times, the
doctor is credited with the statement
that from the health point Of view day.
light saving in summer is not bene-
fetal but an evil, especially during a
season of intense sunshine and high
temperature. Doctor Moore contends
that the plan of advancing the clocks
one hour during the summer months
is particularly disadvantageous to
school children, agricultural interests
and some industrial workers. We are
very glad to learn that one country at
least is going to abandon all foolish
ness about daylight saving and we
trust that the United States will be-
come sane on this proposition in the
near future and that we may not have
this plan In force another year any,
where in this country, says the Wis
consin Agrieulturist. 1t is disadvan-
tage, as the doctor claims, to school
children and especially to the great
agricultural interests of this country,
and is opposed quite generally by or
ganIzed labor. 1t should be abandoned,
as it is of no advantage whatever, ex-
cept to few people who want hours
of leisure in the early afternoon so
that they may tour the country In au-
tomobiles and play golf or some other

transformation in the appearance of
the state. So would the planting of
trees along all the country roadsides.
The more natural beauty is destroy
ed the more difficult it will be to build
up large tourist trade-the more
certain, in fact, that this trade will in
time stop growing, perhaps even
dwindle. The more we preserve our
scenery and restore natural beauty
the larger the tourist trade will be-
come and the greater its dividends.
Those who do nothing gain nothing.

SATURDAY, APRIL %, 1922.

Mr.. Roger Babson of Babson's Sta
tistical Organization and one of the
country's foremost statisticians and
business forecasters, has this to say
about immediate prospects:
st is possible for you TO make more
money this spring than you have ever
made in any spring during your bust
ness or investing experience.
my acquaintance with business
men all over the country convinces
me beyond any doubt, that the sue
cessful man is an opportunist. By this
] mean that he always takes advantage
of the present situation, whatever it
may be.
eff we go one step farther we find
that business men divide themselves
into two distinct classes. The first
group is composed of a very large
number of relatively small executives.
These are opportunists in only GER
tain part Of the business cycle. From
the middle of the period of prosperity,
they make money. The rest of the
time they wait for the business cycle
to turn again until this particular
combinations of conditions favors them.
1.-The other class-numerically
less but much more important as in
diyiduals embraces the really success
full business men of today. These are
opportunists all the time. They make
money in every phase of the business
cycle, because they have learned to
take advantage of conditions as they
exist without losing valuable time
waiting for the cycle. They change
their methods with conditions, instead
of waiting for conditions to fit their
habitual plan of action.
"For the partial opportunist there
is nothing particularly encouraging
about the spring. There will be no
radical improvement in the situation.
In all probability the REIMBURSEMENT
will continue it's present orderly pro-
gress. repeat, however, that it will be
possible for the man who takes advan-
tage of conditions as they are to
make money"

In spite of pessimistic remarks and
empty pocket books, business is get
ting better. Shops are opening, rail-
roads are bnying new equipment and
business in general is opening up. In
fact great deal of business depres-
sion has been due to these same pes
simists. They have talked SO much
about it that even an optimistic man
is afraid to invest nickel.

We all know lot of bright fellows
who never amount to anything and
who never get anywhere. We also
know lot of dull fellows who some
how manage to "bring home the bac-
on" This proves that we get paid in
proportion to the ability we use and
not what we possess. The dull fellow
is really the smarter because he has
learned this little secret. Delivery Of
the goods is the important thing to a
man who is on the paying end of the
proposition. What is in a mans head
doesn't interest him so much as what
comes out of his head.

AGRICULTURAL NOTES
By Dan Shaffer. County Agent

Plan for next years hay crop.
Now is the time to plan for next years
hay crop. Sow more clover seed,
seed down more acres than you did
last year if possible. This will in
sure you more hay to winter your
stock next year, it will mean less
cash money expended for feed, thus
giving you higher net income from
your farm, and it will also give you
more money to extend your farm
operations.
1t has been estimated that the
farmers of Iron county will pay out
something like $12O, 900 for feed this
year. We must grow our own feed if
we are to find farming profitable.
If you are following regular ro-
tation. say three year rotation, sow
about Is per cent cloverin your mixed
hay or in otherwords about ten pounds
clover and little timothy per acre.
If you must follow longer rotation,
sow six pounds of clover and six
pounds of timothy per acre.
IF you haven't enough hay for this
year, plan on sowing some annual
hay crop, preferably soy beans or
oats and peas. We must have all the
legume hay that we possibly can raise,
for with legume hay in our ration we
can save a considerable item on our
grain bill.
Soy beans make an excellent annual
hay crop and should be grown more
extensively as a supplement to clover.
Prof. r. A. Moore, head OF the agron-
omy department. says: "Year in and
year out, think Northern Wisconsin
farmers will come out ahead by using
pedigree Early Blacks" Prof. E. j.
Delwiche says Pedigree Early Blacks
are preferable over all other common
varieties for hay and seed production
in the north half of the state.
The Early Black makes rapid grow
tn and is ready to cut in hay weather,
sooner than other varieties. 1t is fine
stemmed, ieafy, is we'll podded and
yields from one to three tons of hay,
better than Alfalfa for dairy cows.
Soy beans have more digestible pro-
tein than alfalfa or clover hay and
more totally dry matter. Ground soy
bean meal can be fed to dairy cows at
the rate of not over one to one and
one-half pounds per COW per day.
Seeding for hay on medium or heavy
soils, use about bushel of seed per
acre, drilled solid after hot weather
begins, or can be drilled in rows a
bout "a to 80 inches apart and cultivat-
ed for either hay or seed. About 20 lbs.
of seed per acre is used when in rows.
On light soils drill in rows IS to "a
inchesapa and cultivate witt weeder.
Oats and peas planted at the rate of
about ~ blu. of each per acre make
an excellent hay when cut just as the
oats are heading out. They also make
an excellent silage when cut and put
in the silo just before the oats start
to turn yellow after they are fully
headed out. Any good field pea will
do with the oats. but it is advisable
to use the pedigree Scotch if possible.
The demand for pedigree Scotch peas
is very good and farmers who are look.
ing for good cash crop will find il
profitable to grow them for Seed.
