FIREMEN STUDY
MOVIE FILM

Through the courtesy of Mr.. Reed
proprietor of the Palace Theater, the
local fire company were shown a film
from the Ford Educational Library
in which modern methods of training
fremen and Of conducting rescue work
and fire fighting were exemplifed by
the Detroit Fire Department.
The views Of the modern equipment
and methods employed by the Detroit
company proved very interesting. The
rescue of two Frustrated men from
the third floor of structure was &C
complished in one minute. A hose
was carried to the sixth floor and wa
ter received in from one minute to
one minute and ten seconds. The use
Of ladders and turret nozzles was
demonstrated and various feats accom-
plished from each Of which some sug-
gestion could be drawn for use by the
local Company.

IN JUSTICE
GETS COURT

Tuesday morning young man who
had been arrested by Chief Of Police
r. S. Payne plead guilty to stealing a
robe from an auto at Biron. He was
fined SIS and costs, amounting in all
to about $18. He said that he had
had a robe stolen from his car last
fall and another in the winter, and if
that was the way things were going
he had resolved to get even by taking
robe when he needed one, Appar-
emily nothing had occurred to him in
regard to the question Of right and
wrong involved. Some one should
have instructed this young man, who
is just past FL, on the matter of rights
of ownership. Who was it? Why
didn't they do it?
Someone should have taught like
lesson to the ones who took his robes
last fall and winter. Who was it?
Why didn't they. One wonders some
times whether these young people are
following the slight instruction they
receive at home, in school or in church
and Sunday School, or if, instead,
they are following daily examples in
wrong doing and law-breaking.

and with It's active cooperation. This
has been helped in turn by the bankers
of the state, who have seen the value
to the business interests of the state
which lies IN the stability and pro-
gressiveness of the statewide dairy
ing policy. So, they have helped to
finance the pure-bred business, and
have encouraged tuberculin testing
and other health measures. The State
Government also has been interested
and has passed and enforced laws
which lead to better health among
animals, Deter quarters for them, less
competition by inferior products, and
the like.
During the past fifty years, says
Dean Russell, the dairying industry
has been placed on firm foundation
and hasgotten well started on a pro-
gressive plan of cooperation and in
telligent action. 1t remains only to
continue along the lines that have
been followed in recent years. The re-
suits have already justified every step
that has been taken. But results have
only begun. The beneficial results
that are to follow are sure to increase.
The cost is sure to be less in future
than in the past for much of the cost
ly experimenting is over. Scrub cat
tie and disease are being done away
with so rapidly that the full harvest
of benefits is nearly ready to be ga
thered. Dairymen should be the most
optimistic of all Wisconsin people. The
future is bright with certain promise.
In all this advancement the County
Agricultural Agent has been the most
local factor. He is the one
who brings the new ideas and the
tested methods personally to the men
who are to practice He is the man
for the dairyman to see and talk with
and work with. Work with him as in
diligently in the future as you have |
in the past and the profits are certain
and increasingly large.

RENT THE ENDLESS DRAIN
By Rex Grover White.

1t is said that one test used in an
old fashioned private asylum was to
give patient a dipper and then es-
cort him to a bath tub and advise
him to empty it, the faucet being turn
ed on. If he were crazy he started
to bail even though his dipper was
filled with holes. If he were sane
he first turned off the water and then
pulled the plug. This may be only
STORY" But it has it's moral.
Are you laboring to empty the tub
of life of it's financial trouble while
all the time the rent faucet is on?
Think it over.
What would you think of man
who bought a pair of shoes that did
not fit him very well, had been used
by others, were not we'll made in the
first place, perhaps, and certainly did
not look we'll? And suppose further
that when he bought those shoes he
agreed to keep them in good order,
to allow the former owner to take
them off at any time and examine
them, to give them back to the owner
at the end of any period the owner
desired without receiving back any
part of the purchase price and further
he agreed to pay the value of the
shoes over and over again?
That is just about what you are
doing, Mr.. Renter.
Listen. If tomorrow your salary
is cut, your income lowered, and you
must change your budget, what are
you going to do about that unchang
ing drain-the rent. You can eat less
expensive foods, wear your clothes
longer, go less often to the theatre,
but your rent does not change unless
you move. If you move you move
to- a cheaper place and that means
less desirable place and that in
turn means lowering of your social
life, an ever present sense of defeat,
an acknowledgment to the world that
you are going backward, that you are
not success, that you have failed.
The rent is one drain that cannot be
stopped or halted OR lessened at Will.
There are certain philosophers that
believe that if man wants anything
greatly enough he can get it There
NAV be reservations to this. But not
as many as you think. II you want
a home of your own you can secure
it. How? There are many agencies
in this city that have been created
to answer that question. If you want
tina home the first step to prove il
is to find out who those agencies are
If you haven't enough ambition, get
