WHERE ADVERTISING

The Forest Service of the Depart
ment of Agriculture has done well to
prohibit painting of advertisements
on the rocks of the seventeen nation
al forests of California, and to order
stopped the erection of advertise
ments on trees. Besides being I'M
slightly such advertisements are use-
less, nay, worse than useless; they
create resentment instead of inter
est. The bill board is at best is an
appeal to the primitive mind; certain
ly it should not be permitted to de-
stroy the beauty of the country.
If the department have stopped the
advertising of outside products with.
in the forests will now begin to ad-
vertise the forests and national parks
where they should be advertised, in
the newspapers, Washington will
take a step forward in modern bust
ness conduct that indicates an intelli-

What do you work for2' one fell

Then the first fellow thinks-he
thinks. Why wouldn't it be best for
him to start where the other fellow
expects to finish-never work at all
reach all sorts of conclusions if we
start to think wrong, and the conclu-
sions will be logical, and seem right.
They won't be right, because they
start from a twisted root. When we
see how surely brains and not force
force must rule the world, we see why
we should harness up our mental hor-
SEES properly. curry the cobwebs from
our minds and get down to truth as
the basis of our thinking. A fire can
give us life as we'll as death accor-
ding to how we use it. Twisted rea-

EXCLUSIVE MILLINERY MODES

Every shape and line, every tex
ture and color has been created and
applied. not for the hat itself. but to
conjure becomingness and beauty for
the head of the wearer. Today, as al
ways, the supreme charm and fitness
of the millinery comes from the
tasteful and accurate selection of the
hat for the head it is to adorn. The
glorious hats are here; so also is the
art and skill to grace each head with
its most appropriate hat. They come
in periwinkle, citron, black and
white and all the new shades.

Women Average Longer Lives
Than Men Do.

Women with low necked dresses
and short skirts live longer than men
with heavy overcoats and underwear,
says the bureau of census report.
The average life of men in the
country is 1923 years as compared
with 57.41 for women. Despite the
walls of reformers against fast and
strenuous modern life, The average
longevity of men in 1920 was 3.75
years greater than in 1910 while the
increase of women was 2.75.
The governments figures prove
there is something to the old warn
ing that life in the big cities will get
you sooner or later. The average
1ease of life" in the principal cities
is 51.55 years for men and SAT-
years for women, as compared with
a national average ir the country of
3.68 years higher for men and 2.64
years more for women.-Exchange

REMEDY FOR THE COAL
SITUATION.

Touching upon the coal situation
The Springfield (Mass.) Republican
says:
"Gov Blaine Of Wisconsin tells the
northwestern governors in confer
ence at st. Paul that federal seizure
of the mines is the only remedy for
the coal situation if the strike is not
soon settled. Many have held that
opinion for long time"
The months are approaching when
to inhabitants of the northwest fuel
will be as necessary to preserve life
as the food we eat or the air we
breathe. Should the coal strike con-
tinue much longer there will be a
general demand for government con-
troll of the mines.

ests, which we have valued lightly,
and which produce health, wealth,
and beauty. The Bulletin before us
commends the highway patrolmen on
their efforts to keep down the weeds
along the roads. 1t says:
Wisconsin highway patrolmen are
to be commended on their Jealous eff
forts this year. Few and far between
are the kicks" registered by out
state tourists and local motorists
who wander over the highways and
byways of the Badger state this sea-
son. The only remark sensed thus
far that may have weight is that "pa-
trolmen are so busy on the roads
proper that they are forgetting to
cut down the weeds and vines that
tend to obscure the highway mark
ings." If every patrolman will give
an hour a week to this one duty all
will be well. In some places the
highway markings are SO located as
to be easily covered by either flowers,
vines or weeds"

Fine Educational Exhibit Big Race Program Live
Stock and Floral Hall Exhibits Larger Than in Past

The time of the Mineral Point
Fair is close at hand. The officers
are doing their best in making the
final preparations for the annual
event. So far reports are very favor
able. That the Agricultural exhibits
will surpass those of other years is
evident because of the unusally large
number of early entries. The cattle
department especially has received
large number of early entries.
The County Superintendent re-
ports the educational exhibit entries
are more numerous than ever before.
Teachers have laid more stress on
the fair work this year, and the re-
suit is a larger and better education
al department.
Among the big features of this
years fair, the baseball will be by
far the best. The people of south
western Wisconsin have never had
an opportunity before to witness
baseball played by big league talent
Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1922-08-24

on local grounds. The big league
players will positively appear as ad-
vertised. Both teams the Fairies
and the Chicagos, are ball teams of
great fame and they are evenly
matched.
The horse racing this year will be
much better than that of many for
mer years. Horse racing is coming
back as a sport and more active
interest is being taken. Besides the
special baseball and horse racing, the
free acts are of a type which will
appeal to all. The Stanton's Mid
Continent Shows, which will also be
on the grounds night and day, are
reputed to be clean and novel enter
tainments. Every possible arrange
ment for the bettering of the fair
has been made by the officers. 1t is
now for the people of Mineral Point
and community to turn out next
week and make the fair what it
should be-the biggest and best.
