What Do You Know of
Wisconsin, Your State?
Know Your Own State and Tell
All Visitors of It's
Great Beauty

The long parade of tourists. says
the GAINESVILLE Gazette, from the south
and east and west has set in toward
and through Wisconsin. There is no
telling how many there will be dur
ing the summer season but the num-
Der is likely to mount into far be-
yond six figures. Minnesota thinks
that state will have $4,000 visitors
this summer. If so we will have more
This procession through the state will
make the plans for conserving to the
people the natural beauties and pre-
serving them for all time for the pub
lie, come to the front with greater
emphasis There will be half million
or so of people also who will know
more about Wisconsin than the aver
age dweller in the state, when the sea-
son is over.
We ought ourselves to be well in
formed. We have dwellers in Wiscon-
sin who can tell US much of Europe
and little or nothing about the Badger
state. There are persons who can
go into rhapsodies over the shipping
and docks at some European port who
have never seen the .glories of the
lake front at Milwaukee with all the
myriad lights along the south shore
and the splendor and majesty of a
ship, like moving city block coming
into harbor Gorge and glen and
chasm, lake and river, cliff and noun
tain, woodland and asylum dell-one
picture after another unfolding reveal
ing pastoral scene and rugged new
and natural beauty these are to be
had here at home
There is a charm of climate scare
to be found elsewhere, a beauty and
restfulness seldom encountered in
other places. There is nothing of the
tremendous, of the great overwhelm-
ing and dominating scenery of the
Rockies, but for real comfort and
enjoyment Wisconsin has few, if any,
rivals
1t is far more to the point also that
it is the poor mans recreation ground.
We have not quite arrived at the stage
where we wish to exploit the tourist:
We leave that for Europe and the
more sophisticated East. Here we are
still natural human beings and glad
to have the folks visit us and make
oaI ~ aground tnsir own Even II
we know that rugged rocks and won
der places have, never been visited by
US we like to see others enjoy them
But then and again, we should know
Wisconsin and be more proud of it.
VACATION TIME
Vacation time is here with all its
sunshine and warmth and eager an
the time we have longed
for and planned for ever since we re
turned last year, and now it is here
In few short days we will leave our
cares behind and devote ourselves to
and the pursuit of happi-
ness.
Oh, the joys Of vacationl some
of us will travel far and delight in
the marvellous creations of nature
while basking in luxurious comforts
devised by man. Some will take a
fishing rod in summer or a gun in
autumn and HE them to a forest
primeval Many will seek the, gaiety
Of summer resorts and enjoy time
Of revelry and mirth, while others will
stay at home and sleep late in the
and work the garden in the
afternoon or perchance may give the
old house new roof or coat Of
paint
We have no inclination even to sug-
gest where you might go or what
you might enjoy, but we do impress
upon you our solicitude that no ac-
cident shall bring to a sudden stop
your anticipated joys
Always bear in mind that the fool
who rocks the boat is a full brother
to 4goof" that didn't know it was
loaded" Look out for the fisherman
who may thoughtlessly cast his hook
inc your eye. Keep away from poi
son ivy and poison oak. Observe the
rules of the road" when driving and
extend the same courtesy that you
expect
We wish for you and yours just the
kind of enjoyable vacation you have
planned and safe return home.
