Praises Lake Park Project.

II have spent twelve yeas in roaa-
ing over Wisconsin, especially in the
northern part, in connection with my
duties as state and federal game war
den and have been IN every nook and
corner of the state. | have no hest
fancy in saying that the area in Price
and Sawyer counties. which is pro-
posed as a Northern Lakes park, is
the most striking bit of wilderness
left ia the state. with its unusual com
bination of primeval forest, its group
of lakes and the swift flowing north
fork of the Flambeau river. 1t is the
best hunting ground in Wisconsin to-
day"
This is the testimony of Conrad
Asmuth, United States game warden
for Wisconsin. who has offered his
services in the campaign to raise a
fund to purchase this park area for
state use.
eve must begin TO preserve the few
areas Vi NliucEutbS WE nave iclt ah
place of recreation for our people, -
said Mr.. Asmuth. 1--WE must do it,
also to preserve our game. | am glad
this movement to set aside the North
ern Lakes park has begun. Our for
ests are disappearing fast and Wiscon-
sin has no distinctly forest park in
the lake region.
s. few years ago partyof us spent
eight days starting in the Manitowish
waters and working down to the
north fork of the Flam beau river and
through the lakes into the proposed
park region. We saw l72 deer on that
trip and more than three-fourths of
them were in the park region. We
counted eight in single group on the
Flambeau river near Mason lake.
by all means, the people of Wis
consin should stand back of the move
ment to make thisregiona state park. "

A Little Talk on Thrift.
By : w. Straus. President American
Society for Thrift.

By :. W Straus. President American
Society for Thrift.
Sir Thomas Upton was once asked
TO define his conception of the secrets
of success and ne replied as follows:
Saving is the first great principle of
all successes. 1t creates independence
and gives young man stamina; il
/ fills him with vigor; it stimulates him
With the proper energy; in fact, it
brings 10 him the better part of any
success-happiness and contentment.
If it were possible to inject the quail
/ ity of saving into every boy We would
have great many more real men,
If one were to place a questionable
III the hands of all the men in the
world today who are achieving great
success, asking them to outline the
secrets of their achievements. it is
more than likely that they would all
answer with definition scribing
the principles of thrift. 1t is recogn-
lied as one of the fundamentals neces-
sary n rounding out a strong char
acter.
This does not mean that great ac-
complishmentf depends on saving
money, but it does mean that success
must depend among other things on
thrift of time, efficiency and elimina-
ton of waste, Unless one watches
closely and exercises = great amount
of will power, each day will bring a
harvest of wasted time and lost OBJ
portpnities.
The man who gets ahead and ae-
complishes worthy things ia the world
does so because he knows how to
make the minutes count. He knows
that every hour is precious and that
If be is to keep to the front in inc
race for life he must not waste any of
his time in idleness or in ways that
are not of constructive value.
Industry should be the magic word
to those who look forward to the fut-
ure with visions OF great success.
Life is full of opportunities for those
who have the alertness and ability to
take advantage of them. But these
opportunities are empty and meaning
less to those who are not industrious
and whose energies, moral courage
and mental resourcefulness have been
impaired by habits of thriftlessness.
There are thousands and thousands
of good American boys today who
are looking forward to the future
with great expectations. The most
valuable lesson they can learn, In
seeking to bring about realization
of their aspirations, is that thrift
lies at the bottom of success.

Sea Shells.


II is n very pleasant hobby for
those people who live by the sea to
gather ON suitable shores the delight
ful sea shells that lie on the beach
among the pebbles or glitter beneath
the water No understanding of con-
cholosy Is necessary To appreciate the
beauty of the shells that invite at
ten;ion. There is none more delight
fui IN look at for perfection OF design
than the nightcap. which reminds us
WILDLY of the illustrations to the
stories OF Charles Dickens. The paint
ed top the Venus. and lace sea shells
are equally attractive. Many artists
have derived direct inspiration from
these little wonders. The fan trac~
cry In European architecture must
have owed It's origin to the fan sea
shells, with their exquisite markings
The colors frequently seem to have
been put on by hand. So geometrically
do they encircle the tiny home.

Lower Prices for Ore.

While prices of iron ore for 1922
have not been established there is
evidence TO support the assertion
that standard grades of iron ore
from the Lake Superior district
can be purchased at Is cents less
than the prices quoted last year
There is basis for the belief that a
hrm offer would develop this in
certain quarters, despite the fact
that some of the large producers
are indisposed to indicate what
their price will be, in advance of a
general selling movement.
The difficulty OF the present
situation IS that while many furnace
companies are endeavoring TO OBJ
tam accurate information ON ore
prices, on which to base their
prices OF pig iron, the stocks of ore
on hand are above normal and no
business is i'll immediate prospect
Until a round tonnage of ore is
offered the price level for 1922 will
be matter Of conjecture. How.
ever, 1t is indicated that were
furnace companies now willing to
contract TOR seasons requirements
they would have no difficulty in
ootaining a reduction of Is cents
on all the ore that certain large
producers could deliver. They are
not endeavorlng to force the
market.

SATURDAY MARCH 4, 1922.

How much misery and crime and
unhappiness could be prevented if
parents would give their children the
mpressionAhat they are their pals
rather than a Judge of their actions.
So many boys and girls are often in
doubt about something. They long so
for someone 10 whom they can talk
and who will understand them. But
many parents feel that they must dis
play no signs of imperfeetion before
their children, they must not let them
know that they are only human with
human motions and desires, They al
ways take the attitude of failing to
understand upon those few occasions
when their children do screw up cOur-
age enough TO talk to them. They al
ways say, "Why | never heard of
such thing I'm sure | never felt or
did sueh things when / was young ;"
DO they really believe it when they
say IT. For human nature changes
very little in one generation.
Then, year or two afteTward when
some outsider tells them of some mis-
deed Of the child or some bad habit
which could have been so easily cor
rected if taken in the early stages but
which has been allowed to run on I'M
til it has assumed really serious pro-
portions, the parent goes to the child
and says, but why didn't you come
to me and tell me about it," and he
fails again to realize he is at fault
when the child replies, "Oh, l was
afraid because | knew you wouldn't
understand.
Why will parents persist in the
foolish fancy OF showing their child
rem and trying to show them only that
perfect side. If they only knew how
much it would help the child to know
that their father and mother struggled
through just the same temptations
aud trials that they are struggling
through before they came out on top.

Could you use a hundred dollars

they are not rich because of their ex-

manned undone might perhaps have been
done, and some things might have been
done better, during the last eighteen
months by the application of autocratic
methods in our Government: some Sena-
tors and Congressman might have been
coerced, bulldozed. into acting against
their own judgment, but all these pos
sible things would have been of in
fiatesimal consequence compared with
tho injury of autocrat methods that
would have perpetuated the autocratic
habit. and compared with the fact that
by the Presidents refusal to use those
methods he has brought us back to the
sound basis of limited powers upon
which our institutions rest.
II need not dwell upon the revolution
in administration and legislation which
has brought our Government from the
basis of profligate expenditure TO the
basis of careful economy. The figures
of Government retrenchment already
pass the line beyond which amount are
sc vast that our minds become incapable
OF measuring them. With Andrew Mel
Ion holding the shield of protection over
the Treasury and Gen. Charles Dawes,
with accurate knowledge and torrentlar
enthusiasm, welding the sword of a
Crusader. multitudes of superfluous en-
poyees have crowded the roads away
from Washington, and the Government
establishment is resuming its natural
and healthy dimensions.
I'VE are all employers and laborers
and the general public Is apt to be impa-
tient about strikes. So long as strikes
were contest between laborers and en-
ployers to secure for labor its fair
shares of the new wealth which has
come to mankind through invention and
discovery and the application of science.
and the art of organization. the sympa-
thies of the American public were with
labor. When strike becomes an at
tempt to coerce the public into taking
action by cutting off the supply OF food
or service necessary TO the life OF the
community. I am sure that public feel
ing goes the other way.
"I think that in this country we are
gradually approaching the point where
the law of the land will provide for
distinguishing between the two kinds
of strikes. and protecting the public
against compulsion by threat of peril TO
life or OF destruction to the machinery OF
civilization, and at the same time pro-
tect the workman's liberty, TO refuse 70

the American government of all the
people, by all the people. for all the
people, will fail. and few will rule the
many. Perhaps we are approaching that
point as rapidly as is practicable and
wise to attempt.
II am inclined to think that nothing
could be better at this stage of the per-
enniaI process of Industrial adjustment
than the condition which has now been
reached through the patience and sym
pathetic influence of the President. That
condition is full and impartial invcstiga-
ton into the rights and wrongs upon
which the recent strikes have rested

missing declaration by the President OF

Governor in order to be President or

He is simply doing what he thinks Is

desire to thank the many friends

which might prove detrimental to party
unity and good feeling. ! have decided
TO withdraw my name from the con-

their hearty support. and that whoever
succeeds me as Attorney General may

same great courtesy and confidence
which has been accorded to me through

bearing at the age of II. was affection
ately saluted by the 1883 delegates as
he was escorted to the platform. His
luminous address filled most of the short
session. The convention effected tenn

OF the late Elon II. Brown by Represen-
tatiye Ogden l.. Mills and adjourned
until tomorrow, when II will finish its
business. That business is the adoption
of platform and nomination of candi-
dates for State offices and United States

Black Favors Project.

nA"SA AEolect.
Now it is discovered-so it was re-
ported to-day--that Col. Black favors
the ST. Lawrence canal. In explanation
of his retirement from the ticket the
unofficial word was passed around to-
day that at hearing he hau expressed
himself as tavoring the ST. Lawrence
canal project. 1t was also said that IN
the course OF his engineering work ne
had made a report against the deep
ening of the Hudson River. which is a
feature of the waterways transportation
program Favored by Gov. Miller.
The only adverse criticism or the slate
as now revised is that it does not meet
with ancient ideas that the candidates
must be widely scattered geographically.
Gov. Miller comes from Onondaga, Will
from Erie. Erskine c. Rogers for Attor-
ney-General from Washington. Cadlc for
State Engineeg from Monroe, William J.
Maier for Comptroller from Seneca.
The withdrawal Of Col. Black leaves
Queens without candidate. and OF
course New York is bereft by the insur-
rection of John j. Lyons. but such are
the chances of politics. Some of the
leaders talked of running Samuel Gift
ford. a war veteran and engineer of
Queens. for State Engineer. but he said
he wouldn't think of taking public office
A rumor, generally disbelieved, had II
that Joseph De Bragga. the Queens
leader. would try to make up for the loss
of Col. Black by booming Dana B. Wall
lace, Queens District Attorney, for Attor-
ney-General
In making known the fact that after
consulting his closest friends he had
