Moral Support of Citizens Need

Every successful national guard Off
Ger realizes that his duties and efforts
in behalf of the success of his unit do
not cease with his mere presence on
the drill-foor. Important as drill is
he knows that in addition thereto he
must devise ways and means for hold
ing the interest of his men but fur
maintain such a community interest
that there will be permanently estab-
lished a moral support and atmosphere
of encouragement and public interest
as will assure such success.
Too many of our townspeople seem
0 be under the impression that troop
If cavalry. is an organization sent here
for us to support, whereas it is an or
ganization made up right here at home,
consisting of our own young men, who
are equipped and paid by the govern
nent. All required of the community
IS to provide a suitable armOry and
stables, for which rent is paid, and to
give a generous amount of moral sup
port, friendliness and encouragement.
A citizen army has long been the
lream Of the American people. one
which would provide national and COM
munity defense and protection at a
minimum cost to taxpayers. Thls

of this community. Under the Ma

4 sizeable citizen soldiery for domestic

any emergency demands, and reduces
to a minimum the numbers and cost
of the regular army. 1t is an effort

SUCCESSFUL PLAY
BY SENIOR CLASS
Students Enter Whole Hearted
ly Into Spirit of Production.
DIR. Eaton's
Address

The senior class play proved to be
another of the highschool students
successful productions. What Hap
pened to Jones'" is live, humorous
play, and the players did justice to
themselves and to their school. The
students entered whole heartedly into
the spirit of the play, and interest DID
not lag for a moment. Due credit
should be given to the able coaching
of Miss Sande and Mr.. Lewis.
The girls of the domestic science de-
partment had another OF their periodic
baking sales Tuesday evening. This
time small cakes were sold instead OF
sandwiches.
DR.. Eaton, professor from university
extension, Madison, who is giving a
series of Christian culture lectures in
the city, spoke to the students OF the
highschool on Friday, last. Under the
general topic of educa ton he sought
to show the young people that the
value of an education Is not what is
sometimes called mere culture" In
its true meaning it is a bringing out,
development, a something" that will
60 on and on. Two tons Of iron are
valueless if left in the ground and
worth only few dimes at the station.
But take that amount of iron ore, de-
velop it. transform it, make it into
crowbars, ten-penny nails, carpet tacks,
or watch springs, and the value would
rise relatively until two tons of the
finest watch springs would be worth
millions. Each student comes with a
two ton possibility and the opportuni-
ties are placed before him Of develop
ing it. Some are content with the
crowbars, some with the ten-penny
nails or carpet taeks, and at graduation
some of the girls and boys are watch
springs DR.. Eaton emphasized the
point that the students little realize
the privileges that are theirs.

Wisconsin Highway Commissions 1922
Pocket Highway Map Ready

The 1922 official pocket Highway
Map of Wisconsin, issued annually by
the Wisconsin Highway Commission,
is now ready for distribution The
general form of the map is the same
as in 1921, but several radical i'm
provements have been made in the
contents.
This year the map not only shows
the routes of the numbered and mark
ed state highways, but is also shows
in colors whether they are surfaced
or earth roads and their general con-
dition. II is believed that this will
very much facilitate the selection of
routes under different weather condi-
tions and that this feature marks a
great advance in highway map service.
There has been added large scale
map showing the eastern side of the
state where the roads are very con-
gested, so that the selection of touring
routes in this district is made easy.
This large scale map also indicates
types of highways in two colors.
These maps can be had locally from
most merchants handling supplies of
this kind. If not locally available,
they may be secured from the Super
intendent Of Public Property, Madison,
Wisconsin, at zoe each, with lower
prices in quantity.
