Maine will retain her four Con-
gressmen for two more years. 1t IS
commonly accepted in the House OF
Representatives that no reapportlon-
ment bill will be reported until the
next session of Congress. The last
attempt TO call party caucus was
blocked by those congressman who
believe that it would be unwise to
redistrict the country at this time.

~OMPARE the finest Oregon apple with wild
IL crab and you have simple parallel OF the I'M

We found the apple wild and we tanned il. We
took the seed of the best fruit and planted again By
repanting only the best protecting the trees from
the insect foes giving battle to the wrecklng Worm
we have through generation of trees produced mar
velous fruit.
This is not an illogical picture to present in the
consideration of railroads lot OF people think that
we are going to the dogs. Ex-senator Pettigrew Of
South Dakota one of our brightest but most pessl-
nistic public men, has recently written book to tell
us how topsy-turvy everything is and that we are
headed for the bow-wows
We are not going to the bow-wows. The good
Senator is wrong. He points to the danger OF COM

IS bringing into life the perfected fruit OF government
control with ultimate government ownership OF the

common carriers which will greatly reduce
our tax burden.

INFLUENCE OF ROADS

The country town that has poor
roads radiating from it is badly handi-
capped, just as the farmer is who has
to haul his products over such roads,
Most towns recognize this and try to
get their share of trade by making
the main thoroughfare navigable at
all times with tolerable loads. The
town that does not see the Importance
of good roads and the imperative
need of making hem passable to or
binary traffic has need of the jolt
that is not generally long delayed.
We sometimes hear the, expression,
"a poor trading place." and instantly
we know the meaning Of it. We at
once know it refers to town that
has fallen into Rip Van Wrinkle
sleep and we are safe in assuming
that such town lacks wideaWake
merchants and the other necessary adj
junct-good ro2ds.
When a farmer sells anything,
whether it be his weekly batch of
produce ora load of hogs or one of
wheat or corn he naturally considers
the difficulties of the haul. Other
things being equal he chooses the road
with the least hills; and if the road
of least resistance has well graded
dragged highways, the town that is
handicapped with steep pulls and
poorly graded highways always is a
loser. 1t cannot be otherwise.
A cornbelt towns exists, primarily,
by reason of the farm trade. When
this reaches a volume that lines the
street with farm teams any good day
except the busiest times of the year,
we can reasonably certain that the

A CHRISTMAS SUGGESTION

Christmas not too far away to begin planning for
it, Many of the churches have already begun to lay plans
for the proper observance of Chrss natal day There
is much about Christmas coming with thoughts OF
it that if to write, he easily could cover many
pages and scarcely know t-and yet half of this sweetest
story would remain untold.
What happy thing it would be this year to pick out
somebody you know who ordinarily will not have happy
Enthusiastically, whose life is not all roses and
sunshine somebody whose story has been written with
the pen rust Of Disappointment and desparng difficulties
somebody whose soul has been pnched and his heart
choked by the circumstances Of fate which he
she had CONTROL but who remains firm in the convc
ton that there still is Santa Claus though Santa
disappeared out of his her life in childhood forever
Think little and you will see in your mind this
woman, mayhap child. On every side they will
be found If you know the inside story of that man or
that woman you do not like because of something
other perhaps you would draw little closer and raise
the curtain of their lives you would stand back in
ment and then wonder why you had disked them with
out knowing why. Perhaps-but why go on?
Let us begin to think of some to make happy
this Christmas-some who is undoubtedly overlook
ed in the mad, glad rush Perhaps this may be
rich weto do financially it does not matter, whether
rich poor make it point this year to remember
of these unfortunate unhappy victims around whose lives
fate seems to have hung pail

We republishing this week two articles from the
Merrill Daily Herald that will be of interest to many Re
view readers One refers gift to that city presented
by Mr.. and Mrs A. H. STANCE, consisting of tract of
land to be made part of the public park system of Mer
ri and to be used and maintained soldier memorial
park upon which Mr. STANCE will erect at his expense

w. Ellis of Eagle River and quite well known here
Mr. STANCE prominently connected with the Wisconsin,
Michigan Lumber Company and is director of the First
National Bank of Eagle River and if judge him
recty from slight acquaintance is keeny interested in
the development and prosperity of Eagle River well
Merrill his home town in which he has taken active
part in upbuilding
The other article is of entirely different nature
but is also in which Eagle River is interested having
it's subject the very important OF what good
hotel to any town. Eagle River is badly in need
of the kind spoken of and when the time that such
project is seriously brought before the business
of this village for consideration it should by all means
have hearty support and aid By of it's extensive
trade Eagle River should have a modern hotel
beyond the capacity of other towns of it's and there
is month in the year when such hotel would not do
a business in excess of any done. With modern
hotel with steam heat Baths etc. and under proper
agement there is reason why much of the transient
public patronage that makes point to avoid stay
ing night in Eagle River in cold weather should not
rather prefer to spend WeekendS here with profit not only
to the hotel but other business places we'll
1t perfectly true the speaker in Merrill said that
good hotel of the greatest assets that town
have from advertising point of view although rule
other lines of business do not appreciate they should
what the right kind of hotel facilities in their town would
do for them
Eagle River has number of suitable sites for such
hotel and has the patronage to make it profitable

ROADS WEAR OUT

Until recently when any state laid
out system of trunk highways there
was a clamor and a quarrel on the
part of the cities and villages to get
these highways to run through the
main part of the community. A reac-
ton is beginning to set in. The cities
and villages find that their streets
are beginning to wear out under the
heavy traffic and congested and dan
gerous conditions are resulting. Back
of the movement in Wisconsin today
to divert a large amount OF the motor
license fees to be used on municipal
streets is the fact that motor vehicles
from without the villages and cities
are wearing out the streets. The time
is coming, and not far distant, when
main trunk highways will be laid
out to avoid passing through NUM-
cipalities.

once upon a time there was a
man named Russell Sage. He
died many times a millionaire. He
never spent a penny he was not
compelled to spend. He bought his
summer underwear in the winter
time and his winter clothing in July.
He paid fifty cents for straw hats,
when merchants were throwing
away their left overs in September.
Thus he amassed a huge fortune,
which two of his nephews are now
spending. They buy in season with
the money Sage left and enjoy the
buying with the human touch
Sage could not leave. He never
knew it. Buying in seasons spells
universal prosperity and human
happiness. But buy early. The
rush stimulates prices. Everything
needed for Christmas is now in
stock, and the early bird catches the
worm. The worm may be foolish
to get up, but he's up in every store.
