COAL, OR Words?

Winter is rapidly approaching, when
coal will be needed to prevent the peo-
pie of the north from freezing and
millions of the south from becoming
most damnably uncomfortable.
Trains must be kept running in or
der that food may be distributed to
the people who need it. This, or they
starve.
With this condition facing US the
wage disputes between the railroad
and coal corporations and their en-
ployees remain unsettled, with no ap-
parent hope of an adjustment in sight
The millions of men, women and
children who are in no way response
bic for this paralysis of two of the
most vital industries of the country
are shackled and helpless, with no
way to turn, ground between the re-
lentless stones of conflict that never
cease to move.
They look to the congress to enact
laws for their protection, and to the
president and his assistants to put
those lows into execution and enforce
them.
It, therefore, is an opportune time to
put vital and leading question to
congress and to the president:
care you going to discharge your
duty to the American people as a
whole, regardless Of political consid-
erations, or are you going to bow the
the neck of authority to the corpora
lions, or to the brotherhoods, or to
BOTH"
A hundred million people want coal
not empty words.

PINT: woods
DESTROYED BY
new PEST

Thousands of acres of jack and Nor
way pine near Web Lake in Burnett
county are being injured and perhaps
killed by relative of the tussock
moth, according to reports received
by S. B. Fracker, entomologist of the
state department of agriculture. The
caterpillars are present in millions
and large areas pine woods are turn
ing brown from the depredations.
The insect is an uncommon species
of Olene, states DR.. Fracker, and has
not been seen in Wisconsin for about
fifteen years. It then appeared as
suddenly as it has this year and COM
pletely disappeared the following sea-
son. No practicable means of control
is known and the owners cannot be
given any assistance as spraying for
est trees is impossible
The damaged area is one being pro-
tected from fire by the Cornell Wood
Products Company and the conserva-
ton commission in cooperation. State
forester c. L. Harrington visited this
section last week and confirmed the re-
ports Of serious damage.

TWO KINDS OF CAMPERS

Yesterday morning we drove beside
beautiful lake, looking for a suitable
spot to park the Buick and spend the
day. There was not another car in
sight and the trees and flowers looked
so fresh and inviting that it was diff
ficult to choose one spot over another,
but finally we made our choice anG
stopped.
1t was not long, however, before
two other cars, both full of children
and grownups, came up and stopped
also. We enjoyed their company and
especially to see the children romp
and play, climbing trees and skipping
stones on the water, but a difference
between these two families soon be-
came apparent. They both, of course
began almost Immediately to get out
materials for picnic dinner from
their respective cars and both enjoy
ed the meal equally well, but the chill
dren of one family very carefully ga
thered up all the paper, boxes and re
fuse, from their repast and packed
them away or burned them in their
tiny fire. The others, however, no
sooner finished eating than the boys
got out a new sharp axe and began to
cut and hack the nearby trees. In the
course of an hour they had destroyed
more trees than could be grown there
in several years. The girls took out
the empty pickle bottles and proceed
ed to break them. They scattered
orange and banana peels all over the
place and then together built bon
fire large enough to roast an OK, scar
ing the grass and flowers for many
feet around
The result of the days activities
was that the beautiful spot of the
morning was left with an appearance
similar to that of a vacant city lot be-
fore the city garbage laws applied.
Never again for this whole season will
it be pleasing or even safe for another
party to enjoy that particular camp
ing spot. Only sharp pieces of brok-
en- glass scattered about in the grass,
Feelings, paper and other refuse scat
tered about, dead trees and whitening
limbs are great black spot burned
in al otherwise perfect picture.

WE'LL BE BACK AFTER YOU"

As the parade of undertakers at
tending recent convention in Spring
field marched along the main street
a spectator shouted some slurring re-
marks about conducting a dead bu-
siness. Quick as a flash a humorous
parader remarked over his shoulder,
We'll be back for you later
Of course it is a foregone conclu-
sion that the undertaken will get all
of us sooner or later, but unless we
are careful and practice Safety First
every day and every hour he viii get
US much sooner than would otherwise
be the case. Why not keep him in hot
water for a longer time and at the
same time allow ourselves a longer
period to enjoy the good things of this
life by being careful. Unless we do
this the undertaken may be back fof
US sooner than we wish for.

NORTHERN
WISCONSIN
IN 1920

The population bulletin of the four
teenth census relating to Wisconsin,
which was recently issued from Wash
ington, has some surprises for those
who are familiar with the recent pro-
gress of northern Wisconsin, under
which we describe the twenty-nine
newest counties lying mainly north
of "a line drawn from Green Bay TO
Hudson 1t is shown that those TWEEN
ty-nine counties contain an aggregate
population of 702,974. The total for
the state being 2,632,067, it will be
seen that this section, generally con-
sidered very new, has better than one
fourth of the total for the state, de-
spite the fact that the greater cities
are all in the south. More interesting
still is the summary of the rural pop
ulation in the north as compared with
the south In the older Wisconsin
(forty-two counties} the aggregate
of the rural population is 5,042; in
northern Wisconsin the rural popula-
ton amounts to 479,054, or consider
ably better than one-third of the ru-
raj population of the state. Most sur
prising of all is the fact that the
county of Wisconsin having the larg-
est rural population is now found in
the north, for the county of Marathon
has 1888 people who are classed as
rural, whereas the next highest, Dane
county, has as, o53. Other comparisons
might be made to show the progress
Of the new section as follows: North
ern Wisconsin has a larger population
than the states of North Dakota,
South Dakota, and all of the Noun
tain States except Colorado; three Of
the New England States also are
smaller in population than northern
Wisconsin; while Oregon on the Pa
ciic coast has only $4,000 more peo-
pie despite its one large city.

WHY NOT S0ME:
Thing new

What forms Of amusement will we
adopt in this town during the coming
winter months?
Why not something new?
When you have seen play once you
have seen it enough. Sitting through
a second performance is wearisome
and time wasted. It loses its novel
ty.
The usual round of socials and par
ties is much the same. People go and
perform the same old threadbare
stunts simply because they must have
some form of recreation and amuse-
ment.
The same diet if partaken of con-
tinually becomes nauseating. The
stomach Graves change.
1t is so with the mind Without a
change of mental stimulant the mind
becomes stale and clogged and does
not function to best advantage.
Something new is what We need,
something that will induce each of us

SOMETHING
GOOD AHEAD

We accept the prediction of financial
writers and prophets that better times
are ahead, but we would like to know
how far away they are.
Optimism is our creed, because it
is to the optmists we must look for
restoring the world and our parti-
cular~ portion thereof to something
near the stability of pre-war days.
This old globe is in sad state of
confusion, bordering almost upon
collapse, but there is comfort in the
fact that it might be worse. There is
even encouragem in the fact that
conditions generally are steadily i'm
proving.
Something good ahead!
Let US make that slogan, and la
Dor unitedly and INCREASINGLY until
we can triumphantly announce that
something good is here"
Our numerous stdikes and idle
trains and shut down mines and all of
the other annoyances have a tendency
to create spirit of pessimism in even
the ,stoutest of hearts.
But pessimism does no good, and
it does do a OF of harm.
A strong heart surmounts many diff
culties before it acconlplishes its pur-
pose, but in the end it prevails where
the weak heart falls by the wayside
Yes, there is something good a
head.
Let's get it.
