One of the outstanding features of
Congressman F. l.. Greene's announce
ment was it's characteristic briefness
and charity, says the st. Adams Mes
senger. There was no wasted VERDI
age neither did it go on to extoll the
virtues and abilities of the writer be-
yond concise wording necessary to
state the fact. Those who know Mr..
Greene will at once recognize this as
characteristic of the man. Mr..
Greene evidently intends there shall
be no ballyhoo methods connected
with his candidacy rather, and prop
erly, depending upon his exception
ally meritOrious record as Congress
man from Vermont to speak for it
self. This it does loudly and has
brought a corresponding response
from the state press, majority of
which makes haste to support Mr..
Greene's candidacy. The Messenger
is glad to add it's voice to these who
are convinced Vermont's interests
can be best looked after in the Upper
House by her Congressman for the
past decade and more, whose ability
as one contemporary asserts, has
placed Mr.. Greene among the first
ten legislators at the national capital.

Why Building Costs Are High.

Many people still complain about
the high cost Of building and the bio
wages paid to mechanics in thes.
trades. The principal reason fol
these high charges is the irregularity
of work in these trades. They are
too much affected by weather and
business conditions.
\ leading newspaper recently esti-
mated that in It's own city the plaster
ers and bricklayers get on an average
only $50 10 80 days work per wear.
The irregulauty is not SO much as
this IN many places, but 1t is enough
SO that these trades demand high pay
to make up for loafing periods.
II people would not all rush to have
repairs and construction work done
At one time and If more favorable
terms could be offered for Jobs com.
pleted in of seasons, these trades
could be made more regular and their
charges would not be so high.

A LITTLE TALK ON THRIFT
By S. W. STRAUS
Presiden. of American Society for Thrift

Il never have been able to get ahead
much. Luck has always seemed to be
against me- ="
This was one of the closing sent
ences of pathetic letter written re
Gently by man well on in years, who
was in dire financial difficulties
Such statements always arouse ones
deepest pity, and. at the same time,
should teach most valuable lesson in
thrift.
We hear much about good luck and
bad luck in the world-a great deal
more than is best for our progress.
When we analyze personal success
we find the element of luck had little
or nothing to do with it. And when
We analyze the failures we lind that
bad luck was not to blame.
So-called bad luck should be bless
ing indisguise, for, in overcoming it;
we gain strength, courage and ability.
And so-called good luck very often
brings direct or eventual failure and
ruin
If you are in any way depending on
the winds of good luck TO watt you in
to the harbor of your dreams, you
will be most grievously disappointed.
Rely on yourself. Learn your
lessons in the rugged school of hard
work, thrift, patience and pe-so7er-
ance. Scratch the word lack from
your vocabulary. If things go against
you, accept them as the challenge of
a worthy foe, and increase your re-
solutions to win. If things come
your way, don't get the idea that you
have become one especially favored
by the Gods, like certain characters
you read about in your fairy book
days. Look out for apparent good
luck. 1t may prove your undoing as
1t has done in the cases of many
others.
The rudiments of human progress
have not changed through the ages of
mans development. Back of all
success stands the substantial virtues
OF which thrift is the Keystone.
Bellet III luck is one of the evil
herltages of ancient superstitions.
1t has no rightful place in the
/ thoughts or plans of any enterprisinp
person of our day.

COUNTY SCHOOL NOTES
oooooooooo $500 Coco

Prepared by
Miss Ida Bradley, Co. Supt. of Schools and
Miss Margaret Hardle, Supervising Teacher.
The thirty-frst annual meeting of
the North Wisconsin Teachers As
sociation will be held in Ashland on
October q and Is. A strong pro-
gram is promised this year with
special emphasis on rural school
work. Among the speakers who will
take part on the program is Prof. O.
W. Neale of the Stevens Point Normal
school. Mr. Neale has been a eonduc-
tor at several of our Iron County In
stitutes and will be remembered by
all the teachers.
This is the association to which the
teachers of Iron county are expected
to belong and we hope to be well
represented. The law authorizes the
school board to continue the salary
for the time the teachers attend the
convention.
During the past month a number
of school boards of the county pur-
chased a set of Standard Encyclo-
pedias for the buildings under their
charge.
A teachers meeting was held at
Epson last Friday evening. Teachers
from the town of Anderson were
present. Miss Peterson of the Moore
school gave very helpful and inter-
esting report on "Silent Reading in
the primary grades" The topics dis
cussed by the superintendent and the
| supervising teacher were "Organiza-
ton of the School Library" and "Hct-
ter Lesson Assignments"
1t is a sad but a true fact that a
few schools in the county are still
found where Old Glory is not display
ed from a fiagpole. In most cases it
is not the fault of the teacher, but is
due to the fact that ropes, pulleys, or
poles are defective. In almost every
such school the teacher has hung the
| flag within the room that the daily
salute may be given, thus doing her
part. The flag, however must be dis
played outside of the building from
flag pole to meet the requirement
of the law and we trust that all
school board members will see that
their school meets the requirement.
The school at Manitowish was the
scene of much merriment last Friday
afternoon when the school children
entertained the pupils and patrons of
the Powell and Spider Lake schools
The room was tastefully and attrac-
lively decorated with witches, pump
kins, black cats, and hob-goblins. The
pupils rendered program of sing
ing, speaking and dancing. After the
program a delicious cafeteria lunch
was served.
Every rural school should have an
assortment of good primers. Children
will become good readers only by
reading great deal, and they should
be encouraged to read as many books
Of their own grade as possible.
The children of the Hinkle school,
under the direction of Miss Alice
Stnrgal, have organized their school
society. 1t is called the Merry
Boys and Girls Club. The follow
ing are the officers: President, Neal
Maenpaa, vice president, John
Asunto, secretary, Laila Asunto,
treasurer, Lempi Maenpaa.

10 Regulate Revolver Sales.


state legislatures, during their next
sessions. will be urged to pass uni-
form laws regulating the sale and
possession of pistols and revolgers,
modelled after bill introduced into
the Senate by Senator Capper of
Kansas, the provisions of which apply
only to the District of Columbia.
The Capper bill provides that no
one shall, without license, have pos
session of concealed weapon except
in his residence or place of business.
and that person who buys a revolver.
after securing license must make a
record OF bis purchase, including
full description and identification,
which must be filed by the dealer
with the police.
The dealer is required to have a
license, and the penalty provided for
the sale of revolver without a
dealers license is imprisonment for
not less than two years
No revolver can be sold until one
day after the application for purchase
is made, and revolvers for sale can
not be displayed in places of business.
la the trial OF person under the
provisions of the measure, the pos
session of revolver is prima facie
evidence of his guilt, and the cOnvic-
ton for other Offenses of person not
having permit to carry II revolver.

his possession involves an additional
penalty OF not less than five years.
penalties of greater severity being
imposed after the first ofrense.
The sale of reyolyers TO aliens, per
sons convicted of felonies, and min
0rs, is prohibited,
The intent of this bill. of course, is
TO prevent the purchase and use of
revolyers by criminals, and to regu-
late their sale in such way that ii
Is not impossible for law abiding citi-
zens who need protection to obtain
them. Uniform regulation of this
Kind is needed
Some provisions with the same pur-
pose, closely resembling those con
tanned In the bill. are now compre-
hended In state laws, but there is no
uniformity between the different
states, and the inetfectiYeness in the
operation OF present laws is proved
beyond any question by the alarming
rate nj which crime has been increas-
ing, not simply within certain states
and localities, but throughout the
country.
The revolver is the instrument of
crime. and the best means of cheek
ing crime is the uniform regulation
of he sale and possession of fire
arms.
But the criminal will obtain arms,
If ii is possible to do so within the
law or without, ana to prohibit alb
s0lutely their purchase by citizens
whose only intent can be that of pro-
lection, until that possibility is en-
tirely eliminated. would be TO aid the
criminal.
Sensible, effective aud uniform
regulation, that will operate to the
advantage of the lawful citizen, is
needed to control crime Such regula-
ton is provided in the Capper bill.
and many good citizens will urge
that it's provisions be made uniform
IN the separate states.

Orange four-goal handicap.
The defeat of Orange eliminates that
team from the present tournament, and
gives Eastcott the right TO meet next
Saturday. In the final, the winner Of
Wednesdays match, between Argentine
Federation and Devereuz Milburn's
Meadow Brock team.
The Anglo-American and Orange
played n fast, steady game which at
times thrilled tho crowd. The teams
were well matched but the clock-like
play on the part Of Eastcott and bet
ter stick work at critical moments car
ried the day for the winner. The
stroking Of the Eastcotts was of n high
order, their shots averaging more dis
tance than those of Captain Harri-
mans men.
Major V. N. Lockett, playing back for
Eastcott, ,sEas the particular star Of the
Anglo-Amoricans His defense was su~
perb. He rode like the wind and his
mallet work WAS OF very high order.
Stephen S. Sanford and Earl w. Hop
ping also gave fine exhibition of the
game for Eastcott.
Malcolm Stevenson, for the Orange
four, played his usual heady and dar-
ing game, scoring four Of the seven
goals actually made by his team.
There were two spills during the
game, Sanford going over his pony's
head in the first period when the ami
NAL stumbled, and G.. G. RuFnsey doing
the same thing when his pony tripped
over the side boards. Neither player
was hurt.
In the last period an employee Of the
Country Club standing behind the goal
posts when Stevenson made a goal was
struck by a pony, knocked down and
trampled on. He was taken to hos
pital.

Charley in large slabs.
Ike Dorgan, Whites manager and the
only noiseless press agent in captivity,
says that Benny is just ripe for pick
ing and that Chicago Charley will BIZ
the boy to do the plucking. That's
one way of looking at the coming dis
turbance. Billy Gibson takes quite
another angle. Billy said yesterday
that the fight on October 3 will end
up just as the first meeting between
the pair did, only Benny won't wait SO
long before putting over the K, o.
What seems to be a fact to close
followers of boxing, however, is that
Charley White has improved wonder
fully since his last. meeting with
Leonard. This has been obvious to all
who have seen him in action in recent
months. He is hitting harder and has
found his right hand. He is no longer
a one-handed scrapper, as he undoubt-
edly was when he faced his first OPP
portunity to relieve Benny of his we'll
glued lightweight crown. His left was
once Whites only weapon of offense.
Now he can use the other nit to quite
as muCn advantage.
Benny inaugurated the indoor train.
ing season yesterday at Seamon's gym
nasium on upper Third Avenue, and
the manner in which he went at his
work offered convincing evidence of
how he regards his affair with the
Chicagoan. Benny whirled through
twelve rounds of boxing, taking on
Jimmy Cooney, Jimmy Amato and Joie
Leonard, his brother, for four-round
sessions. Benny amuses himself in the
morning by running through Central
Park.
Dave Rosenberg, regarded by the
New York State Boxing Commission
as the middleweight champion of the
world, will defend his somewhat vague
laurels this evening at Ebbets Field,
Brooklyn, where he meets the vener-
able Mike O'Dowd in ffteen-round
battle to a decision. 1t is safe bet
that the bout will go the full distance,
Rosenberg and O'Dowd are scheduled
to weight in at 2 o'clock this afternoon
and are contracted to tip the beam at
not more than 100 pounds. Rosen-
berg, it is reported, has had some diff
ficulty in making the weight and has
been spending much of his time on
the roads.
+ The semi-fnal tonight should pro-
vide more action than the final. 1t
