LEASE FOR PARK AND TOUR
lists CAMP IS GRANTED
Last Obstacle Has Been Removed
And All That's Needed Now is
Action.

The city has secured lease from
the Chequamegon Ice company on a
tract Of land on Lake Lavina for the
proposed park and tourists camp
site The lease is for five years
and subject to renewal. The final
details were completed the latter
part of the week.
No obstacles remain now to pre-
vent Hurley from having a park and
camping place for tourists, the
matter of a lease having been clear
ed up. It is now up to the county
and city dads to get busy. The
county board voted to build road
to the proposed park at a recent
meeting. The equipping of the
park will be up to the city.
The tourist season is well advanc-
ed Hundreds of them go through
here every day. Many of them
would stop here if there was a
place to camp. Some stop and
camp on the ball grounds. Others
go to Ironwood Quick action is
needed in order to have the Hurley
park ready for use this year. It's
a thing that's needed in the summer
time, right now when the tourist
season is on. Next fall or winter
won't do. Now is the time.
Hurley merchants are losing
money by not having place for
tourists to camp. Other cities have
proven that tourists spend from five
to twenty dollars per car per day in
the cities in which they stop. It's a
thing worth considering.
We hope that ways and means
will be found for getting this camp
into working order as soon as
possible.

A LITTLE TALK ON THRIFT
By S. w. STRAUS
President of American Society for Thrift

Some recent statistics made public
by the National Board of Fire
Underwriters furnish proof of the
need of more intensively safe
guarding the homes of the country
against fires. According to these
figures, there is an annual loss of
life in this country of 5000 due
directly to fires. During the last
five years dwellings worth third Of
billion dollars 1921 ,453,878, to
be exact-were destroyed.
1t has been computed by com
petent authorities that 90 per cent
of the fire losses in this country are
due to avoidable causes. This
means that substantially $290,000,-
900 worth of homes were needlessly
burned up in the United States in
the last five years.
There is today a shortage in
residential buildings throughout the
country which makes the wanton
loss of homes through fires all the
more deplorable. If we use $4,000
as the average cost of a home, these
figures indicate an unnecessary de-
struction of about $4,000 homes
during the live year period, which
would be sufficient to shelter the
population of a city well in excess of
100000.
The wiping out of this property
means a tremendous economic loss
to the country. 1t is so much capital
gone. The third Of billion dollars
thus destroyed places an additional
burden on the rest of the country.
And these financial losses, APP
palling though they seem, are as
nothing compared to the sacrifice of
5000 human lives year.
The solution of this problem lies
almost entirely in education
Various individuals and organiza-
tons have been trying for years to
secure greater attention to thrift in
the public schools. If such an adj
dition to the curricula of the
nations schools went no further
than a partial elimination of fires
from preventable causes, the saving
of human lives and property which
would result from these educational
efforts would be well worth all the
time. energy and money involved.

IRONWOOD AND HURLEY
STAGE BATTING
PRACTICE
Hurley Touches Up Three Pitchers
for Twenty Hits and Score
Eighteen Runs in All.

Ironwood and Hurley staged a
baseball contest at the local park
Sunday that started out with the
earmarks Of a nip and tuck battle.
But after the first few innings it
developed into a batting practice al
fair for both teams, with Hurley do
ing most Of the batting. The final
count was Is to 10.
The Hurley sluggers faced none
other than their old teammate,
Hoffman, who has been pitching for
Hurley this season up until the
time he was loaned to Ironwood.
Hoffman turned in his Hurley
uniform following his try-out with
Ironwood and was given on with
Ironwood colors. He has been
pitching good bali all season but he
made a mistake when he elected to
heave against Hurley. The lineup
of the local aggregation is chuck
full Of sluggers and they soon got
to Hoffman and he was given his
first real good drubbing this season.
In fact the drubbing got so severe
that in the third inning Hoffman
was knocked to the woods. In the
three sessions that he faced Hurley
he was hit for nine safe ones and
seven runs were chalked up.
The real fireworks came in the
sixth inning when Hurley chalked up
10 runs Page succeeded Hoffman
on the mound in the fourth and in
the sixth Hurley got to him and past
ed the pill almost at win. Every
man on the team except one got a
hit in this inning. Drawer was the
first man out and he was also the
second, the team having batted
around. With the bases loaded
Baerwald hit home run in this
inning which was followed shortly
by an over-the-fencer by Clifford
with two on the bags. Others con-
nected for one and two-baggers. 1t
was merry bee while it lasted
Page was forced to the hills and
Ironwood sent in another pitcher,

Drawer, the home product artist,
worked in this game, He did not
show up so well as in the game with
the Union Giants but, although wild
at times, held the visitors pretty
well in hand.
lronwood scored first, two hits
and an error giving them two runs
in the first inning. Another was
added in the second, followed by two
goose eggs. A lone tally was
chalked up in the fifth frame and
two in the sixth. A home run by
Gorilla with one on gave Ironwood
two more in the seventh. Two runs
were put across in the last act
While there was considerable
heavy hitting errors helped swell
the score for both sides Six
miscues were chalked up against
Ironwood and four against Hurley.

BANK GIVES
SCHOLARSHIP

THE Farmers Bank of Carson VAL
Bridges, is this year Offering two
scholarships, one for boy and one
for a girl, each consisting of twen-
ty-five dollar saving account which is
now deposited in the bank. The
basis on which these scholarships
were to be awarded was left to the
faculty to decide. Their decision
was that these scholarships should
be awarded to boy or girl of the
Senior class, on the basis of 80 per
cent for scholarship, that is their
standing in their subjects, 25 per
cent for leadership, or the ability of
that personal act ard take the fore
most part in school activities and 25
per cent for merit, that is, for the
one who is intending to continue
their education after graduating from
high school In some school for high
er learning would gain the most
benefit thereof
This Is the first time that any en-
couragement, such as a scholarship
has been placed before thefstudents of
this high school and 1t is hoped that
the scholarship will be made an an
nual affair Nothing makes students
strive more for leadership and bet
ter standing in school than a
scholarship which places the ones to
whom 1t is awarded before the pub
lie in such way that all students
that follow will want to gain the
same goal and in their striving will
place their high school on the map
as the best high school in the state
