Rubber can be extracted from

The Department of Agriculture ex-
nects to investigate the possibility Of
developing these varieties so that
their growth and the extraction of
rubber from them may be CONNER

1t is interesting to note that this
rubber situation has a parallel in his
tory in the sugar industry. At the
time of the Napoleonic wars the sole
source of sugar supply was the sugar
cane. This also was British con-
trolled, and the British at that time
undertook to restrict the supply and
thus raise the price to the rest of the
world Out OF that restriction grew
tho beet sugar industry, which today
worlds sugar. Will we have a repe-
tition of that history, and out Of this
attempted restriction, again by the
British, develop a new source of rub.

The average family in the vii
lage celebrated the 4th last week
as the inclination called. Some
drove to Minocqua where they Gel
'ebrated, while many others spent
the day on the shores of the many
beautiful lakes in this region. A
number of cars drove to the two
falls in Michigan where they
spent the day loafing and fishing
for trout in the Ontonagon river
below the falls. 1t is said that the
celebration at Minocqua was extra
good. Of course all of the base

WISCONSIN, WAS NAME
French Called it Wish-kin-
sing, and Father Hennepin
Called it Wisconsin.

The celebration at Prairie de
Chen of the 250th anniversary of
the discovery of the Mississippi
river has raised many interesting
questions as to- the origin of Wis
consln names.
The Mississippi has enjoyed a
great variety of names at the
hands of various explorers. The
Iroquois of the New York region
knew of it as "Gastacha'. Henne-
pins party called it "Mechaspi."
To Marquette it was Conception"
because it was on this day on his
calendar that the party reached it.
Joliet called it the 'Baude." The
modern name, however, comes dir
ectly from the aboriginal one
meaning big River or THE
Father of Waters
One authority says Wisconsin"
comes from an old Sank Indian
word. Mesh-bou-sing, referring
to holes in the banks of stream
where the birds nest. The French
later changed the spelling to
Wish-kin- sing, and then refined it
to suit their peculiar taste into
Quiconsing.
William H. Wheeler, student of
Indian lore and aboriginal nomen-
olotl1ro occav+c +bo+ +loo vol =. -. :,
of the state should be Wisconsin"
Mr.. Wheeler believes the word
Wisconsin is a corruption of an
Indian term meaning red stone,
which is characteristic of the
banks of the Wisconsin in the
Dells region. He says:
Father Hennepin, discoverer of
the river now known as the Wis
consin, gives Wisconsin as it's In
dian name in his narrative, and
the name of the state came from
the name of the river. The name
Wisconsin probably was due to the
mistake of the copyist who put w
IN the place of M and n in the
place OF u very common mistake.
With these changes you have Mis-
cousin.
That errors in copying before
the days of typewriters led to un-
intentional changes is shown in
several instances in Wisconsin,
such as that of Poynette, whose
name was intended to be Paquette,
but which the postal department
made Poynette, which it remains
to this day-Antigo Herald.

Why Waupaca Has a Band.

The Waupaca papers last week
carried a list of S270 in contribu-
tions by merchants of that place
toward the maintenance of the
city band. This in addition to the
$1,000 appropriated by the COM
mon council, makes a total of ST.
40 to insure band concerts for
one season. The contributions
range from five dollars to twenty
five, and the list includes every
merchant of consequence in the
city.
That is interesting to us only SO
far as it shows that Waupaca be-
lieves that her band is worth pay
ing a whole lot for. 1t might be
we'll now to call the attention Of
those who envy Waupaea her 10y
al band to the fact that Waupaea
has a remarkable band because she
supports one.
Our own city council has appro-
priated sum for the maintenance
of the band. 1t would be heart
ening mark of appreciation to sur
prise the boys with something
they had not planned on.-New

TRANSPORTATION FEES
Changes Made in Laws In

There will be change in the
school transportation law at this
session of the legislature if the
senate approves the bill which pass
ed the lower house last week. The
measure provides that in consoli-
dated school districts, children
living two miles from school may
be hauled and that the district
must pay ten cents for one child
per trip, twenty cents for two
children and thirty cents for three
children in the same family. The
old law provides for a ten cent
rate but it has been difficult to
secure persons to transport child
rem at the fee allowed by law.
