Which Was. Right?

A stranger drove into a little
country town the other day. He
drove up by the side of the first
native he met and inquired: What
sort of town is this one, a good
one or bad one?
The native scowled. Its the
rottenest town on Gods green
earth" he, replied and swore.
The stranger drove up. He drew
up by the side of the next man
he met What sort of town is
this one, a good one or bad one?"
he asked again.
The native blew out a cloud of
blue smoke. His features tighten
ed up. Why he declared as he
threw out his hands, this is the
bulliest little ranch you ever en-
tered stranger. If your looking
for the real thing you need hunt
no farther; it's here.
Which man was right? Both had
lived in that town the same mum
Der of years almost to a day, and
both were blessed with the worlds
goods to about the same extent.
Yet they held Numerically OPP
posed opinions. One was an opti-
mist; the other a pessimist. One
was a smiler; the other a crouch.
They were both confronted by ex-
actly the same conditions, yet each
viewed them from opposite angles.
Which man do you think was
right?

WOLVES IN WISCONSIN
Said to Have Been Driven
From Michigan and Min
nesota Into Wisconsin by
Fires.

The howl of the wolf has be-
come unusually common to Wis
consin's north woods. Where the
settlers have not yet made more
than slight impression on the
landscape of the wild lands,
wolves have increased in numbers
to a point where professional
hunters are reaping a harvest of
bounties.
Bayfield, county leads as a wolf
producing county of the state
with total of 81 killed this fall
of which 10 were shot this month.
While the fall kill of wolves in
the state amounts to 270 so far
there have only been 100 Il -
killed to date and most of these
were the prey of hunters in the
western part of the state. Only
II foxes were shot in Bayfield,
county so far this fall
There were only two wolves
killed in Douglas county in Au-
gust but there have been 20 shot
there since. Southern counties
have few wolves but two have
been captured in Dane county so
far this year
The shootingMof a large num-
Der of wolves early in the fall is
considered unusual and points to
the large number of the animals
this year, according to veteran
woodsmen. The real wolf hunting
season will not be on until later
in the season when snow will
make trailing the animals pos
sible.
Together with the great in
crease in the number of wolves,
hunters are being paid $40 more
for the killing of an animal this.
year due to new law enacted by
the legislature last session. For
merly hunters received $40 from
the county in bounties for animals
Willie A1OW Vic SCdCC pays Vic GOCdl
of $50.
According to reports reaching
the conservation commission, wolf
hunting has become a business of
the north woods. With automo-
biles hunters are travelling to Sec
tions where wolves are most likely
to be found.
The big kill of che animals re-

Nash Tweaks Blaine's Ears.

Sounding a solemn warning that
state industries are being driven
from Wisconsin by the attitude of
the state administration, Charles
W. Nash, president Of Nash Mo-
tors Co., in an address at Kenosha
Monday night before the Mems
club of the Congregational church,
urged his hearers to start organic
ing now to bring new regime in
this state and thereby halt the
exodus Of manufacturing interests
from Wisconsin.
Wisconsin is in very dangerous
position. Unless something 10
done it will lose many of its larg-
est industries. It would have lost
many more this year had not the
program of proposed legislation
been halted.
Il am not going off half-cocked,
but if | am driven out of Wiscon-
sin, I'll move. True, | have some
brick and mortar here and else
where in the state and would hate
to abandon it. | have a home in
Kenosha, but if necessary it can
be showed into Lake Michigan If
we are driven out of the state it
will not be our fault
Mr.. Nash urged his hearers to
go out with the same zeal that
they showed in Liberty loan
campaigns and organize to save
Wisconsin.
You cannot do a greater service
than to go out and educate the
people of the state to this need"
he said Draw industry to Wis
consin and everyone will pay less
taxes.
Il am about as popular with the
governor of Wisconsin as a skunk
is at Sunday school picnic In
opening his campaign here last
year our present governor paid his
respects to me when he told Ken
osha some things about taxes paid
by the Nash Motors Co. That is
why some men get into office.
They misrepresent honest men.
You will notice that these state
ments were not repeated else
where and there was reason. There
may be Blaine men here, but | do
not care. / can safely say that l
| owe Blaine nothing.

NEED OF RELIEF FUND
Second Inspection By Coun-
ty Nurse Finds This Neces-
Sary.

The County Nurse has started
her second year in Villas county
by visiting schools and in that
way checking up on what has been
done in the correction of defects.
The following is her report:
The greater part of September
and part of October was spent
looking up cases which had been
reported, as children were being
neglected and dependent on the
public. These reports came from
different parts of the county,
therefore it was necessary to make
Winchester, Manitowish and Min
ocqua to get the information need
ed.
Sept. 18th two children from
the Town Of Lincoln were taken
to Sparta and placed in the State
School. Oct. 4th three children
from Vinegar were taken to Spar
ia. Oct. 18th two girls were tax
en- to the State Home at Chippewa
Falls. One case came from Win
chester and the other from Eagle
River.
Oct 18th, the second inspection
of schools was started. The fol
lowing schools were visited and
inspected: Winchester, Vinegar,
Presque Isle, Spider Lake, Baaken,
Juve and Sundsten. One day was
spent in one Of the rthal schools
in the town of Phelps. Consider
able improvements have been made
by the school children. More
children are making an effort to
brush their teeth daily The cot
fee drinkers are on the decrease
and the milk drinkers on the in
crease. The personal appearance
has improved in a good many
cases. On one school Cat the first
Inspection about twenty children
were excluded from school on ac-
count of having head lice; this
fall only two children were found
to be afflicted and these two came
from the same family. Such i'm
provements show the people are
taking an interest in the work
and are willing to cooperate in
every possible way 1t was sur
prising and pleasing to note the
number of corrections which have
been made, glasses have been fit
ted, dental attention given to the
teeth, tonsils and adneoids have
been removed 1T was also founc
that these corrections were made
by people of fair circumstances
our poorer class have taken nc
steps toward the correction of de,
fects. 1t is not because they are
not willing, they haven't the
means to have. this work done.
Many counties have small hos
pitfalls and dispensaries where
these cases can be taken care of
while Villas county has none. II
we could start a County Relief
Fund with the aid of the loca
Red Cross funds, a great many
corrections could be made. Thi.
work would be carried on through
an investigating committee anC

"The Call to Worship"
Make a joyful noise unto

the Lord, all ye lands.
Serve the Lord with glad
ness: come before his pres
ence with singing.
Know we that the Lord he
is God: it is he that hath
made us and not we our
selves: we are his people and
the sheep of his pasture.
Enter into his gates with
thanksgiving and into his
courts with praise: be thank
full unto him, and bless his
name.
For the Lord is good: his
mercy is everlasting; and his
truth endureth to all gen
erations. Psalm 100.

speaking. the executive branch, i'll its depart

There is hopeful talk now OF reform in that
quarter. - f
Administrative departments naturally tend
TO fossilize. Bureaus are developed Tor all
kinds of duties, and that brings bureaucracy
a sort of mechanical system with clumsy
and over-developed machinery, futile routine
activities interfering with each other, dt1pllca-
tons and all-round awkwardneSS and waste
fulness.
This is partly the result of natural growth
in the departments and natural resistance OF
routine minds TO new methods, but IT IS
largely the fault of Congress, which creates
the departments and prescribes their duties
Congress now has i'll its hands sweeping
plan for reorganization OF the executive de-
partments, submitted by the President The
most important changes suggested are the
consolidation OF the War and Navy Depart
ments in one Department of Defense, with
undersecretaries for navy and war; the en-
largement of the Postofice Department into
Department OF Communication, with au-
thority over mails, telephones, telegraphs and
radio; and the creation OF a new Department
OF Education and Welfare, with an assistant
secretary for public health. There would be
also many minor consultations and trans
fers Of bureaus and subdivisions.
Nearly all of the proposed changes seem

and calculated TO increase the efficiency OF
administration and save money at the same

Bring Back Color and
Lustre TO Hair

You can turn gray, faded hair
beautifully dark and lustrous al
most over night if you'll get a
bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Compound" at any drug
store. Millions Of bottles Of this
old famous Sage Tea Recipe, i'm
proved by the addition of other
ingredients, are sold annually,
says a well-known druggist here,
because it darkens the hair so
naturally and evenly that no one
can tell it has been applied.
Those whose hair is turning
gray or becoming faded have a
surprise awaiting them, because
after one or two applications the
gray hair vanishes and your locks
become luxuriantly dark ard
beautiful.
This is the age of youth. Gray
haired, unattractive folks aren't
wanted around, so get busy with
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com

given To defeat the will of the
people, expressed in the only
manner in which the citizens Oh
the nation may pronounce their
judgments. There is no logical
reason why President or Con-
gress which these citizens have
rejected should go on legislatlng
for months. And there is less
reason why a Congress elected
in November shall wait more than
a year before beginning to func-
ton. unless called into extraordi-
nary session meanwhile. Yet
this is the case as matters nov
stand. TIE House and Senate
elected last November, for ex-
ample, will not meet until next
December, unless some eXlgency
causes the President to summon
them to Washington ahead Of
time. The old Congress is making
all the appropriations for the
next fiscal year, has passed upon
the British debt settlement, and
is making every effort to force
the ship subsidy bill to a vote.
The. purpose of the founding
fathers" in devising this long de-
lay in putting a new Congress to
work, even though the new Con-
gress be put on the pay roll on
March 4, has been made plain.
These wise men felt that newly
elected legislators should have ii
year in which to take second
thought upon the issues of the
day; that they should not rush
from the polls to Washington and
begin legislating, lest they al
low their enthusiasm or their
preiudices or their passions to
lead them into error.
But if repudiated legislators
are to be barred from function
ing after their reputation, then
it is necessary that the new Con-
gress be installed. Congress must
sit part of each year In order
to provide the money to keep the
wheels moving. As between the
possible evil of a newly elected
House and Senate running amdck
and the patent evil of an old
Congress remaining on the job
after it has been voted out of
office, we believe the nation will
be willing to assume the risks
involved in the ratification of the
Norris amendment.

THE NORRIS AMENDMENT

II ANOlNAki5 iN-N A. A'A - ~
Congressional leaders in de-
Gliding to lay on the shelf long
list of proposed amendments to
the Federal Constitution. mclud-
ing that barring future issues Of
tax-exempt securities, seem TO
have made an exception in the
case of the measure proposed
by Senator Norris under which
the President and each succeed
ing Congress would be indicted
into office in January instead of
March 4, as at present.
This measure has passed the
Senate and is pending before the
House. Because of the over
whelming majority cast for the
amendment in the Senate, it is
assumed that the necessary two
thirds vote will be forthcoming
in the House, if that body is
given a chance to vote. Only ny
special rule may such propo-
sition come up at this stage of
the House proceedings, however,
aid it remains to be seen whether
the Rules Committee will fall into
into line.
The broad idea underlying this
suggested change in the Consti-
tuition is appealing. Under our
present system the executive and
the Congress, elected IN N'vem-
Der. do not assume Office until the
succeeding March. A Congress or
an executive, therefore, thai may
have been repudiated at the polls
mayjsstill function for more than
three months thereafter, and if
they are in accord, carry into ef-
feet policies upon which the eoun-
try at large has turned its back,
This, of course, is not genuine
democracy. The opportunity is
