Northern Counties In
Big Publicity Campaign
LAND o'LAKEs OPENS ExTEN
SIvE ADVERTISING CAMPAIGN
IN LARGE CITIES

The beauties of Northern Wiscon-
sin with its remaining sections of vir-
gin timber, its lakes, it's trails, will
soon be known to millions of news
paper readers throughout the South
west and Middle West. Probably new
er in the history of the state, has such
an excessive booster campaign been
proposed as that launched by the Wis
consin Land O'Lakes association, a
recently incorporated organization to
boost Northern Wisconsin. Plans are
completed for an extensive adYertis-
ing campaign in six of the large Mid
die and Southwestern cities
Literature, road maps and travel
data are now being printed and will
be ready for distribution within the
next few weeks The headquarters of
the association is in Rhinelander and
William d. Conner Jr., of Laona, Wis,
is president Of the organization.
This year when the tourist starts
for the north lands, he will find in
Chicago and Milwaukee completely
equipped information bureau, telling
him where he can go and how he can
get there. An album containing illus
trations of the resorts which are mem
bers of the organization and a minia-
ture map showing the lake the resort
10 417o dct1 10 rs
| been compiled this winter and will
be n the headquarters at Rhinelander
as well as in the hands of each asso-
| citation member.
Two million people a week will be
reached by the advertising of this
association In addition to this, more
than $4,000 road maps and $4,000
folders will be circulated among tour
/ lists and summer fesorters.
| According to Mr.. Conner, Nothing
has been left undone to reach the
prospective tourist and to extoll to
him the beauties of Wisconsin and the
northern lakes. We see in this cam
paign, a bigger thing for northern Wis
! consin than the summer resort bust
ness This campaign is going to bene-
fit every wholesaler and retailer do
ing business in this section of the
state.
Some idea of the caliber of this
organization may be gained from a

ing board: Otto Walsh, president

INTRODUCES WINTER SPORTS

The White House Inn on Big St.
German lake of which Ellis o. Jones
is the proprietor is the first one in
that section to feature the idea of
winter sports for tourists and the re
suits have been so satisfying that
another year an effort will be made to
induce a larger patronage from the
large cities for skating, snow shoeing
skiing, and coasting. Recent guests at
the White House were Mrs. Lola Nav
erick Lloyd, the we'll known artist,
the Misses Lloyd and Master VIM.
Lloyd all of Winnetka III. Who re-
turned home very enthusiastic over
their winter outing.

Would Reform Govt. Business
Methods

Brig. Gen. Herbert NJ. Lord. direc-
tor of the Bureau of the Budget, Is
trying to reform the Governments
methods of doing business. He
wants the Government to adopt a
sane and sensible form of contract
for one thing. to reduce the number
of it's purchasing agents, for an
other; to simplify and standardize
the specifications covering commod-
tiles sold to the various depart
ments; and to put into effect mod
ern business practices in dealing
with business men.
Gen. Lord has mans size job
ahead. He doesn't underestimate
the work. He told a story the other
day at gathering in Washington
illustrative of the kind of thing he
has to encounter.
"a business man in San Francisco
had contract with the Govern
ment," he said. There arose a sit
uation which could have been
cleared up in ordinary business prac-
tice, at the cost of letter and a
postage stamp. But this was a
Government contract so the con-
tractor had to come from San Fran
cisco to Washington to adjust the
matter.
"After spending many weary in
effeotual days in Washington. the
man wrote to his young son back
home as follows:
"'My son, when you become Of
age, if your country is at war, fight
for it to the last drop of your blood,
but do no business with it. Ma

up to his becoming editor on the

FATHERS And SONS
BANQUET TOGETHER
AT BAPTIST CHURCH

Although We have leaders, the hope
OF the world is in the boypower of to-
day, was the declaration of Arthur A.
Head, assistant State secretary of the
Y. NJ. G. A, the speaker of the eve
ming at the Father and Son banquet
held Friday evening in the basement of
the Penney Memorial United Baptist
| church.
He then told the story of a we'll
known Britisher who was asked during
the war what steps would be taken by
England to rehabilitate herself after
the war. and who then detailed the
plans which had already been put on
paper to prevent any great crisis to
the banks or to the industries, but who
admitted that no man had yet been
able to submit plan for replacing
those men and boys who were lost in
the great war. Today the world is
looking to the boys to bring forth the
leaders that will save it.
The speaker then talked for few
minutes to the boys. telling them that
the one thing that would be of the
greatest help to them is companion
ship with their fathers. He told them
! that every father likes to have his boy
show affection for him and that they
should remember that father has been
over the road and knows the bad
turns, so they can rely upon MS JudS-
ment and advice. Another thing that
father likes to see is ambition. lie
likes to have his son want to do
things and will help in every way he
can.
| He advised the dads to learn to
chum with their boys. to give them
some time each day. He said that IL
| the bows go wrong it is often largely
| the fault of father. The speaker stat
| ed in closing that if farmers knew as
! little about farming, mechanics knew
as little about machinery, preachers
knew as little about the gospel and
lawyers knew as little about justice. as
many fathers do about their sons, then
the world has come to a bad state OF
| affairs.
Mayor Ernest Mclean acted as
| toastmaster at the banquet. Other
sneakers were Rev. H. II. Brown, Wll-
| liam Black and Harlan s. Kennedy.
| About 80 fathers and sons were pres
cnt at the banquet.
The meeting opened with an inVoca-
ton by Evangelist Lawrence Green
| wood. A fine lunch of roast beef with
brown gravy, cabbage salad. hot rolls,
pickles, pumpkin pie, doughnuts ana
coffee, was served by the ladies OF the
| Miriam Circle The committee in
charge of serving this lunch consisted
of Mrs. Mansur. Mrs. Stearns. Mrs.
button. Mrs Hopkins and Mrs Shell
don.
