THE HAPPIEsT YEARS OF ALL

The wilderness of high school
Is good old place to go;
And the happy days you spend there
Do not pass the least bit slow.
When at last you return
To the life you wish to fall,
The years in the wilderness
Are the happiest OF all.
And when you reach the end
By the path unto your grave,
You'll find the years in high school
Were the merriest you gave.
Claude Hunting.

! A new way to save-saving by
spending-is making a strong ap
peal to the younger generation
There is all the thrill of spending
but the money is really invested, for
it is used to pay for investment
stocks of ocal electric light and
power companies.
The report of the Customer own
ershiD committee of the National
Electric Light association, recently
published, reveals that lone of the
surprising things which has inter-
ested everyone i'm this movement is
the extent to which the younger
people of the community are invest
ing in these securities. This is un-
doubtedly due to the fact, the re-
port continues, that young people
have during the past five years
earned more money than probably
has been the case with such classes
in any period of the worlds history.
and as result of their own thrift
and the advice of older people have
sought investment for a certain part
of this money.
Financial and business publica-
tions have shown great interest in
the growth of this new investment
movement, believing that it is not
be looked upon as a war measure,
but that it is destined to become
more important year by year. The
offer by Forbes Magazine of $1,000
in prizes for the best letter in reply
to the question, What Are The
Benefits of Customer Ownership of
Public Utilities?" Is an attempt to
get the ustomer-owner's side of the
new relationship between producer
and customer. Letters may be any

While the sweet keys we play

Spring, oh happy Spring.
When across the hill and dell,
On noiseless silent wings
You bring all joys to tell,
You awake the flowers and grass,
The birds and bees as well.
oh joyous happy spring

The sky you make more blue,
The scene you make more

New life in all is instilled by you,
When across the world you

A SUNSET

| n oONoEl
The fluffy clouds of snowy white,
Drifted in the heavens bright,
Ger the hills from left to right,
Sank the sun, a glorious sight
1t gave purple and golden light
AS it drifted past and out of
sight.
And all the land was still and quiet;
The day was spent, then came
the night.

SCHOOL DAYS
The school boy trudges along the

No more pleasure and no more

But study and work the whole day

Oh what life is life at
But spring, the mistress of the year,
Is slowly, sweetly drawing
near,
And then the soul of youth runs
free.
No thing is better than spring
for me.
And when our winters work is
done
The prize each sought is fairly |
won.
And then the real life will begin,
It's up to us to lose or win.

Somewhat Mixed.

1t wasn't a Missouri editor but
a printers devil who was going
thru his first experience on max
ing up forms. The paper was
late and the boy got the galleys
mixed. The first part of the obit-
uary notice of a pecunious citizen
had been dumped in the forms
and the next handful of type came
off galley describing a recent
fire. 1t read like this: THE pail
bearers lowered the body to the
grave and as it was consigned to
the flames; there were few if any
regrets for the old wreck had been
an eVesore to the town for many
years. Of course, there was indi-
vidual loss, but that was fully
covered by insurance" The widow
thinks the editor wrote the obit-
uary that way because the lament
ed partner Of her joys and sor-
rows owed him five years subcrip-
ton.

Buggies Should Carry Lights.

Many times the attention of
drivers of horse drawn vehicles
has been called to the danger of
driving on the roads at night
without a light. A series of acct
dents recently has again drawn
attention to this hazard. It is
worse in the fall than at any 9th
er season because the darkness is
more intense than at any other
season. The cool nights follow
ing warm days makes a precipita-
ton which causes a sort of fog.
Given a car approaching in
front and buggy hugging the
right side of the road for safety
the buggy will be hit unless the
driver goes slow and has his car
under control for a quick stop.
The road on the right is all black
due to the glare of the approach
in car, and it is impossible to see
the buggy until it is very close
unless a spot light is used.
Therefore every horse driver
should carry some kind of a light
which can be seen from the car

Investigating Odanah Death.

Startling developments are ex-
pected in the case of Emerson
Thornton, Racine youth, who met
his death under mysterious cir
cumstances at Odanah about two
months ago, where he had gone to
visit his father whom he had not
seen in fourteen years states the
Hurley Miner.
The department of justice has
reopened the probe and j. B. Har-
ris U. S. Investigator from Mil
waukee was in Ashland last week
comforting with Louis Sollie, Ash
land county coroner, and District
Attorney G. M. Merrill.
The youth was found dead with
a bullet wound in his heart, in an
abandoned shack a week after he
arrived at his fathers home in
Odanah. Circumstance at the
time seemed to point to suicide
but later evidence has seemed to
indicate that the young man was
murdered. The investigation by
the federal authorities was launch
ed at the request of Thornton's
mother.

FARM NAME is BIG AID
Post it in Conspicuous Place
and Make of it a Business
Asset.

THE farm with a name is a
better place of business than the
farm without name" says w. A.
Summer of the agricultural jour
nalism department of the Univer-
sity of Wisconsin.
Farmers of today fully realize
that farming is a business, accord
ing to Mr.. Summer, but many of
them still hesitate to- apply busl-
ness tactics. One of the ways to
obtain business is to advertise. An
appropriate farm name neatly
painted on the barn, on the mail
box, or on a sign or single at
the entrance to the farm, furnish
es one of the most effective means
of advertising that any business
farmer can desire.
When the farm name is chos-
en-" says Mr.. Summer, the own
er should make his choice so that
it is worthy of being maintained
S0IlSI dO1O1l W SSIlC1 tC1O1l'
1t should, therefore, be dignified,
and pleasing to the eye and ear;
appropriate to the type of farm
ing and different from other farm
names. 1t should be short, so that
it can be easily and quickly read
by motorists driving past. The
name should be one easily remem-
bered and easily pronunced, there
for Ango-Saxon words are prefer
red to- those of Indian origin or
foreign extraction.
Besides giving it a business at
mosphere, the farm name further
adds significance to the place by
creating a rightful pride of posses
sion for the owner, by moulding
stronger ties for the family, and
by establishing a firmer link be-
tween the scene of the farmers
toll and the picturesqueness of his
home"
