PHILOSOPHY
By Uncle bud.
By Uncle bud.

Uncle bud Says: ''More homes are
ruined by poor cooking than by poor
morals Take care of the dollars
and you'll corral your share of the
dimes"
After all, a woman is not much
worst than when she is only after
one.
A good story is often spoiled
by weak head. Same way with
a man.
Honesty pays in the long run
and it also cashes in on the short
squirt.
Many a young man wears powder
marks who never saw service at the
front.
A man is as old as he feels but
a woman is as young as she can get
by with.
Every man may have his price
but marked-down goods are
seldom cheap.
More craftsmanship and less
politics would solve our national
problems in short order.
It may be all right never to spoil
a good notion-but it frequently
pays to look 'em over.
Just about the time when a
man gets old enough to appreciate
life, he's too old to enjoy it.
You may write a thousand
good deeds on ife's blackboard,
but one misdeed will erase them
all.
Apparently some young fellows
have chosen for their motto: DO as
little as you can and get by"
There is woman bootlegger
in Ohio whose friends have for their
motto: with all her faults, we
love her still"
In days agone they spoke of

But that was before Ford flivvered
into the hall of fame.
Excuses are like silk stockings;
it is quite easy to see thru them
and quite embarrassing to have
too marked an effort made to see
thru them.

may be in bad shape but it's

THE SIP

With tongue as long as the path
of time and as sharp as a razor's
edge, with brain so small 'twould go
on a dime and never lap Ger the
edge, the gossip plies her nefarious
trade of Juggling about the town a
juicy story about some maid or the
errors of old man Brown. Nobody
really is ever sure that this bag in
human guise won't give them rep
that will endure till the stars desert
the skies. Whenever some erring
mortal slips and falls by the way
side drear, a smile of joy wrinkles
on her lips and reaches from ear to
ear; then out thru the town she
spryly sprints and waggles her Shiny
tongue, with racy stories and
smutty hints-oh, would that this
bag were hung. The good book
tells of place of woe where
sulphurous flames about and that
is just where the gossips go when we

Northern Wisconsin Deer Hunting
Attracts Outsiders.

Although deer hunting in Wiscon-
sin is expensive for those from out
side the state, the state conservation
commission announced that there
were 172 men from out of the state
cunning for the large game in
Northern Wisconsin.
The hunters for deer from outside
the state must pay a license fee of
$50. Counting expense of travel
the cost of license and other equip
ment and maintenance, Wisconsin
deer are costly to the Wisconsin
visitors.
Besides the men from other states
coming to Wisconsin to hunt deer
there are 400 from other states
licensed to shoot small game in the
state. These men are required to
pay a license Of $25.
There are about 1871 900 Wiscon-

LIE HURLEY WA11R PRoBLEk.


To the Citizens of hurley:
Municipal ownership Of the water
plant is Of vital Importance. For
thirty-two years the water supply
for the city has been under private
corporation control.
We have begged for extension of
water mains to several parts of
the city, but without success, and in
many cases our people had to put in
their own water lines at their own
expense.
Last year the city council took up
the water question and discussed it
thoroughly, and concluded to put it
before the people. The referendum
vote was in favor of municipal
ownership by a large majority.
The city thereupon purchased the
water mains and hydrants, but there
was no pumping station. The city
is still buying water from the city Of
Ironwood, but that situation is not
satisfactory to any one.
We must now get water supply,
with pumping station, of our own,
and be independent The city is
not in financial condition at present
to build a pumping station, and it is
important that the users of water
come forward and help in putting
the plan over The most satisfactory
plan seems to he one calling for the
issue of mortgage bonds, to be
sold to the citizens of Hurley.
These bonds would be secured by
mortgage on the new pumping sta
ton and present mains and
hydrants, and the revenue
derived from the operation of
the water system would be used
to pay off the bonds and interest as
same fall due. Therefore, it is up
to the users of water in this com
munity to come forward, and loan
to the city all the money they can
spare. When the city gets complete
control of the water system, you
will have a chance to extend mains
in all directions and accommodate a
good many who are still without
water.
You can see that the city has
already laid water mains in two
blocks-Poplar st. and Fifth Ave,
where several houses never had
water before. AT the present time
two more blocks on Second Ave,
north, are being supplied with water
mains, and this was never possible
before under private corporation
control.
At the present rates the water
plant could be operated at a good
profit, and all money returned in
five or six years, and probably
sooner, with interest.
Just think if the water supply
would be cut off, what hardship it
would be for every one of us-not
only for our daily consumption, but
for fire protection.
Insurance companies would cancel
policies or charge tremendous
premiums.
Therefore, do not wait to be called
| upon, but come forward and
subscribe all you can. You will
find subscription lists at the office of
the city clerk, and at each of the
local banks.
Respectfully,
Charles Bonino,
=. Lancer,
Herman Erspamer,
Water Committee for
city of Hurley.

Sometimes we publicly criticise
our officials for something they
have done. Then again it is some
thing they have failed to do that
calls forth our words of censure.
They are at fault for their errors,
and we are equally at fault for talk
ing about them instead Of to them.
When a public official is adopting
a course that is inimical to the public
veal the better thing to do is to 90
straight to him and state the case as
we see it.
If he is the right kind Of an Of
fetal he will listen to us and reason
with us, and be glad that we talked
to him instead of to others.
If he is not pleased to see US he is
not the man we want for the job, and

WOOD CARVING ANCIENT ART
Ample Evidence That Il Was Common
In the Earliest Days Of Egyp-
tian Sculpture.

Wood carving was common In very
early Egyptian sculpture. Some OF
the most realistic statues of the an
Client empire were carved In wood,
such as the so-called "Sheik-el- Beled'
and his wife, and a number of others.
Wood was a convenient ground for
polychromatic decoration; that Is,
treating the carved figure with thin
coating Of plaster upon which the art
list has placed his cOlors. This was
very popular among Egyptian artists.
In Greece wood carving probably was
the earliest form of archaic sculpture.
The later Greeks and Romans used IL
comparatively little, but among the
most remarkable works Of early Chris
tian sculpture are the carved wooden
doors Of Santa Sabina, Rome.
Wood carving was revived In the
Eleventh century In the north Of Eu-
rope-Scandinavia Germany and parts
of France. The material was not only
used In its native simplicity. but was
covered with canvas or cloth, stuc-
coed and painted. Wood carvings
formed the most important part Of
German sculpture In the Fifteenth and
Sixteenth centuries. and stone sculp-
ture was influenced oy II.
