DISPLAYS OF
OUTDOOR LIFE
Wisconsin's North Woods VIII Be
Portrayed at the National Out
door Exposition at Chicago.

Wisconsin viii dominate the
Second National Outdoor Life Ex-
position that is to be held in Chicago
the week Of May II. Cedar, pine,
balsam and spruce trees, trailing
arbutus and ground pine, live game
and fish will convert the Coliseum
into a replica of the North Woods in
summer. Camps will be reproduc-
ed in miniature and live game and
fish will be shown against their
native background Of trees and
rocks. Resort men connected with
exhibits will dress as trappers and
lumber jacks to add realism to the
settings.
Resort men Of the Wisconsin North
Woods have adopted the slogan
"Wild life is our chief asset, our
best advertisement-con it"
The development of the resort
industry, it is pointed out by one of
the leading resort men, means more
to the state in actual wealth than any
other industry because the vacation
list and summer tourist bring money
into the state and take nothing out
but pleasant memories, while dairy
men, lumbermen, farmers and other
state-builders must ship the products
of the soil out Of the state before
any money can come back.
Among the communities to be re-
presented at the exposition either by
civil or private interests are: Amigo,
Brentwood, Campbellsport, Eagle
River, Elkhart Lake, Flambeau
Indian Reservation, Hayward, Lake
Geneva, Mercer. Minocqua, Phelps,
Pelican Lake, Plum Lake, Rice Lake,
State Line, Pewaukee Lake and
Fifield.
Exhibits of real estate men will
set for the advantages of land for
summer homes, resort hotels,
agricultural lands suitable for truck
gardens which must necessarily
multiply as the resort business grows,
and those specially adapted to the
raising Of foxes, skunks, muskrats,
mink and other wild game that is
raised profitably in captivity. Fur
farming not only provides a profit
able business, but pleasant occupa-
ton for those whom doctors or
personal inclinations demand life in
the open.
Exhibits win be shown from many
of the northern Wisconsin I'D game
farms and practically all the leading
reereational centers in the north and
many in the southern part of the
state have taken space at the exposi-
ton and are arranging to put on
elaborate displays of outdoor life.

AuTILE TALK ON THRIFT
By S. W. STRAUS
Pre- sident Of American Society for Thrift

''l'he United States has the highest
/ percentage of illiteracy among en-
/ liglitened nations in the world"
One finds this amazing statement
il a report issued by the National
Education Association after survey
Of illiteracy conditions throughout
/ the civilized world. The percent
age Of illiteracy in the United States
! is given as 60; among other nations
it is France, 40; England and Wales
Is; Scotland, 10; Sweden and
Norway, 10; Netherlands, g;
/ Denmark, 2.
The number of absolute illiterates
is officially given as 100000, but
it has been estimated that there are
from 100000 to 100000 adj
ditional persons whose education is
so limited as to make it practically
impossible for them to discharge
inteIligently their duties as citizens
in the democracy. No less than 24.9
per cent of our young men are so
limited in their command of the
English language that they are
unable to read newspapers or write
letters.
The late Franklin K. Lane, while
Secretary of the Interior, estimated
that our country is losing 1925, 000,-
900 a year through illiteracy. He
stated that 10 per cent of our coun-
try folks cannot read or write, thus
cutting them off from the benefits
of bulletins on agriculture, farm
publications, newspapers, etc.
According to educational auth
critics illiteracy at its present rate of
decrease will continue to be a
national problem in the United States
for the next 100 years.
Such widespread illiteracy in a
nation which counts it's wealth at a
figures in excess of $300,000,0
900 is manifestation of public
thriftlessness.
This loss cannot be computed by
any material standard, and, as to it's
moral and mental aspects, one is
forcibly reminded of Addison's
words: "The philosopher, the saint,
the hero, the wise, the good, the
great man, very often lies concealed
in a plebeian whom proper education
might have disinterred and brought
to life. !"

THE KNoCKER.

Everybody hates the knocker with
hate that's fierce and wild-long
to land good old socker on the spot
his hair is piled For about the
land he totters, with his plants so
punk and raw, til men yearn to take
their swatters and ge-bust him on the
jaw. Of this class old Reuben
Geary surely cops the major prize
for he makes the people weary with
his knocks of goodly size; naught is
right-the whole creation is a
mockery and a sham-we're a bum,
decadent nation and not worth a
tinker's dam. So he peeves and so
he grouches thru the hours of every
day-e'en when mortals seek their
touches, still his peeking hold full
sway. When some worthy move is
brewing with view to aid the town,
Reuben starts his piffling stewing-
rams morosely up and down; knocks
the project from all angles, knocks
the ones who back the play; starts a
thousand petty jangles, puts OBJ
structions in the way. Why the
Lord permits his living is a problem
deep as debt and thereIl be a glad
Thanksgiving when old Satan gets
his pet. When old Geary has been
planted twenty feet beneath the sod,
no regrets will e'er be chanted for
this wriukled-visaged fraud. Take
lesson from old Geary--trade your
hammer for horn; help to make the
old world CHEEKY when you croak
the folks will mourn,

PHILOSOPHY

Lickum Upp says that these are
gloomy times because most people
are out of spirits.
The best you can get is usually a
whole lot better than you deserve.

new leaf, but lots of people ought to
start a new book.
