Shifting Commerce.

When you hoard money away,
you assist in stiffling the COM
mercial activity of your home com
munity as we'll as the whole coun-
try at large.
If you put it in the bank, the
banker lends it to someone who
uses it to produce something. That
keeps other people at work and
keeps the money in circulation.
If you lend it on a mortgage or
buy bonds, it serves the same pur-
pose. 1t keeps circulating and ev-
erybody is benefited.
When money keeps moving, it
enables many people to move.
And the fellow who can't move
ahead is in sorry straits.
The dollar that is hidden away
is in a bad place.
If you have any such dollars,
bring them from their hiding
place and put them to work.-Ex.

ITS AGE IS SEVENTY-SIX
Wisconsin Celebrates Her An
niversary This Year.

Wisconsin, in celebrating the
seventy-sixth anniversary of It's
admission to the Union, is remind
ed that it is reaching upward to-
ward a century of history as a
state.
The Milwaukee Journal says it's
progress in these 76 years has been
so remarkable that it is likely to
forget that a still longer period
lies behind that statehood. For
from the time when Jean Nicolet
set foot on Wisconsin's soil in 1884
to the Inauguration of Nelson
Dewey as the states first governor
was a span of 214 years. That was
the period Of preparation, the
marshaling of forces on which
statehood was builded, and we
must take it into account in any
estimate of our progress.
We need to take into account
another factor-the extent to
which we have exploited our ma
tural resources in erecting the
commonwealth we have. Our 3O5,-
391 people of 1850 have increased
to 2,632,067; we have risen from
the poverty of the frontier to a
wealth of $7,866,081, 900; we have
developed transportation and COM
munication lines that are a marvel;
we have made social progress; we
are building cultural state. Yet
on what have we builded? On the
wealth we have taken from our
forests, our waters, our soil. To
the extent to which we have
drawn on that capital we have
mortgaged the future.
Right here is where true conser-
walton of every type comes IN
Men who ask for conservation

Health Center Day, June 26th.


The regular monthly Health
Center Day of the Villas County
Mother and Baby Health Center
will be held at the Court House,
Eagle River, Thursday June 26th,
from 9 A. M. to 5 P. M. DIR. l.
Dresel will be in charge, assisted
by the county and health center
nurses.
The usual free examinations will
be offered to prospective mothers
and to- children under six years of
age. During the summer months,
an effort is to be made to hold
health conferences at different
points throughout the county.
Sayner is to have a special center
day this month. 1t is requested
however that as many mothers
and babies who can come to the
regular center at Eagle River con-
tinue to do so, in this way COM
munities more distant may be Civ
en- special work.
Many mothers as yet do not
realize the opportunity offered to
ascertain the physical condition of
their children nor the help the
center may be to them in main
tanning the children in a good
condition Of health. Health super
vision for the prospective mother
and the child under the age of six
is being advised and practiced by
the entire world, and with the
establishment of county health
centers, providing free medical in
spection and advice, the country
mother has the same advantage as
the city mother for consultation
and advice. Health Center super
vision is keeping many babies well
throughout the state and it is to
be hoped that now that good wea-
Their is here, the attendance at the
Villas County Center will include
every child under the age of six
years.
