the abdominal muscles by lying
on your back and raising first the
legs and then the head.

"Inquisitive" wonders whether all
married folk, especially women. feel
that way.
Well, they probably do, at times,
no matter how happily married they
may be. So perverse is human ma
ture that it always is crying for the
moon, and then, when it gets it,
would like to chuck it and go back
to it's old rubber ball.
But, would these wives and hus-
bands, if they should find themselves
in what they now believe to be sin
gle blessedness'' again, be happy?
Probably not. Those who are
freed" usually don't stay that way.
And those who express a wish to
be single again don't even mean it,
as a rule. It's just natural for them
to think they want what they don't
have. It's habit left over from the
times they cried for the moon.

Behind in Crops.

Northern Wisconsin is fully a
month backward in it's crops, al
though, if the balance of the
growing season is favorable, it
will not injure the harvest mater
tally next fall. One very good
condition has been the copious
rains throughout the spring sea
son Apple trees have not blossom
ed; some of the cherry and plum
trees are in full bloom; lilacs,
which have always been in full
blossom by Memorial Day, this year
at this time, June 5, are just in
bud
In Marathon county the trees
are already we'll leaved out, but
north of Tomahawk only buds are
in evidence, and it will take some
weeks yet to brighten up the nor
thern region to it's full glory of
green woods for the enjoyment of
tourists and natives both.
1t is indeed a backward season.
From now on it is a guess as to
whether dry, warm weather, severe
storms or too much rain will not
work to give us very poor crops,
But such conditions only come a
few times in the life of an indi-
vidual.- Wausau Pilot.

Our Coming Citizens.

About this time a great army
creator thar that drafter for the
World War-composedo of the most
progressive youth of the nation,
is going forth from the schools
and colleges into the higher duties
OF life going somewhere.
Among these young people are
some who are destined to fill the
most important positions of trust
within the gift of the people
leaders of men and leaders of
women. Then there are some who
will stumble by the wayside-who
are deficient in vision, in incentive,
in desire.
Schooling doesn't give to you new
or other talents, only increasing
facilities for using them. Having
been trained and disciplined to
think and to act along the definite
lines, you can, when you get in
to the world follow lines of action
as you were taught to follow lines
of thought.
All the schooling man may
get in University will not make
him master of a trade or profess
sion. No matter what his name,
his wealth or social standing he
must get into the push, and push
push hard and persistently. If
there is anything you really want
to know the only thing you have
to do is to get it and chase it
hotly and persistently, even relent-
lessly, and you will drive it to
cover in due time.
What the world wants is men
who have principle underlying
their experiences, principle under
their law, their medicine, their
business, men who stand for some
thing outside of their offices and
stores, who stand for something
in their community, whose pres
ence carries weight. No substitute
has ever yet been discovered for
Honesty. Multitudes of people
have gone to the wall trying to
find one.
Let the Youth of today set be-
fore himself high ideals of honor,
of integrity, of true manhood and
womanhood, and then patiently set
to work confident in his ability to
face every issue, to extract success
even from apparent failure.

Smile. Rather than Frown.

When God created man in his
own image, he gave him the pow
er to smile with the use of only
thirteen facial muscles, while he
must use sixty-fve muscles for a
first class frown.
We render tribute to smiles in
money paid for seeing them, in
money paid for being made to
smile. We follow the men and
women who smile and we follow
them willingly.
And then we forget all about
the great value to US of our own
smile, and almost before our faces
have relaxed from the reciprocal
smile another person brings to our
countenance, we allow our mouth
corners to droop and we go about
our affairs with frowns of gloom.
People pay money to see their
favorites smile in the movies.
They pay money to see smiles on
the living stage. They pay money
to be made to smile. But the
smiles of screenland and the smiles
of the stage, even the smiles of
the audience, are only occasional
smiles. The great thing is the
everyday, day-long smile of the
man in business, the man in the
street, the woman in the home or
in whatever occupation she may
assume.
All the great influence, the
magnetism of compelling person
atty, the pulling power of our in
dividuality, the pleasing force that
is within us, may be used if we
will tame our faces and teach
them to smile when smile
counts, and that is much Of the
time.
We have the world at our feet
when we smile.

Service On The jury.

Jury service is one of the first
duties of citizenship, but it is one
of the last duties the average citi-
zen is willing to perform.
Men of character and ability
who possess the natural qualifica-
tions necessary to the rendering
of fair and intelligent verdicts
will go to great lengths in order
to evade service on a jury.
Yet they will criticize the judg-
ment of those who are willing to
serve.
Mr.. Average Citizen feels that
he can not afford to neglect his
business interests in order to spend
two or three days, or perhaps a
week, in a jury box at small pay
The financial sacrifice such SER
vice entails is barrier between
him and his duty to his commun-
ity. He forsakes duty in his at
tempts to evade making the sac
rifice.
In far too many cases this atti-
tude fills the jury box with men
who are not fitted morally or in
tellectually to perform their duties
without fear or favor.
The result is spread broadcast
over the country in the form Of
criminality that is difficult tt
check and that increases the ta1
burden.
The law of nature requires that
we reap as we SOW, and even now
we can hear the hum of the reap
er-Ex.

Learning and Booze.


Young college men are condemn
ed when they drink Intoxicating
liquor, but DIR. Nicholas Murray
Butler, president Of Columbia uni
versity, was allowed to go scot
free of criticism for several days
when he made the extraordinary
statement extraordinary for a
university president t h at h e
liquor business should be licensed
and permitted again legally to
take up it's trade Of producing
human derelicts.
1t is little wonder that the
eighteenth amendment and the
Volstead act are Haunted by sup
posedly selfrespecting people when
men of the standing Of Dr. Butler
publicly proclaim that they are in
favor of the open saloon.
DIR. Charles w. Elliott of Har-
ward took UP the gauntlet against
DR.. Butler, but it remained for
the virile, rugged educational lead
ers of the middlewest to leap into
the controversy and take a mill
tant stand in favor of prohibition.
"The prohibition law can be en-
forced said one. "The more rig
idly it is enforced, the fewer in
fractions there will be-"
To say that it can not be en-
forced is equivalent to admitting
that the American people are men
tally incapable of enacting laws
for their own government and
lack the moral stamina necessary
for enforcement of the laws which
they have enacted.
1t would have been a great dis
appointment to millions Of drys
throughout the United States if
college and university presidents
had permitted DIR. Buffers asper-
sions cast at the eighteenth
amendment, to have gone unchal-
lenged.
They deserve challenging and
DR.. Butler deserves a rebuke. No
man who believes that a law, en-
acted in accordance with the res
trictions laid down by the consti-
tuition Of the United States, should
be in position which gives
weight to his opinions and which
may influence college men and
women

THIS is BONUS FACTS
World War Veterans are Told
What to Do in the Matter.


If you are a World War veteran
entitled to the bonus, here is what
you should do
Get an application blank, which
will be distributed through the
post offices, Legion posts and
other agencies.
Fill out the blank and mail it
to the war department or navy de-
partment.
The application will contain sew
eral questions which must be an
swered to the best of the appli-
cant's ability.
1t also will have a. place for re-
cording the finger prints so they
can be compared with those taken
during the war.
Do not write for application
blanks. Unnecessary letters al
ways create confusion.
Read carefully the instructions
on the application blank.
Do not pay any fees other than
the notary charge The law pro-
hibits any person charging fee
for assistance in collecting the
compensation
Do not write to the war depart
ment for any information requir-
ed by the blank. If the individual
has not the information he should
supply it as best he can from mem
DRY.
Mail application blanks in the
envelope which will be distributed
at the same time.
Having forwarded his applica-
ton, there is nothing further for
the veteran to do. In due time he
will receive an insurance certifi-
cate, the amount of which will be
computed by the government
agencies, or, if the amount due
him is $50 or less will receive a
check for the cash.
No cash payments will be made
prior to March l, 1925, and adjust
ed service certificates or insurance
will be dated Jan. l, 1925, if the
application is made prior to that
date.
The face value of the insurance
policy to be received at the end
of twenty years can be figured by
consulting the table of factors
below. Here is the way to COM
pute what is due:
A veteran who is 80 years old at
the time his policy is issued (Jan.
1, 1925, and who would be en-
titled to the maximum amount of
overseas credit 1925 would be
entitled to a policy equal to S625
plus $156.25 (one-fourth of that
sunni multiplied by 2,517 or
1,966.4O.
The Frederic Walsh Post of
this city will assist all Legion men
in filing out their applications.
All applicants should bring their
discharge papers when coming to
file applications.
Gen. Hines gives the following
directions for the use of the fac
tors.
Allow 81 per day for each day
of home service.
Deduct $50 from this sum.
Multiply the balance by the fac
tor opposite the age (nearest
birthday as shown in the table
below.
The result will be the amount
of the adjusted service certificate.
AS an example:
Age at date of issue, 27.
Home service, IT'S days.
| Overseas service, 10 days.
One hundred and seventy-five
minus 60, times 81, equals $115.
One hundred and ten times $125
equals $3.50
Adjusted service credit, $25250.
1882 factor at age of 81, $252.50
service credit multiplied by 1882
equals $639.33
| S63933 is the adjusted Service
Certificate
