A Call From The North.

A call comes out of the northland
asking the people Of all Wisconsin
to aid in saving the lake fronts. Up
there, in those northern rows Of
counties, they know what this battle
for the conservation Of the last of
our natural resources means. Their
game protective associations and
their rod and gun clubs are active.
They know that when the last lake
shore has been denuded or has
passed into private ownership, the
last muskellunge pulled over the
side Of the boat and the last deer
stalked to his death, Wisconsin will
have lost its heritage.
But, to speak plainly, that same
feeling does not possess the rest Of
the state. The people in the south
ern and central sections have seen
the boundary of the wilderness
pushed farther and farther north.
To them it has meant that they must
travel a little farther each year for
an outing. And that is not much of
hardship in these days of the auto
mobile. If that boundary were
pushed clean out of the state they
would just add few more miles to
their annual drive
But if these same apathetic Sec
tons were to let that happen they
would realize that the loss meant
much more than a day added to
journey As a state we want to be
known as the playground of the
middle west. TO be that we must
have wild life and wild places We
don't need wilderness all over the
state, or deer in every county or
muskies in every lake. But we do
need enough of those things to add
the call of the wild to our other at
fractions. They are our best
insurance against that tameness
which has caused people to pass by
recreation districts in other states.
We haven't any too much of the
wild life and none too many of the
really desirable wild places left. But
we shall have fewer of these places
next year, and the next. The situa-
ton demands action. And as a
basis for that action we should have,
we must have, an awakening by the
people of all the state that this
matter of conservation is a state
problem Milwaukee Journal.

To Whom Honor l. Duo.

The Urited States observes few
holidays compared with European
and Latin-American countries.
Yet there are prosaic souls who
think we stop to often-that we
pause all too frequently to renew
our devotion to our national heroes,
to whose courage and patriotism we
owe our national existence.
February, of all the months in the
year, is especially significant, be-
cause within this brief space of time
fall the birthday anniversaries of
two whose memories we must revere.
The nation has honored them un-
stintingly, for who deserves more
than Washington, whose leadership
made possible a republic that had a
mission to fulfill, and Lincoln, whose
stalwart Americanism preserved the
same republic for a greater and bet
ter day.
AS we approach the time when their
birthdays are celebrated, let us re-
consecrate ourselves to the same
ideals rs those to which the Father
of our country chung when he suf-
fered the privations of Valley Forge
and to which the Savior of our coun-
try steadfastly held when the suf-
ferings of a people. divided one
against the other, weighed heavily
upon him.-EX.

Petitions.

Not so long ago petition ten
miles long, bearing the names of
345,546 people, was presented to
congress.
1t matters little what the petition
was for. The point is that congress
is petitioned so often that one seldom
creates a ripple on the surface of the
placid capitol.
To a politician nothing is quite
so funny as a petition, or resolu-
ton which amounts to the same thing
It is the favorite outdoor sport Of
a large class of our so-called good
citizens. They take it seriously.
But the hardened politician? He
knows a petition is little more than
the letting go of mental pressure, the
exhaust pipe of the over-worked
business man.
He is well aware that resolutions
and petitions are solemnly read,
widely acclaimed through the public
press, invariably -,opted with a
loud aye vote-and very soon
forgotten
The politician can afford to take
time to read them when they come in
from the home district. He knows
they express the sentiment of the
people of that locality for the mo-
ment, aud he also knows that very
few vi the petitioners or the resolv-
ers will be out on primary day, when
political power is given birth.
He has been in the game long
enough to know that until people
take an active part in politics, ac-
tually join a political party and have
something to say about its conduct,
petitions and resolutions are the
least of his worries--except thai
they take certain amount of
time -Ex.

Lent Begins Late.

The calendar for 1924 reveals a
number of interesting things among
which is the fact that Feb. 20, the
extra day added by Leap Year, falls
on a Friday.
Lincoln's birthday. the first
semi-holiday of the year, will fall
on a Tuesday, Washington's birth
day, bank holiday, on Friday
and St. Valentines day all in the
month of February, on Thursday,
Ash Wednesday, the first day of
Lent, will not come until March
II, the latest date in many years.
Easter Sunday accordingly will
not come until a month after
spring. or on April 90 Election
will be on April 1. All Fools day.
Decoration day and the Fourth
of July, both of which were cele-
brated on Wednesday last year,
take a jump by reason of Leap
Year and land on Friday this year,
which still is not late enough to
give anglers a two day vacation.
Labor day comes on Sept. / and
Thanksgiving day will occur on
Nov 81. Christina will come on a
Thursday.
Although there are hut so Sun
days there will be % Tuesdays,
Workers who are paid on Satur-
days will have five paydays in the
months of March, May. August and

PHILOSOPHY
BY Uncle bud.

Uncle bud Says: "These are the
days when home is simply a place to
change your clothes and your mind.
Lots of men never go to church
until they are carried there feet
first-and then they are in no posi-
ton to appreciate the good singing"
Why is it that the quietest man
usually wears the loudest ties.
Taxes may be lowered-but do
not spend the saving until you
get it.
Yes, money talks. And the
first words it learns to say are.
Goodbye.
Bodied hair may be sanitary
but no great poem will ever be
written about it.
Boys once went out looking for
a job; now they are willing to

In olden days, chivalry was
all the go. Now the "shivery"
stuff has the boards.
Hard work may never have
killed anyone, mainly because it
has had so few chances.
She may make great fudge-but
it would be well to try her biscuits
before you propose.
Somehow we never know a man
until he runs for office. If he is
elected he never knows us again.
1t may be all right to win by
coming from behind, but it's lots
better to get out in front and
stay there.
In Ohio a man named Wringer
threw bucketful of black paint
over a fellow named Sudds. At

A college education has again
been weighed in the balance and

A scientist has just discovered
that the bedbug and mosquito

but the bedbug evidently belonged to

AuTTLE TALK ON THRIFT
By s. W. STRAUS
rzsident Of American Society for Thrift

Few people in this country realize
perhaps that we destroy by fire one
out of every eight new buildings we
erect, and that the same destructive
element causes a loss of forty lives
day.
These statements, startling in the
extreme, are based on the most re-
cent estimates of fire losses COM
piled by the National Board of Fire
Underwriters and authentic build
ing statistics. The report for 1922
now being compiled and to be com
pleted within a few weeks thus far
reveal total fire losses for that year
of more than 1921, 100000. When
completed they will show an even
larger total. The estimates do not
include fires on all farms. In many
rural districts Secretary of Agricul-
ture Wallace recently estimated
loses run to at least S50,00O,000
annually.
Inasmuch as new building opera
tions in this country in 1922 were
81, 100000, it will be seen that
on a conservative basis, our fire
losses amount to not less than 12-15
per cent Of our new building con-
struction.
Our per capita losses in 1918
were $3.36. In 1922 they had in
creased to $4.75. During the decade,
1912-1922, our total losses by fire
increased approximately 100 per
cent, and during the previous decade,
1902-1912, the total increase in fire
losses was a little less than 80 per
cent.
Our annual loss of life from fires
is in excess of $4,000 and is con-
tinually growing.
Students of fire conditions are
united in saying that most fires are
the result of sheer carelessness. The
prevention of fire is an important
phase of thrift, and all banks, schools
and other agencies which are en-
deavoring to promote thrift in this
country should give attention to
education in fire prevention.
| So great are our fire losses and so
rapidly are they increasing that they
are becoming an outstanding factor
n our economic situation and arc
adding to the general cost of living.
