Christmas Is Coming.

Christmas is coming around again
that blessed day when all refresh
themselves with the friendships they
have made; Christmas, when the
dross Of life sinks and only the best
in folks shine forth.
Charles Dickens said Of Christmas
time:
u have always thought Of Christ
mas time, when it has come around,
as a good time, a kind, forgiving,
charitable, pleasant time, the only
time L know Of in the long calendar
of the year, when men and women
seem by one consent to open their
shut-up hearts freely. And, there
fore though it has never put a scran
Of gold or silver in my pocket, oe-
leve that it has done me good, and
will do me good and ] say, God bless
it"
And as it did Dickens good, it has
done countless other millions Of
Christian lands good; it has brought
out the best in men and women be-
cause it has aroused in their breasts
a desire to serve.
For, after all, the happiest Christ
mas is the one that you make for
someone else, for the little child
whose faith in Santa Claus has never
been shaken.
OF course, there are always SONS
gumps who grumble about Christmas
They do not get the Christmas spirit
because they do not realize that il
comes from within; that it is the
thing they give and not what theJ
receive that makes Christmas.

INDUSTRIAL PROSPECTS GOOD
FOR NEXT YEAR
State Industrial Commission Predicts
Increased Activity for Wisconsin
Industry.

Observation-Disclosures industry is
slated for boom next year, the
state industrial commission an
nounces, with reports from all sec
lions of the state showing expected
greater activity along most lines in
1925 than in 1924.
There is no lack Of optimism re-
garding industrial prospects for 1925
and in some cases we feel that
little caution in forecasting needs to
be exercised" for commission de-
clared in its report in which it de-
clares that employment conditions
are gradually improving.
IF improvement in metal working,
woodworking and many other lines
materialize in accordance with fore
casts, we feel that skilled labor other
than building tradesmen would be in
greater, demand than during 1924.
The building program for both pri-
vate and public projects for the state
as a whole seems to be quite a little
greater for 1925, than for the past
year and one may expect that the
employment Of building tradesmen Of
all classes will at least equal this
years record. The change in CON
struction methods and arrangements
to permit the building operations to
be started earlier in the spring and
to be carried Oh later in the fall
despite cold weather are lengthen-
ing the construction season.

To Make Wisconsin
Vacation Land
Americas Summer Vacation Land Is
Goal Set by the Wisconsin
Land o'Lakes, Inc.

| Rhinelander-official announce
ment was made today by the Wiscon
sin The Land 0'Lakes, Inc, of
movement to make Wisconsin one of
the greatest summer vacation lands
in America. The movement includes
campaign to be conducted in all
counties of the state to raise an
advertising fund by securing 5000
members throughout the state and to
bring about general cooperation in
rendering satisfactory service to
the summer tourists
At the last annual meeting which
was held in October in the city Of
Milwaukee, a vice president was
elected for each Of the 80 counties
that had affiliated themselves with
the association during the past year.
The work of the campaign for 5000
members will be largely conducted
through these vice presidents and the
other 32 counties will be asked to CO.
operate in this movement and will
be visited by group of boosters for
Wisconsin during the winter months.
The officers Of the association are
hopeful that spirit of cooperation
will be given by the citizens through
out the state during this campaign.
The movement is broad in scope and
is believed to be the largest under
taking of its kind every attempted
in any state
Its success is based upon the gem
eral cooperation of the men and
women, of leapership throughout the
state of Wisconsin.
Burt Williams, newly elected ne
sident of the organization believes
that this movement which the Land
O'Lakes is backing, means new era
Of progress and development for the
entire state. Wisconsin, with its
natural advantages is not surpassed
by any section of America" says Mr..
Williams. but there has been no or
ganized effort to acquaint the people
Of America with these advantages.
We have seen what California has
done through it's Californians, Inc.
and the All-Year-Around- Club Of
Southern California and what Miehi.
gan, Minnesota, Colorado and
Florida and other sections have done
through organization. Wisconsin
can do as much or more and believe
that with the solid foundation we
have now that we can look forward
to seeing Wisconsin develop more
rapidly into the greatest recreation
al center of America.
Through a spirit of cooperation,
much more will result than simply
increasing the tourist business. Our
cities and towns will prosper and
there will be great increase in in
dustry and agricultural production.
believe this movement will give an
opportunity for our people to act
togethei such as they have never had
before end knowing the citizenship
Of Wisconsin as l do, | believe

The Knieker Fad.

Professor Shaw of New York
university warns men to avoid
knickers or democracy will 90 to the
bow-wows.
His logic is that a man may wear
Knockers with propriety on the golf
links or while hunting, but that they
are taboo any other time; that If "A
man puts on overalls, he is dressed
for labor; If he dons a sack suit. he
means business, and If he appea IS
in abbreviated breeches, it is ey-
dent he means to play or pose
However true this may be, democ-
racy is not in any grave danger d
extinction by the knickerbocher fad.
It might seem serious in New
York City, where those who play
and pose are prominent, but out in
the wilds Of America outside New
York, we have nothing to fear.
II a man has plump legs ana
nice assortment Of stockings OF
many hues, and enjoys wearing

He doesn't do it long out in the
