Cutover Land Cheap; Taxes to Go
Unpaid.

That some of the big land com
panies of Wisconsin will this year
default on taxes Of their less inn
portant holdings, because of the low
prices that cutover lands now COM
mand, is the opinion of Elmer Grim
mer, head of the Grimmer Land Co,
and president of the Wisconsin Real
Estate Brokers' board and Of the
Matmette Chamber of Commerce.
Many of these land companies own
thousands of acres.
1T has been many years since it
has been SO hard to sell cutover lands
as now said MIR. Grimmer. with
the hard times that the farmers had
in 1921 and 1922 and the attractive
ness Of city life, it is practically i'm
possible to bring in new settlers on
land that must be cleared before it
can be farmed

A LITTLE TALK On THRIFT
By s. W. STRAUS
President Of American Society for Thrift

Many men and women are receiv-
ing salary increases at this period
of the year, and the present is an
opportune time to give thought 70
the matter of increasing ones saw
ings along with ones increased in
come.
win your enlarged salary for 1924
mean simply an advanced living
standard, or viii it mean also an
added amount Systematically saved?
In the final analysis it is not so
much what a man earns as what he
saves that makes him really content
ed and happy. He may earn
$4,000 a year and if he has saved
nothing he will be disconnected,
while a man who earns only $4,000,
if he has Systematically saved some
portion of that $4,000, has a feeling
of security and contentment that can
be obtained only with the processes
of saving. In other words, raising a
mans salary does not insure
happiness, unless that man saves at
least some portion of his increase
against futurewants.
Higher wages, or as might be
stated, inflated wages, will never
correct inflated living.
Sound and wholesome policies of
personal economics dictate that in
creased earnings should mean in
creased opportunities for saving as
well as increased opportunities for
spending.
The same principles apply in the
management of a business. A
concern may be large and doing an
extensive business, but if its increas-
ed volume is not accompanied by
corresponding upbuilding of assets or
reserves, it is not really making
progress.
The test of real success is thrift.
Neither in personal matters nor
in business can true progress be
made without it, no matter how
circumstances may make it appear
otherwise.

THE FouR-HouR DAY

The prediction Of DR.. Charles p.
Steinmetz, known for his ability to put
electric energy to work. that a cen
fury hence men win have contrived
to get the worlds daily Job done In
four hours, has provoked the discus
sion for and against the four-hour
day. Doctor Steinmetx had only to
review the Industrial history Of the
world since 1923. and TO invite atten-
tion to the remarkable discoveries Of
the last few years, to justify his pre-
dictlon. Few will question either the
prediction itself or his qualifications
for speaking on the subject with au-
thority. But It should not be assumed
that short working day means long
Ioafing day. No nation has ever got
far on the work OF slaves. II Is the
idle mind that turns 10 violence for
diversion, and the idle hand that gets
into difficulties with the law. But
routine toll, which requires little
thought and no exercise of inventive
skin, is not especially uplifting, and
1t Is this toIl--the chores Of the world
which Doctor Steinmetx believes
can be done in much less time than
now. He might well have said that
before 2023 men will have contrived
means Of doubling the output Of work
ers without demanding of them any
more Of their time. It Is unlikely that
any invention will divest men and
women OF the ambition to excel and
to explore. These are the whole
hearted workers.

oNToNAGoN CoUNTY's OLDEST
RESIDENT LAID TO REST
Daniel Harrington, Greenland's
Dear Old Man." Passed TO His
Reward Wednesday Morning.


The following account Of the
death and life Of Mr.. Harrington is
from the pen Of friend:
Mr. Harrington, Greenland's "Dear
Old Man." passed peacefully to his
reward last Wednesday morning.
Mr.. Harrington's death calls for
more than a passing comment. He
was born in a small town called
McRoon in the County Cork of
Ireland. April 81, 1921, when a
young man he joined a party of
emigrants bound for America. The
ship on which he sailed was so
tossed about by the wind that it was
three months crossing the Atlantic
ocean. On his arrival in this
country 20 years ago he staked a
homestead upon which the present
Duluth postoffice is built, but some
treaty with the Indians gave the
land back to the government. Sixty
nine years ago he came to Green
land, where he lived until his death
In 1863 he was married to Miss
Mary Nugent The wedding was
held at the home of Mr.. John Meade,
the Rev Father Fox performing the
ceremony. To this union five sons
were born, namely, John, Thomas,
Daniel, Michael and William; and
two daughters, Mrs. Frank Whitman
and Mrs. Israel LaMoine. Mrs.
LaMoine and William died some
years ago.
Although five score and four
years had passed over Mr.. Harring-
toms head, time had in no way
changed his sunny disposition. He
was a real pioneer of the early days,
and his home was the center of
hospitality to his friends. He was
a gentleman of the rarest kind,
lover of all that was good and
beneficial for others, an example of
true Christian, and his influence not
only was felt in the little town of
Greenland il which he lived, but in
the entire county and with others
with whom he came in contact.
During the past twenty years the
writer has frequently journied to his
home and spent many an enjoyable
evening. His fund of anecdotes
was inexhaustible, his power of
mimicry very remarkable and his
sense of humor unfailing. In his
home with sons who consulted with
him in all business matters he was
their counselor, director and advisor
until a few months before his death.
Coming to Greenland when it was
wilderness he gladly joined in any
movement for the betterment of his
home town. As a home-builder, a
father and loyal citizen he ranked
among the highest
When the news of his death was
flashed around the country many
WEIR the expressions of sorrow
were the expressions of sorrow
few months of being 104 years old he
had kept in touch with all his old
friends and his death was felt as a
personal sorrow. Let US, his
friends, think of him as a sacred
link drawing US heavenward. Mr..
Harrington was godfather to Mr..
Henry Meade, the well-known Hurley
real estate agent. Mr.. and Mrs.
Henry Meade, Mr.. and Mrs. James
Meade and William Meade attended
the funeral

New Markers Near Roadside.

The motto of the Wisconsin High
way commission, Serve the
Traffic" has developed decision to
change the highway markings from
telephone and telegraph poles to a
position close to the path of vehicles
This change is to bring the sign
where it can be seen at all times.
The old signs We're easily missed in
some cases, particularly at night,
and even when the sign was
observable the numbers were not
easily read. A supporting staff will
be provided, bearing the number of
the highway and letters to indicate
that the road is a part of the state
trunkline system. The design will
differ from the present marking in
that the black numbers of the road
will be larger and will stand out
more emphatically on the white back
ground.
The signs win be placed as close to
the vehicles path as practicable, to
be the more easily observed and read
by moving traffic. The expectation
is that some signs may be knocked
down in the course of a season, but
the serving of the traffic is the main
consideration.
Experience is never expensive if
IL is worth what IL cost.
