GOOD FELLOWS MAKE HAP
PTNFSS

Several good fellows of this
town have not forgotten they wero
once boys. They shouldered their
snow shovels and before they were
stacked again. a liberal space had
been cleared Of snow on the Bara-
boo river above the high bridge.
Not only that, but they frlnged
the >space with discarded Christ
mas trees, the touch of evergreen
adding to the beauty and fulfilling
other purposes as we'll
Here the boys and girls Of the
town, after a busy day with books
ana Rotations, will be able to
glide the hours away, getting
fresh air, speed and the Joy Of be-
ing out Of doors. Children love to
hop in where pleasure waits and
here they may have delicious,
wholesome and graceful exercise
on a crystal bridge over the river.
AS long as the surface faces a
fair sky the playing place provid-
Cd by the good fellows will remain
popuiar 1t was happy thought.
When these boys and girls have
reached mature estate they will
look back with kindly reflections
to the Baraboo good fellows who
did not forget there were youths
today just as there were in times
agone. There always should be
plenty of winter Fairgrounds for
children. 1t is fine idea. Make
this a happy world.

WHEN YOU ARE DRIFTING

Don't give up. That IS the IN
DERIVING philosophy of a success
full fight when ones bodily exist
enee is threatened by disease, says
Harold Bell Wright, who tells the
story of his own battle against tu-
berculosfs. Menaced for years by
ineipient lung trouble, the novelist
met with an accident that caused
an active development Of the di-
sease. On the advice Of his doc
tor he pitched his tent on the Ari-
iona desert alone, except for a
negro cook and man of all work.
In the critical days that followed,
when it seemed he could not win,
he kept always before him the
manuscript OF an unfinished story.
That novel must be written and he
must have the strength. 1t was
completed in due time, and today
this story writer, well and strong
as a range rider, has many more
All this is perfectly natural and
books in the making.
James Oliver Curwood, lying for
days with broken leg on a mount
ain ledge in the wilds Of Canada,
found in little flower that grew
out from that ledge the inspiration
which enabled him to hold to life.
When again he was able to travel
he plucked that flower and took it
with him; it had become a part of
his existence.
1t may be book, a picture, a
view from window, some unfin-
ished work, or a great love for an
other that enables you to hold on
when you are drifting. Whatever
it is, anchor to it. For that thing
will help you forget yourself and
so long as you forget your courage
will not fail.-Milwaukse Journal.

THE OLD MAN AND THE BOY

An old man who had become a
sort of public character in Mil
waukee died at the house Of cor
rection. One hundred and twenty
times he had been sentenced to
that institution at his own re-
quest. To him it was home, the
only home he had known since he
became a vagrant.
One cannot contemplate the life
Of that old man-an honest fail
ure-Without a resolve to tackle
anew and with determination the
boy problem of the modern city
There are as many sides to that
problem as there are to boy life.
There is the underprivilged child,
who has little outlook unless he
gets help from someone; the child
who is underequipped mentally
and physically and who Will be-
come a burden to society unless
he receives very special assistance;
the child in vicious surroundings
who may become an enemy of Soc
iety.
In recent years several mems or
CARNATIONS have adopted programs
to reach these classes Of boys. Not
long ago q children's foundation
was established to study the child,
its nature and its needs. Now and
then we find a citizen who Is in
dividually carrying out plan to
put some boy on his feet.
The man or woman who does
something for boys is building the
community as much as if he erect
ed skyscrapers or vast public
buildings. Among the boys of
Milwaukee are scores and hundreds
who, according as the start is
given them, win be useful citizens
Or like that old man dying alone,
his only home the house of correc-
ton.

ONE HALF CENTURIES OLD

The idea of fire insurance is 258
years old. 1t was originated by
DR.. Nicholar Barbon, Following the
tremendous oonflagration that de-
vastated London in 1866 and has
since become interviewer with the
whole fabric of society.
The public seldom stops to real
lie that without insurance against
fire, commerce in it's modern pro-
portions could never have become
q fact, since it is based on credit
that insurance safeguards against
disaster. Nor could our enormous
cities have been built because no
one would lend money on real es-
tate unless the security for his
loan were adequately protected.
Fire insurance constitutes a
method whereby the contributions
of the many indemnify the compar
atively few who suffer loss, and IN
safeguarding enterprise and thrift.
