Many Old Relics Of Pioneer
Days Are Going Out Of The
Prairie du Chen Region

VIII Prairie du Chen ever CAPT
talize on it's historical places and
things? asks the Courier of that
city. There are priceless posses
sions in this city that ought to be
preserved for future generations
that they too may see and know
how our forefathers made their
homes in the wilderness. This
place was an only settlement in
the frontier of the northwest with
it's nearest neigbbor more than
800 miles away in the early days
of civilization. There are still sew
eraI places with century old his
tory that could be preserved to
posterity and be taken over by
some organization as a memorial
or museum of the pioneer days.
Green Bay has just a little ser
iority over Prairie du CHEN, bat
the people there have left no his
toric building, authentic relic or
hallowed ground to go unmarked
and are proud of the first; bould-
ers of native rock with memorial
inscriptions are met on every hand
Prairie du CHEN has but one
such marking.
The great historical collection
at Madison has scads of relics that
should be in a collection in Prairie
du CHEN and every year more are
going there for want os j secure
place 70 keep them here; and relic
hunters not only from various
parts of the United States but Eur
ope are alert for a copper or other
instrument Of the early days.
There are scads of old relics
that people of this vicinity would
be glad to put into a public place
for the enjoyment of all.

Milwaukee Compared to Wis
consin, Florida is one horse
proposition in future development
possibilities, John Kelly, Baraboo,
said in a speech to 400 cheese
makers at the Auditorium.
wisconsin is a potential gold
mine, he said. 1.-THE only diff
ference between it and Florida is
that the country has heard about
Florida while Wisconsin is stll
unexpIored territory to the major
ity of Americans"
For one hour, Mr.. Kelly, who
unites The occupations of farmer,
lawyer and advertiser, told his
audience what he thought oil their
present business methods, and ur-
ged the development of the state
He was speaking before delegates
to the annual convention of the Wis
consin Cheesemakers' association.
Mr.. Kelly, starting with a dis
cussion of production Of milk, said
few things calculated to make
the thickest- skinned farmer in the
auditorium squirm. After he had
drained his vocabulary Of all the
agricultural vituperation it con-
tanned he started on the cheese
makers. And when the cheese
makers were about ready to howl
for mercy, lie discussed Wiscon
sin as a state. This covered con
siderable territory.
Says Industry Sleeps
And the crowd apparently liked
it. Mr.. Kelly's statements, in brief
were to the effect that the Wis
consin cheesemaking industry is
asleep on its feet and doesn't
know it. In a talk, fairly bristling
with epigrams, the speaker de-
clared that cheesemaklng in the
state and agriculture in so far as
its connection with the cheesemak
ing industry is concerned, have

speaker.

WASTE IN INDUSTRY

In New York city, under the direc
ton of the National Civic Federation,
a notable meeting was recently held.
Employers and representatives of
wage earners gathered around the
table to discuss the question of elm
mating industrial friction and indus
trial waste.
President William Green, of the
American Federation of Labor, sat
with cabinet officials and represen-
tatives of great employing interests.
There was general desire ex-
pressed for helpful, constructive oper-
alton between all parties for the elm
ination of wasteful methods and
practices.
The question of waste in industry is
one that is important in every under
taking. Those to whom the question
4
| is not one of almost constant study
have no idea of the amount of labor
and material that is wasted each
working day.
| Standardization has done much
within the past two years to reduce
waste Better industrial relations
have helped.
| But there is tremendous room for
improvement. There is waste or
every hand Poorly built gasoline
motors waste enormous quantities of
gasoline each day. So it is in every
industry. 1t is like pouring money
down a sewer.
By all means, let the scientists tell
US how waste may be checked. HUI
man effort and good material are too
precious to wsate when waste can be
stopped

ALL SERENE ALONG
THE POTOMAC

Contemplate, in these days of gen.
tie spring breezes and budding flow
ers, the political situation as it pre-
sents itself. For nine months
President Coolidge has been sitting
on the report of the tariff commission
calling for reduction in the import
on sugar. Something in the way of
relief ought to have Matched in that
period, but the people have paid some
$53,000,000 at the rate of 100000
a day in higher prices for that COM
modify.
Two Of the three members Of the
majority which submitted that report
have gone their way, to be replaced
by men who, it is confidently expected,
will not push the matter of reducing
the tariff.
So, while the president continues
to tell the newspapermen that he re-
quires more time TO consider the mat
ter, the beet sugar barons whose lob
byists are so plentiful in Washington
and whose delegates were so plentiful
