THRIFT is FOUNDATION

1t il doubtful IL there is anywhere
any real business success that does
not reach down to the fundamental
of thrift. We speak of financial gen
ius as though it We're sixth sense.
We allude to the great accomplish
ment of this or that man as though
the individual were endowed with
some rare power of foresight, some
gift of Decromancy, some deeply hid
den secret not within the possession
Of ordinary individuals. But what
ever of success we may attribute to
genius" investigation would no doubt
reveal that In each case success came
fundamentally as the result of thrift
In early life. 1t is said that the elder
Rockefeller as early as eight years OF
age was keeping a record Of each
penny earned and spent. 1t is not
through thrift that the daring plans
of our financial and industrial super
men are planned and executed, says
Thrift Magazine. But thrift Is the
only foundation upon which they can
stand-the only plan through which
any lasting material accomplishment
In life can be effected.
Uncle Sam is now taking official no

sent to mothers as notification that

JEWELRY OF OUR MINDS

Thiepvai; dead on the field of honor"
So reads an inscription over the site
where formerly stood Thiepval, but
where now lies heap of pulverized
masonry and blackened wood. A
New York newspaper suggests that
1t be left that way. It's the same
suggestion which would have the Bel
gians leave Cloth hall at Ypres q

of the terrors OF war But the Bel
CLANS themselves think differently on
that subject, says the Atlanta Con-
stitution. They want to rebuild, and
have partially rebuilt the Cloth hall
and the University of Louvain. They
want to wipe away all traces of that
terror which swept their country. And
In that way make contribution to
their faith in humanity and in their
hope that war shall be no more.

There is a lot of difference betwee

There is lot of difference between
thinking and worrying Every bust
ness man must spend much time
thinking-but he has no time for wor-
rying. Thinking develops ideas. 1t
plans big things. 1t builds. Thinking
Is constructive. 1t makes men strong.
But as soon as thinking becomes dis
organized, jumbled and confused, wor-
rying begins. Worry tears down, de
stroys, and weakens. 1t results from
a confused and shuffied mind or a
body in need of repair With a calm
mind and sound body, thinking does
not weaken a man. Worry is not the
result of thinking. 1t Is the result of
trying to think under the wrong con-
ditions.

Again we arise to remark: Lets have
public building for farmers market The
Miner has been accused of having Interior
motives in this demand and we frankly admit
that we have, but also insist that we need
such building, the same to be used during
the summer for market place wherein the
farmer could display and dispose of his
products on certain days of the week and to be
used during the winter months as skat.n
rink, curling rink and for other purposes be-
fitting this winter Playground of Nation. The
building would pay for itself in the summer in
the service rendered the public by the farmer
and in the winter by doing away with the snow
removal from the open skating Kinks and
hockey rink We could have community
fair once twice a week during the summer
and fall where patrons could go and purchase
products and have fine time in the winter in
attending skating tournaments and hockey
games. We feel that the expense of maintain
ing such building would be perhaps less than
maintaining the open skating Kinks in the win
ter and absolutely nothing during the summer.
Besides it would be in keeping with the spirit
of the hour in providing wholesome recreation
for the people in winter and deserved congre-
cation point for the farmers in the summer.
If this motive is Interior we'll and good If not
too fippant we might also suggest that during
the summer when the farmer was not occupy
ing the market place, the poor mans cow
could be accommodated therein and fed, thus
saving the cost of herding and also saving the
city boulevards, trees, shrubs, the other fell
lows lawn and fence and the "poor mans
garden from destruction and sidewalks from
the usual adornments-nOt at all conducive to
the general appearance of Well-reguated and
progressive city such as ours. What say you
of the proletariat, constant reader and "tax-
payer? Let's go.

Never before in the history of Wisconsin
has there been such activity in sales of real
estate as has been shown in the upper Wiscon-
sin cities in the past sixty days. Sales of lake
frontage are being made on every side and the
demand for lake frontage, unprecedented in
the history of Wisconsin, is resulting in num-
erous sales With prices increasing rapidly
for desirable frontage, a good many people are
making investments with the intention of hold
ing their property for seeral years, feeling GER
tain there is no class of property in the state
that is going to show such tremendous advance
in the next three or four years as Wisconsin's
fresh water frontage"
The above is taken from the Wisconsin Land
and Lakes Magazine and sales reported show
that lake shore property is in great demand at
this time While many view with alarm this
influx of lake shore buyers into Wisconsin, we
can only see where Minnesota will be greatly
benefited by this demand for lands. This sec
ton in particular, will be much sought after
and today lake shore property is not numer-
Gus enough to become drug on the market

benefits. Desirable lake frontage is going to

fencing these youths, one to two hundred and
eighty years in prison with minimum of 35
years and the two others for two hundred and
forty years each with thirty years as the mini
mum unless paroled or pardoned. Judge
O'Brien evidently thought that to effectively
stop crime is to take the criminal out of circula-

Maybe it is a member of congress, but who
ever it is he is headed in the right direction
with bill, or a suggestion at least, for nation
wide uniform traffic law. In these days of
fast automobile travel from coast to coast and
from pole to pole { not quite yet, but soon)
the traveller passes through more automobile
laws than he can put out of sight with the dust
he kicks up, and sometimes he is caught at it.
But even in the hick courts ignorance of the
law is not accepted as good excuse. Every
community has it's own laws. In some local
tiles local effort has been made to unity the
traffic laws but it is only another strata of
misunderstanding for the man from the next
locality to buck up against. With federal
law clearly defining a set of traffic rules to
the whole country much of the grief and an
noyance of present day travel would be elm
mated, because the traveller would know the
requirements, and most of them are decent
enough to try to be decent in such matters
nationwide law would, presumably not fit ex-
actly to the requirements of every community,
but in such cases there would be room left for
the necessary leeway to be applied by the local
authorities The time is coming and not far
off, when something of regulatory order will
have to be done, and if the federal authorities
take the initiative it may be properly DONE
