In a recent editorial, the Janesville Daily Gazette of Janesville, W asks the fol- lowing pertinent question: ‘Why Not Recognize Something Else in Wisconsin Besides Politics This newspaper wants the people to forget Wisconsin’s polities and think of the fertility of its soil, the beauty of is its scenery and the yield of its milch cows and the output of the cheese fz Wisconsin has business. Some ve consin and moved across into Michig: wiser legislation attracts industry rather than attacks In North Dakota’s case, however, not being a great manu- |; facturing state, the experiment in socialism, boards, com- | missions and what not, the burden has come right back upon the farmer in whose behalf these experiments are sup- posed to be made. As the farmer votes 85‘. of the vote | and pays approximately that proportion of the taxes, the politicians are urging that he can continue the mill andj elevator and other ventures as long as he cares to pay the piper. But some people in Wisconsin regard the regime of La- Follette as a “boil,” irritating but not necessarily a fatal malady. The Gazette of Janesville is quite entertaining in the opening paragraphs of its editor in which outsiders | are asked to forget the state’s politics and ponder on its Statistics. Says the Gazette: “Daniel Webster in hi | ‘tories. i felt the curse of too much politics in} important industries have left Wi n and Illinois where | it. | reply to Hayne of South Carolina when the integrity of Massachusetts had been attacked, replied, Jassachusetts! There she stands; she needs no encomium!” But Webster did not leave his adopted state “there.” He went on to tell about it and that’s what should be done for Wisconsin, “It’s an old story, that one about the travelers { in the Pullman, each proudly naming the state of H his birth, when the little, jaundiccd man, called upon to testify concerning h'meelf, veplied with a chaitenge, “I was born in Arkans:w: now damn it, laugh.” “Traveling outside of Wisconsin one gets wear- | ied with the questioning look that conics into the ' faces of the oth when a declaration that you j are from Wisconsin is made. Invariably the out- sider, especially if he is from the east, smiles pit- t ifully. He judges Wisconsin only by the election , returns. “No true Wisconsin man will ever make an apol- ogy for his state. He may make personal explanation but never, never, apologize for living in Wisconsin. Rather, he will carry a few facts concerning his state with which to confound its enemies and beat them at any game they want to play in total points when it comes to figures. If a man has a boil on | his leg it may cause him pain, keep him standing up, but it is not necessarily fatal. We may have a boil in Wisconsin, but it is political and will not be fatal. We have the experience of Job, who was an expert in boils, and survived, to prove it. “We have no more fool laws in Wisconsin than ie other ites. Maybe we have not inherited as many from a dead and worshipped past. This is a state of superlatives. We have scenery which no other state can touch in serene beauty and Nature has been most generous everywher Most of the scenery can be cultivated. You can eat your scenery cake in Wisconsin and keep it too. But i more than all else we are looking ahead. There 8 will be no repetition of Lot’s wife in Wisconsin.” lg SSSSSESpunnuennneeeeenenmemeeeeeee ! COMMON SENSE IN TRAFFIC Conditions and all other things considered, it ever has been true that New York City: has handled its traffie better than any other city in the countr That is because the im- mensity of the proposition has forced the authorities to seek | ideas rather than employ whims. Now, having had a good | spell of thinking, the big city is going to do better than ever. | A new scheme will be tried out on Fifth avenue, as wel! | as other representative thoroughfares. All the present signal towers will be taken down and in their stead will be| erected steel poles, 24 feet high and with 12-foot arms, j carrying the housing for lights and lenses and other direct- ; ing and controlling appliances. i These warning appliances will be controlled, and operated, i not at each block corner, but the whole length of a street | simultaneously. That is, the whole traffic of a given street will move at one and the same time, or it will stop on signal. | In addition, the removal of the towers will allow more room | for traffic to move. | The idea is the correct one and it is applicable to every \ city in the country. The block-by-block control of traffic | never has solved any problem of congestion, but, on the con- | trary, has increased it. ‘i This is true because it is and has been invariably the case that, when one officer was stopping traffic, another one a block away was ordering it to move. The result has been jams at one corner while another one but a few hundred feet away was clear. It stands to reason that traffic may never be properly controlled and made safe until it is compelled both to move and stop in good order—until it is synchronized. The rail- ways and tractions learned this truth a long time ago and New York now gives evidence that municipalities are be- ginning to find their common sense and to use ith Tf you don’t know where they get bootieg—they gei it iu the neck.

(Springfield News) A story is related in the news- put a mecting between Will Rogers, the comectan of the} Follies, and the prince of Wales. They both played polo, though on opposite s and later met at a dinne where Rogers was urged to say a few funny things, meaning to poke fun at the royal visitor. The prince a matter of fact, seems to P come out of th banquet scene without any scars and laughed heartily at the jibes of our premier comedian in Amer- ica. All of which goes to show ‘that even the heir to the throne of England is most human and ca- pable not only of understanding, but appreciating an American joke as well. Over there some of the more scholarly of the punsters say that the Americans are not funny; that our brand of humor is stale ni incomplete and that it only prces a Jaugh fer the sike of be- ing cordial. The plain fact is there is a very interesting side to English humor and one would be riously want- ing in proper appraisal of the sub- ject to attempt to prove that all glish comedy — is th hen the prince and the comedian net about the board was a rare oc jon and n¢ least interested was the young man wio was a stranger in nd apt to be bored by being made the object stranger's jokishness.

FABLES ON HEALTH A JOB FOR THE COOK |__AJOBFORTHE COOK | Yo teach children, and grown men us well, to like foods that are good for them is 4 job that .centers ‘upon the cook herself. Thus Mrs. Jones of Anytown sought to vary the type of vegetables served at each meal, and also to alter the style of cooking them. Such frequent changes in variety and ap- pearance and taste are to be recom- mended, A list of vegetables, arranged for various days, can be jotted down by the housewife who, on some days, can cream them and on another pre- pare them without sauce and upon another combine two or three of them into one dish and secure a consider- able variety, from day to day. ; A selection from which one week's | assortment can be built might in- clude..spinach, lettuce, garden peas, carrots, young beets, potatoes, cel- ery, string beans, peas and young onions. Another list can be compiled con- taining such vegetables as aspar- agus, lentils, tomatoes, squash, caul- iflower and onions. Qr.the vegetables can be arranged according to their family: Leafy and green. vegetables, such as lettuce or gpinach; the bean, pea and lentil type; the cabbage varieties, etc. With a little planning the house- wife can secure such a selection as would please any diner, at writing. But do not try to ridi- cule or be sarcastic. This trait, often noted in persons born this day, can easily be corrected. Your sense of humor can be made profitable, and you can make many friends by being more jovial. Aged Ferry 3 | Operator Dies } Niston, N.
