Libertyville Independent Lake County iIndependent -- Waukegaon Weekly Sun 'In Northern Wisconsin where winters are long and hard ano the 2}C 0f 2C ploneer is not to be envied, lives an~old man now nearing the eighty year mark who labors hard from daylight to dark. And he is working for the love i&t, because two pieces of wilderness have already been transformed into & Tarm land through his struggles, and by every code he has earned the f' to retire. . > If you could visit him some day while he is stumping, burning brush or m new land, or cultivating and harvesting on improved fields, he would stop for a few moments and tell you about his hopes and dreams. "See that field over there--mnice stand of corn, eh? Well, two years ago that was all stumps and brush like this. And did you notice how nice it looks .Out in front of the house? Well, that was all stumps and brush too just a few years ago. Yes, it's a nicer place now, but this is going to look just like my last farm over in the town of Grover pretty soon, because even if I am ojd, I'm still able to show some of these young.fellows a thing or two about a hard day's work." © No artist spending dreams over & masterpiece--no general planning a eampaign--no statesman scheming a master diplomatic stroke--and no author pondering over an unfinished manuscript festined to bring eternal fame, could show more zeal or take more delight in the work at hand. Old "Blaize" Castonia is soon going to round out his career. His hands are knotted--his eyes are not so clear--and his step is not so sure and quick, But when he goes, he will pass with the knowledge that he gave all he had to his work. He has forgotten himself, his troubles, his hardships in the satisfac-- tion he has taken in transforming wilderness into productive farm. land. ------No, we do not recommend long years Oof back--breaking work as the greatest of virtues, but this is the point: Know and emjoy your work, what: ever it may be. You will find that the greatest satisfaction which comes in this world is derived from the knowledge of having fought the good fight through to the end--of having added all you could to the sum of human hap-- piness. One is %¥eminded of agreat Russian author who was visited by an American journalist a few days after his ninetieth birthday. '"Tomorrow I die." he said, "meanwhile I have another book to write." OUR BIGGEST PROBLEM Ask ten.pecT'I'e this question: '"What's the biggts problem confronting the citizens of ke county?" # You'll get a surprising number of answers, but we will venture that more than one will respond: "It's the problem of giving our young folks hbere the right kind of entertainment." * . For the truth is that nothing concerns us more than the future welfare of our young folks, and we all recognize that some of the forms of excite ment and entertainment that the youth of oday indulge in are anything but wlyolesome. * This is not only something for the amusement and recreation commit-- tees of our Farm Bureau, Woman's Club, American Legion and other organ-- dzations. It is a problem for all of us to think upon, for while we are preach-- ing and lecturing young people, we must offer a substitute for the entertain-- ment that we now regard as having a bad influence. Bm in LC s o afes ce bL LLL | NHY . cmsirat REewIEEt CANBPR OW ETVIND NRRgNCOE NOC ECCC ARCOWT CC We must not expect young people to sit around with long faces. We must realize that the all work and no play adage still holds good here and every-- where. They have a lot of energy and they have got to have some fun if they are going to remain in the community and become our future citizens. But they also must have the right kind of entertainment if they are to become valuable, worth--while citizens. + /# This is too big a matter to be threshed out by the various committees that have such matters in charge. But something should be done. We should cer-- tainly devote as much time and thought to thé upbringing of our children. The manner in which beer runners, bootleggers, etc., are continuing to ply their trade makes the idea of prohibition and failure' to enforce it very dis-- gusting. It appears as if the time has come when the government shall make it compulsory to place jail sentences on the violators. That course might make the law look real, which now appears like a joke. But the sad part 0 fit all is that many of the strictest enforcing advocates themselves always seem to know where to get it and how to use the stuff. Booze, booze, booze! It seems to be the one thing the whole country is centering its thoughts, its interests. $ P If our friends would noly call The Indgependent office (Phone No. 1) before publication day and give us all the facts instead of calling us up after the paper is out and telling us that we spelled the name of their guests wrong» we would all be a lot happier around Uberglville. There's food for thought for many folks in the item printed in The Inde-- pendent last week to the effect that a Liberyville woman walked two miles-- and that woman is 89 years old! How many women of this village could set out and walk two miles without later showing effects therefrom? And how many women of her age could do it at all? Mrs. Jeanette Smith furnishes an exaimple to local folks that it's not unhealthy to walk, that it's not always best to ride when you need exercise--for she scoffed at the suggestion that she ride home and thus save the walk of one milé. In these days of the }:to-a-plenty. folks walk too little. It's too éasy to "jump into the car and be down town in & minute." We all should walk more. An exch;nge"r.e;l;?s'fi;-tt;;_ti'e ;fivfiéfidbel the most of the harping maround town has to do it now, because he won't get a chance in the next world. "Tammany", New York's famous political machine, has selected a new boss. Hig name is George Washington Olvany. It seems like a long step from the George Washington who fathered the idgals of American democracy to the George Washington who leads a political machine that has always been bossed by the most notorious bunch of politicians in American history. , The average country editor prefers to publish news telling about the good fortune that has come to people in his community. The metropolitan daily seeks to make news out of the sorrow and disgrace that have fallen upon one of the millions of strangers who live in the city© And yet there are people who say that the couptry press is doomed. Wheat, corn, hogs and other farm products 'still going up. That means more dollars for the farmers of Lake county, and those two disagreeable old bums--Gloom and Pessimism--who have been hanging around 0o flate, are €oing to be run out' of the community on the next train. , The South Libertyville Boom Is Now On!

Brewerton automobile, driven by Miss Brewerton, crashed in-- to a guy wire of the Public S?rvlce Co. There is much speculation as to just what purpose the building being erect-- éd on the Esentrot property, near the North Shore station. That building is all of six feet square. One report is that it is to be-- used as the genera'! offices of the Commonwealth--Edisor Company, or some other big Chicago corporation.~ The best guéss is thitt a local real estate man will have his office there. Anyway, it improves that section of the village. Mr. and Mrs. E. A. Bishop and their daughter, Miss Frances, returned last Mondty afternoon, from a 'delightful automobile tour through the lower Michigan peninsula. They traveled in all about 1300 miles. Mr. Bishop for Rev. Charles J. Dickey and Mrs. Dickey went to Chicago Wednesday, to remain until tonight, when they leave for a month's vacaiion in Beay-- erton, Oregon, where they will visit tt the home of Mrs. Dickey's sister, and other relatives. They will visit in Portland, Vancouver acd other cities . of the west before returning home. ' gome folks go to cemeteries to lay away the dead; others go to commune with memories of the departed. But Ted Helfer and Julius Treptow have other reasons for remembering a trip lto Mill Creek cemetery near Millburn last Monday. They were setting a imonument made by the Collins and 'Doane comptny, and were working | with zest, i norder to partake of one of those celebrated country dinners. Everything went well until Julius pok:-- ed a crow bar into the exclusive dom-- icile of a family of bumble bees. Just |at that things began to happen, and 'Julius and Ted did not tarry in the manner of getting hence. Julius was so busy waving his arms and sitpping a certain portion of his anatomy (not located in front) that he disregarded flower beds, fegcea. trees or any other oObstruction. Next time either of them 'goes into Mill Creek cemetery, they will have a certain amount or respect for the entire bee family. ; a number of years was a traveling salesman in that territory, and met many of his old friends and custom-- ers on the trip. They had no particu-- lar objective point tnd went where they pleased. | The Libertyville baseball team met defeat at State Line Itst Sunday, the 'score being 12 to 5.
