THOSE merchants who are inclined
to say, "We don't have to advertise:
we are. already we'll enough KNOWN"
should carefully study the following
announcement made by the Ladies'
Home Journal: 1.-THE Proctor &
Gamble Company, of Cincinnati, have
awarded a contract for a full page in
each issue of the Ladies' Home
Journal for three years for the adver-
tisement of Ivory soap. The price
agreed is the Journals full rate 1000
per page, making an expenditure of
$4,000 per year, or S144, 900 for the
three years absolutely contracted for,
and 500, 900 for the two optional years,
representing a contract for S240, 900. "
This brand Of soap is pretty we'll
known, yet the manufacturers are
willing to pay one periodical SIS, 900
per annum to make it better known.
They realize that in order to meet
the ever increasing competition they
must advertise.

BRUCE

1t may interest you to hear how
the Grand Rapids colony up here
is getting along. In the line Of
sports they are certainly up to
date. Bruce has maintained a
base ball team all summer which
has defeated everything on the
500 Line between Rhinelander
and Minneapolis. Last Wednes-
day they played at Chippewa Falls
at the request of the Fair Associa-
ton. The Colfax team were their
opponents. After an exciting
game of eleven innings, Bruce won
by score of 7 to 6. Colfax is a
fast team and has defeated Rice
Lake, Eau Claire, Page Fence
Giants, Chippewa Falls and other
good teams. In fact, they claimed
the championship of Northern
Wisconsin. The two indians Thos.
and Jacob Quadever are their
battery. Bruce has five Grand
Rapids men. viz: P. Love, Dick
Smith, and B. Mclaughlin in the
outheld, Orrie Kipp second base,
and VIM. Corcoran, third base.
The others are from different
parts of the country. If Bruce
beats Eau Claire, she will have the
amateur championship of Northern
Wisconsin. Any hard team de-
string games will do we'll to write
or telephone to Thorn. Slattery,
Mgr, Atlanta, Gates Co, Wis.

THE other day in Evansville,


THE other day in Evansville,
Indiana, a very dark girl went to one
OF the common schools. The pupils
returning home, told their parents
that "nigger" had been admitted
and the parents, with one accord, re-
fused to have their children attend.
An examination of the dark skinned
girl and those who brought her up
followed and it was showed that she
did not have drop OF negro blood in
her veins. Now the parents allow
their children to 60 to school again.
1t is hard to reconcile these facts with
the advanced ideas of the twentieth
century.

Teams at a Premium.

At present men with good tnsms OF
horses are at premium. The telegraph
and telephone companies are paying 81 90
per day for teams with driver and are
feeding the teams and making all repairs
to wagon or harness. Liveryman Sam
Perrine has had team hired on these
conditions for the last three weeks and in
fact has not seen the team or driver in
that time. They are working for the N.
Y. & N. J. Telephone Co., under the
charge of Supt. VIM. Martin. of Long
Branch. Mr.. Perrine has bought an
other new horse from I. S. Everitt & Son
of Cranbury.
Horses are high in price and scarce.
This is supposed to result from the fact
that the British government is shipping
from here about 10 600 horses per month
TO South Africa. With England using
up all our beef and horses we soon shall
be on the verge of want ourselves.

Corner in Butter.

for ordinary tub butter are from 32c.34c
per pound in our country stores. Cream
cry butter cannot be sold for less than
37e per pound. Butter has steadily ad-
vanced in price for ten years past. Just
ten years ago the Middlesex Creamery
Co. began business in Cranbury, and in
these ten years butter has advanced at
the rate of cent per pound per year,
until now the creamery is selling its
product for SIC per pound. In the cities
this same grade of butter costs 40c per
pound. And yet you can't convince
than it did ten years ago.

Red Albumen a Fraud.

D. E Salmon. chief of the U s. veter.
inarians, after careful tests pronounces
the "red albumen," advertised in so
many farm papers, as wonderful slim
ulant for laying hens, fraud OF the
strictest kind. He says 90 per cent of
the compound is useless and as to causing
hens to lay it will kill them off as fast as
plague could do it.
The postal authorities have been re-
quested to issue fraud orders against the
red alhumen' makers and to rule
papers out of the mail containing such
advertisements.
Poultry shippers would be surprised
how many quack farm papers and bogus
poultry journals are pushing this COM
pound composed largely of red ocbre or
what is known as mineral paint Once
in a while a reputable paper may get
taken in on such deal. but the way
some of these otherwise reputable jour
nails continue to push ''red albumen"
shows they are interested in the fraud.
This is another fake for the home pa
pers to puncture and the sooner it is done
the better off are the local poultry rails
ers.

Beef Going Higher.

Advices from Chicago state that an ad
vance of oDe-half cent pound on
dressed beef has gone into effect at the
Union stock yards and all the packers
have responded to the repeated advances
that have taken place in the last week
In cattle on the hoof
The top price for cattle on Wednesday
of last week was 81 so a hundred pounds.
which is the highest April price since
1882. Hogs also sold at record prices for
the year, bringing $705 hundred
pounds.
Beef on Mon lay brought 81 80 in the
bulk, which is rated at 81 pounds to the
hundred after it is dressed. According
to this price. beef is costing II cents
pound before it ever reaches the butch
er's hands,
With beef higher than it has been for
more than ~ years, there is no prospect
OF fall in prices until grass cattle come
on the market, which will not be until
the middle of July or August.

Jerseys Wireless Station.

The American Wireless Telegraph and
Telephone company have begun the con
struction of tower at the Highlands OF
Navesink for the reception of messages
from incoming steamers.
1t is the cempany's intention to report
incoming vessels in opposition to the
Marconi company.
The tower will be 130 feet high and will
have base 40 feet square. Its location
is the highest point on the coast south OF
Maine, being 210 feet above the sea level.
The American company intends 10
erect towers at Fire Island and Montauk
Point. Another important feature of the
work will be the sending Of wireless tele-
phone messages along the Jersey and
Long Island coasts. and ultimately from
Maine to the Carolinas.
The original intention was to build q
15O foot tower at the Highlands of Nave
sink. but builders said this height was too
great to withstand successfully high
winds. 1t is said half dozen old pilot
boats or other craft will be hired to stand
out to sea and report by wireless telegraph
