JASPER, Ind, April D, l9U2.
The thresherrnen met at Jasper, April
3, 1902, for the second time with Chief
thresher Joseph Eckstein in the chair.
Chas. Krempp, Deputy Recorder, took
charge OF the minutes in absence OF Re
corder Joseph Kitten.
The threshing business was freely dis
cussed by all present. Several talks
were given in the interest OF the busi-
ness. A rating committee was appoint
ed to arrange prices for the incoming
year, which l am authorized to say will
not under any circumstance be over 4
cents at the outside for wheat, which is
not likely to hurt anybody, because 1t
won't injure anyone to pay all anything
is worth-it matters not what he deals
in. There has been some talk that
threehing would be five or six cents per
bushel. You can see that the report is
q mistake. There has not been q thresh-
erman in the county who talked over
cents 80 the farmers need not be scared
on account Of these men trying TO better
their condition. The price Of threshing
is not all they want to work on--there
are lots of other things to contend with,
such as the collection OF accounts, etc.,
which is very important.
1t is true that q man can't thresh
wheat for 3 cents bushel and make
anything on his investment and for his
time. Any man can take the figures and
convince himself, for instance: 1900
bushels OF wheat which is an average
run, at cents per bushel, would be
$3.50, with $3.50 expense, $500 il left FOL
payment on note and to live on. Kun
Il out with interest and see il 1t don'l
take them ON an average five years and
over to pay out. Then what have they
got for their Ave years. work? Their in
vestment deprecated in value two-thirdi
or more. So any man can zee that the
conditions are not what they ought te
be. Again, We have never asked any
protection, and never have got any. II
bridges or lien laws, or anything else.
1t seems that q man with from 81 ,8O(
to 81, 200 invested in perishable property
with as much risk as he has on the In
yes tment, such a. damage from mr.
and breakage, also the risk on his III
from accidents, etc., that he ought to b'
protected. And that they ought not
meet with as much opposition from
farmers 20 they do; when the averag'
farmer would not ride machine acros
one-third Of the bridges in Dubois coun
ty il you would give him q new machine
hope that these few remarks will no
offend any one, for they are facts.

store was started twenty-Seven years
ago by John Hamm, who conducted
it in a building belonging to Thos
Scott. After being in business there
about eight years Mr.. Hamm died and
his widow has since managed the
business, being ably assisted by her
daughters after they became old

Mrs Hamm bought the lots and

the lots vacated by this store she has

and fronts on two Streets-Front and
Center streets. 1t has 50-foot front

the north side 100 feet in length.
There is only one older mercantile

is Spafford, Cole & Co.
During the many years Mrs. Hamm

General Paper Co. Meets in Milwaukee.

The General Paper company of
Chicago, which controls the output Of
the twenty Wisconsin mills which
make print and MANILA papers, held
meeting at the Old Insurance build
ing in Milwaukee, Friday morning.
All who were present deny that the
strike situation was discussed or that
any action with reference to it Was
even suggested. L. M. Alexander,
secretary of the company, said last
night that the only business to come
before the meeting was the election of
two directors to fill the vacancies
caused by death and to elect a new
member to the executive committee
J. G. Kimberly of Neenah, was
elected director to take the place of
f. G. Shaddock of the same place and
A. G. Bossard of Grand Rapids was
elected to take the place of John DAILY,
also of Grand Rapids. E. t. Harmon
OF Grand Rapids was made a member
OfstHe executive committee.
Mr.. Alexander said that so far as he
knew there was no change in the
situation from a week ago.
"The mills are all running" he said.
"That is, all except those which have
been effected from the first. The strike
has not spread any yet and we see no
reason why it should.
''No sir, we did not even think of
making any concessions to the strikers
at our meeting today, because we
didn't discuss the strike at all.
''No, there was nothing said about
preventing the use of the union label
on our paper. The question of the
strike did not come up before the
meeting at all.
Those present at the meeting were

The Elks' Froiic Thursday Niqht.

The Benevolent Protective Order of
Elks is noted throughout the country
for its social and entertaining quail
tiles. The local Order of Elks
sustained that reputation in the
dance party given at the Grand
Opera House in this city Thursday
evening, January 23. While the
attendance was not as large as they
had prepared for, the sixty-six couple
present filled the hall sufficiently for
dancing privileges. The decorations
were elaborate and beautiful and the
cOlorS of the order, purple and white
were prominent. Among the decora-
tiOnS was the outline Of two clocks,
one on either side of the stage. upon
both of which, the minute and hour
hands pointed to the hour of eleven.
Our ignorance prompted us to inquire
of member of the order why they
pointed to that hour? He replied
THAT was the time when all Elks
were privileged to take a drink
The Monarch orchestra supplied the
music which was fine and we'll
received. The ladies of the Episcopal
church served an elaborate supper in
the galleries, which was every thing
that could be wished for. The ladies
that attended this party were con-
SplcuOuS on account of the beautiful
costumes worn and this event. in
every respect is accredited as being
one of the most enjoyable society
events of the season. The local order
while we understand made no money
IN the venture, have certainly
established the fact that they could
do the hOnOrS of the occasion enual to
the best. Guests were present from
Milwaukee, Marshfield, Stevens Point,
Neenah, NekooSa and Port Edwards.
