Good Telephone Service.

Nekoosa, Sept. lie. C.Starks,
manager of the Wood County
Telephone company, was in the
village Tuesday making ain in
spection of the exchange and
found things in good condition.
All the subscribers are satisfied
with the local service. There
should be two trunk lines be-
tween Grand Rapids and this
village, however, to accommo-
date the rapidly increasing bust
ness. This will be done as soon
as the company see their way
clear to pay for it. Otherwise
the telephone service is just as
prompt and efficient as it is any
where.

Letter to Carl Rhode.
NEKOOsA. WIS.

Dear Sir: You can make our paint.
1t would cost you more than to buy it,:
because we work by machinery, you by
hand. We grind and mix; you only
mix. Your paint would not be the
same, because mere mixing isn't
enough.
We use good deal of zinc. You
can't do that; it is hard to mix. A
streak ftlead and a streak of zinc is
not lead and zinc. The lead would
chalk off, and the zinc peel off. Lead
and zinc stays on.
It is grinding together, intimate
mixing, that makes Devoe Ready
Paint good paint. You can't do that;
and couldn't afford it, even if you
could do it.
We have been making paint 14S
years. We make good deal; can af-
ford to provide machinery forit.
We are your helper; not your him
derer. Yours truly,
f. w. DEvOE & Co.

HIGH WATER DAMAGES
PIONEER PULP DAM

At1o'clock yesterday. about 30 feet
of the east end of the guard locks,
above the foundry, were taken out by
the great water pressure. The float
ing debris and timbers struck the
middle pier of the dam, between the
Pioneer Pulp mill and the foundry,
with such terrific force that the en-.
tire pier was taken out. The damage
to the Pioneer Pulp mill will. be
about $500. The damage to the
Grand Rapids Foundry company is
light and can only be estimated on
the delay in work. The dam between
the Pioneer Pulp mill will be rebuilt
as soon as the water is low enough

Longest Baseball Throw.

The longest distance q man has ever
thrown baseball is little more than
3S1 feet. The record for women was
held, until recently, by Vassar cham
pion, who threw ball 1S1 feet. There
has now arisen N Tacoma, Wash, a
young woman who beat that record by
"a feet. Anatomists have frequently ex-
planned that the formation of woman's
shoulder-blades prevents her from
throwing straight and far; but the Ia
coma record, 205 feet, is just about the
distance from the deep, outfield to the
home plate. Evolution seems to be at
work producing shoulder-blades that
will enable the American girl to share
the delights of:the national game.

Pearls of great value have been dis.
covered recently in Elk creek. near
Muskogee. There Is much reason to
believe that pearl fisheries similar to
those which have been developed in
Arkansas will be found extensively In

are of the pearl-bearing variety.

mento muy pequefIo en- la venta de

que Sc efeetuaron en- la pasada sema-
ma, exception de aquella clase de

mafIos. Las naranjas de Jamaica en-
pezaron venderse ell lines 1ltimo un

pradores de frutas solamente toman
aquellas que necesitan para el uso in
mediate; los vendedores parecen tener
10 mejor ventaia del mcrcado Y el cam
bio de la situaci6n depende enteramen-
to de la cantidad de frutas que lleguen
en- 10 futuro.
Lo que hay que manifestar acerca
del aumento del precio de las frutas
procedentes de Jamaica es que, ell ne
gocio hasta Ia fecha presente. ha sido
una p6rdida para los exportadores y
que los embarques han disminuido un
tanto. Los precios do las naranjas
de Jamaica fuctuaron entire $4.00 &

de 81. 90 q 90 despu9s de vueltas &

que la fruta era de superior calidad,
