- Shullsburg paper reports that
the Mineral Point Zinc Works fin
ished their 100000 additional build
ings and patent furnaces recently
and are now operating the same.
And this question is still in order:
Will these works be removed from
here if LaFollette is elected?
Exchange: The strike at Chica
go on the part of the meat packers
employees is deplorable The same
thing may be said of every war. The
packers waxed fat on Illegal profits
that they might better their own
condition, but the packers would not
only not divide but spurned the sug-
gestion. Wealth makes men arro-
giant and tyrannical and trouble is
bound to follow. IF wealth is wise it
will give IaJor no cause for dissatis-
faction. Contented labor will be
wealth's surest safeguard.
"A man having years Of expert
ence in operating threshing engines
says that if double handful of po-
tatoes are placed in the boiler of the
engine, that will partly prevent the
formation of the coating of lime
which generally attends the use of
hard water for making steam. He
further says that a quart of bran in
the boiler is the best thing he has
ever used for leaky fues. AS the
threshing season is at hand, per-
haps some engine driver can find use
for these hints in his business.
An exchange thus fully describes
the meaning of "local enterprise" If
you think of anything that can be
done to beautify or build up your
town go and do it. Keep your CAPT
tai at home; patronize home indus
try; help your merchants to sell
more so they can sell cheaper; al
ways get your work done in your
home town if possible; subscribe
and pay for the home paper. If you
follow these suggestions and your
town does not improve and build up
it will not be your fault. Try it,
DO you need some spare time
talking about the faults of others or
do you devote your leisure moments
to the improvement of yourself and
those about you? There is no ques-
ton as to which is the better plan.
Possibly, however, you have never
given the matter serious thought,
perchance you are jogging along in
the old rut without realizing what
you are doing, If this suits your case
just try the new plan for a few weeks
or months, see if your digestion, rep
utation or general state of mind are
not great deal better for the change.
Speak well or not at all, That's it.
The woman picked up by Deputy
Sheriff Terrlll about three weeks ago
