In point of attendance and of financial
results the tenth annual charity ball was

The Baker Manufacturing company
have just completed their annual inven-
tory, which gives the net results of the
fifth year of their plan of profit sharing.
Last year was dull one with wind mill
and pump manufacturers throughout
the country and on this account was
looked upon as year that would give
the experiment of profit sharing severe
test. There was therefore considerable
anxiety felt on the part of the men as to
the result of last years business, and
some doubt was expressed about the
payment of the per cent dividend on
the common stock, held largely by the
men employed by the company. The re-
suit of the business proved quite sur
prise, as the net earnings of the COM
pany, after paying the regular per cent
dividend on the preferred stock, not only
enabled them to pay per cent dividend
on the common stock but increased the
earnings of labor and preferred stock
69.17 per cent, e, man who had re-
ceived $500 for his years wages received
in addition thereto $414O2 in profit
sharing, Is per cent of this amount was
paid in cash and IS per cent in common
stock, and any person holding $4,000 in
preferred stock received $500 as the
earnings of this investment and also re-
ceived in profit sharir !, exactly the same
amount as the mae who earned $500.
The five years experience of this COM
pany in profit sharing seems to demon
strate that it effects large saving in
shop wastes, increases the output per
man and eliminates all labor troubles.

There was a good attendance at the
incorporation meeting held at Milton
Thursday evening and the sentiment
was strongly in favor of a city incorpora-
ton for the two villages A number OF
prominent citizens of both villages took
part in the discussion and Attorney A
| M Webb, of Fort Atkinson, was present
| and gave an interesting talk on the sub
| ject. 1t was declared, by vote, to be the
sentiment of the meeting that the two
villages incorporate as a city, and al
though all did not vote. there was but
one vote against the motion. AS far as
can be ascertained, both villages are now
n favor of city INCORPORATION and it is
| generally understood that the only Gnes
| ton now undecided is the postoffice mat
| ter. If the postoffices can remain as al
| present. there is every indication that
the Incorporation will be carried By a
large majority.

discharged their duties tenderly caring
for all inmates and making for them a
good home.
