Living on Air.

A very distinct advantage about
motoring is that it does not give one
an appetite. Most open air exercise
sends one home as hungry as a
hunter, and if one eats largely in these
days of strict regime and restricted
diet, all sorts of terrible things are
sure to happen-at least are promised
by the doctor. 1t is pointed out in a
daily contemporary that while all the
good effects of working up an appetite
are produced by long drive in a
motor, yet the amount of food required
to satisfy what seems to be ones huge
hunger is actually very small. The
air itself feeds one, and air neither
upsets ones digestive apparatus nor
does it supply one with adipose tissue.

TWO FIRES IN MILACA

day Wednesday, morning, and the
flames had, at the time of discovery,
attained such Roadway that upon the
arrival of the fire department. it was
found impossible to check them. The
fire laddies fought the flames bravely,
but falling walls prevented them from
closely approaching the buildings
which were being rapidly devastated.
At the time the conflagration was
discovered the millinery store and
postofice we're ablaze and the fire grew
in intensity until the whole block in
which it originated was reduced to
ashes.

DOES A POTATO TRUST EXIST?
Agitation Among Growers of Northwest
for Investigation by Governments.
Some interesting information has
reached Chicago to the effect that DO
tato growers in the northwest potato
belt, which includes Michigan, Wis
consin, Minnesota and the Dakotas,
are complaining severely at what they
term the operations of an alleged po-
tato trust. The reports that have
reached are very meager in the matter
OF details and just who or what the
complaint is against seems to be I'm
certain. However, it is known that
there has been more or less activity
among potato growers and farmers in
general in the matter of organizing
farmers associations through which
farm products are to be marketed.
1t seems that some of the most rad.
ical of the growers charge that there
is combination of several of the big
potato firms in the northwest and
that the so-called potato trusts pretty
thoroughly regulate the matter OF
establishing prices. Some even go so
far as to say that this potato trust
works in some manner with some OF
the railroads by means of which in
dependent shippers and growers are
unable to get cars in which to load
and forward potatoes. This, the
growers say: frequently forces them to
sell to the representatives of the trust
at whatever price the latter sees fit to
establish.
On the other hand, the growers
charge that because free movement
from shipping points IS restricted BY
this method that independent dealers
are not in a position to fill orders
where prompt delivery is required. and
that the trust, having ample stocks in
its warehouses, gets this business and
consequently works both the buying
and selling ends to the detriment OF
the growers and the independent
dealers.
Whether or not there is any sub
stantial foundation for these CON-
plants is little uncertain, but there
is no question but that the growers
are more or less dissatisfied.
The dissatisfaction of the growers
is so strong in some districts that
there has been talk of petitioning the
government officials at Washington to
send man to make a thorough in
vestigation of the matter. The grow
ers seem to be OF the opinion that as
long as the government is getting after
the trusts thatsit should not overlook
the potato trust, which they claim is
more of a detriment directly operating
against the farmers than any other
trust or combination.
Whether this agitation started by
the potato growers will have any
effect on the government officials in
the matter of investi eating trusts is
a good deal of question, but the
various farmers cooperative con
Germs that are trying to get foothold
will no doubt work this thing for all it
is worth in an effort to show the farm
ers that by cooperation they can d.
rectly improve their own conditions.
Some of the radical growers even 90

Creamery Destroyed.

On Sunday night at about 1890
Fadden's creamery, Milaca, was to-
tally destroyed by fire. At the
time of the fire the creamery contained
about 1000 pounds of butter. The
furniture of Geo. E. Lindall, who lived
above the creamery, and who but re-
Gently purchased an interest in the
plant, was also destroyed. The cream
cry was partially covered by insur-
ance and Mr.. Lindall carried but 5000
on his household effects.
At the time of the fire Mrs. Lindall
was away on visit and her husband
had purchased number of presents
with which to surprise her on her re-
turn. Had it not been for the loss of
these presents George says he would
not have cared continental.
