Finance and the Markets.

Nothing about metropolitan news
paper shows more plainly high de-
gree of organization than an accurate
and comprehensive report of the
worlds markets. AS might be expected,
THE CHICAGO RECORD HERALD covers
this field in the same satisfactory man
ner that is characteristic of the papers
entire news service. 1t tells it's read
ers every day what consOls are worth
in London, what money and stocks
are worth in New York, what wheat
and the other grains are worth in
Chicago, Kansas City, Minneapolis
and the other markets and presents in
addition accurate information on the
events and conditions that determine
these values.
THE RECORD HERALD is the only
morning paper in Chicago having it's
own special correspondent to cover
the New York stock market. George
S. Beachel's letters report the daily
movements of the New York stock and
money markets in way that shows
the writer's close association with the
men who rule in those affairs in Wall
street. Equal attention is devoted to
the Chicago stock and financial mar
kets and to the daily movements of
prices on the Board of Trade. The
Speculative Gossip" and the notes
that record Wall street and LaSalle
street happenings contain many line
that shows bit of the real "inside"
history of the various markets. THE
RECORD HERALD makes it point to
cover in full the financial reports of
companies and corporations and de-
votes particular attention to banking
interests in Chicago and the west.

About Buying a Pig in a Poke.

Editors of Mineral Point Democrat:
I read your article, "Buying a pig
in a poke" or why do people send
away out of the city to buy their
goods. l will try to answer by ask
ing few question:
Why do the business men solicit bids
for the erection of their buildings,
that is from outside parties, when you
have as COMPETENT lot of workmen
as there is in the state?
Why do some of the business men
buy their building material from cat
alogue houses?
Do the business men get all of their
printing done at home?
Do the business men buy all of their
furniture at home?
Why is it that the city always lei
their contracts for sidewalks to out,
side parties?
I am not an advocate of spending
my money away from home. One OF
the main reasons why people patron
ize mail order houses is that their is
only one price to all. Something that
our home merchants would do we'll tC
consider.
When the time comes that man
can depend on getting exactly what he
pays for. Or in my line of business
if [ send bill for the material tC
build house, either for lumber OF
hardware, we expect to get what the
bill calls for, and what they agree to
furnish. When that time comes you
will hear less of people sending away
their money.
Some of the above questions would
be suitable for the Commercial Club
to think over. VIM. SKEWS,
WaldWick

College Pigs Sell Well.

The college of agriculture of the
University of Wisconsin contributed
three pigs to the Berkshire sale held
recently by the Waukesha County
Breeders association near Nashotah.
They were spring gifts Of March far
row, and their superior blood lines
met with strong demand at this
auction. One gilt was sold by mail

vile, ILL.,, a former student of the
short course in agriculture. Another
was bought by E. T. Carroll, Wales,
for $3.50, and the third by Earl
Roberts, OconomOc, for S35
This sale marks the beginning of
effective work by local breeders
association. AS the majority of the
animals we're purchased by locals
farmers and beginning agricultural
pursuits, the locality should prove
later to be a productive Berkshire
center,

Bees as Pure Food Workers.

Richland Republican,: The album
dance of honey this season, its moder-
ate price and the fact that it is one of
the most wholesome sweets. is not to
be overlooked in this year of inequality
in the various food supplies. This
has been one of the greatest white
clover seasons on record hereabouts,
although other regions have not been
so much favored, and the bees have
not lost moment of the working time
nor gone on strike for higher pay.
Honey is worthy of a liberal place in
the diet of the country. The bees are
pure food workers and do their best
with the materials afforded them,
which this year have been of the
finest

Unlawful to Sell Bad Eggs.

The National pure food law and the
pure food law of nearly every State
makes it punishable by fine to sell
or offer for sale eggs that are rotten,
or partially so, and after they have
been placed in an incubator.
To bring the meaning of this law
down in nutshell:
1t is unlawful for the farmer to sell
bad eggs to the merchant; also for
the merchant to sell them to dealers,
and it is violation Of the National
law to ship them from one state to an
other.
II IS the duty of the officers of the
food departments to prosecute persons
who disobey the law.

Making a Permanent Road.

Blanchardville Blade: The work
on the road in the town of Perry be-
tween Andrew Jeglum's place and the
Kittleson turn is great. This has
always been a very bad piece of high
way at any time of the year. The
euterprising citizen of Perry voted to
have it fixed properly and the road
has been graded and through the
center tagged, then covered with
crushed rock. There are fourteen
men and five teams working on the
job now. The stone crusher is set on
the hill north of Flisram factory.
The town of Perry will be the pioneers
in good and permanent road building
and we hope their good example will
be followed by every township in
southwestern Wisconsin.
