Nearly all the stations between
Dodgeville and Madison show extensive
ranks of cordwood. OF course it is
there to be sold. Why is it not sold
There are thousands of cords of it.
Most of it looks very old. If you ask
about it you will be told that "They
ship it to Madison and sell it at S. a
cord But you rarely see any of it
shipped. Much Of it has stood there
black and fungussed for years. 1t
looks as if it would not bring more than
half the price of good wood. You often
see splendid wood in farmers wagons
in Madison Surely it would be adyis-
able for the owners Of these ranks to
get them all cleaned away and be
ready to improve appearances next
season with new ranks. There is still
great deal of woody country stretch
ing far back on both sides of the c. &

ter to Madison and especially from

Grabbing Scandal,


From Denver, under date of Aug. II,
it is given out that scores of the
wealthiest men in the United States
from New York to the Pacific coast
are to be arrested by special agents of
the general land office. who have UNI
earthed the greatest land-grabbing
scandal ever brought to light in
America.
1t is said that IS per cent of the coal
entries made in Alaska prior to May %,
1908, are FRAUDULENT and that some Of
the greatest financial men as well as
railroads and other corporations have
resorted to new trick in securing
dummy entries.
Men from the slums of Seattle, Butte,
Denver ana Chicago We're approached
by lawyers, who sigued or allowed the
attorneys to sign for them, applications
for coal lands in Alaska which were
turned over 10 the coal barons.
The accused ones are attempting to
cover up, it is claimed, but Secretary
Ballinger has made it clear that he will
stand behind his special agents and
will assist them in the prosecution. Six
large coal corporations are involved.

THE TRIBUNE, MINERAL POINT. WISCONSIN,

largely, to the fact that the farmers
of the world are not keeping up with
the constantly increasing demand for
their products-in other words that
what the world really needs is larger
crops. Statistics seem to bear out the
claim that the crop output of the
world is not keeping pace with the in
crease of population, and it is matter
of record that the increased cost of liv-
ing has been felt in virtually every
country, indicating that this condition
is not peculiar to any one nation or one
section of the world. 1t is argued
moreover, that high prices will continue
to prevail until there is q material in
crease in the various articles and COM
modities regarded as necessary for the
maintenance Of life, and large share
of this needed increased production
must be met by the farmers. OF
course farmers are compelled to face
one really serious problem in any con-
tempated extension Of their operations
and activities, and this is the problem
Of securing labor to assist them IN
their work. Many a farmer could
better work his lands and increase the
size of his farm if he could find the
men to help him, and many farmers,
naturally, would be glad to do this. But
how to get these men is the question.
On the face of it, the question would
not appear difficult of solution. Farm
wages, with board and lodging, are
better pay than countless laborers in
cities receive. The work around
farm is more healthful than that of
any other occupation. The conditions
for rearing families are assuredly more
desirable in the country than in most
large cities. Notwithstanding. these
facts there is a reluctance on the part
Of men to leave their picks and shovels
in the city's street to take up the hoe
and the rake on the farm. There is
only one way to get them to do it and
that is to educate them to the advan-
tages that would accrue to them
"This is a work that should be under
taken by some great agency. Its ac-
complishment would mean much for
the peace and happiness of the whole
people of this and other nations for
the cost of living must be decreased
by some means. And an increase in
the output of farm products is one of
| the ways TO bring It about.
| In discussing this subject has not the
| Northwestern overlooked one feature
which tends to bring about scarcity of
necessities, and that is the extrava-
gance of the over-rich people who in
dulge in the habit of wasting fully as
much at the table as they consume as
a necessity ?

Long Corset Sensible and HeaIthful.

The Delineator for September.
A healthful and sensible corset is one
which reaches from five to seven inches
below the hips, completely encircling
the lower abdomen and bony structures
which form the pelvis. The hygienic
hose supporters assist in keeping the
corset in this situation; it is now laced
from below upward. The pelvis is thus
held firmly in its normal horizontal
position The spinal column assumes
its normal vertical position. and the
support is uniformly upward. One UNI
consciously assumes the ideally erect
posture. Over the body structures,
which completely take in the hips and
upper portion of the thighs, the pressure
can be relatively great; as the softer
parts are reached, there must be no
compression, simply good, comfort
able fit.

A cruel accident happened Tuesday
to a horse belonging to Howard McMa-
hon. This horse was one of a team
drawing bundles to the threshing ma
chine and had been driven along side
to unload. Suddenly the belt flew off
the tanning mill, caught the horse by
the tail and drew it into the gear.
The horse naturally jumped and the
result was that the tail parted about
six inches from his body. Whitewater

ason moved that the amendments
recommended, be killed, but the ma
iority was favorable to the measure
as amended and . the bill comes up
in general orders today. Mr.. Skula-
son states that the proposed measure
is perntcious and as bad, or even
worse than the present primary.

but haggling tower terms, was one OF
the extraordinary incidents today in the
trial of Colonel D. B. Cooper, Robin
Cooper and John D. Sharp for the slay-

Carmack
The subject of the commercial trans
action was DR.. McPheeters Glasgow
who had been employed By the prosecu-
ton to go to Columbia and perform an
autopsy on Senator Carmack's body.
He did so and reported his findings to
the prosecution. He was subpoenaed by
the state, but was not used. The de-
fense learned of the autopsy and sum-
moned the doctor
DR.. Glasgow told the counsel for the
defense that his services as an expert
had been retained by the state and that
he would not discuss the case except
with the attorney general. The de-
fense asked the court to instruct the
doctor to talk to its counsel. The court
complied partially by telling the doctor
that it would be proper for him to, talk
with the defendants attorneys if he had
any information that would throw light
upon the killing.
The state objected and the doctor
stood firm. Unless the state, which en-
ployed him, ordered him to consult
with the opposition, he declined to talk
The state suggested that the defense
swear the doctor on the stand. The de-
fense resented the suggestion and de-
clared itwould put no, witnesses on the
stand without knowledge to what III
would testify. -

threatened to cause President elect
: Taft considerable embarrassment is
avoided. No. appointment made by
President Roosevelt has given rise to
more discussion than that of Mr..
Crum, whose appointment was vigor-
ously opposed because of the fact that
he is a negro.
"A long and hard fight against his
confidence was made by Senator Till

named in 1908, and within the last few
weeks, following his reappointment,
Senator Tillman conducted a success
ful fil;buster against his confirmation.
Mr.. Crum says that no pressure has
been brought to bear upon him now to
cause him to resign; but that he does
So in part, because he wishes to save
Mr.. Taft, for whom he entertains
great respect, from any possible EN-
barrassment as to his reappointment
and chiefly because he feels that he has
been especially identified with Presi-

wishes to retire with his confidence.
