High Cost of Living

BARABOO, Wis.--That the middle
man and not the producer is RESPONSE
BILE for the high cost of living is the
charge of Alfred L. Webb circus stew
ard. who for nearly a generation has
been feeding circus employees. He
says he feeds his circus family at a
cost of only a cent a meal more than
it cost fourteen years ago.
He says the last summer was no
worse than any other year in solving
the food problem, despite the wide
spread complaints of housekeepers all
over the country
Il have been in the circus business
twenty-six years." says Webb, "apd I
have been with this circus fourteen
years straight l know the cost of
living has increased about SO per
cent from the running expenses of
my home. But in the circus we es-
cape because we cut out the middle
man. There you have the whole
trouble-the middleman. He is MAX
ing all the hardships in this country
likewise all the money.
by the middleman l mean all who
stand between the producer and the
cons uil1eT-CO1lnllSSlO1 1neTtndnlS,
railroads and other methods of trans
portation, cold storage firms and de-
livery men.
Il serve a meal in the circus for
20 cents that would cost most house
keepers &c to SO cents. 1t is about
time people found out why they are
held up. The solution of the problem
is Intelligent cooperation, legislation
and municipal mf ckets. When you
have those things the middleman will
have to go to work.

WEATHER IS AN AID
TO CONCRETE WORK
Contractors on the Congdon
Ditch Alterations Are Getting
Along Splendidly

Existing warm weather conditions
are an excellent thing for the interests
of the contractors engaged in the con-
struction work on the Congdon ditch,
forward, which with more severe con-
ditions it would become necessary to
allow the work to stop until next
spring. AS it is the likelihood Is that
a portion of the work will remain UNI
completed to await the arrival of warm
weather next season. The A. l..
Smith contract for the construction of
the new headgates and the lining of
1860 feet of canal has been completed
and the suh-contract for the excavat-
ing will be completed in three or four
days.
Powell Is Half Through
The Powell contract for the con-
creting of some 10000 feet of the
ditch is about half completed and is
being pushed with considerable vigor
This is in order to take advantage of
existing weather conditions and to
leave as little work as possible to he
done next year Those interested in
the canal have been watching the pro-
gress of the work with great deal
of interest and are already satisfied
that the changes made, including the
many thousand feet of concrete, rein
forced fuming are to result in giving
the canal the best waterway of any
ditch in this part of the state. 1t had
been expected that it would be pos
sible to complete the work this fall
but this now seems unlikely.

An Old.Time wahpeton l-ynching.


Hankinson News: The murder of
George E. Moody is not the first trag-
edy that has ocurred in connection
with the sheriff's office in this coun-
ty. Away back in 1889, more than
twenty-five years ago, a deputy in
Sheriff Miller's office became enam-
ored of domestic in the sheriff. S
household. She repulsed his ad-
vances and he shot her in cold blood,
killing her instantly. He was lodg-
ed in the old Jail at Wahpeton. Feel
ing ran high, and during the night
a mob broke into the Jail, placed a
rope around the murderer's neck,
led him to the old wooden bridge
across the river between Wahpeton
and Breckenridge, and lynched him.
The mob dispersed quietly. leaving
the body dangling in mid-air above
the murky waters of the river. The
notch in the bridge rail caused by
the straining of the rope was an
object of interest to morbid people
for many years remaining, in fact,
until the new steel bridge was built,
q couple of years ago.
