Then came Ruetenik's idea. He needed
men who would stay with him and who
would take more than a passing inter-

barn and explained that he would take

Enthusiastically.
Ruetenik made n careful inventory OF
his farm property. lie then took the
gross receipts for six months and sub
tractcd the operating expenses. The
total amount remaining represented the
profits. on the first casting up of his
accounts, Ruetenik discovered that he
was making about 10 per cent on his
total investment. One CT the men who
had been working for him was being
paid $500 a year. Ruetenik too that
figure as being the workman's invest
ment In the farm. Each months, on
settlement day the man was given his
dividend of 8 per cent. making a total
OF ten per cent FOR the year. or $50 in all,
in addition to his wages. And so 1t was
with the man who was getting a $1,000 a
year. His dividend was 500 annually.
Dividends were to be paid each six
months.
Each employee received as much out
of the farm. according to his invest
ment, as did the owner himself.
As dividends were paid, Ruetenik In
duced the men to put the dividend
money back into the farm Itself. One
man has 5000 80 invested, and others

Mission of the Weekly Newspaper.

THE Weekly Newspaper as a Fac
tor in Rural Improvement was the
subject Of very interesting address
at one Of the sessions Of the Country
Life conference, held at the Univer-
sity of Wisconsin February 14-15, by
B. B. Herbert, editor of the National
Printer Journalist. Mr.. Herbert, who
is the founder of the National Edi
torial association. spoke on the infu-
ence of the country weekly in advanc
ing interests of the rural communities.
w. II. Bridgman, president of the
the Wisconsin Press association and
editor of the Stanley Republican, and
W. FL. Hotchkiss of the Dunn County
News, Menominee. also spoke along
similar lines. Following is a portion
of Mr.. Herbert's remarks:
The newspaper goes into the homes,
and speaks it's lessons to every mem
Der of the family every day or
every week. 1t is friendly home
visitor bearing messages of all means
of improvement as we'll as of the
doings and attachments of friends and
neigh bors and deals with all the daily
affairs of life. If it be a worthy
newspaper. it's mission and ever pres
ent and accomplished service is to
inform. instruct, please, encourage
and inspire. In brief, it's mission is
to give the news, but what is the
news? In its truest, broadcast, most
modern newspaper sense, it consists of
the new events. the new happenings,
improvements, advances, discoveries,
inventions, truths or knowledge.
that will especially command the at
tention, interest and sympathies of
the readers, and will, at the same
time. most effect them in their daily
lives or avocations, and best serve
them in their personal, social, politi-
cal, Industrial educational and re-
ligious aspirations, relations and pur-
suits. To newspaper the prosperity
contentment and we'll being of it's con
stituent patrons is next to that of their
interest in it's news. To the weekly
or home paper, the home news comes
first, but local news is not confined to
local happenings alone, but includes
all that affects or applies to home
life, that touches, affects or helps
local conditions, local Industries an 1
institutions, the homes, lives, the
permanent prosperity, the comfort and
happiness of the people. =

Another Blow to Public Cup.

Proposed sanitary measures of state
wide Importance were decided upon at
the annual meeting of the state board
of health at Madison recently.
The board decided to issue an order
prohibiting the use of public drinking
cups in public buildings and public
parks. Some time will be allowed
before the order will be enforced.
A bill will also be introduced in
the legislature at the instance of the
board to provide for sanitary inspec-
tor to work under the direction of the
board to see that the sanitary laws
are enforced. The bill will carry an
annuaf appropriation of So, 500 for
salary and expenses Of the inspector.
It was also decided to urge the pas
sage of a bill requiring counties of the
state to care for advanced cases for
tube1 culosis in connection with their
county Institutions The state now
cares for incipient cases at the state
sanitarium at Wales, Waukesha
county.
The board fixed a minimum time
for quarantine for scarlet fever of 81
days, but children affected with the
disease will not be permitted to at
tend SCH ools until the period Of des-
quamation has passed, or about 40 days
after coming down with the disease.

suited in the reelection of DR.. Will
