A STRAWBERRY TRUST!
BY j, A. GAYNOR.

The Wisconsin law against trusts
follows very closely the provisions
of the Sherman act of 1890 and de-
clares unlawful ANY combination,
agreement or contract intended to re-
strain or prevent competition in the
supply or price of any article or
commodity or which shall in any
manner control or fix the price, there
OF" And yet our governor in his
message to the present session OF the
Legislature refers approvingly to CO.
operative organizations for market
ing farm products in general, and
fruits in particular; and he refers
with special appreciation to the CO.
operative marketing organization of
the strawberry growers at Sparta,
Wis, which, he says, has made that
place the second largest strawber-
ry growing district in the United
States"
And yet that very organization
combines these growers in an
agreement or contract intended to
prevent competition among them
selves, and they do control the
price" of strawberries in many parts
of Wisconsin by fixing the price
thereof" every morning during their
marketing season; all of which ap-
pears at first glance to be in direct
violation of the very letter of the
law above quoted.
But dc they violate the spirit of
that law? That law was passed in
the interest of the public; it's right
to exist rests on that basis alone.
It's very wording implies that the
public may be wronged by such or
CARNATIONS through the medium of
exorbitant prices prices than
they would have to pay under fair in
dividual competition.
Is this assumption true in the case
of this organization whose sole func-
ton is to market the fruit grown
by Its own members? II price is
regulated by the law of supply and
demand, this organization has no con
troll whatever over the supply. It's
members are free to plant and pro-
duce much or little of this fruit They
perishable and must be sold the next
day or it will be total loss.
1t has no control of the demand
that the public will make on it for
this fruit, except so far as it may
tempt the public to buy more by Of
fering better berries, or berries at re-
duced prices. Is there anything in
this of which the public can COM
plain, or for which the sales COM
pany should be punished Can an or
ganization that does not control the

BAND CONCERT
AND SKATING PARTY
GREAT SUCCESS

One of the largest gatherings ever
held in the Amusement Hall and skat
ing rink took place Wednesday even
ing when the City band gave a con-
cert. The ladies of the Congregation
al church served refreshments and
the management of the Amusement
Hall gave skating party. The COM
bination of the three, in one, was
certainly a great drawing card and
a most delightful time was had. The
concert was under the leadership of
the new leader, Prof. Merrill, and he
received many compliments. The
band appeared at it's best, the skat-
ers crowded he capacity of the floor,
and the ladies of the Congregational
church served an excellent lunch Such
gatherings are certainly delightful en-
tertainments and greatly enjoyed by
the people.

supply and has no direct power over
the demand be guilty OF controlling
the price?
But 1t does fix the price there
Of every morning during the mar
keting season, and, if it puts the
price too high, large part of that
days crop may go into the dump
the next morning, and it has found
that the loss through this mistake
is not compensated for by the extra
price secured for the part sold. 1t
it fixes the price" too low, it will
not be able to supply all who want
strawberries at the reduced rates.
and part Of its customers will have
to go without fruit; and this, like the
other mistake, results in loss to the
growers.
1t must appear very clear to any
thoughtful person that this organ
ization has no power over prices.
The most it can do is to guess each
morning a price low enough to secure
sale of all of that days supply,
and at the same time high enough to
serve all who wish to buy at the
price named.
When it guesses this correctly it
will have served the public fairly
and justly, and at the same time it
will have secured for the growers
the largest amount of money that
could be procured for that days out
put.
The cranberry, too, is perishable
commodity. There is no attempt to
control the supply. 1t has to COM
pete with every other fruit on the
market, and even if, like the straw
berry, it had few competitors, it is
not an article of prime necessity,
and all that has been said of the
Strawberry Growers Sales Company
is true of the Cranberry Sales Com
pany
The fact is that the history of all
successful fruit growing demonstrates
that a we'll organized sales company
is indispensable and such organiZa-
lions have given in all instances bet
ter fruit and lower prices than could
have been secured by the wasteful

BE On THE WATCH

Burglars entered the residence of
A. L. Arpin on Baker street Wednes-
day night but were disturbed and
nothing was taken. This occurred
about midnight. They entered the
house from the basement and while
on the ground floor were overheard
and Edible Arpin, who was sleeping
on the second floor, was sent to the
lower floor, and he saw the burglar
using an electric search light. He
Immediately turned on the electric
light on the ground floor and the
burglars escaped.
Whether this work was done by
local parties or trancsients is I'M
known, but it will stand the people
in hand to be on the Watch o,d see
if the burglars can not be apprehend-
ed. The police department are try
ing to locate the thieves.

Ashland Attorney Elected To
18TH Circuit Bench,

ASHLAND, Wis, April 5. - The
election of G. N. Risjord over Judge
j. K. Parish il the Fifteenth judicial
district by probably 500 majority was
determined today only after careful
scanning of the returns. Until this
morning the result was so much in
doubt that it was expected that only
the official count would indicate the
successful candidate.
Judge Parish was up for reelection
after having held his position for
twenty-four years. His opponent is
a young attorney of Ashland. Par
ish carried Iron and Price counties
by small majorities, but lost Ashland,
Bayfield, and Taylor. Risjord's ma
Jority in Ashland city is 354 and in
the county nearly twice that figure.
Bayfield, county gave him a majority
of about 500

HOTTEST SUMMER PREDICTED

GENEVA, April DR. Maurer, di-
rector of the Observatory of Zu-

er for the past five years will be
experienced this summer He points
out that from 1906 to 1910 there has
been most marked depression in
the temperature, but this is not I'M
precedented. Similar weather phe-
nomena have occurred many times
during the past century, the most
memorable period being from 1862
1890.
These periods were invariably fol
flowed by extremes in heat, and Dr.
Maurer declares that the present
year will not prove an exception to
the rule.
