A TACK in time is sometimes as

Tools are necessary to make the
small repairs about the house. and
box of them should be ever ready at

sizes should have place in the box
Sandpaper, a tube of furniture glue

The June Woman's Home Companion
contains an article, 1.-The Vanishing
Husband" by Mary Heaton Worse,
which presents an extraordinary clear
exp lanation of why it is that men like
to get away from women and enjoy
each others society. The main con-
tention in the article is that men can
get along without their women-folks
but women cannot get along without
the men. &C is an article full of able
and at times humorous observations.
The June Companion also contains a
sketch of princess Pat" of Connaught;
an account of the recent dramatization
of 'Little Women; a description of
what has been done in New York City
toward reducing the death rate of small
children; and a report of the progress
made In this country toward the accom-
plishment of a sane fourth of July

Important Decision

A case of general interest to the
towns and COMMITTEES throughout the
state has just been decided by the In
dustrial Commission of Wisconsin, the
commission created by the last legls-
lature to decide cases coming under the
new Employers Liability law also
known as the Industrial Insurance law.
George Edminister and August Popke
of the town of Mukwa, Waupaca county
were severely injured while working in
a gravel pit in that town on February
6, 1912. They were engaged in the
work of graveling one of the new state
aid highways in the town of Mukwa.
The work was being performed under
the new law providing state aid for
highways. The State Highway COM
mission has supervision Of the work.
The county highway commissioners for
Waupaca county, appointed by the
State Highway commission at the re-
quest of the county board of Waupaca
county, had charge of the work.
The men were injured by large
mass of frozen dirt falling upon them.
Edminister suffered broken jaw bone
and Popke a broken leg. Both men
made claim against Waupaca county
for compensation under the new law
The county contested the claims on the
ground that the town of Mukwa and
the state were jointly liable with the
county. A hearing was held by In
dustrial commission at New London,
April %, the claimants being repres-
ented by Fisher, Hanna & Cashin of
this city and Waupaca county by it's
district attorney.
The commission has just decided the
case to the effect that Waupaca county
alone is liable and has awarded comp
ensation to both injured men to be paid
by the county. This is the first case
which has arisen which involves both
the new compensation law and the new
state highway law. The decision will
be good news to all towns in the state
in which roads are being built under
the new law.-Stevens Point Journal.

City What You Make 1t.

More towns die for want of conf
dence on the part of business men and
the lack of public spirit than any other
cause. When a man in search of a
home or business location goes into a
town and finds everything brim full of
hope and enthusiasm for the prospects
of the place, and everyone earnestly at
work to build It up. he soon becomes
imbued with the Same spirit, and az a
result he drives down stakes and goes
to work with the same interest. When,
however, he goes to town where
everyone expresses doubt and appre-
eusior for the futute prosperity of

STUMPS ARE NOT GREAT DRAW
BACK IN WISCONSIN

In considering the desirability OF set
Ting in upper Wisconsin the home
seeker will, or ought to fully consider
the stump question, the time and the
cost of their removal and the amount
of interference they will be to his
farming operations before they are re-
moved.
1t is true that the very best OF past
urags can be established without re-
moving the stumps. This is done by
clearing off the brush, narrowing with
a spring tooth harrow and seeding to
clover. 1t is true that the settler can
NOW with scythe several acres OF
meadow for few years, and that the
abundant yield and low interest charge
on the land, as compared with smaller
Yields warrants the hand work. 1t Is
further true that ha ldsome crops OF
potatoes can be grown while the stumps
are still there. In other words, sue
cessful (although laborious) farming
can be done regardless of the stumps.
But the progressive man wants to be
rid of them. They are hindrance and
an eyesore. 1t is right that he should
know something about their removal.
Stump machinery has been vastly i'm
proved in recent years. Aside from the
immense steam machines used by the
large concerns, there are various horse
power machines and, recently, two one
man machines have been developed,
The first one-man machine to be ex-
plotted is the Wipperman puller, which
adapts the multiple block to the work e.
The second applies lever to the pull
ing cable. Both have been tried out
and are reliably reported to be cheap
and effective.
The cost of cleaning per acre can be
only Appropriated. If the green Jumps
are left four or five years the cost in
cash and labor will range from S. to S2O
per acre, except in small areas where
it might run to practically prohlbltlve
limit. The burned over lands, espec-
tally those with the lighter soils, are
usually the more cheaply cleared OF
stumps. 1t is generally true that the
better soils are more costly to clear OF
stumps. 1t is generally true that the
better soils are more costly to CT az OF
stumps, with o cost of $40 to S2U pei
acre, the lighter soils costing somewhat
less.
The above does not include the cost
of brushing. which ordinarily costs
about the same as the stumping, max
ing total cost ranging broadly from
$40 to $50 per acre, with maximum
in rare instances materially greater
Allowing SIS as the approximate av-
erage cost of the wild land, we find the
cost when fully improved to range
from $25 to SIS per acre. 1t has been
shown by the United States census
statistics chat these lands are even
more productive than the prize farm
lands of America that sell at from $3.50
to $3.50 per acre.
A not negligible element of the stu
alton is that lands in upper Wisconsin
can be bought on small investment
and the expense of Improvement borne
when desirable. 1t is safe proposition.
