THE POTATO SITUATION
Hurry in Disposine of Them Seems
Not Warranted

The potato situation does not ap
pear to warrant the haste in their
disposal that is manifest in many
sections. The fact is that the esti
mate of the yield of potatoes this
year has been lowered from month
to month and is not now at figure
that is inconsistent with a fair mar
ket price
Again, the potato growers are in
clined to forget that last year mil
lions of bushels were imported into
this country and that millions of
people were removed from the con-
suming population by the prohibitive
prices that prevailed When these
elements are taken into considera-
ton, the yield for this year comes
nearer to the normal point.
Once more, when we have a large
crop as this year there will always
be found a large quantity of pota-
toes of poor quality that are rushed
upon the market as is the case at
this time, producing a demoraiiZing
condition and low prices.
The potato crop is well distributed
over the country this year. This
means that at anything like living
prices the whole population will be
consumers and will take care of the
increased production. 1t means al
SO that those who have good keep
ing potatoes are far ahead Of those
who planted poor seed in unfavorable
ground ald raised poor crop.
Don't hurry in marketing your po-
tatoes.

BLACKSMITH SHOP BURNS

The fire department was called
out about noon Monday to combat
a rather stubborn blaze in the Men
asha Wooden Ware Co.'S blacksmith
shop. near the mill. The firemen had
no difficulty in confining the fire
to the building in which it oTiginat-
ed. but had the wind been from the
north the lumber yard would have
been seriously endangered. The build
ing was enveloped in flames when
the department arrived there, but
by good work it was saved from to-
tai destruction, although the loss is
practically total.
The fire started when a kettle of
tar that was being heated caught
fire.

MANY ATTEND IRWIN REVEALS
Twenty-One Accessions Have Re-
suited From These Meetings
So Far
Contributed

Il
Saturday night, the four meetings
Sunday and the meeting Monday
evening, were great meetings. An ap-
preciative audience listened to the
address on Saturday evening. Sunday
morning at 10000 o'clock nearly 200
attended the Sunday school and this
number will be increased on next
Lords day as all are working togeth-
er to build up the school At 11:00
o'clock Mr. Irwin spoke on his sub
ject, Children Of God" bringing
forth points from everyday life and
from the scripture where it shows
very conclusively that if anyone Ell
| tertains a hope for eternal things
| they must become Children of God.
| The afternoon service was also we'll
attended by large congregation OF
interested listeners to the discourse
pertaining to the various orders and
lodges, showing their relationship to
morality and the service was follow
by 200 or more singing gospel songs
and announcing the meetings.
At the evening service the church
was filled to its capacity and the in
terest in the subject, Gains Ques-
tion," (Am l My Brothers Keeper?),
was manifest by the silent attention
given the speaker. In this sermon,
as in all the others, the facts and
points given are very convincing and
we should all realize that We are our
brothers keeper
Monday evening Mr.. Irwin fear
lessly took the subject OF "Amuse-
ments," discussing the three most
common forms INDUCED in at the
present time, the card parties, the
theatre and the dances. With histor-
ical facts of evil that has resulted
directly from the following of these
vices, and with actual incidents that
have come under the direct atten
ton Of the speaker in his work OF
saving souls, it was very plainly
shown that none of these amuse-
ments can be INDUCED in by true
follower of the Lord and Master, Je-
sus Christ.
Twenty-one accessions have so
far resulted in these meetings, and
the prospects are good for many
h&y hn c n
print. The meetings and sermons
over Sunday will be as follows:
Friday-"The Great Salvation
Saturday-Mothers Meeting, espec-
tally in honor of mother, whether

HEARING NOV. 18TH.
r. r. COMMISSION WILL ACT ON.
TELEPHONE co.'s
APPLICATION
WOULD INCREASE ITS RATES
Rusk &C. Rural Telephone Co. Finds
Rates Now Charged Too Low

The Rusk County Rural Telephone
Co., finding it's present rates too
low has made application to the Wis
consin Railroad Commission for au-
thority to increase its rates to an
amount that will give reasonable re-
turn on the money invested, instead
OF deficit, as in the past year.
The Railroad Commission will hold
a hearing at Madison Nov. % to
consider this application.
The following rates are now in
force;
For residence telephones one dol
lar ($1.00) per month if paid on or
before the fifth of the month or one
dollar and twenty five cents ($1.25)
if paid after the fifth. Unless two
or more months are paid in advance,
in which case only one dollar ($1.00)
is charged for the month past as
well as for the one in advance.
For business telephones one dol
lar and fifty cents (s1 50) per month
is charged
For all toll telephones a minimum
charge of one dollar ($1.00) per
month is made and regular toll rates
if the amount of toll at the regular
rates come to more than one dollar
(s1.00) per month
In it's application for authority to
raise it's rates, the telephone com
pany cited the fact that its report
to the Railroad Commissioned June
30, 1912, showed deficit of $37724,
that no dividend had been declared
and that the stockholders, many of
whom had no other reason to put
money into the company save as an
investment, were entitled to receive
a reasonable return on their money
1t was further cited that no money
had been laid aside as a sinking
fund, and that there had been no
serious storms that broke down the
lines, in fact, conditions had beer
very favorable, while with adj
verse conditions the deficit would
no doubt have been much greater.
The proposed rates are in accord
: ance with the following schedule:
(a) All residence and toll tele-
phones shall have minimum rate
of one dollar and fifty cents ($1.50)
per month il paid after the 18th of
the month or one dollar and twen-
ty five cents ($1.25) per month if
paid on or before the 18th of the
month.
(b) All business telephones shall
have minimum rate Of one dollar
and seventy five cents ($175) per
month if paid after the 18th of the
month or one dollar and fifty cents
(s1.50) per month if paid on or be-
fore the 18th of the month
(c) Subscribers who have two res
idence telephones shall pay two dol
lars and twenty five cents ($2.25) per
month. Subscribers who have one
residence and one business telephone
shall pay two dollars and fifty cents
t$2.50) per month. Subscribers who
have Two business telephones shall
pay two dollars and seventy five
cents (s2.75) per month. However
twenty five cent ($.25) reduction will
be allowed in each case il paid on
or before the 18th.

Distribution of 1913 Highway Money

Rusk county will get SLIP from
the state highway fund for construc-
ton in 1913. although the county
had petitioned for over $4,000. The
total amount to be distributed
throughout the state is $37S,000, and
state aid has been petitioned for
to an amount far in excess of that.
Last year, before the people Of
the state became familiar with the
manner in which this fund was dis
tributed by the state, Rusk county
and several other counties We're able
to get more than the cOun-
ty was entitled to from this fund, be-
cause many counties had not called
for their pro rata share. Price coun-
ty only petitioned for $500 last year.
This year the provisions of the law
regarding this distribution are more
generally understood and there is
general rush to get as much of the
state aid for road building as possi-
Bile.

CRIPPLED BY CORN si4REDoERc

Corn shredders and huskers are
more dangerous to life and limb than
powder mill explosions and boiler ex-
plosions, according to bulletin A just
issued by the Industrial Commission
at Madison. The bulletin not only
tells about the accidents that oc-
Cured in the season Of 1911 but al
so relates how they might have been
prevented by simple means. The
bulletin is the result of an exhaust
i've inquiry made by the commission
last summer. Men who lost arms or
hands in corn shredders were inter-
viewed The advice Of the victims on
the means by which their accidents
might have been prevented, is Civ
en- in full The bulletin also con-
tains practical advice regarding the
guarding of dangerous parts of ma
chimes, and farmers, by following
this advice, will be able to put their
boys to work without fear of accl-
dent. BY corresponding with manufac-
turers and by enforcing the corn
shredder law, the commission al
ready has put stop to the import
ing of any unguarded shredders. The
bulletin is designed especially for
| the use of owners of machines which
were purchased before the enact
ment of the present law. Many of
| these older machines are menace
to life and limb because of incom-
! plete equipment Copies of the corn
shredder bulletin are being sent out
upon request.

Taft carried Rusk county

Wen, Taft carried Rusk county
anyway.
The election Tuesday was an over.
whelming democratic victory from
coast to coast, north and south. Will
sons victory is more one-sided than
his most enthusiastic supporters
looked for, while Taft made a mis-
cradle showing, in fact, it is very
doubtful whether any president Of
the United States seeking re-elec-
tSon to second term ever made
SO poor showing, as the latest re-
turns indicate that he will not have
over twelve votes in the electoral
college.
In the state, indications are that
the Republican ticket has won out
with majorities OF 5000 or more.
Karel men were claiming the cleo
ton as late as Wednesday night,
however, and it may require the

ty, getting 575 votes, Wilson 522,
