sleeves in oneipiece and had.to be pull

when Alaska was purchased people

much money, but tbatshalf of the fish
caught there in year would more
than pay for the whole territory. In

were improving and that now there
were some good ones there. j G3

LOOKING After Iron.

Cazenovia Reporter: Another at
tempt is being made to locate iron In
this locality. This time shaft is
being sunk on the Hugh Casey farm
about mile northeast of this place.
At this time the shaft is down about
twenty y-fivefeet, and they expected to
reach the iron Thursday. If the quail

put to work at once. Prospecting is
to be done ON the J. r. Carroll place

bateau loaded with money and goods
for the purpose of trading with red
men for his furs, were making trip
on the river. These traders arrived at
the above point mentioned where there
was an eddy in the stream sheltered
by the rocks. During the night a
terrible wind and rain stor m visited
the place and in the morning it was
found by the redmen that the rocks
from high ledge had slipped from
the bank, leaving no trace of the
traders or the bottom. One large rock
projecting into the river gave rise to
the name of Cave Rock. The writer
remembers several parties, who have
hunted for the money here sunk,
which was said to amount to several
thousand pounds in specie. The
hunt has always been fruitiess. 1t is
a mistaken idea that boat could be
seen at the bottom of the river when the
water was clear but such is not the
case as divers report nothing but rocks
at the bottom.

SEEDSMEN DOUBLE MONEY

The opening session of the Sauk
County order of the, Wisconsin Ey-
perimental association was held at
Reedsburg on Thursday morning, the
meeting to continue for two days.
The attendance was not large but the
interest was keen.
The Presidents address was given
by g. w. Davies, the Sauk County
Superintendent, who advocated closer
organization for selling grains and a
salary for the secretary.
w. A. Toole, the secretary and
treasurer, reported that three sale lists
had been printed during the year and
that there were now fifty.thre men,
bers.
At the noon hour soup and coffee
were served by the training school
girls to those who took lunch to the
building.
T. J. Martiny of Fairfield gave his
experiences on raising, curing and
selling seed corn. During the past
season he sold seed valued at $1,000 for
which the seedsmen receive $2400 or
profit of 100 per cent. Mr.. Martiny
believed that better organizations
would enable sales to be made direct
to the grower and save largesums both
to the producer and user OF seed grains.
George Seamans of Reedsburg took
for Fssol bis. subject; Farm Advertising.
He said that California became known
the world over by advertising and he
believed that If the farms and products
of the Baraboo valley were advertised
in the same way the residents would
receive as great results as have peen
achieved in the Pacific co ass states.
He advocated farm names and letter
heads for farmers.
Prof d. II. Otis of Madison spoke
on "Farm Management" and said that
the different kinds of management on
the farm often makes a difference on
great and small profits or an actual
loss to the farmer.

A BUSINESS REVIEW OF THE

On the stock exchange the tendency
has been toward sharp irregularity. IC
no means clear and free of obstacles,
that curative tendencies are quietly at
work and having an influence upon
values. 1t is many months, however
since the market has witnessed such
a pronounced differences of opinion
There Is still a large short interest
outstanding, which will tend to pro-
tect the market from any sharp de-
preston. There are also a number
of buyers who begin to realize that
many of the unfavorable features have
been largely discounted, and that If a
further improvement in underlying
conditions develop the effect will be
stimulating upon security values. 1t
must be recognized that general bust
estate operations there have been few
signsg of OVERRIDING. Merchants and
manufacturers have been operating on
a hand-to-mouth basis for months past.
Supplies of merchandise are, therefore
exceptionally low. For this condition
of affairs, hesitation regarding the
tariff has been mainly responsible. 1t
is now anticipated that the tariff will
be settled in either August or Septem-

ended there will be a rush OF orders
to restore supplies to the normal. Part
of these orders will no doubt go to
American mills and part will go
abroad. In all probability Their will
be a rush of imports, the effect of
which will be to diminish the usual

Man and Wife Fatten on Grape-Nuts

The notion that meat is necessary
for real strength and the foundation of
solid flesh is now no longer as preva-
lent as formerly.
Excessive meat eaters are usually
sluggish part Of the time because
they are not able to fully digest their
food, and the undigested portion is
changed into what is practically a kind
of poison that acts upon the blood and
nerves, thus getting all through the
system.

she would eat Grape-Nuts too. Now
she is fat and well and has gained 40
pounds. We never have indigestion
any more and seldom feel the desire

A neighbor of ours, IS years old. was
troubled with Indigestion for years,
and was a heavy meat eater. Now
since he has been eating Grape Nuts
regularly, he says he is well and never
