IA Time When Money Can Be Saved.

7 The time Of year has come when
there are bargains in the stores on
every hand. Merchants simply have
to turn their stocks into cash. IF
they didn't they would have no room
to show goods, and they would have
to borrow money at high rates of in
terest Consequently they will sell at
low rates.
On any kind of goods where styles
change, and that includes about every
thing nowadays. a merchant would
rather take low price today than
carry them to next season and find
that on account of some within in
f1shion they are outlawed.
The columns Of this newspaper are
directory of bargains. The mer-
chants who have offerings to make
that you can't afford to ignore are
telling the public through these
advertisements about the sacrifices
they are making. Time spent in
studying their offerings will pay for
itself hundred fold in making your
selections.
The habit of reading the newspaper
advertising is so universal that few
people need to be urged to note what
the merchants are saying about their
stocks. Here and there is merchant
who has not realized how hopeless a
process it is to clean out an old stock
without the help of the newspaper.
Nothing comes nowadays unless
you get out and go after it. The
public are listening, but it expects
the merchants to take the initiative.
A dealer who does not advertise il
looked at as not having enterprise
enough to protect the interest of the
public, and to give them goods a.
bottom values.

THE PEOPLE AWAKE TO
VALUE OF ALFALFA
The Subject that Henceforth Will Alb
sorb Attention.

From the number of letters from
farmers that are appearing in the
local papers of the state it is apparent
that the awakened interest in alfalfa
has come to stay. It was a long
campaign by the few who were will
in to put in their time and efforts to
produce this result-a result that
ultimately will add more than 500. :
QUO, 900 to the annual agricultural
output of the state of Wisconsin.
The greatest effort along this line
Of PROCESS was put forth by the Wis
consin Advancement association
It's efforts were we'll supported by the
press of the state A few of the
counties are yet slumberipg on this
subject, but the progress is so great
that it will sooner or later carry these
few counties along with the rest.
Wisconsin is going to be the lead
ing alfalfa state of the Mississippi
valley. 1t has advantages over all
the other states of the Mississippi
valley for the extensive production Of
this kind of forage crops, - and this
is especially true in the central and
northern counties.
Certainly the addition of 800, 900, :
600 to the annual output is ICON
summation devoutly to be wished. -

Free Wool and Clothing Prices.

The Chicago Record Herald which
interviewed Chicago clothing manu-
facturers On the effect of free wool on
prices of clothing says:
An official Of one big clothing
house asserted that the proposal would
result in an immediate decrease of
10 per cent in the cost of clothing to
consumers, while another said the
open market which naturally would
follow the removal of such duty
would have a tendency to induce all
foreign manufacturers to raise their
prices. A dozen or more concerns,
including Marshall Field & Co. re-
fused to commit themselves
Max Hart Of Hart. Schaffner &
Marx, gave out this statement:
Present conditions of the world s
wool market are such that the price
of mems clothing will probably not
be affected at once by free wool. In
time, some reduction should result,
depending on the abundance Of wool,
but in the present state of things, no
one is justified in expecting free wool
to bring any immediate or extensive
reduction. -
"Foreign manufacturers are just
like Americans. said Henry X.
Strauss, vice president of the Ameri-
can Wooden Mills company, and are
always trying to get the highest prices
they can for their outputs. Natural
" they would become a little hog
gish'' if they had an open market IN
this country. in consequence of which
the price of clothing would be in
creased rather than decreased.
Lester Stern, treasurer Of che Elvi-
Lester Woolen company, declared that
the price of raw wool played an in
significant part in the making up OF
garment. He claimed that it was the
labor aud cost of manufacturing that
determined the cost Of clothing.
A. 81. Lamm, vice president Of
Lamm & Co.. shared Mr.. Stern 3
opinion, and added that he believed
free wool would change the market
only as far as quality was concerned.

Keeping Up Hillside Cemetery.

Much fault has been found and
complaint made that our cemetery
does not look as it should, which is
very true. Yet little fault is found
by those who sent in their dollar a
year required to do this work.
Our rules are to care for lots as
money is sent in. As wages are now,
the above sum barely covers the
wages of the man employed for that
purpose, for remember, the ground has
to be gone over many times during
the season. And around the head
stones and markers also between
mounds, as former graves were fixed,
the man employed has to use the hand
sickle, which takes time. On an
average there is work enough to en-
ploy two men and only money enough
to paw one, as the lots paid for must
be properly kept.
The association works hard to get
money to care for all roads and by
ways in the cemetery, also to keep
approaches, gates and fences in good
shape; pay for all Towering plants
and shrubbery not otherwise provided,
etc. This cannot be Fdone without
cash to work with and we can not use
other peoples money to pay for the
possibly might-pay' people. So il
you expect to have your lot cared for
remember the rule: mo pay nc
work, \" so far as caring for lots goes.

WISCONSIN NOW LEADS
IN NUMBER OF COWS.
Greatest Dairy State in Union-New
Regulations Enacted Regarding
Licenses for Stations.

The census of 1910 shows loss in
the number of dairy COWS in ten
states. The heaviest loss was in
Iowa where there were 16, $50 less in
1910 than in 1900 All the New Eng
land states show losses. the heaviest
being in Maine where the decrease
was Is, 733. The total loss in the ten
states was 80, 1872. New York made a
nominal gain of 1886 approximately
one half of one per cent. Wisconsin
had the largest gain, the increase
bieng 475, 108. This is a gain of AZ. 6
per cent. Minnesota gained 33l, 756
and Michigan 2O3, 178. The three
states of Wisconsin, Minnesota and
Michigan gained approximately 30 per
cent of the total increase. At this
rate it is easy to see that Wisconsin
is destined to materially increase her
rank in first position in the dairy
Industry in the nation.
