Why Some Stores Do Not Advertise.

Some merchants claim they can /
afford to advertise, and then tell their
customers they sell cheaper because
they do not advertise. Don't be de
ceived. The merchant who advertises
sells close to cost. He turns his
stock over many times year. In
stead of having to add a big profit
on every sale, he sells at low mar
gin of profit, but he sells out his COM
plete stock several times and the in
creased volume of his business shows
good substantial profit on the gross
business at the end of the year. Her
aid advertisers are in position to give
you the greatest values for your bust
ness. Patronize them.

POTOSrS LEADING INDUSTRY
The Potosi Brewing Company is a
Busy and Prosperous institution.

Down in Potosi it is claimed that
the brewery located there is one of
the most prosperous industries in this
section. Almost to man they
"point with pride" to the great build
ing that occupies the narrow space
between the solid rock and the high
way.
And as a further evidence of the
prosperity they call ones attention
to the fine residence of Adam Schu-
macher, who with his brother Nick
have built upthe business.
Surely the Schumacher home, on
the outside at least, looks like ready
money. 1t is large, richly built and
we are told it is handsomely and
elegantly furnished within.
Not many years ago the Potosi
brewery was a small and rather
struggling enterprise. But the head
of it had business sagacity-he be-
lieved that business is business, !"
and sticking to that principle has
won out. Down there it is claimed
that last year the brewery stock paid
80 per cent in dividends.
A few years ago Adam Schumacher
turned what was and had been his
Individual business into stock COM
pany. He capitalized it for fair
valuation, keeping control for him
self. Although he spends much time
away from the property, he is still
the dominating influence. Last w intre
he spent in Florida; this summer he
goes to Germany for an outing. OF
course that sort of a life calls for a
great number of nickels to support it,
but the Potosi brewery gets the
nickels.
Besides furnishing beer for all the
small saloons in the central and
southern part of Grant county, this
brewery supplies great number of
saloons up and down the Burlington
road. Then it is said the brewery
owns, or controls, number of
saloons in Dubuque. And the brewery
owns the steamer that plies between
Potosl and Dubuque. This boat
leaves Potosi every morning at 8
o'clock, carrying passengers and two
or three wagon loads of beer; in the
afternoon it returns.
Surely, one who passes Potosi
brewery is certain to be impressed
with the evidences of prosperity.
Everything there looks like profits and
ready money.

R. S. Watson, of Rockford, ILL.,,
and bride, formerly Miss Mary
Livens, of Lancaster, Wis, returned
home yesterday from their honeymoon
trip to Louisville, KY.
They were married in Rockford on
the evening of June Sd. After an 8
O'Clock dinner, served at the home

groom, the young couple left for Mr..
Watson's old home in Kentucky for a
two weeks visit.
They have gone to housekeeping in
a beautiful home, purchased and
furnised by Mr.. Watson, who has
been head engineer at the Illinois
School Furniture Co., for the past
five years and is a very estimable
young man.
Miss Livens has been a very COM
petent and trustworthy clerk the past
three years at the Christman Dry
Goods Co.'S store. A number of
showers were given for the bride by
her girl friends-Rockford Paper.

How the New Tariff Works.

From Marquette Mining journal.
Last month the exports of the
United States fell ST., 100000, in
round figures, below the record for
the corresponding month of 1913.
The imports of merchandise, on the
contrary, were greater by $26, 700,
600 than they were in April last year.
A balance of trade in favor of the
United States of $50, 100000 a year
ago was converted into an adverse
balance of $40, 900, 600 this spring.
The change was no less than 500, 900, :
600 in a single month. If continued
through a year it would pile up such
enormous Indebtedness to Europe that
gold would be drained from the coun-
try at an alarming rate.
1t is going out now. Gold exports
are becoming common and of large
proportions. The movement may 90
on for weeks or months unless condi-
tions IN the foreign trade change soon
and radically.
This is the work of the new tariff.
1t is enough to explain great deal
of the halting, depression and discon-
tent in the world of industry and
commerce.

CLYDE MAYHEM Wins
IN SUPREME court
Decision of the Circuit Court
is Sustained
Damages OF S12, 500 for Injuries Re
ceived in Mill Will Have
to be Faid.

The Wisconsin supreme court last
week affirmed the decision of the
Grant County Circuit court in the case
of Clyde Mayhem VS.. The Wisconsin
Zine Co., a mining corporation doing
business at Platteville, this county
In the October term of the circuit
court, last fall, this case came to
trial and Mayhem was given a Judg-
ment for So, 500 damages against
the company. Later the case was
appealed to the supreme court and
that tribunal has just reached decl-
sion in the matter, indicating that
the matter has been well and thorough
ly tried out there.
1t will be remembered that May
hew, man aged about % years, was
employed in the mill of the defendant
mining company, at Platteville, and
that on the 9Th of October, 1912, he
was putting some dressing upon a
driving belt, about Is inches wide,
which was passing around large
driving pulley revolving at speed of
about 700 revolutions a minute. He
reached across the belt in this opera
ton, and losing his balance, fell upon
it. The belt instantly carried him
to the pulley, where his right arm
was caught between the belt and the
pulley, and the velocity with which
it was running was so great that
the arm was broken and literally torn
from his body, leaving only small
portion of the bone and strings of
quivering flesh and muscles remain
ing on the shoulder. These afterward
shriveled away, leaving him pitiably
crippled.
He sued for $25, 900 damages, be-
ing represented by attorneys r. A.
Goodell, of Platteville and Brown,
Bennan & Carthew, of this city.
The mining company and bonding
company which had issued insurance
against accidents occurring in the
mill, were represented by attorneys
Kopp & Brunkhorst, of Platteville
and Williams & Stearns, of Milwau-
kee.
The case was very vigorously and
exhaustively fought out on both sides,
beginning on Wednesday and closing
Saturday afternoon. The jury retired
at II 40 p. m. and at 800 that
evening brought in verdict in favor
of Mayhem. The value of his
damages were placed at $12, 500.
H. E. Carthew, Grant county's very
capable district attorney, a member
of the law firm of Brown, Brennna &
Carthew, is the man who most ac-
lively led in conducting the caseefor
the plaintiff, and to him is largely
due the credit and honor for the final
outcome of the case.
The amount of damages is the
largest awarded in any case of this
character that has been tried in the
fifth judicial circuit in many years.

REPUBLICAN CONVENTION
Held in Madison Yesterday to Adopt
Platform and Nominate Can
didates for State Officers.

The state convention of republi-
cans held in Madison yesterday con-
vened at so late an hour that at the
time The Herald goes to press Tues
day evening no report of proceedings
is obtainable.
1t was fully understood that a
platform demanding lower taxes and
the adjustment of useless commits
sions would be adopted and state
ticket nominated.
Sentiment as expressed in Madison
yesterday, previous to the convention,
seemed to run strongly in favor E j.
L. Philip, who declared that he was
not a candidate. Many favored
Mayor Bading, of Milwaukee, Col. O..
G. Munson, of Viroqua, or Magnus
Swenson, of Madison.
Col. Munson said that while he was
in sympathy with the movement he
would not consent to become a candi-
date.
1t was expected that the conven-
tion would last only one day, but it
may be carry through into Wednes-
day.
"We will have between 500 and
700 delegates in the convention, -
said E. L. Philip, Monday night.
"They will come from the smaller
cities and villages. We have be-
tween 5000 and 10, 900 names signed
to the calls for state convention.
These names were secured by volun-
tary work. Most of them are voters
who have heretofore affiliated with
the progressive wing of the party.
So far from this being a stalwart
convention most of the old stalwarts
seemed to have fought shy of it. 1t
will be a convention of the rank
and file, not of the bosses.
AS to the state ticket, below the
office for governor, little has been
said, and this part of the program
will probably be carried through by
nominations on the floor of the con-
vention.
1t was thought that President c..
E. Pierce of the Home Rule and
Taxpayers league would address the
convention. He had been invited to
do so. Mr.. Pierce said Monday
night that he might appear before
the convention. If he did it would
be to tell the delegates what the
league stood for and assure them that
the members of the league would not
give their support to any one or any
party which did not heartily endorse
those principles.

Advocates Changing State Fair Into
Exposition.

With expensive state fair buildings
down and none of the building ap-
preparations availble, because Mil
waukee county refused to meet the
conditions made by the last Wiscon-
sin legislature, the plan of Secretary
of state John S. Donald to substitute
an exposition, was revived when re-
ports of the storm at West Allis, a
Milwaukee suburb, were received at
Madison. Mr.. Donald is convinced
that the present policy of maintain
ing an expensive plant like the State
Fair Park, valued at upwards
of 81, 100000 for 365 days, to be
used for four or five days each year,
is not right, and that these buildings
should be near some state institution
where they would be useful much of
the year. The plan is to hold an ex-
position of ten days or two weeks to
take the place of what is now general
ly known as the state fair. The plan
was presented to the special legisla-
tive committee and received much
favorable comment. 1t is now be-
lieved that owing to the storm
damage two weeks ago the project will
receive still further serious though is.

Cheese Factories Install Money Saving
Machinery.

A few of the cheese factories in
southwest Wisconsin are installing
machinery which will extract butter
fat from whey which has heretofore
been wasted. The butter fat is taken
from sweet whey and converted into
butter and in some sections of the
county it is converted into ice cream
and is said to be the finest cream that
can be obtained for making this
product. The amount of waste which
the machinery saves to each factory is
said to be between $50 and $50 per
month. -Dodgeville Chronicle.

LIKENs COUNTRY's
FLAG TO RAG.A RIOT

Aguas Calientes, Mex, Oct. 30
A coalition of the delegates repre-
senting General villa and General
! Zapata practically ruled today's SEES
sion of the Mexican national con-
vention, after the stormiest and
most exciting meeting the assembly
had witnessed. For time 1t threat
eDed to break into riot.
Antonio Soto y Cana, who spoke
for the Zapatistas, precipitated the
climax which threatened to disrupt
the convention. The first part Of his
speech, full of flowery phrases, was
applauded, but one of his metaphors
miscarried. He compared the Mexi-
can flag to a rag and was not per-
mitted to finish his figure OF speech.
Indignant delegates rose to their
feet with menacing gestures, and
the convention was soon in an up
roar. Some of the delegates, with
hands on their pistols, yelled at
each other in fury. Antonio VII
larealy chairman, pounded in. vain
for order. Out of the boxes and gal
leries crowds of spectators started
in a panic for the doors, hoping to
escape before the shooting began.
General Obregon and General Hay
and other prominent delegates, how
ever, rushed to the platform and
standing by the flag, succeeded IN
obtaining order.
Mr.. Soto y Cana resumed his
SPEECH explaining that what he in
tended to say was that the flag had
become a rag which traitors to real
liberty had used as an emblem TO
obtain power.
