$3.50, the consumer paid $14.0o for
the same crate in the north.
Reader, why are THE above cendi-
tionks so? -
The grower and the consumer are
not organized. n'he others who
handle these goods are generaEsy or
ganfzed.
What is THE remedy?
cooperative growing, cooperative
packing, grading and shipping and
cooperative selling
Can you prove it,
Organized labor is paid double the
amount that was Bafd before they
were organized.
Denmark, one fifth as large as the
state OF FLORIDA supports 1900 600
people, exports $50, 100000 worth Of
! dairy products. pouItry and pork
products yearly. 80 per cent. of which
is done through cooperative sagen-
cies.
Vegetable and -fruib growers,
which is best for you, to join the
Florida Vegetable Marketing Bureau
and to ship in uniform crate. a
uniform grade of goods, and a guar
anteed grade at THE lowest trans
/ porbatfon rates, to be sold by yodr
own bonded salesman at much less
cost to you. To have your goods
sold in the best markets, thereby
avoiding the glutted markets, to
know when to quit shipping, or to go
alone as YOU are doing?
/ Cooperative growing. cooperative
packing, cooperative shipping and
cooperative selling is urged by the
best minds in the whole world, as
the best solution of the waste prob
iaem.

THE COMING WINTER WILL BE A
MILD ONE

According to Pack Roberts, of Der
by, Pennsylvania, a vetern weather
prophet, the coming winter will be
one of the mildest on record.
He says there will be only one or
two cold snaps. Roberts has been maxi
ing weather predictions for the last
forty two years and has hit it right
so many times that the people of Der
by take much stock in his weather
predic tions. Three months in advance
Roberts predicted the Christmas biz
zard of five years ago. Persons living
in all parts of the country who had cut
out his forecast for reference wrote
letters of congratulation.
Roberts method of ''doping the
weather is very simple, so he says.
The direction of the wind on Sept. 20
gives him the weather scheduled for
the first month of winter; the direction
of the wind, Sept. Il tells him what the
weather will be in January and the
direction OF the wind Sept 22 gives the
weather for February.
If the wind is from the south, it
means warm weather; from the east,
rains and snow; from the north, cold
weather and from the west, clear
weather.
If the wind shifts from the south in
the morning to east in the, afternoon,
Roberts says the fore part of the
month will be warm, shifting to rainy
in the last half The wind on the three
dates mentioned was principally from
the south with variations TO east and
west.

A. TRICK AMENDMENT

AS a sample of the viciousness of the
proposed amendments to the constitu-
ton of Wisconsin which the people
will be called upon to vote on at the
approaching election, it is worth while
to consider the one to authorize higher
pay for members of the legislature
The present pay Of Legislators is five
hundred dollars per session. The
adoption of the amendment would
make it six hundred dollars per an
mum. which would be twelve hundred
dollars per session. The average voter,
unless his attention was especially cal
led to the matter. never would think
about that. The evident intent Of the
trainers of the amendment was to
phase it in such away that the size of
the increase would not appear so large
as is really is.
The Evening Wisconsin reiterates its
advice TO its readers to vote against
every one of the proposed amend
ments

AGRICULTURAL COLUMN.
By JOHN SWEETHEART.
FOREST COUNTY TO HAVE
SHORT COURSE

On the farm no less than in business
we must keep up with the times if we
are 20 succeed. The methods of ten
years ago are useless today. New
things are being found out every day
for the farmer who gets down to the
brass tacks of farming. The real
practical farmer is the one who can
use the experience of others, mixed
with his own, to make profits.
To help scatter these results OF ex-
perience among our farmers the Col
lege of Agriculture, under the auspices
of the County Agricultural Represent
ative, will give a three days short
course for farmers in this county. The
course will be for the real farmer who
wants to find the best way of doing his
work. Forest county conditions will
be met. We don't care about what
can be done in Iowa; we want what
will work in Forest couaty- Every
farmer should plan on attending the en-
tire three days. 1t viii pay. Watch for
further announcements, progrms, and
dates. Help Make Forest County AL
ways Good.

COUNT SEAT NEWS
From The Crandon Republican

Jesse Stamper of this city lost a
little daughter Wednesday, child
about eighteen months old. Mr.. STAN
per, who is brother of Geo. Stamper
of brandon, only recently came here to
live The death of the child so upset its
mother that she insisted on returning
to Kentucky and taking the chilo there
for burial. Mr.. and Mrs. Stamper and
Mr.. Stamper's father and mother all
left hers Thursday for the south.
Louis McMillion drove from his farm
into Crandon last Saturday night,
about miles, with two chickens roost-
ing on the wagon reach. Quite crowd
gathered about the wagon when the
chickens were discovered, but the birds
paid no attention, and when he left
town for home two hours later they
made the journey safely back to the
farm.
A Polish woman unable to speak Eng
lish brought her sick baby from Lennox
Tuesday for medical treatment by one
of our local physicians. The child was
very sick with a spinal affection and
the physician told her not to attempt
taking it back to Lennox that day.
However, the mother insisted on going
home with it ard the doctor took her in
his car to the Northwestern depot in
the afternoon. In ten minutes after
arriving at the depot the child was
dead in it's mothers arms.
The two-story frame residence on
John McMillion's farm west of Crandon
burned to the ground with nearly all of
its contents Sunday evening. Mr.. Nc
Million and his family were attending
a show at the Princess theatre when
the building burned. Only $500 insur-
ance was carried on the property and
the loss is a severe one to McMillion.
A few weeks ago a valuable horse was
lost and Mr.. McMilliOn is now wonder
ing what bad luck will happen him
next.

w. & N. RAILWAY OBJECTS TO
THE BUILDING OF THE KING
STON BRANCH

Amigo Journal: Objections to the
granting of permits of public coven-
fence and necessity to the Chicago and
Northwestern Railway for the con-
stCuction of extensions from Kopenick
to Pearsons and from Kingston, Ocon-
to county, to Langlade, was made by
c. H. Hartly of the Wisconsin & North
ern Railway company and their attor
ney, M. J. Walrich of Shawano, at a
hearing conducted at the city hall last
Tuesday by David c. Harlow, a men,
Der of the Wisconsin Railroad Com
mission.
The objections contend that surveys
made by the Northwestern show it is
their intention to connect the line
from Kingston with the Wolf RiAer
division, and that this would result in
an invasion of territory served by the
Wisconsin & Northern, i, e., the towns
in ranges 10 and IA The laws forbid
duplication of lines in the same terri
The matter was taken under advise
ment by the Commission in order that
Attorney Wallrich might file further
objections
VIM. Wheeler, counsel for the c..
& n w. in Wisconsin, appeared for
them, and w. H. Finley, chief en-
gineer, of Chicago, was present and
testified. The c. NJ. & 81 P. Ry was
not represented. District Attorny c.
J. TIE Selle appeared on behalf of the
county and the owners of property
across which the proposed lines will be
built. and spoke in favor of the con-
/ struction OF the lines.

WISCONSIN COMMISSION ORDERS
RE-ASSESsMENT OF THE TOWN
OF NORTH BRANDON

On the 27th day of June the Wiscon-
sin Tax Commission held summary
hearing in the town of North Crandon
for the purpose of looking into the
manner in which the Ola assessment
was carried on. This meeting was adj
journed to August % upon the sugges-
ton OF the chairman of the tax com
mission, Nels P. Haugen, who conduct
ed the hearing.
The adjournment was taken for the
purpose of giving the assessor and Of
ficers of the town an opportunity to
revise the assessment. But they having
failed and neglected to do 50, and the
Commission feeling that the real and
personal property of the town was not
assessed in substantial compliance
with the law, and that the interests of
the public would be promoted by re-
assessment, the order for such was re-
Gently entered.
John j. Colignon of Green Bay and
Frank .Londo of Wabeno were appoint
ed to make the assessment, and the
work will ne entered upon immediate
ly. Mr.. Colignon is well qualified to
do the work as he has had full charge
of the recent reassessment of the town
of Armstrong, Oconto county. Frank
Londo has for several years been doing
good work as assessor of the town of
Wabeno.
In view of the fact that both these
gentlemen are well acquainted with
the conditions in Northern Wisconsin,
it is expected that they will give the
people of North Crandon very good
assessment. Northern Citizen.

IS 1T WORTH IT?

Have you ever stopped to observe
neighbor, that no one ever gets rich by
sending to Chicago for laundry soar
and shoes; to Minneapolis for door,
kuobs and eross-cut saws, and to st.
Paul for dresses and night gowns?
Suppose you traded for one year IN
this tumble bug fashion, pouring over
mail order catalogs; sending your mon
ey to the four winds of heaven; ehas-
ing to the depot every few days for ex-
press packages and freight; wearing
and eating goods from the Lord knows
where, and kept careful track OF your
expenditures during that year, inclnd-
ing money order fees, freight bills, lost
time and damaged goods.
Then suppose VOC got change OF
heart and~resolved to do unto others
as you would have others do unto you
suppose you did your buying the
next year in the good old kindly, neigh
borly way, giving Merchants Smith,
Jones, Brown and Robinson in your
home town each share of your trade
and feeling glad in your heart that in
so doing you We're helping each of them
just little to solve the problem that
all men have to face in the journey
through life.
When December 3lst came and you
figured up accounts, do you honestly
believe you would be much, if at all,
worse off than you were on the pre-
ceeding 31st of December.
And don't you think you would be
millions of dollars ahead in real salts
faction with yourself-in thoughts of
good deads done; kindly, neighborly
feelings cherished, and generous,
broad impulses obeyed-
The average family spends $40 per
year Let us SUPPOSE that close, su-
per-thrifty and absolutely selfish buy
ing effects saving of 10 per cent of
this sum. AS matter of actual ex-
perience it does not; but let us
suppose, for the sake of putting the
cas- {, that it does; that would be $84
in roundn umbers
Now the average family breaks up
in less than thirty-fve years. Thirty
five times $84 is So, $40.
Thus we see that 'after married
lifetime of daily anxiety to save few
cents at the expense of generous inn
pufses-a lifetime of selfish and soul
whitening disregard for the welfare of
others, the average husband and wife,
who steadily pursue the plan of buying
anywhere and from anybody so long
! as there appears to be a Slight saving
on each item purchased, will have less
than $4,000 more to pass on to their
survivors than the live-and-let-live
family who, on the other hand, be it
embered, get oceans of satisfaction
out of life, not measurable in terms of
dollars and cents.
Candidly, good neighbor, is it worth
the price, fleetwood City Tribune.

WISCONSIN RANKS THIRD IN
POTATOES

Although New York and Michigan
claim that the acreage of their Irish
potato patches exceed that of the
Badger state, Wisconsin, farmers are
credited by government officials and
plant disease specialists with having
their fields exceptionally free from po-
tato diseases. This means that of Wis
consin's "a 900 600 bushel potato crop,
a large portion will be in strong de-
mand as seed and table stock. In 1913
Wisconsin ranked first IN the produc-
tion of potatoes.

WHY HAp-HAzARD CLEARING?

When we start clearing our fields it
pays to plan ahead so as to have reg
ular easily titled field when we get
through. Many of US clear here and
there and finally have a piece of land
with all kinds of corners, and perhaps
forty rods from the building. We can
not work this handily, the corners are
wasted and weeds get started. Why
not clear off a square or rectangular
field which will be easy to handle. 1t
is these regular fields that pay the
profit because they can be worked
cheaper. 1t may cost more at first in
labor but the result will be greater.
Three acres in regular shaped field
will make more profit than four acres
of odds and ends of clearing. Try
it. Let's square up these fields and
cut out waste.

NO PATENT ON THIS RAT TRAP

An Iowa farmer has devised rat
trap upon which he claims no patent,
but which any one troubled with rats
can use. He purchased big galvan-
izeo iron bucket or garbage pail and
placed it in the barn. He filed it
two-thirds full of water and on top of
the water he spread layer of chaffy
oats an inch thick The next morning
he emptied out the mixture of water,
oats and drowned rats. He rebuilt his
trap and the next morning he figured
results, and found that he had got rid
of 80 rats. He declars it will rid a
barn in a short time.
