Wisconsin farmer, providing a good
market is near at hand throughout the
ripening season, George Baxter of Yes
per can furnish interesting testimony
He owns a quarter section of cut Over
pine land near Vesper which he
bought, stumps included, nine years
ago. From less than half acre OF
the quarter, seventy-three square rods
in 1913, he sold 1876 bushels of pickles
weighing 9,787 pounds. He received il
return, as the records at the pickle
station show, $126.57, rate of better
than $3.50 an acre. Il was Mr.. Bakers
first experience with pickles and in
telling of his big yield he says if he
had known at the beginning of tn
5eason what he learned by the close
of it the yield could easily have been
made $3.50 or even 5000 for the han

FAVORS HOUSEWIVES UNION
Urges Women to Band Together
For Wholesale Purchases.

Madison-In an address before a
session of the womens course in home
economics, conducted by the Uni
versity of Wisconsin. Miss Abbie Mar
latt of the home economics depart
ment Of the university made strong
plea for unionism among housewives
n America. The purpose of the union
advocated by Miss Marlatt is not only
to protect women from INSCRIPTIONS
dealers, but also to educate them to
full and just knowledge of the condi,
tons they must meet in their homes
in regard to labor, food and textile
problems. Speaking of labor problems
Miss Marlatt stated that the standard
of wages for labor should be eff
cheney. Increased efficiency should
mean increased wages. She dwelt up
on the maxim that no woman should
order a household in such way as tC
enslave any human being. Miss Mar
latt pointed out the fact that the de
mand for servants by far exceeds the
supply, and offered two possible sou
tions Of the problem. One was fol
the housewife to do her own worA
and the other was to engage prOfe5
sional help by the hour.

COMPANY NAMED IN
LITIGATION.

Year Lease by Improvement
Co.-Government to
Hear Petition.

Eau Claire.-The famous Dells dam
suit goes to trial here in circuit court
before Judge Reed of Wausau. The
case has been hanging fire since 1906.
The city of Eau Claire precipitated
the litigation by taking possession Of
the dam then held under a ninety-nine
year lease by the Eau Claire Dells
Improvement company and the Dells
Paper and Pulp company.
The seizure was made on the
grounds that the companies had for
reited their rights by violation of their
contract. The dam was built by the
city in 1877 and leased to the i'm
provement company.
The city expended 100000 in build
ing the dam and under the terms of
it's lease from the city the improve.
ment company secured all rights and
privileges except the power to operate
the city water works and $50 horse
power under another lease.
