BETTER SCALE FOR PICKLES
Wittig Co. Will Pay More For Pickles
and Want Larger Acreage

d. J. Witttig & Co., of Green Bay,
this point, are going to make a de-
termined effort next year to increase
the acreage here. To that end they
are offering increased prices for all
but the "nubs and CROOKS" which
are at best improbable to handle.
Those who give their vines the best
care will have comparatively few
that come under that classification,
however.
For next season they offer the fol-
lowing prices: $3.50 per cwt. for
small pickles, 1 in. to 31a in; so
cents per cwt. for large pickles, 312
in to 5 in; and 80 cents for small
nubs and crooks. The company writes
that with a small acreage they
could not afford to pay such prices,
but they believe the increase in
price will assist in securing a larger
acreage for them, thereby enabling
them to cut down the overhead ex-
penses." This in turn will enable
them to pay the farmers more for
their work and will result in great
er satisfaction all around.
The company also says: "It af-
fords us great pleasure to be able
to increase the prices. But We hope
the growers and business men will
please bear in mind that We must
have more growers and a larger acre
age and that we need their assistance
and friendship in order to procure
same"
Farmers that want to get the
greatest profit from raising cucum-
oers, will commence the preparation
Of their ground in the fall. Mir. Pet
arsOn says they should put on fer
tiliZer and plow in rather shallow
this fall. In the spring, the land
should be given another dressing Of
manure and a deep plowing. Then
during the interval between plant
ing, the ground should be cultivated
occasionally to keep the weeds down.
If that course is followed, by the
time of planting, between May 20
and June 10, the weeds will be pretty
we'll killed and the fertilizer will be
we'll mixed with the ground.

ROTTLING WORKS MOVES
TO BETTER LOCATION

c. B. Hood, proprietor of the Lady
smith Bottling Works, has moved his
establishment up town and is now
located in the Weideman building,
just west of the Spear garage Mr..
Hood has an option on the building
he has moved into and his location
there will doubtless be permanent.
The location of the bottling works
at the springs near the county bridge
was very inconvenient in many ways,
being SO far from the main part OF
the city and outside of the limits of
electric lights, sewerage and water
For these reasons Mr.. Hood decided
to take advantage of the fact that
the city now has for it's water sup
ply, the finest of wells, supplying wa
ter that is not only absolutely pure,
but soft and very suitable for bottling
in carbonated and other beverages.
He has now better facilities for
bottling the many different soft
drinks that are becoming so popular
throughout this section of the state.
With city water and sewerage he
has better opportunity for the thor
ough washing and rinsing of every
bottle. Mr.. Hood has just installed
an automatic rinser, using fresh wa
ter for every bottle, an appliance he
could not have used in the old lOca-
Mr.. Hood has conducted the Lady
smith Bottling Works for nearly two
years and during that time his busi-
ness has shown a steady and graft
flying increase. His equipment is
thoroughly up-to-date in every par
ticular and it will well repay anyone
to visit the establishment, when they
are well settled in the new location,
and see what a modern bottling plant
Ladysmith has.

Bad Auto Accident

A bad auto accident occurred on
Friday evening at the railroad cross
ing on the county road east of the
Chippewa river. The car was the Nc
Gee car of Weyerhaeuser and was
driven by Miss Margaret MCGEE who
was accompanied by Miss Laura La
Fave in the front seat and Mr.. and
Mrs. Harmed in the back seat.
The party had reached the cross
ing and were going at rapid rate.
The view beyond the crossing on the
north side is hidden from view as
one approaches on the other side, and
thus an approaching team was not
seen until the auto was on the rail
road track. Miss MCGEE was unable
to stop the machine, and in her at
tempt to turn out went over the high
embankment and the car it is said
tipped over three times in making
the descent from the embankment to
the ditch where it stopped.
Mr.. and Mrs. Harmed, who were in
the back seat escaped with minor in
juries, being thrown from the car be-
fore it turned turtle. Miss LaFave
and MCGEE remained in the car, and
were found pinned under it when it
stopped They escaped with their
lives, but how they were spared from
death is a mystery. Miss LaFave re-
ceived the worst injuries and is still
confined to her bed, but it is hoped
she will recover without permanent
injury Miss McGee was also badly
injured but was able TO be around the
first of the week.
Following the injury, the injured
were brought to the village, and
taken to their homes in Weyerhaeus-
er by automobile. The car, which was
a Ford, was brought this week to the
village for repairs by the Bruce Auto
| Co., and is badly broken up.-Bruce

FEARFUL HUMOR
COVERED Face
RESIN0L CURED

Paterson, n. j., Dec. 0, 1918: about
a year ago my face began to crack and
get scaly in blotches- 1t soon got
worse and my face was all spotted and
rough, and it itched me very much at
night, and caused me no end of discom-
fort. After a month or 30, pimples and
blackheads began to show, first in small
numbers and then gradually covering
my entire face. 1t was awful. The
pimples were sore and the rash was
itchy and my face had most un-
slightly appearance. / could get no
relief. Resinol Soap and Resinol Oint-
ment caused me instant relief. By the
time another jar of Resinol Ointment
and cake of Resinol Soap were gone,
/ can truthfully say that it was COM
plete cure. Ny face had assumed its
former color and looks, due to Resinoi
Soap and Resinol Ointment. They are.
j think, the best for any skin trouble"
