Money wasted is money lost, and meney
saved is money made. So many things
enter into the equipment of the nowadays
that tendancy to keep things picked up
and in repaired not only adds to The progress
sive appearance of the farmet and his farm
but Is of great economic value as well. The
farmers OF this reservation as rule are using
m thods (if indeed such they may be term
ed) which are highly detrimental to their
success. They may exist asfarmers so long
as they have trust funds, it appears to be
the tendency of the average holder of timber
funds to view their bank account as in
exhaustible while they continue the practice
OF drawing ON the same for the upkeep #
TAI m and home. 1t would be well to reflect
occasionally and tumble to the fact that
these condions can not always las. Enough
of those who have followed this practice
have fallen by the wayside to DO an example
to others thus inclined.
Money spent for clearing land, even
though it may cost little more than it APP
pears 1t would and money spent on the
erection of permanent home and other
buildings on the farm is all good and well
because these bids fair to remain for lite
time, but if man already has these impro-
vements and is equipped with stock and
machinery he should then realize the purpose
of these things on the farm, they are needed
to make farming success and the practical
farmer possessing them should ask himself
if he is getting his moneys worth. If he
is not he should lose no time in finding out
the reason.
Some of our farmers who harvest con-
siderable hay each year are inclined to think
when the harvest is over that the contents
of their mows are in excess of the needs of
their stock and instead ofgetting more stock
to eat any possible surplus they at once eAS
gage the baler and haul the supposed sur
plus to market, the chances are before he
cuts his next crop he has come to realize
that he slipped a cog in his calculations and
he is obliged to buy feed at greatly in
creased price. Its poor practice. The
same policy is followed in the potato crop
TO great extent.
No doubt could count on the fngern of
one hand the number of farmers on the re-
servation who do not buy canned milk, to
say that in a section where dairying should
thrive in the fullest sense of the word is
rather astonishing, and can be reused only
when we stop to think that dairying here is
in its infancy, as is, in fact, almost any
branch of farming. Every farmer should
raise his own milk, butter, eggs, pork veg
etables, taxes and living expenses. If he
is not making the best of the opportunities
afforded in northern Wisconsin.

LOYAL THEATRE
UP-TO-DATE PLAYHOUSE
Should Be Given Support Of All
Citizens.

The manager of the Loyal Theatre, John
Harto, during part of last week played the
Jack Champion Stock Co., and the COM
pany was good, but the attendance was
not what it should of been. Had this same
company played at the Royal in Ashland and
had charged S1.50 and $500 admission,
large crowds of our citizens would of attend
ed. This is good policy that is to induce
manager Har.o to secure road shows for
his play house here. He is more than will
ing to try road shows, as many have wanted
them, but he can't be blamed for not doing
so, if those same people refuse to patronlze
them, and he has too foot the bill. Give
him your support show him you will support
his play house and he will go to big expense
TO get the best on the road for your enter
tainment. Don't shy at Csc and sl.O0 you
have to pay that at the Royal in Ashland
Patronize your own home play house and
see if you aren't treated right. Courtesy
is the name of the management. Your
pleasure is their one desire patronize our

conclusion, Il would have left the rail-

Mr.. Markham.

son.
But they are checked by their re-
sponsibility to the stockholdera, TO laws
and to the public" replied the witness.
