The Fort Atkinson fremen saved the

when a fire originated in the drag rod
and paint shed. 1t was shortly before
six o'clock when the alarm was sound
ed. The department started in an op-
posite direction from the fire but were

flames extinguished and aside from
burning few drag rods and tank of
paint, no other damage resulted.
While Herman F. Miller, farmer
living six miles west of this city on the
Rockdale road, was working in field
last Saturday morning, he perceived a
large gray timber wolf chasing his dog
from the woods in front of him. AS
soon as the lank, lean, savage and hun
Cry looking animal saw Miller he
dashed back into the woods. Armed
with a shotgun Miller pursued and af
ter search of some length he discov-
cred to his surprise, three wolves
crossing the woods less than thirty rods
from him. When Miller reached a
clearing he raised his gun and fired.
The first shot at the trio took effect
and one of the wolves dropped in his
tracks, but to make sure of his victim
Miller discharged the guns contents
again into the savage animal. Reload
ing he shot at another but the shot
went wild and the wolf was away as
quick as a flash into thicket of
bushes. Miller trailed the animal a
short distance but lost track of him.
The third wolf Miller says, made sly
get away.

Etion as mayor, two business men were
talking near, a State street news
Fstand. One of them said:
Lets get a Day Book and get the
TRUTH about how it happened"
And the biggest business men in
town are reading The Day Book reg
kuIarly nOw-not because they are in
Hove with its news and editorial pol
kicy. but because they want to know
1.-THE truth. They have discovered that
there is not a single day that they
won't find some news in The Day
Book that isn't printed in any other
paper in town.
This is bound to help make the
other papers better newspapers. If l
can force them to print the truth even
on the ground that there is no use
for them to suppress it when The
Day Book prints it, that will help.
And / can help them by convincing
some Of the big business men to see
that it is all wrong to use their inflU-
fence on newspapers to induce them
ITO cheat and defraUd their readers
with adulterated news.
But 1 don't expect to accomplish
much by appeals to conscience or by
preaching journalistic morality. The
Esaner way is to prove to publishers
that IT DOESN'T PAY TO SUP
PRESS THE TRUTH; and that IT
DOESN'T PAY TO CHEAT THEIR
READERS.
1 have compelled some improve
.ment in the other papers already. But
q viii make them improve much more.
AN 1 want is circulation, and more
circulation. Then when give the peO-
pie the truth they'll insist on it from
the others.

After perusing the above you will

to be an expensive meal.
Turkeys are almost as scarce. as
hens teeth around Richmond, and
can't be bought at scarcely any price.
The few that farmers have on hand
have already been sold months ago,
and the markets are flooded with or
ders from points outside of town.
The rains during the summer have
worked havoc among the young stock
and farmers are depicting their flocks
in an effort to supply the demand, and
they say that this will cause the price
to be higher later in the season.

tions, and require lot of care. Dur.
ing the summer there has been SO
much rain and cold weather that the
young stock has not had much of a
chance to develop, and as a conse-
quence of this farmers are holding on
to their birds for breeding purposes.
1t is estimated that at least so per
cent of the young turkeys Matched
this year have died, and farmers are
conserving their flocks.
AS a usual thing there are about
a thousand turkeys sold in Richmond
for THANKSGIVING day meals, but this
number will be greatly reduced this
year.
What will happen between Thanks
giving and Christmas can not be esti-
mated at this time, but there will be
few turkeys on the market, and what
there are will be at top prices.
Cranberries need plenty of water to
grow, but apparently even this hardI
est of fruits got little too much thsi
year. The demand is much greater
than the supply. and the price has
jumped and promises to go higher.

INSPECTORS
GUARD U. S. HEALTH
AT PACKING HOUSES

More than 100000 meat animals
were slaughtered in establishments un-
der Federal inspection during the fig
cal year ending June 80, 1915. Since
approximately from So to 60 per cent
of the animals killed in the country
are slaughtered in establishments
where Federal inspection is maintain
ed, it appears that about 1O0,OO0,000
meat animals are now being killed
each year in the United States.
Of the animals subjected to Federal
inspection 299,958 were condemned as
unfit: for human use, and 644,6S8 were
condemned in part. Thus a little
more than ~ per cent. Of all the
animals inspected we're condemned
either in whole or in part. These
figures include only cattle. calves,
sheep, goats and swine.

On account of this disease, and in ad-
dition parts of 48, 900 cattle and 44O, 900

for the next largest loss, nearly 102, 900
swine being condemned entirely on
this account.
In the course of It's work, the Bureau
of Animal Industry, which is in charge
